I let my guard down. I can't do that again. Yesterday was so fun that I forgot to stay on my toes. I trusted him blindly... Anything could have happened. Something bad could have happened. I'm an idiot. Even if I want to trust him befriend him. I can't. I know what happens when I get close to people. I'm not supposed to be having fun. What if this was a test? Oh god if that was a test save me now.

My brain was letting me have it today. Every moment of yesterday is constantly replaying in my head. Ugh... I'm so stupid!! I know better than to trust people. I looked over to the couch to see Lycos sleeping peacefully.

I'm so sleepy. Why body? Why won't you let me sleep like that?

Slowly I crawled out of bed. The cold frigid air made me shiver. Who turned the heater off. Because I easily got cold Nate and Natalie bought me a small space heater. Which someone who I now wish to destroy, turned mine off. I turned my heater on again and tried waiting for it to heat up. Not being able to take the cold any longer. I searched for any extra blanket or something. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the black hoodie.

The hoodie was so comfortable. The heater was running and warming up the room and I had a nice cozy hoodie. My eyes started to become heavy and before I knew it sleep had swayed me away from reality.

I awoke in a dark place. The darkness seemed to go on forever and in front of me stood me. I looked sad and worried. I reached out to comfort me but I turned away. Slowly the other me began to walk away from me, I followed. The scenery changed. There was fire everywhere. I could hear screaming people and crying children calling for help. What's going on here?! What happening? The crying and screaming stop and all that is left is the all-consuming fire. Out of the shadows, a dark reddish-brown wolf comes creeping towards me. It's your fault it growled. You did this. You killed them. I stood terrified shaking my head no. The other me had disappeared leaving me on my own. The wolf came closer and I ran. Help, I screamed but my voice wouldn't work. Not trying to call for help are you? The wolf laughs venomously. No one is going to help you. No one cares about you and just like all these others you are going to die. All you care about will turn against you. STOP STOP STOP I cried to myself. It's not true!! Everyone that gets close to you dies or gets hurt and you can't do anything to protect them. All your so-called friends will die and it will be all your fault and those who don't will turn against you. Remember Miss Elle. Remember what they did to her! No..., no..., please..., stop it... Tears flowed from my eyes and my body began to shake. My body began to crumble in on itself. PLEASE, SOMEBODY, HELP ME!!! SOMEBODY SAVE ME!

I couldn't stop thinking about him. Even in my dreams, Enzo was there. His smile and his giggles constantly were replaying in my head. I wanted to see that every day for the rest of my life. Please god please lets me see that again.

The way he held my hand. The feel of his hand. It was all embedded in my memory.

When I woke up this morning I found Enzo bundled up and in bed with a fever. He was even wearing my hoodie again. I tried to wake him up but he wouldn't get up. I called Dr. Jay and he started to run some tests. When he left he told me not to mess with him at all because there is a chance that it could make it worse.

Enzo constantly has nightmares and it looks like he was having one right now. I wanted to comfort him so bad even though I knew that was a bad idea. But of course, I listened and didn't mess with him. Enzo's fitful sleep has left me on edge.

The door to the bedroom opens. "Alpha?" Dr. Jay comes in. "Yes?" "Well, I um... I couldn't find anything in. I uh... don't know what wrong with him." All I could see was red before I yelled at him. "Sir? Until I figure out what is wrong with Enzo. I suggest someone constantly be watching him. Preferably, someone, he feels at least somewhat comfortable with." "So Nate, Natalie, or I need to watch him" "Yes sir, I could also help out with that too." He sounded eager way too eager to help out for my liking. "No, not you." "Wait why?" "You said people he is comfortable with. Enzo isn't comfortable with doctors. You are a doctor so, No" For some reason it felt really good to turn him down.

I haven't mated with Enzo yet. So yes I'm a little possessive but can you blame me. There are so many unmated wolves that you never know what gonna happen. It's not that I don't trust Jay and it's not because he is unmated because I know he is mated. His mate is a lovely woman. I just don't want anyone to steal Enzo away from me...

Damn it... I am being too possessive.

Enzo rolled over and mumbled in his sleep. His sleep was fitful. Oh.. how I wish I could help him.

-Time skip-

It's been two days and Enzo still has not woken up. I am going crazy! Not only me but Nate and Natalie too. They are literally ready to rip someone's head off. The entire pack is worried about Enzo. I mean why would they not be. That's there Luna right there.

To top off all my problems. I have company coming over in the three days for the monthly Alpha meet. Which I forgot I was hosting. Good damn it why doesn't the goddess just give me a heart attack already. With this amount of stress and worry going on I'm sure it's not impossible.

With the upcoming Alpha meet and Enzo bedridden, I am so busy and worried. His fever still hasn't come down and no matter what we do it never goes down.

Goddess, please don't take Enzo from me!

In the middle of the forest far into the western mountains laid a wolf covered in blood. The blood from his prey stood gleaming on his fur. The wolf stood up and trots back in forth in thought. The eyes of the wolf were hungry, but they were not hungry for food. They were hungry for blood and revenge. Deep in the head of the wolf, dangerous plans began to brew. When his plans were complete he dashed off into the night leaving nothing but the corpse of his pray.

In the southern mountains, Enzo lays unconscious in his bed reliving his worst nightmares over and over again. Nate, Natalie, and Lycos race against the clock to find a way to heal Enzo and set up for the Alpha meeting. Their only worries being the meet and Enzo. Little did anyone know something was brewing and at the center of it, all will be the one they wish to protect.

The winds have changed. The path has changed. Something is brewing.
