Claws of Stone WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR?
Rebecca’s storyI was so hurt. If the wound was physical, I could have healed it, but it was deep in my soul and it hurt like hell. And the worst of it was that there was no healing. I urgently needed someone to be near me. And I didn’t mean someone from the agency. I meant a loyal friend that I missed. I wondered if she was in town? I was so happy when she answered on the first call and recognized my voice immediately. It had been so many years.“Samantha…” That was all I could come up with. The excitement was so strong that it drowned me.“Becca? Is that you, love?” I had missed that sound so much. I was instantly choking back tears, so Sam kept talking. “Darling, I know it’s you. Please talk to me or you’ll worry me,” she continued to speak to me in the same worried tone. Finally, I could say something. “Sam... yes, it’s me... and I need you. Please tell me you’re in New York.” Samantha was a travel fanatic, so it would be a genuine miracle if she were here. She spent a lot of
Claws of Stone STAY OUT OF MY LIFE!
Rebecca’s storyToday I decided it was time to resume one of my old habits. Especially since I hadn’t done it in a long time and my muscles were fading, not to mention my physical condition. Around my house was a small, dense forest where I used to run in the early hours of the morning before the attack. That’s exactly what I was preparing to do now. I suited up, put my headphones in my ears and confidently set off slowly into the woods. From the very first running steps, my legs felt it. It was to be expected. Don’t despair, Rebecca, things will get better, I kept telling myself with each step. But as I went further into the woods, my body, which was no longer in shape, failed me. I found a bench and rested for a few minutes. I struggled to believe that I couldn’t run at least one mile. No, I couldn’t give up that easily. I gathered all my remaining strength and set off again. Only this time, everything around me went dark. I was struggling to stay on my feet, but it was no use. Th
Claws of Stone MY DEMONS
Dominic’s storyFrom the moment Rebecca left, she called me one more time and confirmed that she was just coming by to pick up her ID. She said she would need it. I was okay with that, just that I didn’t really want to stand in her way when that happened. Just the thought of her being in the company of that troglodyte Logan was throwing me off my normal rhythm. All my life I had avoided letting the wolf out of my body, but now it was too much. It’s getting out of control again. To free myself, I decided to let him loose at least for a few hours. There was nobody around anyway. And I was boiling inside like the flames of hell.Then it started. My bones cracked, my jaw lengthened, revealing my sharp fangs. Then the claws and slowly my body got covered in black fur.He was out. I ran wild and aimlessly. It wasn’t so late, and the couples were already out for their evening walk. The dark forest looked like a ghost. I was trying to avoid the alleys because I didn’t want to meet people or
Claws of Stone THERE WAS SILENCE
Dominic’s storyI was about to make the biggest mistake of my life. But I couldn’t control myself. I knew Rebecca was there, soaking in the hot water, as droplets trickled down her luscious body. The body I dreamed about day and night. It had brought me to the brink of madness. There was nothing clean left in my thoughts, and I cursed myself for letting things get this far. I intended to call Declan, but I couldn’t seem to dial the number. The demons inside me had a life of their own. They couldn’t be contained. They had to be fed.I ran my hands through my now sweaty hair, chasing away all the guilty and sinful thinking I had about her. She was so pure that I wouldn’t allow my mind to wander in that direction. Despite all our short history, I was one hundred percent sure she wanted me as much as I wanted her. Therefore, my rational side said I should do this in an easy and humane way. But what should I do with the beast waiting to surface, stalking like a predator? She was a fragile
Claws of Stone SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT
Rebecca’s storyI just got home, but I shouldn’t have gotten in his shower. I didn’t even know Dominic was home. He told me he wouldn’t be. I called Logan as soon as I got out and postponed the meeting. I called Sam instead. She arrived at the same time I did.“My God, Becca, what happened to you?” she asked me worriedly, seeing me arrive with wet hair and totally confused. I didn’t answer her anything, but walked shakily towards the door. I barely unlocked it. I left the documents on the dining room table and Sam followed me quietly. With a towel, I soaked my hair a little and immediately made two coffees. The storm Dominic stirred up inside me was giving me a hard time breathing. I was devastated and hurt at the same time. But if I was to be honest, I never felt fear during what happened. On the contrary, I experienced the most consuming desire ever. I just knew he would not hurt me. He loved me. Even without telling me the three magic words, I could sense that. And the whole time
Claws of Stone THE PAST RETURNS
Dominic’s storyI was so stupid. How could I do such a thing? How could I not have tamed myself and this wolf that was getting the best of me? They were questions that drove me crazy and no matter how hard I would try to find justification for what I had done to Rebecca, I would sink deeper into guilt. Today I took a break from my struggle and rehearsed a few scenes from the new film. Nick, as always, was effective, but I was losing focus. I was forgetting lines, or messing them up. I couldn’t concentrate on what I had to do. Even the co-actor who was rehearsing with me saw that something was wrong, so he brought Nick into the picture immediately. “What’s the matter with you, Dominic? Alec told me you’re having trouble concentrating? Are you okay, man?” Nick was really worried.“Can we take a break?” “Of course. Come, let’s go to the cafeteria set up by the film crew. There’s nobody there now.” I followed him in silence, and we had a cup of coffee. Mine was a double. Even if I’d h
Claws of Stone I FELT...PAIN
Rebecca’s storyToday I was meeting a good friend, and it wasn’t Samantha. It was someone who had been by my side during the hard days when death had almost made its home inside my body. Eve Adams was in my hospital days as my mother. I met her during my stay there, but briefly. In fact, I got to know her during my walks in the nearby park. I kind of kept a close connection with her. When I needed an escape, I would come to her house. She lived so close to mine. I just needed this escape because lately, Dominic’s presence had been shaking me and my entire existence. It was so hard to be around him when all I wanted to do was kiss him, make love to him, and then repeat all of that. I wasn’t ashamed to admit it, especially after his outburst from yesterday. I couldn’t resist him.My heart and soul ached so much for not being able to fulfill my dreams. My reality was so harsh that sometimes I just didn’t understand it. There were days when he was so present, so involved with me, and da
Claws of Stone I AM HIS LUNA
Rebecca’s storyI could hear Eve’s words, but to believe them was impossible. It was like listening to my grandmother’s bedtime story.“Look, I know it’s hard for you to believe me, but I swear I’m not lying. Dominic is in danger.” She repeated to me, pressing the words. And just then, a frantic, uncontrollable laughter erupted from the depths of my soul. I didn’t mean to laugh like that, but it was sounding ridiculous. “Excuse me, but 100 years ago, werewolves, you and Dominic, all of this overwhelmed me,” I justified my laughter then Eve took a step back. “Jane was only 16 when a wolf the size of the ones that attacked you took her life. She and Dominic were in love, but my husband, Zack Barnett, never agreed. But I admired their devotion, the love they shared apart from our eyes. It was the only way they could express themselves. Neither Dominic nor Jane were werewolves, they were humans. The day Jane died, Zack ordered me killed, too, only I don’t know by what power I escaped. H
