A Thorn Among The Roses

Ethan Blackwood is more than just a ruthless CEO and a formidable Alpha of the Silvercrest pack—he’s the last line of defense against a rising darkness threatening to consume his world. As strange attacks and supernatural anomalies plague his territory, Ethan finds himself drawn deeper into a web of ancient magic, betrayal, and dangerous enemies who won’t stop until they see him fall. Amid the chaos, Lila Calloway, a mysterious witch with a past shrouded in secrets, becomes an unlikely ally. Her knowledge of forbidden magic and her uncanny ability to anticipate the enemy’s moves make her invaluable—but her true motives remain unclear. The more time Ethan spends with her, the more he’s torn between his instincts to protect his pack and the inexplicable pull he feels toward her. As tensions escalate, Amelia Carter, Ethan’s loyal Beta, struggles to hold the pack together while keeping her own feelings for Ethan buried. But when a devastating betrayal reveals a traitor within their ranks, the fragile trust between them begins to crack. Now, with the enemy closing in and their resources stretched thin, Ethan must uncover the secrets of the ancient Binding Stone—an artifact that could either save his pack or destroy everything he holds dear. As alliances shift and forbidden desires ignite, Ethan is forced to confront not only the dangers lurking outside but also the darkness within himself. In a world where loyalty is tested, love is forbidden, and power comes at a steep price, Ethan must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect those he loves—and whether the Alpha’s strength is enough to survive the shadows threatening to consume them all.

They call me a demon, a monster, the disgrace of the gods. Funny, isn’t it? The same beings who tore my life to shreds now grovel at my feet, begging for mercy. Mercy? Hah! I’ve forgotten what that feels like. Back then I was the lively son of the great God of War, dreaming of glory and honor. But dreams are fragile things, easily shattered under the boots of those who think themselves untouchable. They made me their plaything, broke me, hunted me like a dog, took my smile. But I don’t break. No, I thrive. I laugh. I destroy. Now, I sit on the ruins of their golden thrones, wearing a smile they’ll never forget. Kind gods? Just ones? No, the gods are cruel. And I? I am the God of Gods. Their nightmare. Their end. I am the God of Amusement New chapters every Wednesday and Saturday.

Among them is the protagonist, a Void Dragon with unknown powers who prefers laziness to greatness. On the very first day, he ignores the rules and, in his true dragon form, sleeps peacefully on a rock in the forest near the school. There, he is discovered by a girl belonging to the Light Dragons, the most revered race for bringing light to the universe.

It was supposed to be a new beginning—fresh faces, towering mountains, and the promise of untamed horizons. But the world doesn’t always play fair. The snow-covered peaks held secrets, ancient whispers that pulled at the edges of reality. A frosted gaze, a frozen heart. A fleeting warmth that lingered, only to unravel. The air was heavy, the nights restless. I was unlucky. A quiet campus turned labyrinthine. Paths twisted into trails where footsteps vanished, and in the silence, shadows became more than just absence. Questions followed like echoes: What am I? What do I belong to? And why does the sky feel too close and too far all at once? A frostbite that never healed. A cliff's edge that wouldn’t let go. A hand reached out—divine or cruel? Each step forward pulled deeper into the unknown, where gods didn’t walk, but fragments of them did, fractured and wary, watching. The world isn’t broken; it’s just no longer whole. Beyond the mountains, among the clouds, lies a story unwritten, where reality bends and belief becomes the weight that anchors existence. But the question is simple: Can you bear the cold?
