The Midnight Howling

Scents

7 years later in Tharns life,

A/N: before reading here, you must need to read the previous page, to avoid confusion. Thank you!

Tharn POV:

I'm standing on the highest building here in Europe, they called it a skyscraper. It's mine!

After the attack and losing my Luna, I promise to myself that I will do everything to give them justice, especially those who died in a battle.

Ah! My Luna!

Sipping the wine in my hand, I let it stay in my mouth for a while before swallowing it, enjoying the bittersweet taste.

I have everything in my hands now to start my revenge, will I started to get justice three years ago, I enter the business world, building the highest and most beautiful buildings of all.

I start entering the entertainment industry and build a large company that gives a big profit to every investor.

The TRIMIX LYCAN INDUSTRY has 10,000+ employees, half of them are my fellow werewolves. Though almost the human didn't know we exist, we are still on guard and alert about our Manners and actions.

The company's name is a message itself, a lycanthrope, a human-wolf owned it. Slowly targeting the company of our enemy, slowly they go down one by one.

Standing here in the tallest area of the building, in my room, I look out to the city life beneath me. The busy pictures of humans have no end, their selfishness and arrogance help me reach my goal.

"Alpha! " ah! The voice I am waiting for! That voice pulled me out of my reverie.

"Thorn, speak! " I'm smiling like crazy, excited to what the news would be.

"The package is ready to deliver !" I grinned more at what my beta said.

"Did you do it per my instruction? " I know of course it will be on a perfect box.

"Yes Alpha, we pull out their eye socket, cut their ten fingers, and Peel the skin to where the mark of being a wolfhound hunter is, and also, there is a necklace on each of them, so we put it also in the box. " my beta knows how to satisfy me.

"Hmmm, Very well, our boys know where to deliver it right? Make sure they will receive it, in good condition. " I look like a psycho now, smiling to myself.

"No worries Alpha, they know what to do! "

We cut off our mind link immediately after that conversation.

7 years have passed but the enemy is still pestering us, every time they send a bunch of hunters in the territory they are dead before they even take another step.

We peel off their skin that has a tattoo of a wolfhound hunter. We cut their body parts and feed them to the rogues. But we send them the skin that we peel off, their eyes, and fingers, sometimes, we deliver them their hearts.

It's so satisfying to see the shock, surprise, and horror on their faces every time they open the box. They have sent four groups already in seven years, but we killed them all.

Yes! I plant a mole on the enemy's ground, I have all the access to all their plans, I have all the records of the member, but one person I wanted to meet, the person who killed my luna.

"We know already where he lived, what stopping you to end him. " Wolfrik said.

"Easy buddy! We will get there, let's play a little first, that will be fun! " I answered my wolf through our mind link.

"Whatever! But promise me, that I will be the one to rip his heart when the time comes.! "Wolfrik developed a thirst for blood. He wanted to kill always, he lost his patience after losing his mate.

"Yes bud, I will offer him to you, when the right time comes! " I took a deep breath, and fix myself. I will go out to visit the pack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leaving my unit, I walk towards the elevator, I'm the only person living on the highest floor of this building. The elevator lights up indicating that it's ready to go down, I press the ground floor button, and relax, leaning on the wall of that moving room.

I was tapping myself on the floor of the lift when the elevator stop on the 21st floor, my nose immediately caught the smell of sandalwood mix in vanilla and jasmine. I look up when the person enters and press the first floor.

I'm looking at him intently, filling my lungs with his scent. This can't be.

"Tharn, that smell, it's our mate smell! The moon goddess gives us a chance. " Wolfrik is wagging his tail, turning around like crazy, it makes my head hurts.

I didn't get to answer him, I am blatantly looking at the person in front of me, without blinking my eyes, his scent makes me and my wolf crazy.

"f**k" I heard him cuss, he massaged his temple, eyes closed tightly, he is sniffing the air, his one hand is holding the lift handle tightly.

"He has no wolf scent in him Rik, why he is sniffing the air as if he is smelling something?. " I asked my wolf, he should know better.

I was surprised when he's about to fall, and quickly catch him, he is pale, his eyes closed with shallow breathing.

"Hey, are you okay? " I was surprised with my tone, it's calm and full of worried.

"M-my head, it's hurt! " he answered me, a single drop of tear fall from his eyes.

His breathing becomes even, as I was holding him, I realize that my hand is on his waist, he takes another deep breath, near my neck. It feels wonderful. My wolf wants to take over.

Surprised by his action, he push me away and apologize. He avoids my gaze and just looks at the floor. He sweating cold, he is affected by a sudden distant of our skin.

This is impossible, he is a human but he acting like a wolf that found his mate. He sat on the floor, he is shaking.

Fuck! Why does he smell so good and f**k!! Why does our ride on this elevator felt so long?

I come near to him again, wrapping my arm around him, I felt his breathing in my chest.

