Untwisting Visions

Riley A shadow of a man emerges from the water. In the moonlight you can make out dark, wet, unruly curls framing a face with sharp edges. His face has full lips surrounded by peach fuzz. His eyes are so dark that they draw you in. Ruggedly handsome. "Riley." "Rileyyy!" "Riley Carter!!" Laney snaps me out of my thoughts. Damn it! I just wanted to get a good look at him. "Having another vision?" She asks. "No," I lie. She gives me a look and pretends to believe me. We had just gotten off the ferry. Our driver pulls up in black truck. We both pile in and head back to the packhouse. It was the last day of high school, and I am glad I never had to go back. I had gotten enough bullying for being a hybrid wolf. Luckily, no one dared to bully me in our territory. Perks of being the Alpha's daughter, I thought bitterly. I am wolf witch hybrid. My father is the Alpha of the Shadow Moon pack. My mom is a powerful witch. She doesn't really belong to a coven anymore because she got kicked for mating with a wolf. She used to say when she first moved here things were hard, but since then, she has casted numerous spells and enchantments to protect the land and the members. She earned the respect of the pack and became the beloved Luna. Even my older brother, Dan, is respected. I guess because he is going to be the future Alpha. I am not sure why I am the one who got bullied.  I started to develop my powers two years ago when I turned sixteen. My mother has been teaching me basic spells and incantations. I haven't worked up to enchantments yet. As I started embracing the witch part of me, I began to have visions. Not all witches have visions. In fact, I am told that I have a gift. We are supposed to interpret these visions or untwist them. My visions were always about a man who was so sexy that I could barely focus on what the meaning was. I know I need to untwist this vision, but he is so damn distracting! The packhouse isn't very far from the ferry. Soon Laney and I are standing at the front door.  "Want to talk about it?" Laney asks. I guess peace and quiet from Laney is always short lived.  "You know how he is, you can't expect me to be paying attention to anything else!" I dramatically reply. "Well stop drooling over the guy in your dreams. He isn't going to help us get ready for our graduation party!" She squeals. Ugh! At least one of us is excited about that one.  "Girls, how was your last day?" My mom asks as soon as we enter. I never shared with my parents that I was bullied in school. I like to fight my own fights. Laney respected that and I was grateful for it. Laney and I share a sideways glance so we can time our responses.  "Good," we say together. Luckily my mom was too excited to notice the guarded look on our faces. "Well go on and get ready for the party!" She shouts while doing a happy dance. She looks even more excited than Laney, if that is even possible. I know neither of them will give me an option to sit it out, so I climb up the stairs to my room. My room was on the second floor. It had plenty of windows to let in natural light. The comfiest bed was situated in the middle. The light gave the room a warm glow. Maybe I can just stay in my room and take a nap. That bed does look tempting... I hated parties, trying to mingle with wolves who have bullied you for as long as you can remember kind of sucks. However, I know Laney would drag me out of this room whether I was willing to go or not, so I picked out a dress and got a bath ready.  I started to soak in my tub, and soon, my thoughts drifted off to my stranger.  ********************************************   He is running along the shore line.  Lucky for me, he decided to go shirtless. I watch his perfect muscles flexing and stretching.  He turns.  I get a good view of his defined six pack. I just want use my tongue and trace out every inch of his body.  He picks up a T-shirt and puts it on. No fair! I didn't see that coming. I never get to see him up close like this. I don't know what will be the outcome of this vision but I hope it ends with a good view of his delicious body. He walks into town.  Wait a minute. I know this place! He is in Wellspring. Why is he here?  He is about to go into the W hotel but decides against it. He begins walking around town. He goes into a store and walks up to an old woman. "Do you have the amulet?" He asked. This is the first time I heard him talk. He has this deep, husky voice. Even his voice is sexy. Purr. My wolf, Lexi, just gave her approval. Guess you and me both girl, huh?  The woman at the store seemed flustered. "I don't have it, Jace. I have told you this multiple times. I will call you when I find it!" She snapped. He walked out. I could tell he was frustrated.  Or more like I could feel his frustration. Why? He turned the corner and looked straight at me.  Wait...Can he see me?  He had soul sucking dark grey eyes. