Wolf

Caius leads the way, and soon the sounds of raucous laughter and gruff voices fill the air, pulling me further into the belly of this rogue haven. The moment we step into the clearing, the atmosphere shifts. The revelry fades into silence, and every eye turns to me. I can feel the weight of their stares—some curious, others hostile or indifferent.

I scan the crowd, recognizing a few faces from the last time I was here, their hardened features still etched in my memory. They’re the kind of rogues who look like they’ve swallowed nails and spit venom. Not exactly the warmest welcome. I scoff inwardly; this is the family Caius has built, and the bond they share is as rough as their exterior.

Caius claps me on the back, his grip firm and possessive. “Come on, boy, let’s get you a drink! We have much to celebrate tonight,” he says, his voice booming with enthusiasm. If he only knew the real reason I’m here, I’d be strung up like a trophy kill before I could even explain.

    WOLFSparring practice? Are you fucking kidding me? Groaning, I scrub a hand over my face, unwilling to open my eyes as another loud bang reverberates against the door.By the third or fourth bang, I’m pretty sure the door will come right off its hinges. Take a hint, old man. Just fucking leave me alone.I bury my head deeper under the pillow, hoping he’ll take the hint and back off. The man is relentless.“Get up, Wolf! Either you open this door, or I’ll break the goddamn thing down!” Caius’s growl slices through my hazy mind, and while it should have me leaping out of bed, I can barely lift my head from the pillow.I groan again, pinching my eyes shut against the persistent pounding in my skull. The effects of that wolfsbane cocktail from last night have me convinced that Caius was bullshitting about the drink being harmless. I can’t shake the feeling that he slipped something else in there too—something that’s left me feeling like roadkill.Shifters are capable of three things: supe

  • I am Wolf   Chapter Twelve

    Wolf I haven’t left my room; the events from earlier this morning are still far too fresh in the back of my head. I bit into Mason like it was nothing. I could have really hurt her, and I guess the guilt is pissing me off even more because she came at me in true Mason fashion. Eventually, my wolf got pissed off and retaliated. And then there’s what happened with Damien; my wolf wanted to rip him apart, and I mean that fucking literally. I could have ended his existence then; the raw carnal thirst behind the action felt so right. I am a rogue just like Damien, so why, in that instance, did it feel like there was something more inside me when I had him pinned down? The dominating force of power that rippled through my body was about to explode through me at that moment. Flexing the muscles in my arms as I make a fist, my brows furrow as I lay studying the skin like it holds some goddam secret. Swallowing hard, I scoff at how pathetic that sounds before running my fingers through my

    WolfThe moment the bandaging drops, I freeze, my eyes locking onto the mirror. My reflection doesn’t make any sense. Blinking hard, I lean in closer, furrowing my brows as my jaw slackens. Am I hallucinating? I fell asleep bruised, battered, and with a few cracked ribs. But now… I can’t tear my eyes away. My abs are ripped beyond recognition, my biceps massive, and I have to do a double take. Have I grown taller? I’ve always been lean, strong, but this? This is something else entirely. I’m not imagining it—I’ve gained at least two or three inches overnight. That’s impossible. I stopped growing at eighteen, two years ago, just like any other rogue. We either fill out or stay scrawny, depending on our wolves. But this transformation is unreal. My body has changed on a scale I’ve never heard of. My mind races, still hung up on Sasha’s frantic phone call last night. The energy coursing through me is wild, electric, surging through every muscle like a storm barely contained b

  • I am Wolf   Chapter Fifteen

    WolfFive days. That’s all I have. Five days until everything Sasha knows will be ripped from her, and all hell breaks loose under the full moon—when Caius plans to mark her, to use her for whatever dark purpose he has in mind. I’ve spent every waking hour out in the forest, running, training—alone. I refuse to train with Caius’s rogues. Hell no. My wolf snarls at the thought of them, as restless as I am, clawing at my insides, demanding freedom. But I can’t give in to him. Not yet. He’s trapped, just like me, and the worst part is, he wants to take me back to Erebus, back to Sasha. No matter how far I run, I always end up near the Erebus pack lands, and every time, I have to force myself to turn back. I can’t give in to the pull, no matter how much it hurts. Both of us—me and my wolf—we’re losing our minds. His instincts scream to protect what’s his, and Sasha is our mate. But I’m torn between duty and desire, between what I have to do and what I should do. If it weren’

