Star Wars: The Clone Wars Domino Squad Novels & Stories

"What are the orders for the hardware, Dom?" "Send three strike teams into the industrial district tonight," Dominic commanded, his voice like iron. "Get that gear out of the dirt before dawn. Put the heavy armor on our frontline guys and route that Swiss cash. I want double pay going to every single man holding a rifle on our block tonight. Move!" Hugo turned on his heel and marched out, the iron door slamming shut. CLANG. Lina hurried to her terminal, her fingers blurring across the mechanical keys. Lina froze. "Dominic, get over here. Look at this."

They were people from the Dark Island. They were holding firearms with fierce looks. The group leader was a man with an afro and a hunting rifle. “I’m Domino, Karina’s subordinate! “How dare you capture K?! “I’m giving you ten minutes! “Release him right now!”

“We’re going to make our own pretty, okay? Together.” She nodded, satisfied, and ran off to find a ribbon. I leaned my forehead to the cool wood of the table and let myself breathe. Dominic came in then, closing the door behind him with the soft click of a man carrying the taste of war. He sat opposite, rubbing his hands together as if he’d scrubbed them raw. “We need a plan,” he said, the words businesslike now. “Clara’s not going to stop testing. She’ll try different ways until one of them works.”

I was taken aback by the takeaway packages that filled the island. “Hello there. Glad you could make it.” Dominic said behind me. When I turned to face him, he had changed into a pair of black jeans and black shirt. And a single gold chain to accesorize . Any ordinary man would have looked like he was about to attend a funeral but Dominic made the outfit look as sexy as hell. I put on my best Sunday smile to cover spreading blush. “I see you went ahead and ordered. What a shame because I was about to whip up something you would never forget.”

“Babies?” “Not your mate, my daughter’s mate. She thought it was twins, because she’s a twin.” Doc said clicking the pen light off and turning the lights back on. “You mean, my sisters are mated to people in your pack?” I asked, biting my lower lip. It felt like fate that I was tied to Marcus and Louis and that they brought here. “Yeah, well I mean Sam and Stolas aren’t members of the pack. Neither is Owen, but it’s different with him.” She said as she went about cleaning the cut at the back of my head and the scrape on my cheek. “What medications are you on?”

Wade Johnson stepped forward. “You can’t buy your way out of this one!” Wade said and took Dominic’s gun from his gloved hands. Dominic let out a hoarse laugh. “You watch too many movies. Go on! Satisfy your kink and see where that takes you,” Dominic said with a confident smirk and offered his wrists to be cuffed. Wade put handcuffs on Dominic and pushed him towards the maingate of the store. His team sneaked out first to make sure there were no threats waiting for them. On their signal, Wade dragged Dominic out and shoved him into the van.

Dominic strode forward, took the mic, and looked out across the sea of faces. “I know many of you were told that I might choose and mark a mate tonight,” he said. The words rang flat and cold, but the room leaned forward anyway. “That will not be happening. I have already found my mate. The council, however, expects me to return with a Luna. If I choose one tonight, she will serve as placeholder, nothing more until the true Luna arrives.” A ripple passed through the guests, equal parts relief and disappointment. He handed the mic back to Roland and stepped away, resisting the urge to roll his eyes. What a farce. The council would be pleased with the performance, at least.

“I will take the elite Gamma force, and Liam will stay here to guard you and the pack. You will stay and strengthen our defense while making sure our children are safe.” Everything he said made sense, though. And no matter how I hated the idea, he had a point. Someone had to defend the pack while he was away. But then I remembered something, as I took one step toward him, trying not to upset him further. “I know you worry about me and the children, Dominic.” I paused and then stared at him in the eyes, as if trying to read what was going on in his mind, since he had been blocking his thoughts since we entered the tunnel. “But I have to go with you. That’s what the Black Claws wanted to relea
