Dominic Bri's wolf was fierce, that was for sure. But with her not ever being trained, I feared for her. Thankfully, she was this pack's alpha's sister, which would hopefully mean they would spare her if a fight did happen. Alpha Stone, at least, had been near enough to hear his uncle's threats and came and intervened. I was more than capable of holding my own against the older man, but if I had to fight him and keep her from trying to fight him simultaneously, I wasn't sure I could do both. Once the older man was out of the room, it was easy to switch over to taking care of her. Her body shook as her wolf continued to try and take control. She did well at controlling it, but she was still new to her wolf. She hadn't had her whole life of training and readying herself for this. Only having shifted two days ago, she was doing good with her control, but some wolves took a week or two to tame their wolf enough to have control over them. But like most things that had been thrown at her t
BriI continued to draw while Dominic and Blake talked. I know I should probably be more involved in my future, but to be honest, I was new to this world, and I trusted Dominic with my life. I know, as a human, that sounds crazy. I hardly knew him, but as a wolf, that was completely normal. I knew in my gut he would never harm me, and I trusted that feeling. Besides, my apparent brother had no plans to split the two of us up, and as long as we stayed together, I was okay with whatever was decided. It was true I had no idea how to protect myself, and it would feel nice to be able to know a few things. The silence that followed their conversation was pleasant. At least until the silence ended abruptly about an hour later. During that whole time, Dominic simply watched me draw. He never once got annoyed that that was what I was doing. He never once pulled the pencil from my hand to question what I was drawing and why. He didn't get angry that I hadn't paid attention to the conversation
Dominic Somehow The Demon Shadows found us before we could get too far. As much as I wished we could have gotten Bri farther away, it would be nice to get this over with so we wouldn't have to look over our shoulders. With the knowledge that someone was with Bri that could help protect her, I could focus on the matter at hand and get rid of the man who wished to claim my mate as his. We collided with the other pack, and I was sure it looked like a scene from a movie. The Demon Shadows were strong. I will give them that. But everyone has a weakness. It was just a matter of finding it. Wolves shifted just before they collided with one another. The once quiet cabin was now filled with the defining sounds of bones breaking, teeth snapping, deep snarling growls, and wolves howling in pain. Knowing Bri was safely hidden inside meant I could focus and not worry about her. It didn't go unnoticed that once The Demon Shadows attacked, their alpha ducked back into the woods. He was still close.
BriOnce the fighting started, it felt like time slowed down all together. The fighting seemed to go on forever. I lost track of where Dominic was. I searched the screens hoping to find him. I had to know he was ok. But it was like he had disappeared altogether. And then I saw him being carried out of the trees. He was thrown over Landon's shoulder like a sack of potatoes. In front of him was Blake caring another still body. This one was not being carried so nicely and looked like his throat had been ripped out. The fighting stopped. All eyes were on them. Blake threw the body he had been carrying onto the ground. Every member of The Demon Shadows fell to the ground submissively. "Those of you that wish to continue to follow Cain may stay and meet the same fate as your Alpha. The rest of you better pray to the moon goddess. I never see your faces again." As Blake spoke, Landon moved around him and headed for the house. Angel and I moved together as we headed for the door. I wanted to
BlakeLeaving Bri alone with her mate, it was time to start planning for the future. The pack has been on the move for way too long now. It was time we settled down again. Time we claim land for ourselves. It was time for my pack to begin growing again. I would be able to remove my orders for no new pups to be born. I hated giving those orders. I hated following my own orders on the subject. But we couldn’t chance the loss of any more pups. I couldn’t hear another mother’s wails when her pup was killed during an attack. It was time for the pack to get back to being a pack again. It was time to decide our futures.Along with figuring out the pack, I needed to figure out what was next for Bri. There would be no joining the pack without her mate. And I knew from the years of my pack being on the run that chances of that were slim. Dominic’s experiences with packs will not have been good ones. I would have to find a way to convince him that my pack was different somehow. That and I could
BriMy alarm woke me up, letting me know it was time to give Dominic his medicine. Sitting up, I did as the witch had told me to. When I was done, I laid back down and closed my eyes again. The same dream returned to me. Starting with me looking up at the moon and ending with me climbing in the car to leave. My alarm woke me up at that moment again. I repeated this a couple more times before I didn't go back to sleep after giving Dominic his medicine. I didn't get a chance to as Angel knocked softly on the door before letting herself in. "I brought you something to eat. I didn't think you would leave the room. But you must eat." I shook my head. I wasn't hungry. Shrugging, Angel set the plate on the end table next to the bed. "Then you should get up and at least stretch out your muscles. If you don't, you will become sore and no help to your mate." I shook my head again but sighed at the same time. She was right. "I don't want to leave him." She shrugged. "I can show you a few
Dominic We were back in Bri's house. I had woken up in her room, in her bed. Had everything been a bad dream? Looking around some more, I found a line connected to my arm. So, not a dream. My attention was pulled to the bedroom door as it burst open, and Bri ran in. Running over to me, she wrapped herself around me, our lips connecting instantly. She was safe. Our moment was interrupted by the woman that Blake had sent Bri away with at the cabin and an older man I had never seen before. From the smell of him, he was part of the pack. Reluctantly I let Bri go, who stepped out of the room with the female, leaving me with the older man. "My name is Benjamin. I am the pack's doctor. Alpha Blake asked me to check in on you." I nodded, letting him do what he needed to do. As he worked, the doctor filled me in on my condition while examining me but said there was nothing to worry about since I was awake now. Apparently, I had been poisoned by whatever was in Cain's blood when I killed him.
Bri Dominic and I spent the rest of the week together. We both agreed for now, at least, it was just going to be us. My brother wished we would join the pack but understood our decision. Dominic hadn't ever had a good experience with a pack, and I wasn't raised in the pack. We were both used to living life on our terms. And that was how we planned to live. We promised to stay and finish school, and I had plans to go to the nearest college to be an art teacher. That didn't change. So, for now, the town would stay as unclaimed territory while the pack took over the surrounding lands. To my disappointment, the humans dropped the charges on Cody, letting him go. They said it was his word against mine. And since Dominic wasn't seen at the time of the incident, his statement was thrown out as hearsay. Along with that, the people I knew as my parents disappeared. Once Blake ended the contract with them, it was as though they didn't care anymore. I think this hurt more than anything. It was l
