Chapter four

“Run Ava, run” a voice in my head echoed.

Suddenly I am not in Dante’s house, I found myself in his Damon’s house, his living room and everyone stared at me like I am dinner, like all they wanted is to reach for me and ruin me.

“Run and never turn back. They are never going to take care of you, everyone lies.” The voice yelled again, I stared at all of them.

My mom was here, my father too and some of my friends, I saw members of my pack, they didn’t normal and toward the end of the room was someone else. A woman that stared at me.

I jolted in my position, my eyes filled with tears, my body falter with sweat and my heart racing like it was being chased when I stared at the ceiling, I reached for the glass of water and I felt my breath hitches.

This is my second nightmare tonight, it is making it hard for me to sleep, I can’t think of anything else but this sign, this mark that I asked answers from.

I headed toward my door and I reached to the bathroom when I heard a voice, Dante.

He is on a call, he didn’t sound happy.

Curiosity got the best of me when I moved toward his door.

“I don’t care if he finds out.” Dante yelled. “She is mine, she hates me already.”

My wolf clenched for more answers especially knowing that he could be talking about me.

“It doesn’t matter Damon has it coming, he lost his right when he let her go and now she belongs to me, if he comes he will bleed.” Dante spoke again, his tone filled with hate for his own brother.

What could be the reality.

I didn’t believe in stories any more, people lie, people misunderstand, just like they did to me too.

“He will never know and he has his chance and he lost it, now it’s my chance, and I am not going to sit back and make the same mistakes that he made, he could be your Alpha but he is not mine, I don’t listen to him.” Dante spoke when I moved away from the door.

If he finds out I listened it can’t be good for me, I need to have a sense of what I am doing, no matter how scared and worried I am, I need to be fine first, I need to make sure that I am okay and my feet work on its own.

——

“That sign, what is it?” I whispered the next morning, I stayed up all night thinking about Dante and Damon, what is happening between them, what did I have do with it.

It can’t be a mere coincidence, a brother rejects me just for me to be found by his other brother, it didn’t make sense to me and it only scared me.

“There are somethings you should not ask.” Dante resorted.

“I need to know.” I breathed out.

“It’s an erased werewolf bloodline.” Dante spoke and my eyes widened, if he changed me before it meant he has seen it.

What did he mean by erased.

“No more questions kitten.”

“It’s Ava.” I breathed out and he ignored me.

“Why stay for thirty days.” I asked again, this time he turned to look at me, these are questions I should have asked form the moment I woke up here but I didn’t.

“You need to heal.” He spoke.

That’s a long time I wanted to say yet I didn’t, he would not listen even if he wanted to.

“What is it like back there, in the town.” I asked.

“No more questions kitten.” Dante spoke again. Stressing on the word question when he handed me over a bowl of soup.

He headed out of the room to avoid any more questions coming form me, Dante is closed off, no matter how much I tried he didn’t want to speak and I wanted him too.

I need to know what is going on

I traced my finger on my arm, the mark feeling like a faint warm and the memories of my dream rushing back to me, it didn’t feel like a dream. It felt real. Like I was there; like she was there

The woman that stared at me and her words

Run Ava

I could hear it inside my head yet it was not my voice, neither did it belong to my wolf, it belonged to someone else and it scared me, it petrified me

I set the soup aside restless and my eyes filled with tears, I peeked through the window and despite the rain and lighting, I felt like I could see someone in the forest, just staring at me

I felt a shiver run down my spine, it has to be all in my head

When the door opened and Dante walked in, his body covered in rain, his shirt was no where to be found and I looked away from his body.

“You didn’t finish the soup.”

“I didn’t want to.” I breathed out. “You said after thirty days, would you really let me leave after thirty days.” I asked and he stared at me.

“What you need to know right now is that you are my responsibility and that is it.” He spoke without leaving any room for arguments.

His responsibility.

It sounded more like a threat full promise than a save one.

He inched toward me and he crouched in front of me.

“That’s all you need to know.” He spoke, his closeness burdens through me when a loud thud hit the door.

Dante moved away from me and he reached for the door and I did the same too when he opened the door and my breath hitches.

His golden eyes met mine and he had a smirk on his face, he stared at me for a second when he looked back at Dante.

“Looks like the Alpha is here for you, but he is too late.” Dante smirked

Damon.
