CHAPTER 1: Disgrace
Last Updated:
2024-11-08 01:53:26The smell hit me strongly and it was the first thing I noticed.
An unfamiliar scent of sweat and Alcohol, strong and it clinged to my skin. My wolf inside stirred uneasily as I blinked. The room spinned, my head ached like It’s been hit on the rock.
Where am I?
I sat up as quickly, observing my surroundings. A dark hotel room. Unclean carpet. The wallpaper on the wall peeled in wet strips. I am tangled around bed sheets that smelt more than just my sweat. I panicked and realization set in.
I was naked.
“What is__” I whispered, holding the sheet tightly around my chest. My heart raced and the sounds filled my ears as I tried to think about how I got here. I searched my memories but ended with foggy details. last thing hanging in my memory was me, drinking at the club, a celebratory final night of freedom before my mating ceremony, which is two days from now.
Two days? My stomach twisted.
Before I could figure out my thoughts, the door to the room burst open with a loud bang. My heart fell into my throat as Dylan stormed in, his eyes blazing with fury.
“What the hell did you do, Phoenix?” The rage in his voice cut through the confusion that darkened my mind.
“I…I” I tried to speak but my voice cracked. “What’s happening? I have no idea how I got here.”
“You have no idea?!” Dylan burst out in bitter laughter. “Of course you wouldn’t.”
My pulse rose as he moved closer to me, each step made me more frightened. He leaned over where I sat and held the sheets. “Dylan, I swear I don’t know...what happened?” I said with fear in my voice.
“What happened?” His voice rose with rage. “No, tell me, Oh, you think I can’t smell him? Do you really think I don’t know what you did, Phoenix?”
My stomach shunned in confusion. “Smell who? Dylan, I’m confused, I don’t understand what you are saying.”
“I can smell it, you reek of another wolf!” He said with shouts that echoed in the small room, making me flinch. “I did the minute I walked in here. Phoenix, how could you? You've ruined everything, Everything.”
Chills run down my spine as I tried to process what he just said. Another wolf?. I wasn’t with anyone, at least I hadn’t been with anyone up until this moment. I would never—
“Dylan, please believe me. I didn’t…” I whispered in disbelief. “ I’m telling the truth, I didn’t do anything I swear.”
Dylan looked at me in disgust. “Don’t you dare lie to me. You’ve been with another Wolf, Phoenix. You are so disgusting. You’ve disgraced your pack. Do you realize the implications of what you have done?
His words hit me like a blow. Disgraced? My mind took many turns, whirling through trying to process this accusation. No way this is happening. I’m confused that I can’t remember anything, and yet… the scents on the sheets didn’t lie. A strange and very unfamiliar scent.
I’m finished.
“I really don’t know,” I said. I didn’t….
“You didn’t do what?!” Dylan roared, cutting me off. “You didn’t betray me? You didn’t betray the packs? The alliance is over, Phoenix. It’s off, the mating ceremony can’t happen. There’s no way i’ll ever take you as my mate now.”
The room spun and I felt like I was drowning inside. “No!’ I whispered, shaking my head. “Dylan please, I didn’t do anything. I promise…I don’t remember anything…Please.”
“I don’t care, I don’t freaking care if you remember anything or not!” His voice was icy and laced with venom. “You’ve ruined everything. Do know what this will do…what it will do to the Silvercrest Pack? Your father will be left with no choice but to exile you. You are nothing but a rogue now.”
Exiled…The word hit me in my gut like a punch. “You can’t be serious. My Father will never do that…”
“Your father will do that and more, he will throw you out like the disgrace you are, That’s the only way i will be placeted ” Dylan snapped at me. Do you think he will save you after what you’ve done? Don’t be silly. He will do no such thing, not after you’ve disgraced the entire pack.”
Tears gathered and stung my eyes. This couldn’t be happening to me. This wasn’t real. I wouldn’t do any of this deliberately, I wouldn't betray anyone willifully. I am not a Villain, I am the daughter of an Alpha and I am supposed to be Luna.
“Phoenix, you are certainly finished,” Dylan hissed. “I will expose you, I’ll make sure everyone knows what you did.”
“No.... No! Dylan please, I begged in desperation.
“Please don’t do this to me. I promise… I don’t know what happened…”
“Stop!! That’s enough!” He grabbed my arm, his hands were tight around mine as he pulled me off the bed.
“Get dressed now,” he ordered, his face close to mine. “I’m taking you to the pack now.”
My heart pounded heavily. “Dylan, please wait…”
“Shut it, Get dressed now or i’ll drag you out naked!” his eyes were furious. “You’re done, Phoenix. You have done what you did and you have to pay,”
My heart was beating uncontrollably, none of this makes sense. I try to think back to the last 24 hours but my mind is hazy, i cannot remember how i ended up here. Was i drugged?
I looked at Dylan, with pleading eyes. “Dylan, please, give me a chance to explain…”
“You have absolutely nothing to explain, I caught you red handed,” he said. “Get dressed now”.
His grip loosened a bit and enough for me to get my clothes on. My hands trembled with fear as I dressed quickly. This feels like a nightmare.
Dylan kept his eyes on me as I got dressed, he was judging me. His hatred was visible through his eyes.
As I picked up my boots, lacing them, my mind raced for answers. I have to remember anything, something. How did this happen? What brought me here? Who is the wolf that did this to me?
But nothing came, no memories.
Dylan gripped my arms again with his hand, dragging me towards the door. My feet barely touching the floor, and panic rose in my insides.
“Dylan, please,” I begged in a desperate plea.
Just as we approached the threshold, a sharp knock reverberated through the room.
Dylan froze, his hand still gripped my arms
“What the hell?”
The door flung open, and a man stepped in. He is tall, dark and his eyes are cold and calculating, he had a stale metallic smell to him that made me want to throw up. A rogue.
My breath hitched and my blood ran cold.
“Leaving so soon and without me,? The mystery man said, locking eyes with mine.
My heart froze, I couldn’t breathe. Who was this man? I couldn’t tell but one thing is sure, I could smell him on the sheet and he has the key to the answers I needed and this nightmare is not ending soon.

