Beautiful Savage

Chapter 27: Black Eyes, No Soul

You fall back down, ya get back up.

"Again!", I yelled standing again and got into fighting stance. I loved fighting, always have and I think I'll always will. What I didn't like was the pampering that my mother gave me. It was annoying to be taught how to eat, sit and walk gracefully. I didn't care about impressing others. I was going to be future Alpha of this pack and I needed to show that I was dominant

"You sure you wanna go again?", my father asked and I nodded "alright, back at!"

I jumped up sweating and ironically feeling cold. Hayden wasn't on the other side... Ever since I told him we needed space, everyone has hardly seen him and I'm starting to worry. Yes, I told him that we need space, but it's been over a month and I'm getting anxious. Since when did Hayden actually did as I say? Was he waiting for me to tell him that the break was over?

"Fuck it!", I mumbled and got out of bed. I sped to the door, opened it and at the same time his office door opened. He just stared at each other in the silence, only the candle lamps on the hallways help me see what he looked like. His eyes were red, tears running down his face, chest rising and falling rapidly, and he looked at me with the most terrified look

"Hayden? What's wro-", I stopped after he hugged me tightly with no intension of letting me go "Hayden"

"I lost you", he whispered burying his face into my neck "it was so real... There was blood and screaming and.... I couldn't control myself"

"Hayden?", I whispered looking up at him "what happened? Nightmare?". He stared down at me with his wild eyes then shook his head

"It was worse than a nightmare, worse than the nightmares I had when I was little...."

"Come, let's go to bed", I spoke softly taking his hand and went into our room "what was it about?"

"Um....", he seemed unsure to tell or maybe scared? Hayden scared? This must be serious "it was about the war... And you died"

"Well, it's pretty normal to dream about.... I seem to be all the bad guys targets", I chuckled trying to lighten the mood but Hayden took my hands in his and looked into my eyes. He was seriously scared.

"Ariel....", he paused for a moment and I waited "I killed you.... Something possessed me and I- I couldn't stop it!"

"Babe, look at me", I held his face in my hands and he closed his eyes "I'm not going anywhere and nothing is going to happen to you got it? Beside I'd beat your ass before you could even touch me". I gave him a small reassuring smile, he looked at me for a while before giving me a small smile
