Howl at me by Cama Seeney (100 best novels of all time .txt) 📖

me. I growled deeply and snapped at his neck waking him again. My feet felt different on the solid concrete. Cigarettes and gum feeling grotesque and smelling just as bad under my paws. My tail moved automatically at the thought of finding Chases pack. I howled once again, calling for help and back up. 

 

Twisting around a corner I nearly slipped but I shifted under Chases weight and carried on. His body was warm on mine, it was weird being this close to another being. Four howls replied my own, their voices filled with pride and fight. It made me run faster and fight harder. I rounded another corner, this time facing the man who had tried to use my weak body. The ginger one, I wanted to tear him limb from limb. I dropped Chase gently and approached this beast. My muscles nearly locked up as he aimed an unfamiliar black object at me. A sound so deadly and loud filled my ears. Pain filled my head and heart.

 

BANG. 

 

Blood slipped out of the hole in my shoulder Instead of slowing down I pounced. My muscles tightening and springing with the effort. I locked my jaws around his arm holding the now familiar weapon. He had shot me. With a gun. He dropped it quickly and wrapped his arms around my throat, cutting off the precious air to my lungs. I whimpered and whined pathetically. I turned and tried biting deeper into his arm. 'Fuck' He growled angrily, squeezing even harder. My paws all scratched at dug into his body trying to push him away from me. I heard Chase move before I saw him. He jumped over my body and went for the man's throat. A midnight black body flew over my head and latched onto his throat cutting off HIS air. HAA how does that feel. The smell of fire filled my senses, making me choke and my eyes water, would I die choking? 

 

We all fell to the ground, smacking loudly to the floor I was finally let go. His grip slack, I looked down at his lifeless eyes. His throat torn to shreds. He was dead. I almost puked at the thought. Bile filled my mouth. Now was not the time! Three wolves rounded the corner at full speed. I yipped happily and ran into two of them. My tail waggling happily.

 

 

'Max? Chase?'

 

'You guys okay?'

 

'We found you!'

 

'Well howdy!'

 

'Tut - Chase you take all of the fun!'

 

'Hello princess'

 

So many voices filled my head, but the last one caught my attention. It was said aloud not in my head. I looked up into Hunters eyes. He was the only one in human form. I closed my eyes warily and then he was in front of me, folding my up in his strong arms. I growled at him in annoyance and nodded my elongated head at chase. Chase fell to the floor proving my point. Hunters eyes found my own odd ones; heating and freezing me all at the same time. I shivered as he put me on the floor once again, missing his head already. 'Mason?' I asked the wolf in front of me. He gave me a toothy grin 'Well of course' His toothy grin met my confused face, I turned to look at another wolf - I had recognised his voice too.

 

'Tig?' I asked worriedly. 'Hell yhea it is!' His snout licking my face once before he turned back towards the barely standing Chase. 'I am Den' Came a really deep voice. He was by far the biggest wolf here by at least half a foot. He truly was massive. 'Maxine' I said rubbing my cheek against his once. 'I am Lee, Dever's Younger brother.' Den growled at the use of his full name but Lee snorted, nudging into his massive brother affectionately. Lee was tiny - yet he was still bigger than me. Tig was a light sandy colour, as was mason. Den and Lee were both slightly different shades of brown but Den was much bigger, darker and his defined muscles more noticeable. 'Come on, lets go before they get back up. I can't hold the door's open much longer.' I told the small group around me. A few heads nodded but Hunter's face was blank.. I didn't think he could hear me. 'You did this?' Tig asked confusion written all over his wolfy face. 'Ugh... yeah I'm kind of a witch.' I shrugged nonchalantly. They all looked flabbergasted but chase who nodded weakly before falling against his best friend Hunter. 

 

Hunter easily carried him as we left. Red flashed before my eyes and distorted my vision every once I a while. My breathing became shallow and I found I could no longer run. I truly was exhausted. I whined accidentally but growled at myself running harder. The pack kept up easily. They expertly travelled through the hall ways. The doors began slamming shut one by one. 'Max!' Mason called worriedly, he was running beside me. 'Can't hold them.' I said weakly. I leaned on his body tiredly but he didn't seem to mind. 'Hold on. Were nearly there. You can do it Maxie Pad' He said instantly annoying me with his nickname. 'Don't call me that. It's not my name. I am not a freaking Tampon or sanitary towel' I ranted as we ran. He chuckled and ran harder, challenging me. I couldn't help it, I sped up. 

