Mine novel Chapter 27

The whole pack shuddered at the sound of that howl. They could recognize the howl any day, anytime because it came with much authority as compared to that of other werewolves in the pack. They were all shocked to hear their alpha express so much pain but no one dared to go outside their home after hearing his howls because the last time they heard him howl with this level of pain was when he lost his younger sister. After that incident, Roy became cranky and aggressive, hurting anyone who dared to challenge him. The only person who could calm him was his uncle and father's beta, Alan, but his uncle also tried not to overstep his boundaries by taking chances when in his wolf form because his wolf would feel threatened and may end up killing him. So the pack members respectfully remained inside the pack house and their various homes, feeling pity for their alpha.

Roy returned home by midnight. He walked into the living room and found Kimberly asleep on the couch with a tear stained face. He wanted to hold her and kiss away her pain but he wouldn’t. As much as his wolf wanted to, he wouldn’t accept a mate who was human, a weak specie whose heart belonged to someone else. As if to confirm his thoughts, Kimberly started to stir in her sleep, like she was having a nightmare.

“Ian please come back to me. I love you, please come back”

He heard her murmur in her sleep. He growled in anger and walked out of the living room.

Kimberly woke up the next morning with a terrible body ache from sleeping on the couch all through the night. She frantically looked around when she remembered why she was in the living room in the first place. When she didn’t spot him anywhere, she quickly stood up from the couch and ran upstairs to look for him. Only when she got upstairs did she realize that she had no idea where his room was. She decided to check on all the doors that were upstairs because she wasn’t willing to just quit the search.

Kimberly started to open the doors, one after the other. There were two plain rooms, like the one she was currently in. She guessed they were all guest rooms but the next room she opened caught her attention. It was a beautiful bedroom with a feminine touch of pink, the bed was neatly dressed in pink sheets. Everything seemed to be in place, but Roy was the only one in this house as far as she could tell, so whose room could this be? She wondered, taking a step inside.

“What are you doing in here?”

She heard an angry yet familiar voice ask, making her flinch in surprise.

“I-um. I w-was…”

“Don’t you ever step foot in this room ever again!” he growled, dragging her out of the bedroom and slamming the door behind her.

“I-I’m sorry, I was only looking for you. I g-got so s-scared when you went out there a-alone” she struggled to explain, staring at her feet the whole time in order to avoid his angry gaze.

“Learn to mind your own business” he warned before storming downstairs, leaving Kimberly in tears.

She knew she was to blame for his sudden change in behavior and it saddens her. She should never have reacted the way she did towards him yesterday when all he did was try to help her. She would apologize for her awful behavior but the problem is, how was she going to do that now?

Roy knew that wasn’t the right way to treat his mate but he couldn’t help it. He was upset with her because she doesn’t see him the same way he sees her so how was he ever going to claim her as his? Besides that, humans were very picky and arrogant people, what would be her reaction when he eventually tells her that he was a werewolf and she was his mate? Would she even understand a word he would say? Was his ever going to tell her? He still couldn’t bring himself to come to the terms that his mate was a human.
