‘Mira Where are you? What happened?’
Ugh.. it’s Leo.
‘I don’t know. I got knocked out by some guard and the next thing I know, I wake up in the middle of the forest.’ I lied.
‘Sound off, you might be close.’
‘Okay.’
I throw my head up and let out a loud howl. After a moment I hear a response.
‘Was that you?’ I ask
‘Yeah. I’ll be there in a second.’
I sit down and curl up in a ball while crossing my arms over my exposed chest. Just a few seconds later I hear something running through the forest. I sniff the air to make sure it wasn’t unwelcome company. I let out a sigh of relief when Leo’s intoxicating scent hits my nose.
His black wolf comes to a stop in front of me and I smile. I lean over to him and wrap my arms around his furry neck. The next thing I know is I’m being lifted up by Leo who is now in human form, and carried away.
My eyes close as I hear Leo saying soothing things in my ear. My grip around his neck tightens when I feel him try to put me down. A whimper escapes my lips and he holds me tighter.
“Don’t worry sweetie, I won’t leave you. You’ll always be mine.” He whispers soothingly.
A smile touches my lips as I slowly drift off to sleep.
I’m back in the silver shackles and I see the four men. One shoots the tranquilizer dart into my leg.
I’m in no control, I’m just being dragged along for the ride. I break out of the restraints and rip a man’s head off. Then I proceed to shred the rest of his body. I glare at the rest of them and, without warning, I pounce and kill every single one; except the older man that was there when I woke up..
The man just smirks and casually walks out of the room. This infuriates me and I dart after him. Every person I pass, I kill with one bite of my powerful jaw. I run out of a door and look around. I’m outside.
Every person I see, I kill. Until, I see a strong man standing in front of me. He growls at me and I growl right back, my teeth dripping with blood.
He suddenly changes to wolf form and runs into the woods. I take off after him but quickly lose him. From his speed and size, I could tell that he was an alpha.
My eyes shoot open and I scream. Beads of sweat roll down my forehead and blood is dripping down my chin. Crap, I was biting my tongue. I sparks fly through my body when a hand rests on my shoulder.”What’s wrong? Are you okay?” His eyes look are full of concern as he stares into my eyes.
I nod and brush a stray hair out of my face. My breathing is still heavy as i look around to see where exactly I am. I’m outside laying on a blanket. I see a fire pit and some people staring at me as they roast something they must’ve killed.
“It was just a nightmare- just a nigh- just a nightmare.” I whisper to myself.
Leo pulls me close to him and wraps his arms around me tightly.
“It’s okay, sweetie. It’s okay. “he coos.
I bury my face in his chest and breath in his intoxicating scent. I instantly calm down and I snuggle closer to him.
As I’m about to fall back to sleep I hear a faint whisper.
“I love you Mira.”
Did he just say he loves me? What do I say? Do I stay silent or do I respond? No, I’m going to respond. He needs to know how I feel about him. I try to open my eyes but they are to heavy. I open my mouth slightly so I can respond but no word come. You got this Mira! Just say it!
Leo look to my face, he smiles and kissed my forehead, I felt his arm wrap tighter on me… at that point I felt the courage to let him know my feelings for him.
Before I can respond, I slip into the darkness once again. Ugh… Again?! Why am I so freakin tired all the time?!
