blessing. I have these resorts as you now know which gives me the illusion of being an outgoing, friendly type. This helps us blend in better with society. But it is somewhat deceiving as we tend to not have that many true, deep friendships with humans. It seems safer that way…so we stick with our own kind but over time those relationships are put to the test. There is a lot of aggression we have to control and some have a much harder time dealing with it than others. I am single, too. Alone. I had a wife but she died a very long time ago. She was killed violently. I have remained alone for centuries trying to keep our kind alive. The sadness in his voice was tearing at my heart. He seemed to drift from me for a few moments and I thought I had lost him in the dream state. Also, the mention about him being alone for centuries freaked me out a little. How old was he? I needed to find out way more information about werewolves. I guess I suspected them to have long lives, like vampires. Gee, I was going to have to ask about that, too. If werewolves existed, were vampires also leeching around? This was not the time or place to think about that. At some point I was going to have to tackle Dominic with those questions. I had to re-focus now.
Daniel, I am so sorry for all you've gone through and what you've got to deal with now. Trust me; I will do what I can to help you. My psychic powers give me the ability to calm and comfort people. Even to plant ideas into people's heads to change the course of what they might do next. I'm supposed to work my magic on this Stephen character I've been hearing about. Of course, doing this without his knowledge would play out better but Eli says we'll have to see how things go. I'm sure he'll tell this to you during the phone call.
Daniel barked out, I do not like the idea of you messing with Stephen. He is extremely dangerous. He has the beast inside him that keeps lashing out and would not think twice to destroy anyone who tried disrupting his new found freedom. He is now the Alpha male of his own pack. They were all part of my pack at one time. It hurts me to see this disloyalty. And he's so territorial and will fight to the death to ensure his new way of living. If something were to happen to you, I don't know if I could control my own beast that lives inside of me.
Daniel's confession surprised me. I think he surprised himself when he blurted this out. But he wanted to make sure I knew this. He wanted to protect me from any harm. I felt all cozy inside. I knew I was falling under his spell.
Daniel, there's so much more I want to know about you. Thank you for caring about me. Let's play it by ear with the Stephen thing for now. I don't want to argue with you about it. I have tons of questions I want to ask about you...and werewolves in general. But I feel both of us slipping in and out of this dream or telepathy or whatever this phenomenon is. And if you can imagine, I started the day out driving to work and the next thing I know my car crashed into a lake, I was abducted by complete strangers, told werewolves exist and that I've been dreaming about one - YOU - also that I have such awesome psychic powers that are going to save you guys from total pandemonium. Ahhh! I was really starting to lose it and feeling the connection with Daniel fading more and more.
Sleep, baby. It's time for you to simply sleep now. We will connect again tomorrow.
Daniel's concern for my well-being and sanity was evident in his voice. He tried to soothe me by caressing my hair and ended with holding my chin so tenderly with two fingers. In ways I didn't feel so alone anymore. And I don't think he did either. But what did any of this really mean?
Good night, Daniel…take care…, I mumbled, lost the mental path with him and this time was out like a light. Not remembering any other dreams.

A barely audible, light tapping sound interrupted my
