Chapter 18

A nightmare woke me with a start.

Looking around, I wondered how I got into bed. Seeing Jason in the bed next to me, my question was answered. He must have carried me to bed. I do remember falling asleep watching a movie.

What was that nightmare about?

Everything was blurry around me. All I could hear were screams, but I couldn't tell where or whom they were coming from. There was darkness all around me; engulfing me.

It's over now.

I'm where I'm supposed to be.

Peering out the window, I see the sun isn't up yet. Glancing over to the alarm clock, it's only 3:45am; oh goddess. Laying back down, I cuddled up close to Jason. "You alright, baby?" he sleepily asked.

"Just a nightmare," I answered. "I'm okay now."

Wrapping his arms completely around me, I feel safe and warm. I'm a lucky wolf to have a man like him. Jason's soft snoring lulled me back to sleep, thankfully. We have a big day today.

~later that day~

Our house was quiet when we went downstairs. It was nice to not have all the people in the world on our house. Jason made us breakfast, but we were silent. I think we were both reveling in the idea that we would have some peace before our family, friends, and packs were here.

I was still quite perturbed about the night I had last night; bothered about who was screaming and why. It made me worry about Trevor, and what sort of trouble he was in. Not daring to tell Jason, I had a feeling he was worried about me too.

As we ate, we kept exchanging glances. Grabbing his plate, I placed them both in the sink. When my back was turned, I heard a slight growl come from him. It didn't even occur to me that my panties were showing; when I stood up, I pulled up my shirt, showing my backside.

With my back still turned, I giggled to myself. "See something you like?"

I didn't even have time to react before I was swooped off my feet. Jason threw me over his shoulder like a sack. I could sense his arousal which urged mine forward.

Throwing my gently on the bed, Jason slammed the door behind him with a mischievous look on his face. Sliding back on the bed,  I waited for him to pounce. He was drinking me in, before he stalked towards me.

Feeling brazen, I lifted myself to my knees, sliding my hands under his t-shirt, feeling his muscles. Dipping his head back, his eyes closed and his chest rumbled. Planting soft kisses on his abs made him growl louder. "You don't know what you do to me," he purred softly. Moving upward, I continued to lift his shirt, kissing, nibbling and sucking on him. Pausing, I looked up at him to see his eyes had shifted to black; Jackson.

Smirking, I lifted his shirt off. Standing on the bed, I ran my hands over his shoulders, feeling every single muscle under my fingertips. Pressing my forehead to his, I trembled slightly, feeling his calloused hands meet my skin. Raising my arms, Jackson lifted my shirt. Wrapping his arms around me, he cradled my body, laying me down gently on the bed. Raking his eyes hungrily over me, he dove immediately into a passionate kiss. My nails trailed down his back, as our tongues danced in each other's mouths.

Starting to move down, he sucked and nibbled on my mark, making my hips buck upwards. The sensation was so pleasurable; a loud moan escaped my lips. Kissing down my body, he extended his arm upward to keep my hips down. Tugging my panties, a loud growl left me. "Tell me what you want, baby," Jackson purred.

Tangling my fingers in his hair, I already felt breathless. "Please--"

"Tell me," he said, more forcefully.

"You! I-I want you."

Immediately, I felt his soft tongue exploring the folds of my apex. Grasping the sheets for dear life, my back was arching in pleasure. Darting his tongue in and out, I grabbed Jackson's hair tightly. Feeling my climax, a scream left me.

Before it came, Jackson climbed up, leaning on his hands to keep his weight off me. Burying his nose into my neck, I wrapped my leg around his hip. Feeling him at my entrance, I was ready to fully be with him, again.

Jackson looked me deeply in the eyes. Right as he penetrated me, his eyes shifted back to Jason. Gripping his shoulders, Jason slowly pumped into me, moaning into my ear, nibbling my earlobe. Switching positions, he was sitting up with me on top. His hands were pulling my hair, as I rocked back and forth on him. "Oh, fuck," Jason growled. "Tell me, baby."

"Jason!" I moaned, throwing my head back.

Holding me closer, we climaxed together, our moans filling the room.

Our breathing erratic, we came down from our highs. Putting my arms around his neck, I put my forehead against his shoulder. A small kiss feathered my shoulder. "I love you, Dakota."

"I love you, Jason."

Picking me up, we went right into the shower to start getting ready for the ceremony.

"Can we keep the ceremony short?" I asked, Jason.

"Eager, are we?"

"Oh, shut up," I teased, playfully smacking his chest.

A deep laugh came from him, and I couldn't help but join in. "We'll have a nice ceremony, and spend some time with the pack. Then, when everyone's gone, it's you and me, baby." His smirk made me shudder with delight.

The front door slammed. Damn it, is it starting already?

Finishing up, we both left the shower. Unfortunately, we would have to part ways before the ceremony. It was customary for the Alpha to announce the Luna, and for her to walk through the pack allowing members to show their respect.

Once everyone is set, and ready then Jason will make the announcement, and out  I come.

Deep breaths, kiddo. You can do this.

Trevor POV

My skin is burning from these damn restraints. I have to figure a way out of this damn cell.

Struggling against them, only make my skin sear more. Hissing in pain, I kick myself for being stupid. I should have stayed away from my sister, and now I'm in a serious predicament.

Goddamn, vampire. This was always his plan.

He knew I couldn't resist the pull to see Dakota. Who am I kidding? He knew every single time I went to see her. Fuck!

The door opening startles me. Dropping my fangs, I'm ready to fight.

Kyle.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I hiss.

Keys in hand, he's silent for a moment. "I'm here to save your ass. Now keep still."

Massaging my wrists, I went for the door with him in tow. "Where do you think you're going?"

He gave me a pleading look. "Please, let me come with you. I have to get away from this pack."

Sighing at him, I understood what he was saying. He hated being what he was, not that he was given a choice. He was always pushed around by the others. Frequently, I would have stand up for him. Not that he was weak by any means, but he didn't know how to utilize his power. Unlike me, he was just a vampire. Being outnumbered by wolves was hard. He had scars from being brutalized. Drake didn't care what happened to anyone in the pack; as long as he had power.

"Alright, come on. We're going to my sisters pack."

"How are we getting out of here?"

Peering out into the hall, I didn't see anyone or hear anything. "Are there guards outside?"

"Three or four," he answered.

Scoffing, that was a joke to me. Drake and Blaine have crossed the line, and nothing will stop me from getting to my sister before anything happens to her. "Let's go. We'll take them out...quietly." Nodding, he followed my lead outside.

Taking out the wolves, we covered them in leaves.

We took off for the Black Forest Pack.
