Chapter 4 The nightmare

Kennedy pov

I sighed helplessly,

"It's just a little rain. I'm fine."

After speaking, I walked forward and placed yesterday's work report on the desk.

"This is yesterday's pack summary. I've already organized it. I have other things to do, so I won't disturb the two of you catching up.” I looked at Brenda, who immediately smiled.

I returned to my office, feeling heavy-headed.

As soon as I sat down, I couldn't help but collapse onto the desk.

The dizziness grew worse.

After an unknown amount of time, I heard Ashley's voice.

"Luna, why don't you go back and rest?"

I was truly too exhausted to muster any energy, feeling extremely miserable. I could only whisper,

"Ashley, I'll just take a nap."

After speaking, I fell into a deep, unconscious sleep.

I was dreaming.

In her dream, she returned to the year she was eighteen.

That day was Tyler 's coming-of-age ceremony.

The coming-of-age ceremony was the day Tyler wolf would surface and he would be able to claim his father title as the alpha . At the time, I wore my favorite blue dress, had my hair curled into big waves, and got my nails done, all in preparation to confess my feelings to Tyler that day. I don't know if he was my mate at the time but I felt attracted to him and something used to pull me closer to him, he should be able to tell his mate in a few days and I pray it is me.

I searched for a long time before finally finding Tyler in the small garden.

As I was about to walk over, holding the hem of my dress, she heard Tyler's friends teasing him.

"Tyler, you're our alpha now. Do you have a girl you like? Maybe you should consider our Luna ."

"I think Kennedy, that little girl, is pretty good. She's always following you around."

Upon hearing this, I instinctively stopped in my tracks, wanting to hear his response. After all, I could be his mate or he might be feeling what I felt towards him.

After all, his response was crucial for what I planned to do next.

However, before he could respond, someone else spoke up first: "Kennedy won't work. Tyler treats her like a sister. Everyone knows that the only person in our Alpha heart is Brenda, she could be his mate."

Brenda...

I glanced secretly at Tyler. In the twilight, the young man sat on a stone bench, his legs stretched out almost touching the ground. A faint smile played on his handsome face, and he did not deny it.

"Indeed, Brenda is more gentle and feminine. Kennedy is just a little girl. Most importantly, she is our alpha savior."

The one who said this was the new Beta, one of Tyler's closest friends. He loved teasing me the most, always pulling my braids whenever he saw me.

He was also the person I hated the most, without a doubt.

Who's the little brat!

"That's right, Brenda saved your life. Back then, the rogues had crept up on you, and if she hadn't jumped in to save you, there might not be a Tyler in this world anymore."

The young man nodded, finally uttering a rare "hm."

His face was pale in the moonlight,

"The spot by my side will always be reserved for her," he finally responded.

Boom— my heart shattered

My face drained of color, turning deathly pale.

I never expected that my confession would end in such a tragic way.

Brenda saved Tyler’s life, a story that everyone in the circle talked about endlessly.

In ancient times, there were heroes who saved beauties; now, there are soft beauties who save handsome young men—that is Brenda and Tyler

However, I was unaware of this.

Because that year, I had woken up with blood on my clothes. I had several bruises and fell seriously ill.

When she woke up, she had forgotten most of what had happened before, including how she had fallen into the water.

It was my friends who told me that I had fallen down a cliff because I was being careless.

I always felt like I had forgotten something, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember. Over the years, I eventually forgot everything about that incident completely.

I never expected Tyler to be so unforgettable to the person who saved his life.

If only I had been the one who helped to save him.

In my dream, my emotions seemed to merge with me at that moment.

My heart felt as though it were being crushed by a boulder, and my headache was excruciating.

Why wasn't I the one who helped to save him back then?

If only... if only...

Suddenly, Tyler's face appeared before my eyes. His gaze was cold and ruthless.

"Kennedy, abort the child." Immediately afterward, Brenda appeared beside him, clinging to him like a vine.

"Brenda, if you don't abort the child, you wouldn't dare to ruin our relationship, would you?"

At the word "ruin," Tyler's gaze grew even colder. He stepped forward and grabbed my chin.

"Behave yourself, or don't blame me for taking action."

The force of his grip was so strong it nearly crushed my jaw.

I struggled, suddenly coming to my senses, my body soaked in cold sweat.

What met my eyes was the road rapidly receding outside the window.

Just now... was that a dream?

How could it feel so real...I exhaled deeply.

"Kennedy, you're awake." A gentle voice came from ahead. I raised my eyes and saw Brenda's worried face.

"That's good. I was worried something had happened to you on the way here."

Brenda? How did I end up here?

Suddenly, I realized something and glanced to the side.

Sure enough, the driver was Tyler, and Brenda was sitting in the passenger seat.

Tyler was driving. Upon hearing I woke up, he glanced at me through the rearview mirror.

"Awake? Is there anywhere else that hurts? We'll tell the doctor when we get to the hospital."

I had been suffering from palpitations due to a nightmare, and after waking up, my heartbeat had finally calmed down a bit. However, his words made me tense up again.

"No, there's no need to go to the pack hospital. I'm fine."

Hearing this, Tyler glanced at me again.

"What's going on? Do you even know you have a fever?" Brenda chimed in.

"Yes, Kennedy, you're burning up. You need to go to the hospital. I heard from Alpha Tyler that you got caught in the rain yesterday. What happened?"

What happened?

Looking at Brenda in front of me, my pale lips trembled, but in the end, I didn't utter a single word.

Yesterday's fiasco—she must have been there too.

Was she implying something by asking that?

As I pondered, Brenda’s face grew concerned, and she looked at me apologetically: "Was it because of yesterday..."

Tyler interrupted her, his voice steady: "In any case, go to the hospital first. Rest properly these few days since you're sick. There's no need to go to the office for now."

Brenda, her words cut off, looked at Tyler in surprise.

She lowered her eyes, her beautiful eyes holding a deep chill.

No wonder he cherishes her so much, protecting her like she's his most precious possession.

After a long while, she finally lifted her head,

"I'm not going to the hospital." I said

Tyler furrowed his brows, feeling that I was unusually stubborn today.

"You're sick and you won't go to the hospital? What do you think you're doing?"

I pressed my lips together. "It's my own body; I know it best."