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw me. It was quickly replaced by a determined look. He looks so damn sexy right now that I just can't handle it! My heart starts to pound hard in my chest. Whew! Is it just me or did this bath just get way too hot? I start to pant.  He started walking towards me like there wasn't anywhere else his feet would take him.  I know how he felt; I was drawn to him too. He stopped inches from me. I looked up into his eyes. Damn those perfect eyes!  I felt his warm breath on my face. Lord, help me!  He gently used his hand to lift up my chin and started to kiss me.  I swear I can look at this man and c*m. Knowing that he can touch me...shit, I am a goner. I started to feel tingles all over me. "Mate," Lexi says in my head. No s**t!  It was like a dam broke loose, and I just poured myself into this kiss. I have never been kissed before so I don't really know what I am doing. I am going to give this everything I have. I deepened the kiss and he kept up with me. I bit his lip. He smiled against my lips and pulled me tighter until I was flush with his body. He grabbed the back of my hair and tugged, giving him further access to devour my lips. A moan escaped my lips as his tongue invaded my mouth. I felt a jolt straight down to my core. I moaned louder. "b***h, stop touching yourself and come out of your bath! We need to get our hair and makeup done!" Laney says while pounding on my bathroom door. Agh!! I am all hot and needy. How do I go back to my make out session with Jace? This sucks! I get out of the tub and dry myself. Well, I guess I found my mate. I wonder if he is sharing this vision with me? Or was he really with another woman and I just thought it was me? The last thought dampened my mood as I put on my dress. I look at myself in the mirror. My lips look a little puffed like someone had sucked on them. Hmm. Interesting.  He kissed us, he loves us. Lexi starts in my head.  I remind her that we haven't even met him, which, luckily,shuts her up.  I am going to go to town and find Jace today. I take a good look at myself in the mirror. I need to look flawless. This will be my first meeting with my mate so everything has to be on point. My tight black dress hugged all my curves nicely. It was a good contrast to my olive skin. My dress ended mid thigh and I intended to pair it with four inch heels. Anything to make my five feet self stand taller. I open to door to find Laney. She is wearing a form fitting red dress. Her sleek, short, brown hair was just above shoulders. The red she had chosen complimented her green eyes. "Damn girl, who you trying to impress?" I ask as I step into my bedroom. She rolls her eyes. "Get your ass in here and dry your hair!" She yells while giving me the hair dryer. "I saw him again." "You see him all the time. I am beginning to start worrying about you." I fill Laney in about how much of him I saw and felt. I needed someone to know what was happening to me. Laney listened intently. And per usual, she had her dirty input. "You were about to get down with that man. I wish I waited for more moans before I knocked. I can't wait for your next vision!" "Laney, seriously? I need a friend, not someone who is using my visions for her dirty girl fantasy." "Riley Carter if you want me to help you, I need to know all the details."  "Do you think I am having these visions because I am incapable of finding a real mate? I know wolves have mates but witches don't necessarily. Do I have a mate? Or is it just going to be Jace and me, f*****g in my mind?" "Girl, you don't need a vision for that. Meet a boy or girl or both. Just see where it goes. We will get you looking extra sexy tonight. No boy or girl would be able to resist you tonight." She straightened my dirty blonde hair and started a braid. I decided to do my makeup while she was braiding. I ended up with a side fishtail braid and smoky eyes that accentuated my hazel eyes. Laney called it the classy but sexy look. "Let's go get laid or find our mates and get laid." Laney says as she leads me out of my room. I chuckle. This girl. Our graduation party was going to be huge. My mom had invited all the unmated wolves in the region to come to celebrate since neither Laney and I had found mates. We had both turned eighteen several months ago and our wolves have been awake for a while now. This party was our pack's way to form new alliances and increase odds of finding mates. The whole basement of the packhouse had been turned into dance floor. Dan really wanted to DJ tonight so he and his mate, Jeanie, were going to set up before people got here. Seeing them fit together so well always made me want to find my mate. My thoughts drift to Jace. Whoever my mate is, he has a tough competition. The way that boy kissed me...The thought made me swoon. "Still fantasizing?" Laney asks smirking. "It's a vision, not a fantasy." "Once the clothes come off and the touching begins, I am pretty sure it becomes fantasy."
