The Rise of the Half-Rank Wolf Chapter 45
AriI was startled by the sudden touch from behind. Turning around, I found Kristoff gripping my waist tightly, pulling me away from the path to keep us unseen. His arms enveloped me, and a nauseating whiff of alcohol hit me as I managed to push him away. I observed him in disarray, still wearing his wedding suit, making it clear he was drunk."Kristoff, what are you doing here?" I asked, irritation evident in my voice.He scoffed, a sarcastic smirk on his face."Do I need permission to wander around? Soon I’m gonna be the most respected wolf inside this pack. No one would dare to oppose me."Something felt off about Kristoff, making me uneasy. His presence and gaze sent shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath, trying not to complicate things further."I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to deal with you. I need to go."Attempting to leave, I took a few steps, but Kristoff swiftly dashed towards me, grabbing my arms tightly."Is it someone influential enough? Is it Ulric? You seemed

AriThe next day, I woke up with the gentle warmth of the light touching my cheeks. Slowly getting up from my bed, I opened the windows to feel the breeze of the morning wind. The trees outside danced in harmony along with the good weather to start the day. But despite the pleasant surroundings, I wasn't feeling motivated to begin my day.As I stared outside, memories of the horrors Kristoff inflicted on my heart flooded back. It was a night I wished had never come. The flashbacks of Kristoff forcing himself onto me kept visiting my mind. A tear flowed from my eyes, which I quickly wiped away. I couldn't believe what had happened. It felt like a horrible nightmare that I never saw coming. But the worst part was the fact that everything was real.Walking away from the window, I fixed my hair in front of the mirror. My reflection revealed puffy eyes, probably caused by relentless crying the night before. My eyes looked dead enough to see my own miseries. In my mind, the sweet and loving

AriAs the day went by, I couldn't shake off the sinking feeling in my chest. The plant, my pride and joy, was withering away before my eyes. Its leaves were falling off, and despite my meticulous inspection of every corner, branch, and leaf, there was no sign of improvement. The situation seemed hopeless. Both Jackie and I knew we couldn't keep this truth to ourselves any longer.The weight of the revelation was too much for me to bear. I lacked the courage to face our people, so Jackie took on the responsibility of sharing the heartbreaking news with the former Moonshadow pack. The shock and worry on everyone's faces mirrored my own internal turmoil. Their sympathy was palpable, and it only deepened my sense of failure. All my efforts appeared futile.However, amidst the prevailing despair, some held onto hope. A suggestion surfaced that perhaps the plant's sensitivity required a precise amount of water each day. Maybe measuring the water given could offer a glimmer of a solution. E

AriI sat there, enduring Aslaug's never-ending opening rites, but nothing registered in my mind. All I wanted was for the ceremony to be over and the embarrassment to end. Aslaug droned on in front of us, but I couldn't focus. My only desire was to return to my chores and put this exam behind me. Defeat had already settled in, and I just wanted to spare myself any further humiliation. The lengthy opening rites only intensified my eagerness to escape the exam hall. I silently hoped Aslaug would announce the winners soon so I could make a swift exit.After Aslaug finished the opening rites, she began inspecting the plants. Pride beamed from the other participants as their plants stood tall and healthy. Meanwhile, I kept my head down, trying to avoid attention. Aslaug meticulously examined each plant until she reached the 20th – mine. Taking a deep breath, I tried to summon courage to face the examiner. Aslaug stared at my plant and questioned, "What happened to your plant?"Before I co

KristoffI sat there in the council hall, surrounded by my fellow members, as Aslaug summoned us for a meeting regarding the annual slave exam candidates in the scholarly division. It was a crucial discussion about the omega we would promote this year, and everyone had complied with the call, except for the Ironwolf himself. He had entrusted this important task to the remaining members of his council as he had something else equally pressing to attend to. Seraphina, too, was present among us as the newest member of the council.As Aslaug presented the candidates and their detailed information, the atmosphere in the council hall grew serious. She spoke about the two remaining contestants in the scholarly division, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.“Good day, gentlemen. Let’s not waste time here and proceed to our goal for today. As you have heard, the two remaining candidates from the scholarly division exam were Randall Leifson and Arianna Lynn Rosenberg. One step

SeraphinaAs I recounted the details of the recent council meeting to Maddie, her reaction unfolded like a storm within the confines of my room. Disbelief widened her eyes, mirroring the shock that had initially rippled through me upon realizing Ari's unexpected advantage."How can that be? It’s impossible that Ari even has a slight chance of winning," Maddie's voice quivered with desperation and fear. Her pacing back and forth, along with nail-biting, physically manifested the turmoil gripping her, and it was driving me crazy."Would you please stop acting like a distressed child and calm yourself? You are the future Luna of the pack. Start to act like one," I scolded her, disappointment evident in my tone.Reluctantly, Maddie finally took a seat, but my growing headache betrayed the increasing tension in the room. Trying to maintain composure, I continued updating her on the council meeting. "Those bastards were easily persuaded. Clearly, the perfect candidate should be Randall for

Chapter 51KristoffThe day of the deliberation arrived, and I found myself walking toward the exam hall with a sense of anticipation. My thoughts were consumed by Ari, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement for her. The previous council meeting had left me confident that Ari would emerge victorious. The way Uncle Sigurd had swayed my fellow councilors assured me that they wouldn't let Ari down. My mood was uplifted, evident in the bright smile I wore, and those around me couldn't help but notice.As I made my way, I sensed Rolf trailing behind me, surprised by my uncharacteristic good mood. He couldn't resist making a cheeky remark about it, commenting, "I'm not sure what happened. But seeing you in a good mood feels like a sign from heaven that everything will soon end. Miracles do happen huh?"Since the wedding, I was always feeling grumpy, making life hard for the people around me. Even the omega and the ones helping me personally had to deal with my not-so-good mood.

AriI was on my way to the exam hall, feeling the weight of both anticipation and gratitude for the overwhelming support from my colleagues, most especially Jackie. Each step brought me closer to my goal, and their encouragement fueled my determination. Yet, a lingering worry had been gnawing at me since the night before, and somehow, Jackie sensed it."Is everything alright, Lady Ari? This is the best time to share and empty your mind before facing the members of the council," Jackie said, concern etched on her face.Hesitant, I decided to open up. "My father was considered a traitor on this land. This might affect the voting system and favor Randall. You know a lot of people despise my father and me. I couldn’t help but worry that this might affect the result of the deliberation."Igor, always a pillar of support, understood my concerns. Despite the odds, he tried his best to encourage me and alleviate my worries. "The Ironwolf is known for being fair. Though many despise you, surel
