The Rise of the Half-Rank Wolf Chapter 9
AriI stood up, trembling, in front of the mirror. My gaze fixed on the stranger staring back at me, and I forced a bitter smile onto my lips. My fingers traced the shortened strands of my once-long hair, and I hated the way it looked. It served as a stark reminder of the humiliation and loss I had endured because of my stepmother. I couldn’t help but wonder when this series of misfortune would come to an end, silently pleading with the moon goddess.Tears welled up and streamed down my cheeks, distorting the reflection I could no longer bear to confront. My hair, once a source of pride and dignity, had become just another casualty of my stepmother's cruelty. She had taken everything from me—my family, my happily ever after, the dream of a fairytale wedding, the loyal people who had faithfully served us, and even my deceased father's honor. The Ironwolf and my malevolent stepmother had left me with nothing. I felt utterly depleted, my will to live extinguished.Sinking to the floor, I

KristoffMy room felt like a prison, suffocating me with its confinement. The house arrest imposed upon me was driving me mad. An intense desire to break free and see Ari was gnawing at my every thought.I needed to find a way to get out of this room. And fast."Your mate is waiting, Kristoff. How can you afford not to find a way to get out of here?!" Ivar, my wolf, complained within the depths of my mind. I tweaked my hair in frustration as his words added to my distress."Ivar, trust me, if there was a way out, I would've taken it already. Guards are stationed all over, and this window might as well be sealed shut."Frustration welled up within me, eventually finding release in the forceful slam of my hand against the table. "I hold the title of Jarl and the crown alpha to this pack, yet here I am, confined like a prisoner in my own room!"Ivar acknowledged my exasperation, recognizing the severity of the predicament.The strong wish to be with Ari filled me with sorrow. Since the b

AriI kept my gaze fixed on the ground, avoiding any semblance of eye contact with the imposing omega leader. Jackie stood beside me, equally guilty for allowing me to skip my duties without reporting it. The omega leader's piercing stare made it clear that we were in trouble, and in this place, we couldn't afford even the slightest misstep."May I remind you that your privileged life is over? So why are you still acting like one? Don't you think it is unfair for the other omegas here that you skip work?"Jackie and I exchanged uneasy glances."I apologize, madam. But it was a decision I made. Jackie asked me to work that day, but I was the one who refused because I was not feeling well. I will take responsibility for my mistake. Just spare Jackie because she is not at fault here," I spoke, humbly.But the omega leader responded with a sly smirk. “So you think your little apology can change everything? You’re wrong, half-rank! This isn’t your father’s house! You need to work here just

Ari"Where have you been, half-rank?"I struggled to keep my arms steady, fear coursing through my veins. The threat of the whip loomed large, and I couldn't help but glance nervously at it, wondering if it would be used against me."I did what you told me, madam. I went straight to that stream to fetch water," I replied, my voice trembling but attempting to hold a semblance of composure. The whip in the omega leader's hand cast a shadow over the conversation, making it hard for me to concentrate."You useless slave! Do not think of me as a fool!" she spat out. Fueled by anger, she lashed the whip across my arm, and the pain shot through me. I winced in pain as the omega leader continued to lash her whip. The other slaves paused their work, their eyes widening with alarm as they gathered around me.Another slave, Jenna, stepped forward, her face full of contempt. “How dare you lie!” she exclaimed while pointing her finger at me. She addressed the crowd of omegas around us. “I saw her

AriI jolted awake, the sudden knock on the door shattering the quiet of the night. Confused about who it might be, I stumbled to my feet, and as I swung the door open, my eyes widened in disbelief. Standing before me was the omega leader, the last person I expected to see outside my door at this ungodly hour. But something was different; her usually harsh features were softened. She was out of the usual resentment and hatred that had become synonymous with her presence.For a moment, I was left speechless, grappling with the strangeness of the situation. It was well past midnight, and the omega leader had sought me out. My mind raced with questions as I tried to fathom her purpose for this unexpected visit.“Greetings,” she murmured, glancing cautiously left and right through the dimly lit hallway. Her voice was a whisper, and I couldn't help but wonder about the urgency behind her visit."May I come in?" she asked, her words hanging in the air like a delicate secret. Memories of ins

AriThings went back to normal in the following days. As I went about my usual work routine, life as an omega became easier. I couldn't help but notice a sudden change within me—my mind and body were slowly adjusting to the demands of my new life. I started making fewer mistakes, resulting in fewer clashes with the omega leader and her minions than before. My body, which used to struggle with tough tasks, was now handling them more easily. Jackie and Igor couldn't contain their happiness, and I felt proud of becoming less of a burden to them.Before everything got chaotic in Moonshadow, I had Jackie and a few other helpers taking care of everything for me. Despite growing up surrounded by omegas willing to do my bidding, I always tried to learn housework and never allowed myself to be dependent on them. Jackie taught me some basic tasks like cleaning my room and preparing my bath. While the work here was a hundred times harder than what I was used to, this basic foundation made my imm

KristoffA council meeting loomed on the horizon, and I felt the weight of responsibility on my shoulders. Vowing to ensure its success and gain favor, I meticulously prepared for the gathering. Rolf's nod upon entering the room affirmed my readiness. A final glance in the mirror, and I departed, Rolf faithfully trailing behind as we made our way to the council room.Upon arrival, the council members were already seated around the circular table, their eyes fixed on the entrance, anticipating the arrival of both myself and the Ironwolf. Taking my seat, I sensed Rolf's presence standing steadfastly behind me, fulfilling his role as my confidant.My gaze swept over the distinguished figures present – Sigurd, the Beta, and the Ironwolf's younger brother; Gustav from the council of treasuries; Torvald, the warrior leader; Rune, the head tracker; and Rolf as my arms bearer. Accompanying them were other significant figures, including old advisers, previous leaders, and past council heads.A

Chapter 16KristoffI was shocked to my core. My eyes widened, almost bulging out of their sockets, as my father's announcement echoed in the grand hall. My heart raced like a runaway stallion, and my brain couldn't make sense of what the Ironwolf had just told us. This couldn't be happening. The Ironwolf's words hung in the air like a surreal mist, and I found myself unable to fathom the sudden turn of events for the worst.As the council members erupted in cheers, I couldn't join their celebration. My gaze remained fixed on my father, disbelief etched across my face like an indelible mark. The very foundation of my expectations crumbled beneath me. I was so confident in this idea, yet somehow the Ironwolf had found an escape from what I perceived as a perfect plan."Perhaps there's a misunderstanding, father,” I managed to murmur, my voice barely audible.The council chamber fell into an uneasy hush as the Ironwolf scoffed at my decision. "Just a moment ago, you were all for peace b
