Dominic

My body slammed against the tree as hard as it could. Blood sprayed from my mouth and I swear a bone had cracked. 

“Stop it, Jace!” I heard my mom shout at that son of a bitch. “You’re going to kill him!”

How did she know this fucking bastard? As I got back up, I realized that I was able to control a little bit of movements once more, but Anubis was still around. Boy, was he heated from the powerful force this guy had used against us.

“Tame.” Jace said again, ignoring my mother’s pleading request.   

Anubis’ whimpers filled my head and I could not have felt worse for my wolf.

“I need to tame you.” I told him in my mind.

Anubis: Never…. I will never let you tame me….

Anubis, who was still in control of some of my movements, forced me to charge at Jace. 

“You just don’t learn Anubis.” Jace said. “If I hit you again, you will be put back.”

Anubis: Fuck you, Jace!

Once near him, I began attacking him as much as I could, but this dude was good. He had dodged every one of my attacks, but he would come back with a punch of his own. Each blow that connected to me did a lot of damage and the one hit that connected to my stomach did the most. I heard more footsteps coming as I bent over, gagging. I felt like I was going to throw up and everything.

“So, nobody is going to stop this?” I heard London ask.

“Shut up, London!” Seth shouted, coming over to everybody as well. “Come on, Dominic!”

Anubis: I don’t want nobody to tame me!

Hearing my wolf say that, I can understand because that’s exactly what I felt when I was in the pack. I didn’t want to follow anybody’s rules. I wanted to be my own person and have my own rules, so hearing him say that to me, I could understand. But, if I did not tame him, what would I do with him? He’d be a disobedient wolf that I would not be able to bring out because of his lust for true control.

“Dominic!” Jace shouted at me.

“We need to do something.” I whispered to Anubis. “If we can’t, this dude will fucking kill us.”

Anubis: Nobody said Jace was a weak vampire. To be honest, I don’t think I have any more strength to fight him. If your lazy ass vampire side woke up, this could’ve all been avoided.

I sat up, completely confused. What did he mean by my vampire side? I’m only a werewolf, I’m not a vampire. I never been one and I will never be one.

Anubis: You mean, you never found out? Wow, your mom needs to tell you the truth then.

The pain in my stomach subsided and I leaned back up, but I turned my attention to my mother. 

“I need you to go back, Anubis.” I whispered to him, my eyes still on my mother. 

Anubis: Fuck no! Don’t start telling me what to do just because we had one small conversation.

“Please?” I asked him. “We need to talk later or something about this because if this continues, you and I will never have a good relationship.”

Anubis growled and a second later, my wolf form disappeared. I could never be any happier, but the night wasn’t over. I needed answers and I needed answers now. I was back to my human form and I could never feel any better. I looked between my mom and Jace, trying to put two and two together. Why did this motherfucker come to help my mom? Vampires and wolves do not get along, so we stay clear of one another. But Jace, he’s a different one. He came to my mother’s aide and that’s very unusual.

“He calmed down.” Dante said as he shifted back into his regular form.

“Dom?” Seth called my name.

I ignored him, my eyes were glued to my mother and she stared back at me with complete sadness. Knowing that she knew what the true cause of me not being able to shift hurts, but it irritated me more than anything. 

“Dom-.” Mom started talking, but I shut that shit down with the wave of my finger. 

This hurt me because I know they all knew about it. My family, the people I thought I could trust, hid this information from me and I had to hear it from my own fucking wolf.

“Dominic, let me explain please.” Mom begged. 

“I take it he doesn’t know what he is?” Jace asked, turning his attention to my mother. “I told you to tell him.”

“What does it have to do with you?!” I shouted at Jace, glaring at him and my mother. “And how do you know my fucking name?!”

“Well, isn’t this a fucking surprise.” I heard my Aunt Nancy say as she walked over to join us with Janelle by her side.

“Where’s Trinity?” Seth asked.

“Mason is attending to her.” Janelle answered. “We had to take her to the house because of high chances of infection.”

“She’s in a coma.” Aunt Nancy said with her hands on her hip. “You need to be by her side.”

I looked at her and nodded before turning back to mom and Jace.