Dylan’s grip on me tightened. “Who the hell are you?” He growled at the rogue The man leaned gently against the doorframe, casually folding his arms like he wasn’t involved in this. His eyes rested over me, and lingered for too long, I felt exposed. “Don’t you recognize me?” His voice was smooth and had a hint of amusement.Cold sweat break through out my body as my pulse quickened in fright. “Recognise you? I’ve never met you.,” I said , my voice shaking.“Oh really?” He said with raised brows. “Is that the game we are playing now? Because last night, you sang a different song when you begged me to give it to you hard.”Dylan froze. “What the hell are you saying?”The man smirked harder as he shrugged and continued. “You followed from the bar, threw yourself at me when I was minding my business on my own. She said she needed a real wolf, not her loser of an arranged mate, she needed one last nasty shag before she’s bonded forever ma His gaze fell on me and, my stomach churned. “Does

The car had barely come to a stop when Dylan ripped open the door, he pulled me out forcefully. I stumbled and almost fell down, but his grip held me tight, dragging me towards the pack house. “Dylan, please stop!” I beg, trying to pull free, but he was relentless , he pulled me harder and his face was a picture of rage.We get to the pack house, he yanks it open without a single warning and storms inside the house. Pack members were in and scattered out of his way as he continued to pull me through the hall. I feel like I was some criminal that was caught in the act, and this was so embarrassing for me.“Dylan, please. Stop, you are hurting me,” I plead in a whisper, shame and terror filled me inside. My mind ran several miles trying to make sense of everything, and thinking of a way to stop this, but i can’t come up with anything. Dylan didn’t stop until he got to my father’s office, he barged in and slammed the door so hard it hit the wall with a force. My father’s startled eye

I feel cold water splash on my face, jolting me awake. My eyes flew open in shock and the face that greet me is one I barely want to see.“Get up, you filthy whore,” my stepmother spit out, and the empty bucket drops on my head. Her eyes that are always hard on me were now filled with a poisonous glee. My half sister, Lucia, stood beside her with a smirk on her face, crossed arms watching me with disgust like I am some dirt.“So pathetic” Lucia said, her voice dripping with disgust. “Here’s your supplies, that should be enough for you” She said, nudging a small sack to my side with the toe of her boot. I sit up slowly even though my whole body ached badly from last night's event. I pick up the sack with my trembling hands. The sack is light weight and I wonder how many useful things it contained.“Are you really throwing me out?” my voice cracks. My eyes filled with tears as i desperately look from one to the other. “Are you deaf or aren’t you aware yet?” Lucia asked with a cruel

