ROMAN.

“Dead. She took her own life because she couldn’t handle a broken mate-bond.”

That would explain why Octavia was alone. I couldn’t imagine how hard it would be to lose one parent, let alone both of them. How much pain had my mate been forced to endure? That had my heart clenching and Creed letting out a whine at the thought of her facing it all alone. Hopefully, she had others in her corner, ones that she could rely on for support and encouragement.

“I wonder how much of that is true,” I mused aloud.

He was immediately offended. I barely contained the smirk that wanted to break free because of the fury that rolled over him and off of him in waves.

I wasn’t unaccustomed to dealing with people like Alpha Richard. The pompous, holier-than-thou attitude of his showed me that he was no different from the others. They all held fast to the belief that they were better than everyone around them. People like them were the ones who were actually at the bottom of the totem pole instead of

Wow. Alpha Richard is one messed up individual. Octavia's family was put through quite a bit of pain all because of a lie.

  • Rise of the Phoenix Wolf   Chapter 68

    ROMAN.“So, what are the plans for tonight?” Brock asked, tossing me the tennis ball.I caught it without looking, leaning back in my chair as Demetrius and James trash-talked their way through a high-stakes game of darts on the other side of the room. It was the first calm we’d had in days. No alarms, no emergencies, no one bleeding out. And my office felt almost… normal. Which was rare enough to savor.I couldn't help but slowly grin as I checked the time.“I’ve got a date planned,” I said.Brock nearly choked on his drink. “A fancy date?”“Fancy,” I confirmed, throwing the ball back.James looked over his shoulder with a smirk. “You’re taking her somewhere good?”“Better than good,” I said.Because tonight wasn’t just dinner. It was something I’d put thought into—something meant to give Octavia a night away from the weight of destiny and grief and responsibility.“Thalassa Rose,” I told them, and Brock let out a low whistle.Thalassa Rose wasn’t just a restaurant—it was a whole exp

  • Rise of the Phoenix Wolf   Chapter 67

    OCTAVIA. We spent a little while in the office, getting to know Osric. Having never known a demon, at least a legitimate one, I wanted to learn about them. Honestly, the entire thing was fascinating. I had questions. A lot of them. Osric didn’t get offended, nor did he tire of answering them.He surprised me by not bristling or deflecting. He didn’t grow weary of my curiosity. Instead, he answered each one with quiet patience. Sometimes, he considered how best to explain something that had been his reality for centuries but was completely foreign to us.“Demons are not all the same,” he told us. “That is where many people get it wrong.”We listened with rapt attention as he explained the distinctions.The biggest difference in demons was whether they were born as one or made into one after death. Natural-born ones were never human or another species like us. They included incubi, succubi, imps, djinn, and cambions. They were born and raised in the demonic realm. Not to mention that t

    OSRIC.I wasn’t surprised that King Lezdeus disappeared when he realized that he was losing. The moment the tide turned, the moment his army became more corpse than force, he vanished. He went first before the others joined him.There was no doubt that he would return. Tyrants like him never accepted defeat. Only postponement. But time was the one thing he would need now. Time also meant survival for these people and for me.Suffocating silence crept in as the battlefield emptied of demons. Dead bodies from both sides lay scattered across the ground. Some twisted unnaturally where they’d fallen. The stench of death was heavy, but there was something even heavier—fresh air. This wasn’t the first time that I was on the surface, but I never remembered it smelling this good before. Although, it was when I died that I was last up here. Regardless, the scent here was preferable to the sulfur and darkness there.I stood alone among those who would consider me an enemy. The only demon still s

    OCTAVIA. The battle swelled around us. Smoke and ash filled the air, burning my lungs with every breath.The ground trembled beneath Storm’s movements. The vibrations rattled her bones with each strike against an enemy. Their screams blended with the roar of her Phoenix fire until the sounds became a single, deafening tempest.Osric moved as if he had been born of the shadows. Blood soaked into the earth and covered his arms, making him look just as lethal as he was. His blade sliced down with precise strikes rather than wild ones. He didn’t waste energy. Throats ripped out. Tendons severed. Wings hacked from backs before they could lift off.Every movement had intention behind it, the practiced efficiency of someone who had learned violence not as power… but as survival.Storm darted ahead of him, her flames leaving scorched paths in the darkness. She leaped up high, twisting midair. She barely avoided the spiked tail that slashed toward her belly. Heat poured off her as fire surged

  • Rise of the Phoenix Wolf   Chapter 64

    OCTAVIA.For a heartbeat, I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me. The battlefield was utter chaos. Across from us was a demon who was tearing through his own kind.Not wildly.Not frenzied like the others.But with precision, with purpose.He maneuvered around the battlefield with the meticulousness of a grandmaster. There were some expert dodging enemies, gifts, and Phoenix fire. In a way it looked like a chaotic dance and was proof of him being blessed by a higher authority.The Goddess had said that an ally would come in the most unlikely of forms during the battle when the demon horde rushed our borders.This was the ally that she had promised, of that we were certain.There was darkness inside of him, which was common for demons. You couldn’t go through life, or afterlife, in the Underworld without that darkness seeping deep into you. But there was something different about his darkness. It wasn’t overwhelmingly oppressive like the others. And underneath that darkness, s

  • Rise of the Phoenix Wolf   Chapter 63

    ROMAN. I’ve had plenty of nightmares in my life. Some common. Some downright terrifying. Even added up together didn’t come close to what we were facing right this moment. Rows after rows of demons who were staring at us like we were their next meal. Perhaps that was what they thought we’d become, but they were dead wrong.Context was important. So, a new phrase was needed.Their bodies were disgusting caricatures, more macabre than anything else. Don’t get me started on the stench. Goddess, it was overwhelming and one you would never forget. A mixture of sulfur, rot, and death.And then there was King Lezdeus. If the way that the demons submitted to him was not a neon sign, then that crown would be. He stood across from us. A smug smirk firmly planted on his large red lips.‘Do demons get collagen injections?’ Creed asked, zeroed in on them.My lips twitched, but I was able to control myself before I grinned at the demon king. I wouldn’t want to give him the wrong impression or anyth
