I could see my mother and I, running through the forest. We seemed happy, really happy. The green leaves from above were swaying in the wind. We dodged trees, enjoying the feeling of the wind going through our fur. Then another wolf appeared. Only we weren't running from him but we were running with him.

He was tall and ran with a aura of pride around him. He looked at Mother and I with love in his eyes. It was my father.

Then the scene changed. The sky was dark, the woods scary, and there was three rogues in the distance. It was like it happened in slow motion. Mother, Father, and I came to a halt. These rogues- they were the same ones that killed Mother. But Mother was right here, with Father and I.

I couldn't do anything as two went for Father and the other towards Mother. I turned around just in time to see Father get held down by one and his throat ripped out by the other. A scream goes through the air, I'm not even sure whose since we are all in wolf form. Next thing I know the same thing happens to Mother, only no one has to hold her now.

All thee rogues turn to me, blood smearing their front sides. It is as if they can smile evilly at me, quietly telling me that I am next. My thoughts prove correct when they all go for me. They all tear at me on the sides, shoulders, legs, and there is nothing I can do to stop them. After they have their torturous fun one of them , the one who killed Mother, aims for the death bite. And just as he sinks his teeth in I wake up.

A scream bubbles out of my throat as I jolt out of bed. I stop screaming as someone comes to my side. They put their hands on my shoulders and I slowly calmed down. I looked at who had their hands on my shoulders and saw Zay. Her blond hair was falling out of her ponytail in little wisps and her blue eyes were frantic and wide.

"Celeste," she said calmly. "Are you okay?" I nodded weakly and she frowned even more than she was before. "Then why are you crying?" I brought my hand up to my cheek. They were warm and wet. I was crying. Next thing I know I can't stop crying. Sobs are escaping my lips and I'm being held by Zay.

"Don't worry sweet heart," she whispers in my ear. "I'll mind link Xavier." She is quiet for a second, running her hand up and down my back as I sob. "He will be here in a minute sweet heart. Don't worry."

Within minutes I was pulled away from Zay and into the arms of Xavier. Tingles raced throughout my body and I clung to him crying. I pushed away all of my fears of other people, especially guys, and clung to Xavier. He put his hand on the back of my head, holding me to his chest, and whispered things in my ear about how everything would be alright.

I felt him walking out of the room and up the stairs. Eventually he sat down again and I clung to him tighter, not wanting him to let me go. "Please," I begged, "Don't let me go."

"I would never dream of it little one." I breathed in his scent of coconut and fresh rain, trying to calm myself. I let myself breath in his scent a few more times before I was calmed down enough to stop the sobs.

   "Zay told me that you had a nightmare. What was it about?" I balled his shirt in my hands as I debated if I should tell him or not. He was my mate after all and mates are supposed to tell each other everything, aren't they?

   "I was dreaming of my father and mother." He stiffened when I mentioned my mother and that made me curious. Did he know what happened to her? "We were running, we were happy. Then these rogues appeared." He stiffened again. "I have seen them before though. Right before I passed out in your pack's territory. They were the ones who tried to kill my mother and I. Tried to kill me, they succeeded in killing my mother." He stiffened once again and I became even more curious than before.
