All Chapters of Claws of Stone: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Rebecca’s storyI shivered as I watched him in the doorway, taking one step at a time towards me. The tension was becoming unbearable and everything seemed to be very well put together. Although I was initially afraid, because I had no way of knowing his reactions, I could now say I was a lucky woman. So many werewolf tales and I fell in love with one. There was no doubt about it, me and Dominic were meant for each other. We had that pure love for everyone and everything, against all odds. Also, we went through a lot together, and even though life tore us apart at some point, we just found the path that brought us together again, and this time I felt it was forever.My heart sank in my throat, anticipating what was about to happen. I glanced at Dominic, who seemed calmer, but maybe I was wrong. I knew he wanted this for a long time and so did I. It was such a painful desire that I could hardly breathe in anymore.It was with my thought that I called him to give myself to him, to give

Rebecca’s storyThe quickness with which he told me this made me realize he wasn’t kidding. He was still gazing into the distance over my shoulder. I could feel his heavy breathing in the back of my head. I twisted in his arms until I was facing him. My eyes begged for an explanation. Tears slowly formed and threatened to roll down my already burned cheeks. I wanted to keep myself strong, but the weight of what he had just said was pressing my heart so hard that not only could I barely breathe, but I was having a hard time making a coherent sentence.I stood like a rock, motionless despite everything. Digging my fingernails deep into his arms, I was seeking support so I wouldn’t collapse. It must have been a few good minutes before I took my first breath and wrapped my arms around his neck. I bet he already knew my answer because he hugged me back. His hug was so full of meaning, love and warmth, but I also felt a little fear. Holding me closer to his chest was like he never wanted to

Dominic’s storyI’ve barely been able to sleep since my conversation with Declan. Zack was up to something and now he had accomplices. What was worse, those accomplices were from Declan’s circle. I was still wondering what Barnett was doing in the clinic?What was more important was that Rebecca was under no circumstances to find out.We only had time to sip our coffee, and we were off to the airport. I so wanted to see Declan today to try to unwind Zack’s visit. “Are you sure you’re okay, love?” suddenly asked Rebecca as she found her seat on the plane. I could hardly mask my concern, and she seemed to realize that something was wrong. Lucky for me, I could blame our quick departure. “I’m fine, I guess. I’m just sorry we had to leave Bali like that. But I promise we’ll make time to come back.”“I’d like that too. I’m sorry we had to leave like this. But we’ll have to get back to our business” “There’s a big event coming up soon, my love, and I wouldn’t dream of you not joining me.

Rebecca’s storySomehow, I had no choice but to take Emily’s hand and walk out of the restaurant. First stop was my car. This man was causing me anxiety, and I barely started the car. It was clear he was following me. I still hadn’t even gotten over the episode in the woods near the set where Dominic was shooting. Out of fear, I didn’t return home to my apartment but to Dominic’s house. Luckily, he was there. I almost slammed the door when I walked in. “Rebecca?” He asked worriedly approaching us. I locked the door, then looked at him with wide eyes. “I saw him, it was him... he’s following me...” I was breathing heavily and barely keeping my heartbeat in check. “Who’s following you?” Dominic’s voice though it was of normal intensity. I could barely hear him. He then rushed to get me a glass of water, because I was hyperventilating. With difficulty, I sat down on the sofa in the living room. After a few deep breaths, I recovered a little. “Okay, you’ve calmed down. Now start tel

Rebecca’s storyI wished Dominic had an answer to my question. And it wasn’t the first time I’d asked him this, but each time he avoided the subject. I didn’t know the reason, but it was already frustrating. I was also the one who gave up looking for explanations. And it wasn’t because I didn’t really want to know, because I felt a tremendous pain in my heart, but because somewhere along the way I realized that this subject was affecting him, too.The love between us was growing every day. Every second it deepened. And he never missed a moment to show me that. Even if there was this one doubt, my soul was at peace. I didn’t even feel how this week passed. In between preparations for Emily’s book release and the premiere of Dominic’s movie, I also had some time to meet up with Logan to discuss the progress of the drug case. And because I had planned to involve Eve in this book project today, I was going to meet with her. I needed her as an ally. She was a very important pawn. She w
