--------------------

I glared at Miranda and Xander anxiously. Please dear moon goddess don't make me say it...

"Everything has significance. I can not help you if you don't tell me what dreams you're having. "

I felt like dying. At this very moment in time I prefer being kept a prisoner in the dungeons.

"I've been having dreams about ", I glanced at Xander anxiously.

"Speak, child. "

"Spit it out, Rebecca. You are wasting my time! ", Xander shouted.

Just rip of the bandaid - Grace shouted

"I have been having lustful dreams about Xander ", I screamed aloud due to Miranda, Grace and Xander pressuring me to spit it out.

I immediately brought my palm to my mouth and my eyes were wide.

Xander coughed out in surprise and smiled. It was the fist genuine smile I saw on his face since I met him.

He began to laugh uncontrollably and I gave him such a deadly glare that he immediately stopped laughing and his face turned to a serious one again.

"Aha. In this dream, are you freely moving about or are you afraid. ", she asked.

Kill me now. Just kill me.

I cleared my throat and avoided looking at Xander.

"He has me pinned down to the bed with one arm an he kisses me. I'm unable to move. ", I mentally kick myself.

The pendant glows again and burns me.

I roll my eyes.

"I want to kiss him back and deepen the kiss but he doesn't let me. He keeps leaving a trial of kisses down my body. I eventually wake up before things become too heated. ", I replied. I'm so embarrassed.

The pendant remains clear and I exhale a deep breath.

"The dream means that you want to give in to the bond but you are prevented by doing so because of Xander. He blocks you from trying to strengthen the bond for whatever reason he may have. You two must accept each other, then and only then can you both fight your demons and face what is coming. ", she spoke wisely.

Our session had ended and we left the cabin. I got into the car. I was rising shotgun. Xander opened the door and began to drive.

Their was an awkward silence.

He glanced at me while driving and smirked.

I rolled my eyes and he chuckled. I took my handbag and hit him across his chest.

"This doesn't change the fact that you're lusting after me little rogue. ", he laughed.

"I really wish you'd pay more attention to the bigger picture and not what stands as irrelevant news right now! ", I crossed my arms and looked away from him into the distance.

"I am looking at the bigger picture. We have a threat and we must destroy it. ", he said sternly.

I scoffed.

"I don't think you realise that the threat is US. We are each other's problems. Miranda said-"

"That we must accept each other if we want to solve out problems. I know. I was there. ", he said strictly.

His voice was so deep.

We reached the palace and he switched of the car.

"Did you really tell Lyra to leave? ", I asked quietly.

"I did. I can't change overnight Rebecca. I'm trying to help you. I'm doing little things in the hope that you stop living in constant fear. I am a monster, I know I am. I can't love or be loved but I'm trying to help you, I just need some time -"

"We'll work through this, together. ", I gave him a small smile.

"I've done a lot of bad and mean things to you in the past. Things that I'm not proud of. I'm starting afresh with you - please, forgive me. ", I saw honesty and hope in his eyes.

My mind said no to him but my heart was uncontrollable. My heart wanted to forgive him and it wanted to belong to him, the bond we shared only grew with each passing moment and deep down I knew that I should give him a chance. Everyone deserves a second chance... I let loose and I just gave in. Maybe it was the mate bond or maybe I just wanted to have a fresh start too but right then in that moment I knew that things would be ok. Something clicked into place when he looked at me and I could feel it in my bones and in my very heart. I knew with everything that I'm made of that we'd be ok. I just needed to give everything one last try.

I grabbed his face and kissed him deeply.
My hands played with his lush hair and his arms roamed my back. I felt my blood rush through my face. It was such a rush. Kissing him was like skydiving.

"You didn't let me finish. ", he smiled.

"You didn't have to. ", I replied while blushing.

"What was that for? ", he asked referring to the kiss.

"For trying. ", I tucked loose hair behind my ear.

He brought his face to mine one more time and kissed me softly. He's tounge fought for dominance and he won. He bit my lower lip and I moaned.I felt his smirk on my lips. He pulled away and his eyes were black with lust.

I chuckled.

"Maybe we should go now. ", he smiled at me and we got out of the car.

We parted ways inside the palace. I went to tell storm about my day and he went to his office.

"You had to explain your dream to Miranda in from off him!? ", storm laughed uncontrollably. We were sitting on the bed that she shared with liam. She moved to the palace once Liam and her became mates.

"I'm glad my misfortunate situation brings a smile to your face. ", I threw a pillow at her which caused her to laugh even more and I rolled my eyes.

"I wouldn't call a heated kiss with Xander a misfortune.", she mocked while wiggling her eyebrows.

"You're so annoying sometimes Storm-wait scratch that, you're annoying all the time. "

-------------

We went downstairs for supper and I sat far away from Xander. He was at the head of the table and I was a lot of chairs away. . I couldn't control my blushing and he couldn't control his smirk.

"Are you enjoying your supper? ", Storm asked me. She sat next to me.

"Yeah", I looked down at my plate.

"By supper I mean Xander smirking uncontrollably at you. ", she mocked.

I looked at her wide eyed and nudged her.

"You two do realise he has wolf hearing? ", Liam said sarcastically. I looked around at all the nobles at the table who were engrossed in political affairs.

Every dinner here was a huge event. Around 60 people sat along a long, rectangular table. Werewolves of high rankings belonging to this pack and living in the palace had to dine with the king-Xander.

"He's right you know... ", Xander whispered and due to my wolf hearing I could listen past all the racket made by al the wolves.

I chocked on the sip of wine I took while he spoke.

That entire dinner I was as quiet as a mouse.
