Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 30: Threats
As we walk away from the border, the veil pulses faintly behind us, its presence a silent promise that it will stand strong as long as we do. And right there and now, I knew deep inside of me, that no matter whatever challenges lay ahead and whatever I’ve feared this long. I will do everything in my power to protect this land, the moonstone pack, and this woman walking beside me. “Does it ever feel suffocating?” Phoenix asks, her gaze fixed on the horizon.“What do you mean?” I ask“I mean, the border,” she says. “How does it feel to be surrounded by it? Knowing it’s there for a purpose.”I consider her words, my hands resting on my hips as I look out at the tree line. “It doesn’t feel suffocating at all. As a matter of fact, as Alpha, I’m grateful at the very least for the protection, not confinement. Without the veil, we’d be vulnerable to every threat that comes our way, like we witnessed the other day.”“I wonder, though?” She pressed. “What’s beyond the veil? What is the Moon Go

The journey to Shadowpine council’s enclave was filled with tension. Even if Lucas, my wolf, urged calmness, my instincts are on edge. The air seems heavier the closer I get to their territory, thick with the weight of the council authority. I should be going with the subject matter, Phoenix but I fear they will try their best to seize her. I need to face them alone. The council’s territory is starkly different from my own. It’s wolf and vibrant, the elder’s land is steep in an eerie stillness. Trees towered line the path, their branches entwine like skeletal fingers. The protective wards surrounding their enclave prick against my senses, warning of their power. I step into the chamber, a massive stone hall, lit up by flickering torches. The council members are sitting in a half-circle, their faces shadowed and unreadable. Their silence is a tactic, meant to unnerve, but I refuse to falter. “Here he is, the Alpha Talon,” Elder Marcellus greet, his voice a blend of authority and co

The 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 f

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

As we walk away from the border, the veil pulses faintly behind us, its presence a silent promise that it will stand strong as long as we do. And right there and now, I knew deep inside of me, that no matter whatever challenges lay ahead and whatever I’ve feared this long. I will do everything in my power to protect this land, the moonstone pack, and this woman walking beside me. “Does it ever feel suffocating?” Phoenix asks, her gaze fixed on the horizon.“What do you mean?” I ask“I mean, the border,” she says. “How does it feel to be surrounded by it?

“We’ve seen what stretching yourself leads to, Phoenix. You are powerful but not invulnerable too. The conversation continued as though we hadn’t just melted into each other eyes and listening in on our wolf rattle about their bond. “I know that too but I won’t hold back when there’s so much at stake.” She says with a soft expression, though the fire blazed softly in her eyes. Mornings pass with training drills and laughter; we’ve formed a bond between us. Phoenix moves sharply now, her strength returning in full force. Her wolf is always close beneath the surface, and I feel Lucas stir in response, a steady hum of approval in my mind. “Have you noticed the Alpha and the new golden girl? “They spend so much time together?” Another murmured. I begin to notice sideways glances and whispers flying from every corner.“They even train together. I think it’s more than that, is it? His eyes always burn for her.” Another murmured. whispers“They are talking about us.” Phoenix's voice cu

“Hey…I’m here,” I say, my voice coming out softer than I intended. She tries to sit up, wincing as pain shot through her side. My instinct is quick enough, and I move my hands on her shoulders, easing her back down. “You need to get a lot of rest.”“We won, right?” she asks, taking me aback. She can’t possibly be worried about that, even in this weak state. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips; I couldn’t help it. “Yes, we won.”A satisfied smile spread across her face, but it faded quickly. She looks down at herself. “How badly injured am I?" She asked.“It’s nothing too serious. You’ll heal in no time.” I assure her. “You scared the hell out of everyone. Including myself.”I noticed the surprise in her eyes. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” She says, blinking.“It’s fine. I know that.” I say, my hands lingering on her shoulder longer than ever, before I pull away, the brief connection we shared sending a ripple of warmth through my inside. “You did amazing out there, Phoeni
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 27: Love in conflict
I pace up and down, outside the room where Phoenix lay, unable to shake off the heavy weight pressing on my chest. I can smell her scent, light and familiar and laced but now laced with the metallic tang of blood. A haunting reminder of how close I was to losing her. I recount memories of her charging at the Blackfang scouts and tearing them down mercilessly, i marveled at her strength while I fought the scouts that came my way. I wish it was me instead. Lucas growl low in my mind, restless and not agreeing. “She’s alive because of the strength within her. And because we fought hard against those Blackfang scouts.”I ignore Lucas, my jaw clenched as I turn back towards the door. It’s been closed for a while now, and a quiet knock echoed behind me. “You’ll wear a path into the floor if you keep pacing around, Talon.” It’s Hosea, her voice is soft but firm and it brought me back to the present. I only nodded at her words, I can’t seem to respond. I notice Mira follow with a bundle
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 26: Sprinkles of War
Shadows stretch long beneath the thick canopy of tall trees, the air over us thick with tension and anticipation. My wolf thrums, his power vibrating like a taut bowstring and ready to pounce. Lucas is restless and eager. The moonstone pack house in shadowpine has been secluded and more secure than every other territory. So it’s been still and void of unnecessary intrusion, and the Blackfang threats to cross into it now has ignited a waiting storm. Phoenix is standing beside me, her eyes defiant. She doesn’t flinch even as I turn to face her. “This is not your fight,” I said quietly. It felt as if the air bent around her as Phoenix’ body morphed and twisted into something otherworldly. Talia is now standing, golden in all her glow, and glowing as if the moon itself had blessed her. She is not just beautiful; she’s shining radiantly; her golden coat shimmers like firelight caught in motion. My breath hitch, though I mask it quickly, but Lucas growled in appreciation. “Lucas,” her vo

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

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
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 23: Test of power
“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
