Page 19 of Her Werewolf Protector

Arching my back, I threw my head back and let out a howl.

I was going to find her and god help the person who tried to take her from me.

Chapter 10

Sophia

I was long past putting on a brave front. As the sun started to lower behind the mountains and give way to nightfall, my hopes that he’d find me were holding on by a thread.

“Aliyah. You said earlier that your name was Aliyah, right?”

“I’m never going to find out who murdered the husband if you keep interrupting me.”

“Well, I’m sorry,” I snapped.“You just kidnapped me and I might never see the man I love again because of you.” Tears filled my eyes.“I may never get to say goodbye.”

“If your bond is strong enough, then he’llfind you. If not then it won’t matter will it?”

“How can you be so heartless?”

“Heartless? Me? You should be thanking me. I’m the one who is going to save you both from yourselves. You’re welcome.”

“That’s rich.When he finds me – and hewillfind me – I’llget you back for this.”

A burst of laughter erupted from her.“Honey, you’re a human. I’m about as scared of you as I amof a bunny rabbit. Just sit tight.”

“He loves me.”

“We’llsee.” Turning her head, she looked through the window I’d been peering out.“Sun’s almost gone. Tick-tock, Sophia. Tick-tock. I had high hopes for you two, I really did.”

“He’llfind me,” I whispered.

As the day wore on I realized that she was right about one thing. The panic within me, the panic I was feeling at the prospect of never seeing my werewolf lover again made me realize that I couldn’t leave here. Not without him.

My life outside of this town was shallow. Until I arrived here, I spent my days hoping to fill a hole within me that I wasn’t able tofill with shopping, or parties, or followers on Instagram. What I needed, money could never buy.

In one week, I realized that I needed more. I needed that second half of me. I needed a partner who would love me despite my faults. Someone who would stand with me through everything life had to throw at us. That was what was missing, what I’d been searching for.

What I’d been searching for. What I’dbeen needing was Roosevelt.

The sun disappeared leaving darkness.

When would our time end? At midnight? Or would we have until sunrise? I hadn’t thought to ask about the specifics of thecurse.

Then it happened. A howl bellowed in the night. A howl so loud and powerful that it sent shivers down my spine.

Roosevelt. It was him. I could feel him getting closer.

I sat up straight against the pole, wiping the tears on the shoulder of my t-shirt.“He’s coming. I can feel him.”

“’Bout fucking time. I was starting to think he’d never show.” Getting up, she placed the book on the tiny bookshelf that contained perhaps a couple dozen books.

The howl sounded again. Closer this time.

My pussy clenched as if anticipating our reunion.

“That’s my cue to get the fuck out of here.” Making her way over to the front door she opened it up and then turned back to look at me.“You can thank me tomorrow. See you around, human.” She left the front door open and disappeared out of sight.

“Could have at least untied me,” I grumbled.“I stillgotta pee.”
