I looked up when I heard Dominique coming down the hall. When I saw her, I had to school myself to be blank. But that didn’t stop me from looking her over, knowing she had nothing on under that towel. My hunger for her was intense tonight. Finally, I looked up and saw her lips curve into a smile. So she had seen me looking at her and figured out what I was thinking anyway. “I put the clothes for you in the dresser in the room you always stay in.” “Okay. I’ll change in a bit. I’ll just eat first since I’m already here anyway.” “I can’t tell if you are trying to tease me by staying wrapped in only a towel or if you genuinely just want to eat first.” “Maybe it’s both,” Dominique laughed. She sat down and started eating the sandwich I had made for her. The way she was eating, I was sure she was still hungry after the first sandwich, so I made her another one. She began to eat as my phone rang. I looked at the number and frowned. I wasn’t sure who it was. I excused myself and walked

“Nathaniel, I want to be with you. I chose you, but I can’t give my life up because of the baby. You were right when you said I would choose the baby over you. I will in the sense that I’m not going to let you turn me while I’m pregnant. I’ve thought about this and don’t want to miss out on my baby’s life. I just don’t think I can become a creature of the night and not be able to see all the things my child will do during the day. I’m willing to do this later on when my child is older, but then I will be older too, and I don’t know if I want to look like that while you stay looking so young.” “Dominique, you do not have to make a decision right now. However, I will give you another option I did not intend to give you. I can make it to where you will never age. You can still be killed, but you will be harder to hurt. You will still be alive and able to do everything you do now because you will still be human. My only question is, are you still willing to choose me, or are you reconsi

I awoke the next night and still felt Dominique and Tim in the house. I was glad they hadn’t left. I still wasn’t particularly fond of Tim being in my home, but he could protect Dominique when I couldn’t. Having a busted-up wolf to protect you was better than nothing. By now, he should be almost completely healed with the level of power I felt from him last night. I grabbed my phone and was preparing to head upstairs when I looked at the screen. I had a voicemail from Nicholas. I listened to it and began to scramble up the steps. This was not good. I moved towards the room just as I heard Dominique asking Tim not to go and saying she would talk to me about it. “No one is leaving,” I said as I entered the room. I saw Dominique in Tim’s lap and frowned. She had asked me what I would do if she spent her life with Tim, but I had hoped she would change her mind. I was tired of waiting for her to come to me, but if it came to her leaving me altogether, I would have to wait. Dominique m

Dominique pressed into me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I landed on the ground and started to run. I knew my speed would affect Dominique, but there was nothing for it now. We had to move as the wolves were howling as they came after us. I picked up my speed as I felt the wolf gaining on us when another wolf rammed it into the ground out of nowhere. I was thankful. Nicholas’s wolves were fighting. “Nicholas said some of his wolves were already here. They must be trying to keep Jacob’s pack at bay. I do not believe many here belong to Nicholas, but hopefully, it will be enough for me to get you to safety.” “Nathaniel, you must put me down and get out of here. I’m slowing you down. It can’t be easy to run while carrying my weight.” “I’m not leaving you, Dominique. But, if something happens to you, I won’t be able to live with it or without you. So, if I should die today, I will die happy as I was able to have my second chance with the woman I loved,” I said as I looked at he

“Dominique, open your eyes, and look at me right now!” I yelled at her.Dominique opened her eyes and looked right into mine. I was so angry that I couldn’t contain it. I wanted her to see it. I wanted her to be afraid of me at that moment. I needed her to listen to me and do what I said. I had enough anger to kill all the wolves after what she had just done. “I have to fight. I saw Nicholas’ pack not too long ago. They should be in the fight now. The only wolf I see right now is Jacob. I’m going to leave you here. I will hurt you if you even attempt to jump off this limb or move. Do you understand me?” “Y-yes,” Dominique stammered. I let her slowly lower herself onto the tree limb while holding on to me. Once she was sitting on it with her hands planted firmly on the tree limb, I jumped to the next limb and saw Jacob turn his attention to me. I smiled as I jumped to another tree. That irritated Jacob. He may want Dominique, but he wanted me more. He ran after me as I jumped onto

I woke up to find myself in a dark room. My body was tired, and I needed blood. I slowly moved into a sitting position and realized I was on a bed in some hospital room. I didn’t see any windows whatsoever. I smelled a faint trace of wolf. I assumed I was in a werewolf hospital. I wasn’t sure how long I had been here. I moved off the bed and immediately hit the floor as my body was wracked with pain. I lay there for hours before finally mustering the strength to crawl towards the door. I banged on it with everything I had, but no one came. I called out but heard nothing in response. I thought Nicholas and I had a truce. Why was he doing this to me? I lay there for what seemed like days. I didn’t even die for the day. What was happening? I could feel myself going mad. I heard voices from the past. I started seeing images from my past. They were so real, and I began to talk to Rose. I kept reliving my death and the anger I felt toward Rose. My body was breaking down without blood t

I pulled back and began to feel pain in my side and stomach. I doubled over, and my knees hit the floor. Nicholas stepped back as I screamed in pain. My wounds were starting to close at a rapid rate. My body was re-knitting itself from the inside out, and it was a horrible pain. Without blood for the past two days, my body had not dealt with the damage Jacob had caused. My body was on fire. Dominique’s body began to jerk, and I realized her body was going through the same pain as mine. What had I done? I had sealed her fate and bound her to me without her permission. I had only felt angry at her for leaving me for Tim in my haze. I hadn’t been able to snap out of it. She was pregnant. Could the baby survive the torment that was happening to my body right now? Would her body allow it? As I healed, I slumped on the ground as the pain roared through me. I saw Nicholas walk over to Dominique and hold her body down. After ten minutes, I was finally healed. I lay on the ground for a fe

The next night when I awoke, I felt for Dominique. She was asleep, so I went into her mind. I created a dream world for her so we could talk and she could see me. I wasn’t sure if it would be easier for her or not. I hoped she had gotten over her anger, but I was sure she would have it for a long time. I created a room with a bed covered with black, gossamer curtains. I laid down and sent the dream to her. Dominique walked up to the bed and pulled the curtain back. “Nathaniel? Where are we? And how did we get here?” Dominique asked. “We are in your dream, my love. I came to you like this as I did not think you would want to see me. Don’t worry. Nothing bad can happen to you here,” I said as I stood up. I walked over and enveloped her in my arms. I felt the sadness taking me over and knew I was projecting it. I felt her hug me as the pull between us became more forceful. I kissed her cheek and put my head on top of hers. I just wanted to hold her for a minute more. “Dominique, I
