Dominique rode to the club with me the next night. I was going to take her back to my house, and she could leave from there if she wanted to. There was disappointment coming from Dominique several times while she had stayed with me. It was almost as if she wanted me to do something, but my promise was stronger than that. I opened her door and put my arm around her shoulders as we walked in. We walked in, and I sat at our usual table. Dominique began setting up the system and ran some songs through it. We played, and I could tell Tim was watching Dominique all night. It was hard not to. She was so into the music when she played and sang. Dominique came and sat with me. As the songs played, Tim walked over and held his hand out to Dominique. I watched as Dominique looked at him for a minute and then at his hand. She looked at me, but I didn’t say anything. She took Tim’s hand, and he led her onto the dance floor. I felt jealousy rear its ugly head. I had promised Dominique that I wo
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
It had been several days since Dominique left, and I needed to get ahead of the situation with Jacob and his pack. I went to the club close to closing and waited for Tim. I needed to know for sure what was going on, and since he knew more about Jacob and what he was demanding than anyone else, he would tell me. I needed to know how to protect Dominique. Once I saw everyone come out, I rolled my window down. Sitting almost beside Tim’s car, I didn’t want anyone else to know I was there. He walked over to his car, but I knew he had scented me. He got in his car and waited until Melissa and Post left. Then, he walked over to my car and didn’t look happy. “What are you doing here?” “We need to talk about Dominique and Jacob.” “There’s nothing to talk about. I’m handling it.” “Tim, we are both just trying to protect Dominique. I could do that a lot better if I knew what the real situation was.” “I feel like a lot is going on, but Jacob keeps me out of it. Probably because he doesn’
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
When the two weeks were over, I received a text from Dominique. She was back home. I had waited to talk to her, but this had been killing me. Finally, she said she would come to my house if I wanted to talk. I answered her immediately as I wanted to see her. I was also anxious as I had seen the pictures she had uploaded. I was not too fond of how that man had been all over her. I wondered if she had done anything with him while she was there. I could feel it when Dominique pulled in. I knew she was here, and I was trying my best to be patient and wait for her to come in. I heard the door of her car open and close. I was nervous, to say the least. Tonight would be the night I either lost her or gained the love of my life forever. I walked over and opened the door when she didn’t come in. I smiled as I heard her heartbeat get a little faster. At least she was happy to see me, although she was also nervous. I pulled her against me and kissed her. I couldn’t help it as I had missed her
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
I woke up as night fell. I instantly knew that Dominique was no longer with me. I sighed as I sat up. I got in the shower, dressed, went to the third floor, and got a pack of blood out of the refrigerator. After tasting Dominique’s blood, it wasn’t the same. I had never cared for the prepackaged blood from the blood bank, but you have to do what you have to do. Occasionally, I would go out and catch an unsuspecting victim and have fresh blood. However, I usually didn’t do that as I tried hiding in the shadows. Wolves were abundant because they were born. Vampires were created, and they usually didn’t make many. I could make my own bloodline if I wanted to, but I had never felt the need to do it. I only wanted one person by my side, and she died. When her soul was first reborn, I remember the shock I felt from it. My existence had been just that for 100 years, just existing. I wanted all the women I had found to be with me forever, but I couldn’t turn them into a monster like me. I
“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
“I just can’t wrap my head around how he will split his soul from Tim’s without the stone. Tim’s whole plan was to trap Alpha’s soul in the stone, and his soul would move on. That didn’t happen, though.” “If the Moon Goddess selected an original Alpha’s soul for Tim, then she had a reason. This must have been it. I can’t think of another reason for it.” “Or it was because she saw who he would choose for a mate and knew I couldn’t change by a mere bite. If that were the case, then that psycho would have changed me with what he did. I think my connection to you didn’t allow me to change any other way.”
When I woke up, I stretched out without thinking about it. I was surprised to find that I was no longer in the bag. Dominique didn’t even like to sleep in the bed with me because I was cold when I died for the day. She had overcome her fear enough to take me out of the bag, which required touching me. I knew before I even opened my eyes that she was not in the bed with me. I sighed and sat up. The room I was in was dark, but I heard the sounds of a TV show playing. I smelled food, so Dominique must be in the suite's living room. I got up and realized it was so dark in the room because the sun was setting, and blackout curtains were hanging up. Dominique must have brought them with her as I saw the hooks on the wall holding them up. I had not thought about doing this. It was thoughtful of Dominique.
