All Chapters of Howl I Met My Mate: The Plus-Size Human’s Secret: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"Get your silver-coated claws off that latch, Tristan, before I rip your heart out through your ribs," I growled, my full, heavy thighs bracing against the shaking frame of the Moon Chariot."I am not standing down while you bled half your life force into a human mattress!" Tristan snapped back, his dark wolf eyes flaring crimson in the dim interior light as he blocked the doorway of Silverclaw Dominion Hall. "Rowan Ashcroft brought three Alpha Council Elders to the border. If you walk into that Beta Command Office smelling like a human female, they will strip your title before the sun sets.""Let them try," Lucien rumbled, his massive six-foot-four frame filling the carriage as his broad, muscled chest expanded beneath his ripped tunic. Fresh crimson blood leaked through the linen wraps binding his torso, the dark metallic stench of silver poison thick in the air. "Freya took our half-breed children back to Holloway Manor. If Rowan thinks she can use my bloodline to corner me, she is

The old stone manor sat tucked into the thick foliage of the Silverclaw borderlands, its ancient oak beams heavy with the scent of dried sage and pine. Inside the dining room, four pairs of eyes watched the table in silence."You should not have brought us back to the Dominion, Freya," my mother, Martha Holloway, growled softly. Her human hands trembled as she set down a platter of roasted meat. "If you step foot near the Bennett Citadel again, you must bind your life to Elias Whitmore. It is the only way to keep the pack elders from tearing you apart."Little Freya Bennett Jr. sat on my lap, completely unbothered by the heavy air. She reached her chubby fingers toward the wooden bowl of sweet egg custard. "Mommy, feed me!"I scooped a bite with a wooden spoon and slipped it into her mouth, my heart aching as I looked down at her soft, human-like features.Beside me, my five-year-old son, Kieran, let out a heavy, frustrated sigh that sounded entirely too old for his small chest. His g

"I don't need a ride from a human like you," I snapped, my plus-size frame tensing as the scent of old iron and copper rolled off the cab driver.My inner wolf, dormant for years, gave a low, protective growl deep in my chest. A face like this man's had flashed across my mind the moment he pulled up. It was a face identical to the truck driver who had swerved directly toward my car six years ago during my tragic crash. I had been terrified then, and the phantom scent of burning rubber and blood still clung to my lungs. I remembered every detail.The official Silverclaw Alpha Council investigation had ruled it a mechanical failure—a brake line snap. The human cab driver in my car had died instantly, and I had been left broken. The truck driver was deemed blameless, though he held minor liability. Elias Whitmore had whisked me out of the Bennett Alpha Dominion's territory to the human realm to heal my shattered body, leaving me completely in the dark about the aftermath.If the brakes m

"Step back from the console right now, Kieran!" I yelled, my heart hammering against my ribs as I slammed the door to our private quarters shut.I was trembling so hard the heavy brass door handle rattled under my palm. I stared down at my five-year-old pup, my mind spinning into pure panic. My eyes darted to the glowing crystal slate lying shattered on the floorboard, its blue light pulsing in the dim room."What were you looking up on the Pack Network, Kieran? Who told you to search for that?"Kieran pulled his small shoulders back, his little hands clenched into tight fists at his sides. He pressed his lips into a thin line, refusing to look me in the eye."Answer me!" I stepped closer, my voice cracking with an emotional weight I couldn't hide. "Why would a child your age be searching for human suppressants and silver-weave restraints? Do you have any idea how dangerous those search terms are on the Silverclaw network?""I don't care," Kieran muttered, his small jaw setting in a s

“Did you really think you could run from a Silverclaw Royal, Freya Holloway?”The deep, gravelly voice vibrated directly down my human spine, cutting through the heavy stench of wet pine and territorial warning pheromones hanging in the twilight air. My breath hitched, a sudden spike of adrenaline burning through my lungs as I gripped my worn fabric tote bag tightly against my side. I shifted my weight, my curvier frame feeling impossibly heavy, raw, and vulnerable against the towering, predatory presence blocking the entrance of the Bennett Alpha Dominion Hall.Lucien Bennett stood under the massive carved stone archway of the territory hall, his golden Alpha eyes glowing faintly in the dim evening light, locking onto me with absolute, suffocating possession.“I was not running, Alpha Bennett,” I forced out, my human vocal cords trembling despite my desperate attempt to sound composed. “I was just leaving after speaking with your Beta Council Secretary.”“You do not address me by my
