All Chapters of Rise of the Phoenix Wolf: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

OCTAVIA.I was incredibly nervous about what it would be like when we got to the pack. It was hard to do, but I attempted to taper my nerves down and hide them behind a mask of confidence. ‘Fake is until you make it, darling,’ Storm proclaimed as she strutted around inside of my mind. I couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing that. At least one of us had confidence. Perhaps hers would wear off onto me someday. It felt like things were getting a bit easier with each passing day between her steady presence and Roman’s. Not to mention Creed’s presence. He was such a sweet wolf.Sadly, I couldn’t talk to Creed myself without it either being through Roman or Storm because I didn’t have the pack’s mindlink just yet. Had I been a typical person who joined their pack then I would be able to accept Roman as my Alpha at any point.Apparently, it was tradition for the Luna to officially join the pack, if she wasn’t already a member, while in the presence of said pack. It showed her willingness t

`ROMAN.As calmly as possible, I asked what type of problem it was.“Our convoy was attacked when we were twenty minutes away from the Council grounds. The front and rear vehicles were struck at the same time,” Alpha Gideon said.Octavia’s body tensed up upon hearing that, and so did mine. She had felt off when they left the pack. I had thought that warning them to be careful would do the job, but apparently it didn’t.“Rogues?”There was already a connection established between Alpha Richard and them, so it wouldn’t be too far-fetched for them to be involved.“No, not rogues. There were two groups of vampires that struck us simultaneously. They crashed into the front and rear vehicles, causing them to flip multiple times. The vehicle, carrying Alpha Richard was flipped next. The vampires extracted only Alpha Richard, leaving the rest to their fate. They disappeared before we could stop them,” Alpha Gideon finished explaining to us.My parents and Octavia could all hear the conversati

ROMAN.‘I really want to kiss you right now,’ I told my mate through the newly established mindlink.The look of surprise when she received my link made me smile. The way that her eyes widened was adorable, but it was the desire that I saw in her eyes that garnered my attention.‘Okay.’That was all of the consent that I needed to hear.My hand cupped the back of her neck. My other arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her against me. I wasted no time, crashing my lips to hers. I poured everything that I felt for her into the kiss. All of the emotions that had been building up over the time that I had known her. Then I topped it off with the love that I felt.She responded with just as much enthusiasm. Neither of us cared about the pack that was witnessing our public declaration. This was more than a simple kiss. It was also a statement of our bond, one that showed everyone that we accepted each other and chose each other.It wasn’t until the kiss broke that I realized the crowd was

ROMAN.I loved to see my mate acting playful. Her light laughter and pounding heart were eclipsed by the pure joy that I felt through our bond..And I felt damn good to be a part of what put that beautiful smile on her face. Goddess, she was stunning when she smiled.She hummed in thought, tapping her chin for effect.I wasn’t certain what went through her mind but was curious as hell because her cheeks were flaming as a result. Whatever could she be thinking about?My knee braced on the bed. I reached over to caress her cheek, which she leaned into. “I’m yours in whatever way you want me, whenever that may be, Sweetheart. You’re in control of that. My body belongs to you – every single inch of it is yours. To touch. To Tease. To explore. To own.”Her eyes darkened with desire as I laid it all out. Her lips parted as breathing deepened.“I want to hear your desires. I want to learn what you like or don’t like so that I can give this sexy body of yours everything that it craves,” I mur

ROMAN. I knew that Violet Vittori was powerful, as seen by what she’d been able to do for us in the pack, but I hadn’t anticipated learning everything that we did. Not only was she a very special wolf of the Goddess, but Reika and Storm also knew each other but had a sisterly bond.It was truly amazing to see connections that the Goddess brought together.Another interesting thing was that just like Creed was our mates’ Guardian, Niccolò and Lilac were that for Violet and Reika. They were called Dreatirs and had the same mission – to protect.What worried me was the mention of war on the horizon. That there would be vampires involved. I had never fought them before, but I’d be learning everything about them that I could.Watching Octavia with Ava made me imagine what it’d be like to see her holding our own pup. One day, we would have that, and I could be patient until that time came.We’d only just begun exploring intimacy. She was incredibly gorgeous when she chased her pleasure. It