“Yes. I have heard you tell Nathaniel that the voice sounds like a mixture of mine and Alpha’s. That is why. I know that’s not what you wanted to hear, Dom. But you had to have known. The things I have said have been from a man’s point of view. Alpha was Luna’s mate, yes, but he thinks of you as his mate and would talk to you as his mate. I’m talking to you as your husband would. Please don’t feel bad about this, Dom. I feel lucky that I have spent this extra time with you.”I couldn’t help it. I started to cry. I had wondered about the voice but hoped I was wrong. I’d held Tim’s soul in that stone all this time. He hadn’t been at peace but had been trapped in a stone. The kids would never forgive me if they found out the truth. I wasn’t sure if I could forgive myself at this point. I was so selfish.
I walked over to where the driver was placing my bags onto a luggage trolley and took my wallet from my purse. I handed him 20 euros, and he thanked me. I smiled and walked back to the desk. The clerk gave me the room key and my ID. I thanked him and walked over to the elevator. The porter got on with me, and we went to the room. He must have thought it odd that I didn’t give him the bag from my back, but I ignored his strange looks. Once we got to the room, he unloaded the luggage onto the luggage racks, and I tipped him. He smiled and thanked me before exiting the room. I placed the bag on the bed and put my purse on the nightstand. The curtains were wide open, so I walked over to the windows and closed them. The room wasn’t pitch dark, but the sun wasn’t hitting directly on the bed. I walked over and unzipped the bag.
I woke up when the announcement about our landing came on. I was still cuddling Nathaniel in the bag. I sighed and sat up. I walked over to the seats and hooked my seatbelt. Once the plane landed, I grabbed the bag from the couch and was surprised it didn’t feel heavy. I must still have my strength, but it was awkward when I first tried lifting the bag. I put my hand in my pocket and felt the stone. I felt the energy coming off it and knew it would be glowing if I took it out. I didn’t realize how much it hurt Nathaniel that I always had the stone. I thought he understood that it was a part of Tim and that I wasn’t ready to let go of Tim just yet. I suppose being with him in every way that mattered in a relationship made him
“You could have offered to let me be your human servant and then allowed me to live my life with Tim, but you didn’t. Instead, you took what you wanted without a second thought about what I would think or feel about it. That made me angry, and I wanted to hurt you, so I went to Tim. I chose him automatically. If I had been rational about the situation, I would have sat you both down and had a conversation about it all, but I didn’t.” “Then I cut you out completely later on. I had no reason to do that as Tim knew I wasn’t with you and that I was being faithful to him. But I wanted him to be positive about it, and frankly, I wasn’t sure if I could be completely faithful if I continued to have a relationship with you. I always thought about you and had to push those thoughts and feelings away while I was with Tim.&
“Are you excited, Dominique?” I asked. “Very. I can’t wait to get there and meet Barnaby and Victoria. I also can’t wait to see your home and for you to show me places I know I didn’t see when I came to England the last time.” “When you came to England before, did you feel my presence more than usual?” “I felt like you were closer, but I was always trying to ignore the pull I had to find you. I wanted to enjoy being here with Tim.” I could tell something was off with Dominique when she mentioned Tim, but I tried to ignore it. This was our vacation, and I was grateful she took it with me. I had asked her to leave the stone at home, and she had been reluctant to agree, but she eventually said she would. I watched her body language and how she kept her hand in her jacket pocket. Had she actually left it? “Dominique, what are you hiding?” “I don’t know what you mean.” I tapped into her thoughts and she was thinking about miscellaneous things. This made me even more suspicious. Sh
“Any interesting conversations so far? It’s been a few weeks,” Ewan said. Carson looked at Ewan and responded, “The vampire had a conversation with someone named Nathaniel about coming to England. I think it’s the other vampire we have been looking for. It would explain why we could never find him no matter where we looked. He hasn’t even been here. He did mention that he couldn’t wait to see him and Dominique.” “Did you say Nathaniel?” Ewan asked rather excitedly. “Yes, sir. Is there some significance to that name?”
Dominique began to sway her body against mine. I mimicked her movements and began to take my shirt off. I slowly unbuttoned my shirt as I rolled my hips. Her hands slid down my chest and pulled it free from my pants. I grinned and showed her my fangs as she slid the shirt off my shoulders. I winked at her and gently pushed her back onto the bed.I slowly reached for the fastening on my slacks and unhooked it. I knew by her scent that she was getting turned on. However, I refused to let her touch me. I slowly moved away from the bed while unzipping my slacks. I rolled my slacks down over my hips while revealing tight black briefs.Glancing up at Dominique, I noticed her looking down at the bulge in my briefs. She slowly looked at me, licking her lips. I can see the pulse point at the base of her neck fluttering, and
