All Chapters of Howling Hearts: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Those icy blue eyes just stare into my soul, inviting me to intertwine with his. I shook my head at the thought “So do you forgive me?”, were the words that brought me back to reality I’m still supposed to be angry with him, but this mate bond is making it hard for me to think straight.“On one condition,” I suddenly said, surprising myself with the words that came out of my mouth. “Sure, what’s the condition?” he said, smirking at his victory of winning over my forgiveness making me want to make this so much harder on him. “Well for starters you stay far away from my sister. Whatever the two of you had is over with. I don’t share”. He smirked at my words, making me all the more irritated. The moment he wanted to open his mouth and say something I interrupted him. “Also, you have to go down on your knees and say you’re sorry. I mean how else would I know for a fact it is a sincere apology?” I smirked as those words left my mouth and his vanished with no trace on his face.Then s

Scarlet:The drive to Asher’s place was quiet. Not a word was said, not even the sound of the radio. Usually I like the silence but this … is just awkward. The engine was more talkative than Ash at this point in time and it was weird because he usually likes the sound of his own voice. When he eventually stopped the car, he climbed out of the car and made his way to the large building's entrance.When I got out, I tried to see the top of the large building but it was like it never ended. When I looked back toward the entrance again, I got a fright when I saw Ash was out of my sight. I quickly ran into the entrance and was once again stopped in my tracks to take in the spectacular interior. The entrance hall was like I had gone back in time and entered the palace in the baroque era.Gold and marble lined every corner of the hall and reception and it was luxury at its best. Suddenly, someone grabbed my hand and dragged me away from the hall. “Why do you have to move at the speed of a

I woke up to the smell of pancakes filling my room. I’m not even sure when I eventually fell asleep but I did. I grabbed my phone to see what the time was. It was eight in the morning. I threw my phone on the bed and pulled the pillow over my head in hopes of falling asleep again, but then I heard a soft knock on the door. “Red?” I was kind of surprised at the softness in Ash’s voice. “Yes” I said, hoping he would make as if nothing had happened last night because I so wished it didn’t. “Can we talk? I made pancakes as a peace offering”. I grabbed the pillow hoping it would muffle my screams.I don’t think I am ready to face the embarrassment but those pancakes do smell good. “Please”, I heard him plead from the door. We both knew he could rip that door off its hinges if he wanted to, but out of respect, he didn’t. I walked up to the door and waited for a second before I unlocked.“I’ll come out if I am not the breakfast”, I said to him to try and make the tension between us less

“Asher speaking…”My heart pumped at the sound of his voice and I was taken aback, rethinking everything I had done.Am I doing the right thing? Will he think I’m cheesy? Will he laugh at my gesture to make amends?“Who is this?”there it struck me. Right in the gut. He never had my number because we never spoke over the phone. I got his number from Layla a year ago and he never knew.“S…Scarlet” I answered hesitantly. “Red” I heard him grinning through the phone in the way he had said my nickname. “You miss me already”. What he said was true. I was missing him terribly. “No, I just wanted to find out when you would be back” “When you want me to Red. Do you want me home?” his tone of voice sent shivers down my spine. It was so gruff and sexy that if he was here it would be hard for me to keep my hands to myself.“Yes”,Just glided out my mouth, revealing my true thoughts before I even realized it. “I mean yes I don’t want you to” I said quickly, trying to hide my desperation for

After grabbing a shower, I got dressed in some of my own clothes. Luckily, my mom brought a duffle bag with her yesterday containing all my own clothes and fresh undies finally. I got dressed in black wide-legged pants with a stay groovy hippie-inspired shirt and paired with my all-too-trusted doc martins. I found them casual and overall comfortable. I then made my way to the best place in LA that I knew of for tonight’s dress.When I entered Fabuleux robes, a French designer loved by all of La for their unique designs, I knew I would not be disappointed until I was. All of their designs were so avant-garde and way outside of what I was looking for. Dare I say I would’ve loved something a bit more sexy than scary? When I eventually found a beautiful red dress that was calling my name from the moment I set my eyes on it. If a mate could be a dress, I’m sure I feel the mate bond.When I asked one of the girls for help she made her way towards me with an attitude filling her aura. “Can
