Alle Kapitel von REBIRTH OF THE STORMWOLF: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Eighteen Years AgoThe Shadow Pack burned that night; the storm came first, then came the lightning. It split the sky in two; thunder shook the very foundation of the pack, like the growl of a vengeful god. The rain lashed out, falling heavily, but it didn't quench the fire swallowing the packhouse whole. The flames devoured the Alpha's mansion and everything that stood in their way. Hidden in the hollow oak tree is a child with jet-black hair clutching a leather-bound book to her chest. The pages smelled like burnt ink and blood; the cries of the people filled the air. "Run, Eliana!"Her mother's voice, filled with pain, echoed in her mind. "Run, don't look back!" She screamed. The child scrambled off the oak tree with tears almost blinding her; she made a run for it. The white-haired woman with icy silver eyes wielding a flaming sword appeared in the ruin. "Where is she?" she barked at Kimberly, the fated mate of Alpha Orin Stormwolf. The Alpha was gutted open on his thron

The sun penetrated through the window of the small, rundown room where I slept. It was casting a golden hue on my body. I got up, sitting on the floor, stretching my body. I felt so sore from the cold cement pressing on my bones all through the night.The ragged blue blanket offered little or no comfort, but I didn't mind; I wasn't supposed to have comfort, not after what I had done. My name is Eliana Paw, a rogue, and I have been for the past three years. I can't believe how quickly time flies; it felt like yesterday, the very day Karen died. The day my life changed for the worse. The guilt and nightmares had kept me awake at night all these years. Reminding me constantly never to be happy. But last night was worse; I couldn't shake off what I saw earlier. A familiar rustling outside my window caught my attention. The other rogues were stirring. I rubbed my eyes when I heard a coarse voice call me from outside. But pretended not to hear. Most of the rogues don't know me. I hunt w

I slowly dropped the cracked mirror on the dresser. With my gaze still fixed on the hole in the wall, I took one final look at the hole, and my curiosity wouldn't let me stay still. The hole was narrow, and my shoulders could barely pass through it, but the draft was to confirm that there was something ahead. I slid in, but the passage was tighter than expected, the air thick with dust and ancient furniture. The deeper I went, the colder it got; my heart was pounding, and my wolf growled in distress. There were no lights, no sound, just my bare feet padding against the stone floor and my heart racing. A few steps further and I reached it, the metallic door I had seen, but up close it was a rusty iron door, framed with stones. I hesitated for a second, scared of what lay beyond the closed door. When I couldn't wait anymore, I touched the handle, giving it a little push, and it slowly creaked open. Moaning on the hinges like a growling beast, long undisturbed, immediately the doo

The wind howled that night like a wounded beast, echoing the screams trapped in my throat. Rain lashed my bare skin. Each drop felt like a needle on my skin.My feet were bare and numb against the wet grass; the world before me was a blur with swaying trees and shadows.Just like my future: dark, endless, and uncertain. Tears escaped my eyes, mixing with the droplets of rain. As if the sky itself wept for my battered soul.Their faces and voices haunted me, waiting to swallow me whole.Everywhere I turned, all I saw was them: Damon's smirk and Karen's cruel laugh. Their voices slither into my head like a venomous snake.The word "stepsister" is echoing in my head nonstop like a curse. Waiting to claim my soul.Burying my face in between my legs, I hugged myself tightly with trembling hands. In a bid to hold the shattered pieces of my heart together.My body ached from the betrayal and rejection I had suffered. But it was my soul that bled. I had given him everything—my trust, my body,

The crowd blurred around me, faces masked with joy and voices lifted in celebration, but all I could see was him. The figure is standing still in a sea of movement, wearing a cloak to hide his features. Staring directly at me, from across the courtyard of Damon's pack house. I thought it had disappeared earlier in the dark garden, only for it to reappear now. I guess it's all fun for him, chasing him around the pack house like some lunatic. He shouldn't have recognized me, because just like other servants, I was wearing a cap to cover my hair. "Fuck, the nose mask must have given me away."The moment our eyes met I felt something sharp twist inside my gut just like earlier. Maybe familiarity, or recognition. But I swear I haven't seen him before today. I was still trying to figure out its deal when it suddenly turned and ran. I chased after it, praying it's a vengeful spirit after Damon and Karen to kill them both. I slipped through the crowd like a ghost, the layers of my cl
