Return of The Blood Wolf: Ashes Rise

Chapter 42 - Draegon

Draegon's presence outside Phoenix's chamber felt both comforting and purposeful. He had promised her that he would be there if she needed him, and he intended to keep that promise. The night was still and quiet, save for the occasional rustle of leaves in the distant forest and the soft breath of the wind.

He leaned against the wall, his obsidian eyes scanning the dimly lit corridor, ever vigilant. The moments of tranquility and solitude like this allowed him to reflect on the peculiar bond he shared with Phoenix. As her anchor, he felt a unique connection to her that transcended the usual dynamics of the pack.

Phoenix's wolf was a force to be reckoned with, strong-willed and fiercely protective. Yet, there were moments when he sensed a vulnerability in her, a struggle she faced within herself. It was during those times that Draegon's presence seemed to offer her solace and reassurance.

He couldn't help but wonder about the depth of their connection and the mysteries that surrounded it. Blood wolves were known for their primal instincts and their loyalty to their anchors. Draegon had heard tales of their unbreakable bonds, but he was only beginning to understand the complexities of it.

As he stood there in the quiet of the night, Draegon's thoughts drifted to Phoenix's radiant gold eyes and the way they could shift to a mesmerizing ombre of crimson and orange when her wolf was close to the surface. It was a visual testament to their connection, an unspoken language that only they shared.

Draegon knew that his presence offered her some level of control and calm, and he was determined to be there for her whenever she needed him. He couldn't deny the growing bond between them, one that was as mysterious as it was undeniable.

For now, all he could do was stand guard outside her chamber, ready to answer her call, and silently ponder the intricacies of the connection that bound them together.
