Awaken The Giant Within Audiobook Novels & Stories

"Leave us all behind and go find something different for yourself out there. It'll be hard, scary even. But your smart and strong, so strong Scarlet. You've made it this far; you can be free now." "Go." I had found the strength in my legs again, moved from our small corner library to my fathers office, it too was the same, everything was the same expect for me. The world remains as it was a cold cruel and beautiful place filled with ugly people and terrifying monsters, only I had changed; left the day to become a creature of the night. Which is why I didn't flinch when I heard it, the cries carried in through the open window. "Fire!"

Rogers brought her husband in for the second time this week for fighting, it was time to close up and head home. I woke up at noon like I have the last few days after a night at work, but the only thing different today is that I am not alone. I hear noises that jerk me awake but I don’t open my eyes. Well, there goes my solitude and my peace & peace & quiet. Soon after I realized I can’t go back to sleep I opened my eyes and there is a girl my age, beautiful dark mocha skin with natural light brown and black short hair with coffee shade eyes staring straight at me.

FINAL DAY OF THE AWAKENING Chaos’s P.O.V I was awoken by the beating of drums and the echoes of a chant you rarely heard even back in our home realm. A chant that was as old as time itself. I turned to find Xavier leaning against the headboard with his eyes squeezed shut.

Damian’s hand remained at my back, grounding me, but even he seemed to sense that this was no longer a battle against others—it was a reckoning with what I had awakened within myself. The Ashbound formed a circle around the central stones, faces solemn as the lines of molten light expanded outward, intertwining with my own fire. Their whispers carried over the clearing, an ancient cadence that resonated deep inside me. The power hummed louder, vibrating through the forest in waves, and I realized then that the convergence was no longer dormant. It was alive, awake, and aware.

Now it worked perfectly for my plan. My seat was stained with fresh red marks. It seemed they hadn't forgotten me in my absence. I bent down to pick up my scattered books. My foot nudged Tyler's chair. He woke up from the stir and frowned at me. "Sorry, did I disturb you?" I apologized. He looked up and met my gaze. I smiled sweetly and tucked my hair behind my ear. In the past few days, Melissa had nurtured me well with the best of everything. I used to be insecure, dark-skinned, and thin. Now my appearance had changed. The contrast was enough to stun him.

Half an hour later, Derrick came home, reeking of alcohol. I was in the bedroom, applying lotion. Hearing the sound, I turned and said, "You're back. Sorry to bother you, but William has an event tomorrow. We can't let him down." I glanced at his collar, noticing something.

This was about awakening to something greater than he had ever imagined. Kaplan could hear Shan in the background, his pensive pacing and low growls echoing in his mind. Kaplan’s attention wavered as a low, rhythmic sound reached his ears. Shan. He could hear the subtle cadence of the tiger’s pacing, the soft, pensive growls that seemed to echo in his mind. Each step, each rumble resonated with a strange familiarity, tugging at something deep within him—a reminder that he was not alone in this awakening.

“They weren’t rogues. They were… organized. Too calm. Too sure of something they thought I was.” Maxine frowned. “Which is?” I hesitated. That word—awakening—still crawled across my spine. I had heard it in the dark, tied to a chair, breath shaking, Myron unconscious beside me. “She’s awakening,” one of them had said. “If we don’t trigger it now, someone else will.” I wrapped my arms around myself. “They kept talking like there was something inside me. Something that was supposed to… emerge.” Maxine blinked. “Like what? A power?”

Nowhere to hide. This was it. The monster’s claws stretched toward him. And in that moment— Something inside Ethan changed. A strange heat exploded through his chest. His vision blurred. The sound of the world around him suddenly faded. All he could hear was a powerful heartbeat. His heartbeat. And something else. A voice. Deep. Ancient. Awaken. Ethan’s eyes snapped open. They were glowing. Bright silver. The Hunter froze in mid-air. Its body trembled violently before it crashed to the ground in front of Ethan.

Meanwhile, Liana stared at the giant emerging from beneath the temple. She suddenly noticed something strange. The giant wasn't trying to escape. Its eyes... Were still closed. "It's asleep," she whispered. Commander Rylan looked toward her. "What?" "The runes aren't breaking the prison." "They're waking it." Kael's eyes widened. "If it fully awakens..." "The seal will disappear forever." Malachar smiled proudly. "Exactly." The last ancient chain snapped. The giant's head emerged from the darkness. Its face was hidden behind an ancient black helmet crowned with jagged horns.
