Anaiah's POV
I exhaled as Erickson finished telling me his story, something was unwinding about it and I saw him in a different light, he was a victim and his hate for the Lavistas was fueled by his father and nurtured every day. He was a child and hating them became a habit.
However, something about his story didn't add up like his mate, Savannah, why didn't they find her body? Did she die?
" Are you sure she's dead?" He glanced at me and nodded
"I felt the bond break between us," Erickson was still hurting with the loss of his mate, after all, we can't completely let go of the ones we have.
"I don't dream about her anymore, at least until I met you, that's why I wanted you badly, I would have done anything to keep you," He says,
"This seer does she see into the future?" I ask.
"Yes, she warned my father not to go against Mike Lavista, look what happened and now she warned me and I decide to listen, I don't want to end up like my father, that is not the legacy I want to leave,"
We stayed quiet for a while, my hands and feet were getting cold suddenly. It was about to rain. Noticing this, Alpha Erickson removed the coat he was wearing and put it over my shoulders, I wrapped it tighter to me and he smiled,
"We should take shelter," He helped me up and we went to Samantha's tent. I might have looked really cold because she immediately rushed to the cooker to put on hot water for tea. I sat next to my brother on the huge white sofa.
"Ana, are you alright?"
"Just a little cold," My brother eyed Alpha Erickson maliciously but he stood up, helping Sammy with the tea.
We sat inside the warm tent, sipping on our tea.
"I like your tent, it's girly," I told Sammy, it had a huge white fur carpet, a large white sofa across the bed, and a table. In another section was a mini kitchen.
"Thanks, I was trying to make it look like the room I left at home,"
I smiled, going to lie on the bed. Samantha joined me and we stayed silent while the men drank liquor and played chess. They were good.
At some point, I drifted to sleep as we waited for the rain to stop.
I was in an unknown forest, looking for my mate
"Hello, there," A sultry voice spoke. My heart skipped and I turned around, my eyes met beautiful dark chocolate ones, yet, I couldn't see the woman's face, only her eyes, and thin cherry lips.
I panicked, looking around frantically for someone
"It's a dream, no one is coming, in here I control everything," I tried to wake myself up from this weird dream but I couldn't. I tried to run but my legs were stuck between roots.
"Wh- who are you?" I asked sternly.
"Agatha, that's my name... I think," My breath shudders as the dark shadow approaches. Trees were growing around her and roses and thorns appeared on branches, it was mesmerizing to watch.
"What are you?" I ask.
"I'm an earth witch, Silly," She giggled. I tried to take a good look at her face but I couldn't see anything. " I used magic to trap you, I've been trying to see you for a while but you and your wolf are strong, my magic wasn't getting through,"
