Alpha's Rejected Healer Mate

Nightmares

Third person POV:

(2 years later)

“P..please.” A whimper left Nora’s dried lips as she withered in pain. Her body is covered in sweat and her eyes are closed shut.

“Please, D.. Don't take…..” a sob wrecked her tiny and fragile body as shadows moved along the night. Her heart felt like it was squeezing tightly and if she didn't move and stop them then she would lose everything.

“Nora!” Someone called her name, a low but worried tone filled her ears but she was not able to focus on the voice.

“I..I…am sorry, p…pleasee…” a wail ripped through her lips as her hands were reaching for something.

“Nora! Please wake up.” The voice sounded stronger and closer this time and with a gasp and jolt Nora woke up, gasping for air as her lungs constricted with no air.

She feels so suffocated in her own body that she just wants to fly away somewhere where she can breathe properly.

“Breathe,Nora.” The same voice encouraged her but it's so hard for her to fill her lungs with the air to not choke.

“Count with me,1,2,3,...” Nora started counting with the voice slowly as her lungs started accepting the air and like a greedy woman she sucked all the air into her and fell back on the now soaked sheets.

“Are you alright?” Nora’s eyes darted towards the woman who is her best friend since the day she stepped into this pack. She nodded her head as a small smile curved her lips but her eyes were still vacant and cold with the nightmare.

Nightmares for Nora are a normal occurrence and she feels embarrassed and guilty for always disturbing others' sleep.

“ I once again ruined your sleep.” It's not a question but a statement filled with embarrassment.

“Nora! Don't, you'll never bother us with your nightmares. We are all worried about you.” Katie said, sitting beside Nora on the bed and taking her hand in hers.

“I am sorry, Katie.” Nora whispered, not meeting her eyes.

“What did my baby girl do?” A deep voice asked from the room’s entrance as Katie giggled and Nora groaned in fake disgust at the nickname.

“Don't start with your cheesy nicknames, Carter.” Nora said, as the Gamma of the pack and Katie’s mate walked into the room only in his jeans and his tattoos visible on his upper body. His blue eyes stuck on his mate with love and desire.

“ I am a cheese man, Nora. I can't help it.” He winked at his mate making her blush at his joke whereas Nora feels like her eyes are going to be stuck inside her head with her eyes rolling at his lame jokes and shameless flirting with his mate.

Nora just hates everything about love, mates and bonds and her stomach rolls whenever she sees other couples flirt with each other. She has lost trust in those things and swears to never date a man.

“Why are you troubling our Luna,Carter?” A new voice chimes in, making Nora roll her eyes once again. They just don't know how to not open their mouths and utter bullshit.

“Not again, Victor! How many times did I tell you not to call me that!” Nora scolded, beta of the pack standing tall at the door with a mischievous expression but trying to make it innocent.

“What? Luna? But you are our Luna, Luna.” Victor’s mouth curved into a teasing smirk but a low warning growl made him lose that smirk and everyone in the room straightened up. The air in the room changed into seriousness as the man stepped inside the room.

His aura made everyone nervous and their heads automatically bowed in respect and submission.

“Ugh! Why is there no privacy in this goddamn house!” Nora grumbled as she tried to cover up her camisole cladded torso with the duvet.

“What are you all doing in here!” Their Alpha asked, everyone's eyes are looking at the ground in the form of submission but the Alpha's eyes are on the female who was trying to cover herself up. His eyes heated up as he took her face and her bare arms.

There is an undeniable attraction between them which they both want to deny and ignore.

“Alpha Zade! Luna, I mean, Nora was having a nightmare so we came to check up on her.” Victor said, Carter punched him in his stomach for the slip of his tongue. Nora being Luna was an inside joke which they use to tease Nora because their Grumpy and tough Alpha becomes tongue tied in front of her even though he swears that he hates her guts and they fight like an old married couple.

“She never listens to anyone when they advise her to see a shrink.” Zade grumbled, his eyes boring into her head as she turned her head towards the window,likely rolling her eyes at this grumpy Alpha who makes her feel unwanted things.

“Get out.” Nora gritted out, she is already tired from that stupid dream or nightmare whatever they call and she doesn't want anyone's attention. Being a gifted Healer she doesn't know how to be normal and not have these haunting dreams. Those are haunting dreams because it was the reality!

She shook her head, not wanting to jump into that rabbit hole and ruin her mood even more.

She can hear footsteps moving towards the door but she can still feel him not moving.

“What's your problem, Alpha!” She asked, her tone dipped with sarcasm and she desperately prayed that whatever attraction she was feeling at that moment she’s having was not shown in her voice which wavered slightly as her eyes greedily took in his naked torso rippling with muscles.

His raven hair falling on his forehead and covering his empty gray eyes gives him a very sexy look like he is posing for a calendar. His gray sweatpants hang low on his hips and Nora can see his c**k’s imprint near his crotch area. They are werewolves and nudity is common among themselves when shifting into their wolves but Nora always averted her eyes when it came to Zade.

Zade is a very handsome and sexy package with gray eyes, midnight hair, 6 feet something height which towers over her and his shoulders are broad and he is covered in tattoos giving him a very bad Alpha vibes and he is a very powerful and dangerous Alpha among the other packs.

He has a nose ring in his left nostril and his jaw is so sharp with full lips and the most deadliest thing in him are his dimples which make every she-wolf lose their panties.

“You are my problem, Sunshine.” His gruff voice made Nora’s lady bits tingle. She doesn't understand why he has this effect on her when clearly she hates his arrogance and playboy aura.

“Maybe because he saved you that day!” Nora’s wolf chimed in, she is so in love with him and his wolf in her words. Nora can't deny the fact that if not for Zade she would have died that day when she ran away from her old pack.
