~Dominic~

I hit the bag again, watching it swing back and forth. I don’t usually mess with the bags; hell, I’m not even really into boxing. I’ve just been feeling a bit overwhelmed and needed to get it out in some kind of way.

Self reflection. That seems to be the crux of what I’m doing these days. I reflect on all of the mistakes I made. I reflect on how I changed after Aston disappeared. In some places, the change was gradual. I’d let time chip at my morals and my limitations. I told myself that King was coming into his own, and he needed me to be a certain way to stand by his side. I somewhat reinvented myself in order to be able to stand with him and support him.

At some point in the midst of that, I became someone I didn’t need to be. I became someone who ignored others' feelings and pushed forward with whatever I wanted to do. Well, not what I wanted, but what King expected of me.

I suck in a breath and go at the bag much harder, keeping up a fast pace. “Did the bag offend yo

    ~Unknown~My arms wrap around my body as it shivers. I swear this sleeping bag is useless. It does nothing to shield me from the elements. I wish I were in a better, more comfortable place. I wish I were with Khalid. I still don’t know how my brother is, and it’s eating me alive. I need to see him just to quiet my erratic thoughts. I want to beg and plead, but I know it will fall on deaf ears. “I guess you have decided not to give me a chance.” My breath catches. I didn’t even realize that he had come into the tent. Now that I’m paying attention, his disgusting scent is burning my nose and throat. I swear I don’t think anyone could smell worse, but then there are always rogues. I shift in the bag, not expecting my position to get any better. I can only hope that he doesn’t invade my space like last time. I’ve made my decision, and no amount of pressure is going to change it. I just want to do this last job and leave here with my brother. I feel his presence more as he gets closer.

    ~Dominic~The past two weeks have been great and that’s no exaggeration. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t like Katarina and I are best friends now. It hasn’t been that deep, that quickly. We have found an in-between that works for us, so I can’t be mad about that. I’ve spent more time with the entire family rather than just with Aston and Skye. It’s been wonderful seeing their family dynamics up close, but it’s also hurt like hell. It’s just another reminder that I have no one. I don’t have my fated mate and I don’t even know if she would accept me when I do find her. I sigh and walk into Aston’s office, plopping down on his couch. “Uh oh. What’s up?” I let my head lean back, and close my eyes. “Nothing’s wrong. Did you send out the wedding invites yet?” I feel the couch dip next to me, but I don’t move. “Of course I did. I did it a few days ago. I’m sure we will be getting responses any day now.”“I had to check. You’re the one who was dragging your feet. Your mate would have your he

    ~Brackston~I tighten my fist, really wanting to punch something. I make it to the edge of my camp and shift into my wolf. Khan is just as angry and frustrated as I am. I let him have complete control and watch as the forest zips by. Khan avoids all low branches, as well as any rocks or logs in our path. I let my mind wander back to the conversation we just had, and I get even angrier. Khan comes to a stop and gives me control over our body. I shift back and find my right hand, Teddy Hill, waiting for me. He has a hoodie and sweatpants slung over his shoulder. I grab the clothes from him and put them on. I turn and walk in the direction of the packhouse. Thought I was a rogue, huh? Nah, I’m not even close to one. Those at the camp think I’m a rogue; they even think I’m their leader. I am that, a leader. I do give them instructions here and there, but that’s not the only place I have. I wear a scent that dampers my pack smell. “Well?” I feel Teddy’s presence behind me, and I wish h

    ~Unknown~I have no idea how long it’s been, how long I’ve been in this tent. I lost count as my hunger took over. I’ve barely been given anything to eat or drink. Brackston says that it needs to be believable. I can’t say that I have any idea what he’s talking about. I don’t even know what the supposed plan is supposed to be. I just know that I’m here, suffering, and I’m missing my brother like crazy. I’ve been begging to see him, begging for any updates. I get nothing. Sometimes, depending on who’s in here with me, I’ll get a kick or a slap for my trouble. I don’t even have anything to threaten anyone with. I’m already being denied food and water, for the most part. I’m already being held against my will. There’s nothing I can leverage. Then there is Brackston. Brackston comes in here from time to time, and it’s getting harder to stay away from him. He keeps asking me if I’ve thought about his proposal. What the hell does he expect me to say? Does he really think that I’m going t

    When we get there, I don’t sit and neither does Dominic. He leans against a tree, staring at the forest floor. I pace a little, not really knowing how to get this started.I know this was my idea, and I stand behind it. I guess I didn't think it all the way through. I'm not sure what to say to him right now. Most of the images in my mind are from two years ago. I have some from before that, when we were in school. It isn't fair to still hold him to that standard since we aren't there anymore. It isn't fair to constantly try to make him pay for who he used to be. I have to meet him on this new level. I close my eyes and try to calm myself. I’ve made it this far, so we should go ahead and press forward. “I brought you out here so we could talk.” I look at Dominic and watch as he lifts his head and nods while placing his eyes on me. “I figured that we would come to this at some point.” I let out a dry chuckle. “Yeah, I’ve been dragging my feet.”“I’d completely understand if you never
