The Outcast’s Fate
Samantha was never meant to survive. Found abandoned at the edge of the wolf pack’s territory, she was a fragile human child in a world of sharp fangs and unbreakable laws. The Alpha wanted nothing to do with her, but one woman defied him, taking Samantha in, raising her as her own, and shielding her from the brutal ways of the pack.
But no amount of love could change what she was: an outsider. A girl without claws, without a howl.
Sienna, the woman’s true daughter, never let her forget it. With whispers of doubt and cruel schemes, she poisoned the pack against Samantha, determined to see her cast out once and for all. But standing between Samantha and her sister’s hatred was Derek the Alpha’s son. He should have ignored her, should have turned his back like the rest. Instead, he became her silent protector, drawn to the fire in her eyes and the strength in her spirit.
As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Samantha is faced with a choice to continue hiding in the shadows or carve out a place for herself among the wolves. But some in the pack would rather see her dead than see her rise. And the closer she gets to Derek, the more dangerous her existence becomes.
Because in a world where only the strong survive, a human girl is either prey… or something far more dangerous.

Chapter: Chapter 22. Whispers in the WoodThe air was still, unnervingly quiet.Callen knelt beside the unconscious girl, his weathered fingers hovering uncertainly above her shoulder. Samantha lay curled at the base of a gnarled tree, her skin smudged with dirt and marked with bruises, her lips cracked and pale. Her breath was shallow, barely audible over the soft rustling of leaves.The other two elders stood a few paces back, silent and wary.“She’s no older than seventeen,” Callen murmured, his voice low and unsure. “Eighteen at most.”Greer adjusted the grip on his wooden walking stick, the old man’s eyes narrowed beneath bushy white brows. “And naked,” he said grimly. “No clothes. No bag. Nothing. She didn’t come from any path. And no one in Olubruk is missing a girl.”Harst crouched low beside them, examining the faint tracks that led into the clearing tracks that danced between animal and human. His brow furrowed.“She didn’t walk in here,” he muttered. “She ran. Fast. On all fours, maybe. Th

Chapter: Chapter 21. The First Shift The night air crackled with wild energy.Samantha knelt in the forest clearing, her breath ragged, her heart pounding like war drums. Her fingers had become claws, her senses sharpened, and every breath she took was laced with the pulse of the earth beneath her. The howl she had heard was real, not dreamt still echoed in her mind.And then, it happened.Her body seized with sudden heat, like a fire igniting deep in her chest. Her spine arched, her mouth opened in a silent cry, and the world spun around her. Her skin shimmered in the moonlight, splitting and shifting, her bones stretching, her limbs bending.She didn’t scream.She surrendered.With a final jolt, the change overtook her and she was no longer a girl.She was a wolf.A breathtaking, silver-pelted creature, sleek and luminous beneath the full moon. Her fur shimmered like starlight, and her golden eyes glowed with newfound clarity. Every movement was poetry, her muscles fluid, her stan

Chapter: Chapter 20. Beneath The Full MoonThe forest was quiet too quiet.Samantha lay still, her back pressed against the rough bark of a fallen tree, her body aching from the fever that had burned through her the night before. The fire at her camp had gone cold. Her skin glistened with sweat, her hair damp and tangled from restless sleep.Above her, the sky stretched wide, painted in silver light.The full moon had risen.Its glow blanketed the woods like a silent spell, illuminating every leaf and stone with eerie clarity. But Samantha didn’t see any of it. Her eyes were closed, her breaths shallow, her mind slipping into a strange, deep slumber.And then… she dreamed.At first, it felt like falling.Her body weightless, spiraling through darkness, her heartbeat thudding like a drum echoing into the void. But then the darkness lifted, peeled away like fog, and she found herself standing in the center of a wild glade. The trees here were taller than any she’d ever seen, their branches heavy wit

Chapter: Chapter 19. The Fever in Her BloodThe wind whispered through the trees that night, a low mournful sound that matched the ache in Samantha’s chest. Two nights had passed since she fled the Shadowfang ruins, stumbling out of the dark cave with more questions than answers. She hadn’t been able to tell anyone what happened there, what the ancient spirits had said, or what she had felt. Who would believe her anyway? That she, Samantha, the outcast girl with no known bloodline, might be something… more?She sat alone at her small camp, the cold earth beneath her no longer offering comfort. Her small fire was dying, flickering low as if echoing the exhaustion in her bones. She had just two strips of dried meat left and a cracked waterskin. She hadn’t eaten since dawn, and her lips were parched, her stomach a pit of hunger. But worse than all that was the gnawing uncertainty inside her.She had nowhere to go. The pack she once tried to belong to had turned its back on her. And the spirit cave, though it offered

Chapter: Chapter 18. The Spirit WithinShe remained there beneath the emerging stars, the taste of cave dust still on her tongue, the echo of ancient words haunting her chest. Samantha dropped to her knees, her shoulders quivering under the weight of a truth that made no sense—but felt terrifyingly real.Tears spilled freely now. She bowed her head and let the sorrow fall.“This was just a waste of time,” she whispered through clenched teeth. “I came all this way for riddles… for silence.”A sharp gust of wind swirled around her, though the forest ahead remained still. And then—“Child…”The voice returned. Not from outside—but from deep, deep within the cave. Not loud, but thunderous in its own way. Not cruel, but cold enough to freeze the blood.She turned her head slowly. The cave mouth loomed behind her like the jaw of a sleeping beast.“The answers you seek… they are not hidden in stone or shadow. They live within you.”Her breath hitched.“Your past… your present… and what i

Chapter: Chapter 17. The Truth Beneath the Silence The voice echoed again through the ancient hollow, rumbling like a forgotten thunder:“We did not take your vision, child.”Samantha’s breath caught in her throat. The tears that had stained her cheeks froze in place as a strange warmth coursed through her chest. She blinked rapidly, still surrounded by suffocating darkness, but somehow it no longer felt like blindness—it felt like… a waiting.“A-Am I dreaming?” she whispered, trembling. “Why can’t I see then, ancient spirits? Why is it so dark?”The voice returned, calm yet commanding, as though it carried centuries of wisdom and pain.“You are deep within the Shadowfang’s heart. The light here fades for all, but you still stand… because you belong.”Samantha’s fingers trembled against the cold stone beneath her knees. “Belong? What do you mean?”There was a pause, and then the voice filled the cavern again:“You carry the blood of the wolves, child. That is why your vision remains within you. Had yo
