The Broken Wolf Novels & Stories

My wolf went quiet, still, staring. I whispered without thinking, “How am I looking at you?” He let out a sharp laugh, bitter and broken. “Like I’m broken. Like you finally saw through the bullshit and all you found was a fucked-up mess.” My throat locked. My hand twitched like I wanted to touch him, to reach across that line, but I froze. My wolf pushed against me, whining, torn. “You’re not broken,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “You’re… you. And you don’t have to hide from me.”

He was at my side in a flash and held my hands when I heard the crash behind me. The motorbike. It crashed into the pole behind us. The biker fell just some inches away from me without a helmet. The crimson liquid flowed from his forehead and painted his whole face, red. I was never a fan of horror or gore. That was it. Slowly my eyes felt too weak to stay open to see anything happening. My ears lost all the power to hear any sound. The feeling of holding the puppy in my arms was also gone as soon as I met the darkness.

My breath came in ragged gasps, fury and despair coiling inside me like venom. “You…” I choked out, my voice a guttural snarl. “You broke me. How could you do this to me?” She didn’t deny it. But she wasn’t finished. “To bring you back,” she whispered, “there had to be an equivalent exchange.” Another vision. My wolf. Fenris. He stood tall and proud, his gray fur shimmering under the moonlight as he howled to the sky in excitement. Then… he was gone. Fading like ash scattered by the wind.

Those months spent in the darkness, powerless as my assailant, always cloaked in thick shadow, tore at my flesh and shattered my bones, had irrevocably fucked with my mind. It had broken something deep within me, and it had taken me quite some time to realize that I liked myself better this way. I liked being broken. What mattered even more was that the little wolf liked me this way too. There was darkness in her, secrets buried in her heart that I was determined to uncover. On this front, I could be patient. I could wait until she trusted me enough to bear the fragments of her broken heart. Only then would I claim them and meld them into my own.

"Normal wolves awaken their wolves through coming of age, through the moon's blessing. But Wolfless wolves like you? Your wolves wake through trauma, through extreme emotion, through life-or-death situations." "I've had plenty of those," I said bitterly. "Not the right kind." She leaned closer. "Your wolf is waiting for you to stop being afraid of her. Stop thinking of yourself as broken or wrong. When you truly believe you deserve to exist, when you raise your head high and claim your right to live without apology—that's when she'll come." "How do you know this?"

I was leaving bloodstains on his expensive leather seats. "I am sorry," I said. "About the mess—" "I have had worse in this car." His tone suggested he wasn't joking. "The blood will clean. Whether you survive the silver poisoning is another question." "I will heal. Eventually. My wolf is just—" "Silent," he finished. "Yes. I noticed. Unusual for a rejected wolf to lose their animal completely. Usually, the wolf survives even when the human breaks." "I am not broken—" "You are barely conscious, poisoned with silver, bleeding profusely, and being hunted by both your former pack and a rogue band. If that is not broken, I am curious what your definition of the word is."

“Moon forgive us, what have we become.” And in that moment, as the last echo of the joined howl tore into the sky, the moon itself split with a crack like shattering stone, a scar of darkness streaking across its pale surface, a wound that every wolf felt in their bones. The silence that followed was worse than the sound, heavy and absolute, and when Fenric lowered his head his eyes blazed with fire that no wolf could deny. His voice, quiet yet immovable, carried across the fractured Pack. “The Cycle is broken.”

My wolf once again let out a low growl warning him, but there was no use in her doing so because he was a rogue, and they never backed down from a fight. Just as I had predicted, once again the rogue didn’t heave her warning, and this time he lunged for us, and I could feel my wolf bracing for the impact, as she too wasn’t about to back down to him. It wasn’t until he hit us with so much force, did I realize how much bigger and stronger his wolf was. The impact sent my wolf flying back a good ten feet, landing with a thud against a fallen tree, and my body instantly began to ache in pain. As my wolf took a deep breath, another pain shot through me, and I realized quickly that the impact must

The wolf drops and doesn’t get back up. The third wolf sees this and tries to run back toward the broken window but the golden wolf is already moving and it catches the gray wolf by the back leg and I hear the snap from across the room. The gray wolf yelps and tries to crawl away with its broken leg dragging and the golden wolf follows at a walk like it has all the time in the world and I should close my eyes but I can’t because I need to see this, I need to understand what I’m dealing with.

" She was here In the warehouse! “ he roars. “We had her!" They get into action, they turn into the wolves and start sniffing and running. They are moving towards the cabin. They are going to find her. All our sacrifice on planning would be for nothing! Me and my wolf are agitated My wolf surges forward in my mind, desperate. “We might be able to reach her,” he suggests. “The mate bond…” “It is broken…” I reply agitatedly “Yes, even broken, something might remain.
