*Dominic*

Idiot.

I honestly couldn't tell if that was my own voice, or my wolf's. He had been yelling at me so much in my conversation with Valeria, and on this thought, we agreed.

I am an idiot.

"Damn right, you are," my wolf growled in agreement with our assessment as we walked away from the pull drawing me to that girl. "Now go get our mate!"

"No," I told him firmly.

Despite the rolling feeling in my stomach, the ache in my chest, and the slow-building pain in my head, I did not regret what I had said. Well…maybe just a little, but that didn't change the outcome.

"You know that we can't," I growled back as my wolf howled in anger in my head.

"I know no such thing!" he shouted back at me. "This is your stupid decision, one that I do not agree with, and if you continue to be so stubborn about it I fear that we will lose the chance to get a mate forever. Your dumbass choices affect me too, you know!"

"It's for the best," I said to him, keeping my jaw clenched tightly.

    *Valeria*I knew I should be upset. I knew I should be fighting harder to stop; to get away.But I wasn't.All I could think about was how good it felt to have Dominic's hand on my wrist, especially after our fight yesterday. I hadn't seen him again since then, and I had spent all day making sure that I looked good for the party tonight.I wanted to affect him, I just hadn't realized it would take so little time.I opened my mouth to speak, but my heart was beating so fast, and my breath was coming in and out so rapidly that I couldn't find my voice. I glanced behind me just once at the group of friends that were standing there. Rosie and Gia looked encouraging, while the men looked confused.Typical men.When we reached the hall I thought that Dominic would stop, but he kept going."Wait," I said, finding my voice and coming to a stop.Dominic was strong enough that he could have kept pulling me, but he stopped, looking back at me."Wait for what?" he asked. "We are getting

  • Promised To The Lycan King    Chapter 25: It’s Time To Leave

    *Valeria*The truth was hard to ignore anymore: I was confused about Dominic’s behavior toward me, and for his feelings, too, for that matter. One minute he’s being all loving and caring, and the next thing I know, he’s already avoiding me and acting cold.I didn’t know what was happening, and I was starting to feel frustrated.Dominic had been a jerk for days and had deliberately avoided me, but he seemed to get jealous when Gordon was around, to which I found pleasure just thinking of his angry face. I mentally slapped myself. Oh, goddess! This was a complete mess, and I wasn’t sure how to handle it. It was pure torture!Dominic would come up to me and tell me how much he missed me and how beautiful I was. But when I tried to initiate a conversation, he would either ignore me or give me short, clipped responses.What was his problem? Why couldn’t he make up his mind and be straightforward with me?God, I was so done for the day. So when Dominic’s behavior had escalated furthe

    *Valeria*In his presence, I compelled myself to exhibit strength, feeling irresistibly pulled toward him like a magnet. “It’s all because of you,” I heard myself say. Dominic raised a brow. “Me?”“Yes, you. I’m not going to wait until the three months are up, and have the hope that you’ll change your mind,” I snapped. ”You always made me feel wanted, but the truth is, you didn’t,” I said with as much bitterness as I could. “I’m tired of all your bullshit, Dominic, and that has probably led me to not wanting you anymore, so you should just let me go.”His eyes transformed into a dark and stormy hue, his inner wolf emerging with elongated canines and claw-like nails. “Don’t you dare lie to me, woman.”I stood my ground, despite the fear I felt inside of me. “Who said I was lying? All of what I’ve said is true. I’m sick and extremely tired of you, Dominic.”With a menacing growl, Dominic seized me and pinned me against the wall. His eyes were filled with a wild, primal intensi

    *Valeria*He carried me to my bed, my back hitting the soft sheets. His eyes never left mine as his lips went down my neck, his canines grazing over my skin, and then down to the wetness that pooled between my legs.I shivered in anticipation, Dominic’s lips closing in on my center. He removed my pajamas and my underwear in one fluid motion and he was now staring at me with hunger, his wolf shining through his eyes.“You’re so beautiful,” he growled, and then spread my legs wide, his warm breath tickling my clit.When his tongue found its way inside me, I screamed in pleasure, his fingers teasing the bundle of nerves that made me jolt up toward him.“Oh, god. That part…! Dominic, I can’t.”I felt him press his hand on my stomach, increasing the pressure building inside of me. ”Don’t fight it, my doll. I know you love it.”He inserted a finger inside me and I bit my lower lip, trying to muffle my voice.“Say my name again,” he said, his canines now sinking on my inner thigh.“D

    *Valeria*I stared at Caleb, trying to process the words that he had just said, but my entire body seemed to go numb."Samantha is here?" Dominic demanded, recovering much faster than me."Yes," Caleb said, obviously uncomfortable. "She showed up at the gate and demanded an audience with her mate the King."How dare she!My shock turned into anger at Caleb's words. What right did this girl have to come back here after all she did to Dominic and still declare him her mate? She had to be joking.I turned my attention to Dominic, nervous about his reaction. None of us could have expected this, expected for her to come back. And with our relationship still so new, I wasn't sure how he would react. I thought I knew him well, but I didn't want to be wrong.His mask was firmly in place though."Put her in jail immediately," Ian stated, looking pissed himself. "Refuse to see her. She doesn't deserve any kindness from us.""I would have to agree," his beta said with a grim nod. "She do

