The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates novel Chapter 10

Daxton’s p.o.v.

Like every night, I wake up covered in sweat. I had another nightmare, but like always I can’t remember what is was about.

I have had this nightmare for almost twenty seven years and I can’t remember a single detail after waking up, not one single thing that can help me understand this. No sound, no smell, no image.

At first I thought it might have something to do with Sage, but as time passed and details kept alluding me, I gave up hope to find answers in that nightmare.

I say nightmare, because I feel trapped afterwards and it never is a good feeling. The sweat is also telling me that it is a nightmare and even after all these years I hate waking up like this.

Almost as if the events from twenty seven years ago happened all over again, but just like back then I can’t remember a damn thing and it is frustrating the hell out of me.

Cyran growls in my head, he hates this as much as I do and no matter what we have tried, we just can’t remember what happened that night with Sage.

She left the territory a few days later and no one has seen her since. The only thing we know is that she is mated to a Beta and that she hasn’t been in contact with any of her relatives here.

I get out of bed, knowing that I won’t be able to get back to sleep again and get dressed in some training gear. I start with a run through the forest to clear my mind of the nightmare and after that I hit the gym to go through my daily routine, before taking a shower before going to breakfast.

“Another nightmare.” Darius states as I walk out of my room, I don’t have to answer him because he knows what is troubling me.

I was never able to talk to Sage about it, she didn’t want to talk to Darius either and I never found out if Mother talked to her.

Darius always says that if Mother had talked to her, she would have told us and for the first few years I might have believed him. I don’t believe it anymore and I am starting to wonder if the situation with Sage was at the start of all of this.

Even though Darius is her favorite, she still made it clear that we both had to wait for our connection and to form a true Mate-bond out of it. It wasn’t until a few years after that incident that she started to push a chosen Mate on me.

“Damn, I had hoped she wouldn’t show her face for a few more days.” I hear Darius mumble next to me and I actually chuckle at his words.

“Why are you upset? I am the one she is always harassing.” I whisper as I turn my head towards him, I don’t want to see Mother or Daniella.

“You are my Brother and indirectly she is insulting me as well. I don’t want to hear her say that I am getting old.” He whines the last sentence.
