Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 13: Bound by Fate
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

“Hi…my name is Phoenix and yes, I’m new.” I finally find my voice A lithe werewolf with shoulder-length auburn curls in micro locs, a mikly chocolate complexion, and an easy grin that seemed to set her apart from the others. Mira came to be during a break, holding out water like a peace offering. “Thought so.” She plopped down beside me on the bench, I noticed her bright hazel eyes full of curiosity. “I’ve noticed you around, and I also noticed you are always so quiet.”“Hmm…yeah,” I replied, trying to sound casual and not giving off anything. She tilted her head, studying me for a moment before grinning. “Don’t worry, you’ll get used to being here soon. The key is to find your people.”Find my people. Those words echo in my head. “You find the ones that make this place feel like home. That way, it gets easier because you are not trying to figure it out alone.” Mira continued.Mira’s words settle deep within me. Since I got here, I have felt a spark of connection with someone asi

One by one, everyone begins to shift to their wolves; smooth furs begin to emerge with effortless grace. I watch the beautiful display in awe. No matter how many times I see wolves shift, it will always be magical. To be a wolf is to carry an element of magic in you, but my heart pounds heavily as I see them all watch me expectantly. Talia is different now. I feel it, and I wonder if that change will be obvious to them. Will they know that I am different when they see my wolf? “Let’s do this, Phoenix.” My wolf, Talia, whispered in my mind again. The sound of her voice is soothing, but I couldn’t miss the power it holds.The change started; my body trembled as I begin to shift into my wolf form. Fur replacing skin, and my limbs reforming until they were standing on four paws. I hear close gasps as my shift is happening. I anticipated their shock. Talia emerges in her full glory, a golden wolf, shining uncontrollably under the full moonlight. First came the gasp, then murmurs fill the

My body burned from the inside out as if I were engulfed in fire. I hear Mira scream from what sounds like a distance as she races to my curled-up and trembling form. “Phoenix! What happened to you?" She exclaimed, crashing beside me quickly. Her hands feel warm against my now-damp skin. I'm nearly passed out, but I can hear her subconsciously.“Hang on, I’m calling for help.”I was half conscious when Mira’s voice sounded near again; her voice had an urgent tone to it, heavy footsteps, and then the sensation of being carried. “She’s burning up badly.” I hear another familiar voice. “This is no ordinary fever.”“Let’s get her to the healer’s cottage,” Talon’s familiar voice ordered. His mouthwatering smell nearly consumed me. His voice is calm, but I could sense the tension radiating from it. Hours later, I wake up in a cool, dark room. I feel better than earlier; the fever had lessened, but my body still feels heavy, like I was wrestling with an invisible weight. I could hear vo

Talia tries to force her way out and take control. Ordinarily, with all I have been through today, I should be too weak to fight her, but I cannot afford to embarrass myself with Talon as I fight. Talia begins to connect with his wolf as Talon rages, ”Talia, please.” I pleaded in my mind with my wolf to stop the bonding. Hosea and Mira exchanged glances, and as if on cue, Mira left the room after gazing between the three of us. Hosea stays, and I feel grateful. “Talon, you have to calm down,” Hosea whispered.But Talon is frozen and looking pale, staring at me like he’s just seen a ghost. He points at me and asks Hosea in a shocked whisper, “Why can I hear her already? Why is her wolf speaking to mine? We are not bonded! This shouldn’t be happening!” He yells the last sentences.Well, she’s a pack member now; she is bonded with the pack, which means she is bonded with you one way or another, so whether you like it or not, the bonding process has started. “This is what I was avoidi

Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 94: A Destiny Fulfillment
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. My pulse thundered as I felt his rage. Let the battle begin.My heart pounded as Talon and I raced toward Dylan, the weight of our purpose pressing upon me like never before. The meeting with the divine being in the sacred region had shown me to the core. The choice she made was absolute, she would fight without intervention and she would do it
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 92: A Choice of Fate
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
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 91: The journey to the Sacred Land
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. Our jou
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 90: The Price of Power
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
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 89: A New Storm Rising
PHOENIXThe night air is thick with tension, and I can feel Talia, pacing restlyly with. 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
Rise Of The Golden Wolf Chapter 88: Valley of Decision
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
