Chapter forty seven

As soon as Lucian left with the dirty dishes I went back to sleep. I have been sleeping a lot lately but my body really needs it. I've been really stressed about the whole Megan's death. I don't expect to find her body anymore. I can ask Lucian if he can check it out if her body was still there.

**********

“Raina” Lucian shook me. I groaned opening my eyes. I rubbed the sleep off my eyes staring at him.

“I’m not hungry,” I said. He smiled.

“It’s not lunchtime yet” She informed me. This caused me to frown. Why did he disturb my rest then?

“Why are you here Lucian?” I asked.

“I’m sorry Raina_” He started.

“What for?”

“I have to be somewhere for three days. I'll be back before you know it” He promised.

“You promised me lunch together” I reminded him.

“I know. I will be here for lunch like I promised before I leave” He explained.

“How important is this?” I asked. I just didn't want him to leave. Not now.

“Very important Raina. Three days and I'll be back. It's a promise” He said smiling at me. I didn't smile but nodded either way. I couldn't overdo it. I can't force him to stay when he clearly needed to leave.

“Thank you. See you at lunch” He left. Argh.

I went to Ri’s room. I knocked

“It is opened” She announced. I pushed the door and walked inside her room.

“I take it Lucian has told you” She laughed.

“Not funny. Why is he leaving all of a sudden?” I asked her.

“Alpha business. He has a deal he has to close” She explained to me.

“What kind of deal?”

“My brother never tells me that. He doesn't want me worrying” She said using her fingers as a quote.

“And you are fine with not knowing what is going on?” I asked shocked. How? I hate being in the dark.

“I mean yes. What else I'm I supposed to do?” She asked. I sighed.

“Ok then. I think I should get some rest before it's lunchtime” I said when I realized I was the only one concerned and if even interested in whatever it might be keeping Lucian away for three days. I am not fine with it but I know he has to go so I let it go and went to bed again! Gosh, I think something is wrong with me.

***********

I saw Lucian and Jack talking to the vampire I saw that day, the one who wanted Lucy. The same one who killed Megan. The same one I vowed to kill. Why are they here? I wanted to move to get closer but I just entered the wall what?. Was all this a dream? I tried to pinch myself but I could not even hold myself. Instead of panicking, I looked at my surroundings and looked at them. I saw the vampire snap his fingers behind his back.

“Run!” I tried to scream but nothing. I could not talk. Fuck! He's going to hurt them. Lucian just shook hands with him when the room was suddenly filled with young ladies walking hand in hand chanting a particular spell I could not pick on. With their hands tied together now surrounding Lucian and Jack who suddenly fell on the knees coughing out blood.

I can not move,

I can not talk,

I can not do anything,

Why then I'm I here?

“Lucian” I tried to call again but these girls continued until there was no life in them.

He's dead! Lucian is dead.

*******

I woke up from my weird dream sweating. I looked around and found myself alone. Lucian walked in almost immediately. Why did I have a dream that he was dead? I was probably just overthinking this travel of a thing. I looked up at him.

“Hey”

“It’s time for lunch. I don't have much time left” He informed me. I stood up from my bed still shaken from my dream. We are lunch silently and when I finished my bowl of food Lucian kissed Ri, his mum and me before leaving.

I was scared to go to bed but I dead. My night was very short. I woke up really early so I joined the maids to work this morning. We cleaned and cooked together till it was later in the morning when other pack members woke up. I tried to keep myself busy throughout the whole day because I could not stop thinking about Lucian.

When it was time for lunch I remembered Ri told me she would be at her parent's house so I decided to go. On my way, I had this lingering feeling that something was wrong. My wolf was sad? Why? I knocked and Ri came to open the door.

“Hey. What's up?” She asked.

“I think something is wrong with Lucian,” I said.

“Something is wrong,” Her mum said walking up to us.

“Good afternoon Mrs Randlofr”

“How are you doing today Raina?” Didn't she just hear me? But I did not want to be rude so I replied.

“I have a feeling something is wrong with Lucian” I repeated. Before she could talk the door was slammed opened revealing Jack soaked in blood. He had blood in his mouth and everywhere.

“The alpha is dead” Jack announced.

I had a dream!

I should have said something

Does that mean there are more meanings to my dreams?

I fell to the ground and screamed out in pain.

Lucian is dead and he died because of me.

***********

“Shit! Raina. It was just a dream. I am here” Lucian said. I was soaking wet in tears and sweat. Did I just have a dream in a dream? Everything was a dream all along. This does not make any sense. I suddenly noticed he was dressed in a blue shirt.

“Why are you dressed?” I screamed at him.

“That’s why I'm here. An emergency came up so I have to leave. I'll be back in three days” He informed me.

“No, no, no, no, no. You won't leave me, Lucian” I cried panicking. He's going to die. He's going to die. I repeated in my head. I can't lose him. Not when I've barely had him.

“What is going on?. Why are you so shaken? I'll be back” He promised

“No, please. Don't leave me” I begged. I held his shirt and cried in his chest. He patted my back slowly.

“Ok. Will that make you feel better?” He asked. I nodded quickly.

“Yes,” I answered. He removed his shoes and got to bed with me. He removed his shirt. He cleaned my tears with his shirt and promised he was not going to leave me. I didn't sleep. I just let myself calm down with the assurance that he was still here and he was not leaving.
