CHAPTER 7

LILY'S POV

The moment I shifted shape, I jumped on Liam, scratched him and ran off. I was very fast and swift with it. Liam's guards wanted to come after me but I heard Liam stopping them as I dashed off without looking back.

My paws were hurting like hell but I refused to stop. I just wanted to be as far as I could from everyone and everything. I delved deeper into the forest without stopping. As much as I felt tired but my wolf wasn't tired a bit as it continued to run. Maybe it was because she too was tired of the humiliation we have faced and experienced both from Liam and my family.

My white beautiful fur got scratched a few times from branches but I still wouldn't stop until I was far away.

Finally, I got to a place and stopped as my paws were tired from running and my claws itched to rest. I wanted to shift back into my human form but realized I already tore my clothes while shifting into my wolf and now I have nothing to put on. I needed shelter and I felt hungry and tasty again and had no idea how I would get them.

I saw a beautiful house on the other side, it looked like a castle. Very beautiful and magnificent. I was tempted to enter there and take shelter but I wondered if I would be accepted since I don't know anyone there.

I contemplated it for a while. I would be taking a huge risk getting in there not knowing what could be in there. It could be dangerous but I wondered which was more dangerous. Staying out with no hope of food or shelter or getting shelter in a house I know nothing about the inhabitants.

Dusk was fast approaching and I needed to think fast. I could be attacked by rogues if I remained out there. I looked behind me to be sure I wasn't followed, I couldn't help but wonder if I was still close to my pack. I didn't bother checking how far I had ran as all I wanted was to be away from everyone including my heartless mate.

I didn't even want to think about Helen who betrayed me even as my best friend. She dared say bad things about me to Liam just to snatch my mate. She already had her mate but abandoned him for mine. How could she be that thoughtless and heartless? I thought she was my friend but obviously she has proven to be my enemy instead.

I was sad to lose my best friend but I consoled myself with the fact that I got to know early enough that she wasn't all she claimed to be. Good thing I got a pound of my flesh even if it was just a little scratch. I wondered if she had woken up. I couldn't be sure but I knew Liam wouldn't have allowed me to run off if she wasn't alive.

Once again I took a long stare at the huge mansion in front and without any more thoughts, I made the decision to go take refuge there.

I was confused on whether to shift shape or not. I had no clothes to cover my nakedness if I decided to shift shape and at the same time I couldn't walk into there with my wolf look. They could mistake me for a rogue that came to disturb their home.

I figured out the best option out of the two was to shift into human even if it would leave me naked.

I changed into my human self and became so tired after that. I decided to rest a little while before going into the mansion but the tiredness that was in me overwhelmed me and before I knew it, I fell asleep having only some dried leaves covering me.

---

The next moment, I saw myself in a strange but yet a beautiful place.

The cool breeze blew my skin softly and caressed my face with care. I was enjoying the whole feeling and staring into space when I saw him. The most gracious and handsome looking guy I have ever met, oh well apart from my mate but man, I couldn't agree less than the guy is totally hot! He was shirtless and his hair curled backwards flew around from the impact of the wind. He had his sunglasses fixed on top of his ear and I bet he was above 6'4 feet if not more.

I was enchanted and for that moment I decided to push my goddamn mate aside and admire a hot dude.

But I was so surprised and wondered how I hadn't seen him stand there all these while I was standing there.

He seems to be engrossed in his thoughts as he enjoyed the view too. I was tempted to go talk to him but each time I tried I see the images of Liam blocking my head.

"Aarrrg! I yelled out in anger. He had rejected me yet I couldn't stop thinking about him. What exactly was wrong with me. I could just move on with this hot looking guy over there but he wouldn't stop bugging my head with his images.

I kept gawking at the guy and surprisingly, he didn't turn towards my side as he focused completely on his thoughts.

I was tired of waiting for him to look my way and so I decided to make him look.

I tried clearing my throat, stomping my feet, making silly sounds with my mouth still yet he didn't flinch.

I was getting frustrated and couldn't take it anymore.

Best thing to do, meet him there. Yes, go talk to him, I heard my head telling me.

I took a deep breath as I slowly tilted my head towards him but he was gone!

I was surprised, no, shocked! How in the world did he disappear. He was just here a while ago and now he is gone within a flash.

"Hi,"

I froze on the spot as I heard a deep yet sweet voice said to me from behind.

I tried to turn but I felt my vision getting blurry and a voice speaking in my head, like I was in some imaginary world or something.

"Hello,"are you okay?"a voice was saying in my head.

No matter how hard I tried to shut the voice off it came back, and louder too.

"Hello?Hey?..."

A voice behind me and a louder one in my head with my head banging and vision getting blurry. I lost control over myself the next moment.

I opened my eyes to reality and it dawned on me that I was actually dreaming. But hey, that was a cute dream and whoever woke me up from it deserves some good beating.

I squinted my eyes and my heart nearly jumped out of my skin.

"You,"I stuttered at the image before me as I tried to lift myself up.

"Hey, relax, you look hurt. Just relax, I already called my nurse to come check you.

I touched my head still not sure of what was happening. How am I seeing the image of the same guy I dreamt about right in front of me. Same clothes, same sunglasses, same hair and still cute.

Now I'm done with the stupid prank my body was playing on me. I pinched myself very hard to be sure I had fully woken up from whatever sleep I was having and back to reality because I wouldn't take it lightly if I discovered this hot looking guy only exists in my dream.

"Are you okay?"He asked again, pushing the blanket over me.

"Oh my god!"I cringed in fear as I remembered I was naked before falling asleep and now I have a blanket over me. It could only mean one thing. He has seen my nakedness.

"No way! Shit!"I cried softly, very embarrassed.

"Errm, Danny,"he said with a smile.

"Huh,"I was confused.

"My name is Danny,"he said again, clearly this time.

"Oh, owkay,"I replied shyly, shifting my gaze from him and putting a hand strongly over the blanket, not willing to take chances to let the wind blow them up or away.

I was beating myself up in my head. I felt so embarrassed imagining him gawking at my nakedness. Assssh! More reasons I hated to shift shape.

"Don't worry it's okay, my sister actually found you."

My eyes went wide open once I heard that. It was like he read my thoughts and that is even more embarrassing.

Gosh, I felt like crying. I wonder if he is also a werewolf or human or even vampire!

Once the word vampire came into my head, I sprung up with wide opened eyes.

"What? Are you alright?"He was surprised at my actions.

"Errrm,.nothing,"I murmured lying on my back. I couldn't afford to blow my cover. I need to watch him and know what he really is before I will reveal my identity to him.
