My Visions His Reality

It was as if the bond knew what I meant to do because as soon as I drove out of the pack lands, the unease in my body became a dull throb in my chest. It wasnt gut–wrenching painful but was still very distracting.

All I wanted to do then was tum the car around and run into Harper’s arms. I felt a voice inside me that begged me to go back to Harper

As the distance between me and home increased, I became homesick. As homesick as I ever could be. The images of my parent and Cory flashed through my mind, making me want to give up the idea of leaving altogether. I knew it was the bond playing tricks on my mind but that didn’t make it any easier.

Flashes and memories with my family, friends, and even Harper revolved in my mind, making me clench the steering wheel in frustration. I was helpless to this supernatural force and I found it futile to resist it. The bond was playing games on my mind and I was completely prone to it

Being human, whatever effects, I felt because of the straining of the bond were, to a very large extent, muted. My thoughts drifted to Harper and how much pain he would be feeling at the exact moment because I selfishly decided that I needed time to get away. As the thought crossed my mind. I had to park my car on the side of the road. I took deep breaths to overcome the feeling of claustrophobia 1 felt while sitting in the car. I opened the car door and fell on the gravel road..

Tears streamed down my cheeks at the feeling of being torn. It hurt to drive away I didn’t want to go back. I couldn’t imagine how pathetic I felt and wondered how I must have looked to other people. A teenage girl, sitting on all fours, gasping for breath, with tears streaming down her checks. What would they think when they found out that the only reason, I was this miserable was because I couldn’t get away from my ex–boyfriend!

1 hastily reached for my purse in the passenger seat and took out my phone. I fumbled a lot with it and clumsily dialed Sebastian’s number. I couldn’t make out the phone screen because of the tears in my eyes. I put the phone to my ear and waited with bated breath as the call went through.

“Hello, Zara‘ Is everything alright?” Sebastian’s voice came through and a huge wave of homesickness washed over me. I never thought I could ever feel homesick because of him, but here I was

Anb broke out of my throat. “I can’t do this. I want to come back.”

“Zara” He took a deep breath. “Where are you?”

1 told him where I was and I was surprised at the amount of distance I had covered. I had been traveling for four hours and hadn’t made any progress. I had left the pack lands just half an hour ago.

“Get up from the road and sit in the car. I’m coming to get you.”

A wave of happiness washed over me. Sebastian was coming to get me, which meant I would go back home and into Harper’s arms. The thought made me calm enough to get up from the road and get back in the car.

I tentatively put my hands on the steering wheel and clenched it so tightly that my knuckles turned white. I gulped and took a deep breath to calm myself down. I hastily wiped away tears from my cheeks. I wasn’t ever this weak and I didn’t plan on being this way now.

“My beta dropped me here” He answered the question I was going to ask. My eyes zeroed on his face and took in his worried face. He was genuinely worried about me. I could see that and the realization made me burst into tears. The homesickness finally got to me and solis wracked

Faintly, I registered the sound of a car door closing and the car coming to life. I only hoped we were going the right away.

1 just didn’t know what the right way was

I woke up to a pounding headache and groaned as 1 sat up on the bed. I felt dizzy for a few seconds and frowned when my eyes focused enough to look at my surroundings.

I was in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room. I remembered vaguely the events of last night and blushed at how pathetic I was being.

I couldn’t feel any pain or unease in me so Sebastian must have driven us back into the pack lands. I wasn’t s through my hair to undo the knots when the door opened and Sebastian walked in.

I was disappointed when I saw it was him. I had hoped Harper would be sitting beside me when he realized that I had come back, even if I had only ever gone for a few hours. But I wasn’t going to be ungrateful to a man who had given up on his alpha duties just to come and get me.

“Where’s Harper?” I asked and realized that my voice came out deep and husky. How many hours was I asleep?!

Sebastian stopped mid–stride and frowned at my question. “We aren’t in the pack lands, Zara”

“What?” My hand subconsciously went to my chest where I absentmindedly rubbed it. Sebastian must have understood what I was thinking because he slowly walked over to the bed (I was only now realizing that I was in some hotel room) and sat beside me,

“You don’t feel the pain and the uneasiness of being away, I nodded. I wondered if the bond had finally snapped under the strain and had finally disappeared. Not being connected by the bond to Harper brought an unimaginable amount of pain in my head and 1 cradled it immediately in my

My gaze moved from his face to my wrist where a dainty silver bracelet rested. “Silver slows down a werewolf, so I thought it would ease the reactions the bond to a werewolf was causing you. It was just a hunch but it’s good that I was right

I gently fingered the bracelet with my other hand and looked at him. Thank you.”

He smiled and nodded at me. He pulled out two silver rings from the back pocket of his jeans and handed them to me

The realization of being close to my sister again hit me full force and I bit back on a groan. I clenched the rings in my hands, determined to not leave before I fulfilled what I came here to do.
