redith was in the woods. It was dark, cold and quiet. An icy shiver ran along her spine when she felt like soone was watching her even though she thought she was alone.
She heard a tree branch broken suddenly near her. She then heard the growl of a wolf and she whirled to the left startled. She watched in horror as a massive creature ran towards her.
Icy tendrils robbed her of action, freezing her in place. The creature was bigger than she could ever imagined. Although it was wolf it was no ordinary wolf. The power it radiates as it's four white paws stood firm to the ground was scary.
It stepped forward slowly; it's enormous, round, electric blue eyes keeping track of her every move.
redith scread, but she knew no one could hear her.
The wolf moved closer to her, redith closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to hold in a sob. Surprisingly, it darted t's tongue to lick the juncture were her left shoulder t her neck.
The animal pulled back and stared at her, it's eyes never leaving her face.
"Finally, I found you." redith froze when she heard the voice. She looked around but no one was there.
"I'm right in front of you and I'm connecting to you through the bond."
redith paused and turned to look at the white animal in front of her.
"No-No. You can't be talking to . I'm not crazy. "
The voice chuckled in amusent, "Of course, you're not crazy, princess."
She should have been terrified but surprisingly, she didn't feel any threat from the animal in front of her.
"What-who are you?"
"I am you." The voice whispered.
"What?"
"You're . I am you. We are one."
redith shook her head, "This makes no sense. You're an animal-a wolf or whatever creature you're."
"Sorry for my manners princess but I'm Irish, your wolf."
redith furrowed her brows, "My wolf? What are you talking about?"
"Listen, I know you have questions but I don't have much ti. I have to hide from you all these years in order to protect you. I only appeared before you to warn you."
"Hide? Where? Warn
from what?"
"They have found about you. You're now a threat to them because of how powerful you're. They will be coming for you. Be careful and don't trust anyone."
"Who would be coming for ?" redith asked, fear evident in her voice.
"I'm always with you, I would protect you but rember trust no one."
She whispered and her figure began to dissipate.
e back."
"You're more powerful than you think. Rember you're the true ruler."
The voice says one more, but it was nowhere to be seen.
"They're coming for you."

"Nowait!" redith scread and woke up. Her chest was raising and falling. Her body was trembling, and damp with sweat. She looked around and saw that she was still in bed with Atlas. She let out a sigh of relief.
"redith, are you okay?" Strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind and her body imdiately relaxed at the comfort.
"Nightmare?" Atlas asked softly.
redith lowered her head and nodded, "Y-Yeah." She was still shaken from the dream. None of it made any sense. Wolf? Ruler? Who would be coming for her?
"Co here."
She leaned back against the pillow and turned her body to face him, moving closer to his body. She wanted to feel his touch in order to know she was still here with him.
Atlas pulled her against his bare chest and buried his face into her hair.
"It's just a dream don't worry." He whispered with a hushed concern.
redith was silent as she tried to calm herself down. The dream had felt so real it was crazy.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He murmured softly.
redith shook her head. She didn't even understand it to talk about it.
"Are you sure?"
She exhaled and nodded, "I-It's just so weird, I don't even understand it to explain it to you."
Silence stretched between them.
"Okay."
He said and held her against him with one hand while the other slowly trailed across her arms to soothe her.
Neither of them spoke for a while. He simple held her and continued to traced his fingers across her hand as if to tell her he was there for her.
redith didn't want to ruin their first morning after they slept together. She placed the dream at the back of her mind.
After a while, he finally spoke, "What would you have for breakfast?" He asked suddenly, his voice slicing through the silence like a whip.
"You?" A smile crept across her lips as she replied. She pulled away to look at him and he grinned.
"I was thinking the sa thing." He said placing a kiss on her lips.
redith pulled away and blushed, "I haven't brushed my teeth!"
Atlas prevented her from rolling away from him. He pulled her back against her chest and nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck.
"I don't care." He whispered.
redith felt him smile against her shoulder.
"I know you are still sore, so I would spare you today. But after you get well, I would always take my breakfast don't forget."
redith flushed and tried to pull away from the cage of his arms.
"Mmmmnot until you have agreed."
"Let go of , you rogue!" redith laughed as he loosened his arms around her.
"But you seed to love this rogue very much last night."
He grinned at her as she untangled herself from him.
"Of course, I didn't! Especially when his performance was so poor." redith got down from the bed smiling.
"If my performance was poor and you were begging
like that, I wonder what would happen if I actually improved."
redith picked the pillow and threw it at him, "Well, guess you have to improve to find out."'
She chuckled and darted into the bathroom.
The sound of his boisterous laughter followed her as she shut the door of the bathroom.
