Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 9: Ours
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

Each day I’ve spent here, I experience a new kind of care. Hosea’s care is like nothing I’ve ever seen; it is totally new to me. She attends to me gently, cleaning me with warm towels and bringing me bowls of thick, sweet soup that feels warm to my body. As she smooths my hair back with her patient hands, she coos softly, whispering comforting words to me as though she knows I need it.When I tear up, mourning the life I had and now miss, she wraps me in her arms. I long for her hugs; they are tender and knowing, and it leaves a lingering feeling of condor inside me and melts something within I didn’t know had hardened. A mother's love. It feels raw and whole every time, and it opens up wounds I had hidden for long. "Phoenix, you are special,” she says one evening when I cry silently on her shoulder. “I know you probably don’t understand it yet, but your coming here is divine; you are here for a special reason.” Her words hit my ears smooth and soothingly; it echoes, sticking to my e

I look into his eyes, and his expression is not what I expected; it is hard. His eyes still bearing holes into mine, his brows furrowing together relentlessly. Something about his gaze left an unsettling feeling within me, but I didn’t give up. I fixed my gaze on his hard stare, patiently waiting for him to lash on me. I’ve been here for a couple of days, and Talon’s energy is different from anything I have ever felt. It is strong, firm, and raw. As he continued to give me death stares, I matched his energy and retorted with a stern gaze. Which is unusual; I’m not a weak wolf by any means, but I never would have stared so boldly into an alpha’s eye like this. “It’s been weeks,” he finally says; his tone is low and masked with irritation; he isn’t even trying to hide it. “We don’t run a charity organization here. Now, tell me, Who are you, and why did you become a rogue?”His tone stirs the wolf inside of me, and I feel that indignant fire rising within. Even if I’ve gone through the

The finality in his tone is harsh, and it cut through me like a blade, and Talia let out a wounded whimper, dropping her initial rage. The anger I felt has been replaced by something graver, rejection. I feel it spread through my whole body like a wildfire, leaving a deep ache in my chest. I look up to meet his gaze, desperately searching for any hint of sympathy and understanding, but there’s none. His face is void of any; it’s deep green eyes are cold and unyielding. Though I sense something else beyond the hard exterior, as if his wolf is against him. Realisation begins to settle in me, and it leaves me breathless. I’ve finally become a castaway. I was rejected back home, and now I’m rejected here too. My wolf stirs up in agony, and I’m fighting so hard to not break. Just as I am thinking about my ill fate, Hosea steps in; she stands in between Talon and me. Her eyes full of indignation as she comes face to face with Talon. “You cannot throw her out,” she says in the softest yet p

Talon‘s words settle down in my chest, and I also think back to Hosea’s words. My heartbeat quickens, and I try to process the whole message, Hosea’s satisfactory look, and Talon’s terrifying rage. “Talon dear, I have stood by you all these years. Do you think I’ll lie to you now?” Hosea’s voice breaks through my thoughts; her voice is steady and her gaze rests sharply on Talon. “I also wish there’s a way out, but you cannot fight fate. Fighting fate comes with its penalty, and it is disastrous. You know better; you know that destiny cannot be altered, and this right here is your destiny.”I could feel Talon’s frustration as he shifted uncomfortably. I wait for his response, but he doesn’t respond. Though his eyes are blaring with a thousand questions, his jaw tightens, and his body is rigid, as if trying to brace himself against something he should not believe. I feel for him as much as I feel for myself and watch him shift more in frustration. “I said it, didn’t I? I told you she

The sound of the door reverberated behind me as I slammed it shut. My fist clenched tightly as I walked down the corridor, my chest tight with the weight of what Hosea said. “You are bonding already.” Those words lingered in my mind, and it keeps ringing in my head unrelentless. My wolf keeps stirring uneasily, but I shoved the burning sensation aside, focusing on my anger and confusion at the moment. I don’t want this; I didn’t ask for any of it. Phoenix. Her name alone set my teeth on edge. She wasn’t supposed to be a part of my world; she’s not supposed to be here. She just stumbled into my territory. A rogue, that's what she is. Phoenix is trouble to me but now, Hosea’s words fill me with even more rage over a fact I’ve feared since the moment I saw her in the forest. She is the golden wolf, the one tied to me in a bond I didn’t ask for.My boots are pounding heavily against the stone floor as I round a corner. My mind is racing non-stop. Hosea says the bond has already begun, b

Days pass in an uneasy blur, and I still hold my resolve firmly. The weight of my decision was killing me, and the tension inside simmered just below the surface, my wolf stirring restlessly but subdued. I spent nights patrolling the edges of my territory; the cool evening air did nothing to clear the storm of thoughts in my head. I can’t keep avoiding Hosea. It’s morning, and as the first light shines through the horizon, I stand outside her quarters, rehearsing the wording of my decision. The morning air is crisp and heavy with the scent of pine and frost. I knock at her door once, my fist firm against the weathered wood of Hosea’s door.“Come in,” Hosea’s steady voice called out.I push the door open, and in a minute, I am in, and she’s seated at a small table. Hosea’s gaze lifted to meet mine, curiosity flashing through her soft eyes. She gestured towards a second chair, but I didn’t sit. “I’ve made a decision,” I say, trying to keep my voice low and steady. “Phoenix can stay,

As I sat by the fire, watching its soft glow shine through the territory, Hosea sat with me, her calm presence as steady as the forest that surrounds us.“So, Phoenix,” Hosea began, her eyes soft and sparkling and voice soothing. “Talon has made a decision and he wants you to stay with the rest of the pack. It’s for your safety.”“Is it for my safety or his safety?” I swallow hardHosea raises an eyebrow and later offers the faintest smile upon realizing it. “You know it’s both. You are his mate. You are rare and powerful. And because you pose a future threat, Talon is being protective of his pack territory.”Protective. An interesting way to describe his domineering approach. But I know Hosea is just being honest, with no malice, only understanding. I fiddle with the hem of my dress before speaking again.“I know I don’t belong here, so I won’t want my identity to hurt the pack. I don’t even know how I’ll act towards them; what if they find out?”“No, what ifs?” Hosea cut in. “Just

