ROMAN.

“Did everyone check in?”

“Mhm,” Octavia murmured. “All safe rooms are accounted for. Dani, Nallah, and Adira made their last sweeps before locking the doors. Deria has locked down the hospital. Nothing will get there unless we permit it.”

“Good,” I said, my voice low.

There were some patients who couldn’t be moved out of the hospital and into a safe room, so we made it into one large safe room. Deira’s group was tasked with protecting it. Said group was made up of powerful Fae and werewolves alike. The building was fortified with every kind of magic that we could think of using, but we were leaving nothing to chance. It was a common tactic for enemies to eliminate the sick and injured, which was why hospitals were often targeted.

We also needed somewhere away from the fighting to treat our warriors.

I sighed, glad to hear that everything was going to plan thus far. Well, as much as could be expected as we prepared for waves of demons.

There was a clear advantage of seeing the bo

  • Rise of the Phoenix Wolf   Chapter 66

    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

    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

    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

    STORM.My eyelids fluttered a few times before they opened up fully. I was met by the soft light from the sun, a light that certainly didn’t belong to our bedroom. The sight made my breath catch. I was laying down in a garden but not just any garden. I didn’t need anyone to tell me where I was. My soul knew.The Goddess’ garden.My blood ran cold. Previous memories of standing here flooded through my mind. Always before I was called to rise or after I’d fallen already fallen. Unfortunately, my kind remembered our previous lives, unlike most wolves. It was a blessing and a curse at the same time. Case in point, I remembered each time I stood in this ethereal place.And if I was here again now…My throat tightened. Did something happen? Had somehow died? It shattered a part of my heart. Oh, Goddess. Tavi. Roman. Creed.“Peace, My Child.”The soft, melodic voice came from behind me. I didn’t need to look behind me to know who was speaking because her words resonated within my soul and vib
