I am your nightmare, your beautiful nightmare
He sneers at her the whole time he was at their house, even talk about how Carla and he loves each other.
It became worst when Cameron and Laura went up to ready the kids. Dante moves too fast in front of her his hand almost breaking her wrist. Taunting her to accept the rejection or he'll continue appearing in her nightmares like the children's boogie man or even better Freddie and Jason.
Even though Daniella felt like throwing the white towel in his arena yet her wolf was there to encourage her to be strong and not to give up solidifying her refusal to accept the rejection in order to break the bond.
Days pass and Dante never fails to keep his promise of tormenting her.
Daniella became exhausted of him showing up everywhere she goes even when she was looking for a job Dante is always there with Carla in his arms. He also has the decency to show up at a cafe near his territory where she found a new job.
It was like he knew where she was heading to and every time she told herself that she is going to start a new day, new life Dante always pop up to give her a reminder of her past.
Today was one of those days, and she hated him for it. Yet she refuses to accept his rejection as it will only mean he won. She didn't want to be the sore loser in his game.
"Umm miss you forgot my change"
She turns up to find a bubbly young female with raven hair and hazel eyes which caught much attention of the unmated wolves in the cafe.
"I'm sorry"
she apologizes handing her 100 dollar change to her "it's just that" she tries to look away from Dante who was sitting at the corner table with Carla. Their hands entwine together and they look in love together.
"He's a catch right?" the young she-wolf beams and Daniella turn back to the female in front of her
"I'm sorry who?" Daniella was confused
The she-wolf extended out her delicate hand to her "I'm Cora" she smiles.
Her wolf didn't feel threatened by her so she shook hers in return
"I'm Daniella, nice meeting you" she half-smiles.
The doorbell ring she saw the beta coming inside he stood beside Cora
"Hey," he says to Cora who blushes aside.
"So where is that bro-"
Cora coughs loudly not for Daniella to hear. Her eyes signally to Jem aside. She didn't want her to know that Dante is her brother as it will ruin a chance of her being her friend given her brother's history.
She also admires Dani's beauty and seeing her stare at her brother she wished she was his Mate And her sister in law to be instead of Allen's sister Carla.
The girl surely loves to do matchmaking for werewolves couples as if she is the moon goddess herself. Sometimes she complains to the moon goddess in her prayers for mismatching people. Like when Kyle turns out not to be her mate but some idiot who refuse to acknowledge their bond even though he's not rejecting her.
Jem look confused for a minute then turn in front of them to find Daniella. He remembers her from the night of the Treaty with the Crescent pack.
"oh hey, I know you, the waiter from Gustav's Catering and Restaurant right"
Daniella smile, she wishes that instead of saying a waiter how about a compliment like 'you're the girl whom I stalk that night' she thought with sarcasm.
"correct in fact, that was before... now I work here."
Cora watches Jem face turn red "oh look who's blushing, I never thought I won't see the day our bet.. " he clamps his hand on her mouth and reach out his other hand to Daniella
"Jem."
"Nice meeting you Jem, Daniella"
Another guest arrived she turn to find the look-alike Jem with his girlfriend then follow by Alpha Allen. He nods in her way than to Cora and Jem
"Hey Cora, Jem! where's the Alpha?" Cora turns to point at Dante's and Carla's table at the corner. They started walking there
"hi" Alpha Allen wave his hand at her
"Alpha" she responded formally. Daniella didn't want to be rude as he was an Alpha.
"I'll see you around Dani" Cora gave her a big grin waving goodbye before going with Jem and the others. She sighs under her breath
"This is not good"
Her day was already ruin by the sight of the love-sick couple. When they were done Dante never fails to hurt her again by kissing Carla in front of her in which she rolls her eyes in return and continues to do her work.
The cafe closes everyone has already gone home. Daniella looks at her wristwatch and saw 7:45 pm. She mops the floor before going out.
Smiling to herself she tries to forget Dante and other things. Taking a deep breath, she smelt a corpse stale which she wanted to throw up as she was breathing in the disgusting smell.
Cursing under her breath wishes that she didn't take in that smell.
Growls and snarls were heard and when she turned to go two wolves emerged from the woods both in blood and they fought brutally. She wanted to move or rather help but she didn't know which is the good one. Also, there were no houses or any other work near this cafe.
Another piercing growl was heard she turn to find a big brown wolf in blood howling at her. His smell was so bad, that instead of running away she froze.
Daniella has only shifted once, she has a strength in humans due to her wolf presence but she hasn't shifted again after her first shift.
She barely survived her first shift due to her body being weak and her being traumatized by her past.
The wolf as if he's grinning snarl once more before running in her direction, her heart exhilarated the normal heartbeat.
Her eyes widen then close waiting for her death as her body fails to move "oh moon goddess" she prays.
