Chapter 2

Kit’s POV

                His eyes instantly meet mine as I take a step back finding myself pinned against the wall, with no where to go, as he says to me, “It’s been far too long Kit.” His tone was so cool and smooth as if nothing had ever happened wrong between the two of us, and it sickened me that he thought he had the right to just come after me like he had.

                My tongue at that moment got the better of me as I said back to him, “Not long enough, if you ask me. I see things haven’t changed.”

                His body moved to me like the speed of light, pinning my body against the wall, making me realize that I had made a grave mistake, not because I feared that he would hurt me, but because I knew that I couldn’t allow him to be this close to me. His breath now tickled against my flesh as he leaned down, and I dared not to inhale his intoxicating scent, in fear the pills aren’t enough to keep my wolf at bay.

                His hand at that moment lifted, and the back of his hand moved slowly towards my face as he glided it gently down my cheek as he says to me, “Time has only made you even more beautiful.” As he leaned in and took a sniff, pulling away now with the look of disgust on his face, before he adds, “It’s a pity that you never got your wolf. You should have been mine, Kit. We were destined to be together, you and me. I can still feel the pull, to you.”

                His hand now slides from my face down to my neck where a mark one day shall rest from my mate, as he leans in and whispers into my ear, “I still want you Kit, with or without your wolf.” As his warm breath tickles my flesh and my chest rises heavily at his words.

                Years ago, I would have loved to have heard those words spoken from his lips, and in a different reality where I hadn’t just witnessed him with two girls on his arms, I would have fallen for his charm, but I knew the real him. I knew the playboy that lived within that head of his, and I knew the charm that he was laying on me now was part of his game that he played with them all. I was no different than the two girls that he had just walked in with, the only difference between me and them was, I was something he would never have, and he couldn’t bear that I held the power in my hands, power that I will never allow him to take away from me.

                Mustarding what courage, I had still within me, I say to him, “How does it feel, knowing you can never have what you so desperately want?”

                A growl now slipped from his lips, before he pushed away from the wall leaving me able to breathe once again, as he turns and walks away just far enough from me, that his scent isn’t so intoxicating to me. “Why Kit? Why do you have to be like this with me? Why did you leave all those years ago? Was it because you knew you had no wolf?” He asked with a sober face as he turned back and looked at me, oblivious to the fact that I had caught him with that she wolf.

                I wondered if now was the time, to tell him that I had caught him red handed with another, but the more I thought about it, what difference did it make. This thing between the two of us was over, and it never would be, so there was no use even going there. So, instead of telling him the truth, I just stood there staring at him, not giving him the satisfaction of what he so desires. An explanation of why I left and dishonored the claim he had on me, a claim that was later renounced after finding out that I was without wolf from his father, anyhow.

                “Damn it Kit, say something, anything.” He now said as he took a step towards me, and I once again took a step back, this time raising my hands in the air.

                “Stop Dom.” I finally said to him, not able to play this game anymore tonight. I needed and out and I needed him to understand that I needed to get back to the party before my family disowned me more than they already did. Lowering my head, I said to him, “Tonight is to celebrate my sister’s conception, and I would like to be a part of that without having to deal with our past. My father already sees me as a failure to our family, so if you truly do care about me, please I beg you, let this go, at least for tonight.”

                Silence filled the room, and I slowly looked up, to see Dom staring at me, but this time I didn’t see darkness in his eyes like I had seen earlier. Something had changed in them, but I wasn’t quite sure what it was. I wanted to believe that it was compassion for me for what I had just asked of him, but I knew better than that.

                “Damn it, Kit.” He says as he moves back towards me, once again pinning me against the wall before I could stop him. His chest heaved as if he was trying to control his inner beast from taking over. My own body at that moment deceits me, as I unwillingly lean into him, taking in his scent, awakening something within me.

                Dom forehead leans against my own, and I closed my eyes as he says to me, “I know you can feel this, Kit. You can’t deny what we have.”

                Keeping my eyes closed, I let myself feel what he was talking about, and to be honest, I had always felt a pull to him, but whatever was causing the pull, it wasn’t enough for me to forgive him. His last word echoed in my head, and he was so wrong with his choice of words. It wasn’t what we have, it was what we had, and he ruined it, not me.

                Holding onto the anger that was building up inside of me at that moment, for the loss of what could have been between us, I open my eyes and push him away from me, getting the distance between us that I much need, to focus on the now, and forget about what we once were.

                Dom stared at me in shock, from my sudden burst of strength, and I surprised myself too, as worried filled me that my wolf was closer to the surface than she has ever been. I knew that I needed to get him away from me, and I knew I needed to do it quickly. I knew the only thing I could do was hurt him with words, and that was what I was going to have to do.

                Picking my words wisely, I say to him, “Dom what we had is gone, it’s been gone for years now. You and I will never be, and you need to accept that and move on, just as I have.”

                Dom stared at me with pleading eyes, and I knew that he was about to say something back to me, when giggling now filled the hallway outside the door, as I heard, “Domonic, where are you? We are getting lonely.”

                My arms instantly crossed over my chest hearing them call for him, and to say it didn’t spike a bit of jealousy in me would be a lie, but I knew he wasn’t mine, not anymore. “You better go. Your fan club is calling you.” I said to him, with some sarcasm in my voice now.

                Dom shook his head at me, before he took a step towards the door. “I don’t know what I ever did to you to make you so bitter towards me.”  he said before he put his hand on the doorknob, turning it to open it.

                As he opened the door, I closed my eyes, and under my breath, I said to him, “You took another before me.” so softly that I knew he never would have heard me.
