I used to be an artist

Jace offers to give me a tour around their house after breakfast. They own a pretty big chunk of land, and most of it is covered by woods. I just wonder why anyone would want to be surrounded by a forest. Maybe it could be the love for nature or the need to be away from the noisy town. It must have cost them a fortune.
"Are your parents the ones who bought this land?" I inquire from Jace who is walking beside me.
"No. I bought it," he replies.
"It must have cost you a pretty sum," I say.
"It did," he says with a small smile. I wonder how much more Jace owns. He must be very wealthy. Where does he get all this money? Perhaps he inherited it from his parents.
"What do you do for a living?" I can't stop myself from asking this time. He looks thoughtful for a moment.
"I used to be an artist," he replies with a coy smile, which is immediately replaced by a thoughtful expression. That is in past tense.
"And then what happened?" I

Awakening Dominance Amy has been kidnapped
JaceI have been checking through my old stuff looking for any remaining artwork that I forgot to throw away. I only find two paintings which I keep in the drawer of my dresser. I hope Amy will like them. I had no idea she had any kind of interest in art. Amy never seizes to amaze me. She even got me thinking about doing art again!It is almost three o'clock when my wolf starts getting restless. Something has awoken him from his sleep."Calm down buddy," I try to soothe him but it only makes him worse. I try to ignore the feeling and head down stairs.Sophia has gone in town to get some groceries. Jose and Jordan have gone out somewhere. The house is very quiet when I reach down stairs. There is usually some noise or something clicking in the kitchen.Events of last weekend come unfiltered in my mind reminding me of my beautiful woman and the way she interacted with my family. My wolf kicks in pain and I yelp with the sudden infliction
Awakening Dominance The Unbelievable Truth
AmyMy body aches everywhere and my eyelids are heavy. I can't even open them and bring myself to see anything. I can hear footsteps, probably people are walking past me or ...with me? Wait a minute? Where am? A sound of a car door closing comes from behind me. Was I in a car? Driving with who?A faint memory of a huge bald man pushing his way into my apartment appears in my mind and immediately open my eyes. The first thing I see is a bushy stubble beard and a long dirty blond hair. Who is this man? Arms are wrapped around my body, like I am being carried.Get off me! I want to scream but I can't bring my mouth to open. I can't lift my hands to push him away and neither can I kick my legs. I feel numb. What happened to me?Green evil eyes meet mine."She is awake," he announces, and I look around to see who he could be talking to."She is?" a stronger voice that I recognize sounds from behind him. I look behind and see the bald hulk w
Awakening Dominance The rescue plan
JaceEveryone is in the living room pacing about, even the heavily pregnant Alexa. There is no one settled at the moment. Amy has been gone for more than five ours, and my wolf has been very patient not to burst out and attack the Redclaw pack territory. I also want to run out of here but it would be equally useless to make an entrance without a clear plan."Damn it!" I curse under my breath."Calm down, Jace. We all know what you are going through right now. No wolf would settle down when their mate is in danger," Jordan says while patting on my shoulder. I am trying to calm down but it is very hard."Amy has been gone for hours now, and you expect me to calm down!" I don't want to shout but I can't help it. I know it is not their fault and they are trying very hard to help."I am so sorry. I am just worried about Amy. I have no idea how she is or if Dwayne has hurt her," I say while running my hands through my hair and tugging at the roots.
