Chapter 6: The horror dream

NALANI

I maneuvered myself as I entered the door of my apartment. It created a loud thud with the force of my closing it. Panting, I held my chest and breathed out through my lips. I feel that even in the taxi, the male cousin of Alpha Liam and Travis is following me.

In his eyes, I can see that he misses me a lot, but it's full of sadness and curiosity. But what I don't understand is his question about how long I've been working with Alpha Liam as if he never expected.

He really knows me, and it seems like I knew him before but I just forgot. I was puzzled that I didn't know where to start to find out. The pounding of my heart ten times faster than the fear seems to be nothing new to me. In his grip, my body seemed to have felt it before.

I don't understand, I feel like I'm shrinking in his presence. I'm scared. And I still feel these feelings even though I'm here in my place. He's not around me, and more he's not here with me.

I picked up the bag on the floor that I dropped earlier and locked the door. My feet step heavily on the floor as if he was just here watching me with a sharp gaze ready to kill me as his prey. But when my stomach reacted, and I remembered that I hadn't had lunch earlier, I just thought that maybe it's all because I'm hungry.

I huffed to ease my fear and headed to the kitchen. I shook my head first and opened the cabinet that was just above my head. I just yelped when some bags of noodles smashed in my face. I bent down with my eyes closed and scratches it since the edge of a pouch of noodles actually hit my left eye lid.

I grunts, cursed and murmured, "You're a dietitian, but your stock is all noodles."

I huffed in frustration and glared. I bought noodles for every dinner once I came home. It's budgeted for a month so that my only expenses are my daily fare. I save a lot on food because I want to save money and avoid getting into debt.

This time I have to save more because my budget has decreased. I paid for the flower bouquet that was broken earlier but I remembered, that man seems to be allergic to flowers. Imagine, he sneezes non-stop as if once the flower stays on his face for a long time, he will sneeze again and again to death.

I know he's a werewolf, is it possible for a werewolf to be allergic? And he really said that I know that's his weakness. "How can I know?" I huffed. "I just saw him today."

I picked up the noodles from the floor and put them back on their place. I just took one and while cooking the curiosity kept ringing in my head. Even my past, I tried to remember and asked myself, "Who is my mother? Who is my father? Do I have a brother or sister?" I shook my head and added, "How come I can't remember anything?"

Again, I was alone at my table eating. I miss Siena coming to my apartment to eat with me. But right now, it looks like she's tired from work and she didn't bother to come here or maybe I'll just come home late.

After eating, I did my night routine before going to bed. Girls stuff, face masks, cleanser, face mist spray and lay in bed, looking at the ceiling and thinking about that stranger again.

He's handsome, really...

Hazel nut eyes, thick flat dark eyes brows that once creased it became a line. He has a perfect nasal tip for the simple touch of my thin lips. His lips that seem to escape from a smile, I can say that those are the lips that fit on mine. But why is this bothering my head?

I'm scared but I feel this attraction towards that man. Have I ever felt this about him? It looks like yes, especially since what I felt now was the same craving I used to have. I seem to feel this daily and with a mixture of frustration.

I want to remember anything especially about these feelings. Who is he in my past? Is it true that I have a wolf? I want to get rid of these questions in my mind, but they keep echoing in my head.

I felt a heaviness on my eyelids, sleep had finally overtaken me in the middle of the night of puzzle thinking. But it seems that I was taken to a place full of horror. I don't know where I am but every move I make, I hear chains echoing in every corner of the dark place.

I heard footsteps that seemed to be the scariest sound I've ever heard in my entire life. My heart missed a beat, I can't breathe, it's like I'm drowning under water. I heard the lash of the whip, it hit my skin and created a bruise. I saw in my wrist, there's a chain and the same on my ankle. It's burning my flesh, apart from my burning flesh, my body was also filled with heat from the lash of the whip.

I screamed and begged them to stop. I was hurt, physically and emotionally. And it seems I have no escape from this situation. A man's voice also echoed, calling my name, asking, "How are you, Nalani?"

I sobbed weakly and begging, "Please just spare me. Let me leave without a pack."

"You have no right to leave, Nalani." Two pairs of shoes stepped closer right in front of my face covering my hair. He held it tight causing me to grunt and cried as he said, "You don't even have the right to die as simple as that. You have to suffer until you are drained and dry."

He let go of my hair pushing me to the floor I was lying on and stood up. He ordered, "Don't give her food for about three days. Let's see how strong she is."

My eyes opened, and I expected that I was still in the same situation, but no. I'm lying here on my bed and my phone is currently ringing. Sweat dripped down my forehead and my heart rate quickened.

It was just a dream but it seemed like it really happened. Who is that man? I didn't see his face bit he had men, and I was locked in a dark prison and chained. There was nothing there except dust that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. I was tormented to death. Is this my past?