    *Valeria*Pregnant.Pregnant.Pregnant.There was no way, I had to have misheard her words. I glanced around at the rest of our group, unsure if I should feel glad that everyone else looked shocked, or upset because they had obviously heard the same.The panic started to set in, and I squeezed Dominic's arm tighter.Even if she was pregnant, there was no way that it was Dominic's baby…right? If it was she would have to be showing more…right?My eyes drifted down to her belly as I did the math, feeling more and more nauseous the longer I went. Her belly wasn't sticking out. That was a good sign…right?Dominic seemed to conclude the same thing as me."You being pregnant has nothing to do with me," Dominic said, his voice showing his clear indifference.He was obviously holding it together much better than me. Though his words did help soothe me. Samantha did not look relieved though."What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, still playing the sad damsel role."It's none of m

    *Dominic*My foot was tapping nonstop under the desk and my skin felt like little ants were crawling around underneath it, putting my whole body on edge.I knew it was too good to be true.Everything with Valeria had been amazing lately, and I had felt the happiest that I had in my entire life. Even thinking about her now brought a smile to my face.But then my smile fell as I remembered the reason for my restlessness.Fucking Samantha.My wolf let a growl out in my mind, but I shoved him back. I was just irritated enough that I didn't want to lose control of him for even a moment because if I did I wasn't sure what he would do.Yet I couldn't just sit at my office desk anymore, hoping for answers to come to me. I needed to do something, anything.I asked Val to give me time to figure things out and that's exactly what I would do.I was up and moving before I realized that I had actually formed a plan. My brain was still spinning, but my body knew what we should do and where w

    *Valeria*I couldn’t sleep a wink after knowing that Samantha, Dominic’s previous Luna, who is the very root of his problem as to why he didn’t want to accept me before as his mate, is now pregnant with his child. I felt sick after I heard about it. I wanted to throw up. I was angry, sad, and confused. I didn’t know what to do.My heart felt like it had ripped out of my chest after I heard the news. Just when things had been going right for Dominic and me, why does this have to happen now? I felt my blood boil, and my chest threatening like it was about to explode. I paced back and forth, trying to calm myself down.Suddenly, the door to my bedroom opened, and Dominic striding inside with a solemn face. “Val,” he called out, and I didn’t answer.I didn’t even want to look at him.“Val,” he repeated, and grabbed me by the arm, forcing me to stop pacing. “Look at me, my doll.”“I can’t believe this,” I told him. ”Why is this happening to us? Just why?” “Val, please. Calm do

    *Valeria*None of them could look me in the eye as each of the Alphas who had confessed to the crimes left the room that we were in. “This...It’s not fair at all!” One Alpha said at the back. He walks up to me and gets close to my face.I signaled the guards to stop arresting them. “Do you have anything to say?”“Y—You can’t treat me this way! You’re just a stupid, weak human! You should listen to the Alpha in this room and learn your place,” he snarled. “Even His Majesty would hesitate to punish those in the higher ranks. Do you think I would ever bow down to the likes of you?”I stared blankly at him for a while. “Is that right? Then why are you here? What makes you think I’ll let you leave?”“That’s—” I didn’t let him finish. Instead, I turned to Gamma Ian with a resolute look on my face. “Hand me over the document about the investigations of Omega trafficking cases that you guys conducted in this Alpha’s pack.”Ian was stunned, but he quickly recovered, reaching into his

    *Valeria*Caleb and Ian followed me from behind. Before I closed the door to Dominic’s room, I glanced back at him, hoping to see his eyes finally open—but he was still in a state of slumber. My heart ached to see him this vulnerable.“The Alphas are waiting, Luna,” Caleb reminded me, his voice echoing in the hallway as I nodded faintly, the sound of the closing door echoing in the silence. I longed to be by his side, caring for him until he regained consciousness. But the situation is getting worse and worse. Time is of the essence, and I must act swiftly to bring an end to this chaotic state.I closed my eyes, and took several deep breaths to calm my nerves, before opening them and facing the Alphas in Dominic’s meeting room.“Luna,” they greeted in unison.My heart raced, my palms sweaty, and I felt nervousness creeping its way into my system. It was the same kind of emotion I felt whenever I faced the council members of my former pack. But, unlike those times, I knew I had n

    *Valeria*"Well, it turns out that you have indeed been poisoned," the doctor said as he walked back into the small room with a small chart.My stomach dropped at his words."Is it serious?" I asked."I'm not sure," he said slowly. "I wish you would have let me examine you earlier!""Dominic was more important," I answered automatically, causing him to do a 'humph' sound that only the elderly ever nailed."His was more dire perhaps, but that doesn't mean that you aren't important as well, Luna," Doc said. "Especially since his majesty would kill me if anything happens to you.""So let's make sure it doesn't," I said, smiling past my exhaustion. "Now…about this poison?""Oh, yes," he said, looking back down at the chart. "The levels in your blood are fairly low. I am sure that you ingested minimal amounts in something like food or water, but it wasn't high enough for it to have been delivered straight into your bloodstream, as in by needle."Didn't do anything to me, my ass.