I’ve been wandering for days now, I am not even sure how much time has passed, lost in the endless shadows and trees that surround me. The forest became the only companion with me, the dark canopy above me kept me in my own silence. My wolf form feels more natural now more than ever, my senses have grown sharper and my instincts have heightened, but the ache I’ve felt in my bones since that day was hard to ignore. I was weak, my strength diminished by the hour because I am starving. Although the wounds I sustained from the brutal incident that led me into the forest has healed, thanks to my wolf’s abilities, but the emptiness in my heart could not be mended. I was indeed alone, and my heart breaks everytime I think about that fact. I paid attention to every noise around me, the snap of a twig or even the rustles of leaves but I was careful. I am staying in the thickest parts of the forest and needed to avoid any rogues or. enforcers guarding territorial boundaries. I really don’t ha

My paws pound vigorously against the forest floor as I keep running and running, lungs burn with each gulp of air intake. I have no idea how long it has been since I’ve started this journey to the north; whether it’s been days or weeks, I don’t know. The sun and moon indicate that days have come and gone, but I can’t keep count. I have barely slept, but that is a luxury i cannot afford now. The only times I stop is to hunt a few small creatures to keep me going and also to drink from icy streams when I see them to gather enough strength to keep running. A strange force in me kept guiding me and pushing me for more, my mind was firm and relentless. The force feels like an invisible string, pulling me to continue every time the thought of giving up comes. My left paw is still glowing, now faint but unmistakable. The moon and the sun at different times of the day looms above me, watching my every step as I keep running and pushing forward. My paws sinking into the damp and earthy groun

TalonI jolted awake, my heart racing heavily, as if someone had whispered to me. “She’s coming.”I don’t have to ask who. The voice is familiar; it’s the voice that has been haunting me for months. I hear it in my dreams, and it brings back the shadow of a woman glowing in golden light. Her presence in my dream is radiant, and it lingers in my mind much longer than I think, actively stirring something inside me. I don’t know. I know the vision holds a crucial meaning that is tied to my destiny, but I seek clarity. I have no idea what her name is or what her face looks like, but I do know she’s coming. And each time, the feeling weighs strongly on me. My life doesn't need any complications. I sit up rather hesitantly, trying to shake off the weight of the feeling. Even if I don’t know her yet, whoever she is, I feel a sense of responsibility towards her. I strongly feel the need to protect her and shield her. But I’m not ready for that; I’m not ready to face another challenge. not o

A comforting heat wraps me; it is soft and gives me warmth like sunlight after a mighty storm. Faint smells of herbs and poultices fill the room. It feels familiar, like the golden cottage I saw in my dream. I take a deep breath, letting the warmth envelop me. My fur feels damp and my breathing is shallow; I know my wolf feels it too, eager for more rest after weeks of being in complete controlMy wolf and I have been through a lot these past weeks, between being betrayed by my own pack, cast away as a rogue, the encounter with the strange woman and the golden cottage, and running tirelessly in the thick forest. I feel the exhaustion weighing strongly on me as exhaustion takes its toll on me. "You should shift back." Talon's voice comes low and soothing in my mind. I feel her longing to let go, to pass the reins to me. I started to shift back; it is happening slowly but gradually. My wolf is giving way to my human form as I lay there. Warmth tingles spread along my spine, and my bone

My eyes are glued to him. I am stunned the moment I open my eyes; it is as if I’m caught in a trance I don’t quite understand. His eyes—forest green—glint back at me as mine hold his deep and watchful eyes. Everything about him seems intense; his skin is glowy, creamy, latte-toned skin. His curls, which knot into locs, fall below his back. He has mesmerising facial features, his lips plump, his nose pointed and delicate, with piercings in the left nostril. He is perfect; I don’t know where to look first as I take in his beauty. He has a strong aura around him, exuding authority and strength. I gazed at him in admiration, his face a beautiful blend of ruggedness and beauty. His eyes sent fireworks lighting up in my head, like a spell. For a moment, I drowned myself in looking at his face. I felt a strong pull towards his energy when his gaze met mine.“Ours,” my wolf whispers, her voice coming as a faint marmot in the back of my mind. As I continue my admiration, a calm, strange, and u

