The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac chapter 13
Chapter 13 Jacob's POV We spent the whole night online shopping after I got three carts full of food. I didn't know what exactly she likes, so I got a bunch of random things that I hope she will like. Ethan shipment of everything he bought online has just been delivered. Luckily, Ethan knows a guy who knows a guy that sped up the timing on the delivery. It should've taken a few days instead of a few hours. We stock her room with all her new items and fill her closet and dresser with the clothes and lingerie. I wanted to see her in this. I say to myself while holding up a black laced lingerie set. It's sexy as fuck and exposes her in the best of ways. "I have to go, can you two please finish this up and not fuck around?” Ethan sighs. "No promises.” I said, throwing her rose pink comforter over her mattress. "Wait," Jordan stops Ethan from leaving, "we never explained to her about the butler situation.” Ethan scratches his neck, "I'll explain to her that we have other humans wo

Chapter 14 Jordan POV I hear Jacob telling us what's going on from the office as I watch cartoons with Jessica, pulling her closer as it's confirmed that I'm right. We need to work this out now, not when she leaves, hell, I don't even feel comfortable with her leaving our sight now. More vampires and werewolves than us are around and the only person I can think of is David he's just like Jacob an hybrid. He's followed us before, so I wouldn't put it past him to find us again. "Oh, I'm so sorry." One of our maids stops in the archway of the living room, stunned to see a woman with us. Jessica s eyes drift from her to the TV then back at her. The maid stammers out of the room and starts walking towards her quarters. "Who was that?” She looks to Ethan for answers. He scratches his jaw, "a maid.” "I should've known you guys had maids living in this kind of luxury.” She giggles, seemingly okay with it. She sits up and stretches her arms over her head, making her shirt lift slight

Chapter 15 Jessica's POV Bambi and I have a good little conversation on the phone. Theo took her out on a date to the arcade and won her a big stuffed animal. I'm so happy for her, she deserves this. The guys and I hang out for a few hours before they show me where I'll be staying. Despite the tension around them, the room I'm staying in looks beautiful! The bed looked so inviting, I fell asleep within five minutes. The next morning, Jordan wakes me up with small kisses over my whole face, causing me to giggle up a storm. "Ethan should be in here in a few minutes. I just wanted to see you first.” He kisses my forehead. I smile at the newfound safety I feel, “I feel special.” "You, are the most special thing in the world to us. You're perfect from the top of your head," he pats my head playfully, "to the tips of your toes," he reaches under the blankets faster than I can stop him and tickle the pads of my feet. I laugh out, trying to hide my feet from his fingers. His long hai

Chapter 16Jacob's POV Ethan came up that afternoon unhappy. Talking about how my little brother has found us. Apparently he saw one of his men on the sidewalk across the street from the studio. If my little brother is here, that only means that terrible shit is about to go down and that girl, Sonya, is a homicide victim. My little brother is ruthless. He learned it from me. I beat myself up for decades, knowing I'm the reason why he is the way he is. I changed him, taught him how to feed, how to kill, how to survive being something like us. Back then I was an idiot. My brother and I were inseparable, I basically helped raise him since my parents were so poor. I didn't want to live forever without him, so I made the stupid mistake of giving him this curse. Ethan explained to Jordan and I know we need to keep Jessica safe because if Dave knows about her. She will be his biggest target. Stupid prick, always wanting what I had. Ever since I changed him, he’s done everything in his
The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac chapter 17
Chapter 17 Jessica's POV I woke up in the middle of the night with a throat as dry as the Sahara desert.scratching the dry skin at the back of my throat. How long was I out for? As I step out of the bed, a stinging pain shoots from heel to toe. The slight burn and intense sting let me know that I definitely have blisters. "Dang it, Jessica. You know you have sensitive skin." I sigh, talking to myself. A knock at my door almost makes me jump out of my skin. "Come in.” I say with a racing heart. "I'm sorry I scared you, baby. I just wanted to check on you."Jacob says,walking in. “My feet really hurt." I wince as my toes twitch from beneath me. "Come here, baby. Let me see.” He holds out his hand. As soon as I take it, he walks to me and lifts me into his arms. I can't complain because I really don't want to walk. If these blisters pop, I'll die. "Do you never sleep?” I ask as he walks me into the kitchen. "No, baby. We don't sleep.” He chuckles as he sits me on the counter ne
The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac chapter 18
Chapter 18Jordan's POV I gave her a few minutes to get comfortable, thinking about what Ethan and Jacob are doing. They went to see what more they could find out about Sonya and if it looks like something Dave could do. Well, he could, but something he would do. Ethan mentioned seeing one of Dave's men while he was at the dance studio with Jessica. For me, that's enough proof that he’s found us and is moving in. After giving Jessica a few minutes to get comfortable, I knock on the door while slowly opening it. "I'm covered.” She tells me. Once I fully step inside, I close the door. She lays on the massage table with nothing but a small white towel covering her ass. She looks so angelic, so beautiful. Jacob wouldn't be able to control himself around this view. Hell, I could barely handle myself right now. But Nik is always first. I place my hand on her calf, making her stiffen at the contact. "Comfortable?" I asked, just to make sure. She hums nervously, making me wonder if t