My mind snapped, suddenly my phone rang again. I got up from the bed despite the strong pounding in my chest. I gulped down and reached for the phone on top of the small table. Madame Hale's name was on the screen. I breathe out through my lips causing a strand of my hair to bounce on my forehead.

I swiped the screen and replied, "Hello, Madame."

His flirtatious voice almost hit my ears, "Did Travis like my gift?"

My eyes widened as I remembered the box inside my bag. I maneuvered to get off the bed and lied, "Yes! Madame, he said it was delicious and thank you."

He was still talking on the other line, but I immediately turned off the phone and quickly put on my slippers. I ran out of the room and snatched the bag from the couch on the living room. I ignored the cold wind hitting on my skin as I exited my apartment and ran downstairs.

I feel air entering my body and seducing my private areas but I chose to ignore it. Luckily there's s taxi stopped in front of me so I got in right away. I noticed that the driver was looking at me oddly but eventually ignored me when I gave him an instruction, "Take me to the packhouse."

I noticed him shaking his head and start driving. Nothing is more important now than getting Madame Hale's gift to Travis even though I don't want to see him.

Arriving at the packhouse I just paid the driver and took my leave in a rush. He even called me ma'am but I ignored him. Entering the packhouse my voice echoed when I called, "Travis!"

But is it scandalous that I'm actually shouting in the living room at this time of night? I think I'd better just deliver it to his room. I just huffed and muttered, "If nothing had messed with my mind I wouldn't have forgotten to give this gift to that teaser."

I ran up the stairs and stopped when I saw two pairs of shoes stop in front of me. I slowly raised my face to him and it was as if my heart was squeezed to stop this pounding at the sight of the Alpha's cousin.

I met his dark gaze on me as if there was something wrong with me that he shouldn't see. I forced a smile even though I was scared and said, "H-Hi..." I dug into my bag to get the gift for Travis and showed it to him. "I forgot to give it to Travis, is he in his room?"

I simply breathed out through my lips but I tried not to let him notice even though it was unlikely to happen. Despite his dark gaze, he extended his hand to me and said, "Let me be the one to reach out."

That's a good idea, it's in my favor and at least I won't have to face Travis to catch his teases again. I smiled and stepped up to get closer to him and reached for the box. I made my smile genuine and spoke softly, "Thanks."

I immediately turned to take my leave but I had only taken two steps down the stairs, he called me, "Wait." He simply said wait but I feel like he's going to hurt me. I breathe out again and faced him smiling. But he said, "Before you come out of your cave, make sure you're wearing a bra. I don't want anyone to see your nudity except me."

    ROSSAfter I told her about what I noticed in her, she automatically hugged her chest. I don't know what's wrong with her why she came back to the packhouse wearing only a nightgown and no bra. Her nipple still pointed against her thin dress and that made Darth chuckle inside my head. This caused the return of his energy as if she was the truly cure for our current illness."I... I'm sorry, I... I forgot... I was in a hurry." I just watched every turn of her eyes as if she was about to drown in shame. "Ahm...Madame Hale will get mad once I couldn't give that. I-I mean, I woke up and remembered that I didn't do my..." She glanced at the gift I was holding. "...Mission," she finished her sentence.Until now, it seems to be in her system to be afraid of others as it happened to her in our pack. Even with the omegas, she became scared to the edge in their presence. I want her to go back to how she was before our painful tragedy happened.She was never afraid that time, especially in our c

    NALANI"So... this guy you say who know you, but you don't have the slightest hint of who he is, is Alpha's cousin?" Siena asked after I told my situation and what I found out about Alpha's cousin. She was currently stacking flowers in a bouquet wrapper resting on a red ribbon. She glances at me.I nodded and she added, "And Alpha Liam ordered you to leave the packhouse right away because his cousin can't see you?" I nodded again. She squinted her eyes at me and asked for the last, "Do you know what this means?"Yeah, I have a hint but no words came out of my mouth and I only did shaking my head causing her to flick my forehead. I halted yelping rubbing my skin she'd flicked. I yelled, "What's wrong with you?"She huffed and dropped a flower stem on the table and turned to face me, crossing her arms across her chest. "Listen carefully, okay?"I frowned at her but I still wanted to hear what she had to say despite the realization that came up in my mind. "You said that man was Alpha Li

    NALANI"He's Alpha Liam's cousin and he's the guy you say you don't remember?" I nodded and Madame Hale went on still exclaiming, "Why don't I know him? Mostly Alpha's cousins, I really know them. Well only two boys and a girl but—" His thoughts snapped his words and looked at me. "Wait a minute!" Fear and worry flashed in his eyes as he held his mouth.Siena also peered into his face, waiting for what he would say about whatever realization that was. My heart beat faster with the doubt that, his realization might not be good for me. After his dumbfounded moment, he shook his head with a wave of his hand over his face as if to swipe away what he was thinking.But he quickly grabbed my arm as well as Siena's. He cocked his head inside the flower shop and said, "Let's go inside. I realized something, but of course I need your opinion, thoughts, realization or whatever..." We move inside the shop. My curiosity is killing me while watching his reaction. Before he started his words, he l

