"After my mother was killed. Me and my brother had to go in hiding disguising ourselves as humans and living a hard life of poverty. Even though we gave up everything, some people still couldn't rest and tried to attack us. It was then we lost it and went to our father in hell and trained ourselves to become stronger. We returned back to the human world after becoming the stronger version of ourselves but the power we had was still less powerful because of the curse and those royals found a way to get rid of their curse. 

They overpowered my family by just a few and drove us to ruin. I couldn't do anything about it...Diana. My face got burned. I barely managed to live. 

All I have left is the fire for vengeance. I'm powerless even though the drive for revenge kept me alive till now. But slowly I'm growing tired of living a life like this. I know even if I get revenge it's of no use. I can't get back what I've lost. I don't know what I should do?"

"...rae!"
"Narae!" I heard Soobin calling my name, bringing me back to reality. I gazed up at his handsome face, soft smile appearing on his lips when our eyes met. 

After coming to the lake, I did not want to return home yet. Soobin took me to a villa that his family owned surprisingly very close to the pack. It was a little dusty because he told me that it wasn't used for a long time. The basic amenities were still functioning. I took bath and he gave me his mother's clothes. All of her clothes were pretty and extravagant, I barely managed to find a simple white loose dress. The bedroom was little bit dusty but Soobin used his powers to clean it up. I really want to learn all about it his powers. They are super cool.

"What are you thinking?" He asked in a mellow deep voice. I smiled, shaking my head before snuggling my face in his chest inhaling his cologne. While he brushed my hair with his hands. 

"What were you thinking?" He asked me again. I knew he wouldn't give up without hearing an answer. 
"Just about a dream, I had." 
"What was the dream about?"
"About me being a homeless person and you saving me like a hero and taking me in." I said in a childish voice. 

His body stiffened and he stopped for a moment. I gazed up to see a unreadable expression on his face. His eyes wide open while he stared into space. 

"It's a dream. Why would you be homeless?" He said, his voice sounding restless. Is he worried? 
"What is it?" Something feels off. 
He shook his head, "Nothing."
"You're hiding something. Tell me!" I stared right into his red orbs. He stared back at me for seconds before a sigh escaped his lips. I sat up on the bed feeling the seriousness of the conversation that was about to take place. 

"Well... I keep having weird nightmares. I've told you about my insomnia right?" He asks, I nodded. 

"I just keep seeing weird things in my dreams. I see myself being locked in the mansion, fire everywhere. I see my brothers dying  in fire or sometimes someone just slashes the throat of my elder brother. I see you dying by the lake. And what you talked about being homeless. I've seen that dream too. I just thought it was weird that you also had the same dream as me..." 

The moment he said that, I felt the entire world stopping. I held my breath, millions of questions running wild in my head. The thing which I call a dream is reality. That's what happened in future and all the events which he told me right now. He had told them to me in the future about how everyone in his family was killed. My heart began pounding at the realisation that he was seeing foresight of what was about to happen.

I barely managed to cover all this with a smile. I extended my hand towards him cupping his cheeks. As he closed his eyes leaning on my hand. I could see his forehead wrinkling with all the thoughts.

I'm a primordial werewolf, I believe I must have been born again for a great cause. Why would I be born again? I'm someone who only existed in legends. Some werewolves don't even believe that I existed. Whatever. 
I recalled that one time I was talking to Nephele who asked me to find a reason I've come back in time for? I think I know now. 

Roughly calculating, the world in future should not be how it was. From what Soobin told me in the future. It has something to do with his family curse. They weren't able to get rid of the curse which caused the downfall of their clan. I need to know more about it. So I can protect him.

I sighed and said. 

"All of it is just a dream Soobin! Nothing will happen. Do not worry." I will not let anything bad happen to you this time. 

"Yeah! I know." He said kissing my palm. I climbed on top of his lap. Soobin, looked at me surprise. While I let my fingers run through his raven hair.

"Narae..."

I blinked, the voice so close to my ears tingled. Slowly I flickered my eyes and looked at Soobin's face. His pale cheeks had turned red, his eyes looked drunken and vulnerable. His hands slowly began to make it's way to my thighs, pushing the hem of night gown up. I narrowed my eyes knowing his intention of doing so. The strong scent of his pheromones making me dizzy.
