That night, I had a dream again. It was a strange dream of a yellow-furred wolf trapped in a dark place. I’ve had it since I was eight but had no idea why. They said old traumas often resurfaced in dreams, but I didn't think that was it. There was always something different with the wolf whenever I dreamed of him. Well, he used to look like a kid, but as I grew up he did too. Despite those years, we never really interacted with each other, as if I was only pulled into wherever he was for a little company.
Recently, though, my dreams of that wolf have become more frequent. I just had this dream the other night, and I was lost at what to do with a mad huffing ball of yarn.
However, this time was different. The wolf turned into a young man. I knew it was him despite the veil of shadow on his face. I could feel it. Suddenly, his eyes locked with mine and my heart drummed wild for some reason, then I woke up.
I got up in a daze, my phone beeping at my side, and the image of his golden eyes burned in my mind.
“What the hell was that?” I muttered.
I grabbed my phone and saw a long list of voice messages from Axel, screaming at me.
“Where are you? What do you mean we’re over?” he growled.
First thing in the morning and he gave me a headache. What was he whining about now?
Then I saw the screenshot of an anonymous post on wolfline Dawn sent to our group chat.
[PearlMoon: Guys, I’m so sad for Beanie. Some heartless girl broke up with him over the phone. He’s so heartbroken. What should I do?]
The photo attached showed only the back of the guy, but I know by the tattoo on his back that it was Axel.
“You two are such a pain!” I growled, almost crushing my phone in fury.
I called Axel, barely keeping it together.
“You wanted to talk, right? Fine,” I said before he could utter a word.
“Good. I’ll book us a res—”
“Don’t bother,” I cut him off. “Meet me at the training ground cafeteria at lunch.” I hung up immediately.
They love making scenes, I would make them a scene.
Dawn wanted to join me as backup when she found out, but I told her I would be fine. I went to the cafeteria early then grabbed the centermost table and waited for them to come.
Jena always made sure I wasn’t alone with Axel, so I knew she’d tag along. A few minutes later, I was
right. Axel walked up to my table with her hiding behind him.
“Jena said she wanted to talk to—”
