We're going back

What was he doing here? He was supposed to be

"Gone, you thought I was gone. But don't worry. Your worst nightmare is back"

He said as he jumped and hugged me.

"You're not supposed to be here. No, Aaron you're not supposed to be here. You're, you're dea-dead"

I said while swallowing a heavy bulge, down my throat. There was no way he was standing in front of me. Aaron was dead.

"Caleb. It's me. Aaron. I'm not dead. I'm alive"

Just then. I looked at him. And his face instantly changed. His eyes were falling off his face.

His entire body was melting. Right before my eyes, I could see him replicate into a thousand more others and just then.

I woke up. Panting and sweating. The nightmares were getting out of hand. The entire bed was soaked with my sweat.

"Are you okay?"

Justin's voice brought me back to reality. I wasn't but I was an alpha and I couldn't let anyone think that I was getting frightened by these nightmares. I would be seen as weak.

"I'm fine. It's just a-"

"Nightmare or bad dream?"

Justin cut me off. He was getting better.

"Well, it seems my beta has grown some balls"

I couldn't help but mock him.

"Caleb. You need help. The nightmares have only gotten worse and the lunar eclipse is approaching"

The way I hated to admit it but maybe. Just maybe he was right. The lunar eclipse was very important to me. I don't even know how I survived the last one but to survive the next one, I needed to be in shape.

"I know"

I said back to Justin defensively. The last thing I wanted was him thinking that he had said something reasonable.

"Should I get you anything?"

"Yes, I would like if we could play a game"

Justin looked at me dramatically.

"Hockey?"

"What did you think I meant?"

I could see the visible look of frustration on his face but I loved messing with him so much.

The next day in class, Justin was too busy dozing. It made me laugh, because I was the reason and worst of all I was going to make his life a living hell.

I mean what use is a beta if I can't use him for my entertainment.

"Caleb Vane your attention is needed"

I knew who it was. My father. I didn't want to go but did I have a choice? Was there ever a choice?

"What is wrong with you?"

There he goes off yelling. I was used to this but I just pretended to care.

"You're the alpha and you keep acting like you're unaware of the responsibility on your shoulders"

There he goes with another refuted line. I was really tired of this. In all sincerity.

"Listen, I sent help for you and you threatened to kill her? Who does that ? When you become the Alpha is that how you're going to treat your pack?"

"I've had enough. Dad I've had enough. I'm too this, I'm too that. Why don't you just leave me alone to be the beast everyone thinks I am"

I finally spoke up for the first time in my life. I was sick and tired of being bossed and pushed around like I was some sort of character in a movie.