 

When we reached the door I licked his cheek affectionately 'Thank you' I told him exhaustedly. He chuckled and rubbed his cheek against mine once. I leaned more on him, wanting to give up. Den sped up, butting his head against my legs. 'Huh?' I asked. 'Can you close everything? Let them son's of bitches burn with that hell hole. We have to make sure every drop of our blood is non existent. We don't want even more humans on our asses!' He asked, so they had set fire to something!. 'Shut , proxima et magicarum. Trap et morari !' I thought over and over again, the wolves surrounding me seemed to lend me their power. Den butting my back legs once again in thanks. 'What did you say?' Lee asked curiously. 'Shut, close and lock. Trap and stay!' I told him automatically. 'What language is that?' He asked keeping my mind off of the pain filling my every thought. 'Hmm Latin I think.' I told him, I was curious myself. 'How, when and why did you learn Latin?' Lee asked making me think harder. 'Hmm I didn't. I wanted freedom from... um something and it happened.' Flashes of the past came back into my mind and the people surrounding me winced. Tig pushed up against my left side telling me he was there for me. 'Well anyway, I never learned Latin. It just happened, it's like cussing when you don't realise it.' Denver chuckled sending me a picture of stubbing his toe and cussing, then cussing again for cussing. I laughed along with him. Eventually we made it to the car, I was so grateful for the people surrounding me, I would for ever be in their debit. But first I needed to lie here and sleep.

 

'Well it was an easy mission. You practically did half the work' Tig said warmly before he shifted back to his human form. I averted my eyes, not wanting to stare at the barely clothed people around me. Rags of clothing surrounded their body's I looked at my feet not wanting them to know how embarrassed I truly was. Once they changed Hunter cleared his throat expecting me to do the same. 'It's okay princess we won't watch.' The people I had already began to love nodded in agreement. I shook my head once. 'Huh you have my word, we need to leave' Hunter said. I shook my head again and he sighed, Denver put his hand on his shoulder 'I don't think that's the problem. Can you Change?' He asked me calmly With wide and thankful eyes I shrugged not knowing how to, I shook my head. 'You don't know how too?' He clarified. I nodded rubbing my face into his hand in appreciation He made a sympathetic sound at the back of his throat. 'Right, you lot get in.' He ordered, Hunter looked annoyed but complied Denver was definitely the oldest, even if Hunter was Alpha they always had to listen to their elders.

 

 

 

 

Flash back's

Chapter 31

 Hunter 

 

She said three repeatedly, does she know what we are? Did she guess!? Or does she mean three hours? Does she plan an escape. I had to play it safe! The next two days were going to bell hell on earth. I had become completely irritable, I'm sure not that my own mother would be able to stand me. Let alone my pack. As we returned to my home I called every person out of hiding, we needed a pack gathering. It was most unfortunate to call everyone out of their beds but it needed to be done. 'EVERY, person who has the capacity to share their views; please come to the meeting. I mean not to scare you but enlighten each and every one on our precious situation. Please meat at the pack home. As you know I have not been Alpha long, but as the job has befallen me I will take every precaution known to man. I need YOUR help.' After that I was left with silence. By the time it took us to get back to the pack house I already felt exhausted. Den rested his hand on my arm allowing me to feel comfort of his presence. Some times I wondered why he wasn't my beta. Chase didn't want the job after all, but a demotion would be shameful. I would never do that to my best friend. Den really was my best warrior; but would that position be enough to keep him at my side? He really would make a better Beta or even Alpha. 

 

As if sensing my thought Den turned to me 'I would never abandon you Hunter. You are not just an annoying Alpha that busts my balls, but you treat me... no us like family.' I'm pretty sure that's the most Den had ever spoken to me, he really was a hard character to grasp. I really hope he can find his mate, Den was smart but I had never really spoken to him. I had always thought he majorly disliked me... Maybe I was wrong after all. 

 

 

I looked around the cramped room, looking at all the familiar faces that surrounded me. Every man woman and child above ten was here. I am surprised we all fit to be honest. I saw my mother in the corner running around with Chases heavy pregnant mother Natalie. She really shouldn't be doing this! I shot Lee a look and nodded at Nat, she was like an ant to me. Lee nudged Mason who was standing next to him and they quickly took off taking over both of the busy woman's job ( which they had taken upon themselves). 

 

I looked at my mothers warn face, She was only forty five yet she looked much older. My father's death had kept her crippled, yet she showed none of the people surrounding her how sad she
