The Beast And The Blessed

Natalie’s P.O.V.
A loud knocking woke me from my dream of running through the forest in my fur, and I groaned as the memory of it vanished just as quickly. I knew what my dream was about, but once my eyes were open I couldn’t picture it any longer. The sights, the smells, the feeling of it… it was all gone.
It had always been my favorite dream, and I had it frequently.
But it was a dream that I had no expectation of ever becoming reality.
Instinctively, my arm slid across the bed, seeking out the warm body that had held me last night.
While I had been waking up every few minutes before he had joined me, once I was in his arms, I had the best sleep of my life. Considering he was still a stranger, it seemed odd that I found that kind of comfort in him.
The lack of his presence made me look to my side, seeing my mate’s side of the bed empty. The blanket had been pulled back smooth against the bed, and the pillow had no indent to show any sign that he had ever been there.
I knew it had been too good to be true. He probably slept somewhere else last night with one of his women, and I had just been dreaming of him being here.
Yet, the memory of him nuzzling my neck and claiming me as his was strong, unlike the dreams that had already dissipated from my mind.
I looked around the room to make sure I was still alone and that no one could see me before leaning over and sniffing the pillow. His smell wasn’t as strong as it would have been if I had shifted, but it was still there. He had been in the bed, holding me.
A smile stretched across my face, and I fell back onto my pillow. The king wasn’t as cold as he acted. He had a soft spot, and if I wanted this to work, I would just need to work my way into it.
