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 that sound familiar, sweetheart?”

My whole body stiffened. “That’s a lie,” I managed to say it . “I don’t remember doing any of that, it’s not true.”

“Oh well… you were really drunk,” the man said still grinning. “But you…were very enthusiastic.”

“No,” I shook my head. “That never happened. I would never…”

“She is a liar,” Dylan cut in, his voice was low but dangerous. “You are saying she came on to you and you just went along, right?” He turned facing the man, eyes narrowed. 

The man’s eyes were cold and he shrugged again. “I said she was frantically all over me. What was I supposed to do, say no? The lady wanted it, and I had to give it. And from the look of things, she liked it a lot.” 

“Dylan, I promise I didn’t do it,” I said half sobbing

“Shut up!” Dylan snapped at me. His face was laced with fury as he turned to me, “You filthy liar. All this time I thought it was some mistake. But now…now it’s clear what you are. A cheap whore.”

My heart grew heavier and pounded louder, I couldn’t hear any other thing. “Please, I’m begging you Dylan, He’s lying!”

“You really think I’ll believe you, huh?!” Dylan’s voice rose. “You seduced him and followed him, and slept with him here, and now you want to act like you don’t remember? Like you are innocent? I’m done with you, Phoenix.”

Tears pierced my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I couldn’t let them see me fall apart. “Dylan, you have to believe me,” I continued to beg. “I didn’t want to be here. I didn’t betray you, please trust me.” My voice was trembling.

Dylan’s jaw clenched, his fists were visibly shaking. “You disgust,” he barked at me. “You can’t lie your way out of this. I know what you truly are. You’ve ruined everything. Our pack, they turn their backs on you. You can’t be accepted now.”

The weight of his words weighed down on me and I was struggling to breathe. “Dylan, please understand me…” I try to say but my heart was shattering into a thousand pieces. 

“I do understand,” he spat. “You are a liar and a terrible cheat, and you deserve whatever comes to you now.”

I panicked and vigorously shook my head. “No, I didn’t, Dylan please…”

“Shut up!” He snarled. “No one will believe your pathetic lie of not remembering. It’s over for you Phoenix. I’ll deal with and when I’m done, no pack will take you in.”

His words hit me sharper than the last. I had nothing to fall back on, no memories or defense. Just this strange man, twisting the situation more than it already was.

The man’s grin never faltered, his eyes sparked of satisfaction as he watched the drama. “It was really fun,” he added. “She really knows how to make a wolf feel good.” His voice dripped with malice.

Dylan’s fist flew squarely to the man’s jaw before I could even react, sending him straight to the hard floor. The man groaned and clutched his face in pain, but his smirk remained.

“Get out of here,” Dylan growled, his voice so dangerous. “Get lost before I kill you.”

“Fine by me even, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.” He said scrambling to his feet, wiping blood from his cut lip. As he made his way, he shot me one last smirk and I was standing there, trembling, and Dylan’s rage was unstoppable.

There was silence for a moment. Then Dylan turned, glared at me with icy eyes. “You are going to regret this. I’ll make you pay for the rest of your life.”

“I didn’t do it…” I begged still

“Do I look like I care?!” His voice was low and dangerous. “I don’t care what you have to say. It’s over for you and I’ll make sure everyone knows that as well, you’ll no longer be a part of a pack.”

My heart dropped, my throat closed up and my mind raced. “Please…You can’t ”

“I can and I will, watch me.” He grabbed my arm, dragging me out as we went down the hallway and into the cold air outside.

”Go”, he said as he shoved me towards his car. “Go back and tell your pack what you’ve done and how you’ve ruined everything.”

I stared at him with racing mind and a frozen body. “Please…please Dylan” I continued in my plea. 

“Shut up and get in the car, Phoenix,” he hissed. “Get in before I do something we will regret.”

I opened the car door with shaky hands, my mind was clouded with fear, confusion and heartbreak. I stirred up the engine, my hands gripping the steering wheels a little too tightly.

“You are dead to me,” his voice was flat and his face hard as hell.

I swallowed hard as I threw the car into fear and wheeled out of the parking lot. Reality settled on me quickly and it was suffocating.

I was going to meet my father’s pack. Yes, I had to face them. I had to explain but as I drove faster, one thing horrified my mind.

Was Dylan right?

What if they know  already?

What if I’m dead to them too? What will become of me? 

These were my thoughts as I drove faster and faster to face the pack and await my judgement.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

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
