Zaina's P.O.V

*I jumped from the bed when a man was thrown into my hut, with his throat slashed open and his eyes gone. I grabbed my cape and ran around the body. As I looked upon my fathers land, there was blood, death, and wolves everywhere. My people are being cut down by the night creatures.

I tried finding my family, but they were nowhere in sight. As I moved to go look for them a giant man stood in front of me. Blood was dripping from his head down to his mouth and chin. One of his hands contained a sword and his other hand contained the head of one of my people.

"Well look what we have here, the chief's daughter. Oh Ziana just as beautiful as the first day I laid my eyes on you." Said the man as he dropped the man's head, the head rolled and landed by my feet. I stepped back but that didn't make the man happy so he took a step forward.

"Why do you step away from me? I am to be your husband, where you will give me my heirs. And if not I'll take you over and over again until you are round with babe." I stared in shock as he said.

When I was about to reply when a wolf came and attacked the man. With the man's neck in the wolf's mouth, the wolf turned the man's neck until there was a crack. The wolf dropped the man and turned towards me and...*

I woke up with a start again. With cold sweat dripping down my body and breathing uneven. I have been having this dream and many others for the past few months. I look over at my parents, they are sleeping peacefully like nothing has happened to their daughter. who was a few feet away.

So I get up to clear my head, this has come to be a normal routine for me. Dream, wake up, wonder around, and then never go back to sleep. I grab my cape and the fur my brother, Willem got for me for the 18th winter.

Both my brothers have either married or found their soulmate. Willem married his lovely wife, Evangeline (bearer of good news). She is a Healer here. Evangeline is a very bright person. And Bram was a soulmate to one of the wolfwalkers. Her name goes so well with her looks and personality. Kiara (little and dark) she is small and pretty but on her bad side, she is like the darkest thing you'll ever see.

My father is very open to people who have soulmates to come to our village. I don't think at first he was but my mother did a lot of persuading. We now have five wolfwalkers here. They are all women because their mate lives here. If a female human from our village was a mate they'd go with them into their pack.

I thought about this as my late night walk came to an end. As I opened the hut door my mother and father were awake waiting for me.

"Did it happen again, my child." My mother asked

"Yes, I was just trying to clear my head." I replayed as I stood in front of them with my head bowed. I hated it when they found out about the dreams. They took me to the Healer once but ...nothing. They took me to the Seer...all she said was a great fortune was to come save me. I don't know what was meant by that.

I was awoken from my thoughts when my father said, "Tell us about the dream, my daughter."
