The Cholmáin Pack: The Rise and Fall of the Cholmáin Legacy

Timeline of the Cholmáin and Firewolf Feud

A Century Ago:

• The Firewolf Pack of Ireland thrived under a single rule.

• Cholmáin Kavanah, eldest son of the Firewolf Alpha, expected to inherit the title, but his father chose his younger, likable brother, Ciarán, instead.

• Enraged, Cholmáin attempted a coup to kill his father and brother to take control of the pack.

• The coup failed, and Cholmáin and his followers were exiled.

• Cholmáin abandoned his surname, and his descendants began using his given name as their new family name, founding the Cholmáin Pack.

• Cholmáin Alphas abandoned the fated mate bond, choosing mates based on political alliances and strength instead.

Nearly 30 Years Ago:

• Declan Cholmáin, a ruthless Alpha, set his sights on Fianna Ó Braonáin, the Firewolf Beta’s daughter, as his chosen mate.

• Fianna rejected Declan, having already found her fated mate, Connor Kavanah, heir to the Firewolf Pack.

• Enraged, Declan claimed his lover Ailís Carmody as his Luna, recognizing her as his fated mate but resenting that fate had not given him Fianna.

• A supposed peace meeting between Declan and Connor turned into a massacre orchestrated by Declan.

• Declan hunted down and killed Connor and Fianna, believing he had ended the Firewolf Pack.

• Unknown to him, their newborn daughter, Aurelia, had survived.

Aurelia’s Hidden Life:

• After the massacre, Aurelia was secretly taken in by unsuspecting human couple William and Mary Christian.

• They raised her as their own, unaware of her true nature or lineage.

• Aurelia grew up as a normal human girl, never knowing that supernatural beings existed, let alone that she was one of them.

• After her 16th birthday, she met Logan Kinsley, and her wolf awakened, throwing her life into chaos.

• With her mate, the Bloodmoon Alpha Logan Kinsley. Aurelia uncovered her past and the truth of her people.

• Eventually, Aurelia mated with Logan, restoring the Firewolf bloodline and producing two powerful heirs: Roselyn and Connor James (CJ).

The Next Generation & Internal Strife:

• Desmond Cholmáin inherited his father’s cruelty and ambition.

• Though he already had a son, Cormac Neil, with his lover Sorcha Neil, Desmond was meant to take Lorna Dane, princess of the Russian Everfang Pack, as his mate.

• Desmond lost the challenge for Lorna’s hand to her fated mate, Finn Kilbourn, Alpha of Ironfur.

• Instead, Desmond took Lorna’s younger sister, Lydia, as his Luna, though he treated her indifferently except when she bore him a son, Maverick.

Maverick’s Exile & Survival:

• Desmond eventually deemed Maverick weak compared to Cormac.

• Despite his striking resemblance, Cormac and Sorcha manipulated Desmond into doubting Maverick’s true lineage.

• Desmond sought to eliminate Maverick, leading to a violent confrontation where Declan Cholmáin died, ensuring Maverick’s escape.

• Desmond and Cormac hunted Maverick down until they found what they believed to be his lifeless body—too damaged to identify but matching his blood.

• Unbeknownst to them, it was an elaborate deception.

• Using Ironfur Pack’s secrets, Maverick’s telepathic connection to his Cholmáin bloodline was severed, making it impossible for Desmond and Cormac to sense him.

• Maverick has lived in secret for four years, protected by Ironfur, where his maternal aunt serves as Luna.

Present Day:

• Despite the evidence, Desmond and Cormac remain suspicious of Maverick’s supposed death.

• They have secretly funded hunters to find proof—whether of Maverick’s survival or his definitive demise.

• The Cholmáin remain unaware that the Firewolf Pack survived.

• The Kavanah bloodline has grown stronger than ever, with Aurelia’s union with Bloodmoon Alpha Logan Kinsley and the birth of their powerful heirs, Roselyn and Connor James (CJ).

• The war they thought was won is far from over—Firewolf still lives, even if as part of Bloodmoon, stronger than ever.

The Rise and Fall of the Cholmáin Legacy

There was a time when the Firewolf Pack stood undivided, ruling the lands of Ireland with strength and unity. But unity is fragile when ambition festers.

Cholmáin saw it as a betrayal. He would not stand aside nor allow his brother to take what he believed to be rightfully his. So, he acted. The night of blood ended in his failure, and instead of ascending to Alpha, he became an exile. He abandoned his family’s name, carving out a new path with those who still believed in him. The Cholmáin Pack was born, a legacy built not on honor but defiance.

For a century, the Cholmáin thrived in the shadows, choosing mates for power rather than fate, strengthening their hold. Their hatred for Firewolf never waned.

Then came Declan Cholmáin. Ruthless. Power-hungry. Declan did not just crave Firewolf’s submission—he wanted its destruction. When he set his sights on Fianna Ó Braonáin, the Beta’s daughter, he believed she would be his. But fate had other plans. Fianna belonged to Connor Kavanah, the Firewolf heir; neither force nor persuasion could change that.

Declan’s response was annihilation.

What was meant to be a peace gathering became a massacre. Firewolf warriors fell under his command. Connor and Fianna fled, but he hunted them down, tearing them apart with his own hands. With their deaths, he believed Firewolf was no more.

But fate has a way of defying even the most ruthless of men.

A newborn girl had survived the slaughter—Aurelia, the last of the Kavanah bloodline. Unsuspecting humans, William and Mary Christian took her in and raised her as their own. She lived a normal life for sixteen years, never knowing she was anything but human. Then, her wolf awakened, and the world she knew shattered.

Logan Kinsley of the Bloodmoon Pack found her and guided her. Together, they uncovered the truth of her past. She reclaimed her birthright with him, and the Firewolf Pack was given new life as they merged with Bloodmoon.

While Firewolf grew stronger in the shadows, the Cholmáin weakened from within.

Desmond Cholmáin followed in his father’s footsteps, ruthless and paranoid. He sought to secure his legacy through alliances, but his ambitions were dashed when he lost Lorna Dane of Everfang to Finn Kilbourn of Ironfur. Forced to settle for her younger sister, Lydia, he resented both her and their fated bond.

She gave him a son, Maverick, but Desmond deemed him weak. His bastard son, Cormac, was stronger—at least, in Desmond’s eyes. He let whispers of doubt poison his mind until Maverick became a threat to be eliminated.

Declan Cholmáin died, ensuring his grandson’s escape. Desmond and Cormac believed they had finished the job, but the truth eluded them. Maverick lived, his bond to them severed, hidden in Ironfur, growing stronger every year.

But Desmond’s instincts refused to let him rest. He sent hunters, searching for proof. One way or another, he would know the truth.

Yet, as the Cholmáin dig into the shadows, they remain blind to their greatest threat.

Firewolf never died.

Aurelia and Logan have ensured the Firewolf name will never be forgotten. Their children, Roselyn and CJ, carry the blood of Alphas stronger than any before them.

The war is not over.

And this time, fate is on Firewolf’s side.
