My night was plagued with nightmares and I found it difficult to get any rest. Every time I would close my eyes, I could see Nico’s icy blue orbs staring back at me. Or Alpha Xavier’s sickly steel color, looking smug as he stared at me in the darkness.
I woke up at one point, covered in a thick layer of sweat after dreaming about being Alpha Xavier’s slave. I felt so lost and desperate, chained up in a room that he had hidden behind his bookshelves. The dream felt vividly realistic and the pain in my chest lingered long after the dream faded away.
The sun was rising slowly, allowing light to creep into the windows as it climbed above the horizon.
Sam and Nico were wrapped in each other’s arms, sleeping peacefully. Sometime in the night, I moved to the recliner, as not to wake them
