I woke with the urge to pee only to find myself in a room that was dark. I panicked for a moment until I heard soft snores next to me. I didn't have to look to know that it was Dominic. I rubbed my eyes and looked around for a clock or something. An alarm clock with a pale blue light coming from it sat on a little bedside table on Dominics side and read that it was six in the morning. I stood and stretched realizing I had slept for close to twelve hours. Dominic stirred and sat up as I finished stretching.
"Good morning beautiful." He said turning on his bedside lamp. I looked at him and smiled.
"Good morning." I looked at the four doors in the room. I looked at him and tilted my head.
"Bathroom is the closest door on the right to you." I mouthed thank you and darted into the bathroom being careful not to pee myself. I was still in the same black dress as yesterday. I could only assume he didn't want me to think anything negative if he had changed me into something else. When I emerged he was already getting dressed in a pair of shorts and a muscle shirt.
"Going somewhere?" I asked sitting back on the bed.
"Morning training." He said smiling at me.
"Oh. You do this every morning?" He nodded.
"Yes and as my mate you will be expected to as well once you adjust that is." I nodded.
"I have no idea what Amelia was able to save for me so I'm not sure if I have any of my work out clothes or not." He looked up from tieing his shoes and shrugged.
"Everything is in your closet, Amelia said she'd come help you today. If you don't have any though after training I got some free time I can take you to the mall to get whatever you need." I sat on the bed.
"I don't know what happened to my bank stuff though." I silently prayed Elstan hadn't kept it to use for himself.
"Babe I said I would take you to get whatever you need. I never said anything about you paying for it. I assumed you don't have your stuff or don't know where it is and we'll get that taken care of as soon as we can. For now though I am your mate and I will take care of you." I looked down at my feet and felt kinda sad.
"I understand but I feel bad for having to rely on you like this." Before I could even process what I had just said Dominic pulled me to my feet and into a tight hug. I felt so safe and relaxed in his arms. He kissed my forehead and I looked up at him.
"Listen you are my mate. I promise you there will be times I will have to rely on you for support, your opinion, you to take care of me and other various reasons.No one is perfect Kay. I've got my flaws same as you. I've trusted the wrong people same as you.I've been hurt by someone I thought loved me just as you have. I know where you're coming from babe. I am prepared to spoil you physically and emotionally with all the love I can give you and I am willing and prepared to deal with anything when it comes to you. I know you and I will have our ups and downs like any couple but unlike Elstan I will never in a million years hurt you. You are the light of my life and all I want is for you to shine as bright as you can.." I kissed his cheek and smiled at him.
"Thank you, I really needed to hear that." He kissed me gently and hugged me tightly again.
"I know he put you through hell Kay. Amelia and Kyle told me somethings last night after I put you to bed. I will never let you suffer like that again. I'm not perfect but I will always give you my all. I just ask that you do the same in return. Even if that's not much right now that's fine I do understand. " I nodded.
"I will, you know that." He smiled at me.
"I do. If anything is on your mind feel free to talk to me about it. Even if there are days where you're not sure about things talk to me. I am always here for you."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well Amelia told me she thinks since your parents passed away you've been dealing with mild anxiety and depression." I sighed.
"I can see why she thinks that but I honestly don't think I am. I will keep what you say in mind though and I wont hold things back from you unless I need sometime to process stuff." He smiled and kissed my forehead again.
"That's reasonable baby and I will do the same. Now as much as I would love to continue this conversation I really do have to go. Training was supposed to start five minuets ago. Before I go though before I forget I have something I wanted to ask you." I sat back down on the bed and looked up at him.
"What's that?" He kneeled down in front of me.
"I know we're mates but is this what you want? Do you want to be with me? Do you want to live here with me or would you prefer your own room or house? I want you to have a choice in all of this Kay." I looked at him a little surprised. I know he had said something about if I wanted to sleep in the same room or not as him last night but I didn't think he considered my feelings this much. I touched his cheek and smiled at him.
"Dom I had a crush on you as a kid. I want to give you a fair chance. Yes I would like to take things slow because I don't want to rush into things. I never was that kind of person. I do want to be with you though and I don't mind living here with you. This is something I want though and I am just greatful the Goddess was kind enough to give me my second chance mate because I know not everyone gets one." He smiled and kissed me again.
"Well how slow are we talking because you've already allowed me to kiss you and you've already slept in the same bed as me." I laughed at him.
"I mean that's fine but keep it pg 13 for me just for a bit. I want to take time to fully get to know you more then what I already do before I'm hoping on your dick." He laughed and kissed the back of my hand.
