Chapter 226: BACK AGAIN

Chapter 226 BACK AGAIN

Even though her eyes had been open for quite some time now, she still couldn’t see a thing. The darkness that surrounded her made it hard for her to even see in front of her. The whole place was pitch black, reminding her of the color mate's fur.

His fur was just as dark, if not darker but this wasn’t the time to think about him right?

Why?

Because she was stuck! Stuck in a problem of her own.

By stuck, she literally meant stuck. Her back was glued on the bed beneath her and the funny thing was that she couldn’t move at all— no matter how hard she tried.

Haven stared at the ceiling above her for what felt like forever. Not that she could see it anyway, but it made her feel better.

What this place was, and how she got here, Haven had no idea. It didn’t matter how many times she had tugged and pulled at her arms, they just won't budge. Eventually, even she got tired and stop.

What was this place?

And why couldn’t she move at all?

Something just wasn’t right.

The place did feel familiar to Haven though and for some weird reason, it felt like she’s been here before — that too in this same position.

She was sure she has. But why couldn’t she remember?

The moment that thought crossed her mind, something moved besides her. Without warning, a cold hand slithered it’s way around Haven’s waist making her gasp with alarm.

“ Mine.” A familiar voice whispered besides her ears. His voice was low, and his breath cold making her shiver subconsciously. Haven swallowed feeling the cold chills run down her spine.

That voice… she could recognize that voice anywhere.

The sudden realization made panic slowly seeped in through her being. She struggled to swallow the lump which formed in her throat as she remembered everything. Now she knew the reason this place felt familiar. It was because she’s been here, not once, not twice.

It was the same nightmare which had haunted her in the past.

Haven hadn’t had one in such a long time. It made her believe that the nightmare had finally disappeared, and along with it, the one man who she met in it every time was gone for good but she was wrong.

She was back in here again, and so was he.

Alarmed, she tried calling for her wolf.

‘ K– Kira? Kira? Kira where are you?!” She called out yet she got no reply.

‘ Kira?!’ Haven yelled again quietly and still there was nothing. It was then she remembered Kira never seemed to be around whenever she was in this place.

“ Yes, intruders aren’t allowed in here.” His voice reached her ears yet again. The space besides her caved in as he inched closer. His hands left her waist and started to draw circles on her arm now. “ Your wolf isn’t an exception.”

Haven’s face scrunched up in disgust. Another man touching her didn’t settle well with her. “ Get your hands off of me.”

The man didn’t seem to have heard her though. Or maybe he did and pretended not too.

“ I’ve missed you.” He whispered, this time nudging her ear gently. The feel of his hot breath on her skin disgusted her even more.

“ What do you think you are doing?!” She screeched. “ Let go of me!”

The hands on her arm stopped paused for a while but Haven felt them resume soon after. Now Haven desperately wished she was able to move. She’d have taught this man a lesson or two.

“ Who are you?” She asked ignoring the urge to punch him. “ Who are you and what do you keep doing to Kira? Why can’t I ever get through to her in this place? Where the fuck am? And why can’t I fucking move?!”

“ So many questions..” The man chuckled lightly. “ Which one do you want me to answer first?” His hands were still drawing circles on her skin.

“ All.” Came Haven’s blunt reply. Her eyes glared at him in the darkness, even if she wasn’t sure he could see her. She wanted answers to all of her questions.

“ Feisty as always. Nothing about you has changed.” She heard him say.

As always? Change? What does he mean by nothing about her has changed? Did he know her?

“ Yes and you’re still the same, even after all this time. I’m glad.” He replied.

His answer took Haven by surprise. He always seemed to know what she was thinking, as if he could read her mind.

Everything was quiet except for the sound of Haven’s breathing. Her heart raced as different thoughts ran through her mind.

“ How do you keep doing that? How do you know what I’m thinking?” She finally asked. “ This isn’t the first time you’ve read my mind, who are you?”

“ I want an answer!” She half yelled when he didn’t reply. “ Say something!”

“ No need to get all worked up,” His hands were back at her waist again. “ I’ll answer all of your questions.”

Drawing closer to her, he nudged her ears again before kissing it startling the woman beneath him. She gasped and he could feel her struggle but he wasn’t prepared to let go. At least not anymore. It was time he reclaimed what was his.

“ Wh– What do you think you’re doing?” Haven stuttered feeling the cold lips on her skin. Every kiss made her shiver subconsciously and Haven hated it. What on earth was happening to her?

This wasn’t real, she knew. It was just a nightmare . She must be unconscious in the real world but she still couldn’t wrap her head around why she kept coming back to this place.

“ Because this is where you belong,” He answered. “ With me.”

There was something about the way he said it that made Haven swallow. His voice was filled with an emotion she couldn’t fathom. There was longing and so was a bit of possessiveness.

Who on earth was this man? Haven badly wanted to know but she didn’t dare ask. In fact, deep down, she dreaded knowing the answer.

“ Don’t worry, you’ll get the answers to all of your question very soon.” His hands cupped her face. “ Just be patient my love and take good care of yourself because only then will we be able to meet again.” His voice sounded distant as he spoke. It got Haven wondering if he was leaving.

“ Wait!” She tried yelling after him but white light suddenly flooded her vision completely making her shut her eyes. By the time Haven’s eyes fluttered open again, she found herself in a completely different place.

She closed her eyes and opened them once more trying to clear the blurriness away. It took a while but now, Haven could see the old roof above her. She was in a small and she wasn’t alone.

Another woman was her with her. She hovered around her and judging by the way she moved, humming a song to herself, she probably didn’t know Haven was awake.

The first thing Haven noticed about her was her blue hair. It looked so peculiar, Haven hadn’t seen anyone with that color of hair before. Her long blue hair ran down her back and the sides of her face in waves, blocking her face completely from Haven’s view.

The woman's attention was fixed on something else, she hadn’t realize Haven had regained consciousness and Haven intended to keep it that way. She had no idea where she was or who this woman was so all she could do right now was wait. Haven closed her eyes slightly as she waited, wondering what the woman was up to.

Something poked her knees causing her to hiss in pain.

“ You’re finally awake?” Avena’s eyes briefly glanced at Haven before she returned to what she was doing. “ I was beginning to worry you wouldn’t.”

Haven still couldn’t see her face due to the long hair covering it. She could only hear speak. Her eyes quickly darted around the small well kept room.

“ Don’t try to move else it’ll hurt a lot more.” Avena warned.

Her words made Haven’s eyes return to her and a small frown formed on her face. Haven’s frown only deepened when she saw the Avena twirl a small bottle in her hands. She wondered what she was about to do.

There wasn’

t much time for Haven to wonder though, because the next second, a loud screech echoed throughout the entire room.
