Chapter 186 CHAPTER 186: LIKE A WEREWOLF

BELLA’S POV

These days, it was hard to tell dreams apart from reality.

Mainly because I spent a lot of time sleeping, hiding from the harsh realities of the real world.

Besides, my dreams lately…. They weren’t so awful.

This particular one was bathed in a soft, golden glow—the kind of dream that wraps around you like a warm blanket in winter.

I was curled up on a chaise lounge, staring at the sunset as it cast orange, pink, and gold hues on the surface of the lake in the middle of a picturesque forest.

A pair of arms tightened around me, and I snuggled into a warm, firm chest—Nico’s.

His steady heartbeat pounded in my ears as we watched the sun descend in the sky, and an odd feeling bloomed in my chest—contentment. Happiness.

“It’s so beautiful,” I murmured, enraptured with the way the light danced on the surface of the lake like a pool of lava.

Nico kissed my hair. “It’s nothing compared to you.”
