I went home that day brooding about Clara’s absence. Even though I know she’s been mated with another Alpha at Central that’s why she must have been away, I still can't seem to get my mind off her.
What if something bad happens to her?
I bit my lower lip for a second before I continued cooking. After I was done assembling our lunch, I heard a low groan from the bedroom followed by a prolonged moan in pain several times. Out of concern, I checked on Alaric in his bedroom and I saw him running out of air in his sleep. He was having a nightmare so I strode toward him and decided to wake him up.
“Alaric, wake up...” I tried to shake him off and he responded after a few frantic taps on his arms.
Alaric was gasping for air when he opened his eyes before he realized that he was only dreaming.
