My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 36

Love that was never meant to be.

Yes, the source of the man-beasts is due to the wish of a human woman who wanted to become

one with a wolf she grew to love so much. It was an abominable emotion, forbidden from imagination,

nonetheless it was her deepest desire.

As one who saved her from death countless times when others abandoned her, the wolf was kind

to her, unlike other humans who shunned her even as a little girl. Initially she was afraid of the beast,

like every other person. However, with time, as she saw it’s kindness and gentle nature coupled with

it’s savagery, she grew to love him. So much so that she wished every night that she could be with it

out in the open, enjoying the night air, rather than staying in the stuffy little settlement where she

resided. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Then suddenly, her desires were answered. No one knows whether her prayers were heard by the

gods or the devil himself, all they knew was that this single person triggered the existence of something

neither man nor beast. Her wish took the form of a curse, causing her to transform into a beast under a

full moon.

So, for every full moon, she became a wolf and was finally able to run together, eat together, and

share many memories together with her wolf companion, which wasn’t possible before. Every full moon

she would howl together with her wolf lover as they shared the night together. She was truly in bliss

and wished the moments she spent with him would last till eternity.

However, as is the unfortunate reality of the world, not every happy moment lasts forever. This

unholy union was found out by humans, and as was natural for them… They hunted her and the beast

down. The girl, now a young woman, in human form, was no watch for the crowd of humans who

pursued her and desired for her to be hanged or burned alive, both If it were possible.

They closed in on them and it was obvious that it was only a matter of time before they caught up

to them.

“Awooooooooo” The wolf howled.

He nudged the woman to go on ahead and stayed behind to protect her, giving her a reassuring

nod that he would return to her side to protect her.

The wolf secured the woman’s escape and fought off the human aggressors. Unknown to him, and

even to her at the time… The woman was already pregnant with their child. The brave and noble wolf

bought time for her and their unborn child to escape, sacrificing himself for his family before he met his

inevitable end.

Spears, swords and arrows all pierced the wolf’s body as he whimpered. He throbbed and shook,

losing blood yet struggling to fight. He didn’t stop fighting until his last breath, and as he took his final

breath, in his last moments… Memories of what could have been flashed before his eyes. Perhaps his

animal instincts could not comprehend it, perhaps his primitive brain could not understand… But, right

before his death, he let out one final howl filled with the last of his emotions. It was sad, it was painful…

He couldn’t express the right words since he wasn’t human. The words he had heard countless times

from the woman, he could not repeat them.

However, he tried his best and gave out his final

“Awooooooooooo!!!!!”

He died that day, not able to say the words, but able to pass across his message to the woman he

cherished and protected even in his dying breath. As she heard his voice from the distance where she

was, tears fell from her eyes. She understood his howl, she knew what he meant.
