Lucian visited Denise the next morning right after Cabello left to tell her about his dream, he was so bothered to tell her about it that he had to get it off his chest.
“So what did you want to talk about so early in the morning?” She asked giving him a cup of tea as they sat opposite each other.
“I don’t know how I am going to convince you but I have had this for the longest of time so hear me out” He said and she kept quiet listening to him.
“It happened right before I met you, I used to have dreams about you even before I met you” he paused and she raised a brow.
“So you are telling me that I used to appear in your dreams?”
She asked surprised by it, she had thought their first meeting was the same for both of them and now she was baffled that he had seen her before then.
“Yes, I wasn’t sure if you were my mate when I began having those dreams” he said again and paused.
“Go ahead” she said eager to know what his dream of her has been about.
“They weren’t good dreams but nightmares, I watched you get killed by your uncle Cabello several times in several methods. After I met you the dreams stopped and I thought there was nothing to worry about since he wasn’t with you but after you left our pack, the dreams resurfaced again and I had one last night” he narrated then watched her as she had a confused look on her face.
“So your dreams of me has always been about my uncle killing me, what sort of rubbish is that?” She flared up angrily and he had expected that from her.
“Is this your way of trying to separate me from my family so that you can have me back in your life.
I had never expected you would stoop so low as to utter such nonsense from your mouth” she added standing up from her seat.
“Listen to me Denise, if it weren’t important then I won’t bother to tell you but each time in that dream, you called out to me to save you but before I could get to you you had been killed by him” he stated explaining to her so she could calm down.
“That is some twisted bullshit, my Uncle would never do that to me. He loves me and I am the only family he has” she blurted out to him how close she and Cabello were and why he would never do such a thing to her.
“There is no doubt that he loves you but I don’t think he has accepted you for who you are. Remember he never wanted you to be a wolf, I am thinking that might be the reason why he tried to kill you each time” he said moving closer to her.
“Don’t you dare come near me you bastard, I don’t know what is going on in your head but I am not going to follow you back to your pack and leave my only family behind. So if you could do me a favour, Kindly leave my house” she ordered him stretching her hands towards the door. Denise wouldn’t dare believe what Lucian had said because she thought it was a scheme by him to gain her back claiming that she would be killed by Cabello. She had lived with him for years after her parents died and he had never tried to harm her in any way.
“Denise please listen to me, I am not telling you this so that I can take you with me, I just want you to be careful with Cabello, I cannot lose you” he said but she pushed him away much to his surprise.
“Get the fuck out” she yelled at him.
“Denise please listen to me” he pleaded with her but she kept pushing him towards the door. He could see that she was angry with him and he was trying to calm her down but she won’t listen to him.
“I might be able to accept a few things but this, this is completely overboard Lucian, you have outdone yourself with such preposterous lies” she stated.
“But I am not lying, I am telling you the truth” he replied.
“Leave, she pushed him out the door until he was down on the porch.
“It’s okay if you don’t believe me but think about it and if you ever need to talk then I am in the next pack by your left, the first house after the border” he directed her but she slammed the door on his face.
“Now what are you going to do?” His wolf asked, he had warned him not tell her because he knew this was what would happen.
“I just need to cool my head, how about a sprint in the woods?” He suggested and his wolf was all in. The sound of bone cracking was heard and soon his wolf leaped in the air running through the woods in a speed of light.
Cabello on the other hand was just returning from a meeting when he saw a man by the porch, he couldn’t figure out his face because of the distance between them but he was able to see him turn into his wolf.
“A wolf” he muttered to himself, he couldn’t pinpoint exactly who it was as he got closer to the house he couldn’t pick his scent, who ever that person was had masked his scent so well that he couldn’t figure out who it was.
A knock came on the door and Denise thought it was Lucian who had persisted in bothering her, she looked so ready to slap him in the face when she saw Cabello.
“You are back” she said.
“Who just visited you?” He asked her and she was surprised. She wondered if Cabello had seen Lucian and was asking to know the truth from her.
“Does he know?” She asked herself taking a while to process her answer, if he knew that it was Lucian then he wouldn’t be asking who came to visit but would rather be mad that Lucian came by because he hated him.
“No one visited, did you see someone?” She asked back and he knitted his brows.
What if the person didn’t get into the house and only came to spy and then went back.
“Are you sure you saw no one?” He asked her again to be clarified.
“Yes, I just had my breakfast now and I didn’t hear a knock on the door” she said wishing he would listen to her and let it slide.
“Maybe it was one of your friends who came to visit you” she covered up easily.
“I have no friends” he replied.
“So who do you go out to meet each day?” She questioned him swiftly changing the subject of discussion to him.
“Just a few people to discuss a few important things, can I have my breakfast now?” He requested and she could tell he was hiding something with how fast he responded.
“Why you don’t you have a shower and I will bring your breakfast to your room. You reek of cinnamon anyways” she said to him as he walked into his room.
Denise sighed in relief that he hadn’t noticed anything otherwise he would be completely furious that Lucian had caught up to them and even had the guts to visit too.
“He better not come back with that bullshit” she said to herself concerning what Lucian had told her. She would never believe that Cabello was capable of hurting her in any way much less killing her too.
