The Howl Within: A Werewolf Romance of Love, Loss, and Legac chapter 31
Chapter 31I have walked into the kitchen for the first time since I was brought into this mansion, however, only to distract myself from the thoughts that only roamed around Alex. The encounter I had with him early this morning was still unnerving me in some manner and the last thing I wanted was to let the fear be alive within me once again. I prepared the cookie dough, my eyes absentmindedly focused on the scenery outside the window. It allowed me to look at the beautiful garden outside but that eye-catching view did not help me forget. I absentmindedly began drifting into the thoughts of Alex once again. Was it worth it to keep fighting or all of it was directing me to turn into a whole different person whose heart will be as cold as Alexs? No. I was not going to give up. What will giving up reward me? Nothing but regrets and a life that might be without pain but that wouldn't hold any meaning as well. There was nearly a pin-drop silence in the kitchen. No maids were working

"Ma'am, Alpha sent you this dress to wear tonight." A maid handed me a few bags before she got out of my sight. I curiously opened the bags and the first thing that caught my attention was the wine-red gown. My brows rose in surprise as I looked at the gown. It was stunningly elegant, the stones, embroidery, laces, and embellishments complimented the beautiful dress, and the side slit cut skirt made the gown look even prettier. It was hard to take my eyes off the dress yet I managed to get myself to look at the other bags. When I opened the second bag, there was a blue velvety box. I took it in my hand and unlocked it. There was a beautiful ruby necklace and earring set. It could be said without needing to examine twice that this was worth more than a fortune. I moved to the next bag and there was a pair of lace-up ankle strap high heels. It screamed the same luxury as the other accessories. The fact that he spent so much for the sake of one party surprised me. However, it added

Chapter 33There was something strangely enchanting about Alex dressed in all black. He has worn a black suit, and the jet-black color went way too well with his lightly tanned skin. The contrast hit differently. Even though he didn't look at me even once since we got inside the car, I miserably failed to take my eyes off him. With his hair swept backward and gorgeous features standing out under the faint light of the vehicle, He looked breathtaking in a way that could make anyone fall for him with just one single glance. How could someone be so handsome and cruel at the same time? Sighing, I finally gathered the strength to look away and focused my gaze outside through the window. The ride to the party was not too long, it took us around twelve minutes to reach the place. The car stopped in front of the gate of the hotel which looked less like a hotel and more like a palace. Alex was super wealthy, and of course, I had expected this party to be held somewhere fancy but this giga

Chapter 34I felt dizzy. Extremely dizzy and tipsy. However, I could not stop drinking. The more I watched that woman's hands around him, the more I saw them together, every cell of my body burned with rage. I'd only taken a few gulps from the bottles and it hadn't even been more than ten minutes. However, the effects of alcohol were not only strong but overpowering. I'd never consumed anything alcoholic, but even for non-alcohol drinkers, I could tell that this was not normal. Anyone in their right mind could notice the suspicious quick effects, and I did not fall behind in that category, but Alas! I simply was not in the state to care. The back of my head fucking hurt and my eyes were fighting to shut down but it was not clear whether it was because of the scene going in front of me or just another of these weird effects of this drink on me. Surely I was not in my right mind, but the only thing I knew at this time. Surely I was not in my right mind, but the only thing I knew at t

Chapter 35"Alex.." His name fell out of my lips on its own, and a strange relief flooded within me. The fear that'd strangled me, vanished in thin air. The sight of him alone made me feel safe and secure even though it was not how it was supposed to be. How could I feel secure with the one whose only intention was to hurt me? He looked at me, his eyes softening for a brief moment but then when David let out a groan in pain, all I could see was the very familiar dark eyes of Alex and the flames of the wrath that was capable of destroying everything in a matter of a second. "David” Alex called, his brows rising as if he was just acknowledging his presence.He stepped closer to David who still hadn't managed to get himself off the ground. " Why did you decide to do this to yourself?” The sympathy in Alex's voice wasn't real, "Dared to touch something that is not yours, and you have to pay with your life in return. David moved backward, dragging himself back as he shook in fear, “Al

Chapter 36I was a whole different person before we get to the mansion. I couldn't tell whether I even remembered my name, however, I did not have to be told twice that I still knew every syllable of someone's name and that someone was none other than my mate whose anger hadn't lessened even the slightest bit yet he kept me cradled to his chest like some precious belonging that needed to be protected. "You are strange,” I murmured burying my head into his chest, "You try to act like someone you are not but always end up leaving clues to the one you are in reality, but for some reason, try to force others to believe what you pretend to be in real life. Everything about you is so strange, but I still can't stop loving you." "If you were not this drunk, I wouldn't mind beating some sense into you," His voice was not as harsh as it always had been, "You have completely lost your mind." "No, I haven't," I muttered, "I'm telling you my feelings." "I don't want to hear about your feeling

