Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 18: The Shift
One by one, everyone begins to shift to their wolves; smooth furs begin to emerge with effortless grace. I watch the beautiful display in awe. No matter how many times I see wolves shift, it will always be magical. To be a wolf is to carry an element of magic in you, but my heart pounds heavily as I see them all watch me expectantly. Talia is different now. I feel it, and I wonder if that change will be obvious to them. Will they know that I am different when they see my wolf? “Let’s do this, Phoenix.” My wolf, Talia, whispered in my mind again. The sound of her voice is soothing, but I couldn’t miss the power it holds.The change started; my body trembled as I begin to shift into my wolf form. Fur replacing skin, and my limbs reforming until they were standing on four paws. I hear close gasps as my shift is happening. I anticipated their shock. Talia emerges in her full glory, a golden wolf, shining uncontrollably under the full moonlight. First came the gasp, then murmurs fill the

My body burned from the inside out as if I were engulfed in fire. I hear Mira scream from what sounds like a distance as she races to my curled-up and trembling form. “Phoenix! What happened to you?" She exclaimed, crashing beside me quickly. Her hands feel warm against my now-damp skin. I'm nearly passed out, but I can hear her subconsciously.“Hang on, I’m calling for help.”I was half conscious when Mira’s voice sounded near again; her voice had an urgent tone to it, heavy footsteps, and then the sensation of being carried. “She’s burning up badly.” I hear another familiar voice. “This is no ordinary fever.”“Let’s get her to the healer’s cottage,” Talon’s familiar voice ordered. His mouthwatering smell nearly consumed me. His voice is calm, but I could sense the tension radiating from it. Hours later, I wake up in a cool, dark room. I feel better than earlier; the fever had lessened, but my body still feels heavy, like I was wrestling with an invisible weight. I could hear vo

Talia tries to force her way out and take control. Ordinarily, with all I have been through today, I should be too weak to fight her, but I cannot afford to embarrass myself with Talon as I fight. Talia begins to connect with his wolf as Talon rages, ”Talia, please.” I pleaded in my mind with my wolf to stop the bonding. Hosea and Mira exchanged glances, and as if on cue, Mira left the room after gazing between the three of us. Hosea stays, and I feel grateful. “Talon, you have to calm down,” Hosea whispered.But Talon is frozen and looking pale, staring at me like he’s just seen a ghost. He points at me and asks Hosea in a shocked whisper, “Why can I hear her already? Why is her wolf speaking to mine? We are not bonded! This shouldn’t be happening!” He yells the last sentences.Well, she’s a pack member now; she is bonded with the pack, which means she is bonded with you one way or another, so whether you like it or not, the bonding process has started. “This is what I was avoidi

It’s been 2 weeks, and Talon and I have done a very good job avoiding each other. I’m more convinced now that deciding to stay in the packhouse is necessary for my sanity. It's the only way I can truly find my balance and take ownership of my life. If I have to control the power inside me and not be consumed by it, I need to find a way to live, not just exist. I took my first step to living and began my search for a job. I wanted something human and normal, so I went beyond the walls of the house. I wanted to do normal things and forget about the whole burden that came with bearing the same fate as Talon.Here I am now, behind the counter at Grind and Sip. A small coffee shop on the outskirts of town, Main Street, not too far from the pack house. The shop isn’t glamorous, but I enjoy the rhythmic hum of the espresso machine, I love to hear customers chatting away, and the satisfaction I feel when I make the perfect latte for someone. Working here has kept my mind busy and focused, an

It was a long shift for me today at the coffee shop. I want nothing more than to collapse in bed and give in to fatigue. Unfortunately for me, Talia had other plans.“Hey, Phoenix. We need to go back into town." Talia said, her voice interrupting my dreamy thoughts as I locked up the coffee shop. “What do you mean, back into town, for what?” I groaned. “Talia, please, I’m tired. Let’s just go home.”“This can’t wait. I’m curious to know what the people have been up to since we saw that headline. The rumors must have spread far and wide. We need to get information.”I sigh deeply, pushing the keys into my bag. “Fine. But let’s be quick about it; I’m curiously curious too.”And with that, we went straight into town. The town is alive with its usual bustle and hustle. People scattered around the streets, laughing and chatting, the soft glow of streetlights reflecting off cobblestone paths. I pull my hoodies tight around me, trying to blend in with the crowd. “Talia. What’s the plan?” I

“I fear there is more to come. What if there are more hunters out there for me?” I ask Talia, my voice visibly still shaking from the incident. “We’ll face whatever it is together, Phoenix,” Talia whispers to me as I sit in my room recounting the attack I just had. They had come out to hunt down werewolves, hoping to capture the golden wolf. “Run!” Talia had ordered, but as I turned to flee, one of the men grabbed my arm. Fortunately, my wolf instinct twisted out of his grip, landing a kick to his stomach, which sent him stumbling back.“A feisty one,” the man said, smirking.Before he made his next move, I shifted mid-step, allowing Talia to take full control. My wolf exploded into her full form, golden fur shimmering under the faint moonlight. My golden fur shimmering under the faint moonlight. The hunters hesitated in their comeback, obviously shocked at the sight before them. But it’s just a fleeting emotion, as one of them raised a crossbow, aiming straight at me. “Move!” Tal

