Lucas.
"Would you like a dance?" I said to her, She looked around nervously and tugged her hair behind her ears. "I would love to."
She kept a rubberneck, looking everywhere in search of something. I grabbed her waist and guided her in a merry dance. Her arms were in mine but her mind was somewhere else. Having a dance with someone like me, her mind should be fixed with me.
"You are disturbed," I said, grabbing her attention. "Is it the boy? The dingy human, is that why everyone is looking at you that way?"
She shook her head. "It's you. No one's seen you before and besides…you are an elephant in the room, too attractive."
I sneered looking around at the raw bags of meat. I like free food and they all look like steaks. "This boy…your friend. What do you want me to do to him?"
Her brows drew together and she stopped dancing. "Nothing." She backed away slowly and went for the run, gathering her gown in her hands. I went after her and found her somewhere at the back of the hall, shedding tears. "Really?"
"I don't think I can stand it. He was right there kissing her and I just—"
"It's fine." I gathered her in my arms. "Everything is fine with me. Do you want to go somewhere else?"
She shook her head and remained in my chest. She fell asleep like I had used a sleeping spell on her. I carefully carried her to my car and drove down to her home.
I stared at her villainy look. The black works for me. Her lips, soaked in black glossy magic, called on me. I felt my body grow hot. I tossed my head back and my eyes went red.
I see Beta in a kind of fight. Something is not right at home. I woke her up and walked her to the door where her mother perched. "Thanks for today," she said. I smiled. "Anytime."
It was a fast-speed home. When I got there things seemed to be going on fine. I went down to Beta but I met his wife and kids at home. "Where is he?" I demanded.
"He went to the Emberfall Clan. He got a message sent from you."
"Emberfall, that bastard!" I ran off to Emberfall. It was a long way from home. Natural, I could have teleported down to Emberfall but they have a kind of magic that can stop me from getting through. Emberfall Clan has been our enemy. They have all been jealous of me being my clan's Alpha. The day I was chosen, Emberfall was there, hoping and rooting to be the Alpha but things turned against him and he went rogue, creating his Clan in a far place from mine.
I got to Solstice Tribe, halfway to Emberfall where I stopped to have a second thought. It could be a trap to lure me out of my house and attack. If that was the case, they still don't know who the hunter is.
I was about to take a step when I saw Beta walk down from afar. He was leaping and severely injured. I walked to him and helped him walk. "Don't say a thing, let's get you home."
Aurora.
"Who's there?" I said out loud in my room. It was the dead of the night. There was a shadow standing next to my door but couldn't really see. I tried putting my lamp on but that wouldn't work. "Hello?"
"You don't need to be afraid," a thick voice filled my room. I jumped in fear and tugged my duvet closer. My heart pounded in my chest.
"Ah! It's nice to finally see you afraid."
Now the voice sounded more familiar. I took the pen near the table, that was the only weapon I could find. "I-I am…I'm not afraid." Although this may be a matter of life and death, I must not show that I am afraid.
"So that is it? Now I know." the shadow moved and a man stepped into the moonlight. It's the mystery man.
"Lucas! Call me Lucas."
Did I say that out loud? "What do you want, Lucas? And how did you get in, Lucas?" I got out of bed and dragged him down to the bed. "What the fuck are you doing here?"
He chortled, showing his white teeth and what looked like fangs. In my room by this hour. "Is something wrong?"
"I would be taking you home." he looked at me from my head to my stomach, to my…shit. I was wearing g-strings. I took the duvet but he was quick, he took it out of my hand and threw it far from the bed.
"What do you mean? W-what do you want?" I freaked out. "Help!"
He came closer, refusing to hear my plea. "I would take you home, and make you my snack. Do you know what that means? I am going to eat you up."
I gasped. "Ewe!" he laughed and took off his shirt. Staring at him in the moonlight gave me goosebumps. I had no idea what he was in for, how he got in or why he was shirtless in my room, making me stare at his strong-looking abs.
He climbed the bed, pinning me down. I had words to say but I swallowed it. The weight on me was more than whatever I had to say. His breath was warm and tingling. "How do you want it?" his lips touched my ears. I sucked in a breath and hoped he wasn't here for what I think he is. I am a fucking Virgin.
"You are a virgin?" he asked, pinning his golden eyes on mine. He was so close, our noses were almost touching each other and somehow, he knew what I thought.
He nodded and smiled. His hand cupped my neck, tracing his finger down my shoulder. He had quite a long nail for a man. I gasped. "What are you doing?"
"Do you eat your pizza sausage with the plastic bag?"
But I am not his. I heard a sharp, tiny sound. That was my nightie's tiny sleeve sliced. I couldn't look, I wanted to, but his eyes…
His hands went to my breasts, drawing down my gown and exposing them in the dark. I let out a soft moan involuntarily. I wanted to push him away, tell him I do not want this. I wanted to back away and turn my face from his but my body had control over itself at this moment.
He smiled. He went further to sit up and drag my dress off me completely leaving me with just my g-string. He came on top and sniffed me in. "You look sweet," he said and licked my neck.
I never knew such a tiny form of pleasure existed. My body vibrated and I wanted more. "How did you like that?"
I didn't give him a response but I knew deep in my heart that he wouldn't be leaving without making love to me and I doubted I wanted him to leave either. He kissed my neck, my cheeks and finally, my lips. I curled up under him with my hands wrapped around his back.
I have always wanted this with Mike but somehow, I feel grateful this wasn't Mike. This is Lucas, a strange man who found a way to me and is now mysteriously in my room in the middle of the night.
He stopped. He looked back as if someone had called his name. "Darling, I'll be back in your next dream…I might just not be as nice. He stood up and went toward the door. "Wait!"
***
I opened my eyes a little too sharply. I sat up immediately and stared at the door. Why do I remember my dream and why does it feel so real? I rubbed my neck, it felt too itchy. I stood up and—" There was no gown on me. My duvet, far from the bed.
I took a deep breath and walked to my gown. Lifting it, I realized the arms had been ripped. I turned to the mirror and found marks on my neck.
I felt like I had been thrown into a well of panic. The dream… happened.