"So am I on the 90 day rule or am I a three date exception?" I shook my head.
"I don't know what either of those are so I'm gonna say just give me a week or two." He nodded.
"I can manage that but I'm gonna go. If you need anything I left my mom and autumns numbers in the drawer of your night stand for you ok. I also wrote down how to get to Amelias room but she said she'll come to you so if you want to lay back down go ahead baby." I nodded. I did want to sleep a little more because I still felt like I hadn't slept in like five or six days.
"Alright. Have fun with training." He looked at me and winked.
"It would be more fun if I was training you." I blushed and laid back down.
"In time." He shut the lights off for me and left the room. I finally felt like I was with someone who actually loved and cared about me and it was a great feeling. He had given me more reassurance in our brief conversation this morning then Elstan had in six years. Was this what it felt like to be with your soulmate like the books and movies always talk about? I thought of Amelia and Kyle and made it a point to ask her about it. For now though I just wanted to rest.
"Mommy do I have to wear this?" I asked as she brushed my hair up into a dancer bun. I was sitting on her lap in a pale pink dress with white tights and pale pink flats. She wore a matching dress with matching heels. "Yes darling we're going to go see mommys best friend, we haven't been able to see each other since you were born. It's her birthday today so I want to show off just how beautiful my one and only is." She said fastening pearl hair clips to the bun. "But mommy why can't I wear pants like daddy?" I asked pointing to my father who stood in the door way wearing a black suit. "Because darling it's not proper for little girls to wear suits. Besides you match me doesn't that make you feel a little better." I pouted. "No I want to match daddy too." My father laughed and sat next to my mom. My mom sighed and handed me to my father. "She's withou
I woke about an hour later to Amelia calling my name and gently nudging me. I groaned at her and she practically started shaking me so hard that I could of easily fallen out the bed. Or maybe it just felt like that since my limbs felt so heavy. I stuck my tongue out at her and opened my eyes. She smiled down at me and motioned for me to move over so she could sit down next to me. I did and pinched her at the same time. She rolled her eyes at me. "Come on time to get up girl. We gotta get your shit organized somewhat. Dom told me he was gonna take you out once he was done training and he should be done by the time we're done with that." I groaned. "I am so comfortable though." Amelia laughed. "I know girl and I promise I will let you sleep in tomorrow but we got a lot to do today girl plus I went through all the trouble to hunt down the kitchen, get you a coffee the way you like it and I got something
Amelia helped me quickly get dress and throw my hair up into a messy bun since my hair was a bit hard to manage today. I applied light makeup then when I decided I didn't look like a hot mess we set off to find where Dominic had gone. I made the attempt to follow his scent but Zariah still wasn't back to full strength just yet. Was that why I had scars now? Granted scars were not uncommon for werewolves to have but normally we didn't get ones as bad as the one on my back now. We healed quickly sure but deep enough wounds still left a mark like with anyone. It didn't take us long though before we heard a crashing noise down the hall and saw two wolves slowly backing out of a room further down the hall. The one looked at us and shook his head as him and the other wolf left. I could hear Dominics voice and looked at Amelia. She nodded in a silent agreement to let me handle this. We approached the door and I peeked in and saw Xander and Rowan at
By the time we made it to the mall it was close to lunch time, despite stopping and getting better coffee like Dominic had promised I was starting to feel hungry. I didn't voice it though because I was pretty sure I was the only one who was. Dominic still lead us to the food court as if he knew I was hungry. Amelia and I smiled as we found seats and Dominic and Xander went and got food for everyone. I looked around impressed by the sheer size of the food court. The mall closest to Deepridge wasn't even this big. "They have so many options here. I am def bringing Kyle here next time we come because I know that man wo uld be impressed by just the food court alone." Amelia said with a giggle. "The way to that mans heart always was food." I say jokingly while watching Dominic and Xander stand in line at a cheesesteak place. I couldn't remember the last time I had one. It wasn't until they were ordering their food that I not
By the time Amelia decided we were done I had several pairs of both practical and not so practical bras and panties and several things of lingerie that she insisted Dominic would love seeing me in. Although I didn't doubt her all I could picture was how Elstan had reacted the one time I had worn lingerie for him, because of his utter disgust and negative reaction I had not worn a thong or lingerie since then. I wasn't even sure how to act sexy or tease my mate anymore. I had to shake my thoughts out of my head. Dominic was in no way shape or form anything like Elstan. I took Amelias phone as she headed to the register since I really didn't want to see that total. I called Dominic and he answered on the second ring. "Girls done already?" "It was torture." I mumbled. He chuckled on the other end. "I bet angel. Xander and I are still preoccupied do you guys feel safe going to the next store o
"Kay hurry up!" My best friend shouted outside my door. I rolled my eyes. "Go away I told you I'm not coming down. I don't want to see that jerk!" Amelia sighed from the other side of the door. "Your mom and dad really want you to come down though and Dominic and his family traveled kinda far to come today." I groaned. "I don't care he's been so rude to me lately I just cant stand it. I can't believe I had a crush on that butt head." Amelia giggled. "Oh come on Kay Dominics not so bad." "Yes he is! He never wants to play any games right. He always insists on being married to you or something when we try to play house. I try so hard to be nice to him but he's so mean to me!" I heard my best friend sigh from the other side of the door. "Ever stop to think maybe he does that because he really likes you?" She said.
