Awakened Outlaw Novels & Stories

Ayla’s POV Waking up in my own bed with my three mates around me was the best feeling in the world. It almost made me forget about the shit storm that was my life right now. If I could stay in this little bubble, I would, but I can’t. “Awake already, Beautiful”, Archer’s voice reached me. I looked over at him, lounging in one of my armchairs. His top had been discarded on the floor somewhere in the night, and he was left in just his trousers. He was looking nothing less than God-like as always.

none of us want to stay here and growing up is the only way out. Your Awakening is a bit like graduation in a sense. A passing from child to adult and normally where you would find your place, your rank, in the pack, and get a mate. I have no delusions that it means anything of the sort for any of us turning tonight. Of which there are four from the home of unwanteds, and I hear maybe three from the packs around. Just a handful of kids trying to break free, find their path, and all in the great presence of the entire 'Packdom'.

But I did, and that made it my weapon. --- The next morning, I set my plan into motion. I approached the Black Blemish rogues, their camp hidden deep within the forest. They eyed me warily as I stepped into their midst, their loyalty to Petal evident in their guarded expressions. “I come with an offer,” I began, my voice steady but laced with urgency. “You all know Ansel’s history. He’s the reason you were cast out, the reason you became rogues. I can give you the chance to avenge that.”

“But we can’t keep running.” He accepted the water, eyes on the flowing creek beside their camp. “Our bond is deeper now,” he said quietly. “Dreams shouldn’t hold so much power over us—nor nightmares.” He set the skin aside and stood, wrapping his cloak around her shoulders. “We face them awake.” Vera watched him. His wolf’s predatory tension eased in the soft light, but the man beneath still bore scars—both physical and psychic. “Then let’s find the outlaws’ enclave. Selene promised sanctuary. We rest there. Then we plan a strike against Skyforge Citadel.”
