The Leolf Trilogy- #1 Awakening of Chaos

Chapter 9 - Hallucinations

>Alexa's POV<

I was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep, when I finally decided to get up and find something to eat.
I was in an unfamiliar but pretty room. Blue light flooded in through the open window and the curtains fluttered occasionally in the cool breeze. I walked to the window in a trance-like state. It felt as if I was being summoned by some power.....
As I gazed into the night sky, I realised there was no moon. There were only stars. Millions of them. I stood there, unmoving like a sculpture, enigma of the stars encapsulating me.

All of a sudden, I began to feel giddy. Everything around me started to spin, and I collapsed on the floor. I was grateful to feel the hard surface beneath me. After taking a few deep breaths with my eyes closed, I decided it was safe to open them again.
I was staring into the eyes of the wolf in front of me. Involuntarily, my hand reached out to pet him. I stroked his smooth and soft fur. He licked my hand in response. He was no stranger. He was Savage.
"Why did you leave me?", I asked, sadness clouding my voice.
His expression mirrored my despair. Sitting in the blue light, he looked mystical. He opened his mouth as if to respond to my question. But, he thought better of it and proceeded to lick the length of my collarbone. That's when I realised that I barely had any clothes on. I was simply wrapped in a towel and for some reason, that didn't bother me.
After spending a few minutes with his head on my lap, he got up as if to leave. I hugged him tightly and the giddy feeling came back. I was afraid he would dissappear again if I let go. So, just before I lost consciousness, I uttered a word without thinking.
"Stay!"

I woke up with a start, drenched in sweat. My fists were clenched tightly, nails digging into my flesh. I was gasping for air like a fish out of water, my heart was thumping in a frenzy. It was dawn and I was in my suite, safely tucked away in bed.

Did I just dream of falling into an endless, spinning, purple pit?

Though I was glad that it was just a stupid nightmare, something bothered me.

Maybe just the hangover.

I took in a few deep breaths while focusing on the ceiling, till my heart calmed down and reached over to grab a bottle of water placed on the bedside table.
As I gulped down water, I started getting goosebumps all over.

Oh no! Someone is here in my room?!

I scanned the room, clutching a pillow, incase I needed a weapon for self-defence. Sure enough, there was a guy sitting by the window. He had a toned physique and hair that fell into his eyes. If I wasn't feeling horrified, seeing a complete stranger sitting in my room, I would have admitted he looked cute.

Instinctively, I threw the pillow at him. I was shocked to see him disappear into thin air, after catching the pillow smoothly.

Was he a ghost?!

"So, you wanna play pillow fight with me huh?! Sounds fun!"

I turned to my left to find him sitting beside me on the bed, smirking mischievously.

"Are you a GHOST?!", I asked, trying to sound as calm as possible. But, that was impossible.

He just rolled his eyes at me.
"Why don't you touch me and decide for yourself?"

"I won't touch you!", I replied, shuddering at the thought of it.

He seemed irritated at first, but soon flashed me an evil grin.
"Alright. But, I will!"

In a flash, he was on top of me. I could feel the warmth and pressure of his body, but I realised that he was careful not to put his entire body weight on me. He was supporting it on his elbows placed beside my shoulders.
I was in the least dignified position, especially because there was a creepy stranger on top of me and it looked like we were celebrating our honeymoon.

Though I was scared of him, I tried to push him away, placing my hands on his chest. But, he was too strong for me and didn't budge an inch.
I could feel his heart beat rhythmically under my palm

Thank God! Atleast, he's not a ghost...

"I thought someone said she 'won't touch' me?! ", he exclaimed innocently.

"Get off me, you monster!"

"You can call me Monster."

He shouldn't have said that.....

Thinking about the lyrics of that song made my face go red. He realised that I was blushing and chuckled darkly.

"Okay, whatever. Just get off me!"

"Say 'pretty please'. The meaner you get, the longer I make you my bed."

"Pretty please!"

"Okay."

As soon as he got off me, I made a dash for the door. But, I ended up colliding into him.

How is he so freaking FAST?!

"Bad idea."
With that he threw me over his left shoulder and spanked me.
I was too bewildered to even make a sound.
After throwing me on the bed, he glared at me menacingly.

"Don't make a sound. Or I can do worse."

My. Life. Is. Fucked.

"I don't mean to harm you. I would have left if you hadn't asked me to stay...."

"B-but, I don't know you..... and I'm sure I've never seen you b-before...."

"You know me, Lexi. You loved me. Don't deny that."
He stared into my eyes with a pained expression.

I didn't know how to respond to that. So, I stared blankly at him.
He sighed, came closer to me and hugged me tightly, burying his face in my neck. His warm breath tickled me, sending shivers up and down my body.

"I'm sorry for scaring you like this. I got into your head, just to see if you missed me the way I miss you. I want you to know that I love you so much. It hurts like hell to stay away from you."

Before I realised it, tears were streaming down my cheeks. I couldn't believe this was happening. But, it was. Realisation finally dawned upon me.
Without thinking, I stroked his smooth and soft hair.
He lifted his head to look at me, it broke my heart to see the sadness in his eyes.

"Why did you leave me?", I asked, sadness clouding my voice.
His expression mirrored my despair.

"I have to go now. Don't tell anyone that you saw me. I will come back for you, when I can. Until then, goodbye."

"Savage, you can't jus-"
Before I could complete my sentence, his lips crushed against mine. It was warm and soft. Though the kiss was hurried, he was very passionate and loving.
Before I knew it, the room started to spin again, turning into shades of purple.
I knew I was about to lose my consciousness.

"I love you. Always and forever."
Those were the last words I heard before I blacked out.
