when the darkness fades

Chapter 14

Indy POV

I wake up shaking and shivering from the nightmare. I haven’t dreamed like that in what seems like forever, but this one shook me to my core. I remember more of the details then what I normally have. A buzzing noise broke me from my thoughts, I searched for my phone on my night stand, I gave a small smile as it was from Jax.

‘Hey, baby girl, I know its early but I had a strange feeling to check in with you? Hope you slept well and I will see you soon. Jax. XXX

I just gave a thumbs up emoji and sent it back. I wasn’t sure if I could type everything that had just happened and for him to understand it, so I think I will keep it to myself for now. I got up grab my outfit for the day and walked to the bathroom, did my whole routine of showering, brushing teeth and fixed my hair into a messy bun, when I was finished in the bathroom I walked out and got my shoes and put them on. Checked myself over in the mirror while I added my perfume once I was finished, I grabbed my bag and books and headed to the kitchen.

‘Morning Indy’ Grammy said, ‘Morning to you too’ I replied. ‘Would you like me to make you some breakfast’, ‘No thanks, Grammy, I am just going to have some toast and juice’ I replied again. Grammy nodded and went back to her paper. I had just finished buttering my toast when there was a knock on the door, I went to open it with a piece of my toast in hand.

‘Morning, Baby girl’ was what I was greeted with when I opened the door to see a smiling Jax, I responded back with ‘Hi there handsome’. He gave me a gorgeous smirk and replied back ‘I could get use to that’ which in turned cause me to blush and make his smirk even wider to showcase his dimples. My gosh did it just get warm in here, I am so glad he cannot read my mind but from the grin on his face I am being to think otherwise. We walked into the kitchen but Grammy had seemed to disappear from which in way I was grateful for she had already busted my telling my feeling out loud about Jax the other night and I didn’t want her repeating any of it just yet.

I grabbed my other piece of toast and drank some juice. ‘So’ Jax question ‘how where you after I left last night’ ‘well when I finally fell asleep’ I explained, followed by filling him in on my dream. At first, he did not say anything, and I could tell he was processing it. He finally came out with ‘so werewolf killed your mother’ I nodded in response, ‘Do you believe they are real, werewolves I mean?’ he questioned me. I was taken back at the question I never really thought about them being real but there must be something if I saw it happen. While I finished my last bit of juice and put my glass in the sink.

We walked to them car when I noticed Jax was waiting for something. “what is with the look’ I asked him. ‘I am waiting on your answer if you think werewolves are real or not, that is all’ was his reply. ‘Um I guess they could be; I mean I am pretty sure that is what I seen that night attacking my mother and trying to attack me, but I hit my head pretty hard and blacked out so I do not remember too much more’ I replied to his question. He gave me a weak smile and started driving to college.

The drive was fairly quite apart from Jax taping his fingers on them steering wheel, it felt like he was tying to find the right choice of word but nothing was coming to the surface. I finally broke the silence ‘if there were werewolves in the world, I wish they were all like you’ I added a small smile as I faced him. We had just turned into the college carpark, so he was facing me by this time. He returned my smile with a smile that seem like he was hiding a secret but I would let it slide for now.

‘If there were werewolves in the world, I wish they were all like you’ Indy said with a small smile as she faced me. I returned her smile with I have a secret smile; I am glad she didn’t catch on to it and ask questions. I will fill her in when the time is right and the time is definitely not right now. ‘what makes you say something like Indy?’ I enquire. You could she how she paused searching for the words ‘Well, for starters you are one of the most genuine guys I have meet, you always look out for others, you have a really big heart and such a beautiful soul’ she smiled.

I am pretty sure I blushed. I thanked her for the kind words, I wasn’t really sure what to do really. She grabbed my hand and asked if I had classes starting soon. ‘No, I will be heading to the library for a study session with Drake, before my first class’ I replied. She leant in kissed my cheek and asked me to say ‘hi’ to Drake for her, I nodded as I watched her grab her bag and exit my car.

I watched her walk away for my car towards the building, her words echoed in my head; her sweet scent swirled around me, I could still feel where she kissed my cheek. It was a tingling sensation I have never felt anything like this before I started getting what felt like a hot flash. Next thing I know my wolf is at the front of my head trying to jump out screaming the one word I have been waiting to hear ‘MATE’