    ROSSDarth really hates flowers. It had a strong effect on him, and out of all the wolves, he was the only one with this kind of issue. That's why, I left the flowershop earlier even though I wanted to talk to Nalani. Honestly, I don't even know what topic I should open up, and maybe it's good that it happened for me to better prepare for the next chance.'Or you better meet her in another place next time,' Darth suggested in my thoughts. That was my plan but to the fact that I can still see the fear in her eyes, I don't know how to approach. 'Ask her when she comes here later in the packhouse.'I glanced at the wall of the room, and I just realized that it was almost noon, which meant that Nalani would be coming to cook food for Liam. I was jealous but the idea that I would see her again watered my soul—a bit. 'What if you wait for her arrival? Then don't frown, smile at her.'My brows creased at Darth's suggestion. 'How do I do that?'Because we went through the same thing, he heave

I know, he left, I'm just not sure if he followed Travis. But his name, my dream, his weird approaches, the information I got from Madame Hale and my dream are all connected.I also puzzled over Travis saying he was a monster. Well, I just confirmed earlier that he's the reason why Travis got mad, that's according to Alpha Liam using the word 'for sure' and 'again'. From him, I found out that they don't get along and the word that Travis said seems like he knows what kind of man his cousin is. I'm still shaking like a leaf, I can't remember my past but I had a strong hunch, what I had gone through was terrible and it seemed true that Alpha's cousin, Ross, was the one behind it. Earlier, while Travis was bursting out of anger, I saw him coming down the stairs, acting like nothing happened. I have no idea what they were fighting ab

    NALANIThe flowershop closed early because Madame Hale had an emergency. Actually, this business of his is quite large but in the flowershop where we are, was his office. The main building of Hale Flowershop is actually right across from the mall. His regular employees were there. Here at our place, Siena is the only regular and I am the only part time worker. His early closing was in Siena's favor and now we were given a chance to hang around the park. I was watching at the children playing in the playground while listening to their laughter and giggles. I'm curious if they are all Werewolves, but mostly here in the Undergrove are shape-shifters. There are very few humans here and almost all of us have jobs. As they say, only brave humans can interact with them. I agree with that, since it wasn't really easy to interact with them at first.But my brows creased thinking how did I start staying here. I think I can recall that but wait. I know I graduated as a dietitian, but who suppo

    ROSSI pressed my knee to Travis' belly causing him to grunt in pain. I grabbed both his arms and pinned them to the ground. He gasped and looked at Nalani who was running away from us. I also looked her while hissing. I saw the fear on her face especially when Travis yelled, "I said run! He's going to kill you! Don't look back—"Snapping his words, I hit him in the face with my claws causing him to scream in pain. My four nails drew on his cheek and crossed his noseline. I whispered in a hiss, "What the hell are you doing?"But he grunted, sneering at me and yelled in my face feigning protective of Nalani, "You can't have her! You have to kill me first before you have her!"I don't know what game he wants to play, but after he told Nalani that, she turned and ran away. I know that by this time, it was already imprinted in her mind that I was a terrible man, monster like Travis said. This was his way of making sure that Nalani would stay away from me. Fury washes all over me, my blood

How could you expect me to be pregnant?""It's been a month, Siena. After what happened to us, and I made sure of that. I think I'm not infertile, am I?"I burst out laughing and yelled, "How can I get pregnant if we both have vulva?!"She was silent on the other line, feigning to realize the truth and time over like me, she also burst out laughing and said, "Why did you remind me? What kind of ex are you slapping me with the fact that I don't have a dick? Can't you let me dream for a moment that I can create a child in your womb?"I was holding my belly to ease my laughter and manage to calm down for the serious question, "And why did you call?"Again, she was silent on the other line and I heard her sigh. "Of course, I missed you." I scoffed and rolled my eyes. I was currently leaning against the head board of my bed and facing a

Ross tears falling, while holding back a sneeze.The situation is very emotional, Art crying as well while Ross says, "You killed my Mom, you killed Regina."No one seemed to care that they all trusted Ross despite the anger he was showing.Now Art's tears are falling. He slowly raised his hand, whispering while staring at Ross, "I'm sorry..."My tears kept falling. Ross I know he's trying to forgive him, he looked at me crying, he removed his hand from Art's neck indicating that he needs to let go of the grudge and forgive because I'm his mate and I'm pregnant.I know what he meant why he did that. He held the back of my head despite me hugging Art, he pressed his lips on my forehead enough to make Art understand the forgiveness he gave.Now, Art kissed Ross's head. That situation is that there is no heart within this place that does not feel emotion. Art whispered, "Thank you."Because of that I hugged them both. Ver

