CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: I had made it home some time ago and was trying to focus on homework. I needed to get things done, and maybe focusing all my thoughts on anything else would help free my mind. It helped sometimes, losing myself in other thoughts. Like when I forgot the name of some person who was in that one show that I just couldn’t remember the name of. I could just spend some time watching TV or declutter my closet, and the answer from earlier would just hit me. I was counting on that today. My phone buzzed and I saw a notification for a new email, but didn’t recognize the sender. I opened it. This isn’t the end of this. I’m not giving you up I dropped my phone on the floor and stood straight up. In a panic I looked around, expecting to see Vance watching me from a window, but didn’t see anything. I walked to the windows and door anyway, making sure everything was locked. I closed blinds more, and peaked out searching for anything odd. But I didn’t see anything obvious.
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 44: Waking Nightmare
CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR: Nightmare. Another. I knew it somewhere in my mind while it was happening - that it wasn’t real. But it didn’t help. All around me were warm, moist hands touching me all over, pulling at me as I tried to run. But it was pitch black and everywhere I ran to there were more arms. I was screaming but nothing would come out of my throat. There was no relief. I continued to run, desperate for anything, anything other than darkness and arms, and warm clammy flesh. I stumbled. Face first, and more hands reached out grabbing me. I pushed off from something and tried to stand but could only flip myself over. On my back, I tried swatting and kicking arms away. I hit one and it let go, but another hand grabbed my ankle and before I knew it I was trapped. Totally trapped in this darkness, covered arms and hands. And as more and more clamored on top of me I saw a pair of eyes in the distance, silver. And as the arms covered my vision, I thought about how sad I was that I had
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 45: The Dark Hall
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE I froze. Glancing around I could see the backs of Lucy and Elizabeth’s heads up ahead. But no one else was around. I stepped back, but his hand caught my wrist. The same warm, clammy skin grabbing hold of me took me right back to my nightmare and I tried to push against him, push him away. All I ended up doing was giving him my other hand which he held on his chest. He leaned forward. “Walk with me,” he hissed inches from my face. My skin crawled. I tried to push, to yell. But my body wouldn’t cooperate and my mouth wouldn’t even open. It was stronger than yesterday. I was weaker than yesterday. I tried to stay firmly where I was, I didn’t want to walk with him anywhere! “Hurry, Rachel,” he whispered, “Don’t make me lose my patience.” His eyes glowed, a red ring appearing. It flickered. He tugged me along and my body went with him, despite my every atom trying to pull away. Where were we going? Wouldn’t someone come walking around here and see him? Wh
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 46: Relief? Maybe Not
CHAPTER FORTY-SIX: My ankle ached and I sat down on the ground giving it a rest. After some minutes of watching staff and firefighters crawl over the school in search of the source, I remembered my phone. I looked to see four back-to-back missed calls, from Jake? Why would he call me in the middle of the day? There were some texts too from Jake, and Evan, and even Nick. >: Hey Rach, call me >: Please. When you can. Or text >: Hey there, just checking in. How are things? :) >: Can you send up a flare or something to prove you’re alive? I wrote back to Nick first and worked my way backwards. >: Working on it >: I’m alright, thanks. You can tell him to calm down lol >: I’m okay. Sorry to have everyone worked up My phone immediately buzzed. I read the new message from Jake in between checking on the princ
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 47: Days Later
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN The rest of the week went by the same way. I was trapped in my mind. I took the bus with Jake sitting next to me in the morning. He would look very serious and try to keep my spirits up. I would get to school early and sit with Ally in the library until Sean came. He would try to distract me. But it didn’t work. I just kept shutting down. I was in control of less and less of myself. Every day Vance cornered me at lunch and brought me to the dark hall. Every day he pressed against me, made threats, and cornered me. But he never kissed me. The only thing I could be grateful for. He would just repeat how I needed to give in and that he wanted me to give myself to him willingly. But repeated that he wouldn't wait forever. Then every day I would be let free by something giving me a few minutes to cry in the bathroom before heading to my last class. After school I would walk with Ally and wait for the bus. Sean stopped fighting me about driving me home. He was clearly
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 48: Dream A Dream
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT: Jake ~ She wasn’t responding. We had gotten to Melbourne about an hour ago and I was pacing in front of Donna’s. Evan had driven us here and we left his car down at the park. “Should we just walk by her place?” I asked, revved up. Nick looked over at me, “I don’t know if that’s the best idea…” he watched me pace some more. “Well we’ve got to do something, this isn’t helping anyone,” Evan commented. “Ugh, fine,” Nick resigned, “But!” He put up his hand, “But if you start losing it over there, you’re listening to me and getting the hell out of there.” “Fine,” I grunted. I was already walking off towards her place. Rachel ~ My eyes fluttered open again. Sleep just wasn’t coming. My mom and Meg had left a few minutes ago, she had some friend’s birthday party to go to and they would be gone for a couple hours. I was on the couch looking up at the ceiling again, trying to connect the little glitter specks in our popcorn ceiling (from the 70s) to mak

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE: Jake ~ I woke up a little disoriented but at peace. When was the last time I had fallen asleep so easily and felt so at ease? I opened my eyes to Evan telling me we had passed out. We. I opened my eyes more and sat up to feel and see Rachel right next to me. We had fallen asleep together on this couch. My heart quickened. She looked so adorable in this sleepy state. She realized we needed to go and I was sad at that, but after our good few hours together, I felt more at peace, satiated. We left her place and I glanced back up at her door before we started up the stairs uphill on our way back into town. I couldn’t help but smile. I was nudged by Evan’s elbow. He gave me a knowing look. “Shut up,” I told him, half heartedly and still smiling. “Ugh,” Nick groaned two steps ahead, “Come on lover boy.” I chuckled. I maybe would have normally given him a stern look, but I was in way too good a mood to. She had felt so comfortable with me she pretty much fe
Dark Alpha Rising: Dreams and Nightmares Ch. 50: Nick's First Shift
CHAPTER FIFTY: Jake ~ “Let’s go! It’s almost time!” Evan yelled excitedly. “Coming!” I called back. Today was Nick’s birthday and he was having his first shift tonight. He was currently out in the forest with his parents and a small group of pack members, excluding my parents who were out visiting a neighboring pack about some changes they each wanted to make on our alliance. I was working on some homework and pushed it to the side to get up and follow Evan out. Heading down the hall and down the flight of stairs, my mind immediately went to Rachel. It had been a miracle that I had been able to get my thoughts focused on homework earlier. A miracle made from running until I thought I would pass out. I was so riled up. I’d been this way since Monday, over three weeks ago now. That night when I’d texted Rachel, and the next morning when I had tried speaking to her, I knew it was true. We were definitely connected. Somehow my body knew when she was sinking back into whatever he
