Ryan

“Good morning, lazy bones. You fell asleep fast last night,” I said.

I unscrewed my thermos top and handed him some coffee. He blinked his eyes wildly as if he had just woken up from a terrible nightmare. His forehead looked glazed with sweat.

“What the fuck? Where am I? Who are you?” He was freaking out.

I immediately jumped down to his level and grabbed him. “Hey, what’s going on?” I pet him, soothingly. There was something very different about my omega. Something was terribly wrong.

His eyes refocused and his breathing slowed down as soon as he realized he was safe.

“Shit. What happened last night?” he asked.

“We cuddled for a little bit, and then fell asleep,” I said. His face was confused and tired. Did he forget or something? Tristan couldn’t comprehend what I was saying. I was starting to get worried.

“Oh. Right,” Tristan whispered.

I held him in my arms. I just wanted to kiss him, but he looked whiter than a ghost. “What did you dream about last night? Where has the alpha I love run off to?”

“I don’t want to frighten you,” he said. His eyes were starting to water. A single tear fell from his cheek.

“Don’t worry about that now. I’d rather you be honest,” I said.

He gulped and tried to breathe calmly, but it wasn’t working. Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak again. “I swear it all happened, Ryan. Holger walked up to the tent. He told us he heard things. I got out of the tent to look, but the whole valley was pitch black. A strange light came at me. It took control of me. It claimed to be my shadow self.”

“Wait. Back up a second.” This was a little hard to understand. “Shadow self? What’s that mean?”

“I don’t have a clue,” he said, trembling in my arms.

“Alpha, it’s going to be alright. I’m here. We’ll figure this out together. It was just a nightmare, after all.”

“But what if it wasn’t,” he said. “What if it was real? He said if I gave into him, I could meet my shadow master. The darkness took over me, Ryan. The thing turned into a snake. He entered my throat. Oh, goddess. The whole thing was horrible. I couldn’t breathe!”

My mate collapsed into my arms, trembling against me. Whatever he experienced was traumatizing. I held him tightly, rocking him back and forth. I didn’t know what to do or say. This was all so new to me.

“I’m here, Tristan. I will protect you,” I whispered, kissing his face.

He sniffed loudly and wiped his tears away. “I know you will. And I know that we have to keep going too. I’m just worried. You know? I’m scared that I somehow already gave into my shadow. What if my soul is tainted?”

I grabbed his face and held it steady so that he couldn’t look away from me again. “It’s not. Do you hear me? Nothing can taint who you are. You are golden. You will always be a golden light.
