Cinder bolted upright with a scream lodged in her throat, thrashing wildly. Strong arms pinned her hands to a soft surface and a hard, warm body pressed over top of her. Panic screamed through her body, but it took only a heartbeat before she realized that it was Adam who covered her body with his own. As the roar of blood rushing in her ears subsided, she could hear him speaking softly and urgently.

“Calm down, sweetheart.”

She inhaled and the dark, woodsy scent of him filled her. Twisting her wrists, she linked her fingers with his and pressed her forehead to his collarbone.

“What happened?”

“I think you were having a nightmare,” he said, rolling off her body and twisting in the process until their positions were reversed.

She looked down at him. Moonlight streamed through the curtains, allowing her to see him clearly. Dark hair tousled from sleep, worry lines around his eyes and mouth. Letting her head fall farther down, she could see he was shirtless and a shift of her bare legs between his told her he was only wearing underwear. She pressed a kiss to the center of his chest.

He growled softly. “Sweetheart.”

She extracted her hands from his and bracketed his chest, levering herself over him with straight arms.

“You’re gorgeous.”

He chuckled. “Are you sure you’re awake?”

She lowered herself until she was hovering over one tiny brown nipple. Securing it between her teeth, she bit down gently and he groaned. She licked it, soothing the small pain, and straightened her arms again.

“I’m sure I’m awake.”

He cupped her cheeks and said, “You’re beautiful. I’m a lucky wolf to have you in my life.”

She settled herself on his chest, laying her head on her forearms. “I don’t know what I was dreaming about. Did I wake the whole house up?”

“Probably, but it doesn’t matter. I felt your terror before you actually screamed, so I was already on my way.”

He hadn’t been surprised earlier when she asked for a room of her own. She knew it was probably against every wolfy protocol to have the alphas sleeping in separate rooms, but they weren’t official mates yet and she still wanted some time to come to terms with what she’d learned.

“Thank you for coming for me.”

“I will always come for you, sweetheart.”

They lay in silence for a while, and she thought she might drift off to sleep again, but every time she shut her eyes, she was reminded of the dream she’d had of her father killing Adam and another male attacking her.

“Will you stay with me for the rest of the night?”

He moved so quickly she could only gasp at being suddenly in his arms as he strode from the room and down the hall to his own bedroom. He laid her gently on his bed and settled next to her without a word. She snuggled against him, wondering if she should tell him about her dream or just let it go. It might not be a vision.
