The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac chapter 42
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

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 2Jessica's POV I got to work the next day, I walked into the restaurant with my head held high, at least I hope the fake confidence is working. “Hey,” Leo approaches me from the bar, "thanks for taking the shift. We have three special guests coming tonight and they are going to be sitting at one of your tables. They are used to but she got sick last night so please, do your absolute best.” He said. Special guests? I've never handled special guests before! No, no you can't do this to me. "And don't look at them with that face, your eyes aren't professional.” Leo retreats back to the bar, seeing a customer come up to it. Crap, crap, crap. I internally freak out. Okay, I could just ask if they could sit at someone else's table, someone more reliable. An hour passes with no mistakes, making me think it's time I ask my boss to change the seating arrangements for the special guests. "Absolutely not. They sit at the same table every time they come. Just do your job and do it

Chapter 3Jacob's POV The guys and I decided to have dinner at our friend's restaurant. It's been a while since we've been there, maybe a few months. As soon as we stepped into the place, we sensed a beautiful scent of strawberry in the air. Something I haven't felt in a very, very long time. While we wait at the table, the scent gets stronger. "What the fuck is that scent ?” I ask. "Look." Jordan nudges my arm and points to a small blonde woman talking to leo. Leo. What a kiss ass. My skin crawls seeing whoever this woman is with that guy. By the looks of her uniform, she works here. Soffie always serves us though, we were told that she's the best so our friend has put her with us since day one. As we all stare at her, her eyes suddenly meet ours and quickly retreats back to the floor. "Hi, my name is Jessica and I'll be your waitress this evening. May I get you all started on some drinks?" Her voice hits my ears. Such a beautiful voice. "Where is our usual waitress?" Ethan

Chapter 4Ethan's POV Jessica was a little hesitant on me picking her up when I texted her, now I see why. She doesn't belong here. This area is full of homeless people, drugs, and probably black mold. I watch as two men discreetly exchange money for drugs, making my skin crawl. She deserves better. I pull a cigarette out of my pack and light it. The burn of the menthol travels through my throat, calming my anger from the fact that this beautiful woman is living somewhere so dangerous. Her dirty black hair bounces as she turns to close the door. She checks the time on her phone, looking around to see that it's the time we agreed I'd pick her up at. Flicking my cigarette out the window, I step out of the car. The smile that reaches her eyes when she finally notices me makes me want to just never bring her back to this place. I survey the area as she walks up to me, seemingly not understanding the danger all around her. Once she makes it to my car, she shyly waves. "Hi. Where ar

Chapter 5Jessica's POV Spending time with Ethan was nice ! I've never been so close to someone as handsome, or screams as much authority as him. "How was the date?" Bambi slaps my arm playfully as I plop next to her on the couch. Date? Is that what it was? "I don't think that was a date." I giggle. "Girl, that was definitely a date. I saw him look at you through the window." "How was he looking at me?" I ask, clearly oblivious to him looking at me at all. I'm not much to look at. I don't have the supermodel legs, the toned stomach, the bombshell boobs, or the confidence . “Like he wanted to eat you up.” She winks. My stomach drops, "shut up.” I laugh. "Call him.” An evil smirk grows on Bambi's face. “Heck no! He just left." Her sea green eyes roll to the back of her head as a strangled sound leaves her throat. "I'll do it for you then." She lunges for my phone. I quickly hide it under my body, causing her to tickle me. I thrash around, laughing loudly as I try to ignore he

Chapter 6Jessica's POV On the way to work, Bambi and I had a small little party in her car. Neither of us can sing, but that doesn't mean we won't! Sadly, our time comes to an end as we pull up to the restaurant. I'm happy she's on the same shift as me. Working with her helps time pass faster. "Oh my God, Jessica! Is that their car?" Poppy elongates her arm, pointing to the expensive white car. No, that can't be them. They have to be getting sick of me by now. "Maybe someone just has the same car as Ethan." I shrug. She laughs and follows me to the doors to reveal a pale Leo waiting for us to enter. "Great! You're finally here!" Leo quickly sighs. I look at the clock on the wall and see that I'm ten minutes early. “You have special guests that requested you." Leo says, looking directly at me. "Special guests." Bambi's eyebrows bounce. Is it really them? As Leo moves away, I see all three of them sitting at one of my tables. "Seems like they found a new pet ." Soffie whis

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
The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac chapter 39
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.

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