When we got back to the pack house we were all fairly tired from our trip. Dominic texted someone and just explained a couple of his warriors would come get our things and just leave them outside of our room for now he just wanted to take a nap with me. I nodded and said good by to Amelia and Xander and thanked them for coming with us again. They both just gave a small nod as we went seperate ways. Once snuggled safely and comfortably in bed next to Dominic he started to play with my hair and I smiled at him. We had some lights on so it wasn't completely dark but the low lighting made his golden eyes seem to glow and I was mesmerized yet again by them. He rolled onto his back after a few moments and let a sigh escape from him. I propped myself up on my elbow and looked at him with my head slightly tilted. He turned his head to me and smiled. "Angel although I don't want to ask I know I gotta. Sit up for me wth your
By the time I woke up Dominic was already gone. My guess was to go for morning training. I couldn't blame him. He was probably conflicted in emotions over what I had told him last night. He was probably equal parts angry at Elstan for what I had suffered through and hurt that I had suffered so much and no one had realized it or stopped it. I didn't blame him for how he probably was feeling. I noticed the bags from yesterday neatly arranged by my closet door. I got out of bed with a smile on my face for the first time in a while. I was eager to put the clothes away and just pick out a nice casual outfit for today. It also meant I finally had clean undergarments and that made me crave a shower more then anything. I quickly unpacked everything and hung it or folded it and put it away, everything still had the tags on it mostly because I just didn't feel like taking them off right now. I picked out a nice powder blue knitted
Hey everyone Thank you so much for reading book two in the surviving my fate series. I am currently working on book three Surviving My Blood as well as some other books in the series. Surviving my blood will start having chapters posted on a weekly basis and the first chapter is already up. It will also be the final book in Kaydence and Dominics story as the other books will focus on the other Allied Alphas and them finding their mates. I am also working on book two to For the Love of Death which I have titled For the Children of Death and that will also have weekly chapters posted. I am also planning to work on a murder myster novel that my grandmother inspired me to write which is called Murder in bloom. The next book I will also be posting weekly chapters for is called The vampires Kiss and is a version of the first vampire book I wrote for a creative writing class in highschool. The final book I am working on is actually the first werewolf book I ever wrote and i'm deciding to
I stood there debating on what to do for a moment. Elstan didn't budge, but the wolf to his right waved his arm above his head, almost like he was waving at me, and more wolves that I hadn't noticed before stepped forward. I didn't recognize most, if any of the wolves that were there. Was it possible they were all rogues? How many had he taken in? I tried not to think about it and tried to just keep my head and mind clear. That was my best bet right now. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself. "I had a feeling that once you figured out that Alpha Larson betrayed your little secret to me you guys would plan to attack as soon as possible. I had a feeling today would be the day. Glad to see you're as predictable as ever Kaydence. So let me tell you how this is gonna go. You have two options. Leave now and I will let you, Dominic and the wolves of Pale Crest walk away unharmed. Option two we fight it out, I kill you and force D
The next morning we were all up early. I threw on a pair of yoga pants and a tank top that I didn't care much about, not even bothering with a bra or panties since I was most likely going to be fighting in wolf form a good portion of the time. I had a spare pair of clothes I was going to store in the bus Dominic, myself and a few others would be riding in. We had agreed that instead of stripping down to shift like we usually would we would just bring extra clothes to save time and not leave as much evidence. I had tried shifting with clothes on before and I remembered destroying them. Dominic and I headed to breakfast together. We had notified the kitchen staff about an early breakfast the night before for todays battle and thankfully there was muffins, fruit and cups of coffee and juice all to go. By five everyone was on the training grounds and ready to go. No body said anything and the tension in the air was so thick it was pract
