1. A Secret of Snow and Ruin

Chapter VI ‼️

Elysia Wolfe

I felt cold lips touch my neck. Striking green eyes blinked up at me and moved the locs away from my face. This angel of a man looking down at me caused my heart to flutter. Who was he, and why did my heart call to him like magic?

My heart began to rise just from his prescence. His rough and calloused hands touched my body with a sensual flare. His fingers touched my sex and I got wetter by the second. I melted and the need to undo myself hastened my breathing. He placed a finger to his lips, shushing me as the moans continued to spill out.

He then spoke and told me to relax for him as his finger reached my entrance. The way his fingers danced against me, left me feverish but also chilled with goosebumps. As his pace picked up, I looked in his eyes to see lust and I loved it. I never felt this way before. His voice was deep and in his arms I felt so warm and loved. He was bigger than me at around 6'4 and the muscles on his arms flexed as he continue to make me feel good. I grabbed his back and pleaded for more.

Surely enough my claws dug into his back but something told me that a man like him has felt worse pain.

But as I came undone in his hands, I moved to flip him over and return to favor. When I did, I saw the symbol on his back. I flinch from the sight and for a second I don't breathe or say a word. He looks at me with innocent eyes and says, "What you don't like it?"

That is when I woke up.

I tried going back to the dream but I couldn't. I threw my pillow across the room in outrage. Whoever this man from my dreams was, I yearned for him but he had that same symbol I saw etched in Onyx Crest's banner and that same symbol marked by my mothers dead body. 

Who was he and why has he taken over me? 

I get out of bed to shower and get dressed in todays hunting uniform. As I got ready, I tried to think away the dirty thoughts from my dream. For all I knew that man from my dreams was the devil trying to subdue me. To think of something else, I drink my cup of tea that one of the cooks prepared. If I touch anything in this kitchen, I'd be burning down this manor and leaving my family without a home. Maybe some warlock will wisk me away and save me from my wretched cooking skills but then again I'd betray my family and be even more outcast and ridiculed.

Isn't life so giving to me?

I chuckle to myself at the thought. What the fuck was I thinking? I shake my head to dismiss myself but I keep laughing. I laugh at the fact I'm laughing and the fact I had such a taboo dream that actually got me flustered.

Maybe my heat was coming up? Yeah that's gotta be it.

"What are you laughing about?" Jasper asks me. He enters the kitchen dressed in his uniform and he looks prepared and refreshed. I shrug and roll my shoulders back as I stretch my lanky body.

"Nothing. So...are you mentally ready to go meet with Alpha Ries?" I ask.

Jasper bites his lip and then paces for a few minutes before hitting me with, "Let's just see how this goes. I am ready actually but worried. My people are fighting for their lives"

"I get what you mean. This might be war for us" I say.

"Let's hope we win this"
