Esther

My eyes dart to the door, where my nose is registering two scents, and then I glance back at Dominic, who looks like he is trying to move, but there’s an invisible force that is stopping him from moving.

“Go!” Dominic whispers, but I can’t leave him. “Esther, go. It’s going to get ugly.”

The door flings open, and my uncle throws himself in, followed by Louis.

“He was in here the whole time?” Louis looks hurt and betrayed, which makes me feel guilty. “That’s why you didn’t want to let me in?” He glares at Dominic.

“Louis…” I trail off.

“Reject him,” Uncle Felix says, finally reminding us that he is in the room. His face is unreadable. “Reject him,” he repeats.

“Huh?”

“I would like you to reject Dominic.” His voice is all fake politeness.

“Right now?” I fidget with my hands.

“Yes, right now,” he frowns. “What kind of question is that? Do you want to set a date and cook a celebration dinner for the day you reject him? It can be arranged if you want.”

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Dominic's Confusing Questions

    EstherI'm sitting in the center of my bed, my arms around my knees, and I can't stop crying. I’m trying to think of a reason I feel this way. There’s this emptiness in me that I can’t explain, but I shrug it off as the loss of my family that I’m experiencing. It has been over 300 years, but this is new to me since I just woke up.I sigh at the irritating sound of the knock on the window. I already know who it is through the scent. When I finally open, Dominic gracefully throws himself into the room.“I’m back,” he grins.“My heart is overflowing with joy,” I glare at him.“I know,” he beams, and it transforms his face. I look away to try to get rid of the mental image, to remind myself that I’m married.“What are you doing here? You might get caught.”“You care about me?” He places a hand on his chest in mock surprise.“No,” I roll my eyes. “What do you want?”“My wolf thought we should see our mate. The least you could do is say hi.”“Leave.”“Okay,” he nods.I eye him expectantly,

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Talking To Jane

    Jane “Jane, what was that?” Dominic's tone is gentle but firm. “I don’t trust them. Okay? If by some miracle you and Esther ended up together…” “Given the way you hate me these days," he interjects. "I’m surprised that you were rooting for us when we were human.” I glare at him for his dramatic words. “You know how realistic I am, Dominic, and when we were human, the chances of our family accepting your relationship with Esther were pretty low, but I knew that it was possible for you two to be happy together. Right now it's different…” “How is it different right now?” “Do you think that if you two were together, the werewolves, witches and warlocks would jump with joy? You are a hybrid, Dominic, and Esther is a vampire. The werewolves can’t let you two rule. It will be like letting vampires take over.” “I can let all that go if she wants to be with me,” he protests. “I never wanted to be a Lycan king, anyway.” “Do you think they would let you? They might kill her to…” “I almo

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   New Uncle

    Esther“Uncle,” I look from Uncle Felix to Louis, guilt gnawing at me. “I couldn’t do it.” I shake my head.“Not this again,” Uncle Felix mumbles under his breath.“Again?” I ask, confused.“Yes, again!” He snaps. “You do this every damn time! What was your reason for not rejecting him this time around?”“I, I just couldn’t do it.”“I can’t do this,” he says, getting up and pacing the room, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I can’t deal with any of it. I wish I were the one who had died so that your parents would be the ones to deal with this mess. Being responsible for someone as selfish as you is tiring.”“I will reject him.” I don’t care about the desperation in my voice. It’s hard to see my uncle’s opinion of me changing and him losing his trust in me. “I just need a little time and patience...”“I’ve been patient long enough,” he hits the table. Louis and I get out of the way in time. We watch the table crumble, causing the dishes and plates to scatter on the floor, some of them

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Tense

    HildaWe decided to stay in a hotel in London to avoid letting other pack members get attacked by Felix’s army. We are all silent and pacing back and forth in the living room of the penthouse when the elevator doors open and Alpha Dominic walks out of the elevator, his face marred with a look I cannot describe. “Dominic!” Jane rushes to his side. “Goodness! You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”“I might as well have.” He looks down at her. I’ve never seen Alpha Dominic like this before. It almost scares me. He looks broken and helpless. “You saw her,” Jane says. “I met her,” Alpha Dominic nods. “We are too late.”“We will find it,” Valerie says to him. He doesn’t reply. Instead, he sinks into the couch and glances at Aiden, who is sitting on another couch. Aiden’s eyes drop.“Don’t feel guilty, Aiden,” Alpha Dominic says gently. “I shouldn’t have left her,” Aiden says in a low voice. “I was supposed to protect...”“They would’ve killed you!” Alpha Dominic interjects. “I’m glad that

  • Old Souls: Vampire Princess Vs The Last Lycan   Bad Decisions

    EstherI’m the one who stands on my tiptoes, and I wrap my arms around his neck. He kisses me back, but then I pull away. This feels wrong, even as I try to justify it by saying to myself that I’m doing this to distract him and weaken his defences. “I’m sorry,” he says. “No, I’m the one who kissed you first.”He puts his arms around my shoulders, holding me and kissing the top of my head. I don’t make any effort to move away. He is the first to let go. Then, he places his index finger under my chin and looks into my eyes. “What are you doing?” I try to snarl at him, but it comes out as a whisper. “Looking at you.” His eyes are dark, and there’s no smile on his lips. I have to kill him before it’s too late. He might be putting a spell on me through his beautiful eyes. I kiss him hungrily. He kisses me back, his hands on my waist, and I place my hands on his chest, ready to use this opportunity to get it over with. He doesn’t seem to mind, he pulls me closer. I have no idea how my
