FLAMES OF REVENGE

Dreams

On arriving at the dining hall not only he but all the other wolves including Nora sat to eat together.

Taking a sit beside his mother before he could even pick up his utensil

"Have you found your mate" the strict voice of his other was heard as the whole room regain silence waiting for his response.

Not letting this opportunity slip from her hands Nora immediately interfered

"Umm… Mom you can't force brother Evan to get married so quickly by the way he still has me" she said naively.

Taras who felt annoyed at Nora's shameless act also interfered

"Luna… Master Evans is still young what's the rush" he said sincerely.

"Stop speaking up for him Taras you're the Omega of this pack so his marriage should be your utmost priority…"

"I've found my mate" Stopping his mother mid-sentence Esteven again silenced the hall as everyone stares at him with different emotions.

"What did you say, Evans, you've found her? his mother asked unsure of what she just heard earlier.

Estevan sits in his mother room counter, nervously tapping his fingers. His mother, Maria, an elegant and warm-hearted woman, stands nearby, Harry, his helpful and kind assistant, stands beside him for support.

"Mom, I found her. I found my mate" Esteven said

"Where? Did you find her? Oh, Estevan, that's wonderful news! Tell me everything!" Esteven who thought his mother won't have time for him was surprised at her sudden curiosity.

Estevan takes a deep breath, a mixture of happiness and excitement radiating from his eyes. Seeing this Maria fell even happier than her son who just found his love.

Well, it all started when I bumped into her at an alley downtown. It felt like fate, you know? We didn't talk as we just merely passed by , and the further I walked, the more I realized that I had to find her and make things right between us.

Maria puts the book she was reading aside, her face filled with joy and mockery. Do I look that young and naive that you can lie to me like that, the reason I didn't call you out earlier was so you wouldn't lose face, but now seeing you have no intention of telling me the truth you have to marry Nora I will announce your engagement in two weeks if you don't introduce your mate to me.

Estevan sits at his desk, frantically typing on his laptop. Papers are scattered across the bed, his face is twisted with frustration. Harry enters the room, concerned about his state of mind.

"Estevan, what's wrong? You seem really upset. Is everything okay?" she asked worriedly.

Estevan looks up from his laptop, his eyes burning with anger and disappointment.

No, Harry, everything is not okay. My mom insists on seeing my mate else I marry Nora.

Of all people Nora? Your mom is really going all out this time so what are you gonna do? She said dryly.

Harry approaches him slowly, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

I'm so sorry, Estevan. That sounds incredibly unfair and disheartening. Is there anything I can do to help?

Estevan sighs deeply, leaning back in the chair, his anger slowly subsiding.

I don't know, Harry. It's just frustrating. I've put my heart and soul into the growth of this pack I've never thought of getting married, only to have someone else take credit. It feels like all my efforts were in vain.

Harry sits beside Estevan, offering him a sympathetic smile.

I believe everything will be alright Harry said one last time before leaving the room and Esteven to his thoughts on what next to be done.

Chelsea on the other hand kept sleeping like nothing else conscience her in the world.

Chelsea tosses and turns in her bed, her face contorted with fear. Beads of sweat trickle down her forehead as she experiences a horrifying nightmare. As she struggles against her imaginary captors, Lora enters the room, sensing her distress

Chelsea wakes up in a panic, gasping for breath. She looks around, her eyes wide with terror.

After waking up from her long nap where she had the strangest dream that couldn't let her fall back asleep as she planned to sleep for the whole day.

She reminisced on that particular dream where she was kidnapped by werewolves and offered to the biggest wolf who was supposed to be their alpha.

"While did they take me?" Chelsea asked herself as fear was still evident in her panicked tone of voice.

Sometimes our dreams can reflect our fears and anxieties, even if they may seem unrealistic or far-fetched. It's possible that my recent experiences or subconscious thoughts about werewolves, perhaps from something I read or saw, influenced my dream.

Dreams can also be a way for our minds to process emotions and stress. Is there anything that has been worrying me or causing me anxiety lately? Chelsea asked herself.

She takes a moment to think, her brow furrowed with concern.

"Well, I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything lately, and there have been some changes happening in my personal life too. Maybe those things are seeping into my dreams and manifesting as werewolves kidnapping" she thought.

deciding to play with the other orphans she came out of her room only to come face to face with Lora who was just passing by explain her idea "that sounds like a great idea, Chelsea! It's always good to spend time with others and enjoy some fresh air. Playing with the other orphans will not only be fun but also give you a chance to make new friends. Is there a specific game or activity you have in mind?"

Chelsea's eyes light up with excitement as she starts thinking about the possibilities.

"I was thinking of playing tag or maybe even kicking a ball around. We have a small field outside the orphanage, and it's really fun when we all play together. Do you think that's a good idea, Lora" Chelsea stated enthusiastically.

"Absolutely, Chelsea! Tag and playing with a ball both sound like fantastic choices. They are fun and great for getting some exercise as well. I'm sure the other orphans would love to play those games with you too. It's a wonderful way to bond and enjoy some friendly competition. I can even help you come up with some strategies for tag if you'd like!" Lora said encouraging Chelsea who replied with a "thank you".
