Xavier..

　　The Alpha,

　　Moon Edge Pack,

　　Washington.

　　This is to inform the Alpha of The Moon Edge Pack, Alpha Xavier that prisoner 571, Valerie Hudgens, who was retrieved from the Nexus Ripper Detention Facility on the 12th of January, 2022 be returned to the facility within the week.

　　Yours,

　　Nexus Services.

　　I gritted my teeth as I re-read the letter sent by Nexus Services. I squeezed the letter between my palms, crumpling it before handing it to Nathan.

　　“Valerie must not know of this, I don’t want her to worry,” I said and Nathan nodded

　　“What are we going to do about this?” Nathan asked.

　　“I don’t care who they are, I’m not giving them Valerie,” I said, resting my palms on my waist, pacing up and down my room. What was this challenge this time?

　　Why does Nexus Services want Valerie in particular. They had so many prisoners captured both legally and illegally so why did they want Valerie?

　　“We’ll write back to them.” I said and walked towards my reading table, grabbing a pen and a note, quickly writing down a reply to their message.

　　Valerie is my mate and according to the facts I was able to gather, she didn’t commit any crime and only attended that club for the first time.

　　I tore out the pages from the note and stood up from the chair, handing the paper to Nathan.

　　“Have it printed and delivered to Nexus Services immediately,” I said and Nathan nodded, taking the paper from me.

　　I shoved my fingers into my hair and sighed in frustration, sitting on my bed.

　　Nathan walked out of the room and I watched the door close as he stepped out.

　　I lay on the bed with my back flat and my face directly facing the ceiling.

　　Why does any of this have to keep happening to us. Why can’t the universe let me be with my mate peacefully.

　　I remained in that position for a while and didn’t know when I dozed off into sleep.

　　I winced in pain as a silver plated wing tore through my arm and I let howled loudly, leaping into the air and pulling the vampire by the wings. I smashed him to the ground and I sent my spears right through his heart.

　　I looked around me to see several dead bodies. Several dead werewolves lying on the earth that had become red and blood soaked. All I could here was the clashing of swords, snarls, howls and the cries of wounded soldiers.

　　I locked eyes with a vampire and he snarled at me, dashing towards me and slashing his silver plated wings at me. I roared and bent to the side, quickly using the chance to stun him with a punch before plucking out his hands with my bare hands.

　　The vampires outnumbered us and I watched my fellow wolfs get killed by the merciless savages. I looked to the right to see Lena fighting off two vampires and using her sword to counter their wings. We had long transformed back into our human form after so much forceful reverting and we were all completed naked.

　　My eyes darted to a vampire sneaking up behind her and I stabbed the two vampires beside me with my spears before rushing towards her to save her.

　　I ran with every speed in me and was so close to her when a vampire smashed me in the fave with his wings.

　　I went tumbling to the ground and I looked up to see the vampire send his wings through her heart.

　　“Lenaaaaaa!!!” I screamed. The next moment, I was no longer in that battlefield and I met myself in a open space.

　　I breathed in, trying to recover my breath. The smell of freshly cut grass drifted across the meadow with the clippings scattered over the turf. The branches of the giant oak tree swayed to and fro in the wind, shaking the leaves, so they fell like raindrops, their green color fading and replaced by patches of brown.

　　The weather seemed perfect as the sun was shining and no clouds were in sight. The meadow was spacious, with a collection of trees and bushes guarding the perimeter.

　　Before me was a gathering of thick white fogs and I couldn’t see into it or past it no matter how hard I tried. Suddenly I saw someone appear before me and I looked closer to see a lady standing before me. She looked like Lena and the same time looked like…..Valerie. She was smiling at me.

　　She stretched out her hands towards me and I stretched out my hands to receive hers. As I tried to grab her, she was being drawn backward and I kept moving closer towards her.

　　“Grab my hands,” she said and I ran forward to grab her hands but she was drawn backward even more. I tried again and she continued being drawn backward.

　　“Grab my hands?” She screamed and I ran forward, her screams dying out as she got sucked into the fog that became black.

　　My eyes suddenly shot open and my chest rose up and down as I panted heavily. I was sweating profusely and I looked around to see myself lying on my bed in my room. I stood up from the bed and groaned as I felt my body ache me. I had fallen asleep in that uncomfortable position.

　　I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 5: 34 am in the morning. I can’t believe I fell asleep since yesterday evening and I’m just waking up now.

　　I sighed in frustration as I realised I just had those nightmares again. Why does this same nightmare have to keep disturbing me?

　　Does this have something to do with my inability to touch Valerie without feeling the urge to hurt her?

　　I sighed and rested my palms on my waist, stretching my body that had been folded overnight properly. I took of my sweat soaked shirt and threw it in the laundry before sitting on my bed and resting my jaws on my both palms.

　　I sat up and glanced at the door as I heard an almost silent knock on the door. Who could that be at this hour?

　　I stood up from the bed and walked to my closet picking up a white t-shirt and quickly putting it on. The knock came again as low as it was before and I walked towards the door, unlocking it and opening it.

　　It was Nathan.

　　My eyebrows furrowed as I saw Nathan looking alarmed.

　　“What is it?” I asked, hoping that something bad had not happened in my mind.

　　“Nexus Soldiers,” Nathan said and I felt my heart skip.
