Bring Honor to the Alpha

Chapter 13

---Katrina---

Back home, I was asleep on the couch.  It had been almost a week since I reunited with Bradley.  Layla and Tyana were staying in our guest house.  Brad was in a pack meeting over at the pack house.  Jr. and Alivia were coloring in their coloring books.

I was dreaming.

The guy from my kidnapping was coming after me with a needle.

Just he was about to stab my arm with it I felt my arm being touched and woke up, I realized that I just shoved Brad's hand away.  "You're okay."  he murmured.  "Another dream?"  I sat up and hugged him.  He held me, his hand rubbed my back.  "Guess what?"

"What?"  I asked pulling away.

"Layla and Tyana have been accepted into the pack."

"REALLY?"

"Yes, really."

"Thank you."  I tackled him with a hug and he ended up under me.

"They're your friends.  I wasn't just going to turn it down."

"You were also looking for a proper thank you.  Weren't you?"

"Maybe I was."  He teased.

"Too bad."  I said.

A month later, I was still having nightmares and Brad still wanted to try to have another baby.  The nightmares were getting worse, to the point that I wasn't getting much sleep and neither was Brad.  He was often up most of the night because I was too afraid to go back to sleep.

I was sitting at the table, my head resting in my hand, my eyes started to close.  Brad was giving Jr. a bath and Alivia was sitting in her booster seat eating her cereal.  My head dropped and I snapped out of it some.

Seconds later it happened again, I fell asleep, my head resting on my arm.

Minutes later, I felt Brad's arms slid under me.  He lifted me up and carried me into the other room.  He set me in the recliner and covered me up.  He went back into the kitchen.

----Brad----

I got Alivia ready and grabbed their bag.  I wrote Katrina a note and took the kids to my parents house.  I got back home just as Katrina woke up.  "Hey baby."

"Hey, where are the kids?"

"Mom and dad's remember?"

"Oh, right."

"Grab your shoes baby."

"Where we going?"

"Today is a low stress mommy day.  Whatever you want to do."

"How long do we have?"

"All day.  Mom and dad are feeding the twins dinner.  They'll be back by 8 tonight."  he said.  "What do you want to do first?"

"Sleep a little longer."  I said.  "Will you hold me?"  I asked.

"Of course I will.  If I could I'd hold you for the rest of my life."  He said making me smile.  He held out his hand and I took it.  He helped me up and we cuddled on the couch.  I fell asleep with my forehead resting against his chest.  My hands resting between us on his stomach.  He had his arms wrapped around me.

I woke up two hours later, after having a terrible nightmare.  Brad wasn't beside me anymore.  I looked over my shoulder and saw a man in a mask.  He went to grab me and I woke up screaming.

Brad came running in.  I sobbed struggling against his hold.  "Trina, Trina, it's okay.  It's me.  It's okay."  He held me tight in his arms.  I sobbed into his shoulder.
