In the world of Drasia, where diverse lands and cultures intertwine, the focus of attention shifted dramatically to the Olympus civil war, a conflict that threatened to reshape the balance of power across the realm. Amidst this turmoil stood the city-state of Draconia, a formidable and influential entity known for both its prowess in trade and its swift, decisive actions against any who dared to oppose it.

"You fought like a trained warrior. What's your name?" "Didn't you hear?" I shrugged. "Just some rogue bitch." His jaw tensed. "Rogues don't defend packs. They destroy them to gain power and control." "Oh?" I arched a brow. "So, why are you here?" "I came to protect," he said firmly. "We've brought medical care, food. Your pack will be registered and cared for. If a suitable Alpha isn't found-" "You'll handpick a new one who is obedient to you?" I cut in. "I don't want obedience," he said. "I want stability. Safety." "For wolves like us?" I laughed coldly. "We've never had rights. Don't talk to me about your precious act." He took a slow step toward me. "What's your name?" I snarled back. "Not interested in bonding, Your Majesty." "I'm not here to dominate you." "No?" I challenged. "Then why call yourself King? Kings demand obedience, do they not." His voice dropped. "True Kings only want loyalty and respect." I stared him down. "Those are earned, not demanded." A gust of wind blew past me, carrying my scent straight to him. His nostrils flared. His pupils dilated. His wolf surged to the surface, glowing with his golden gaze. He staggered back half a step. "Mate." I froze. No. Hell no. He took a step forward. "You...you're..." "Not. A. Chance," I growled, turning and sprinting for the trees. *** After escaping the brutalities of her pack, the rogue she-wolf is only interested in protecting those she cares for.

Fusion is a science-fantasy saga set on a living world shaped by three suns—Solara, Virel, and Nexon—whose energies govern will, identity, and transformation. At its center is Allium Bell, a being created to maintain balance between these forces. Designed as a function rather than a person, Allium begins the story detached, precise, and unsure what it means to choose. As disturbances spread across settlements—emotional flattening, identity erosion, and subtle behavioral harmony—Allium and a small group of allies investigate what initially appears to be environmental instability. What they uncover is not a single enemy, but a growing manipulation of identity itself. As ancient entities exploit the world’s systems and the power of the tri-suns, the cost of balance becomes increasingly personal. Rose, a seraphim seeking warmth and self-definition; Cassidy Firewell, a human forger shaped by loss and humor; Weaver, a creator haunted by the limits of design; and others are drawn into conflicts where force alone cannot solve what is breaking. Fusion is a slow-burn narrative that prioritizes atmosphere, character psychology, and consequence over spectacle. Threats emerge gradually—through silence, behavior, and implication—before violence ever arrives. Power is never free, growth is never clean, and victories carry lasting cost. The series explores themes of identity vs. function, choice vs. design, and the danger of systems that value balance without humanity, building toward escalating conflicts that reshape both the world and those sworn to protect it. This story is written by me (Isaiah Pohlman) and is being officially published on RoyalRoad as well. RoyalRoad Profile: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/860433/fictions