Chapter 37Alex's fists balled up to his sides, his breathing picked up an unusual pace and lust flared in his eyes, but he remained still, unmoved, and tied with invisible restraints. “ Emily, Just go and change." He said I could not fathom why he was so reluctant to touch me today. He never acted like this, for a person whose only way to any sort of calm was my body, it was strange how he was acting today but the reason was still unknown. “What has happened to you? Is your dick broken?" I frowned, a look of disappointment spreading over my face. His face reddened with anger and undeniable frustration. I have been putting him through this entire time. "Go and change." He ordered, strictly. "You know what you are not a cutie, the name was too cute for a rude, arrogant, jerk like you,” I said, my anger surely could have competed with the amount of his rage, "You are a pig. A stupid pig.” “What did you just say?” He looked beyond pissed. I knew the only thing stopping Alex from

Chapter 38‘Her words echoed inside of my head over and over again in a continuous, never-ending loop, wiping any traces of sleep away from my eyes, keeping me wide awake for obvious reasons I tended to avoid. It felt weird to hear those words in repeat. Why did she love me after everything I have done to her? How could she still try to love me and bring me back from where I preferred to stay? I wanted the darkness, then why was she trying to drag me to face the light that she hoped would prevail as an escape for both of us? It was hate that she was supposed to feel for me, not the love she was surging over me every day and every second. I glanced down at her, hearing the faint sound of her relaxed breathing as she slept on top of me. I knew she was Sleeping because the only time she remains this unguarded was when she was asleep, other than that, it'd always be her trying to stay careful with every little thing, every small movement she makes or even breathing and making a sound.

He slowly closed the door, surprisingly not with a loud slam like all the other times. Something about him felt strange, at first, I could not identify it but when the smell of strong liquor hit my nose I finally realized why his movements were slightly unsteady. He was drunk. Alcohol and cigars were a part of his daily life, it was no surprise for me to smell alcohol from him, however, today he looked a bit too consumed by the effects of the liquor. His movements were barely collected. Deep down I was expecting the worst. Alex's arrival has never brought any good news for me. From the very first day, he stepped into my life, everything has been a living nightmare for me, that I wanted to escape so badly but failed every time. Perhaps, if someone else had brought me from the auction, things could have been even worse than this but, at the very least, I wouldn't have to live with the fact that it was my mate who left no levels to stoop to hurt me, put me through hell. He turned a

Chapter 42Jasmine's POV I waited for the phone to ring for a solid twenty minutes until it finally rang, breaking the burdening silence of the room. I received the call quickly, hoping to hear the news I have been waiting for, “Hello. Has he left yet?” "It took a bit of work, but yeah, he left." The response from the other side made me finally release the breath I did not know I had been holding on to for so long. Finally... It was a relief that the plan was finally working and he was coming out of his cold facade. Although it was still not sure if this change of one night was going to be permanent. Alex was absolutely capable of holding himself together till the last bit, nothing could be comparable to how strong he was when it came to pushing away everything he has, to hold onto something he doesn't want to let go. If there was anything he truly treasured from the bottom of his heart, that was his curse and now, perhaps, It was Emily who undoubtedly held more importance to h

But I did not want to get too lost in it. How could I ever wipe her off of my head when she was there in every beat in my heart, every breath I took? She has captivated me in a way none would ever be able to do, she trapped me under her unforgettable dazzling eyes. I felt guilty to even look at her after everything I put her through. Nothing can justify my actions, I did not deserve her. Despite everything I did, she was still trying to heal me, selfless and willing to forgive my sins that crossed every boundary. How could someone love a monster like me? How could she still care for a demon who left no chance to make her feel miserable and snatch everything away from her? She deserved better. But...I can't let her go. It was now a choice between her or my curse. The curse that helped me survive, or the woman who wanted to make me alive once again. “Alpha, I think you shouldn't drink anymore," Steve's voice broke through my crowded thoughts, "You have already consumed too much.”

Chapter 40 "Show me the CCTV footage of yesterday," I told Andrew who immediately ordered one of his guards to bring his laptop. They worked fast, wary about their movements as I had already let them know that I was more than willing to kill them if they failed to give me the right information. So, it was either do or die for them, although my situation was not so stable as well. The argument with Emily has left me and my beliefs shaken. She fucked me up pretty badly, and my last statement before I exited the room, did the same thing to her in return. I had seen it in her eyes, I had broken her. “Alpha, here's the footage.” Andrew opened the video, connecting the laptop to the big monitor for a better view. "Speed it up." I barked, tapping the ash of the cigar on the ashtray beside me as I fixated my eyes on the screen, to be very specific, my mate. There was no question that a werewolf's eyes will miss any of the odd changes or even the slightest movements that did not go with

Chapter 39When I woke up, I found myself tucked under the duvet. Yawning, I stretched my hands over my head and sat up. A sudden invisible force attacked my head from all sides, forcing my body to fall on the surface of the bed, however, that did not happen as the memories from last night came flooding inside of my mind like a tsunami but somehow inexact and glitched. I'd gone to the party with Alex... But what happened after that? The glitched memories kept flashing in front of my eyes until my mind acknowledged the entire event. I almost got raped yesterday... Chills of terror ran down my body, I felt sick to my stomach even at the thought of that guy being near me. Calm down. You are safe, he saved you. I blew out a sigh of relief when the thought of Alex murdering David crossed my mind For the first time, the thought of somehow being dead was providing me comfort; Made me feel safe and secure. My eyes glanced around the room in search of any sign of Alex but no, there we
