I walked through the snow filled forest, only wearing a thin t-shirt and sweatpants made from thin material.

I glanced at my pale bare feet that crunched the snow under them, however, I couldn't feel the cold at all.

After a few minutes, the trees started to disappear, leaving only the pure white snow in the far distance, the only flaw among the perfect, clear snow was a brown animal in the far distance.

I narrowed my eyes to see better as something continuously pulled me in it's direction, the shape of the animal finally became clearer as it now stood a few feet away.

It was an amazingly gorgeous wolf.

Though the lighting made the wolf hard to see, the flawless creature looked fiercely familiar.

The wolf turned it's head in my direction, beautiful marsh green eyes stared into my soul, and as it noticed me it's ears perked and it's tail began to wag, it stood up almost shivering with excitement, it's face almost as if it were smiling.

As I smiled the wolf began to jump over excitedly, my heart felt warm as a reached out to pet the side of it's face, but it quickly grew faster in an unpleasant way as I shrinked my hand back.

Something sticky as got all over my hand, I looked down to see red covering my hand completely, I grew cold.

Was the wolf hurt??

My eyes shot back to the beautiful wolf, now I could see them more clearly, blood poured from something they had in the mouth, and it drenched the canine from almost head to toe.

I glanced into its eyes to see a once soft gaze crazy with bloodlust, I fell backwards, my hands now printing the once clean and pristine snow with my bloody handprint.

I stared at the animal that didn't move, "...What's in your mouth?" I finally asked, the beast didn't do anything for a moment before it lowered its head and dropped a large chunk of flesh onto the flawed white snow.

I quickly got to my feet and looked beyond the hideous monster, red painted over the once most amazing snow, bodies laid everywhere like flies, followed by the deep, scary footprints left by the disgusting monster.

The monster, however, looked proud, and kept trying to come closer, but this time I moved away, despite the tug to move closer the monstrous thing.

I flinched as suddenly a pack of wolves attacked the monster all at once.

After what seemed like forever, the beast began to flee, but the wolves trailed it quickly, my heart beat quicker,

"Wait..." I gasped, but nobody stopped, I began to run, "Wait..!" But the chase for the animal continued, "Hold on!" I called, but however the canine was still followed.

They attacked once more, but this time taking the wolf down with them, and I could do nothing but watch it happen.

I coughed as I joke up, "Strange..." I groaned, shifting uncomfortably, now I was sweaty and the memories of the dream started to quickly fade away, and I began to question why I was scared in the first place.

My eyes flickered to the corner of room, a large figure stood, the room was so silence I couldn't even hear them breathe.

I tensed as they moved closer, but I could put two and two together to know who it was.

"How'd you get in?..." I grumbled, pulling my legs closer to my body, "Why were you watching me, Reed?"

Reed shrugged, "I was just worried about you, what if somebody hurt your poor feelings while I was gone?" He asked slightly sarcastically as he closed in towards the bed.

I frowned, "My feelings don't get hurt," I muttered, I could've sworn I had seen Reed cock an eyebrow, but he said nothing more as he sat down next to me.

"...What?" I asked, suddenly feeling slightly uncomfortable with a mix of something else as Reed continued to stare at me.

"When will you let me mark you?"

"Eh?" I asked, quickly getting up from the bed, "Where'd that come from?..."

Reed didn't look amused, "Where wouldn't it? I don't like it." He asked also getting up from the bed, and proceeded towards me.

"Don't like what?..." My eyes sinked towards the ground as I got closer to the wall.

"I don't like you not being with me, I want to sense you, why would I let you stay here with these people?"

I felt my back hit the wall, "Y-youre not letting me do anything, I'm staying here cause I want to,"

Reeds finger slipped under my chin, his claw extended which felt sharp against my flesh before placing his forehead onto mine, "You're toying with me, Ryan."

I flinched as his voice lowered, though it didn't sound as he was trying to threaten me, I slumped my head down on to his shoulder.

Against my better judgement, I inhaled.

I shuddered, his scent smelled so good and I couldn't explain why, I lifted my head off his shoulder to look at him once more, this time he leaned in closer.

"You're not going to leave me for these people, are you?" He asked, his voice at a slight growl, but I couldn't answer him.

"Why-...." I couldn't find the words.

"I'm not dumb, Ryan, I can smell that mutts scent everywhere, all over your house, your stuff, your clothes." He nuzzled his head in my neck and inhaled before continuing, "All over you."

Now he was so close his lips almost touched mine, "You're not leaving me, Ryan." his voice was barely a whisper before our lips finally touched, now I couldn't think.

This wasn't supposed to happen.

He pushed me closer the wall, I couldn't think properly.

His strong body was warm, and it was all over me, I found it harder to breathe as one hand lifted my head higher while the other pulled me closer in his direction.

I was just talking about not being with my destined mate, I could pick my own.

Reeds warm tongue slipped into my mouth, and I couldn't fight the urge to allow it in, allowing my tongue to meet his.

I slowly moved my hands up his back before settling them on his shoulders.

Reed seemed almost desperate now.

I gripped him harder, my heart slammed against my chest, and since we were so close I assumed he felt it too.

I felt helpless.

I explored his mouth with my tongue, occasionally running it over his sharp canines.

I couldn't breathe.

His hand reached up to my hair and he pulled my head back, I let out a slight whimper.

A knock on the door pulled me away from him, I gasped, trying to catch my breath.

A low growl started to form in Reeds throat, I covered his mouth, though it did little to stop it, but he took the hint and stopped.

I glanced at his eyes and flinched, they looked feral, as if he were stalking prey and ready to kill.

"Ryan, are you okay?"