Awakening Dominance Dear Luna
AmyThe room that I have been locked up in is so strange. It has no windows, I think it is in the middle of the house. It is so freaking cold and the bed in the centre of the small room has no bedspreads. I know I am in no position to judge a small room because my bedroom is no bigger, but I feel suffocated in here.The men who brought me in here just dumped me on the bed and walked out. There never gave me a warning to not make any sounds. Maybe because they knew it was useless.When I heard them lock the door on their way out, I hurriedly got off the bed and tried opening the door. They had to make sure I didn't escape. I hit the door and screamed for someone to help me but it was all in vain. I gave up after some good time of shouting and hitting the door. I think the room is sound proof so nobody even heard me.Now my throat feels sore and my hands are paining because of hitting them on the door too hard. I sit leaning against the door and facing the
Awakening Dominance Facing Dwayne
JaceI am face to face with the most hated individual of my life. The nightmare I have always loathed is happening right now. My life is on the verge of being ruined completely. My family has put itself in danger so as to find my soulmate and get her out of here. I can't let them down and let Dwayne defeat me. I am going to do this for the people that I love most."What do you want from me, Dwayne?" I inquire from him for the fifth time since I reached here. He chuckles and shakes his head slightly, a habit I have always hated about him."You have everything, you know. You already took everything from me. Why take Amy? She has nothing to do with us. Let her go," my voice keeps raising as I talk to this irritating jerk."First of all, you are in no position to tell me what to do. Second of all, I am not letting the human girl go," he says.What the f**k!"I thought you wanted me. Here I am. Now let the girl go," I shout at him. I
Awakening Dominance Meeting the pack trainer
AmyMs. Jenny, Sophia and I sneak out of the castle through the back way like thieves. Once outside, I look around the place and it is stunningly beautiful. The sun is going down and the view is amazing over the houses. It looks like a paradise village. The houses are organised in a pattern that gives the settlement an amazing look."Wow! Who knew this place could even exist?" I mutter mostly to myself but Sophia hears me and chuckles."You even have time to judge the appearance of the place?" she asks me with a playful smile on her face."It is so beautiful here that I can't fail to appreciate the fact," I tell her and she rolls her eyes. I want to laugh loop but my stomach feels so we empty. I think it has even coiled inwards. If I were in normal circumstances, I would have got my phone and taken a quick picture."Let's go now before they realize you are missing," Ms. Nelly says while getting hold of my hand.We walk through the the settle
Awakening Dominance Fight me like a real man
JaceThe rowdy guards come back inside without Amy. I briefly sigh with relief knowing that they haven't been able to find her. I hope Sophia managed to get her out of this place. Now all I have to worry about is Jose, Patrick and Jordan. Ellen is in the great hall with me. She looks very strong. She is must be more determined than I thought."Tell me!" Dwayne orders the guards who look very breathless. They must have done a lot of running around."Sir. We searched around the castle but we couldn't find her," one of them responds."Damn it!" he roars and throws a decorative flowerpot off the windowsill infront of him. It lands on the floor with a deafening sound as it cracks into pieces. I could have laughed at seeing Dwayne throwing a fist because he has lost."Quit it, Dwayne. You are never going to have Amy. She is too smart for your idiotic pranks," I tell him with a smirk. The look on his face now is something I would pay a fortune to se
Awakening Dominance Choosing the right side
AmyA very loud howl comes out from the woods in the direction of the castle. An equally loud growl follows the howl, making my heart pound louder. We immediately stop walking and I look at Nelly who looks very worried."What is going on?" I inquire."That is Alpha Dwayne's howl. He is trying to communicate that there is danger in the castle and the entire pack should go and defend him," Nelly replies. I look at the pack of warriors behind me wondering if they are going to choose to .defend their current Alpha or their rightful Alpha."But we know what we want. We have already chosen the side we want to fight for and we aren't going to change our minds," Menny assures me."We must hurry. I think they have started to fight," he adds, and we start running. the wolves just glide through the woods. I, however, keep stumbling over my own feet. Nelly keeps helping me to run without falling. I don't understand why she should bother trying to help me inste

Awakening Dominance Epilogue
TWO YEARS LATER Amy I finally dash down the stairs after staying in the bathroom for almost half an hour staring at the results of the pregnancy test. I am afraid that I might be too excited and this may be a fake result. For all the two years of being married to Jace, we have been trying to get pregnant. After the first year of so much trying and disappointments, I gave up hope of having a baby with Jace. Everything has been going great in our marriage and the entire pack, but one thing has been lacking. Jace has always convinced me that it doesn't matter if we have a baby or not but I would notice how he looked at parents around the castle. Jose and Sophia had their first child, Bella last year. Patrick and Alexa's boy is almost two years now. There are so many kids around this place and it hurts being the only one unable to have one. Reaching downstairs, I find Jace and Jose giving instructions to the engineer who is handling the construction of Pack's hospital. Jace is plannin
