” Little one? How? How did you get here?” He gasped seeing both of them in his dreams. She came to him herself instead of him penetrating her dreams himself. She looked different from what she normally looked like in her dreams. She had grown in the past three years and now she has revealed her present appearance to him in his dream, but her wonderful smile was still plastered on her face.
” I had thought I wouldn’t hear you call me little one again” She blushed as she moved closer to him. She reached out to touch his face as he stared at her still dumbstruck. He couldn’t believe it, she came to him. Even though it was through a dream, he was happy to see her.
” So perfect” She muttered trailing her fingers on his face, from his cheekbones to his lips. She nodded and smiled. ” Even without my memories, you remained the most perfect man I ever laid my eyes on”
He grabbed her fingers and dragged her closer to him, engulfing her in a big hug. He was close to tears holding her as if she would burst into bubbles and disappear into nothing in front of him.
” I thought I lost you, I missed you so much” He whispered as buried his face into the scruff of her neck where his mark used to be but another gaunt gash was there instead. He released her suddenly to take a look at the gash. She gasped at the sudden move but he ignored it. He knew someone had marked her and it riled him up beyond the limit but he contained his anger. The bastard even marked her against her will. if she had been willing, the gashes would have healed and turned into a beautiful mark but instead, it resembled more of an infected wound.
” Who did this?” He asked pointing at her wound. She breathed out without a reply. Decanal’s low growl brought his attention to the wolf.
” Beta Howard” The wolf answered in its natural tone. She knew Diana would only ignore the question so she beat her to it instantly.
” He dares?” He snarled dangerously forgetting that it was only a dream, it wasn’t real life where he could do anything he wanted.
” I would say his hands need to be cut off because he can’t keep them to himself” The wolf continued to Diana’s astonishment.
” Stop it Decanal” She snapped glaring at her mouth.
” And you? I finally got to contact you myself but all you can do is get angry at a silly mark? Is this the kiss I deserve?” She shouted at him before turning around in anger. She only wanted to see him and seek comfort from him but damn his stupid possessive nature.
” But another man marked you! Why won’t I be angry?” He yelled back grabbing her hand and turning her around to face him once.
” You should bottle that anger and keep it until I remember your name. And then use the anger to punish my brother properly and fuck! How many times must I tell you to kiss me?” Frustrated beyond words, she huffed at him. He calmed down a little, taking his eyes off the ugly mark. He looked deep into her Hazel eyes which were filled with unshed tears, he hated seeing her cry.
“This is only a dream, you won’t feel it” He whispered but she melted into his arms.
” I don’t care just kiss me” She muttered as she tipped on her toes and brought her hands to the back of his head to get him closer to her. He leaned in closer and placed his lips on hers.
He was wrong, he knew it the moment his lips met her. Even though it was only a dream, he could feel the kiss more than anything. It was like a drop of blood after being starved for a century. His blood boiled as the electric sensation pulsed through his entire body. The way she melted perfectly in his arms and the way their lips molded into each other after missing it for a long time. A tear slipped from her eyes and dropped on his face as he kissed her fervently.
After remembering they needed to breathe, he broke the kiss and she smiled through her tear-soaked eyes.
” See? That wasn’t so hard. All you just had to do was to kiss me.” She teased and he laughed. He had missed her a lot and he made sure to pour those emotions into that simple kiss. He was saving the real dramatic one until the day he finally got to see her physically. He took another look at her, to make sure she was in front of him and she didn’t disappear. She was really in his dream plane and he wasn’t imagining it at all.
” Can you stop before you devour each other? This is only a dream you know?” Decanal huffed beside them and they both laughed at the jealous wolf. She made a funny wolf expression that mimicked her rolling her eyes at them.
” I missed you too, Decanal,” Darryl said petting the wolf on her big head. She only barked in response before replying to him. ” Says the person who lost half of his lifespan just to keep a part of me sealed away. I am complete now what will you do? Seal me away again?”
” I think I will need you whole for now. You need to protect Diana anyway” He shrugged his shoulders scratching the spot behind her ears where he knew she always liked, she responded with a purr. Diana laughed at their interaction, but she knew deep in her mind that she wouldn’t be able to control Decanal once they became one again. The wolf had become blood thirstier with revenge coursing through its veins. If she were to release Decanal without properly training herself first or without her mate beside her, it would lead to a killing spree and innocent pack members would die.
” little one? My love..” Darryl called seeing Diana’s concentration leave them. Something was on her mind and it was evident on her face no matter how much she tried to hide with that smile.
” I’m sorry, something just came to my mind” She blurted out leaning on his shoulders, he had his hands around her instantly.
” Can you share it with me?”
” Why can’t I remember your name? And why does it fade from my hearing if anyone mentioned it besides me?” She asked with a sad expression. He rubbed a clear circle on her back to comfort her.
” It’s Okay little one. You can’t force yourself to, the witch cast a spell that prevents you from hearing it from anyone but you can remember it on your own” He explained to her and she nodded her head not in agreement but she just did it.
” In my memories, I saw you touching my head to erase some of my memories anytime we met under the tree. Can you try and return those memories maybe I will find your name there”
” I can only erase and give back memories in the real world. This is a dream plane, I don’t think it would be possible” He sighed, not because her idea didn’t sound well but because he had never done it before not in a dream plane and not to a werewolf. He used to erase her memories when she was still a human to hide his identity from her and he didn’t bother to return it.
” I visited your dream plane myself, we kissed and you felt it, tell me why it wouldn’t be possible. In case you forgot, I’m no longer a werewolf, I am a human now. Just try and if it doesn’t work out, I will try and remember it myself”
