Valerie’s POV
I hid under the blanket for a few minutes before Lizzie spoke to .
"No one knows what you dread about. So why are you giving yourself away by hiding?"
"You don’t understand. I feel like I just suffered social death. How could I admit that I saw that man in my dream? It’s so embarrassing." I replied, feeling angry at myself.
"I don’t think they found it embarrassing. They probably just think you guys have a special connection since you can even dream about each other before eting." Lizzie tried to convince .
"But what special connection could there be for to dream about soone I have never t?" I asked Lizzie.
I knew that she wouldn’t ntion sothing about a special connection out of thin air.
She must have her reasons for that.
"Don’t ask too many questions for now. Just get along well with him. You will find out in the future." Lizzie started being mysterious again.
I can’t do anything to her when she behaves like that. So, I just stopped asking.
Anyway, when the ti cos, I will find out.
For now, I needed to go out and be a good host. It was the first ti I was hosting people at ho. So I needed to be more welcoming.
Thinking of this, I pushed the blanket back and took out my phone.
I ordered a bunch of groceries so that I could cook a presentable al for my guests before rising up from the bed.
I was about to leave the bedroom when a knock ca from the door.
"Val, are you okay?" It was Shadow’s voice.
I instantly felt my face heat up again, but then I rembered Lizzie’s words.
’It’s not like anyone knows what you dread about.’
Yes, that was right. No one knew what kind of dream I had, so why should I feel embarrassed?
After convincing myself, I took a deep breath and went to open the door.
"Hey Shadow. Sorry about that. I was just shocked. Let’s go down." I composed myself and acted like a host.
"Okay." Shadow didn’t dwell on what I had said before and led downstairs.
I was surprised to find the man from my dream sitting on the sofa in my living room looking like he owned the place.
His presence was so overwhelming and for so reason, just looking at him made my heart race in a way that even Mike never did.
"Valerie, get a grip on yourself. You have a mate." I had to remind myself before I forced myself to look away.
I took a deep breath before walking towards him.
"Hello, sorry about earlier. I am Valerie Jude. Welco to my humble ho." I introduced myself and stretched out my hand for a handshake.
However, I had not anticipated what happened next.
The mont our hands touched, a jolt of electricity passed through our hands and my body instantly went weak.
I almost fell to the ground if the man hadn’t shot up from the sofa and held up.
Unfortunately for , the mont he wrapped his arm around to stop from falling, my body just beca like a pile of water.
Slippery and useless.
I couldn’t stand up straight anymore.
Luckily, the man was a gentleman and he seed to understand my situation. He placed on the sofa slowly and carefully as if he was handling a treasure.
He treated with more care and respect than Mike has ever done.
"Are you okay?" He asked with furrowed brows.
I could see the concern in his eyes and it was definitely not fake.
He was really worried about .
"I am fine. Don’t worry." I didn’t know how to explain what just happened. So, I could only pretend it didn’t happen and not ntion it.
Lucky for , the man also didn’t dig into it and just took the sofa opposite from mine, keeping a respectful distance.
This helped to recover faster even though just the sight of him made my heart race.
After I regained my strength, I got up and went to prepare tea for the guests.
"Please have so tea first. I will cook lunch soon." I said as I served tea to the two n now sitting in my living room.
"Thank you." The man from my dream said as he took the tea cup from my hand.
Our hands brushed against each other and I almost let go of the cup from the spark of electricity that ran through again.
Fortunately, the man moved his hand away quickly and I managed to keep my dignity.
I couldn’t understand what was going on with .
Even when Mike touched before and kissed , I have never felt this way.
So, what was happening between and that man?
The man looked too composed and I couldn’t tell if he was also affected by my touch the sa way he did to .
And I couldn’t just ask about it openly.
So, I could only keep guessing.
"Don’t worry about it too much." Lizzie suddenly said to .
"How could I not worry? My body is behaving very strangely. I am worried that sothing is wrong with ." I complained.
Lizzie sotis acted so mysterious I couldn’t understand her.
She was my wolf, but she had more secrets than a graveyard.
I just hoped that one day she would tell all of them.
"Nothing is wrong with you. What is happening now is perfectly normal. You will understand one day. Just, don’t ask questions now." Lizzie said to and I had to drop the issue.
I wasn’t gonna get anything out of her, anyway.
While I spaced out talking to Lizzie, I could feel the stranger’s eyes on . However, he made sure not to stare for too long. Probably afraid that he would make uncomfortable and I appreciated that.
Just then, the door bell rang and I knew my groceries had arrived.
