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

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

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 st

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.

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

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 dra

OCTAVIA. Tonight was my Luna ceremony.My heart hadn’t stopped its relentless pounding since sunrise, and even now, as the hour drew near, nerves coiled in my stomach. This was supposed to be one of the most important days of my life, a moment that defined me not just as Roman’s mate but officially
Rise of the Phoenix Wolf Chapter 53
ROMAN. Today was Octavia’s Luna ceremony, and for a moment, everything else seemed to fall away. The noise, the bustle, even the anticipation buzzing from the pack. All I could see, all I could feel, was her.I let myself appreciate just how far we had come since the day I found her. My mate. My ev
