Chapter 11: A name and a past

I look into his eyes, and his expression is not what I expected; it is hard. His eyes still bearing holes into mine, his brows furrowing together relentlessly. Something about his gaze left an unsettling feeling within me, but I didn’t give up. I fixed my gaze on his hard stare, patiently waiting for him to lash on me. I’ve been here for a couple of days, and Talon’s energy is different from anything I have ever felt. It is strong, firm, and raw. As he continued to give me death stares, I matched his energy and retorted with a stern gaze. Which is unusual; I’m not a weak wolf by any means, but I never would have stared so boldly into an alpha’s eye like this. “It’s been weeks,” he finally says; his tone is low and masked with irritation; he isn’t even trying to hide it. “We don’t run a charity organization here. Now, tell me, Who are you, and why did you become a rogue?”His tone stirs the wolf inside of me, and I feel that indignant fire rising within. Even if I’ve gone through the

Chapter 12: Clash of fate

The finality in his tone is harsh, and it cut through me like a blade, and Talia let out a wounded whimper, dropping her initial rage. The anger I felt has been replaced by something graver, rejection. I feel it spread through my whole body like a wildfire, leaving a deep ache in my chest. I look up to meet his gaze, desperately searching for any hint of sympathy and understanding, but there’s none. His face is void of any; it’s deep green eyes are cold and unyielding. Though I sense something else beyond the hard exterior, as if his wolf is against him. Realisation begins to settle in me, and it leaves me breathless. I’ve finally become a castaway. I was rejected back home, and now I’m rejected here too. My wolf stirs up in agony, and I’m fighting so hard to not break. Just as I am thinking about my ill fate, Hosea steps in; she stands in between Talon and me. Her eyes full of indignation as she comes face to face with Talon. “You cannot throw her out,” she says in the softest yet p

Chapter 13: Bound by Fate

Talon‘s words settle down in my chest, and I also think back to Hosea’s words. My heartbeat quickens, and I try to process the whole message, Hosea’s satisfactory look, and Talon’s terrifying rage. “Talon dear, I have stood by you all these years. Do you think I’ll lie to you now?” Hosea’s voice breaks through my thoughts; her voice is steady and her gaze rests sharply on Talon. “I also wish there’s a way out, but you cannot fight fate. Fighting fate comes with its penalty, and it is disastrous. You know better; you know that destiny cannot be altered, and this right here is your destiny.”I could feel Talon’s frustration as he shifted uncomfortably. I wait for his response, but he doesn’t respond. Though his eyes are blaring with a thousand questions, his jaw tightens, and his body is rigid, as if trying to brace himself against something he should not believe. I feel for him as much as I feel for myself and watch him shift more in frustration. “I said it, didn’t I? I told you she

Chapter 14: Tethered Souls

The sound of the door reverberated behind me as I slammed it shut. My fist clenched tightly as I walked down the corridor, my chest tight with the weight of what Hosea said. “You are bonding already.” Those words lingered in my mind, and it keeps ringing in my head unrelentless. My wolf keeps stirring uneasily, but I shoved the burning sensation aside, focusing on my anger and confusion at the moment. I don’t want this; I didn’t ask for any of it. Phoenix. Her name alone set my teeth on edge. She wasn’t supposed to be a part of my world; she’s not supposed to be here. She just stumbled into my territory. A rogue, that's what she is. Phoenix is trouble to me but now, Hosea’s words fill me with even more rage over a fact I’ve feared since the moment I saw her in the forest. She is the golden wolf, the one tied to me in a bond I didn’t ask for.My boots are pounding heavily against the stone floor as I round a corner. My mind is racing non-stop. Hosea says the bond has already begun, b

Chapter 15: Lines in the Sand

Days pass in an uneasy blur, and I still hold my resolve firmly. The weight of my decision was killing me, and the tension inside simmered just below the surface, my wolf stirring restlessly but subdued. I spent nights patrolling the edges of my territory; the cool evening air did nothing to clear the storm of thoughts in my head. I can’t keep avoiding Hosea. It’s morning, and as the first light shines through the horizon, I stand outside her quarters, rehearsing the wording of my decision. The morning air is crisp and heavy with the scent of pine and frost. I knock at her door once, my fist firm against the weathered wood of Hosea’s door.“Come in,” Hosea’s steady voice called out.I push the door open, and in a minute, I am in, and she’s seated at a small table. Hosea’s gaze lifted to meet mine, curiosity flashing through her soft eyes. She gestured towards a second chair, but I didn’t sit. “I’ve made a decision,” I say, trying to keep my voice low and steady. “Phoenix can stay,

