Sweet... dream?

I Skipped and hopped into the forest as if I was a rabbit. With my heart-beating drums and the Goblin's "stay with me" in the English version, even the original Korean soundtrack rang through my heart. And, I swear I had the lyrics on my head and sang word for word.

As the meadow appeared, my heart ran even faster skipping perfectly timed beats, melting, and fluffing at the thought of what awaited me at the center of it. My destiny. My eternal love, my...

I chuckled and blushed at the thought of what I was going to do to him. How I was going to punish him. How I was... Ha ha ha, I chuckled and blushed at the thought of him. My face burned and I cooled it down with my hands. I took out a mirror and made a quick check of my makeup.

Damn girl!

I smiled.

Shit girl! You smashing them. I told myself as I saw myself. Damn, I was beautiful.

Of course, naturally.

I even glowed like a woman in love. For the first time in like... Uh, forever, I was happy. I was of light heart and I was... pretty.

My makeup wasn't too much. It was just a slight touch. my hair, phew! My hair, my long silky black hair was curled, and it simply went too well with Día's almost invisible hairband. The only visible piece of the band was its tiny flowers here and there. They made me look even more stunning.

Thank god I removed those earrings. Without them, I was already stunning. With them, I would have done it way too much. But I was going to knock him off his shoes if he wasn't careful.

My dress was... Beautiful. Perfect. I could run out of words to describe it. Simple, stunning, and... well borrowed. But I rocked on it more than its owner Carey did. I mean, it revealed my figure and hugged it softly. Held my breasts beautifully and I could breathe as easily as I could in my pajamas. As for my ass, it hung loosely on them. The pale blue color of the dress made my eyes pop. Not that if I turned my eyes would pop.

My shoes were simple strap sandals with simple blue laces. My sling bag was silver. Not that I cared about it, but Carey and Diana said a bag was a necessity, so I took it.

I took a deep breath, put on a nervous smile, and walked cautiously out of the shadows. Careful not to wear my heart on my sleeves. Then, I saw him. His broad back was facing me. From his broad shoulders, down to his ass, his thick masculine thighs, and his guns as his hands went through his hair and then back into his pocket, I savored the look cause damn he was hot.

His build and guns made the tux he was in seem nothing but small, despite it being nothing but a perfect fit. His clean army cut, perfect for my kind made him look nothing but sexy and hot.

looking at him, I felt glad that he was mine. I felt glad that he was the one I was going to spend my forever with. He turned his head slowly to the breeze and I saw a frown on his face.

Maybe I'm not perfe...

"HA!" the wolf in me barked at the thought abruptly. slowly he turned, showing his perfectly chiseled jawline. He looked at me and his face immediately turned from being dark, very dark, like a night of a new moon to a bright summer solstice midday sun. He lit so beautifully.

he smiled, brightly, turning my insides into mush. my heart raced, jumped, leaped trying all its best to pounce on him and hold him. Pin him to the ground would be the right wording. in every context.

Then, as if trying to kill me, he opened his arms wide open for me to rush into. He wants me all... my already hot cheeks burnt. and I am sure my face was tomato red by now. ripe tomato.

He wants me. He is glad to see me. Those were the only thoughts that ran through my mind and before I knew it, I ran full speed and thoughtlessly into his open arms.

I wanted to explode. I wanted to melt. I wanted to stand on all fours and howl my heart out. to shout. scream. I wanted to do it all. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to cry. to laugh. to hold him. never to let him go.

I wanted to beat him. Who the hell did he think he was making me wait all this time? Making me waste my childhood, my teenage-hood years even the first three years of my twenties for him. Who the hell did he think he was making me lonely throughout my whole life?

I jumped into his arms and held him as tightly as I could. He chuckled, melting whatever bone I had left in my body. before I knew it, I was sobbing. refusing to let him go, but still cursing the crap out of him.

Thankfully he didn't try to pry my fingers open to make me let him go. He just chuckled, and I wanted to beat him, to make him stop chuckling. but I was way too afraid that if I did, he would disappear. He held me too, and I nearly broke down.

but I loved being in his arms like this. I missed having him around and I wasn't going to let him go.

'I'm sorry, I took too long.' he whispered in his beautiful, mellifluous husky voice that made me shiver with the warmth I haven't felt all my life.

I didn't respond but kept my head on his chest, loving the sound of his dancing heart. fearing my buckling knees would give way.

"I missed you so much." He said kissing the top of my head.

I looked up at him and...

Everything grew dark. Then I heard them.

"fuck off!"

"I'm going now."

"See you in three days."

"Dee, I want that meat."

The voices of my pack members filled my head. I mean almost everyone's voices, whispers, and even muffled cries hit my ears. And here I was, thinking I was alone with him. I tried to hold him but he turned into a pillow.

"Eish!" I shouted as the scene completely turned to my bedroom. The attic of the pack-house. "SERIOUSLY!"

I shot off the bed, kicked the pillow I was hugging earlier and rushed to the window.

I flung the curtains aside and three floors down, my attic being the third, fifteen or more pack members stared at me, none moving, but wearing bewitched looks. Even the cars lined around the fountain at the center of the driveway didn't even produce sound though I was certain that a second ago they were alive and bellowing, like a cow lost in the wild.

"Sorry," I whispered and closed the curtains. Ashamed I walked as silently as a mouse can be back to my bed. Angry at my pack for waking me up from the most beautiful sweet dream I've ever had.

I knew I was angry, but why the hell did I just shout? I wondered. I've never shouted ever since I came back to this pack. But, damn it felt good to shout.

I went back beneath the covers and tried to summon the dream back. But couldn't.

But I had so much to say to him. I had loads of things I wanted to let him know. I wanted to tell him that I missed him. I wanted to tell him to come running to me. I wanted to know him. To tell him that without him, everything here is nothing but a nightmare.

But at least I saw his face, from beneath his jaw. And damn he was beautiful. I didn't catch his scent, did I?

No, I doubt it, but I swear it would have been nice.

But I know one more thing. He was not in any case short. He was tall, wait. Was he my mate?

No, No, No! I doubt it.

But it felt so....!

Eish!

I shrugged as the thrill and feelings I had earlier came back to me. I kicked the covers and hugged my pillow.

Thinking about my dream gave me shivers. Thinking about the pieces of him I saw made my body come alive. Even parts I didn't know existed came into being. Holding him in my arms was so... Beautiful. Thrilling. Even as I lay on the bed, my body just wanted to touch him. It hungered to be close to him, even though in reality I've never really touched him. My eyes burnt to see him. To see that stolen smile, that... damn! It was so... I couldn't explain it.

"I'm sorry I took too long." I imitated him and burst up laughing. My whole body was shivering, in a good way. A few punches to the pillow later, my heart was still on fire. Thumbing, melting, and fluttering like nobody's business.

"I'm sorry..." I just couldn't contain myself. I burst into laughter. "No, it was like..." I tried to be serious. pulled up a frown, cleared my voice, and got up. "I'm...."

I can't do it.

I. CAN'T. DO. IT.

No, I can't.

Just thinking about it, sent shivers up my spine and tickled me. It was the coolest and cheesiest apology I've ever heard.

Wait, why am I lying here? I wondered. I remember sleeping outside. The scent... I remember it.

I remembered smelling it, dark earth. I remembered smelling it as Marcus' scent vanished. Was it him? Was he...

"Wow," Someone said and I froze.
