Chapter 4

I blink and look out the window again. Nothing. I see nothing other than darkness and my own reflection in the glass. I'm losing it. Legit, losing it.

I sink back down in the tub to enjoy my bath. The water is still hot and bubbles everywhere. I finish my bath and get out to dry off. I wrap my body in a new towel since the one I originally set out was soaked from earlier.

I go get the two little babies from Trenton and tell him thank you. I really did need that time to myself. I put my oldest to bed in her room and bring the two littles to our room. Trenton is out of the shower and laying down already. Out middle child runs and climbs up by him for her cup and snuggles. I lay down with the baby and start nursing her to sleep. Trenton and I say our good nights and we all drift back to sleep.

There he is again. His honey brown eyes looking at me.

"Will you let me explain this time? Or will you wake him again?" he says

I look at him confused and freaked out. How the fuck is this possible? I'm not crazy. I can't be. So I might as well see what strange madness he has to say.

"Why? I feel like I'm going crazy. I've been seeing you in my dreams. Your eyes changed colors when you chased me and then I swear I saw them outside my window tonight with a coyote howling." I say to him

He busts out laughing at me like I've grown a second head.

"I need to explain a lot of things to you. A lot of things on the plain are different but I need you to be open to what I am going to tell you. Again, it's a lot. And no, you're not crazy." He says

So, I'm not crazy. But this is very weird. All of it. Maybe I am crazy and my subconscious is making this up and my mind has conjured him saying this.

Stop. Come on Bex's. Just sit down and listen to him. Or your subconscious, whichever this is.

"Okay, I'm listening. But I do think I'm crazy and have officially lost my damn mind." I say and blink up at him.

He shakes his head and takes a seat beside me on the ground.

Apparently, we're always outside in my dreams.

"Okay, well, you're not crazy. You might want to be after I tell you everything. Sooo, I am a real person. But I am more than just a person. Have you ever heard of werewolves?" He says

I shake my head to signal yes.

I mean, who hasn't saw twilight or read a book on Wattpad. But, it's just fictional. It's not real.

He continues,

"Well, I am a werewolf. And this plain that you're on while awake, it's just one of many. Think of it like the other planets but it's many plains on this planet. It's how I'm able to visit you in your dreams. I did visit you earlier outside your home. But I did not realize you had a family already." He looks at me a bit and I can't tell if he's sad or mad. His eyes are flickering between red rust and honey brown.

"I don't know how much you know about werewolves but we all have been blessed with a mate. Our one true love. The one we'll go through hell and back for. The other part of us. A mate makes us complete." He says while looking at me.

I'm staring at him blank faces now because I know I have indeed lost it. Werewolves aren't real and if this was all real how did he get outside my house and how did Trenton not see him?

"You're not crazy. I can show you." He says while getting up leaving his mate conversation alone.

"Show me? Show me what?! That I'm nuts? El loco?!" I state just looking mortified.

What will my kids do with a nutcase for a mama?

I notice he's taking his clothes off..

"Wait, wait, wait! What are you fucking doing?? Why are you getting naked? This is my dream and you should not be getting naked!" I say/scream.

"I'm proving to you that I'm real and you're not crazy. And watch your language. You're a mother. The only reason you're in this dream is because I conjured it for you and I to speak without me getting shot at..." He says while taking his pants off.

He smirks when he sees Im watching him but I'm thinking.

I'm blinking and looking at him blank faced because he did not just me, a southern mama, to watch her language. And what the fuck does me being a mother have to do with me cussing??

I snap out of my thoughts and hear cracking. Bones breaking.

What the fuck?!

I see before me a large, very large wolf. It's black with a patch of white by his left eye. His eyes are red rust, of course. He looks like he's 7 foot tall. This beast is huge and scary. I'm I it's food? Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!!!

I do the only logical thing to do...

I scream and run.

I hear a growl and rumble behind me....
