Alphas Luna - COMPLETED

Lexi's POV

I'm in a clearing surrounded by trees. There's a woman with me. She looks somehow familiar.

'Lexi! Run!' The woman screeches.

'Why mommy? Are we playing a game?' I ask, bouncing around.

'Yes, we're playing tag. Now run and never let them catch you. Can you do that?'

'Yes mommy. Where's Daddy? Aww, did he get caught?'
The woman's eyes fill with tears.

"Yes, Lexi. Daddy got caught. Now quickly, before they get here. Run. Don't ever look back, do you understand? Don't look back. Be as quiet as you can. Run and go straight to alpha Xavier or beta Sam. They will look after you. Never forget."

The woman says the last part in a barely audible whisper. I nod and turn, laughing, before sprinting away. I've barely gotten five feet before I hear a high pitch scream.

"Mama?" I shout.

A man comes out from behind a tree. His eyes are pitch black like his hair and his nails have elongated into claws.

"Lexi. Lexi! Lexi!" The man shouts.

I'm shook awake and I snap my eyes open to see a worried looking Aiden. I sit up and notice I'm drenched in sweat. "What happened?" I ask, pressing the palm of my hand against my temple.

"It's a blood moon." Aiden says darkly.

My eyes widen and I groan. A blood moon is extremely rare. To humans, it's just a red tinged full moon. To werewolves, it's much worse.

If you're not completely focused, even if you start daydreaming for just a second, all your worst memories come back. I suddenly remember my nightmare.

"What were you screaming about?" Aiden asks.

I don't really want to answer that so, without making eye contact I just mumble quietly, "nightmare."

Aiden puts a reassuring hand on my shoulder and smiles weakly. I give him a small smile back and decide to get dressed.

"Did you have any nightmares?" I ask him while walking to the closet.

I don't want to get a shower in case I let my mind wander.

"Unimportant." Is all Aiden replies with. I roll my eyes and open the door of the closet, picking out leggings and a crop top. After making sure I'm hidden by the door, I start to strip out my pyjamas and get dressed.

When I turn round again I crash into a chest. Looking up I see it's Aiden. He grins and pulls me into a random hug. When he pulls away again I raise an eyebrow in question.

"And the reason for that is..." I say, letting the sentence hang.

"Because I'm your mate. Is that a good enough reason?" He asks.

I chuckle and he picks me up by the waist, lifting me to his face and kissing my lips softly. I wrap my arms round his neck.

He pulls away and I look at the look of confusion on his face. What is going on with him today? He looks around him before looking back at me.

"When did I get out of bed?" He asks.

I give him a questioning look before answering slowly, "Aiden... you got out bed when I was getting dressed... didn't you notice you were walking?"

He looks even more confused at this before grabbing my hand and dragging me out the door. He doesn't stop and continues to drag me downstairs. He runs to the kitchen and his mother, Sandra, is standing there cooking breakfast.
Doesn't she have her own house?
