All Chapters of Rise Of The Golden Wolf : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The journey to Shadowpine council’s enclave was filled with tension. Even if Lucas, my wolf, urged calmness, my instincts are on edge. The air seems heavier the closer I get to their territory, thick with the weight of the council authority. I should be going with the subject matter, Phoenix but I fear they will try their best to seize her. I need to face them alone. The council’s territory is starkly different from my own. It’s wolf and vibrant, the elder’s land is steep in an eerie stillness. Trees towered line the path, their branches entwine like skeletal fingers. The protective wards surrounding their enclave prick against my senses, warning of their power. I step into the chamber, a massive stone hall, lit up by flickering torches. The council members are sitting in a half-circle, their faces shadowed and unreadable. Their silence is a tactic, meant to unnerve, but I refuse to falter. “Here he is, the Alpha Talon,” Elder Marcellus greet, his voice a blend of authority and co

Kael was being trained to be Alpha, I was trained in other ways. My parents wanted to nurture my supernatural abilities, to see how far they could take me. I spent hours meditating, learning to Channel energy, and connecting with the Veil in ways no one else could. Initially, it felt strange, like I was being set apart from the rest of the pack members. But as time went on, I grew to love it. It made me feel free because I felt I didn’t have to go through what Kael had to go through to become Alpha.“He sounds incredible,” Phoenix says, and I nod. “Yes. Kael’s destiny was to become Alpha. He bore the weight of our lineage, the one who was supposed to lead this pack into the future. I was meant to just support him, with my abilities. To strengthen his leadership and I was fine with that. Kael and I had an understanding, we were going to do just fine. We would have worked it out together, no matter our roles.”Our parents made sure Kael was adequately trained for his future role. His t

I follow the enforcer to the howling ground, the area buzzing with raw energy as though the land itself is alive. I see Talon standing at the edge. I recount how he’s chosen me when it would have been easier not to. He even fought for me in the council of elders meeting, even if it meant developing a restrained relationship with them. I won’t pretend like I don’t see it, and I can feel that it means a lot to my wolf too. Our gaze met and his lips formed a faint smile, though I could still see through to the seriousness in his eyes. “Good you are here, we will begin now.” He says, in a low but firm tone. “Like I said, we will start here in this howling ground,” Talon says, his voice commanding. “This ground is steeped in the pack’s history, and its energy will help you with stability as you learn to wield your power.”I glance around, feeling the faint hum of the land under my feet. “So how do we begin?”Talon steps closer, his gaze locked in mine. “First, we will test your limits. I

The lair is calmer than I expected, yet it carries an air of power and tradition that leaves me in awe. Gaining access into the lair and being with Talon closely feels like stepping into a new chapter of my life, one where every choice, every decision, carries a weight of purpose and responsibility. I am now Moonstone Pack’s Luna. A title I've never dreamed of holding, yet now it feels as though this is what I was made for. My first morning in the Lair begins with sunlight filtering through the tall windows, casting golden patterns on the stone walls. Talon had already risen because his side of the bed was empty but it felt warm. I can feel his presence through the bond, a comforting hum that assures me he isn't far, I find Talon in the training yard, sparring with Hosea. Watching him move with such accuracy and control is fascinating. Lucas, his wolf seems to come through his every motion, giving him strength and grace that is undeniable. When his eyes met mine, his expression ea

It's the morning after our mating and one I’ll never forget. I woke up wrapped in Talon’s arms, his warmth a stead reassurance that I was safe, loved, and exactly where I need to be. The bond between us has shifted and deepened. I can feel it in every fiber of my being. Talia purrs contentedly within me, her voice mingling with Lucas through the bond we now share.As I stretch lazily against Talon, my mind wanders back to the night before. The way Talon touched me with both reverence and intensity. The way his voice, rough but gentle, had uttered my name like it was sacred. It is more than just a connection, it’s the merging of souls, a moment that solidifies everything the bond is meant to be. Now, even as the morning sunlight spills through the windows, I can feel the magnetic pull of his presence, a constant hum that urges me closer to him. We are inseparable, not just emotionally but physically, as though being apart for too long will unravel the connection we’ve worked so hard t