Awakening Dominance Surprise Visit
Amy Today is Jace's coronation day. It is also my coronation but it is mainly Jace's. I am so happy for him. Today is the day he will officially become the Alpha of the Redclaw pack. I see him growing stronger and more hopeful every day that I wake up by his side. Saying that I moved in with him is an understatement of the fact that I can't even leave his side. Our love for each other grows stronger and stronger each morning. Most of my things are still in my apartment. I haven't even made up my mind to go and collect them. Most of the things that I am using are new: the clothes, the shoes, almost everything. I want to go back to my apartment sometime next week and pick up my laptop. I want to continue doing my job and catch up with the things I have lagged on. Jace told me there is no need for me to work, but I still insisted on doing my job. I love my job and it doesn't demand a lot from me. I know I will always save time to sit down and edit some articles. I slowly remove Jace'
Awakening Dominance Alpha Coronation ceremony
JaceTHREE WEEKS LATERThe Redclaw pack is once again in jubilation. The castle has been decorated to its maximum. All kinds of foods and drinks have filled the castle kitchen. I wonder if we will be able to finish all of it. Very long guest lists have been made. Some invited packs I have never heard of, but ofcourse Alpha Daniel of the Half moon pack is the first on the invite list. I wouldn't risk my life to dare forget to invite him. A very special seat has been saved for him and his wife, as well as his Beta.I am standing in the great hall watching the pack members as they move about joyfully decorating the place. There is nothing in this place that can act as an evidence of what happened three weeks ago. All the remains of the bloody battle were cleaned up and burnt to smithereens.Now the castle is a place where everyone comes to have their feel of happiness. Tomorrow will be my Alpha crowning ceremony and everything is a percentage more exci
Awakening Dominance I like taking care of you
AmyJace finds the door to the bathroom and opens it to check inside. A few minutes after he enters, I hear water running and then being turned off. Jace later comes out and walks to the bed."There is a bathtub big enough for us to fit. I have filled it with warm water and I think it will be more refreshing than a shower," he tells me. He looks looks at me with a secret smile. I am only dressed in pants."Should I help you with those?" he asks me referring to my pants."No need. I can manage to take them off on my own," I answer him with a smile."I don't mind helping. Besides, I enjoy helping you get naked," he says with a smirk and I swat his arm."Come here," he beckons me with open arms, and I don't think twice before responding. He helps me off the bed and I stand on my feet. He squats in front of me and slowly undoes my zipper. Carefully, he pulls my pants down to my feet and I step out of them. I am left in only in my white lace pant
Awakening Dominance Alpha Daniel
JaceI had assured myself that I was dead but the feel of my girl's gorgeous lips on mine awakens every cell in my body. I pull her closer to me and engulf my arms around her. This has been a really tough day and night for both of us and I am very glad that we still have each other. Amy pulls away from the kiss and looks me in the eyes.She runs her fingers down my collar bone to my chest. She looks so weak. She must be very exhausted. She has been in this place since yesterday morning and has spent the whole night awake. That is why her lips are pale and her face looks weary."Amy," I lift my hand so that I can trace her face with my fingers. She leans her face into my hands, submitting to my touch."Have you been hurt? Anywhere?" I ask her and she shakes her head slowly in response."I am fine. I am just worried about you," she tells me."You don't have to worry about me. I will be able to heal quickly because of my werewolf ability," I te
Awakening Dominance The battle is finally over
AmyNelly leads me behind the castle away from Dwayne and his men. Jace has remained behind to stop them but I don't feel safe at all. How can I leave Jace behind and hide?"No. I am going back to Jace," I tell Nelly."What are you talking about. You are going to get yourself killed," she says."He is alone with those monsters. I have to do something. He is going to get killed," I try to explain to her but she just shakes her head."He is trying to save you. You can't just go back. You will make things worse," she tells me. I know what she is saying is right, but I don't want to leave Jace's side. He is already very wounded. I can't stop worrying about him."Come on. Let's keep going," she pleads. I look behind me but I can't see Jace anymore. I can't even hear the growls of the wolves fighting. We have already gone far from the place where I left them. I nod to Nelly and she leads me away back to the back entrance of the castle. We we
Awakening Dominance Gone forever
JaceI was damn surprised out of my mind seeing Amy being brought by the pack trainer. I thought she had already gone away from here. When Dwayne walked towards the pack trainer, I thought he had caught Amy and had brought her to him. I couldn't just watch Dwayne get back Amy so I had to stop him. I saw the look in Amy's eyes when she saw my wolf. She was terrified. I started thinking that she didn't like what I really was, but the pack trainer explaining the ulterior motive of the Redclaw warriors brought unimaginable relief to me.It means that Amy came here with the warriors on her own will. When I saw Sophia among the warriors, I really felt so supported. I was not expecting any help from the Redclaw pack members and there submission to me was totally unexpected. It had never crossed my mind that the Redclaw pack would fight along side me to get rid of Dwayne and his followers.At least Amy doesn't think of me as a beast since she has been with the wol
