My Arrogant Mate Is An Alpha Jerk [Book 2 of Alpha Mate Trilogy]

Chapter Twelve: Reoccurring Dream

I stared out into the dense forest around the clearing I was standing in. It was midnight and cold as winds blew passed me, ruffling my top and hair. I turned around looking for something or someone to find, hoping I wasn't alone in this dark, unfamiliar place. Eerie screams and groans echoed from tree lines I was scared and alone, why the hell was I out here? What happened? Where am I? I ran towards the trees, hoping to find a path out of here, but the closer and closer I ran to the trees the farther and farther away they were. Am I drugged or something? Is my mind messing with me?

"Where are you going?"  I whipped my head to see who was behind me, but no one was.

"Who's there?" I asked curiously.

"You know." The voice said again from behind me.

"I don't."

"It's me," Arms encircled me, pulling me against a warm, solid figure.

"Markus, let me go this instant." I demanded digging my fingernails into the thick muscles of his forearms.

"You didn't say anything before in the kitchen,"

"That was an unlikely, unseen circumstance and I didn't know how to react."

"Nah, you wanted it as much as I did, you just didn't know how it felt."

"Let me go."

He flipped me over, pushing us closer and pull me off the ground slightly. "And how would you get home?"

"I'll figure it out," I snapped. He laughed and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.

"So stubborn, but you know that already."

"Markus you need to-"

"Shush." He ordered laying me down on the grass, he followed. "Don't be so angry."

"Get off!" I snapped pushing him with my arms, but he pinned them down and found himself in between my legs. "Markus, don't."

"Mm..." He said licking and sucking a soft spot on my neck. I gasped and he took the opportunity to kiss me. Lost in the ecstasy of it all, I gave in to the temptation and kissed Markus back. His hand ran up and down my sides and I gripped the sides of his face letting his tongue devour my mouth. He grounded his hips into mine, causing me to moan and a smirk to appear on his face.

"How long?"

"How long what?" I asked breathlessly as he kissed my neck, letting me have air.

"How long have you wanted this?"

"Since I was thirteen," I gripped his shoulder as he scattered butterfly kisses across my neck. "God, but I never had dreams like these before."

"When I kissed you in the kitchen, I might triggered an early heat."

"But I-"

"You have some qualities that of a werewolf and this is one of them. It's only a matter of time before you can't take it."

"And you knew this," I whimpered angrily, he kissed my lips again.

"I want you and I'm going to have you," He bucked his hips into mine sent me reeling in pleasure...

And into reality.

Sweat collected on my forehead and the familiar surrounds of my bedroom. I sat up, wiping the excess perspiration from my brow, it's happening again. This is the third night this week and today is the Alpha Union and I'm supposed to wake up in the few hours for this Midnight Moon thing for the Alpha Union. I haven't gotten much sleep all day and I'm exhausted.
