The Alpha's Kidnapped Mate

Thirteen

Veronica

Something is suffocating me. There is a darkness surrounding me and choking the life out of me. It feels like im in a void of some sort. Where am I? What is this void? I'm trapped in here. I can't seem to find a way out. And i can't breathe. The darkness continues to choke me. Literally. What is this? I try to call for Lysander. I know he was sleeping beside me. Now im not sure if he still is but i still try to call for him anyway. I'm trapped in this nightmare. Could he have gotten up and went back to his room without telling me? Its possible but what will I do? Who will save me? I keep trying to breathe, but I still can't breathe. And i could feel myself starting to lose consciousness. This is a nightmare right, yet it feels so real. The darkness doesn't relent and keeps choking me and choking me. Im going to die in this nightmare and no one will know what happened to me. They would just think i died in my sleep peacefully, which will not be true in the least. Is this what all the people who died in their sleep faced. Being choking to death by something? My limbs are weak now, im not even fighting anymore, and suddenly, I'm awake. I sit up, gasping and I immediately reach for Lysander. And a breath of relief escapes me when i find him still here by my side. I look at him, and he's sleeping so peacefully. He doesn't know that I almost died by being choked in my dream. What kind of predicament is this? Is it not safe for me to sleep anymore? Am I some kind of supernatural being now? Do I have powers? My life was much easier when I was living with my two best friends. No this kind of bullshit, no this kind of darkness, nor any kind of supernatural things that would attack me. At least my friends and I usually did the attacking.

I have to find a way to go back to my friends, or at least let them know that I'm alright, or fifty percent alright. Considering i have something choking me when i sleep. Not to mention the entity hunting me. Oh and the dark sourcerress. This situation is bad, and I have a feeling that things are going to get more dangerous. So as much as I hate it, I can't be next to my two best friends. They are my family, they are my everything. And with the way things are going, I won't be able to protect them. Damn, we won't even be able to protect each other. I know we have excellent fighting skills, we know what to do with knives, and we have some experience in fighting supernatural creatures, but this Eclipse ancient being seems to be on another level. So i wont put my friends in that kind of danger but I have to find a way to at least let Sienna or Monique know that I'm alright. For now I'm just going to stay with Lysander and his pack. Not that I was going to go anywhere. Lysander marked me, initiated the half-mate bond, and succeeded in making me stay by his side. He might have done it to save me but it was also a bit selfish on his part. He didn't want to let me go. And now I can't stop thinking about him. Literally. Every time when I'm not being bugged by these nightmares or the new tattoo, I'm thinking about how sexy he is, how hot he is, how I want him to jump my bones, or how he could just trap me against a wall and f**k me senseless. I can't believe I'm even thinking about it right now. Would anyone believe that I was even a virgin with the way these s*x thoughts keep running through my mind? What am I going to do? I'm so scared of what's coming and what im beginning to feel for Lysander. I can't shake the feeling that things will get more dangerous. Both in my personal and s*x life. And I can't shake the feeling that my life is going to change for the better or for the worst. And with all this half mate-bond, ancient beings hunting me and a dark sorceress also in the possibility of hunting me. Not to mention Noah. Yeah my life is at the tip point where one step could ruin or change everything. As for Noah i know that he won't give up. He will try to kidnap me again. He hates Lysander, but somehow he has developed this insane obsession with me. I could tell, with the days I spent with him that he is now obsessed with me. He wouldn't shut up about he wanted us to be mates. How he would build a new home for us. I shudder in revulsion just thinking about it. So yeah, he will definitely be coming back for me. He is a problem that I will have to take care of. But first things first, I have to wake up Lysander.

"Lysander, Lysander." I shake him awake. And damn, the man doesn't even blink or even shake or make some sort of sound that he even heard me. How deep does he sleep? I could actually get killed while I'm sleeping next to him and he won't even hear a thing.

"Lys, come on!" I shake him again and still nothing. Ha! So he wants to play that way. Two can play that game. I carefully move from my position and climb on top of him so that I'm straddling him. What to do? And can you even imagine this man? Even though I'm straddling him, I can feel his b***r underneath me. It's actually stiff, but he's sleeping like the dead. I need to wake him up. I want to tell him about the nightmare that I was having. And it's not actually that I can go back to sleep. So if I'm awake, he has to be awake too. Mates do everything together, right? It must be written down somewhere. He can at least keep me company. Maybe give me an orgasm. No, no, come on Onic, what are you thinking about? No s*x thoughts, no completing the bond and no orgasms. You have bigger issues. I scold myself.

I kiss him on his cheek and the man doesn't even stare. What is this? Doesn't he always go crazy saying, I'm driving mad with lust, his wolf won't let me go, something like that? Why won't he wake up? I will have to do more i guess. I continue to kiss him along his cheekbones, his nose, his cheek, his neck. This actually feels good, and I go for his ear and I bite a little on his earlobe and he groans, actually groans. The man is sleeping but he's actually groaning in pleasure. And I want him to wake up. So I bite him again on his left earlobe, but I bite a bit harder and he groans, jerking up awake. He sits up in position and immediately his arms are around my waist to keep me balanced, i guess. But the way he's holding me seems like he knew that I was straddling him. And he hasn't even opened his eyes yet.

"That's a good way to wake up." He says, burying his face into my neck.

"Well, you wouldn't wake up. So i had to do something." I whisper softly. Why won't he just kiss me senseless? I'm so dying to feel those lips of his on mine, but I can't exactly ask him to kiss me senseless. Or can i? No i cant, that would be too much, considering I spent days and days pranking him and his men and attempting to run away from him. If Noah hadn't kidnapped me, I probably would have succeeded. After all, he had also kidnapped me and he had been spitting all that bullshit about him being my mate.

"You could have shaken me awake." He retorts.

"I did shake you awake, but you were sleeping like the dead." I reply softly.

"Well, you can wake me up like this anytime, any day. You won't hear me complaining."

"It seems like you were complaining." I reply.

"No, I wasn't. I was just pointing out the obvious." He replies.

"Arrogant man." I whisper softly and he chuckles in response.

"Should we move?" He says in question-like.

"Maybe." I respond, but I don't make an attempt to move from where I'm sitting and he doesn't even make an attempt to let go of my waist. He actually holds me tighter. Seems like we're going to be stuck in this kind of position for a while. Both of us reluctant to let each other go. Why am i even being reluctant? Must be the effects of the half-mate bond.

"Lysander." I call him.

"Hmmm." He answers, his face still buried into my neck.

"The reason I wanted you to wake up is that I was having nightmare. A terrible nightmare. I couldn't go back to sleep." I say in shudder. A bit of fear still running through me. The nightmare i had was very unsettling.

"What was the nightmare about?" He asks.

"I was being suffocated by this darkness. I couldn't see. I couldn't breathe. It's like I was in a void." I explain.

"That's unsettling." He responds.

"Very, and it felt real too."I say.

"It's a good thing you're awake. Now I can keep you company. You don't want to go back to sleep, right?" He asks in concern.

"Yeah, no way am i going back to sleep anytime soon." I reply.

"So what do we do?" He asks.

"What time is it first?" I ask and he reaches for the clock on my bedside.

"Four in the morning." He responds. Seems like we slept for a few hours before the nightmare started to choke me to death. "Okay, let's do this. Since we have at least an hour or two before the sun rises. We will just keep each other company. And then maybe play a game or two. Come daylight, we will make a plan to re-enforce protection around the pack. I know a few good witches they will be happy to help with that." Lys continues and i nod in agreement.