  • I am Wolf   Chapter Sixteen

    WolfI can’t think straight. As roughly twenty-four rogues pile into two black commercial vans parked near the mine shaft entrance, my eyes narrow as I watch them with a bitter taste in my mouth. If they touch a hair on Sasha’s head, any of these fuckers, I’ll rip their heads off. That’s a promise. Caius sent another group of mutts ahead on foot; he says it’s just precautions in case Fenris tries something, but I’m not so sure. We’re meant to get in, capture Sasha, and get out, but by the level of carnal excitement splitting through the air, it’s clear that there’s something else going on here. The mutts seem way too fucking eager for something to happen, and it has my wolf on edge; the itchy feeling under my skin has me wanting to tear into them as I stand here. It’s taking some serious fucking self-control not to. Mason stands beside me, and she’s staring out in the same direction as I am at the mutts as they drive away. I’m not paying any attention to her, so when she murmurs,

  • I am Wolf   Chapter Seventeen

    WOLF Everything falls silent on the drive back to the mine shaft. Sasha is in my arms, securely held against my chest, and my wolf is basically purring, a soft, gentle rumble vibrating against her body. But I can't fully enjoy the sensation, not after what happened back there; the heavy darkness that's blanketing this moment of happiness in shrowded hollow ecstasy cuts like a knife to my soul.Sasha is still out cold, and I suppose I should feel relieved because once she wakes up, everything will change. Descending into the mine shaft after we arrive back, Mason keeps giving me this weird look, but I don't pay her any attention. I have Sasha tightly gripped in my arms, holding her soaked form to mine like a child, her eyes are still closed, but I know she isn't asleep; I felt the moment she came too back when I got out of the tuck. Besides, I'm her mate; she can't fool me. The moment I get to the door of my room, I freeze in my tracks, having both Caius and Mason stop a few feet sho

  • I am Wolf   Chapter Eighteen

    WOLF I'm sitting on the floor with my back against the wall, staring at her. I haven't been able to take my eyes off her while she lies sleeping in my bed; I'm afraid she'll be gone if I close my eyes and wake up. The reality of just how much this girl means in my life is only now starting to hit me, and it's the most terrifying thing I've ever had to come to grips with. To be falling this deeply isn't something I've ever experienced before. It has my chest tightening and contracting in response, wondering how someone like me is meant to give someone like her the world; that's what she deserves, nothing less. My mind keeps racing; how do I get her out of here and away from Caius? The moment I felt her pain, it changed everything; the tangible connection I felt between us still has me wholly spellbound even now. She reached inside my head and connected with a part of what I had lost so long ago, holding my pain in her hand and exposing it for what it has always been... abandon

  • I am Wolf   Epilogue

    WOLF My body feels heavy as I drag it towards the flaming bonfire; this whole week has been brutal, and my muscles are still aching. Looking down at Damien as he sits with his back against a heavy log, I can’t help but smirk, “You look like shit, you know that?” Looking up at me, he rolls his eyes as he scoffs, “Fuck you; you made me do way more than you, and you know it.” Letting out a low chuckle, I go to take a cold beer from the cooler box right beside him before coming to rest my tired body on the ground beside him, resting against the heavy log behind me; I let out a deep sigh. “You know tomorrow we've gotta start bolting all that shit together, right?” Taking a swig from my beer while looking aimlessly at the flames licking the cool air. Damien’s head slowly turns as he scowls at me, and I swear the chuckle rumbling from my chest nearly sends the bubbles from the beer in my mouth right up my nose. Damien packs up, laughing as he shakes his head at me, “Tell me again why we

    WOLF “Please stay.” My whisper hangs in the air, her sleeping form so peaceful right beside me. This is how it’s meant to be, so how can I just let her go? I haven’t been able to sleep, so I feel like crap. Ever hated the moment the sun came up in the morning? Me neither, that was until today, because today marks the last morning I’ll wake up next to her for... Fuck, I don’t even want to go there right now. I need to stop kidding myself by being hopeful that she’ll only be gone for a day; I have this gut-wrenching feeling that it’s not going to be that easy. Gently running the pad of my thumb over her cheek, she’s out cold, and I don’t blame her. After our hot fuck session in the shower last night, we ended up moving on to the bed, and well, let’s just say neither one of us got much sleep from that point onward. By the time she finally passed out from exhaustion, I should have probably done the same. Our bodies were completely saturated, and I could tell she was sore. But I just co

    WOLF By the time we get back to Erebus. The red and orange, purple color palate cascades down to the rim of the horizon, and suddenly, all those colors seem to take on an even deeper kind of beauty than before. I'm still busy trying to wrap my mind around the mind-blowing sex we just had up at that lookout point, the rock formation ledge overlooking the entire Sitka and Erebus. Fucking Sasha up on that ledge was mind-altering, the entire Sitka and Erebus far down below as I pumped my dick into her, over and over again, as she lay sprawled out with her legs wrapped around my waist. My spine is still tingling all the way to my dick just thinking about it. Her hand is in mine, our fingers laced as we make our way out towards the back of Erebus and towards the flaming bonfire. We're immediately met with a lot of people I don't know; Erebus pack, I know that much off the cuff. A huge bonfire near the center of the property, logs, and people casually seated around it as the high flames li

