Novel & Cerita Warrior's Pride

Their vastness and aura were more than enough to bring men to their knees in surrender. That was the true Stormrider’s army. Destroyer of realms. The pride of the North. Even I, who had lived among these men, knew what they were capable of. I had heard the stories of burning towns and how they marched through the South like a tide of fire. They were gods of war wrapped in mortal skin, and I was expected to stand among them like I belonged. Just like my father who currently stood in front of me. Varek Valewind was like a king among them, regal in his gleaming obsidian armor, the golden wolf etched across his chest catching the light.

Some of us have never experienced battles we weren’t sure of winning, and this certainly feels like one of those battles. “Warriors!” My dad finally speaks up, his voice loud and commanding. “Some of you here have never known the true despair of battle; some of you have never fought hard until it feels like you’re going to take your last breath; some of you here do not know true pain. But everyone standing in line has been carefully chosen because you possess skills that far surpass those of mere men. You are about to face a threat far bigger than what any of us can imagine, but your skills, which you have worked so hard to sharpen, are what will save you today. Trust your instincts and trus

Expecting me to force obedience through Alpha command. Through pheromones. Through dominance. I stared at them for several long seconds. Then slowly... I turned away from them. Instead, I looked toward those who remained standing firm and something fierce twisted inside my chest. Loyalty. Courage. Honor. I stepped toward the balcony edge and spoke clearly. “Thank you.” The remaining warriors looked startled. “For choosing what is right.” Silence lingered briefly before one warrior suddenly slammed his fist against his chest. “We fight with Alpha Lucen until the end!”

It was heartwarming to be esteemed without malice. "I watched you fight and I must say that I was quite impressed with you." I said, praising him. "I'm glad to hear that, it means so much coming from you" He said levelly. It seemed he was used to such praises and didn't make a good deal of it. I nodded in satisfaction. A good warrior had to be humble. Pride made rash men on battlefields." "How would you like to serve me further by being my personal guard," I said, studying his face to see his reaction.

He turned towards us, “Of course, every year we celebrate those who have worked hard to gather unbelievable scores. This year they are five. Firstly, the Raven wood pack’s very own Alpha Roman, Chief Fenrir from the Central Academy, Warwick Kingdom’s beta warrior Jasper, the Ore Merchant, Damon and finally, Warwick’s Kingdom very own beloved, Princess Ariana.” With each mention of our names, we were obligated to step forward and wave or bow. Damon did none, unsurprisingly. I was the last to be mentioned so I stepped out, shell shocked by the amount of support I’d gotten. There was a chant of 'The Warrior Queen' which did make me extremely shy and red but was really sweet regardless. Their pr

One particularly displeased young warrior retorted, "Who said we needed your help? Sameer could have handled those monsters on his own. It was only a matter of time!" "Respect, please," Sameer intervened quickly, then smiled at Adrian, saying, "I apologize for his rudeness." Adrian waved it off. "It's alright. Young ones can be spirited. By the way, may I ask your name and faction?" Facing Adrian's inquiry directly, the warrior didn't hesitate. "We are warriors from Valor Supreme. I'm Sameer Asghar, and these are my juniors."

Just a glance into their eyes, I can see the pride and admiration in them. My wolf's presence commands respect, her unwavering bravery serving as an inspiration to all who stand witness. In this moment, the warriors have realized the true strength that lays within me. A strength born from a deep well of pain, channeled into a relentless pursuit of justice. Today, I am seeking retribution. Not just for myself but everyone who has been hurt by Connor and his depraved backer, Vornt.

The words echoed quietly in my mind, each one settling deeper than the last. I pushed myself up from the bed, energy returning to my body in a way I hadn’t felt in days. Then I made my way outside. The cool air hit my skin as I stepped into the yard. And for a moment, I just stood there, watching and taking it all in. My pack moved around me, each person doing their part. Warriors carried the last of the injured. Others cleared the field, their movements tired but steady. There was no complaining or sign of hesitation. They had fought and they had held their ground. Pride filled my chest. They were strong.

If you fail, the wolves of this land shall follow another! Auren's eyes gleamed, not with malice, but with controlled fire. He walked slowly up to the warrior, his movements calculated. "Then we shall see," he replied, his voice even, assured, yet respectful. "I do not fight for pride. I fight for my people, for my family, for the truth that strength without purpose is nothing.

a deep voice came from the door, “they can feel you eavesdropping.” Adam had sensed his beta, Everest, before he spoke. “I don’t think they care.” “Your job as an alpha isn’t if they care, it’s their survival,” Everest stepped in, “and every warrior that walks with you into darkness knows how much you fight for the pack.” Adam pulled his thoughts away from the people he’d sworn to protect with his life, he turned to his cousin and grinned, “are you a poet now Everest?” “Not yet but if you keep sulking,” he teased, “I’ll go Shakespeare on your ass to keep your head on straight.”
