Page 18 of My Omega's Dream

I take a deep breath, sinking into Frost’s scent. It takes longer than I care to admit that the scent in my nose is the same scent from my dream. Was I sniffing Frost while asleep and that translated into my dream? Or was Frost the alpha I dreamed about?

No, that can’t be it. That would mean--

Frost stirs behind me. He tightens his arms around me before freezing. “Oh fuck,” he murmurs before pulling away, flipping himself around, and falling out of bed onto the floor.

I turn around, watching with amusement as he pops his head above the edge of the bed in order to look at me with a wince. “I’m sorry, Avery.”

“It’s okay,” I say softly, “I didn’t mind.”

“You didn’t?”

I shake my head. “Oh,” he breathes out. “Okay. I’m umm, I’m going to go jump in the shower. I have some more work to do today for Theo and Elias.” Before I can say anything else, Frost is running into the bathroom, leaving me in bed alone.

Chapter ten

Frost

“Frost?”

“Fuck,” I blurt out, dropping the screwdriver and swaying where I stand on this ladder. I look down where Elias is standing, smiling up at me.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you. I thought you heard me walking over to you!”

“It’s okay,” I say right away. In truth, my head was a million miles away. The dream from last night has been playing on repeat today. I can’t stop thinking about what it felt like to be chased by Avery, to have him against my body, to feel his mouth against my skin. I can’t stop thinking about the confession I made to him and how I’d run the fuck away in the light of day.

Fuck, I’m a coward. But I can’t in good conscience start something with him before I tell him I’m a dreamwalker.

“My mind was a million miles away.”

“Everything alright? How’s the new sleeping arrangement going?”

I curse the fact that my cheeks heat as I think about the way I woke up curled around Avery’s body. I swear I can still feel his heat despite the fact that I’m standing on a ladder, repairing a gutter, with the cold wind blowing through my hair.

“Everything is well,” I tell him, nodding my head. “Avery and I are getting along really nicely.”

“Theo had a feeling you would,” Elias says with a grin, giving me a little wink. “He’s quite good at nudging people where they need to be.”

“Just him?”

“Okay, I may or may not enjoy a bit of matchmaking as well. Are we far off?”

I bite my bottom lip, careful not to nip my piercing. “You’re not,” I confess softly. “I’m glad you nudged the two of us together.”

“That makes me really happy,” Elias tells me. “Who knows what can happen in the next few days.” Elias gives me a pointed look before he’s on his way to wherever he’s going.

His words play over in my head. Who knows what can happen with the time we’re both here. Sure, when everything is said and done, he’ll be back to his pack and I’ll be back on the road. Does that mean I shouldn’t even try? Does that mean I should keep my dreamwalker side a secret?

Fuck, why does all of this feel so important and confusing? Why do I suddenly long to stop running and settle down?

I push the thought away, doing my best to focus on the task at hand. I clean out the gutter and make sure it’s secured. With the snow storm coming, the last thing Theo and Elias need is for gutters to get full and fall under the weight of the snow.

As I’m finishing up, Theo walks by, whistling to himself. “Hey, Frost. Catch!”

I raise my hand more out of instinct than anything, grabbing the key from the air that he tosses in my direction. I stare down at it. “What’s this?”

“Key to the dome. I think you should take Avery to check it out tonight. Supposed to be clear until the snow starts falling in the morning. Might be fun,” he says with a shrug. I can see through this whole innocent act but I can’t find it in myself to call him out on it.

“That sounds like a great idea. Thank you, Theo!”