Chapter 19 Jessica's POV I couldn't stop thinking about how relaxing yesterday was. I feel so light, weightless, like a feather falling from the highest perch, floating down but never reaching the ground. Jordan is just too sweet. I only felt uncomfortable twice. The first time was him first walking in, knowing I was naked with just a towel to cover me then the second time, him accidentally ripping the towel off of me. I know he probably saw my butt, but at least it was just that.He seemed to not be disgusted though, which made me happy. Nobody has ever seen my body, the only person who's seen the closest thing to me being naked is Jordan. And I actually felt okay about it! When Ethan and Jacob came back home, I was surprised to find myself in Jacob's arms so quickly while Ethan had a serious look on his face, as if he were in deep thought. When Ethan was helping me rub the cream into my feet, he still seemed tense but fully present. I tried to ask him what was wrong, but all he

Chapter 20 Jacob's POV I could hear her moans from the doorway and I know Jordan could hear them from his music room where he was playing his old records. She sounded so sweet, she smelled decadent, like the thickest honey. I resisted the urge to walk in the library and watch what's going on. I didn't want to overwhelm her so quickly. Ethan boasted for hours after that, she boosted his ego quite a bit. He told us how she was riding his leg and how cute her face was when it was twisted in pleasure. I bet her blue eyes were rolled back. The whole day we've been being lazy. Earlier she caught me playing my guitar. She was shocked to know I could play it well and wanted me to teach her. I never would've thought she'd want to try playing it too. She sounded like nails on a chalkboard, but everyone sucks when they first try something. Today is sadly the day she goes back home. She's still asleep, but Ethan told us to meet up in the office to talk about something. I assume it's about

He slowly closed the door, surprisingly not with a loud slam like all the other times. Something about him felt strange, at first, I could not identify it but when the smell of strong liquor hit my nose I finally realized why his movements were slightly unsteady. He was drunk. Alcohol and cigars were a part of his daily life, it was no surprise for me to smell alcohol from him, however, today he looked a bit too consumed by the effects of the liquor. His movements were barely collected. Deep down I was expecting the worst. Alex's arrival has never brought any good news for me. From the very first day, he stepped into my life, everything has been a living nightmare for me, that I wanted to escape so badly but failed every time. Perhaps, if someone else had brought me from the auction, things could have been even worse than this but, at the very least, I wouldn't have to live with the fact that it was my mate who left no levels to stoop to hurt me, put me through hell. He turned a

Chapter 42Jasmine's POV I waited for the phone to ring for a solid twenty minutes until it finally rang, breaking the burdening silence of the room. I received the call quickly, hoping to hear the news I have been waiting for, “Hello. Has he left yet?” "It took a bit of work, but yeah, he left." The response from the other side made me finally release the breath I did not know I had been holding on to for so long. Finally... It was a relief that the plan was finally working and he was coming out of his cold facade. Although it was still not sure if this change of one night was going to be permanent. Alex was absolutely capable of holding himself together till the last bit, nothing could be comparable to how strong he was when it came to pushing away everything he has, to hold onto something he doesn't want to let go. If there was anything he truly treasured from the bottom of his heart, that was his curse and now, perhaps, It was Emily who undoubtedly held more importance to h
The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac chapter 41
But I did not want to get too lost in it. How could I ever wipe her off of my head when she was there in every beat in my heart, every breath I took? She has captivated me in a way none would ever be able to do, she trapped me under her unforgettable dazzling eyes. I felt guilty to even look at her after everything I put her through. Nothing can justify my actions, I did not deserve her. Despite everything I did, she was still trying to heal me, selfless and willing to forgive my sins that crossed every boundary. How could someone love a monster like me? How could she still care for a demon who left no chance to make her feel miserable and snatch everything away from her? She deserved better. But...I can't let her go. It was now a choice between her or my curse. The curse that helped me survive, or the woman who wanted to make me alive once again. “Alpha, I think you shouldn't drink anymore," Steve's voice broke through my crowded thoughts, "You have already consumed too much.”