“Since everybody is here, now is the time to tell him, Niecy.” Aunt Nancy told my mom. “He’s going to be mad, but at least you told him.”

I crossed my arms in front of my chest, glaring at my mother still. I wanted to know everything she had to tell because this shit is fucking crazy.

“What am I?” I asked her.  

She hesitated; a heavy sigh escaped her lips as she turned her attention to the ground.

“You’re not fully a wolf, Dominic.” She finally said. “You’re actually part vampire as well.”

“Wow!” I shouted, causing her to jump. “Just fucking wow, mom!"

“Calm down, Dominic.” Seth told me and my head snapped his way, angry with his ass as well. “She didn’t know how to tell you.”

“How to fucking tell me?!!” I screamed at him. “ALL THIS TIME, I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING FUCKING WRONG WITH ME AND YOU MOTHERFUCKERS KNEW THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME!!!”  

My blood was boiling hot. I was beyond mad, but no matter how loud I got nobody said nothing. I groaned with irritation before directing my attention to Jace.  

“And who the hell are you?!” I shouted at him. 

“He’s your…” Mom started and again I shut her up.

“Fuck you!” I shouted at her. “I’m done talking to you!”

“Dominic, watch your mouth!” Dante shouted at me. “Regardless of how mad you are, you don’t disrespect the mother who birthed and raised you!”

“To be honest, he has the right to be mad.” Aunt Nancy said, stepping up to the side of me. 

“You shut your mouth, Nancy, and stay the fuck out of this!” Mom shouted.

“Why, you might as well lay it all on the fucking table.” She said.

“What are you talking about?” Janelle asked her. “Seth, what’s going on?”

Aunt Nancy stood in between us, turning her attention to me. “You weren’t raised by your mother, Dom. Your mother didn’t want anything to do with you because of the fact of what you were.”

“That’s not fucking true!” Mom shouted. “I loved my children more than anything, Nancy!”

“Yeah, you loved Seth and Janelle.” Aunt Nancy corrected her. 

“That’s not true.” Seth said, getting closer to me. “We were all kept together.”

“That’s because I made you guys close.” Aunt Nancy stated the facts. “If I didn’t, you guys and Dominic wouldn’t even be this close.”           

Mom didn’t say anything else after that, which meant that Aunt Nancy was stating true facts. She looked at me with nothing but sadness. Even Jace looked over at her like the fuck. I nodded my head, keeping the tears that clouded my eyes from falling down my face.

“I know this isn’t true, mother.” Seth said, turning his attention to mom. “Because you don’t have nobody to blame, but yourself.”

“I know.” Mom agreed with Seth. “And I feel bad about it.”

Lifting my head up to the sky, I blinked the tears away as quickly as I could. This shit was getting to be too much for me. I just wanted to leave, go my own separate way. However, I couldn't do that with a new pack I had just created. One thing I won’t do is leave people behind, I’ll become better than the people who thought so little of me. I looked over at Jace, who turned his attention back to me.

“So, what are you to me?” I asked him, not giving a damn. “Are we even family or you just someone who knows this fucked up family.”

“He’s the guy who created you, Dom.” Janelle said. 

I chuckled before I turned and walked off. I didn’t need to be around this shit. This was too much and it was also giving me a migraine just gaining all this new information. As I headed back to the area where James’ body laid, I seen that Triniti was nowhere around. I looked down at the ground where she was and all I could see was her blood on the grass.

This scene alone caused me to panic because since everything that was going on, she was not on my mind like she should have been. I heard rustling behind me, and I turned to see Jace headed my way.

“What do you want?” I asked him, not happy to see his face. “You came to tell me not to be mad at my mother and shit like that?”

“Not at all.” He said and I just shook my head before looking around to find out where Trinity went. “She’s at your mom house.”

I turned to him and he tilted his head in the direction of where I needed to go. Sighing, we both headed over to the house. The walk there was inaudible since there was nothing for us to talk about. I just found out this dude was my father and as much as I wanted to grill him about being absent, that was going to have to wait. As we got closer to my mom’s house, a sound came from inside that caused both of us to stop walking.

“You hear that?” I asked him. 

“Yeah, I do.” He told me.

