Novel & Cerita Wren & Wolf

Not accept it. I forcefully opened the door into his supposed soon to be matrimonial room and saw my brother and my supposed Luna all tangled up in bed, moaning like their life depended on it, I was enraged, I growled and pounced on them, I was in agony, I could feel my wolf cry out loud inside me, he must have felt it too now that we are both seeing it play in front of us. I removed my brother from the bed first with full force, when they didn't seem to acknowledge my presence.

"What's that?" "What's what? Oh, the wolf?"

"You look better today. Less like you're about to collapse from sheer stubbornness." "I'm working on it." Wren watched the younger wolves for a while in comfortable silence, remembering, distantly, the particular exhausted determination of her own early months at Nightshade — the roof repairs, the water hauling, the desperate need to prove she belonged somewhere that had never once, in six years since, actually required proving. "Do you ever think about what you want, Milo? After all this. After the Moonless, whatever happens with the mountain."

Her hands were shaking. The turned wolves. We want to talk. We want to negotiate. Cass and Luan exchanged a look. Negotiate what? Luan asked. The woman looked at her. Her eyes were brown and desperate. A new pack. One without Julian. One without Marcus. One where turned wolves aren't slaves. Luan studied her. What's your name? Wren. How many of you are there? Wren looked at the trees. Shadows moved between the trunks. Wolves. Dozens of them.

"Give me the full correspondence file." He slid it across the desk. She picked it up. Stood. "Reyn." He looked at her. "The wolf who's still in the pack. Wren." She paused. "He has a family here?" "A mate. Two cubs." "Then we handle it carefully." She held his gaze. "He made bad choices. He didn't build a war. The distinction matters." Reyn held her gaze for a moment. Then, with the expression of a man confirming something he already knew: "Yes. It does."

I muttered under my breath. That family was really something else. I couldn’t even stay mad at Halle anymore. But still, I couldn’t ignore the fact that the rest of the pack members would go crazy if they discovered that Halle didn’t have a wolf. She was technically their Luna. And they wouldn’t want someone without a wolf to lead them. They just didn’t have to find out about it. “What are you going to do with me?” Halle’s voice trembled, her eyes filled with a mixture of guilt and remorse.

"This is where we breed new wolves for the pack, Wren. Admittedly it's a bit of an archaic system, but it has worked for our pack for hundreds of years. And so the unmated she-wolves who are willing to bring forth our next generation voluntarily submit themselves to the program. Or, if a healthy she-wolf is caught trespassing on our territory, then she is brought here rather than being executed." Wren's mind was swirling with confusion over his very first set of words. "How do you know my name?" He wiggled his eyebrows playfully. "I'm the Alpha, Wren. I know everything. Despite my earlier questions, I know that you signed up to be here."

“ The truth. About your wolf. About your bloodline. And about the prophecy they are trying so hard to bury.” ***** The next morning,I awoke to chaos. I dragged myself outside. Curiosity overshadowed my exhaustion. The scene before me left me speechless,the air was thick with smoke,and distant howls echoed across the pack,many wolves were rushing towards the borders. “What's happening?” I asked a nearby wolf. “Rogues.” He said breathlessly. “They have breached the eastern perimeter”. My heart dropped to my foot. Rogues were a rare and dangerous threat. Feral wolves who attack without a reason or prior warning.

"I'm sure she'll have plenty of time to enjoy the sights in the future. For now, it's best we get back home. I'm sure we're all tired." So, does that mean I won't be kept holed up inside for the rest of my fertile years? Glancing back behind Wren, a large black wolf waits patiently with his eyes focused directly on me. His tail swats once while the rest of his body is statue-still—almost as if waiting for something to happen and preparing himself for it. There's no point in running away now.

A rustle of snow. A shadow moved. Then— A lone wolf stepped out of the darkness. Massive. Black fur. Eyes glowing silver. Rylan stiffened instantly. “Not possible.” Kade swore. “That can’t be—” Lyra’s heartbeat tripped. The wolf lowered its head… in a bow. “What is that?” she whispered. Rylan’s voice was barely human. “A sentinel.” Lyra’s breath caught. Sentinels were ancient wolves said to serve only one bloodline—one house. A house believed extinct.
