crazy. What if it was true, Kane, Waverly, and him. What if he was having these dreams and he could somehow communicate with Waverly, maybe they stood a chance at saving her.
“ Hey, buddy. You okay?” Vander slowly opened his eyes at Jewel standing at the door. He could see the concern on her face as she walked outside. He knew Jewel wouldn’t push him in regards to the mate issue with Kane, but he knew her well enough to know she wouldn’t stay out of it either. She was going to ask questions about his mother, it was bound to come up, and soon.
“ Yeah, just needed some air.” Vander stood, masking his emotions. “I am trying to make sense of shit running around in my head.”
Jewel looked at him closely. “ Such as?”
“ Is it possible that I can communicate with Waverly, you know, before we are mated?” Vander asked slowly.
“ What haven’t you told me?” Jewel asked tightly.
Vander sighed, yep he was about to piss off his b est friend, but he had to know. It was bugging the shit out of him. “I have been having dreams.”
“ Dreams? What kind of dreams?” Jewel asked sharply.
“ Before we even knew about Waverly, I had a dream of a woman being tortured. Back when we were in New York, I figured it was because the case was intense and it involved you, anyway. It is always the same, she is being tortured, but the weird part is—she looks right at me, I mean as if she knows I am there, helping her, keeping her strong. It is weird,” Vander said and ran his hands through his hair.
“ Have you talked to her?” Jewel asked.
“ No, each time I just stand there, and stare at her. Hell, I don’t even look at what he is doing or where she is. It’s like I am there only for her to look at. I am so focused, but I can feel her pain, feel that she is pissed and refusing to let them know that she is hurting. It gives them power, and she won’t do it, so she just keeps it inside,” Vander said.
“ Okay, I have no clue if this is even possible. I mean I have never heard of it before, but it doesn’t mean that what you are feeling is wrong or anything. When you mate there is a connection, you know like I told you. You can feel where they are, if they are upset, or in trouble. But that is always after the claiming, maybe it is different with Omegas, I have never actually spoken to anyone about it,” Jewel said and pulled out her phone. “Let me call Ret.”
Vander paced as his friend called her mate. He wanted someone to tell him he wasn’t crazy, but the more he thought about it, the more he wondered. There was no way the dreams were real. He was going to be checking into the loony bin soon. That is what his friend was going to tell him, she had a one-way ticket to the funny farm with his name on it.
“ I got good news and bad news,” Jewel said briskly as she hung up the phone.
Vander turned and looked at his friend , she didn’t look like she was pulling out the cuffs to secure him so maybe there was some hope.
“ Okay, give me the bad news first,” Vander said.
“ The dreams are real, and Omegas can project to her mates, images and feelings, before they are mated. However, in order to do it, she has to have seen you at one time or another and recognized you on some level as her mate. The only problem is that since she has bonded at least on some level with you, if she dies, you will go crazy,” Jewel said.
“ Huh?” Vander said stunned.
“ Okay, I lied, maybe I should have said, bad news and then more bad news.” Jewel shrugged.
"Will you s ay it," Vander was in no mood for jokes, he needed to understand.
“Once an Omega has made the connection with either of her mates, they will go feral if they don’t complete the bond in a certain amount of time,” Jewel said.
“ Shit, how long?” Vander said.
“ No one knows, it is usually the Omega who initiates the process since they have the power to do it,”
