Chapter 6: Nightmares! Wanting You

I wake up at 12am to the sound of the door unlocking. I look around, completely disoriented. It’s Liam!

“Liam? You’re finally here”

“You waited? We have to get you in bed. You’ll be tired. You need to rest.” He stops when his gaze meets mine “were you crying?”

Yeah, my eyes must be still red and puffy. So what if I cried?!

“Yeah, I was worried about you” I say. He scowls and sits next to me.

“Sleep”

“You look different” I say after observing him silently.

“I got here about 30 minutes ago and decided to sleep in the guest room not to disturb you. I had a nightmare, nothing serious.” Nothing serious! Do I look like a fool?

“What was it about?” I ask him.

His eyes turn grey for a few seconds. The pain they held at that moment…am I sorry for him?

“My younger brother’s death…on his birthday…. today” he must be feeling like a mess. I hug him, for the first and last time. The sparks intensify and I try to ignore them.

“I’m sorry for upsetting you with this news, please sleep” he tells me.

“If you sleep with me” I blurt out.

I seriously have no filter! Embarrassment right there! Sleep with me, nogal. I sound like a horny teenager or…

“Okay” he agrees quite easily and so we sleep together after safety precautions. I threw a few pillows on the floor on the side he’s sleeping on. What if I kick him.

The next day, I wake up and find Liam next to me, watching me as I slept.

“It’s rude to stare” I say while trying to ignore myself blushing.

“How can I not stare, I have a beauty next to me” he winks at me.

Wasn’t he sad a few hours ago? I regret hugging him but it was the last time.

“Breakfast is ready, come downstairs” he gets up and that’s when I notice that he is wearing a white T-shirt and white jeans. He walks out of the room.

I find myself having breakfast but his parents weren’t around, apparently they just came to visit.

“I have to go handle a few pack issues, please don’t wait up on me.” He smiles sadly at me.

I just sigh.

“I want to go back home, I can’t stay here with nobody to talk to” I lean back on my seat and look at him.

“How about you come with me today, I’ll keep you entertained”

I look at him and nod.

“Ok but first, what will you say if someone asks you who I am?” What if he says I’m his sister or something?

He looks at me and chuckles.

“No one will ask you anything, let’s go” he leads me to his car. He drives me deeper into the forest but soon we reach modern day houses. A few kids were playing around. He parks the car,he opens the door for me and holds my hand as he leads me to a huge mansion, it looks like a pack house. He holds my hand firmly as I feel those sparks again. Everyone we pass bows to us and continues with whatever they were doing. He leads me to his office, I’m about to take a seat when he makes me sit on his lap.

“I said I’d keep you entertained, didn’t I” he sniffs my neck, I shiver in delight.

“Liam” I stop myself from moaning.

“Kassandra?” He says huskily.

I never knew my name could sound this exotic!

My breathing becomes uneven, the sparks intensify as he wraps his arms around my waist. I hear a knock on the door.

“Come in”

“Leave me” I whisper to him but he ignores me.

A lady and man step in. The lady has long legs with a model figure and long red hair, the man hair brown hair with a buff appearance.

“Alpha, Luna, I’ve examined the samples and they match Edward’s DNA” the lady says.

Luna? Edward?

“And you Mike, what did you find out?”

“Alpha, Luna, I think we’ve found the wolf who bit Luna… It was Edward’s trusted friend, Marcus” he says with a bow.

“Get out” they both leave. I look at Liam and stand up.

“Luna?” I say angrily. He has a lot to explain.

He sighs and looks at me.

“Is it so hard for you to accept me? Am I lacking something? I know I’m not the best person out there but can’t you give me a chance? I know, it was wrong of me to allow them to call you Luna. I didn’t tell them to call you Luna, they just assumed because in all the years I’ve lived, I’ve never even allowed my female friends here with me especially during Alpha duties. Can you tell me why you don’t want me?”

I suddenly feel bad.

“Liam… I’m sorry, I misunderstood. I just… it’s not that I don’t want you, it’s just that I.. I’m scared” I find myself crying in his arms.

“It’s okay, please don’t cry.” He gently says.

I don’t know how long I was crying but the next thing, I was on his lap as he sat on the chair again.

“Why are you scared?” He asks me.

“I don’t want to be hurt”

“I’ll never hurt you, Kassandra. Have I hurt you so far?” I shake my head. “We would not be here if I didn’t want you”

I look at him, I’m sure my eyes are red and puffy.

“Promise?” I ask him.

“Promise” he smiles at me.

I don’t know when I dozed off. I wake up and find myself still in his arms.

“Are you awake?” He asks me quietly, I nod. “Hungry?” I nod. “Okay, I’ll call the chef to make you something”

“Don’t leave, please” Great, I managed to make a fool out of myself.

“I won’t” I think he mindlinks the chef because minutes later, we hear a knock on the door. “I need to go get that” I stand up, he stands up and fetches the food.

I suddenly feel cold. Great, I’m getting clingy! I’m also scared to unblock my wolf, she won’t let me rest.

He sits on the couch and places the food on the table.

“Come” he says. I go to him, ready to sit next to him but he makes me sit on top of his lap. “I think I prefer you sitting here”

I blush as he feeds me. I don’t know what he’s feeding me but this tastes great. I also feed him and when we’re done. We continue cuddling.

“I’ll have a meeting in a few minutes, will you come or stay here?”. He asks me, should I go?

“Ok, I’ll come, what will you do to Edward?” I ask him and he stays silent for a while.

“Something I should’ve done earlier on”

Will he kill him?

“Let’s go” He says as I hold him tightly.

“Do we have to?” I ask him. Oh who gives a fudge about being clingy!

“Believe me, I’d rather be with you than anything else but it’s important” I nod and stand up. He holds my hand. “Ready?” He asks me.

I nod. He cups my face with one hand, I find myself leaning towards it and a content sigh escapes my lips.

He walks out with me holding on to his hand, he leads me across a hall to a large room with a few men seated in discussion. The discussion stops and all eyes are on us. Liam takes a seat and leads me to sit on his lap.

“Choose your words wisely, I’m not in the mood for all this” Liam says in an authoritative tone.

“Alpha, we’ve found Edwards whereabouts” one of the men say, he has red hair.

“And we’ve sent our men out to get him” another man adds on.

“How far are they from reaching Edward?”

“About 30 minutes away” he replies.

“Okay, I want a report on this exactly an hour later about this, understood?”

They all nod.

“Alpha sir, forgive me for asking but is she our Luna?” A man with glasses asks. I look at Liam, he looks at the man and sighs.

“You’re forgiven and she’s not yet your Luna, I hope she will accept it. All of you, leave!” Everyone nods and walks out.

“So?” He looks at me.
