The strange dream

My dream went like this….

I stood in front of a tree trying to catch my breath. Then I thought, why was I running in the first place? Why could be chasing me? How did I even get here? These thoughts kept running in my mind until I hear a loud growling from afar. 

"Arrrrrrgh!" Then I kept on running.

I was tempted to look back to see what was chasing me but fear gripped me. I decided to summon the courage to see what was chasing me but that was the greatest mistake I made. I paused and looked then saw a big wild bear running towards me. I wanted to continue to run but I stumbled on a stone and fell to the ground. I tried to stand up but my leg went numb, and I couldn't stand up.

The bear kept coming towards my side. I fought all my life to stand up but I could not. That was when I realized that I had sprained my leg. So I am finally going to die without having a mate. I began to cry as I felt hopeless. The bear kept coming to me like a hungry predator that has found its prey. 

The bear raised its feet revealing its claws. I closed my eyes hoping for my death to come. Suddenly, I heard a loud cry from the bear. At first, I was shocked, and I opened my eyes to see what just happened. I met the bear on the floor fighting for its life with an arrow wound on the left side of its body. 

"What the hell just happened?" I thought seeing the bear on the floor now lifeless. Then, I heard a voice in my mind, saying,  I heard you crying, then I came to save you. 

 Please who are you? and how did you know I was in trouble? 

"I  am your mate", the voice replied calmly. 

Can I see your face, please? I asked, pleading to the voice. 

He replied, "come towards the back of the tree, you will find me there". I tried to move from where I was but I couldn't since my ankle is sprained. 

"Can you please come to me? I sprained my ankle and there is no way I will be able to walk to that side." I enunciated.

He granted my request and started working towards my side. As he was about to get to my place, I heard my name from afar, "Scarlett! Scarlett! Scarlett! wake up." 

I woke up with fear, sweat dripping from my body, and I saw someone I recognized standing in front of me trying to wake me up from sleep. It was my friend, Ella.

Ella is my best friend. We are agemates, and we grew up together at Sunshine pack. She's a multi-talented beautiful female Beta werewolf who is good at different crafts like me( I think it is why we are best friends as we share some common traits).

Ella is no longer staying at the Sunshine pack as she already found her mate at a neighboring pack( the same year I found mine too), so she left to stay with her mate, leaving me all alone at the Sunshine pack.

It has been two years now since I saw Ella last as it is the first time she is coming back to Sunshine pack since she got married to her mate, two years ago. 

"Scarlett, what's wrong with you?" Ella asked me with a concerned look on her face. 

I narrated my dream to her, how a bear was chasing me, and when it almost killed me, I was saved by a man who claimed to be my 

mate but as I was about to see his face, I was woken up by her. She gave me a big hug, and her red eyes glowed with affection toward me. 

She went ahead towards the kitchen( Ella loves cooking, and she is so good at it). 

Scarlett, please can you come here to assist me in the kitchen? Ella informed me. 

"I'm coming," I pronounced. 

Ella and I began to interact and filled ourselves with the moments we missed together. I filled her in first.

"Oh, so I missed a lot of lists while I was away. To be honest, I missed you so much. So, you said the goddess spoke to you and told you about blessing you with a second chance mate." 

"Girl, you are lucky, she winked at me. I hope you meet your second chance mate soon."

Ella also filled me in. She informed me how she has been coping in her new home, how her spouse who is also a Beta has been treating her with love, and how she is being cared for, and respected by her husband's pack since her husband is the highest-ranked general of the Alpha king. "Although being the wife of an important person comes with a lot of sacrifices because you don't own your spouse alone. He has to answer the call of the king at all times but I am used to it." Ella complained.

Food was ready, we ate and continued to gist. Ella also informed me that she is carrying a baby werewolf. I was so happy because I am going to become a godmother soon. When noon time came, Ella bid me goodbye, it was an iconic one. She hugged me for five minutes, sobbing and telling me how much she is going to miss me as she doesn't know when she would come back to the pack, also she is not sure whether she will be meeting me when she comes back. Peradventure, my mate might not belong to this pack, and I will also have to vacate the pack.

"I am going to be missing you, Scarlett," Ella confessed with a teary eye. "Be the happy girl I know you to be, don't allow sadness to overwhelm you. Remember, I will always love you. Even though I am not with you physically, my soul is with you." 

I escorted her to the woods, and we said our final goodbyes there. I went back home to sleep but I found it difficult when I laid my back on the bed as my heart was disturbed, thinking about the dream I had, and curious about my second chance mate. After a while, I slept off.
