***Chapter 13***

I woke to a warm bed. I did not open my eyes, though. I could sense that Dante was in the room and I didn't want to explain myself right at that moment. I cursed my brain for always having to wake me early. Why oh why couldn't I just sleep in just this once?

"I know you're awake, Sya," Said Dante and I could hear the humour in his tone. I screwed up my nose and buried my head further into the pillow.

"No I'm not," was my muffled reply.

"So what are you doing now then?"

"I'm sleep talking. It's an art." I smiled into the pillow at our banter.

Dante chuckled. "Come on, Sya," He crooned and I liked the sound of my real name on his lips. Somehow he made it sound exotic. I felt him climb on the bed and then me. "Sleeping beauty, it time to wake up," He said and then yanked the duvet off of me. I gasped with the cold and turned to glare at him. No one stole my duvet from me. He grinned like the self satisfied male that he was.

I lunged forward and tried to grab the duvet off him but he jumped back and grinned some more. I kneeled on the bed and put me hands on my hips. "Give my duvet back." I demanded.

"Make me!"

I narrowed my eyes and then I relaxed my face. I lowered my head and blinked up at him, giving him my best doe-eye look. "Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top, can you give me back my duvet? I'm cold..." I then pouted at him. He looked unsure and I could see his resolve slipping. Yes, Dante, feel my power! His grip on the duvet slipped just a touch and I pounced, grabbing it and pulling it around me. I fell back onto the bed and felt happily like an Eskimo. I looked over at Dante's stunned expression and grinned at him. When he looked at me I stuck my tongue out at him, like the mature woman that I was.

"Oh, love, don't show it unless you plan to use it," He said in a gravelly voice and I retracted my tongue in an instant. His eyes hooded, he stalked towards me. I burrowed down deeper into the duvet, and I waited in anticipation. Hmmm, my Mate was hot!

"You know, Sya, you seem very good at distracting me," mused Dante as we lay by each other. All I can say is that now it was mighty toasty under the duvet!

"I know," I sighed, "but don't pretend you didn't like it!"

"I wouldn't dream of it!" He quickly said and I laughed. Dante's fingers traced my back and I could tell he felt the slight bumps and dips over my skin. He had seen it all and had said nothing but I felt the topic coming now. "Sya, are you going to tell me what happened?"

I sighed and lay my head on his chest. I didn't want to and now Dante was fast becoming a full Mate to me, for we had done everything but mark each other and complete the bond. I could feel him now in the back of my mind and it was a comfort to me. "Where should I start," I finally said.

"How about the Gala," he gently suggested.

"I was at the Gala because Alpha Thomas wanted to use me there. You see, I have this... knack I guess, and it allows me to tell truth from lie." Dante looked at me.

"Well that's not fair! What if I want to surprise you with something?"

"Nope, not going to happen. I can tell I lie from a mile away so you better watch out, Mr Alpha," I teased and bopped him on the nose. "Thomas also wanted to use me to get closer to the Sorcerers." Dante tensed at that and I rubbed his back. "I'm here now, Dante, whatever I say happened in the past, okay?" He nodded and I continued. "So it was here that I met Adrian but I also saw you. Thomas had sent me upstairs and I was really hungry so I slipped down again and into the hall where everyone else was. I raided the food and I stayed at the back. Then you came up on the stage and to be honest you hit me like a tonne of bricks!" I could just tell that Dante's wolf was preening at the compliment and I smiled despite what I had to explain next. "I was by the doors and you were up on the podium. The wind blew in behind me and you stopped talking. Now remember that I didn't know you then like I know you now. But when I figured out that you were my Mate... my first instinct was to run. All I could think about was how you hated Sorcerers and how I was who you hated most. Also, I had never had any freedom for the last eight years of my life, and the fear that you would be a controlling Alpha Male was too much. So I hid. I actually hid just outside those doors and you came through them, only about two feet away from me." He frowned and held me tighter. "Remember, I'm here now. After that I went back home and I carried on meeting with the Sorcerers. Adrian hid his sick nature well. Then Thomas told me that I would be marrying Adrian." Dante tensed completely beside me and I stopped talking.

"Carry on," he said gruffly. I swallowed and did so. I explained to him how I had overheard them talking and how they wanted to use me against him. I glanced over what Adrian had done to me; Dante knowing would do nothing but anger him further. I then told him how I had escaped and I berated myself for not seeing that it was a set up. I then told him how I had used my father's money and flew to Alaska to find him. I said how I found the witch to give me the charm and then how I came here. By the time I had come to the end of my story, I was hardly making full sentences because Dante had started kissing up my neck, the bugger.

"Dante..." I practically moaned and he hummed in happiness. Obviously he had found a way to unwind himself and not be so tense like my story had made him.

"I'm so happy I killed the bastard," he murmured and I shivered.

I wanted to have a conversation with him, but I didn't think it was on the agenda.

Oh, what a shame!
