hand froze on my face as he gazed into my eyes.
He shook his head and pulled away, walking a few steps from me. A gnawing want slammed through me so forcefully that I nearly groaned with the force of it.
He turned toward me. His eyes were wide and haunted, “Now, you understand,” He said as his gaze darkened.
I could only nod my head as we stood within the darkness trying to face the consequences of the blood bond.
Chapter Six
The Reality of Dreams
Sleep did not come easy that night. My mind wouldn’t stop returning to Luc as I tossed and turned. Sweat poured from me as I tried not to think of his hands or his lips on me. I nearly screamed in frustration and more than once I had the irrational need to find him and do all of the things my mind conjured. Only when the exhaustion became so great that I wasn’t able to keep my eyes open did I fall into slumber.
The dream I found myself in would only disturb me more than I was before I closed my eyes. I found myself on the side of a mountain on the rocky slope. Snow capped the tops, glowing in the moonlight. A chilled breeze blew around me, causing me to shiver.
Every member of the Brazil family stood around me as if protecting me against an unseen force. I blinked and in that short time, their human forms disappeared to be replaced by large, beautiful wolves. Only one human remained among them…Luc.
He raised his eyebrows as he stared down into my face, “Have you chosen me?” He asked with a frown. I stared at him as I nodded.
“We’re bonded,” I whispered as confusion swamped me.
“That doesn’t mean that you chose me,” he said with his face cloaked in sadness. I frowned as a tear fell down his cheek.
“Do you want me to?” I asked, staring into his eyes suddenly desperate to know the answer, “Do you want me to choose you?”
“It doesn’t matter what I want,” he said as he caressed my cheek and gazed into my eyes almost as if he adored me, “You are the one who has the power. You are the one who chooses.”
A howl broke through the air and I turned with the hair on my arms rising, warning me of danger. I saw another family of wolves standing one hundred feet from me. One human remained within their midst staring at me coldly and he offered nothing but death. I narrowed my eyes at him as anger suddenly burned through my soul. I whispered his name wishing him a death like he had bestowed on my parents.
“Eli,” I said through my teeth and took a step forward.
Luc leaned forward and whispered in my ear, “You need to choose quickly,” he said as his breath caressed my cheek, “Before he devours us both. Then, it will be too late.”
I glanced toward Luc but he was gone. I turned back to Eli. An evil grin lit his face elongating until it grew into the snout of a wolf. I trembled as he shifted fully. I no longer thought of his death. I only wanted to get away from him and save my life. I tried to turn but my feet refused to obey. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t move. A growl broke through the air as Eli began to run quickly. His eyes were set upon me and I realized that he would kill me if he reached me. I opened my mouth to scream as he jumped and was just able to stop the sound as I sat up in bed. Sweat poured off of me and I trembled as I tried unsuccessfully to push the images away.

I trembled as my mind conjured images of Eli’s teeth opened for attack. I swallowed realizing that my nightmare wasn’t like a normal one where