I had to hear it one more time to make sure that my suspicions were right. “Wahhhh!” The noise came again, but louder this time from my house. I swear my heart skipped a beat when I recognized the constant cries coming from inside.

“Let’s go.” Jace said and without hesitation, the both of us rushed to the house.

I walked into the house and saw Triniti on the couch, being sewed up by Mason. My head turned to both sides, wondering where the kids are. I heard their cries coming from the back room.

“Holy shit,” I gasped. “They’re alive?”

“Why wouldn’t they be?” Mason asked, his eyes squinted at me.

“Because you touched them.”

Mason and Jace chuckled and I stared at the two, wondering what was funny.

“That curse that is supposed to be upon the wolves?” Jace asked. “It’s only for other male wolves. It’s not for humans or vampires.”

“Oh.”

My attention turned to Triniti, laid out on the couch. Her dress was covered in blood and there was a huge cut where her stomach was. There was a monitor that connected to her, making sure everything was straight.

“How is she?” I asked Mason.

“She’s stable, but she had lost a lot of blood from the twins.” Mason sighed. “She’s going to need blood if she wants to survive this.”

“How long?” Jace asked.

 “Two hours, top.” Mason told me. “So, I suggest you tell your Aunt.”

“I’ll be here,” Jace said. “Go ahead and handle your business, but when you get back, we need to talk.”

I nodded before I turned and rushed out the house. I saw Janelle and Seth headed this way with the rest of the pack members, but I did not stop to communicate with them. Instead, I rushed over to where I heard Aunt Nancy and mom, shouting at each other.

“IT DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER, NANCY!!” Mom shouted at Aunt Nancy. “YOU LIKE RUNNING YOUR MOUTH! I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU!”

I stopped running and walked to the two women. Aunt Nancy and mom looked at me, waiting for me to say something.

“He’s here,” Aunt Nancy said to my mom. “Now, tell him if you feel so damn bad about it.”

I looked at my mother, waiting to hear what she wanted to tell me. I did not have anything to say to her, but I’m not going to stop her from telling me what was on her mind.

“Dominic,” Mom said. “I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am. At the time, I didn’t know what I was thinking. I was so tired of being judged by everybody in this pack.”

“You know,” I said to her. “To be honest, I would stay here and chat with you, but I have a family that needs me.”

The look on her face said it all, she was upset. I do not understand why since this was her fault to begin with. I loved the hell out of my mom, but right now, my love for her has ceased. I directed my attention over to my Aunt, who was staring at me the whole time.

“Mason says Triniti needs a blood transfusion,” I said.

“Okay, let’s go,” Aunt Nancy said. “Go check on your grandkids, Niecy.”

Mom did not say anything. She looked at her sister before she walked away from the both of us. I watched my mother disappear before I turned my attention over to Aunt Nancy.

“I understand you’re mad at your mother,” She stated. “But she is still the one who birthed you. Show some respect, Nephew.”

“I’ll try,” I said. “It’s not going to be easy.”

“You did it before.”

“Yeah, but even that was hard since I noticed the attitude, she carried every time we spoke.”

She put her arm around me, and we walked back to the house.

“We’ll take Mason’s truck.” She said.

“Wait!” I heard London shout behind us.

Aunt Nancy looked at me before she removed her arm from around me and walked off. I sighed before I turned to London. She stood in front of me and we just stared at each other for the longest time.

“What am I supposed to do?” She asked me.

“What do you mean?” I asked her.

“I need a pack now. You killed off everybody from the McCallan pack.”

My arms crossed in front of my chest once again. I would add her to the pack, but the way her and Trinity do not get along, I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

“Let me in your pack.” She begged me.

“No, my girl doesn’t like you.” I told her. “You and her have problems every time you guys see each other.”

“I promise, my feelings for you are no longer there. Please, I don’t want to be by myself.”

I looked at her and she stared at me with pleading eyes. She was my best friend, so how could I say no?

“Fine, but I have to talk to Seth and Dante about it.” I told her. “Do you have a place to stay?”

“Yes, I do. I’ll be at my parents.”

“I’ll let you know what’s up. Go home for now.”

She turned and walked off. When she disappeared, I continued towards Mason’s truck, where my Aunt Nancy was.
