~AidenThe air smelled like smoke, sweat, and victory.Ashenhowl had never sounded like this before.Drums thundered in uneven rhythms, some fast, some wild…no coordination, no structure, just raw celebration. Wolves howled into the sky, their voices overlapping in a chaotic harmony that echoed through the forest. Laughter broke out in bursts, sharp and loud, followed by claps, stomps, and the shrill notes of flutes that someone had probably dug out from storage just for this moment.We had won.For the first time in what felt like forever, no one was looking over their shoulder.I stood just outside the pack house, leaning slightly against one of the wooden pillars, my hands tucked deep into my pockets. A slow smile stretched across my face as I watched them.Guards who had barely spoken more than a few words to each other before were now throwing arms around shoulders, shouting songs at the top of their lungs. Some had already shifted, their wolves darting through the clearing, chas
~AidenIt began with pressure.A thick, suffocating weight that settled into the air long before the first strike was made, pressing against my chest, sharpening every sense, every instinct. By the time the first howl split through the clearing, we were already moving.I shifted mid-run, the transformation ripping through me in a familiar surge of power. The world snapped into clarity the moment my paws hit the ground, every scent magnified, every movement around me sharpened into something I could read and react to in an instant.And then we collided.Ashenhowl did not hesitate.Neither did Bloodfang.The impact was immediate and brutal, bodies crashing into each other with enough force to shake the ground beneath us. Claws tore through fur, teeth clashed, growls erupted from every direction, blending into something wild and unrestrained.A wolf lunged at me from the front. I twisted just before impact, letting his weight slide past me before driving into his side and sending him cra
~NadiaThe silence in the house felt unfamiliar and quiet.I sat still, my hands resting on my lap, my gaze fixed on nothing in particular. The walls around me were plain, worn in places, carrying the quiet life of someone who had lived alone for far too long. It wasn’t comforting… but it wasn’t cruel either.And right now, that was enough.A slow breath slipped past my lips as my thoughts drifted again, pulling me back to the moment I walked out of Ashenhowl.I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t have a plan. I just knew I couldn’t stay there. Not after everything I had heard. Not after everything they had kept from me.So I left.I walked through the night. Through the cold. Through paths I didn’t even recognize.I remembered the emptiness more than anything else, like something had been ripped out of me and nothing had taken its place.But then a man had found me wandering without direction, barely aware of where I was stepping, and brought me here without asking too many quest
~LucianThe night had been too quiet.I stood at the edge of the ridge, the wind dragging against my coat like it was trying to pull me back from what was coming. Below me, the forest stretched endlessly…dark, breathing… alive in a way that made even me uneasy.Somewhere in that darkness… Bloodfang had been waiting.My jaw tightened. My fingers curled slowly at my sides, power humming beneath my skin…restless, impatient. It had been building for days. Longer, if I was being honest. Since the moment I grew up, knowing they wanted what was rightfully ours. And they would stoop to any level to get it.But tonight, it would end. It had to.I closed my eyes for a brief second to inhale the fresh air of nature, to calm my nerves and prepare my mind fully for this war. But instead, she came.Nadia.Not as something I reached for, but as something that refused to leave. The memory of her voice…soft, steady…lingered in the quiet. The way her eyes had held mine, like she had been searching for
~Lucian The deep silence within me did the counting of how many days that had passed without seeing or feeling Nadia beside me. It stretched through the halls, settled into the walls, lingered in every corner of the pack house like something that refused to leave. Like something that had been taken… and left a hollow behind. I stood in the middle of my room for a moment, unmoving. The loose shirt on my body hung carelessly, barely noticeable against my skin. Nothing felt right anymore. Not the air. Not the space. Not even myself. I dragged a slow breath in and turned, walking out of the room without thinking too much about where I was going. My feet already knew. The home bar. Of course. My steps were steady, but everything around me felt distant, like I was walking through a place I used to know but no longer belonged to. I stepped inside and paused. Nothing had changed. The glasses were still arranged neatly. The bottles stood exactly where they always had. The chair… the
~LucianWatching her pack her clothes, my heart began to race.Was she really leaving? Was she going to walk out of my life and never return? Was she going to forget everything we had so easily… everything we shared?I tried to explain it to her, but she was too angry to listen. How else could I make her understand that I didn’t kill her mother out of my own will?I had trusted Ara when she was alive. I respected her. I stood against the suggestion of her execution, but my father saw that as weakness. He used it against me. He made me sign the death warrant as a way to harden me, to prepare me for rulership after him.After the execution, Nadia had been hidden away in her playhouse, trembling in fear as the pack enforcers surrounded her.I fought them all just to keep her safe. To keep her close. Even my father could not stop me at that time.And now…Now she was leaving anyway.As I watched her gather her things, my fists curled instinctively. In that moment, I couldn’t tell if it
~LucianAn Alpha who panics has already lost.I stood alone in the vault, the beam of my phone’s flashlight cutting a thin, pale line across shelves that had stood here longer than most bloodlines. The absence I had just discovered didn’t rush at me. It didn’t scream. It settled. Heavy. Intentional
~Aiden Morning came quietly. Too quietly. I woke to pale light slipping through the curtains, painting thin silver lines across the ceiling. For a moment … just one fragile moment … I didn’t remember anything. My body felt rested. My breathing was steady. The ache in my limbs was gone, like sleep
~AidenBy the time I reached the council grounds, my nerves had settled… not completely, but enough that the tight knot in my chest had loosened into something duller. Still painful. Still present. Just not as suffocating as it had been when I left the pack house.The drive there had been quiet. To
~ LucianI had already replayed it a hundred times in my head right before the silence in the room was shattered into loud heartbeats that seemed to thud deeply in my stomach.The way it had almost worked.That was the part my mind kept circling back to, like a tongue worrying a wound. The desire i
