Chapter Six

Nina's POV

The last thing I remember before everything went black was standing against a wall in Alpha Dark's office when I started to fall towards the ground and him calling out my name as he caught me before I hit the floor.

*Dream Start*

Surrounded by darkness for what seems like forever I finally awake back in my bed at home and I can smell my mothers cooking from the kitchen. I jump out of bed and bound down the stairs and run into the kitchen but when I get there there's no one there. I run throughout the house calling for my mother and my father or anyone but I don't find a trace of anyone. I head outside and run into the woods and that's when everything around me changes to the night that man killed my pack. Again I watch as he kills my father again and then had his and my mothers bodies dragged into the house before lighting it on fire. I stand there staring at everything crying and calling out for someone to help for anyone to come but no one hears me as there is no one around to help. Everything around me fades away except for the man who did all of this as he turns around and walks over to me and grips my chin hard.

"This was all your fault, had you been here they wouldn't have had to die" he says to me

Tears are running down my face as I shake my head at him before I crumple to the ground sobbing as my heart aches with the pain of losing everything and everyone and soon I'm left in the darkness alone. I succumb to the blackness thinking that this is what I deserve when I hear someone's voice calling out to me to wake up, as I suddenly feel the sparks where he's touching me and that's when I realize it's my mate calling out for me to wake up.

*Dream Ends*

I wake with a start and look around when I am suddenly enveloped in Alpha Dark's big strong arms as he holds me to him as I sob my heart out in his chest. He holds me tight to him as he rubs my back and coos sweet nothings in my ear until I am able to calm down and breath normally. I pull away from him sniffling and not wanting to talk about the dream yet I where I am and he tells me we are in his room as he asks me about the dream again. I know he won't give up so I give in on one condition of food first as my stomach makes itself known loudly making me blush a deep shade of red in embarrassment as my mate grabs my hand and leads me down to the kitchen to make us some dinner.

I sit on a bar stool at the island and watch as he cooks admiring the way his muscles ripple and contract with every single movement he makes. We don't say much to each other while he cooks and when he's done we eat in silence not knowing what to do or say to one another. When we are done eating he takes our dishes and puts them in the dishwasher and then comes and sits beside me and turns me to look at him as he grabs my hands in his.

"Everything was delicious, you really know your way around the kitchen" I compliment him on the very delicious meal he made making him smile.

"I'm glad you liked it. Now a promise is a promise now what was your dream about baby?" He asks me gently trying not to upset me

I stare at our intertwined fingers for a little bit before sighing and finally answering his question. "I dreamed that I was back at home but when I left my room I couldn't find anyone. Then it changed to that night when I found everyone dead and watched that man kill my father again and then I watched them drag their bodies into the house before they doused it in gas and then lighting it on fire. Once it was on fire everything but me and that man disappeared and he walked over to me and gripped my chin hard and said that if it wasn't for me they wouldn't have had to die saying that all of their deaths were my fault before I fell back into the darkness and then you woke me up." I s ay to him in a hushed tone as tears stain my cheeks again.

"Baby girl that was not your fault and it will never ever be your fault. If you would've been there then he would've captured you and tortured you and probably would have still killed everyone. So no it's not your fault and I don't want you to ever think that ever." He says looking me in the eyes with so much conviction, worry, promise and love.

"I don't deserve you. I don't deserve to be happy after everything" I say sadly

"You deserve everything and more. You deserve to be happy and to feel safe and I promise you that you will feel that way one day" He says as his hands come up and cup my cheeks forcing me to look at him. Not being able to say anything I just nod my head as he picks me up bridal style and carries me back upstairs and into his room as he sits me on the bed.

"Where is my bag I had with me?" I ask

"It's right there on the end of the bed and the bathroom is right here if you wanna shower and change before bed" he says as he shows me to the bathroom. I shower and change into a tank top and some booty short pj's before I exit the bathroom and climb into his big comfy bed as I curl up into a ball. The next thing I know I feel the bed dip as Alpha Dark climbs in behind me and wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me into him. I feel so safe and secure in his arms that I relax instantly as I feel my eyelids droop from exhausting day that I have endured.

"Goodnight Nina" he whispers into my ear before he plants a soft kiss to my temple and nuzzles into my neck.

"Goodnight" I reply back before cuddling into him more before falling into a nice deep nightmareless sleep.
