UNKNOWN. Silence, the precious gift that it was, had almost been forgotten entirely. It was practically non-existent. This was where souls screamed out to torture’s Greatest Hits. Nothing ever changed here. Not really. It was the same century after century. At least that was what I’d thought.My gaze was glued to the little river of fire that never extinguished. The little never-ending hiss was almost cathartic. Sitting on the bank, doing the same thing that I did yesterday, should’ve felt repetitive. But something was different.No, not something.It was me that was different.There were two kinds of demons, though most mortals couldn’t tell the difference. The first was the traditional sort that they would expect, the ones that most stories got right. Souls that weren’t accepted into the realm of their creator and were cast into the Underworld. They screamed, they fought, they begged until they broke down into something unrecognizable. If Hades deemed that they’d suffered enough, t
Rise of the Phoenix Wolf Chapter 59
ROMAN.As much as I wanted to protect my mate from everything, I wasn’t certain how to do that right now.Enemies I could fight. Threats could be neutralized in time. But this? How could I protect her from the weight she carried because of the destiny that had been chosen for her? Creed and I did what we could to help her bear it. She was powerful in a way that was daunting and awe-inspiring. She held the weight on her like letting go of so much as an ounce of it would hurt us. If she wavered, there we were. It was on us to help carry the load with her.But Octavia…she was a stubborn thing.And that was rich coming from me. It was the pot calling the kettle black and all. No matter how hard she attempted to hide it, I could always see the fatigue whenever it hit her. This shivering in her hands after training, how she made herself smile just so that the rest of us didn’t have to worry. It gutted me each time because she shouldn’t feel the need to hide it and to pretend that she was

OCTAVIA.Change was on the horizon. I could feel its weight pressing down on me like a gathering storm. It wasn’t visible yet, not completely, but it was there, humming beneath the surface of every breath, every quiet moment. I’d been doing my best to act unaffected, to wear composure like armor, but I wasn’t sure how convincing I’d been. Roman saw through me too easily. He always did.There were days when it felt like I was treading water in the middle of a vast, unseen ocean with each wave heavier than the last. The responsibilities of being Luna, the uncertainty that lurked behind every new revelation, the quiet fear that I wasn’t enough pressed down until I could barely breathe.And every single time, Roman was there.He was the steady hand that reached into the water and pulled me up before I went under completely. His presence alone was enough to remind me that I wasn’t alone in any of this, that he’d find me no matter how dark or chaotic things got. He always did.He had been my

SAOIRSE.The bass hit me first, thrumming through the floorboards and up into my bones like a second heartbeat. Ireland had no shortage of clubs, but this one was different—darker, more dangerous. It was the kind of place where the wrong glance could start a war, and the right smile could get you everything you wanted.I was dressed to kill, like always. My dress clung in all the right places, black silk that shimmered faintly under the neon lights, cut high enough to distract and low enough to invite. Heels clicked sharp against the floor as I moved, a sound almost swallowed by the heavy thrum of music and the roar of voices shouting over it. Smoke curled lazily in the air—cigarettes, cigars, and something stronger—and the scent mixed with spilled whiskey, sweat, and perfume that lingered like ghosts.The bar stretched long and polished, covered in fingerprints, ringed glasses, and hands exchanging money far too casually for the amounts involved. The barkeep moved with quick precision
Rise of the Phoenix Wolf Chapter 56
OCTAVIA. Today was my first official day as Luna.It was a position that I never thought I’d hold. From being hated and treated like nothing more than a slave to standing proudly beside my Alpha as his Luna, it was the kind of transformation you only ever heard about in stories. Mine had been paved in, scars and resilience. Rags-to-riches didn’t even seem enough to describe it.I was excited and nervous all at once, my chest buzzing with both anticipation and doubt.Roman told me over and over that it would be impossible for me to fail him or the pack, but I couldn’t quite bring myself to believe it.The weight of responsibility pressed heavily against my shoulders, but it was softened by the fact that I wasn’t doing this alone. Deira and I had decided to share an office, which suited us perfectly. She was one hell of a fighter who was becoming a true friend, maybe even a sister. The thought warmed me more than I expected it would.Nallah and Adira had also chosen to share an office a

ROMAN.I had waited for this day for as long as I understood that one day I would have my very own Luna, just like Dad had Mom. As a boy, I used to watch them and wonder when I’d have that kind of bond. Something deeper than friendship, stronger than blood. Patience wasn’t always easy. The years dragged on, especially when those around me began finding their mates while I kept waiting, empty-handed. But I never lost faith. Deep down, I knew she was out there. I knew that when I finally found her, every restless night and every ache of waiting would be worth it.And I was right. I had been so fucking right.Because Octavia was worth every second of the wait.She was my perfect match. My Luna. My partner in all things. There wasn’t a single piece of me that didn’t recognize that truth the moment I first held her, and standing there now, watching her take her place as Luna of this pack, I couldn’t imagine a better mate, a better woman, or a better leader to stand at my side.When she acce
