The dream

Stacey.

The sun was setting as I entered the Alpha’s private garden. I looked around for him but he was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, a man stepped out from behind a hedge. 

My breath hitched.

“I was told Alpha Liam was looking for me,” I explained. 

“Stacey,” he said with his deep voice. “Liam is a bit busy so he sent me to come and talk to you.”

“Really?” It was hard to believe anything that came out of Caleb’s mouth.

“Yes. Liam and I are now on great terms and he wants us to have a good relationship as well.”

The word “relationship” made the butterflies in my stomach flutter.

“I’m not sure.”

“I heard that you’re very knowledgeable about engineering,” he said. “Tell me more.”

I chuckled. “That’s not true. I just enjoy repairing things.”

“I’ve never met a woman who could do that so I’m intrigued. Tell me more.”

I became more comfortable and started telling him what I did, describing the processes in detail. Surprisingly, he listened to me like he was really interested in knowing. No one ever did. We sat on the bench chatted for almost an hour. 

When I stood up to leave, Caleb took my hand. “Please sit. I need to tell you something.”

I sat down and waited eagerly for his words.

“I can’t stop thinking about you. Ever since I arrived, I’ve been wanting to get you alone.”

His words sent a shiver down my spine, and I felt a fire spreading through me.

“Cal...”

The words died on my lips as he leaned in to kiss me. 

The  kiss was slow and tender, his lips moved expertly against mine. The fire he had sparked, built up, growing into a strong desire like nothing I had ever felt before. I parted my lips, letting his tongue explore mine, deepening the kiss.

His hand cupped my cheek as his thumb lightly brushed  my skin. I could feel his hot breath, mingling with mine as our tongues danced in sync. His other hand trailed up and gently caressed my neck. When we pulled away, I could feel a throbbing in between my legs. It was something I had never felt before but knew what it meant. Caleb’s eyes were now dark with desire. He leaned in and kissed me again, this time harder. His hand slid down my chest before cupping my breast. A moan escaped my mouth as I felt it harden in his hand. My body was now on fire and I wanted more. I didn’t want to stop. 

I touched his leg and felt his body stiffen.

“Stacey,” he said. “This isn’t right.”

“I don’t care,” I whispered into his ear.

His hand slipped under my shirt, his fingers finding my bra. He inserted a hand inside and I felt his warm hand on my nipple. I could feel his hard cock pressed against my thigh. I wanted it inside. 

I reached down and felt it.

“Fuck, Stacey,” he whispered. “We can’t...”

His words didn’t match his actions. One of his hands slipped under my skirt, his large fingers rubbing my aching pussy over my panties. I gasped when how finger stop on my swollen bub. He rubbed it in circles and I didn’t think there was anything that could feel better.

“I need you,” I said. 

I felt his finger tracing the side of my panty before forcing itself inside. “You’re so wet for me, baby,” he said, letting out a growl. Now that I was feeling his warm hand, the pleasure was even more intense.

“Stacey,” he moaned my name. I threw my head back, letting him work on pleasuring me.

“Stacey!”

Wait. 

That was not Caleb’s voice.

I woke with a start, my heart thumping. I looked around and saw Olivia standing at the door. “It’s time to wake up!”

“What the hell?” I said. I didn’t know whether to be relived or annoyed that it was just a dream. The actions and feelings had felt so real. My body was still reeling from what I had experienced. 

Olivia raised an eyebrow.

“No, no. I’m sorry. It’s not about you. I just had the weirdest dream.”

“I don’t care. Be downstairs in 30 minutes. Just because you’re now betrothed to the alpha doesn’t mean you stop working.”

I was working as an engineer in training. Olivia was also in the same department but she focused mainly on civil engineering. Meanwhile, I did mostly mechanical and electrical engineering.

I nodded. “Okay. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

She left without another word. 

I was left reeling. 

I could feel warmth between my legs. Reaching down, I felt a slimy wetness. That was quite a dream.

What was that? I wondered. Why did I have to dream about Caleb when it was Liam I was supposed to be with. I remembered I’d fallen asleep thinking about him. 

I needed to get those stupid thoughts out of my head before they caused more trouble. If Alpha Liam discovered I was interested in other man, he’d surely punish me for it. Or worse. Reject and cast me out of the pack. Alphas are naturally very possessive of what’s theirs. 

Making my way to the bathroom, I turned on the shower and let the hot water wash over me.

After showering, I went back to the room and quickly got ready to go downstairs. 

When I reached the garage, Michael the mechanic was lying on his back, beneath a black SUV. His sleeves were rolled, hands stained with grease.

“Where have you been?” He asked. My thoughts immediately went to the sweet dream I had. Of course, I couldn’t tell him about it. “Forget it. Pass me the micro-welder and do it quick. Stop slacking around.”

I bent, picked it up and proffered it to him. “Here.”

“Why don’t you come and fix it?” He said, pulling himself from under the car. “You need to learn to fix them anyway.”

Michael was the laziest trainer ever. He always made sure you did all the work in the name of learning, even what he was supposed to do as a senior mechanic.

I did as instructed and started fixing the tracker to the car’s power system. Sparks lit up as I fused the small device into place. I was happy that we had something that could keep the wolves safer.

Satisfied with everything, I slid out from under the car and sat up. I was wiping my hands with a rag when two men walked in.

Alpha Liam. Behind him was his brother Caleb. The cursed one.

The one I had dreamt about.

I quickly stood up and bowed. 

“Good morning, Alpha Liam. Good morning, Mr. Morrel.”

Alpha Liam came and kissed me. I didn’t feel anything. I was yearning for a very different set of lips. “You don’t have to do that anymore. You’re going to be my wife.”

“Okay,” I smiled nervously. I could feel Caleb’s eyes on me.

 “We heard the cars are being upgraded.” Liam said.

Michael started telling him how many trackers we had already installed. He even told Liam that I was leading it.

“Will they hold up under interference from spell-casting rogues? Or are they just GPS toys?”

“The signal can’t be jammed by anything lower than Class B magic. Besides, they shut down if tampered with. They send a ping before going dark.”

Liam tilted his head. “That’s impressive.”

Caleb who was now standing behind the car’s hood picked up a loose circuit board. My eyes lingered on his fingers. They looked just like they did in my dream as they entered my...I shook my head. Focus, Stacey. 

“And what happens when someone from inside the pack wants the tracker disabled?”

I glanced at him and instantly wished I hadn’t. I felt my pussy tighten. His dark hair curled just slightly at the ends, framing his deep blue eyes. The red glow from the blood moon was gone. 

“Then it sends a warning straight to my comm system,” I told him. 

Michael cleared his throat. “We’ll have them ready by the full moon, Alpha.”

Liam nodded then turned. His brother lingered. 

“You’ve got oil on your face,” he told me.

I tried to wipe it but my greasy fingers only seemed to make it worse.

His lips curved.

Then he turned and followed his brother out of the garage. I stared after them before shaking my head. My cheeks were burning.

My hand trembled slightly as I picked up the next wire.

Damn.