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
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 85: A Shattered Peace
PHOENIXMy heart is pounding heavily as I move through the familiar halls of Silvercrest pack house. The weight of everything that has happened, my capture, the rescue, Dylan’s constant betrayal, feels like a storm that hasn’t quite passed. My hands tremble slightly as I wipe a bead of sweat from my brow. Lucia is also at ease now, but for me, my mind has refused to be calm.I need answers to certain questions, and I must protect my people from the wrath of Dylan.I move towards the healer’s chamber, my pace steady yet so purposeful. The healer is already working on Lucia, stitching the deep gash along her side. I am standing by my sister’s side, watching as the woman carefully works, her hands practiced and precise. I can sense Lucia’s pain, but at least she is alive. That is something.The healer finally finished her work and I stepped forward, reaching down to gently take Lucia’s hand in mine. I watch her stir lightly, her eyes flutter open, though she still looks pale and fragile.
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 84: A Vow of Vengeance
DYLANMy body aches as I try to sit up straight, breathing shallowly and raggedly. The dead underneath me is stained by the blood that drips down my temple. Our celebration had swiftly devolved into a battleground, with my once-thriving pack in ruins and warriors dispersed and vanquished. The metallic tang of my rage is mixed with the stench of smoke and blood. Talon had arrived like a raging storm, destroying all I had worked so hard to create, stealing Phoenix from me, and humiliating me in the process.The air is thick with the stench of blood and defeat. I sit in the ruins of what was once a celebration, my fists clenching, my body aching from the wounds Talon had inflicted on me. He took her away from me. Again. My wolf stirred inside me, restless. “Let it go, Dylan,” he breathed to my ears. “This is a battle you cannot win. The golden wolf and her mate, Talon, are bound by something far beyond power. You cannot defeat them.” I growl, slamming my fist against the stone wall

TALONThen I see her, but she’s not alone.Phoenix is standing at the centeR of the battlefield, her wolf straining against her. Blood trail down her fur, she is fighting, of course she is. My fierce mate.And in front of her is “Dylan.”Lucia is lying beside Phoenix’s side, bleeding heavily from her shoulder, her breaths ragged and uneven.My vision suddenly blurs Red. Dylan. That bastard.A guttural growl rips through my throat, and Dylan’s attention snaps to me. His smirk is infuriating, full of arrogance as if he hasn’t just kidnapped my mate and hurt someone under my protection. “You came,” Dylan muse, cracking his knuckles. His eyes flickering with dark power, something is definitely wrong beneath the surface. “Took you long enough.” I lunge He barely dodges my strike, leaping back as my claws tear through the air where his throat has been. He is fast. Dylan’s wolf, dark and intimidating charged, black smoke-like energy curls around him, feels like dark magic. The coward h

TALONThe night air is thick with the scent of the wild, damp earth and pine filling my lungs as I stand beneath the endless stretch of stars. My pack and I have spent days tracking, and searching every possible lead, but every time we think we are close to finding her, the trail runs cold. It is maddening.Lucas prowled restlessly inside me, his frustration mirroring mine. “She is out here somewhere. We must find her.”I know that. I can feel it deep in my bones, the bond. Between us, we keep pulling taut with every passing second. She isn't just Luna, she's my mate, my purpose, the one thing I refuse to lose. And yet, I have failed to protect her.Hosea approaches me, her expression grim but the calmness of her eyes helps me. “Still nothing,” she says calmly. I exhale sharply, rubbing my hands down my face. “Let’s keep searching, we can stop until we find her,” I say, trying to stay hopeful. “I know her. She is a strong wolf, nothing bad will happen to her. She isn't the golden wo

PHOENIXThe rope burns in my wrists ache, but I don’t care. Freedom is just within reach.I watch as Lucia’s fingers work quickly, untying the last knot that bound me to the chair Dylan had restrained me in. As the ropes fall away, I roll my sore wrist, the relief almost overwhelming. “Are you okay?” Lucia whispers, concern flashing in her silver eyes. I nod, though my body tell a different story. My muscles are stiff from being tied up for so long, and exhaustion weighing down on me. But none matters right now, I should get out of here.I turn to Lucia, grateful beyond words that she found me. “How did you—“ “I heard about Raven Night’s celebration party and instantly knew something wasn’t right,” Lucian cut in, her expression dark. “I came here to spy on me just as I promised, and then I found you.”I let out a slow breath. “You always had a good instinct.”She gives me a tight smile, then her expression immediately turns serious. “We need to get out of here. Before Dylan realiz
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 80: Lair Secrets
LUCIAI have always trusted my instincts, and tonight, it screamed at me louder than ever.Word had gone out through Silvercrest that our neighboring pack, Raven Night which is ruled by Dylan, is celebrating though no one got an information on why. Dylan isn’t the type to throw a gathering without an ulterior motive, I know him. He is always scheming, always working towards something beneath the surface. And I know better than to just ignore it.Since the last time Phoenix was here before she left I promised to always keep an eye on Dylan and to make sure he never pulls her into his twisted web of deceit and greed. And now, with the sudden news of Raven Night’s festivities, I have a sickening feeling in my gut. Something must be wrong somewhere, I can smell it.Dressed in dark clothing, I move through the shadows of the forest, my wolf altered but controlled. I am not here for a fight, at least not yet. My mission is to observe, to gather information, and when necessary, intervene.Th
