Claws of Stone I TOLD HIM TO STAY IN!
Dominic’s storyI could still feel that uneasiness inside me, even from the moment I left the TV headquarters. It was something I had never experienced before, an intense feeling like a bad thing was about to happen. But I ignored the anxiety and put it down to exhaustion. It had been a full evening. I’d just been the guest of honor on a TV show. Life as an artist was just a way to release all the tension that was building up inside me. I found it hard enough sometimes to keep him inside. As soon as I made another turn, the same feeling of unease from earlier swept over me again. I felt like I was sinking into the driver’s seat. What was happening to me? An unexplainable warmth washed over me and I could feel it coming out of me. Even my eyes turned red, and my fangs came out without me being able to do anything. No, you mustn’t come out. I forbid you! I screamed in my mind, maddened by a feminine presence that not only gave me no peace but also hurt me? My God, what were those feeli
Claws of Stone IS THERE A BRIGHT SIDE?
Dominic’s storyNever in my life have I been so scared of something as I was for her. I didn’t even know her name. I knew nothing about her, only that I felt desperate to save her and that she absolutely had to live. I came to see her every day. Every day I am worried about her. They had initially moved her to the ICU and were there for over a month now. I kept talking to Declan and today I had another meeting with him. I was hoping for good news.I was spending most of my time in a chair in front of the ward. I’ve given up my acting life and put all my projects on standby. But I was still practicing my lines at home. Getting into the skin of another character helped me immensely, and I felt it was the only way I could cope with all this. Sometimes I was losing my hope that she would ever open her eyes. She had tests after tests, but she still wouldn’t open her eyes. I bowed my head, wishing God could hear me. And just then there was a tap on my shoulder that made me glance at the
Claws of Stone STUBBORN LITTLE HEAD
Dominic’s storyThe past week was a living hell. Between my acting and coming to see Miss Rebecca, my life had been like a roller coaster. I took this decision to keep working, as I knew I was going crazy if I didn’t. To my amazement, I didn’t feel tired at all, as I was coming to the hospital during the day and doing my shows and interviews at night. In fact, it motivated me, and my audience felt it. They frequently stopped me and asked how things were going. It was like Miss Rebecca was part of my life, part of my fans’ lives. Not a performance went by without them asking me about her health. When I would sign autographs, their concern for her was still there.Eventually, that day came. I was still drinking my espresso in the kitchen, wondering how I should approach this problem. All week I’ve been on guard, running scenarios about how I’m going to tell her who I really am and that she was going to live with me in my house. Both me and Declan decided it was best for her. How would s
Claws of Stone IN THE DARK
Rebecca’s storyComing so close wasn’t exactly a good idea, which is why he could definitely hear my heart beating like crazy. I couldn’t see him because of the bandages, but I was greedily inhaling his delicious aroma.“Dominic Stone...” I repeated his name, and he immediately turned away from me. I couldn’t describe the feeling of abandonment I immediately felt.“Therefore, you know me,” he reinforced the idea by hearing his name from my mouth. It wasn’t intentional, just an involuntary reaction, though. But my reaction was totally unexpected, even for me. I could say I was rude about it.“Show me someone who doesn’t know you, Mr. Stone! And you’re here because...”“It’s Dominic actually and I’m taking you home with me so I would answer your question without too many detours,” he concluded, and I even felt a victory glow on his face.I shifted on the bed, barely restraining myself from laughing. At the same time, I was also nervous. I didn’t want to seem rude, but who would have tho
Claws of Stone ACCEPTANCE
Rebecca’s storyI was desperately trying to keep my composure, but I was not succeeding. I couldn’t see anything, and the doctor’s confirmation gave me the creeps.Despite the situation I was living at maximum intensity, I tried to follow Declan’s voice.“Miss Holland, we’re going to do a CT Scan again. Something’s wrong and I need to find out what.” He didn’t wait for me to answer and immediately supported me to sit down in what appeared to be a wheelchair. “Don’t be scared that it is a chair for disabled people. It’s the easiest way to carry you” It was damn scary being carried into the unknown, but I could feel both men next to me. Dominic still hadn’t freaked out and abandoned me. By the time I got to the room where I was going to have my CT scan, my nerves got stretched to the breaking point. “I’m going to lay you on a table, Miss Holland, and to help you not move, I’m going to strap you down. You’ll have to stay perfectly still!” repeated Declan, and it wasn’t long before I f
Claws of Stone WHAT DOES LUNA MEAN?
Dominic’s storyHaving this woman so close will definitely make it hard for me to cope. I’ve also somehow decided not to give up acting. If I did, I’d lose my mind around her. I was trying my hardest to be a proper gentleman around her. I felt a strong desire burning inside me. That she was blind I was not rejoicing, but if she could have seen me, she would have witnessed the desire in my eyes. I barely knew her, but I had the sensation I’d known her forever.Once we were installed in my house, I realized I couldn’t let her alone while I was on set, so I had to convince one of my best friends to move in with me. And that was how I called Megan. I was certain she could be of tremendous help.And because it was a bad idea that I should be the only one with her in the house, even if she was my Luna, I would not pressure her. And Megan’s arrival seemed timely. It was imperative that she felt not only welcome but also protected. “Please feel at home, Miss Rebecca. I’ll be right back,” I
Claws of Stone MILLION PIECES
Rebecca’s storyIt was the first time I had heard such a word. It sounded more like... a woman’s name. Still, I was curious. And I felt so helpless I couldn’t see them. “Well? What is a Luna?” I insisted, sensing the tension that had risen between the two of them. I could almost see them looking at each other, wondering who should speak first. Eventually, it was Dominic’s friend Megan who did it.“My dear, first of all, it is a pleasure to meet you and I am sorry to do so under such circumstances. I would have liked to have met you over coffee. But, to answer your question, Luna...is a kind of nickname...that Dominic here...uses with...his friends. Women, especially. He would not use that kind of name for a man, was he?” Megan’s explanation was a bit forced, but I would not push it either. If I was honest with myself, I didn’t really care about that right now. All I wanted to do was recover and get on with my life. I had a lot of contracts on standby and I either had to honor them or
Claws of Stone MY TRUTH
Dominic’s storyI couldn’t wait to get out of my own house. Rebecca’s presence was driving me crazy, especially since the wolf in me hadn’t found peace since I rescued her. Not being a pureblood, I was skeptical even about that. I thought I could control my senses and not give in to desire. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Although I had used my career as an excuse, I still called my agent and right now we were meeting at my favorite restaurant. I didn’t have any shooting, but I really needed to see Nick. He was a man of many ideas. Maybe this time he had one as brilliant as ever. “You called Megan? The Megan I also know? To help you do what, Dominic?” he asked in a deep voice, almost standing up with the whole table.The second we sat down at the table, Nick started questioning me. I’ve known Nick for over ten years. He was my best friend, almost like a brother. He also knew my other personality. Only I knew the reason I called Megan to help me, and maybe Megan herself knew it.“I