    *Valeria*"Okay, you can stop now," I said in irritation as all Felix continued to do was laugh. "What's so damn funny anyway?"Keep it together. You can't let him get under your skin yet, I thought to myself."It's all funny," Felix said with a shrug.His indifference was annoying, but not as annoying as his laughter, so I sucked it up and kept talking.I needed this man. My mate was sitting upstairs, possibly dying, and this man was my best chance of saving him. So as much as I was uncomfortable and annoyed, and even a little scared, I couldn't give up.Dominic had done everything for me, and now it was my turn."Nothing about this situation is funny," I said seriously. "Considering that you are in a jail cell, I would assume you knew that though. Or are you in shock or something?""No, that's the funny part though," Felix said, his smile not even faltering. "That you believe that just because I am down here all your problems are over. As if there is not another waiting to ta

    *Valeria*He found me. He found me. Just as I knew he would.The door burst open and Dominic appeared before me, no longer a face in a screen, but the real man.His appearance was shocking with the blood so bright against his too pale skin, but I didn't care. All I cared about was him."Dominic!" I sobbed out, trying to jump from the bed.Before my feet had even made it to the floor I found myself wrapped in his arms. I clung on hard, crying into his shoulder as his hands rubbed up and down my back and head attempting to soothe…well, and probably, like me, scared that this wasn't real.But the tingles that danced over my skin proved that it was real: Dominic was here and he had saved me."I've got you doll," he choked back. "I've got you."The days, weeks, maybe even months that had passed of torture and pain, and uncertainty were overshadowed by the warmth that was flooding through my body at his embrace.I never wanted to leave it again.But then, he swayed slightly.

    *Dominic*My fists clenched as I thought of a way to get through this, but there was nothing. There’s no way around it, and I’m left with the inevitable choice but to end up hurting myself to save my Luna and unborn child. “Don’t do it, Dominic. I—I can’t lose you, and you know that!” I smiled weakly through the screen. “I think everyone knows that.” “Stop taking this as a joke!” Valeria cried. “I’m sorry,” I almost laughed. “I—I have to do this for you—for us and our baby.” I watched as Valeria supported her belly as she managed her breathing. “No, Dominic! Think of all the people you’ll leave! Please,” tears trickled down her face. “Think of me and our baby. You can’t do this to me—you can’t do this to us!” “I’m sorry, love.” I tore my gaze away from her and fixed it on Felix, who almost looked as if he would puke any moment now. “How dare you threaten me with the life of my child and Luna, you fucking bastard. I swear to the goddess that if something happens to either o

    *Valeria*“Someone…anybody…please, I need your help,” I held onto my belly, the pain no longer bearable while I stayed in this secluded room. For the past hour that I’ve stayed here, I heard nothing except the sound of water dripping from the roof. “Anyone...” No matter how hard things would be from now on, I try my best to remain calm as the pain continues to intensify inside my belly while I struggle to breathe properly.I don’t even know what time it currently was anymore since there weren’t any signs that indicated how late or early it might get. Still, I continued my call for help, not stopping until I heard the creak of a door swinging open.“Please help! Help! I’m here, please, I beg you!”Two pairs of heavy footsteps approached and I looked up to see two figures walking my way. When they were in front of me, I realized that they were Alpha Felix’s men. “Help,” I pleaded weakly while my eyes stung as tears began rolling freely from them and down to my face like tiny stre

    *Dominic*Time is ticking, and I mustn’t waste any second of it now that my baby and Valeria are at risk. “They’re close by,” Beta Caleb replied, his gaze steady on mine before I nodded fast. “Declan told us everything he knew about their whereabouts, and we managed to track them down within hours.” I made a curt reply and shifted to further scan the area.After a while of remembering every nook and corner of the place, I looked back at my men. We were in an isolated forest, and we found ourselves surrounded by a serene atmosphere. The moon illuminated the surroundings, casting a bright glow as the wind gently rustled the leaves. The air carried the refreshing scent of earth, yet there was an underlying tension that hung thickly. Everyone seemed on edge, but amidst this unease, a spark of hope ignited within me. I could still feel Valeria and the bond that connected me to her. She’s alive. But she isn’t here. “No one moves a damn muscle unless I say so,” I ordered, my e

    *Dominic*I paced back and forth through our bedroom, a new favorite pastime of mine.It was the only thing that kept me from going insane while Valeria was missing. Standing around or sitting at a desk practically made me rip my hair out. So while pacing didn't get much accomplished either, it at least helped me take the worst edge of me and my wolf."Mate, mate, mate," he seemed to whine continuously in my head."You aren't helping," I snapped."Are you?" he asked, making my pacing stop.He had a point.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and I rushed to open it. The only one who was brave enough to bother me lately was someone with good news.I opened the door to see my Beta standing there."What is it?" I demanded immediately, though he didn't need my question."The Alpha's are here."Caleb's news was good, but I still felt my heart tighten. Every time I saw anyone I hoped it was better news: news that they found her.But still, I would have to take what I could ge