"Look at me, I need to see your eyes" catching his breath, his eyelids flutter, he look up to meet my eyes and I felt like thousand-volt travel through my body.

His left eye is crystal blue while the other is Hazel Brown. He is a werewolf.

The elevator on the first floor open, and I felt that he wanted to go out.

"Stay away please, just let me go! " he crawled his body to get off the lift.

I can't move on my position, still, shock at what I see. Staring at him his crystal blue eyes, fading slowly, replace by his hazel brown eyes, it's the color of his human eyes.

The door slowly closing between us, we're still staring at each other.

"i***t!! Tharn, get a hold of yourself, and get our mate! " Wolfrik shout inside my head.

It's too late, the lift travel down on the ground floor, to the carpark. I press the close button again and press one.

Restless, I got out of the lift and look around, sniffing his scent in the hallway but I failed.

"No this can't be, I need to find him! " I run and walk around the first floor, but failed to see him. His scent fades quickly. I even sniff every door but failed.

I halted my step when I heard a familiar voice, I quickly turn around, and open the exit door, used the stair to the ground floor.

It's not the right time to meet you Mr. Thiwat, but I promised you will get your due at a right time.

The feeling of anger occupied my whole being, forgetting the urge to find my mate.

Type POV:

After we received the approval letter for our vacation, I immediately called my father for the good news. He was so happy that he booked me a room in one of the highest buildings in Europe, my dad said it's a skyscraper.

Entering the hotel, I show my confirmed letter to the concierge. She smiled at me while checking my name on the computer.

"21-floor sir, room 1204, here's your key, enjoy your stay, sir! " I smiled back at her, without answering. I walk to the waiting area to ride the elevator.

Riding up to the 21st floor, the elevator open. I walk past it and look for my room number. I insert the key to the keyhole of the door and open it.

Waiting for me is a massive room, wide living room, with a complete set of appliances.

A clean kitchen, above the table, was a basket of fruits courtesy of the hotel. I walk to my bedroom and was amazed by its size and color, as If my dad chooses all the decorations based on my taste.

A King size bed, with bedding of black and gray color, a long white sofa in the corner, and 64 inches of tv on the wall facing my bed.

Contented and happy, I decided to call my dad.

"Hello son, I'm on my way there, take a shower I will treat you to dinner, save all your rants later, bye! "

I didn't get to answer, he cut off the line. I just smiled at his Manners.

I take a shower and change my clothes, I send a message to my dad that I'm ready to meet him, I get out of my room and headed to the lift again.

Tapping my feet on the floor while waiting for the elevator, when my nose caught the smell of strawberry and chocolate. I didn't look at the person inside the lift, my mind was occupied by the sweet smell that taunting my nostrils.

I felt my head spinning, sniffing the air, I realized that the smell comes from the man behind me. I massaged my temple to relax my throbbing head, I felt like I will collapse anytime.

"f**k " I said to myself not knowing that I said it out loud.

I hold the handrail beside me, to prevent myself from falling but my knees felt like jelly. When suddenly I feel the warmest embracing, wrapping my waist, I inhale the sweet smell coming from him, my headache slowly fading.

Realizing my action, I push him and stand up again, but my body reacts to a sudden loss of contact, I fix my gaze on the floor to control my feelings, my body is aching on his warm embrace, I wanted to pull him more closer.

I feel my breathing became shallow, cold Sweat began to form in my forehead, my body shaking even when it's not cold.

I feel the man come near to me again, and without a second thought, he put his arms around me again.

"Look at me, I need to see your eyes! " curious about what he meant to say. I look at him.

I saw how his face changed to a surprised reaction, "what? What did you see? I want to ask him, but his embrace draining my energy.

I heard the elevator sound, indicating that I reach my floor.

"Stay away please, just let me go! " without waiting for his response, I crawl out of the elevator and lean my body to the wall in the hallway.

The door closing slowly, we are just staring at each other, I felt a sudden sadness and pain inside me. I feel like I want to run into him again and enveloped myself in his warm body.

Before the door completely closed, I saw his brown eyes turn to red, those sights make my body tremble with fear.

I pull myself up and walk quickly to where the restaurant of the hotel is, panting, thinking if my eyes played a trick on me, a shake my head to forget all that happened.

"Son? " I look up and there's my father looking worried at me. "Are you okay, you look pale? " he looks around, and call someone, to give us some water.

"Tell me, what happened? " he opened the bottle of water and give it to me.

I take a deep breath and choose to lie to him, I don't want him to worry.

"I'm fine dad, I just ran faster here, I'm excited to see you! " half-lie, I smiled at him and hug him.

"You silly boy, we have three months to bond. Let's go, I'm sure you're hungry. " I smiled at him and pull him inside the resto not because I'm really hungry, but because, the sweet smell of strawberry and chocolate is lingering behind me.