    SASHAWatching Wolf get on his bike and speed off, I suddenly feel my entire world begin to crumble into dust all around me, the loss of his presence instantly crippling me, and I'm suddenly battling to breathe.I’m about to break apart; I can feel it as my heart shatters. He left; he just left me. The dam wall inside of me is about to burst. I can’t hold it in any longer, spinning around. My eyes are shimmering with tears as they connect with Atlas. He’s standing a distance away from me, his jaw clenched, brows furrowed as he watches me warily, concern sketched across his features. The moment I think that he might actually care, he turns on his heel and disappears back into the cold room before shutting the door.The moment I start to hyperventilate, I suddenly feel a hand wrap itself around my wrist and begin to pull me towards the pack house's front door; it’s Edith.“Come, my child, let’s get you inside.” My feet are moving, but I can't feel anything; the only thing running throug

    WOLF I'm following behind Sasha, every step towards the outdoor cold room seems to have my beast on edge even more. The last thing I want is to have Captain douche bag anywhere near her, even more now that I know what I know. He's her... Fuck, I can't even bring myself to think it let alone say it. The only thing going through my mind right now is that she just needs to talk to him; he's leaving, he's fucking leaving tomorrow, and I'll never have to see his ugly mug again. Honestly, it's not doing anything to calm my beast right now, but at least it will stop me from ripping him apart, for now, until he leaves and goes back to whatever hell hole he crawled out of. Good fucking riddance. The moment Sasha stopped, I suddenly looked up; I hadn't even noticed that we were already right in front of the cold room door. It's a big outdoor room where they keep all their meat, it's pretty cold in there, hence why they put the body of the other white lighter in there. My hands are tucked in

  • I am Wolf   Chapter Thirty - Nine

    SASHABy the time we get back to Erebus, I’m still riding on a complete high. Wolf took us all the way up the forest climb to Cross Mountain, the early signs of winter already hanging on the tree tops and slicing through the air like ice. I have a feeling it’s going to be a cold winter this year; I guess it’s lucky that we’re wolves and don’t really feel the cold like normal humans do.Being on the back of the bike with Wolf makes me feel carefree inside, like I’m just a young girl going for a ride with her boyfriend up the mountain. Like I don’t have a care in the world, almost like everything that happened last night never happened, well, almost.The moment we drive through the gates of Erebus, however, everything changes. I’m still walking hand in hand with Wolf as we make our way up to the front door when I suddenly spot Atlas coming storming out of the pack house. My eyes widen, and my chest immediately tightens; my first reaction is that he’s coming straight for me. By the force

    WOLFShe isn't up in her room, I've checked, fuck. The little meeting outside with Atlas went on longer than I would have liked. She was in her room, and I picked up her scent, so where the hell did she go?I've checked everywhere downstairs, but still nothing, now the panic is setting in. I'm heading for the front door of the pack house when I suddenly hear someone call my name. Swinging around, I'm met with Edith popping her head out of the kitchen,"Wolf, would you mind helping an old lady with something in here?" I'm about to say no, I'm looking for Sasha. But then I decide against it; I don't want to seem rude, even if I'm really desperate for my mate.I hurry into the kitchen to find her standing right in front of the kitchen island. The smell hits me, and my stomach instantly does a backflip."What's that smell?" It's so sweet, warm, and unlike anything I've ever smelt before. The moment my eyes land on what's on the table, I blink, "Are those...?""Cookies, yes, they are. Just

I grumble.Closing my eyes for just a minute, I try and steady my breathing..."Wolf, hey man, did you hear a word I just said?" Looking up at Damien standing on the other side of this goddam force field, I suddenly hear a swooshing sound in my ears; it's getting louder and louder.I'm about to open my mouth to say something to him when I'm suddenly struck with a scorching sharp pain that shoots right through my chest; gasping for air, I suddenly can't breathe, fuck, the dog tag, fuck. I'm grabbing at my chest the moment I realize I'm not wearing it; that's when I remember that witch telling me to take it off and place it on the ground.My eyes frantically start searching the soil below my feet; all the while, I'm starting to see little black spots forming before my eyes.

    ATLAS The moment I see Kris go down and the rogue go for his jugular, I instantly lose my mind, screaming out his name. I can barely think straight. I leap towards him without even thinking, how the fuck, where did this rogue come from. My mind races as I lunge forward to rip the wolf from him. The moment I hear his guttural scream that is followed by silence, I know it’s over before the wolf even gets off of him. The instant gut-wrenching rage that starts to flow instantly has me unleashing a vice grip of my power around the rogue; without even blinking, my arms suddenly swing out to either side of my body, the rogue’s body instantly being ripped into two, landing far away in opposite directions from me as I launch his severed corpse body through the air. My eyes instantly land on Kris, and my body goes numb. I’m suddenly to my knees beside him, his silent form, the blood. Fuck!
