The Last Howl 63: Eyes of Silver
A suffocating, pin-drop silence settled over the pitch-black cargo bay.The weight of Alexander’s confession, and the silent, shocking realization that both he and Denzel were bound to a wolf-less girl from the slums hung heavy in the frigid air. Vanessa sat with her jaw slack, her eyes darting between the Prince and me, while Susan clutched her blanket in dumbfounded disbelief. Kenny kept shuffling his boots, opening his mouth as if to crack a joke, but quickly thought better of it. Even Atlas kept his gaze fixed firmly on the steel floorboards, nursing a bruised silence after his heated outburst.The oppressive quiet was shattered by a deafening screech of rubber and iron.The transport truck lurched violently forward, throwing us all against the tactical crates as Hawthorn slammed his boot onto the brakes. The heavy tires skidded across the icy asphalt
The Last Howl 62: Cracks in the Armor
The silence inside the cargo bay stretched so thin it felt ready to snap like a frayed wire.Denzel’s hand was still resting near mine, his dark eyes fixed on my face, waiting for an answer to his confession. But before my frozen brain could even process the words, a shadow descended over us.Alexander stepped out of the gloom.Without a word, his large, warm hand clamped around my upper arm like a vice. His grip wasn't painful, but it was unyielding, yanked with such raw, sudden force that my feet dragged across the iron floorboards as he pulled me directly to his side.Denzel was on his feet in an instant. Despite his wounds and his battered body, he stood tall, his shoulders squared, looking Alexander dead in the eye. They came chest to chest in the narrow aisle, two Alpha presences clashing in the tight, dark space wit
The Last Howl 61: Whispers in the Dark
The iron floorboards shuddered violently beneath us as the transport truck tore through the freezing mountain road. Outside, the distant, guttural howls of the turned wolves faded into the howling blizzard, swallowed whole by the distance.Inside the pitch-black cargo bay, the air was thick with the suffocating stench of copper, fear, and cold sweat. The silence didn't last long. As soon as the engine settled into a steady, deafening hum, the entire bay erupted into chaotic, frantic chatter."An antidote? A damn vaccine?" Kenny exploded, slamming his back against a wooden supply crate. He dragged both hands down his face, his voice cracking with sheer panic. "Are you guys hearing this? He’s got black veins crawling up his damn neck! What if that shit wears off while he’s taking a hairpin turn at fifty miles an hour? We’re
The Last Howl 60: Venom and Vaccines
My words hung in the freezing night air like a death sentence."You are infected."Silence slammed over the petrol station, colder and heavier than the blizzard wind. For a terrifying second, nobody breathed. Then, every eye swung from me to Professor Hawthorn.Atlas dropped the heavy supply sack he was carrying, the canned rations hitting the snow with a dull thud. Beside him, Kenny and Vanya froze mid-step, their expressions twisting from exhaustion into absolute horror.Under the flickering fluorescent light of the pump, Hawthorn’s collar remained slightly open. Now that we were all looking, there was no hiding it. The obsidian, spiderwebbing veins were pulsing visibly against his throat, black and rotten, creeping upward toward his jawline."Step back!" Alexander roared, his voice boomi
The Last Howl 59: The Silent Petrol Pump
The heavy thrum of the diesel engine reverberated through the iron floorboards for hours, a monotonous, vibrating hum that carved a path through the suffocating darkness of the mountain pass. Outside, the storm had finally begun to exhaust itself, the blinding blizzard fading into a desolate, quiet snowfall. Giant white pines loomed out of the gloom like silent sentinels, bowing under the immense weight of the winter pack.Inside the cargo bay, no one spoke. The earlier adrenaline had burnt out, leaving behind a hollow, aching exhaustion that settled deep into our bones. The air was frigid, smelling faintly of stale sweat, copper blood, and heavy diesel exhaust. Denzel had drifted into a restless sleep against the wooden crates, his jaw tight even in slumber. Atlas leaned back with his eyes closed, his hand never straying far from the heavy shotgun resting across his lap.Across the aisle, Ale
The Last Howl 58. Unspoken Rules and Quiet Suspicion
The dark, suffocating air inside the armory was heavy with the reek of spent gunpowder, metallic blood, and unresolved fury.Alexander’s silver eyes burned into mine, two glowing embers cutting through the dim amber light of the truck bed. His hand still gripped his heavy rifle, his jaw clenched so hard the pale skin along his cheekbones looked ready to snap. The raw, unhinged rage rolling off his broad frame was unmistakable. He had heard every word. He had seen the way I patched up Denzel’s jaw, the gentle touch, and heard Denzel’s soft promise lingering in the air between us.I caught his gaze and held it, a sudden flash of irritation burning away my exhaustion.What the hell is his problem?My chest tightened as I glared right back at him. He had no righ
