She knew that face from somewhere. Of course, he was the same person she had seen in her dream a few weeks ago. She started sweating profusely as her body became immobile. She couldn't even say a word, neither could she scream for help. 'Wait a second. Why would I even scream for help when the person has not done anything to me?' But his aura was enough to tell that he was extremely dangerous and powerful. He looked like he could kill a person with those silver eyes that shone silver. The man just stayed still and kept torturing her with his gaze while Evie just stood there sweating and shivering. She was starting to get breathless as she struggled for air. 'Now he's doing something to me. I guess you don't have to wait for an attack before you feel threatened.' Her mind called for help but her lips weren't moving. 'Help! Someone please get me out of here! Please!!' Tears rolled down her face because she was too scared and also she couldn't breath.
"Evie! Evie!!"
She was back in her room again, staring at the ceiling as sweat dripped down her face. She felt someone gripping her shoulders as she turned her head and saw Brody sitting on the side of her bed with worry in his eyes.
He had been shaking her body to wake her from her nightmare. She was struggling on the bed and sweating profusely and her eyes were shut tight and that only meant one thing. She was having a nightmare.
Brody looked at her with concern. He panicked when he saw her in that state but now, he was trying to look as calm as he could. He can't calm her down if he looked panicked too.
"Are you okay? Did you have a nightmare?"
She was too smitten to answer. She was still trying to catch her breath. 'It was all a nightmare' she came to realize. 'Or was it. It didn't feel like just a nightmare.'
Brody was doing his hourly check on her and found her in that state. He didn't want to leave her again afraid that she would feel scared all alone. He could hear her heartbeat and it clearly spelt fear. He hugged her firmly to assure her that she was safe and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Evie didn't want to believe it was an ordinary nightmare. She had nightmares like that before that left proof of reality on her. Like the other time she dreamed of that same man holding her hand and pulling her while running. They were running in a forest and dodging many trees and tree trunks and fallen logs. He was running very fast and his grip on her wrist was tight that she couldn't escape it and could only follow after him. She didn't know who he was or how she ended up running with him, but one thing was for sure... 'THIS MAN IS DANGEROUS.'
She woke up with finger marks on her wrist and she still somehow felt his touch lingering on her wrist. Her heartbeat was like that of someone who just ran a marathon.
Now, she somehow felt it again that this dream was real life. At that moment, she felt like the man would appear and take her away to continue running. She was shivering in his arms as silent tears rolled down her face. It was the best she could do while she was scared.
"I'm here now." he assured her. It was not like she believed that his presence will stop the man in black cloak from appearing but she was certain that she was safer with him around. No Alpha will let any stranger trespass on their territory.
She nodded her head at his words with her hands clutching to his t-shirt.
Brody couldn't do or say anything, he just let her catch her breath and calm down. It was not like he even knew what to do. He had never handled this kind of situation before. He sat more comfortably on the bed as he slowly rubbed her back. About ten minutes later, he felt her head sway to the side a little and he immediately used his hand to support her head to prevent her neck from hurting. He looked at her face and saw that she already slept off. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he watched her sleeping face. "So adorable."
As slowly and as gently as he could, he put her head on the pillow and arranged her sleeping body on the bed so that she could sleep more comfortably. He pulled his hand from under her head and rose to leave the bed but he figured something was holding him back. His gaze lowered and he noticed her tiny hand holding his shirt firmly.
'It's not like I wanted to leave either.' he said to himself. He got comfortable under the blanket beside her and pulled her body closer to his.
'Fuck! She's so soft. This feels so damn good.' he smiled. 'If only I could just...' he pause when he noticed a stir in his sweatpants.
'Alright, sleep now. No disturbances. No funny games.' he told his 'accompany'.
