ELIJAH'S POV:-

　　I opened my eyes as I heard someone moan. It was a similar moan. I looked down at my own body. My crotch was standing hard under the pyjamas I was wearing. I didn't want to make her more uncomfortable than she already was. So instead of sleeping naked, as I always did, I wore the PJs I bought a long time ago. I was surprised that they fit me well even after about half a decade. I looked through the space between the cushion wall as I heard the same moan again. I found Artemis lying on her side in the foetal position. Her arms were wrapped around her. She was shivering in the cold. The comforter she had was lying on the ground.

　　Artemis was moaning because she was cold. I hopped off of the bed and walked towards her. I grabbed the comforter from the ground and covered her with the comforter. Then I grabbed my own comforter. I added another comforter to warm her up. I sat down on the edge of the bed. I leaned in and pecked her forehead gently. I had no idea what I was doing and why I was doing all that. But it seemed like I was doing the right thing. My wolf and I were confused. But we were still doing what we never did. I never cared about any woman in my life. And yet here I was, almost ready to submit to this tiny thing in my bed. Why, I was not sure.

　　As my mips touched her forehead, she stopped shivering. As if some sort of warmth spread through her body. The frown on her face disappeared and a beautiful smile took its place. She looked gorgeous with that beautiful smile on her face. Shaking my head, I stood up and walked towards the bathroom. The last thing I wanted was her to see my erection the very next morning. She barely knew anything about me. And I had a hunch that she didn't trust me. I couldn't blame her. She went through hell just because I didn't want to own my mistake. I even started to doubt if it was even a mistake. And I was not surprised when my wolf agreed with my thoughts.

　　Dean and I have been the best. Since the beginning, there was not a single battle we might have failed in any way. We were the best. We made our reputation that way. I was the most feared Alpha in Brooklyn. And I became this good by keeping myself away from women. Not that I never had sex or something. But I never kept any connections. It had always been just one night stand. No strings attached after that. I was the same man. It was the very first time I didn't touch the woman who was almost naked in my bed. It was the first time I cared. It was the first time I was thinking about making it last forever.

　　I was sitting on the toilet seat, rubbing my erection. My eyes were closed. All I could see in the back of my mind was Artemis lying naked in front of me. I had no idea why I had that dream. It didn't even feel like a dream. It felt so real. My PJs were the evidence. I had no idea how many times I came while I was dreaming about being with her. And my crotch was still erect as I woke up. Once I took care of my erection, I did my business and hopped into the shower. Although I could have just bathed with cold water. I had a feeling that the cold water was not going to do anything to helpy situation from now on.

　　I could swear that I felt the sparks all over my body. I felt her touch. I felt her kisses. I feel her soft body in my rough hands. I felt every single fucking moment as real in that dream. "I think the same. It is something else. It almost feels as if she has possessed us. Like we are under her spell. If I wouldn't have smelled her wolf, I would have sworn that she was an enchantress, trying to control us." Dean spoke as he also heard my confused thoughts. It was not anything new for us to share the same dreams. As we were part of each other. But it was indeed weird if he was also seduced because of that dream.

　　"I think we need to get out and talk to Gregory and Lauren. I bet they might have something to explain our situation to us. Because it just doesn't make any sense. It's not like we are teenagers. And I am definitely not a virgin. Then why am I feeling this way?" I thought in response. Dean agreed with me. It was the only thing we could think of. It was still early in the morning. And by the look on her face, I knew she was going to sleep till late morning. It was a good time to have a chat with the enchanter and enchantress of my pack. Then I was planning to buy a few things for her. So she would feel like she was home.

　　My threats might have forced her to stay. But to make it permanent, I had to do everything I could. She had to feel like she was home. So she would never think about leaving. I had no idea why I was suddenly so possessive about a woman. But that's how I felt. Once I was done bathing, I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist. I went into the closet and wore my clothes. I brushed my hair and stepped out of the closet. I walked towards the bed and sat on the edge. I was staring at her face and thinking about everything I started feeling inside myself.
