ROMAN.

My thumb caressed Octavia's cheek once more, the mate-bond sparks flaring to life. I took just a moment to focus on them, on her.

I pulled my phone out to place an important official call. It was one that'd destroy Alpha Richard's world. I found it oddly fitting that the reason his world would be destroyed revolved around the very same person whose world he had destroyed with action, a lie, and sadistic perverseness.

The phone rang three times before the call was picked up.

“Alpha Amir,”
Shana Allen

Alpha Louis and Alpha Jackson replaced Alpha Corey and Alpha Bradley on the Werewolf Council. A tidbit of information for anyone who read "Tangled Secrets - Taming Mr. Vittori".

  • Rise of the Phoenix Wolf   Chapter 72

    OCTAVIA. Hours slipped by in a haze of exhaustion, tension, and relentless determination.The clearing never truly quieted. Warriors and investigators continued combing through every inch of the scene beneath harsh portable lights, even long after they had carefully transported the girl’s body back to the pack for identification.The forest glowed in cold white beams as evidence markers dotted the ground like tiny warning signs. No one wanted to miss anything.Not after this.Forensic teams collected fibers from the bark where the girl had been pinned. Soil samples. Blood samples. Trace residue from the blackened demonic magic staining the clearing. Every footprint was photographed before being cast. Every broken branch was catalogued.The smell of damp earth and blood clung stubbornly to the air.Storm hated it, and so did I.Back at the packhouse, the tech team had converted one of the conference rooms into a command center. Screens lined the walls, displaying maps, timelines, and

    OCTAVIA. The world tunneled until everything around me blurred into insignificance. The trees. The warriors. The cold night air scraping against my skin. None of it mattered.All I could see was the girl pinned to the tree.Blood dripped slowly from the iron spikes embedded through her wrists, pattering softly onto dead leaves below in a rhythmic sound that immediately made my stomach turn. The metallic scent saturated the clearing so heavily it coated the back of my throat, thick and nauseating. The smell of fear clung to her skin too, sharp and sour, as if terror itself had soaked into her bones before she died.For one horrifying heartbeat, I thought it was June.The resemblance hit like a punch to the chest. Similar build. Similar hair. Young enough that the sight of her made something maternal and savage rise violently inside me. Panic exploded through my veins.I stumbled forward so fast my knees slammed hard into the damp earth beneath her. Mud soaked instantly into my jeans,

  • Rise of the Phoenix Wolf   Chapter 70

    OSRIC. I stayed close to my assigned group as we moved through the dark woods and along the quiet stretch of road that led away from the college.It still felt strange to be here.Not in the sense that I did not belong—at least not entirely—but because of how oddly welcoming everyone had been. When I first arrived at the packhouse, plenty of wolves looked at me as if they expected me to sprout horns and rip someone’s throat out. I could not exactly blame them for that. I was a demon. A real one. Not the watered-down version people told stories about around campfires.There was wariness. Suspicion.But then Luna Octavia and Alpha Roman vouched for me, which had changed everything.Not immediately. Wolves were too smart for blind trust. But little by little, they stopped looking at me like I was a bomb waiting to explode. Some nodded when they passed me in the hall. Others included me in conversations or handed me a coffee without being asked. Small things. Tiny things.But they matter

  • Rise of the Phoenix Wolf   Chapter 69

    OCTAVIA. The moment the line went dead, the world narrowed to a single, pounding truth. Alpha Richard done fucked up by taking one of our pack members.The air in Roman’s office felt too tight, like it was pressing in on my lungs. Storm paced inside me, her fire rolling and snapping, furious and focused on equal measure. She wasn’t panicking, neither was I, but the restraint it took not to burn the walls down around us was staggering.“Roman,” I said, my voice steadier than I felt. “We need to move now.”He didn’t hesitate. He never did. His arm tightened around my waist for just a breath before he stepped forward, already shifting into Alpha mode. Orders came fast and sharp, each one landing with purpose.“Brock—mobilize trackers. I want noses on every route between the campus and Carrie’s house.”“Demetrius—pull traffic cams and street feeds. Anywhere she could’ve passed.”“James—get the perimeter teams ready. We’re expanding the boundary outward.”They moved instantly. No questions

    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 expe

    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 th

    OCTAVIA.“Like literal flames?” Yasmine asked me curiously.We were preparing welcome baskets to give out to new pack members. It wasn’t anything overly special or anything, but it was a gift that would hopefully help out some as they transitioned. Each basket included a map of the territory, vouche

    ROMAN. She dropped down against my hard-on and rubbed herself against it a few times before I placed a hand on her lower back to hold her steady. There was no way in fuck that I wanted to come before we actually got going.“Keep that up, and I’ll be coming in no time. You feel so good even like thi

    OCTAVIA.Planning for the special weekend was actually a lot of fun.Many pack members wanted to help out. Some people wished to help prepare enough food for everyone. Others wanted to donate their time and craft to ensure that there was enough tables and seating.Other people were wanting to set up

    OCTAVIA.I enjoyed getting to know Violet and Lilac.Violet was sarcastic, opinionated, and quick-witted. Lilac was a bit more reserved but also had that quick wit about her.It was absolutely amazing to learn about Fae. Lilac was full-blooded, while Violet was only half-blooded. Both women had very
