MasukA roar split the air, and for a moment, I thought it came from my own throat before I heard gasping behind me and realized that it was Dominic. I looked up through blurred vision and saw him standing over Gareth’s body. The rogue wasn’t moving. His throat was torn out, his one good eye staring blank
Ellie’s POVI couldn’t move.My mother was on the ground with a lake of blood pooling beneath her, and all I could do was fucking stand there and stare.Dominic’s grip on my arm vanished. He shifted mid-stride and launched himself at Gareth, who did the same. The two collided in the air, fur and fle
Ellie’s POVDominic shifted back to human form and stood there for a moment, chest heaving, just staring at me. His face was pale, drained of all color save for the red blood staining his skin. He looked like he’d bee nthrough hell. I supposed I looked much the same.“Ellie,” he said in a raw voice.

Dominic POV By the time lunch rolls around, I already know I’m in a bad mood.That’s not unusual. I’m almost always in a bad mood these days. Comes with the job. Comes with the blood. Comes with being the one everyone looks to when something goes wrong.What is unusual is that I know exactly why I’
Dominic POV The teams flash up on the boards the instructor says them, and I barely need a second to read mine.All I could think about was the per-requst.Ellie requested me?I smirk.