Scents of roasted meat and toasted bread fill the air, mixed with the subtle tang of pine from the forest outside. The dining hall shines brightly as fire crackles in the hearth, casting flickering light across the majestic space. Moonstone pack had begun to settle back into their daily routine after the harrowing experience with the council of elders. Talon had managed to hold his anger in check for days, but it was growing more difficult with each passing moment. The peace they’ve been fighting hard to reclaim feels fragile, a thin layer of glass ready to shatter at any misstep. The buzz of recognition Phoenix is beginning to attract is both a gift and a burden. Packs from across Shadowpine have been sending messages of admiration and requests for the audience, all eager to see the fabled golden wolf, to experience the power they had only heard about in stories. Talon knew the power she wields is unmatched, a gift from the Moon Goddess herself, but with it comes danger. He had see

CAINBeta Cain is sitting in the darkened corner of his private chamber, the dim light from the single lantern casting long, flickering shadows across the stone walls. The Moonstone Pack had grown restless with their Alpha’s return and the unrelenting presence of his Luna. The chatter has picked up again, faint whispers, eager to tear at the fabric of their unity. Cain knows it is because of Phoenix, the golden wolf, the one who had brought back the aura of power that had been slipping through his fingers. He clenches his jaw, the muscles in his neck tightening. The pack members who had once listened to him, revered his voice now treat him as if he were a mere shadow of the man who once led them. It is all Phoenix’s fault. She brought Taon back, she brought a sense of purpose and strength back to the Moonstone pack, and she brought a threat, one Cain couldn’t ignore. He stands up and walks to the window, looking out over the moonlight forest that stretches out beyond the clearing. I

The fireplace crackled, and its orange glow cast jagged shadows on the walls, but it did little to help the chill that was sitting on her chest. Lucia is standing in the center of Dylan’s dimly lit liar, unspoken words and unmet expectations have made the air tense. Dylan is sitting in a carved chair, his eyes dark and guarded, a stark contrast to the man she loves.“Dylan,” she says, her voice low and steady, with a touch of desperation hidden beneath the surface, “we need to talk,”He doesn’t shift, and neither does he blink. A muscle twitched in his jaw, betraying the fight behind his composed mask. “I’m listening,” he says, his voice rough, clearly not pleased to see me. Lucia steps forward, the weight of the night pressing on her, urging her to confront Dylan. “I’m the one that has always been here, Dylan. From the moment Phoenix was banished to now, I’ve always been by your side. I’ve proven myself time and again.”Dylan’s eyes flicker to her for a fleeting moment before drif
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 50: Secrets and Sabotage
LUCIALucia paced the length of her quarters, her fury simmering just beneath the surface. Dylan had stormed off after her confession, leaving her standing in the dim moonlight like a fool. Her hands trembling as she grips the back of a chair, her mind replaying the argument with Dylan earlier. It’s always her. Phoenix, Phoenix.She bite her lip hard, the metallic taste of blood grounding her. She’s done everything for him, sacrificing more than anyone knows. And yet, he is ready to throw her aside like she means nothing, all for a woman who had ruined everything. Lucia’s gaze darkens as she let the memories wash over her, pulling her back to the night it all began. It was the eve of Phoenix’s mating ceremony with Dylan. The Silvercrest Pack was buzzing with excitement, the halls of the estate was filled with laughter, the scent of roasted meat, and the sound of glasses clinking. Phoenix, as radiant as ever, was the center of attention, her bright eyes lit up the room. I stood on

