The Rise of the Half-Rank Wolf Chapter 69
AriAs they approached, I couldn't help but notice the irritating smile etched on Maddie's face. Kristoff, on the other hand, remained indifferent, his expression giving nothing away. Despite the bitterness I felt towards them, I greeted them with the courtesy befitting their rank."Greetings, Jarl Kristoff, Lady Maddie."Despite the uncomfortable feeling I harbored towards Maddie and Kristoff, I knew I had to show them respect due to them being part of the Alpha family. I couldn't avoid facing Kristoff, especially considering his position within the pack as the future Alpha of Ironflame. And that goes the same for my sister, Maddie.Ulric's gaze was fixed on me as if he could sense what Maddie was thinking. Stepping forward, he positioned himself in front of me, shielding me, and responded to their greetings playfully." Greetings, Jarl Kristoff. How fortunate we are to have your presence bestowed upon us at this moment."Ulric bowed his head in a gesture of courtesy, all the while

KristoffOnce I was inside the room with Maddie, I lost myself and swept everything on top of the desk with my arms. The sight of Maddie’s face boiled my blood. My eyes were completely locked on her, and Maddie seemed intimidated as she took a step away from me. But I also took a step forward, chasing her.“Did you even realize what you did? You embarrassed me in front of the Ironwolf! You made me look like a fool in front of everybody!” I yelled, pointing my finger straight at Maddie's eyes. She looked terrified, stuttering as she tried to explain.“Don’t yell at me! It’s Ari’s fault! She’s the one you need to punish, not me!”I scoffed, running my hands through my hair. I felt stuck between yelling or just giving up the conversation because it seemed pointless. Maddie’s attitude was beyond terrible.“You are the worst,” I muttered, watching as Maddie's fear vanished from her eyes. Instead, they grew with indignation. Her eyebrows furrowed, and her jaw clenched.“HOW DARE YOU SAY THA

MaddieI stood up from the floor, my tears flowing like wild streams. Kristoff's words struck and pierced my delicate heart. I walked towards the mirror and saw my pitiful state. "I never thought fate would bring me into this misery."My spirit wolf, Greta, heard my suffering. I continued to cry as I remembered my life choices. "Tell me, Greta. What led me to this? Where did I go wrong to deserve this fate?"All I wanted was to experience love like everybody else. I wanted to feel the loving touch of someone. I wanted to feel safe in someone else’s arms, someone who would stand for me no matter what. "I've been loving him for so long... And yet his eyes were still locked on my sister."I sat on the small chair and cried, reminiscing the past years of my life. Unlike other she-wolves, I wasn't eager to meet my fated mate. For me, it was unnecessary. I was one of the very few wolves who believed that fated mates are not essential to a wolf’s life. As a wolf, we shouldn't be confined

AriLife in Skagi continued, and it was my sanctuary, away from those who might have wished me harm. Here, I felt safe, surrounded by people who cherished me. Skagi was my haven, but it also filled me with sadness, for it kept me apart from my own people."I'm sorry, everyone. It was the only way I could protect you," I whispered to myself, a heavy weight on my heart. Despite my longing to see my people, I had heeded Ulric and Lady Aleria's counsel. Avoiding the capital for the time being was the wisest choice, they said. It was to shield my people from the potential cruelty of Maddie and Seraphina, who wouldn't have hesitated to harm them to spite me. As my status had suddenly risen, I had become untouchable, but it only made them more vindictive towards those I cared about. It was a bitter truth, one I wished I hadn't had to accept."I just wished there was a way to reassure them why I had been absent," I murmured, hoping for a solution to bridge the distance between us.As long as

MaddieI couldn't take much more of it. Lady Joanna's lectures dragged on like a never-ending nightmare. Each day, her words sliced deeper into my patience, feeling even worse than enduring a flogging or being locked away.As Lady Joanna's lecture droned on, I stared blankly ahead, my mind wandering far from the suffocating lecture hall. Why bother with this training? It's been the same old lessons since I was a child. Greta's silence only added to the weight of boredom pressing down on me. I knew these lectures by heart, thanks to my mother's teachings, but they offered nothing new, only serving as punishment rather than education. The idea of revenge simmered within me, fueled by frustration. Lady Joanna promised to shape me into a future Luna, yet I gained nothing. Was she merely using me to cozy up to the Ironwolf? It felt like she volunteered to teach me to make herself look good in his eyes.Then, her voice cut through my mental fog. "Are you with us, Maddie?" Lady Joanna's qu

MaddieOnce prepared, I headed to the ceremony hall, where familiar faces of importance awaited. My attention was drawn to Lady Aleria's family, causing a twinge of discomfort in my stomach.Taking my place beside Kristoff at the front, I felt the weight of all eyes on us. However, I refused to be intimidated. With so many eyes watching my every move, I knew better than to do anything foolish that might compromise my situation again."Unfortunately, the esteemed Ironwolf cannot be with us today," announced the speaker. His words were met with murmurs of disappointment from the crowd. "Nevertheless, the ceremony will proceed, led by the heir to the throne, Jarl Kristoff, and his wife, Lady Maddie."Applause filled the hall, yet Kristoff's demeanor remained distant, a constant reminder of our loveless union. But I had grown accustomed to the ache, resigning myself to my fate.The ceremony dragged on, each moment feeling endless. I could hardly bear it any longer, my mind yearning for es

UlricI wrapped Aster in a huge hug. "Congratulations, brother. How are you feeling about your new post?" I noticed the nervous smile on his face. "I'm excited, but there's a touch of nervousness. I'm not sure if I'm worthy enough to lead."Giving his shoulders a firm tap, I enveloped him in my arms. "Listen here, brother. What's running inside your veins isn't ordinary wolf blood. Your blood is more than worthy to lead for you are the son of the great Ironwolf. Heads up, little guy. You are destined for a great destiny."Aster became a little confident to start his first official job in the pack. He was given a post on the borders of the northern territory. Meanwhile, I was beaming with pride for my little brother. But amidst the joy, our mother couldn't hold back her tears and broke down."Mother?" I approached her gently."I'm sorry, Ulric. I just couldn't believe how time flies. My little boy is no longer a baby," she sobbed.Aster went to hug our mother, reassuring her, "I'm go

AriI was working late, buried in an important report, seeking solace downstairs. Nestled in a chair by the main door, I delved into the text, trying to focus despite the late hour. Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing Ulric's distraught face."Oh, it’s late. Where have you been, Ulric?" I inquired, my concern evident.Ulric barely acknowledged me, his gaze distant as he passed by. Confusion clouded my thoughts as I watched him go, pondering his unusual behavior. Concern gnawed at me, wondering what could be troubling him.Returning to my desk, I found myself unable to shake off the distraction. My mind wandered as I attempted to work. What's wrong with him? I asked myself. The next day arrived, bringing with it another critical meeting at Skagi. Among the attendees, I sat, my attention occasionally drifting towards Ulric, who seemed lost in his own thoughts. Lady Aleria led the discussion, her authoritative presence commanding the room.“Glad each one has some great ideas to sh
