All Chapters of The Half-Life of a Werewolf: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 1Aurora’s POVI said it again, louder this time. “Please stop touching me.”My voice shook, but I meant every word.Mr. Larry either didn’t hear me or didn’t care. His sweaty hand crept higher up my thigh, his breath hitting my face like a mix of cheap coffee and week-old cigarettes.“Come on, Aurora. Don’t be shy,” he said with that same gross smirk he always wore. “You want it.”No. I wanted him fired, fined, and possibly flung into traffic.I leaned in, close enough to see the grease shining on his skin, and said, calm and clear,“You’re just a very disgusting man.”Then I spat in his face.He froze—shocked, furious. For a second, I thought I’d won. But then he wiped his cheek slowly, the spit glistening on his fingers, and looked at me with a smirk that made my stomach twist.Without warning, his hand shot out and grabbed my breast.That was it.I shoved at his chest, but he pinned me tighter to the storage room wall. Panic screamed in my head. I twisted, squirmed. Nothin

Chapter 3Seventeen years ago........Grandma Rose’s POVThe smoke alarm was screaming like a banshee. I flapped a tea towel like my life depended on it, cursing the fancy non-stick pan that apparently didn’t understand the concept of non-stick.“Oh fiddlesticks! Why did I try something new today?” I muttered, fanning the burnt lasagna like it was a disgruntled cat.I’d bought the new cookware to impress Amber—my son Raymond’s girlfriend. First impressions are everything, and I wanted her to think we were a respectable family, not one that battles cookware like it’s a wild animal.The doorbell rang.“Oh heavens, they’re here!” I yanked off my apron, fluffed my curls in the hallway mirror, and slapped a smile on my face.“Raymond, my big boy!” I wrapped him in a bear hug that nearly knocked his glasses off. “And you must be Amber! Aren’t you just a delicate flower. Come in, come in!”The house still smelled vaguely of scorched cheese, but I herded them in and set the table like I hadn’

Chapter 5Liam’s POVIn another realm far from human lands…“You’re so dumb,” I snapped, slamming my fist on the table. “You weren’t supposed to talk to her!”The omega flinched. The night before was the full moon. I had to warn her.“I told you to watch her silently—silently!” I barked. “You showed yourself to her? At a restaurant?! Around humans?!”He stuttered something about it not being crowded and that she didn’t recognize him.I rolled my eyes so hard I swear the ancestors felt it. “Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. You’ve just risked exposing our world because you couldn’t keep your furry little mouth shut. “Get out of my sight!”He bolted like a kicked pup. Honestly, the omegas are supposed to be the quietest and most obedient. And yet, this is what I get assigned?I paced the floor of my war room—barefoot, because boots are overrated when you’re full of rage—and cursed the universe under my breath. Again.“Why? Why is my mate half human?” I growled, dragging my hands through

Chapter 7Raymond’s Pov My eyes opened slowly, the world around me coming into focus in pieces. I was lying on a massive bed—its frame carved from dark, polished wood, the kind that looked like it had been here for centuries. Heavy curtains draped from the canopy above me, thick enough to block out sunlight. The room itself felt ancient yet rich—stone walls lined with tapestries, a roaring fireplace casting flickering shadows across gold-trimmed furniture. The air smelled faintly of woodsmoke and something wilder… like the forest after rain. Where am I? I tried to sit up, but my body felt light and weak, Then— The door burst open. My heart jumped. I looked toward it, tense, unsure whether to be afraid or to shout for help. A man stepped inside. He was tall—easily over six feet—with broad shoulders and a strong, muscular build. He looked around my age, maybe a little older, his dark hair wild and his beard just enough to make him look dangerous. There was something anim

Chapter 9 Raymond’s POV I tried to process everything I’d just heard, but my brain felt like it had swallowed a brick. Was this real? “Wait… am I seriously hearing this? All of this is real? Are there… other creatures?” I asked, half expecting him to say unicorns. Then it hit me. “Why would you think I’d still agree to date Amber after hearing all this? I mean, she’s an animal! She hunts, she kills, she’s sworn to all these oaths and—no offense—I’m not cut out for that. I just wanted a normal life.” “I love Amber so much, D…” “Damian,” he corrected with a raised brow. “Right. Damian. I just don’t think I can be part of… whatever this is.” He held up a hand. “Hold on. Who said it’s all bloodshed and fur every five minutes? You can live peacefully. There’s only bloodshed during war, and it’s been peaceful for a long time now. Amber loves you, and you love her. And she’s carrying your child! Don’t you want to feed your kid and carry her on your back?” “Her? She’s a girl? M
