Dreams and realities

Daxton's POV 

The day at the office surprisingly came to an end with barely anything interesting happening, well except for teasing my personal assistant of course. 

My lips stretched to form a smile as her image popped into my mind. 

Her wanting expression drew me off guard, I couldn't do anything to hold back the chuckle that escaped my lips next as the scene of her reactions kept replaying in my head again. 

The feel of her soft lips against mine felt so intoxicating…, intoxicating was an understatement to the way her lips feels as I kissed her. 

Another chuckle escaped my lips as I recalled what happened in my office in the morning after she brought my schedule. It's easy to tell that she wants me also, just like I want her. 

Or maybe I want her more 

My heart was already starting to best to adapt to this overwhelming alien feeling. 

I pushed the thought of her to the back of my mind, she was beginning to drive me crazy. 

I let out a sigh and buried my hands into the pocket of my black pants, raising my head to face the dark sky, closing my eyes. I inhaled the air deeply but stopped halfway, the air stopping at the middle of my chest. 

I seized my breath for a second or maybe two and eventually let it out. I sniffed the air repeatedly, I had picked up a familiar scent, there is no way I wouldn't recognize who it belonged to. 

Well, what did I expect, she is my mate after all, fate would always do its best to bring our paths together even when she had no idea about our world.

I snapped my head to the direction where the scent was coming from and traced it. 

I was out for a walk, after all, it wouldn't be bad to see where she's headed. I concluded within my mind and in a few minutes I could smell her closer, I had covered most of the distance. 

There were other scents, stronger than hers, not far from her. Their scent was different from humans, forcing my eyebrows to draw closer to each other. 

I hastened my footsteps and closed the gap between us, but kept my distance away from her and the group of people walking behind her. I narrowed my gaze on the two guys walking behind her, and I noticed something weird, they had a mark at the back of their neck, was that a bat? and the vibe they were giving off was strange, they weren't one of us. 

I moved my gaze away from them, staring past them to the owner of the scent that dragged me in this direction. 

"There she is," I muttered under my breath, my lips stretching to form a smile again for the umpteenth time today. The number of times she had made me smile or chuckle was quite overwhelming, almost double the past few months before I met her. 

Something was weird, I could sense it, but I couldn't point out exactly what it was, though I had a guess of who the source of the weird stuff was going to be. 

I moved my gaze to the guys walking behind her. 

A few seconds passed and nothing unusual happened. 

Maybe it's nothing after all, I returned my gaze to Lovely, but was forced to tear my gaze off her and stare at the guys behind her. 

The sound of bone breaking filled the air. 

My eyes widened as I stared at the posture the ground of guys was making. 

The sound of bone breaking, their current posture... I knew it all too well, it was something so familiar. 

It was all too familiar, they were shape-shifters also. 

I bid my time, waiting for the form they would take. They all let out loud groans as their bones broke and reshaped, forming the shape of something else. They were all on all fours, from the distance I was, I could see the furs growing out of their flesh and already had a rough idea of what they were transforming into. 

It took a little close to a minute or maybe a little more for them to transform fully into the form of a bear. 

Where a two boys stood a minute ago was already replaced with two bear, fuckers! there were pieces of torn clothes surrounding them but that was the least of my concern.

I was right with my guess and my sixth sense was also right in sensing that they were going to be the source of something weird happening, I just didn’t expect it to be this. Assuming I had focused on their scent for a while, I might have been able to tell which creature they were but I was too busy with Lovely. 

They all bared their vicious fangs towards lovely. 

I growled loudly and fell on all fours too, transforming into my own wolf form, my bones were breaking and reshaping, my fingers stretching longer and curving slightly to form long, sharp claws, I could feel my canines elongating into long fangs and black furs were covering up my body. 

The clothes I was putting on were already torn to shreds. The only reason why I haven’t shown Lovely this form of mine was because I didn’t know how she was going to react to it, I didn’t know if it was going to scare her away and I guess I was just about to find out because I drew all their attention to me with the loud growl that escaped deep from my throat.

I felt craze, I wanted their blood.

Lovely was staring at me with wide eyes, the look in her eyes was like she remembered me from somewhere. 

She looked at the bear then back at me trying to figure out if she was dreaming.

"It is all a dream, lovely. I would wake up soon" she said, falling to the floor with a thump.

Fuck, she had fainted.
