MasukDOMINIC's POVI gently laid Evelyn on the bed and pressed a kiss to her forehead and lips."Just a moment," I whispered and mumbled something about ending Amanda. She muttered my name, and her eyes drooped, causing me to panic. I would rush her out of there if I could manage it, but Amanda was still an obstacle.Amanda sneered at me when I straightened and shook her head."Are you really going to attack me because of…that?" She asked, pointing at Evelyn and growled."I'm going to do more than attack you, Amanda." I vowed and raised a hand, shifting it into my paw, "I'm going to put an end to your miserable existence."After saying that, I rushed toward her and grabbed her suddenly by the collar of her shirt and lifted her high above the ground.Her eyes went wide with fear as her legs dangled in the air, her hand gripping mine."Dominic, don't do this…" She choked out, grabbing my hand helplessly. "Please.""please?" I spat. "You dare beg for mercy, when you didn't show any to Evelyn
EVELYN's povFlashbackA few hours ago I felt like I was on the brink of passing out of existence. The wolfsbane Amande had injected into my bloodstream was simply too much and I was barely holding on.As I slipped in and out of consciousness, all I could think of was Dominic and our puppy I was currently carrying. My baby. Nothing could happen to my baby.I tried to reach over and cover my belly, but my hand felt too weak. I was too weak.I moaned and called out for Amanda."Amanda…please." I heard footsteps walking to the bedside, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Amanda peering down at me maliciously.She had an evil grin on her lips and she looked totally crazy.It struck me just then, that Amanda was willing to do just about anything. As long as she got to see me suffer. Especially now that she knew I was with child."You baby's daddy is on his way, so why don't you remain in the world of the living until he shows up. You're welcome to die when he gets here. I want to see the lo
DOMINIC's povI stared at the phone with a mix of anger and shock.Did Amanda just say that Evelyn was pregnant with my pup? Or was she just saying things to rile me up?My fingers tightened around the phone until my knuckles went white, my wolf snarling beneath my skin. If she was lying, I was still going to kill her for saying it. If she wasn’t…"Dominic? What is wrong? What's that look on your face?"Simon's voice shook me back to the present and I looked up at him to find the quiet fear that Amanda would do something terrible to Evelyn mirrored on his face."It's Evelyn." I whispered. The whole world had suddenly seemed to stop rotating, and I felt like I was in some kind of dream.Or a nightmare I couldn’t quite wake up from."I know it's Evelyn. What has happened to my daughter?!""Amanda took her." I said, and shoved my phone back into my pocket. "I'll go save her! If Amanda so much as touches a hair on Evelyn's head-"My voice cracked with barely restrained rage."I'll come wi
EVELYN's povDominic had become so consumed with trying to figure out my mother's murderer and so when I suddenly felt unwell, I kept it to myself rather than burden him with it."It's probably nothing, and the last thing I need right now is for him to worry." So while I was out, I decided to put on my jacket and visit a healer by myself.I told myself it was just a precaution, nothing more.I hoped that the healer would identify the cause of my ill feelings and prescribe a drug to help me get back on my feet.The healer didn't leave too far from the house, but each step I took made me feel a little lightheaded, so I hailed a cab and arrived at the healer's place in a couple of minutes."I knew I would be getting a warm visit today, come on in!" Yasmine, the healer hugged me when she saw me and ushered me into her hope."Thank you very much, Yasmine." I said soft as I sat on one of her very soft couches.Her house literally reflected her equanimous nature, and I felt better just by be
DOMINIC's povI would keep my word to Evelyn.I was not going to rest until I discovered the unfortunate pack member responsible for killing her mother. And once I did, I swear I was going to pay."I need your best private investigator, Liam. I need to know who did this. My life with Evelyn kind of depends on it."Liam nodded. "I hear you. I have a guy, but I should tell you, he doesn't charge cheaply.""I don't care how much he asks for, as long as he can find the guy I'm looking for. And if there are other people involved? Great, I want to know every single one of them.""As long as the culprit is alive, you're bound to find him. But what are you going to do when you do?"I smiled coldly, "I have a couple of things in mind that fit his crime. Killing him would be too easy, so I'll make sure he suffers. I'll make sure he feels the weight of every pain he's caused Evelyn and her family."Liam nodded slowly, "I'd definitely hate to be that guy." he took out his phone and began to tap
EVELYN's povIf I was grateful for anything about Amanda kidnapping Dominic's mother, it had to be the fact that it changed the relationship dynamics between me and Dominic's mother.She has been much more kind to me since then, and I took that as a positive sign.Trauma had a strange way of softening the hardest hearts.Then there was the actual fact that I saved her."She smiles at me now, and is always trying to make sure I'm comfortable." I told Dominic, watching the way his eyes softened when I spoke of her."I never thought I would ever see the day , to be honest.""Mama, can be a real pain. But I swear she can equally be the sweetest angel. I'm happy to hear you're getting along now. To be honest, I'm a bit surprised you found it so easy to forgive her, after everything she'd said and done."I just smiled.It was a small, tired smile, carrying far more than I could put words to."I can't deny the things she said were hurtful, but I'm in love with her son. That's enough reason
EVELYN's povOver the course of the next couple of days I spent at Dominic's place, we got closer and as stubborn as I was, I had to admit to the fact that he made me feel safe.I had just freshly got out of the shower and took my place across from him at the table."You clean up nice." He commente
EVELYN's pov"Mother, what are you doing here?" Dominic said, after a long awkward stretch of silence. The air suddenly felt too tight, like the room itself was holding its breath.His mother lazily dragged her eyes away from me, without a word and spoke to her son."I live here? Or did you forget?
EVELYN's pov"Evelyn!" Dominic cried and immediately rushed toward me. Something about the relief of seeing him made me shift back into my human form, and I simply slipped right into his embrace."Oh Evelyn, I thought I lost you." He whispered, his lips brushing against my temple."Dominic." I whim
EVELYN's pov"I had hoped that after being here these past days that you would have come back to your senses." Harrison said as he selected the devices, "But it has come to my understanding that only brutal force will work with you."His voice was disturbingly calm, as if he were discussing discipl
