I took the stone out of my pocket. It was definitely glowing now. The more I stared at it, the more I could see something swirling around in it. I felt the energy in it, so I knew it had worked as far as trapping something, but I wondered if the wolf’s soul had been trapped or Tim’s. The witch had assured me she cast a spell to trap a wolf’s soul and not a human’s, but I wondered how reliable that was since she wasn’t sure if the stone would even work.
Dominique needed more time to get over her grief before I offered this to her. I also wanted to know if she still wanted to be a wolf. I know she didn’t want to be one when it first happened. It took everything she had to accept it, as she thought I would no longer want her. However, she finally accepted it once I told her I would
We walked into my room, and I sat her on the bed. I walked over, picked up the stone, and put it in my pocket. I wanted to explain what this was before I gave it to her. I just hoped she would think about this before using it. I regretted the fact that I brought it up. I sat on the bed so I was facing her. “Before I give it to you, I want you to listen to what I have to say. Tim and I worried that you might die if your wolf was gone. We were worried that if Alpha died, you might die as well. We didn’t know if you would survive because you were my servant. I have researched over the years and could find nothing about a wolf being the human servant of a vampire. I have found nothing about a wolf being with a vampire. I also found nothing about wolves surviving their mate’s death when their souls are joined like yours and Tim&
What worried me was not her grief but how she had been acting since I gave her the stone. I had caught her holding it, and it almost looked like she was having an internal conversation with herself. The strange part was that the stone was glowing, almost as if it was talking back to her. I knew that her children had stopped by several times as I could always smell them in the house when I awoke. However, they hadn’t stayed long enough for me to wake up until I awoke to Michael in my room one night. My eyes opened, and I immediately smelled him. I opened my eyes and found him sitting in a chair facing the bed. I sat up, and he looked up at me. “Michael? What are you doing in here?”
“I don’t know what you mean,” Dominique said as she looked away. “Yes, you do. Talk to me, Dominique. I’m worried that something is happening to you.” “There’s nothing to tell, Nathaniel. Really.” “I will leave this alone, for now, Dom, but not forever. I would like to take you to England for a little while. I would like to introduce you to Victoria and Barnaby. I also want to show you some places that are important to me.” “When did you want to go?
“Please, Nathaniel. It’s been so long since I’ve been touched this way. Make me forget my pain for a while.” “You know I have a hard time denying you, Dominique. I don’t want you to push me away. I’ve waited so patiently, and I can’t have that ruined for one night of lust,” I said as I looked into her eyes. “It won’t be ruined. Please. I need to feel alive again, and you make me feel things I haven’t felt in a long time.” I closed my eyes as Dominique rubbed her hips against me. I was drowning in her scent and the feel of her body under mine. I found myself crushing her lips as sh
“Grab the bedposts, Dominique.” “What?” her lazy reply came. “I’m not done with you yet. Grab the bedposts.” When she did what I’d asked, I thrust back into her. Her head lulled against my shoulder as I began pulling out and shoving back into her sensitive walls. My hands went up and cupped her breasts, squeezing them as I kissed her shoulder. Her moan in my ear set me off, and I began to pump faster. I squeezed her breasts as I pinched her nipples, trying to slow my pace back down. This time would last longer if I had my way about it.
I had to get some of this aggression out before I did something stupid. So I walked briskly through the house and went out the back door, not caring that I was still naked. I ran through the forest a few times until I spotted a bear. I felt the urge to kill it, but I would toy with it first. At least it would give me a decent fight. Ten minutes later, I ran back to the house. I was covered in the bear’s blood and probably looked like a lunatic. But at least I had enough time to take a shower before dawn hit. Hopefully, Dominique would allow me to stay the day here before telling me she didn’t want me living here anymore. I knew I could never force her to be by my side. It would just make her resent me, and neither of us would be happy.
I woke up and wondered where I was for a few minutes when I felt a weight beside me. The night before quickly came back to me. I opened my eyes and found Nathaniel on top of the covers. He’d kept his promise and not trapped me even though I had fallen asleep in his arms. It was strange to see him like this. It almost looked like he was just sleeping.&nb
I awoke and immediately felt the empty bed beside me. I sighed and opened my eyes. I’m not even sure why I was expecting Dominique to still be in bed with me. Humans didn’t sleep that long. Even though we had gone to bed later than she usually did, Dominique still wouldn’t sleep that long. I wish I could know what it felt like to go to bed with her and wake up with her in my arms. Of course, I knew it would never happen, but it was something I could dream about, nonetheless. I got out of bed and opened my link to Dominique. Great sadness and confusion were coming from her. The hallway had no windows so that I could walk around freely during the day here. I pulled a pair of sweatpants on and walked to her room. Her door was open, so I just walked right up to it. I frowned at what I saw.
“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
“I’m sure they will, Dominique. I just wonder sometimes if you will be happy with me after a hundred years together. I know it won’t be easy since you are still not used to sleeping with me. I hope to overcome that obstacle one day and get you into a sleep pattern that allows us to be together.”“Sometimes, we will need to be apart so we don’t get sick of each other. I can always go out alone and spend some time with myself. Then we won’t get tired of being together or run out of things to say.”“You will come to realize that we don’t need to say anything for me to be happy to be with you. Our bond makes us want to be around each other all the time. You will feel the distance and the urge to return to me when you are away from me. I do not expect you to do this, but I want you to know.”
“Dominique, I want to review the plan again to ensure we have it down.” “Okay, Nathaniel. It’s pretty straightforward, though, so I don’t think we need to.” “I just want to make sure you are okay with the plan. There can’t be any mistakes, and I need to know that you can handle my weight.” “Right before you pass out for the day, you will slip into a duffle bag that is big enough to curl up in. Then when we arrive in England, I will take the bag with me as my luggage. There will be a car waiting for us, and I will give them the instructions on how to get to your house. Once we are there, I will place you in the bedroom where you can wake up refreshed. But won’t they check our luggage?” “No. All luggage is checked before you leave. They will just think you grabbed your luggage. I worry that you can not carry me. You no longer have the strength of your wolf.” “I’m still stronger than the average human thanks to being your servant.” “It must look like you have a regular bag, not on
