I awoke for the night and found I had a text message from Dominique. She was asking me about the contracts. I texted her back to let her know I would come in and talk with her. While dealing with everything else, I had put the business deal on the back burner. I suppose it would help her get her mind off of other things. This also let me know that she had left my house when she woke up. I went to the club and walked over to our table. Dominique was already sitting down, so I joined her. I smiled, and she smiled back. However, it wasn’t a happy smile, as it didn’t reach her eyes. I wasn’t sure why, but she was nervous. “Good evening, Dominique,” I said as I kissed her hand. “Hi. I wasn’t sure what was going on with the contracts, so I wanted to just clarify some things with you.” “Are you worried that I will back out on you?” I asked. “Well, I wasn’t really sure, so, maybe. I mean, I basically told you I was done as far as the relationship goes until you told me everything. But

Being a vampire had its perks. I compelled the guy I hired to check things out and not to tell anyone but me what he’d found out. He could be my eyes and ears since I couldn’t go out during the day or get close to the wolves. He got some excellent information for me. It seems Jacob was not only a nuisance to me but to wolves in general. It turns out that Jacob had a feud with a neighboring pack. Yes, Jacob was bad news all the way around. Not only had he poached members of the neighboring pack, but he had also moved onto their territory as far as his businesses. Some of his pack members were drug dealers, which was not allowed in the White Moon pack territory. Jacob’s people had been selling drugs there for a long time. The neighboring Alpha had warned Jacob that he would continue to kill his people if he found them, but Jacob hadn’t reigned them in. Every once in a while, he would have his enforcer do something as an example, but then he would let it go after that because it broug

Dominique walked up to me and looked into my eyes. It was almost as if she was looking straight into my soul. She placed her hand on the side of my face and kissed me. When she broke the kiss, she tilted her head and guided my head down to her neck. I hesitated at first but then plunged my fangs into her neck. I began to drink from her. I began to drink deeply when I tasted her blood, and a groan left me. I was going to have her with me forever. But something was wrong. Her blood was wrong. I jerked back as I realized it was not just her blood that I was tasting. Dominique stumbled and gasped in pain. Her hand flew up to her neck to cover the wound, which was still bleeding. I flew into a rage and punched a hole into the wall. Then, I started throwing things around. I had waited so long, so long to finally have her. “Nathaniel! What in the hell is wrong with you?” Dominique yelled. I tried to calm down, but my rage was taking over. I finally had my long-lost love back; now, she w

“So, was she okay with being your eyes and ears during the day? Is that what she truly wanted?” “I will let you speak to her, Nathaniel. If she wishes to tell you, then she will.” “Thank you.” “Nathaniel, how are you?” Veronica asked. “I’m well, Veronica. How are you?” “I’ve been well. I have overheard Barnaby’s side of the conversation. He says that you wish to ask me something. Have you finally found her, Nathaniel?”“Yes, but she is pregnant. I can not ask her to give up her child. She is willing to be with me, but I’m not sure she will be after she thinks about it for a while. I wish to offer this option to her if that is what she decides. However, I want to know what it is like from the human servant’s perspective first,” I replied. “I can understand, Nathaniel. I am very happy for you. I know you have searched for this for a long time. I will tell you that I was terrified of being a human servant at first. When I found out what Barnaby was, I was terrified. I had grown f

“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
