The Bastard Third Winchester, Jo Harvelle

"You're nothing. You hear me? Nothing." - John Winchester

"You're not nothing, Riley Winchester. You never were."- Jo Harvelle

They say blood makes you family. But sometimes, blood is just another thing that stains your hands.

Riley Jason Winchester never asked to exist. Born from John Winchester's affair nine months after Mary's death, he's been paying for his father's sins his entire life.

While Dean and Sam got scraps of love from a broken man, Riley got fists, fury, and the constant reminder that he was nothing more than a mistake-a living, breathing betrayal that John Winchester could never forgive.

At twenty-two, Riley is one of the best hunters alive, forged in violence and fueled by rage. He's everything John's abuse created: brutal, reckless, and burning with an anger that never quite goes out.

He loves his brothers with a ferocity that terrifies him-Sam, his safe harbor, and Dean, his constant clash of loyalty and resentment. They fight more than they talk, bleed together more than they laugh, but beneath every argument and every punch is a love none of them know how to speak out loud.

Then there's Jo Harvelle-the girl who saw past his scars, the woman who loved him when he couldn't love himself. She's his anchor in the storm, the only person who makes him want to survive instead of just exist.

From hunting vengeful spirits to stopping the apocalypse. From watching his brothers die and come back broken, to facing God himself in a war for free will.

Riley Winchester's story is one of survival-choosing to live when death would be easier, choosing love when hate is all he's ever known, and proving that you can be your father's son without becoming your father's monster.
