Don't cry wolf

•chapter 3•

I'm greeted by the warmth of my home, and my mothers joyful delicate facial expressions.
"Hello mum!"
"Hi darling how was your day?"
"It was pretty plain" I lie
"Well ok then dear if you say so" she says apprehensively
I chuckle nervously not wanting her to know about me getting in trouble with Mr Ramsey or the occurrence with Nicole during lunch.
"Yeah... Sorry mum got to go I've got lots of homework" this time I'm not lying, due to my daydreaming in English I got double the homework which is just... Splendid.

I run up the stairs to my room and instantly sit at my desk and put my nose in my textbooks for the next three and a half hours.

Finally I'm done. That was a struggle, I move at a leisurely pace towards my bay window looking out at the forest not far from my home, as I'm admiring the forest I'm meet with a pair of hazel eyes that look so familiar, eyes that are attached to a towering brown wolf. I gasp at the sight of it, why is it just staring at me? Why is it so close to my house?
All in good time Addison, we must wait for him. Our mystery man. He will tell you.

What the hell is my conscience on about now? 'All in good time' 'he will tell you' what is that supposed to mean. Distracted by my thoughts I look away from the brown wolf and when I glance back nervously, I don't find the familiar hazel eyes to staring back at me. I let out a long shaking breath which I didn't know I was holding. Why did that scare me so much? It's just an animal, but the way it's eyes stared at me was unsettling. I shook myself out of my trance and ran a nice bubble bath to take my mind of the wolf.

After my relaxing bath I get into my pajamas and into my luxurious looking bed, I check my phone to see a text message from bates.

Bates :)

Addison

sent 9:24 pm

I reply with shaking fingers how has bates seen me he's not my neighbor, he hasn't been at my house, how could he have seen me. But I quickly snap out of it. Bates isn't just some stalker he's my friend I'm sure he will have a reasonable explanation for his text message. My question is answered when I hear the ding of my phone

Bates :)
Oh I was driving by your house on the way home and I looked in your window to see if you were in your room, which you were sitting on your bay window. I tried waving but you were day dreaming.. Again haha

Oh that's weird I didn't see a car drive pass, I quickly dismiss my doubts when I realize I'm being irrational, I must have been daydreaming like bates said. I check my phone when I hear a second ding of my phone.

Bates :)
Sorry for freaking you out Addison, I didn't mean to.

I leave the last message feeling uncomfortable with all the lovey comments, I mean we aren't even a couple we are just friends, what if he feels stronger towards me than I originally thought. Rayna always says that he's in love with me and has been since we were 11 years old, she says its kind of creepy how he treats our friendship as a relationship. I just laugh it off and forget about it, but now I'm kind of seeing the silver lining behind it all maybe he is in love with me...? Or maybe he thinks he's in love with me... How am I supposed to tell bates how I feel? I don't want to hurt him....

I mean how could you tell someone that you loved them, truly loved them, but not in the way they wanted you to?

I just don't feel for him in that way, oddly enough it feels wrong to think about anyone but my mystery man in that way. Even if he isn't real.
On a side note if my mystery man isn't real then maybe I should let it go...
Maybe just maybe i should give bates a shot?
Fuck off we will, My inner conscience says while growling.
Did you just growl??
Um no?
Whatever... I wave it off, like I said you're weird, maybe I should see a doctor about this. I think I'm going crazy. I sigh shaking my head, holding my translucent necklace between my fingers, I do this mostly when I'm day dreaming or when I'm worried. You see I've had my necklace ever since I can remember, I never ever take it off. Once when I was younger about 12 or 13 I took it off, my mother and father freaked out at me and grounded me for 2 weeks! For taking off a necklace! They said that its been a family heir loom for years and I can never take it off just in case I loose it. Which I'm not too upset about because it's beautiful it has this golden glowing aura around it, it's a translucent teardrop shape and if I lost it I don't know what I would do. It makes me feel safe and secure.

It was the only thing apart from my parents and my childhood home that could make me feel safe, that was until the man from my dreams started appearing, I feel embarrassed that he makes me feel safer and calmer than I do in my own home, I've never met him and I'm already so dependent on him to have a good nights sleep.

With these thoughts fresh in my brain, I fall asleep hoping for a night filled with my mystery man.

He's standing over me, I can't move, I can't speak all I can do is take in what's going on around me. It's almost like sleep paralysis except I'm not scared, I don't feel like this man is trying to harm me. I try to speak, to ask him who he is, what's going on anything at all. But all I can do is stare. I take in his strong alluring posture and his sharp jawline, his dark chocolate brown hair that I just want to run my fingers through, his forest green eyes that look so familiar I just can't seem to put my finger on it, they seem to flicker gold as his eyes roam over my body, at least the parts of it that are exposed to the cold air, compared to the warm familiarity of the blankets. I watch as he shamelessly checks me out, I can feel my heart beating a million times a minute as he reaches out his hand to caress the side of my soft face, my breathing quickens as his hand gets closer and closer. Finally his fingers make contact with my face, my heart skips a beat as my cheek is lit up with tingles that make me shiver in delight. Of course he can't see the effect he has on my body just by his touch, but I know he can see it in my eyes.
Then he says one word and my insides feel like they are melting, his husky voice making me aroused.
"Mate" he whispers
Once again I try to talk to ask what that means but before any attempt of sound comes out he's gone.... But not before he says those magical words
"I'll come for you, I promise"