    NALANI I rushed upstairs to where the throne was. I released fire out of anger—I could no longer control it.What she did to my family was too much. I can't forgive her that just because of power, she destroyed us.I saw her sitting on the throne acting brave despite the burning smell all around. Using telekenises, I lifted her from his seat.She was struggling but she chose to let out a devilish laugh.That irritated me. My anger became more powerful because Ava's anger went along with it, more aggressive and more dangerous."When you hurt me, your brother will be doomed too, Nalani!" Again, she laughed as if despite her situation she is still a winner.From surface I let go of her, she fell to the floor causing her to groan. I hissed, "Where's my brother?"But she answered me with a silly laugh, creepy, horrible, but I was not affected. I'm stronger than her now, more powerful, the creepiness she shows doesn't bother me.She sat up, in a modest way, as if she was just getting out o

They begged me to accept my role as Luna, asking for forgiveness that I should have asked it of them.'I can't blame you.' After five years of not feeling Ava now she is here. One of the best things that happened to us was that we were together again.Luckily, she fought, moreover, she was not easy to beat because she had me as her strength and healer. She never died, she stayed with me even though I didn't remember anything. She just couldn't get close to the present because she was blocked according to my request.I still remembered what I said to Elphaba then, 'I can't hurt him, I can't kill him but if he stays alive what he did will torment me emotionally forever.

    ROSSThis is surprising. Darth, my wolf used to be Alex's grandfather? And my grandfather is his wolf now?"Your grandfathers died before you were born, that's why this happened," Elphaba spoke staring at Alex who now had his mouth slightly open. "If you for example leave this world, in the next generation of your bloodline, you will become their wolf." She looked at me and looked back at Alex. "Each of you should be an Alpha. But the Bloodline you have always has a conflict. One is a good leader and the other is cruel."I gulped down, Elphaba went on, "Darth ruled as good, Diego his beta betrayed him." That caused Alex to scoff, proving him right. "He was accused of a sin that caused him to be kicked out of the pack." Then Alex glared at me. "Under Diego's rule, his mate gave birth to Delbert. Delbert was raised by Diego in the belief that omegas should only be omegas. But Delbert's mother secretly trained him in a good way."Now I straightened up proudly. Elphaba continued, "Delbert

But yeah, this Alex, Liam detected, he's not lying.This means that Ross is not a true Alpha of Dark Furious pack and Alex has a reason for his revenge, but this Dollera...I can't believe that despite what I went through, someone still tormenting me emotionally and also from Ross's bloodline.Now, I don't even understand myself. I just mentally asked where my anger for Ross is. Honestly, I admit, even then it was hard for me to hold a grudge against him. I actually made a promise, that no matter what kind of anger he bestows on me, he's still my mate. Everything just changed when I saw my father died. Now, I think everything will change again.

And we, of course, have no intention of harming her, but Nalani, with the power she exudes, I notice her wolves are tireless.Travis attacked, but those he defeated rise again, heals again, while the wolves on my side is struggling.Even Esther, worried about the situation, and suddenly Eve arrived, she used a gift against Nalani. She's hurting her because she uses heat like my mate's. "Nalani! Stop this! I don't want to hurt you, so please, stop!" Eve warned.Esther was gasping, she was holding her throat while Nalani kept screaming making me panicked and yelled, "Eve stop! You're hurting her!" I touched Nalani's reddened face. She's struggling, I can't let her suffer like this. "Stop Eve! She's hurting—my pup is hurting too!"Esther yelled too, "Stop!" It almost reached at the top of her lungs out of anger.Eve stops, Nalani puts on pants, but someone yells, "Nalani!" That's from the enemy side.Because of that, Nalani ag

'Talk to her,' he ordered and pushed me out.She also doesn't let her wolves attack me as if saying she is the only one who should punish me. Many wolves are rushing from my side attacking hers.After I shifted I slowly looked at her, she spread her hands, it smoked, along with the heat I felt in my body.I groaned even Darth had a hard time resisting it. I knelt back on the ground, enduring the heat that engulfed me entirely."There are many witches on your side. Some of them are deceiving me. They face me as if we look alike, actually one imitated Art's face! Making me believe that he is my cousin! Playing my emotion! Telling me that Art is alive!" she yelled out of anger.My body is getting hotter. Sweat is coming out of my forehead. My ears gradually created a sharp sound.

I did not expect positively, because it is difficult to find someone without a trace. All that was left of Art was a sack retrieved from the bottom of the sea, then nothing.Shoulder sagging, he sipped coffee. I can see in his face how much he wants to find Art. He looked at me and said, "What if Prince Art is under a spell of Dollera? What I mean is the secret place..." He trailed off as if he didn't know how to explain but I got what he was getting at.