Chapter 16: Rejection and Acceptance

As I sat by the fire, watching its soft glow shine through the territory, Hosea sat with me, her calm presence as steady as the forest that surrounds us.“So, Phoenix,” Hosea began, her eyes soft and sparkling and voice soothing. “Talon has made a decision and he wants you to stay with the rest of the pack. It’s for your safety.”“Is it for my safety or his safety?” I swallow hardHosea raises an eyebrow and later offers the faintest smile upon realizing it. “You know it’s both. You are his mate. You are rare and powerful. And because you pose a future threat, Talon is being protective of his pack territory.”Protective. An interesting way to describe his domineering approach. But I know Hosea is just being honest, with no malice, only understanding. I fiddle with the hem of my dress before speaking again.“I know I don’t belong here, so I won’t want my identity to hurt the pack. I don’t even know how I’ll act towards them; what if they find out?”“No, what ifs?” Hosea cut in. “Just

Chapter 17: Shadows and Bonds

“Hi…my name is Phoenix and yes, I’m new.” I finally find my voice A lithe werewolf with shoulder-length auburn curls in micro locs, a mikly chocolate complexion, and an easy grin that seemed to set her apart from the others. Mira came to be during a break, holding out water like a peace offering. “Thought so.” She plopped down beside me on the bench, I noticed her bright hazel eyes full of curiosity. “I’ve noticed you around, and I also noticed you are always so quiet.”“Hmm…yeah,” I replied, trying to sound casual and not giving off anything. She tilted her head, studying me for a moment before grinning. “Don’t worry, you’ll get used to being here soon. The key is to find your people.”Find my people. Those words echo in my head. “You find the ones that make this place feel like home. That way, it gets easier because you are not trying to figure it out alone.” Mira continued.Mira’s words settle deep within me. Since I got here, I have felt a spark of connection with someone asi

Chapter 18: The Shift

One by one, everyone begins to shift to their wolves; smooth furs begin to emerge with effortless grace. I watch the beautiful display in awe. No matter how many times I see wolves shift, it will always be magical. To be a wolf is to carry an element of magic in you, but my heart pounds heavily as I see them all watch me expectantly. Talia is different now. I feel it, and I wonder if that change will be obvious to them. Will they know that I am different when they see my wolf? “Let’s do this, Phoenix.” My wolf, Talia, whispered in my mind again. The sound of her voice is soothing, but I couldn’t miss the power it holds.The change started; my body trembled as I begin to shift into my wolf form. Fur replacing skin, and my limbs reforming until they were standing on four paws. I hear close gasps as my shift is happening. I anticipated their shock. Talia emerges in her full glory, a golden wolf, shining uncontrollably under the full moonlight. First came the gasp, then murmurs fill the

CHAPTER 19: The weight of Power

My body burned from the inside out as if I were engulfed in fire. I hear Mira scream from what sounds like a distance as she races to my curled-up and trembling form. “Phoenix! What happened to you?" She exclaimed, crashing beside me quickly. Her hands feel warm against my now-damp skin. I'm nearly passed out, but I can hear her subconsciously.“Hang on, I’m calling for help.”I was half conscious when Mira’s voice sounded near again; her voice had an urgent tone to it, heavy footsteps, and then the sensation of being carried. “She’s burning up badly.” I hear another familiar voice. “This is no ordinary fever.”“Let’s get her to the healer’s cottage,” Talon’s familiar voice ordered. His mouthwatering smell nearly consumed me. His voice is calm, but I could sense the tension radiating from it. Hours later, I wake up in a cool, dark room. I feel better than earlier; the fever had lessened, but my body still feels heavy, like I was wrestling with an invisible weight. I could hear vo

Chapter 20: Valley of decision

Talia tries to force her way out and take control. Ordinarily, with all I have been through today, I should be too weak to fight her, but I cannot afford to embarrass myself with Talon as I fight. Talia begins to connect with his wolf as Talon rages, ”Talia, please.” I pleaded in my mind with my wolf to stop the bonding. Hosea and Mira exchanged glances, and as if on cue, Mira left the room after gazing between the three of us. Hosea stays, and I feel grateful. “Talon, you have to calm down,” Hosea whispered.But Talon is frozen and looking pale, staring at me like he’s just seen a ghost. He points at me and asks Hosea in a shocked whisper, “Why can I hear her already? Why is her wolf speaking to mine? We are not bonded! This shouldn’t be happening!” He yells the last sentences.Well, she’s a pack member now; she is bonded with the pack, which means she is bonded with you one way or another, so whether you like it or not, the bonding process has started. “This is what I was avoidi