Chapter 40 "Show me the CCTV footage of yesterday," I told Andrew who immediately ordered one of his guards to bring his laptop. They worked fast, wary about their movements as I had already let them know that I was more than willing to kill them if they failed to give me the right information. So, it was either do or die for them, although my situation was not so stable as well. The argument with Emily has left me and my beliefs shaken. She fucked me up pretty badly, and my last statement before I exited the room, did the same thing to her in return. I had seen it in her eyes, I had broken her. “Alpha, here's the footage.” Andrew opened the video, connecting the laptop to the big monitor for a better view. "Speed it up." I barked, tapping the ash of the cigar on the ashtray beside me as I fixated my eyes on the screen, to be very specific, my mate. There was no question that a werewolf's eyes will miss any of the odd changes or even the slightest movements that did not go with

Chapter 39When I woke up, I found myself tucked under the duvet. Yawning, I stretched my hands over my head and sat up. A sudden invisible force attacked my head from all sides, forcing my body to fall on the surface of the bed, however, that did not happen as the memories from last night came flooding inside of my mind like a tsunami but somehow inexact and glitched. I'd gone to the party with Alex... But what happened after that? The glitched memories kept flashing in front of my eyes until my mind acknowledged the entire event. I almost got raped yesterday... Chills of terror ran down my body, I felt sick to my stomach even at the thought of that guy being near me. Calm down. You are safe, he saved you. I blew out a sigh of relief when the thought of Alex murdering David crossed my mind For the first time, the thought of somehow being dead was providing me comfort; Made me feel safe and secure. My eyes glanced around the room in search of any sign of Alex but no, there we
The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac Chapter 38
Chapter 38‘Her words echoed inside of my head over and over again in a continuous, never-ending loop, wiping any traces of sleep away from my eyes, keeping me wide awake for obvious reasons I tended to avoid. It felt weird to hear those words in repeat. Why did she love me after everything I have done to her? How could she still try to love me and bring me back from where I preferred to stay? I wanted the darkness, then why was she trying to drag me to face the light that she hoped would prevail as an escape for both of us? It was hate that she was supposed to feel for me, not the love she was surging over me every day and every second. I glanced down at her, hearing the faint sound of her relaxed breathing as she slept on top of me. I knew she was Sleeping because the only time she remains this unguarded was when she was asleep, other than that, it'd always be her trying to stay careful with every little thing, every small movement she makes or even breathing and making a sound.
The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac chapter 37
Chapter 37Alex's fists balled up to his sides, his breathing picked up an unusual pace and lust flared in his eyes, but he remained still, unmoved, and tied with invisible restraints. “ Emily, Just go and change." He said I could not fathom why he was so reluctant to touch me today. He never acted like this, for a person whose only way to any sort of calm was my body, it was strange how he was acting today but the reason was still unknown. “What has happened to you? Is your dick broken?" I frowned, a look of disappointment spreading over my face. His face reddened with anger and undeniable frustration. I have been putting him through this entire time. "Go and change." He ordered, strictly. "You know what you are not a cutie, the name was too cute for a rude, arrogant, jerk like you,” I said, my anger surely could have competed with the amount of his rage, "You are a pig. A stupid pig.” “What did you just say?” He looked beyond pissed. I knew the only thing stopping Alex from

Chapter 36I was a whole different person before we get to the mansion. I couldn't tell whether I even remembered my name, however, I did not have to be told twice that I still knew every syllable of someone's name and that someone was none other than my mate whose anger hadn't lessened even the slightest bit yet he kept me cradled to his chest like some precious belonging that needed to be protected. "You are strange,” I murmured burying my head into his chest, "You try to act like someone you are not but always end up leaving clues to the one you are in reality, but for some reason, try to force others to believe what you pretend to be in real life. Everything about you is so strange, but I still can't stop loving you." "If you were not this drunk, I wouldn't mind beating some sense into you," His voice was not as harsh as it always had been, "You have completely lost your mind." "No, I haven't," I muttered, "I'm telling you my feelings." "I don't want to hear about your feeling
The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac chapter 35
Chapter 35"Alex.." His name fell out of my lips on its own, and a strange relief flooded within me. The fear that'd strangled me, vanished in thin air. The sight of him alone made me feel safe and secure even though it was not how it was supposed to be. How could I feel secure with the one whose only intention was to hurt me? He looked at me, his eyes softening for a brief moment but then when David let out a groan in pain, all I could see was the very familiar dark eyes of Alex and the flames of the wrath that was capable of destroying everything in a matter of a second. "David” Alex called, his brows rising as if he was just acknowledging his presence.He stepped closer to David who still hadn't managed to get himself off the ground. " Why did you decide to do this to yourself?” The sympathy in Alex's voice wasn't real, "Dared to touch something that is not yours, and you have to pay with your life in return. David moved backward, dragging himself back as he shook in fear, “Al
