Return of The Blood Wolf: Ashes Rise

Chapter 36 - Draegon

The encounter with Avalor had shaken me, revealing the depths of his ambition and the lengths to which he was willing to go to seize control of the pack. It was clear that he saw me as a pawn in his scheme, a means to an end. I had entered this pack with a hidden agenda of my own, but I was no longer sure of where my loyalties truly lay.

As I retreated to my chamber, the weight of the situation pressed upon me. I had come to this pack seeking refuge and an opportunity to build a new life, but now I found myself entangled in a web of power struggles and deception. The bond between Phoenix and me had grown stronger with each passing day, and I couldn't deny the magnetic pull that drew me to her, both as a blood wolf and as a woman.

I had sensed the primal urge within Phoenix, the instinctual need to obey me without question. It was a phenomenon that intrigued and concerned me in equal measure. Could it be that I was her anchor, the one who could soothe her wild side and command her obedience? The thought was both thrilling and terrifying.

My mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions as I pondered the path that lay ahead. Avalor's ambitions and Phoenix's unwavering loyalty to her wolf had thrown our pack into turmoil. It was a precarious situation, and I knew that the choices I made in the coming days would have far-reaching consequences.

In the stillness of my chamber, I considered my options. Should I align myself with Avalor, playing the role he had envisioned for me, and use my influence to shape the pack's destiny? Or should I follow my instincts, embracing the bond I shared with Phoenix, and seek a different path?

One thing was certain: the challenges ahead would test my resolve and force me to confront the true nature of my feelings for Phoenix. The bond between us was undeniable, and whether by fate or circumstance, we were now bound together in a struggle for control, power, and ultimately, our own destinies.