I stood looking at the twenty wolves that were in my squad. Most were pack members since Dominic thought that would be best but I had two that were not in Pale crest pack. It was of course Alpha Blaine and Alpha Avery who insisted I take two of their better warriors. I didn't understand at first, but when Dominic explained they were just worried about me and wanted to make sure I would be able to get to Elstan I understoodazx hvff. There was only two girls on my squad which I thought was a bit sexist but I didn't argue with Dominic. I knew he just wanted to make sure I would be safe since none of us knew what would happen tomorrow. "Alright everyone listen up." Everyone looked at me and I almost shrank away before reminding myself of what I was doing and why it had to be done. I wasn't sire why i felt so uneasy all of a sudden. "Does everyone know our squads duty?" I asked making sure everyone had been able to hear Dominic a litle while ago. "Protect Pale Crests Luna whil
I sat on the edge of mine and Dominics bed holding the only photo of Elstan and I that I still had. We looked so happy and so in love in the photo. I couldn't figure it out, but for whatever reason I just couldn't destroy it. I still hated him, but I hadn't always and I knew that. Sometimes I couldn't help but wonder how things would be if he had been different. I was struggling mentally knowing that in two days I would be killing my first mate if he refused to back down. True he had put our pack through hell and he had destroyed everything, but even then I couldn't fully hate him and I didn't understand it. "Are you ok?" Dominic asked sitting next to me and pulling me into him. I shook my head. "Honestly I don't know any more." Dominic looked at the picture and smiled. "You look beautiful in this photo angel." He said playing with a strand of my hair. "This was right before he started trying to control how I dressed." "Kay i'm not mad you still have this,
This summary is for those who didn't want to read chapter twenty nine due to some of the possible triggers in it. To sum it up in the chapter it talks about Laina meeting and being given to Elstan on her fourteenth birthday. Her father is forced out of her life after treating her poorely and abusing her. Laina realizes fairly quickly what kind of man Elstan is but is now stuck in the situation. You also read about Elstan being given the vial of the stimulant he used to over power Kaydence in the first book. Although I don't name the character it is from the Elder who was there for the challenge. Again thank you for all your support guys. -Mavis Belladonna.
I snuggled deeper into the musty blanket, it was so cold. Being a rouge wolf sucked. The places we stayed in, mostly caves, were never warm. I never had warm clean clothes or blankets either. However I could remember a time when I had warm clothes, food, blankets, hell even warm baths. That had been so long ago though. It hurt sometimes to remember those things. Everything felt like yesterday to me sometimes even though I had been considered a rouge wolf for a long time now. A part of me didn't even remember what living in a pack was like anymore, but I had a few memories of it. My favorite of course being around other wolves my age. There were a few children here and there, but we didn't stay with any rouge group for long. I just wanted to stay in the same spot for a couple of years. Was that too much to ask for? I also wanted to go to school like other kids we often saw, but being a rouge and not belonging anywhere made that practically impossible. Of course if I tried to ta
The next chapter in this book is about Laina and some of her hardships. It talks about child abuse, alcoholism, pedophilia, rape and several other situations that may be triggering. Please know these characters are not based off of any one I personally know. The situation may be similar to things people face in real life, but they are not based off of any real life experience. That being said I do not condone any of these behaviors or the endagerment of a minor in anyway shape or form. This chapter purely exists to give some light to Laina Forcine and why she is the way she is and how she came to be with Elstan. The chapter is not essential to the story so feel free to skip it if you don't think you'll be able to handle the chapter. I do appologize if this upsets anyone, but it is a bit crucial to understanding some of what happened prior to Elstan challenging Kaydence for the Role of alpha in the first book and does explain some things that haven't been explained yet. There will be an
Dominic and I were the first back in the conference room after lunch. I had wanted to bring bottles of water and some snacks up here because I had a sinking feeling we wouldn't be done before dinner or if we were we would have to reconvene after dinner. Dominic had told me he doubted it but it would still be nice to have snacks and drinks. Especially the drinks since we all talked a lot durring the meetings. I wanted to point out not all of us were windbags like some people, but decided to be nice and just agree with him. I could tell he wasn't exactly in the mood for my sarcasm at the moment. I couldn't blame him really, especially since my sarcasm was just my way of hiding that something was bothering me. After a while everyone came back into the conference room. Amelia and Kyle were the only ones who didn't genuinely seem bothered still by what we had learned this morning. It took me a second to realize that Amelia was carrying a couple of pictures in her hand. She sat do