I had just returned from work; I barely close late these days because I’m being cautious. That evening, Hosea came to me. “Phoenix, I want you to come have dinner with us at my cottage tonight,” she said. “Dinner?” I say, the hesitation in my tone is very obvious. “Yes, choosing to stay in the packhouse doesn’t mean you don’t have access to the lair. And Mira is coming too.” She adds. I’m grateful for that piece of information because, after the last time I had a sizzling eye contest with Talon, I’ve avoided him like a plague. I sigh. “Fine. I’ll come, but only because I trust you and Mira.”“That’s good.” She says, tapping softly on my shoulder. As I get ready for dinner at the Hosea's, I think about how much I hesitated. It’s a simple invitation, but the thought of it made my chest knot. It wasn't Mira or Hosea that made me hesitate. It is Talon.I get dressed quickly, shoving my thoughts to the side as I walk to the cottage. My boots crunching softly against the forest path. I

TalonI stand at the edge of the clearing, my eyes scanning the horizon, where it’s been reported that the Blackfang scouts had disappeared moments before. I can already smell their foreign stench as it lingers in the crisp night air, a mix of wet earth and malice. Fools. They had the nerve to come into my territory, sniffing around for information like parasites. My presence chased them off before I even came into view. They were few and had not been here to fight. They were here to gather information; rumors have gone out about the golden wolf. The whispers are spreading and drawing the attention that I did not need. I don’t need that for my pack either. As I thought about this, tension rose up in my chest as I turned towards the path to the pack house. This is a distraction, and it’s a dangerous one. The pack does not know yet how vulnerable it has made us. A golden wolf on our land is an obvious target on all our backs. Then I saw her. She is standing just beyond the tree line

Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 94: A Destiny Fulfillment
PHOENIXI stood hand in hand with Talon, our fingers intertwined as we watch our daughter, Daciana, race across the howling ground, her laughter ringing through the crisp morning air. The sun bathing the clearing in golden light, illuminating the pack members sparring nearby. Strength and unity coursing through the pack, a testament to all we have fought to restore.A warm breeze rustles the trees as Mira and Hosea approach, their expressions filled with mischief. “You two went ahead and recreated yourselves.” Mira teased, nudging me with a grin. I chuckle, my golden eyes shining with warmth and satisfaction. “She certainly has her father’s stubbornness.” “And her mother’s fire,” Talon adds, squeezing hand. Hosea folds her arms, watching the pup play. “I Keep thinking back to how it all began to unfold. How close we came to losing everything. Although, I always knew deep down that as long as the bond stays, restoration was sure.” I couldn’t help but exhale as memories came rushi

PHOENIX “Ahh ahh.. I knew you would come back, you can’t run away from your home.” Dylan sneers. I stepped forward, my gaze unwavering. “And this time, I’ve come to put an end to you.”Dylan laughed, his voice dripping with malice. “With which strength? Your power as the golden wolf can’t challenge the one I’ve acquired. Seeing that you were too stubborn to be my mate, I had to step up and be more. You are a fool, Phoenix.”Talon stepped beside me, my power radiating from within. “She is not alone.” He said.Dylan’s smile faltered.My shoulders squared. “Let’s finish this, Alpha Talon,” I say looking at Talon with renewed hope and strength. My pulse thundered as I felt his rage. Let the battle begin.My heart pounded as Talon and I raced toward Dylan, the weight of our purpose pressing upon me like never before. The meeting with the divine being in the sacred region had shown me to the core. The choice she made was absolute, she would fight without intervention and she would do it

TALONMy mind reeled at the creature’s words, Birthright? I turned to Phoenix, expecting to see the confusion on her face but she looked calm instead.She knows.“Phoenix?” I ask, my voice steady but edged with uncertainty. She looked at me, her golden eyes shining under the ethereal glow of the sacred region. “I knew I was different Talon. Everyone including Hosea said so but what I didn’t know is to extent to which I must wield this power…until now.”The massive golden wolf before us, the divine being tilts its head, watching me closely. Then, it spoke again. “You have come to restore what is lost. To reclaim what has been tainted. Moonston’s veil was once an unbreakable force, a shield that protected the territory and your pack. But an evil force has stepped into its heart, and it weakened it from within.”Cain.Dylan.I clench my fists. Those bastards has been working against us all along and now it is clear, Cain invited darkness into Moonsyone, allowing our enemies to breach t
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 91: The journey to the Sacred Land
The weight of responsibility pressed down on my chest as I and Talon stood before the remnants of Silvercrest. The decision has been made, we have to leave. There is no other way to save what is left of our world. The surviving pack members gather around, their eyes full of worry and grief. Many of them are injured, some barely able to stand. Among them are my stepmother and Lucia, they’ve been through so much these past few days.I turn to her, gently squeezing her hand. “I swear to you, we will come back. This will always be my home.”Lucia who looks exhausted from catering from the injured pack, nod weakly. “We will be here waiting.”Talon surveyed the crowd. “You will be safe here. We are taking you to a place where you will be protected against any more of Dylan’s revengeful attacks.”A few wolves exchange glances, uncertain but trusting this Alpha.We will take them to the Ironclaw pack territory, we had built a relationship with at this point, they have become family.

Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 90: The Price of Power
PHOENIXI feel weightless as if I am drifting between reality and something far beyond my understanding. I am neither awake nor asleep, I simply exist in a vast, endless void.Then, a voice echoed through the emptiness. “You have come far, but your journey is not yet over.” I turned, searching for the source of the voice but all I see is swirling golden mist. It looks familiar, just like the first time I was cast out of Silvercrest. That night, when I had first heard the whispers that led me to the north region of Shadowpine. That night when my life took a rapid turn. My pulse immediately quickened as the mist condensed, forming into a shape, a towering, ethereal figure with eyes that glow like molten gold. The presence radiating power, ancient and overwhelming, but strangely soothing at the same time. I swallowed, forcing myself to speak. “Who are you?” The being tilts its head, amusement flickering in its luminous gaze. “The same one who guided you once. The one who marked you

PHOENIXThe night air is thick with tension, and I can feel Talia, pacing restlyly with. Her fury burn out, nearly uncontrollable, as I and Talon before Cain, who now has control over moonstone territory. The pack house is silent, an eerie kind of silence that signifies fear and oppression. I clench my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I watch the man who has once stood beside Talon as Beta, stand against him.Everything in me screams to lunge, to rip Cain apart for his betrayal, for his smug expression, for the way he has turned our people into hostages. But I can't, not with Mira and Hosea being held hostage too. My heart pounds in my chest as Cain turns his back on Talon, issuing orders to these strange wolves. He has locked us out, barring us from the very home we have fought so hard to protect. I can feel Talon’s pain. His fists are already clenched so tightly that his knuckles turn white, his body taut with withheld rage. But what is most painful is the heartbreak I see

The moment those words flew out to his mouth, two of the enforcers surged forward, their movements precise and well-trained.I feel my fury explode like wildfire. A guttural growl ripped from my throat, my wolf straining against the surface. I take a step forward, my muscles coiling.But a firm hand shootout, grabbing my wrist.Hosea.I turn, confusion flashing in my gaze as she holds me back. I looked into her eyes that are devoid of fear, all I see is an unwavering resolve.“No!” she says, her voice low but commanding. “Not this way”My chest heaves, and my nostrils flare as I struggle to rein myself in. “Hosea, he can't —” “I know, I know Talon,” she says, cutting me off gently, her gaze never leaving mine. “But Listen to me.” “You look just like him,” Hosea whispers as she turns to face Cain.Cain tilts his head. “Like who?”“Your grandfather.” Hosea’s voice wavers as she takes a step closer. “The one who tried to claim Moonstone as his own. The one who had tried to betray his
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 87: The Betrayal
TALONI stepped through the broken threshold of the Moonstone packhouse, at this point every nerve in me was on edge. Phoenix is standing at my side, her golden eyes scanning the eerie silence of what is supposed to be our home. Behind us, Hosea, Mira, and the enforcers follow, their steps cautious, their senses alert. The territory feels hollow the moment we cross into it. The absence of the veil, the mystical barrier that has once kept the pack hidden and protected is unsettling. It is as if the very soul of Moonstone has been stripped away, leaving us exposed and vulnerable. “Something is wrong,” Phoenix whispers, gripping my forearm. I nodded, my jaw tightening as we entered the main hall. The air is thick with an unnatural stillness. No sounds of wolves moving through the corridors, no scent of heartfires burning. It’s all just silence here. Then, at the center of the house, standing as if he has been waiting, is Cain. My breath left me in a slow, controlled exhale. Cain sto

TALONI sit up suddenly, my face hardening as my eyes focus on something unseen. Phoenix stirs next to me, sending a shift in my demeanor. “What’s wrong Talon?” She asks softly.My eyes meet hers, full with a sharpness that speaks of urgency. “Something is wrong at Moonstone. I can see it and I feel it strongly.” In a split second, my eyes flash a deep amber, and Lucas, store restlessly. Phoenix's breath caught as she also realized what was happening?, it’s a signal…we need to return.” “We need to leave now,” I say in a low growl.With no time wasted, I Leap to my feet, Set with determination, I can sense Phoenix’s heart lurching. We have just found ourselves again, and now we are sensing yet another battle. This stand, we will stand by each other's side, no matter what and so we bid our farewells and set out on our journey together with Hosea and Mira. The wind howled through the trees, carrying the scent of pine and the dampness of the wilds. My heart thuds painfully in my chest