The Silvercrest Lair looms before me as I approach, it’s stone walls impose against the backdrop of a fading morning sky. This conversation with Alpha Roland isn’t one I wanted to have, but it is very necessary.When the guards usher me into the Alpha’s office, I square my shoulders and fix my expression into one of determination. Alpha Roland is sitting behind a massive oak desk, his piercing eyes as cold as I remember.“Dylan,” Roland greets, his voice clipped and formal. “To what do owe this unusual visit? I thought we finished our business a long time ago.”I incline my head respectfully, suppressing my irritation at the older wolf’s icy carriage. “Alpha Roland, I’m here to discuss Phoenix.”Roland’s expression hardens at the mention of her name. His fingers drum against the desk, his lips press into a thin line. “Phoenix is no longer a part of my pack. Whatever she’s done, or wherever she is now is none of my business.”“But it should be,” I press, stepping closer. “She’s the gol
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 48: The Weight of Power
DYLANDylan trudges through the dark woods, his footsteps heavy as he approaches the Raven Night Pack’s main compound. The moonlight barely penetrates the thick canopy above, casting shadows that mirror the storm brewing in his mind. Phoenix. The name keeps echoing in his head like a haunting melody. He clenched his fists, his jaw tight as he replayed the confrontation in the clearing. Seeing her again rattled him in ways he couldn’t admit, even to himself. When he crosses into the pack’s territory, a few guards nod respectfully, but he barely acknowledges them. His wolf is restless, pacing within him, its frustration mirroring his own. He made his way to his cabin at the edge of the compound, slamming the door shut behind him before collapsing into the leather armchair lying by the window. For a long moment, I sit in silence, staring into the darkness outside. Then the thoughts begin to spiral. “Phoenix. The golden wolf.”He scoffs under his breath, and a bitter smile tugs at his
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 47: Shadows of Past
TALONThe forest is alive with chaos, the sound of claws against claws and growls echo all around. Phoenix and I fight side by side, our wolves tearing through the enforcers with a ferocity that comes from sheer desperation.An enforcer lunges at me, teeth bared, but I sidestepped, slamming my fur into his chest and sending him sprawling into the underbrush. Another came at Phoenix, but her wolf moved like lightning, claws raking across his flank before she turned on the next attacker.Despite the intensity of the fight. I notice something, something feels off. These wolves aren’t trying to kill us, they are too calculated for that. Each strike seems designed to push us; to test our limits rather than harm us. “Phoenix!” I call out, dodging another swipe. “They are not trying to kill us. They are just testing us.”She doesn’t respond, too locked in her battle to acknowledge my observation. Her wolf gleams under the moonlight, every movement powerful and precise. But even she seems to
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 46: Golden Defiance
The burning heat of the poison coursed through me, leaving my body weak and trembling. Talia howls within, her voice distant but resolute. Every muscle screaming in protest, and for a moment, I thought this was it—that the Council had succeeded in their twisted plans to break me. But something begins to shift.The pain ebbs slowly, replaced by a soft, glowing warmth. It’s radiating from my core, and spreading outward like golden light, soothing the ache and extinguishing the venom in my veins. My wolf stirs, her strength returning in waves. The golden wolf, her power is fighting back, stronger than I’ve ever felt before. I gasp, and the taste of fresh air fills my lungs as clarity returns. Then a memory surfaced, Hosea’s voice ringing clear in my mind. “The power is unlike anything else. It can sense danger, Phoenix. It won’t let you fall easily, it will protect you, even from yourself.” She was right. My wolf’s power isn’t just a weapon. It is a shield, one that refuses to let me
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 45: An Escape
PHOENIX My eyes flutter open to darkness, the air around me cold and damp. I am lying on a hard surface—stone, rough and unyielding beneath my back. I try to move, but the clink of metals stops me, Chains. Heavy, cold chains wrap around my wrists and ankles, pinning me in place. Panic flares, but I force myself to breathe. I shift slightly, testing the bonds, but they don’t budge. Talia stirs weakly within me, her strength subdued by whatever dampening magic the Council had used.I scan my surroundings, my vision adjusting to the dim light filtering in from a single torch mounted on the wall. The cage is small and crude, its bars thick and unyielding. The air is heavy with the scent of rust and something acrid, like the residue of spells. Where is Talon?“Talon? Talon?” I call, my voice hoarse. The silence that followed made my heart clench, but then I heard it, a faint sound, a little distant but unmistakable.“Phoenix?” His voice is rough, but the relief in it is clear. “Talon!”
