Rori-POV
Here we are again.
The same chains...the same other three figures...the same white woman with ashy hair and gray lifeless eyes...and the same guy in the corner...the same nightmare.

The only difference is when i woke up, i found myself wrapped in Adalwolfs' arms.
The usual panick was still there and i tried to control my breath as to not wake him up. But ofcourse, i failed.
"Hey..." Adalwolf mumbled as he pulled away a bit to turn the lights on. "You okay?" He asked a question he seems to be asking me a lot lately.
I nodded my head but couldn't control the sweat dripping down the side of my head.
"Nightmare?"
I silently nodded my head.

"Wanne talk about it?"
I shook my head and heard him sigh. He pulled me closer and placed his chin ontop of my head.
Even though i know we have issues that go back four years ago, but i still want him
Close. I lost my lioness, my beast, just a few days ago. And because i was too stubbern to talk to him, i took away her chance to be with her mate, to run with her mate and to hunt with her mate.

And a couple of days ago at the attack, i almost lost my chance to be with my mate too. It doesn't mean all is forgiven and forgotten. But i need him now. Just like i did all those years ago.
I took a deep breath and inhaled Adalwolfs' scent in the process. Cinimon and strawbeery. Sweet.
A sigh ecasped my lips as i cuddled him. I feel happy. But, i couldn't help but be scared.
Adalwolf pushed me away because i was a weak human. And now that i don't have my beast with me, i AM a human.
"Why did you reject me?" I whispered in a dying voice and felt Adalwolf tense.
"Why did you send me away? Why did you take this from me?" I whispered over and over again as tears burned the back of my eyes. "Why are you holding me like i'm your forever?"
"Rori." He whispered back "That wasn't how i though things would turn out..."
He tightned his arms around me as he continued.
"Finding out you were my mate...it was the most beautiful moment in my entire life. But i wanted you safe Rori. I didn't want anyone to hurt you. Any power hungry she-wolf would have challenged you or worse, kill you before i could even be the alpha...
I had to get you away Rori. I had to keep you safe. I had it all planed out. Brandon would take you to the next human town and you would finish school there until i become the official alpha. Then, once i had all the power in the pack, i was going to bring you back and make you my Luna.
I had to say the rejection words so you'd leave but i never meant them, Rori. That was how things were supposed to be. But instead...Brandon came back half dead and you were nowhere to be seen. I looked...i searched for you Rore. But you were...gone."
His voice cracked as he said his final words and i was left a sobbing mess.
"I'm still weak, Adal. I'm still a human. And that look you gave me on our birthday...it was pure disgust. You couldn't have pretended it. It was real."
I mumbled as i pulled away from him and sat up.
"I'v had years of practice, Rori. Years of pretending like i hated you so i could protect you. That rejection...it was all the same as me pretending to beat you up." He said as he sat up as well.
"Then why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you explain? Why did you have to break my heart, Adal?" I accused him with a glare.
"If i had told you, would you have agreed. Tell me Rori. Would you have willingly left with Brandon?"
His question shuts me up.
No. I wouldn't have agreed to leave. I would have insisted that i would stay and fight with him. I wouldn't have run away like a cowered.
"Exactly what i though." He mumbled before running his fingers throufh his hair.
"Rori." He called out as he reached out for my hand and gently squeezed it in his.
"I never cared if you were a human. I never cared if you didn't have a wolf. I loved you for who you are. You are my Rori, my best friend, the girl i was in love with...i AM in love with.
There had never been anyone for me other than you. I refused to take another wolf as my Luna because that place belongs to the only girl who has my heart."
The tears i was fighting to hold back are now washing down my cheeks. I sniffled as i used my forearms to wipe the tears but Adalwolf stopped me.
He moved so he was sitting infront of me and used his thumb to softly brush the tears away.
"Don't forgive me now, Rori. Make me work for it. Make me earn your forgivness. Let me show you just how much you mean to me. All i'm asking for is that you don't give up on me, Rori. Don't give up on me."
Before i even know it, Adalwolf was pulling me onto his lap.
As soon as i was close enough, he crashed his lips onto mine. He doesn't give me any time to protest as he deepens the kiss.
My breath is immideatly stolen away as Adal moved his lips against mine.
I close my eyes and kissed him back like my life depended on it.
Adalwolf snuk one of his arms around my waist and the other hand on the back of my head to pull me closer.
My fingers fisted his plain, gray t-shirt and pulled him closer- if that was even possible.
Adalwolf pulled away from my lips when my lungs started to burn and slowly trailed soft kisses down my neck.
He paused and focused his attenion on the spot where his mark would rest. Adal gently nibbled on the spot with his teeth without breaking the skin.
"My Rori." He mumbled as he kissed and bit that same spot that would forever mark me as his.
A sigh escaped my lips and he pulled away to look at my face.
"One day, My Rori...I will mark you as my mate, my Luna, my woman...my queen.
