Dominic, I can't tell you much because I lack information. Raven said. Shed wanted to tell him everything. Screw it. She would. She had to trust someone, didn’t she? Jade said she had to trust him. In for a penny. In for a pound. Wasn’t that the saying? She grew tired of constant fear. Raven was sick of being alone. She wanted someone on her side for a change. “No one has all the information Raven. That’s the problem. Do the Gods possess complete information or are they working with fragments? Because nothing every seems to have a nice, neat bow and there’s no master book with every explained in extreme detail. So, you’re saying you can screw with the Dream Realm on a scale that scares the crap out of the Gods themselves. Is that what you’re telling me?” Dominic asked. He was trying to keep up with everything Raven was saying to him. Her speech seemed condescending, as if explaining adult matters to a child. He was getting adult facts from the innocent viewpoin
No one comprehended the peculiarity of being a dreamer. There’re levels and layers. You could be awake and asleep. Or asleep and awake. It confused the brain about which reality you were in. There’re so many. She could count at least four she was aware of. Consciousness, the Dream Realm, unconsciousness, and then you have one where it’s a tossup between the three. The fourth one can be troublesome since it can lead to inappropriate actions or words. Or the opposite. Either way, there’re regrets are there. Raven remembered saying things to Dominic and the promises she made to him. But he couldn’t keep any promises to her. She was unsure of the outcome.Dominic took Raven to the Pack house. He had met the Pack. There, he mentioned nothing of what they spoke of. His words referred to the past before she departed. Many wolves appeared perplexed as their Alpha explained her different perception of the videos.The wolves who’d raised Raven had corrupted her views of
At least, now he understood why his father let a Luna from another Pack mess around with a wolf from his Pack in his territory. Blackmail must have occurred. That didn’t matter. Dominic wondered if his father knew what a Dreamer was. He hunted the study and office for any documentation or notes on Dreamers. Dominic found nothing. His father’s journals came up with nothing, and it took him days to get through it all. It didn’t help that he had interruptions from everything else going on.Among the businesses he had been neglecting. To the punishments he’d overseen for the wolves who’d done grievous things, knowing he’d never accept those actions within his pack. It took him longer to turn up nothing. He felt lost and unsure of his next move. Did he ask about Dreamer from Gregory? Or did he try to get access to a mage library? Or speak with an Oracle? They all seemed risky. Raven needed to know her true nature and what awaited her. What if this female lied to her? Raven woul
Dominic’s obsession with understanding Dreamers led him to ask around. Because he didn’t like the way I explained it to him. But I don’t want him asking too many questions. Dominic could ask the wrong questions of the wrong people. The wrong people could notice. Raven was in a panic. She didn’t dare tell anyone, and Jade hadn’t contacted her in this realm. So, what did she do? How did she handle this? Did she dare to express her anger with him? Raven still wasn’t sure how he’d respond to her anger if she showed it. “Raven, are you okay?” Dominic asked. He entered the room. Dominic came to an abrupt stop. He watched her as she stared out a window as she shifted and muttered to herself. Dominic didn’t enjoy seeing that. To him, it alarmed him. What disturbed her so much? Raven must have seen something that she’d not told him about. That pushed his anger up a couple of notches, because of his concern for her. Dominic had just claimed her. He didn’t wan
He’s trying to take control of something he’s got no control of. But is he right? Could he do something she didn’t? Could she see or access something she shouldn’t? Of course he did. Having held the position for an extended period, he’s an alpha. No one noticed her before this. But would it be enough? They’d be running an enormous risk with the Pack. Did they dare to do that? Should we keep the Pack uninformed about their surroundings? What did they dare disclose to them? “I swear my head feels like it will explode from all the questions I have and the lack of answers. How do I live with myself if something happens?” “What if it doesn’t happen? But you leave here, and something happens to you? How will they feel about that?” Dominic asked her. Raven frowned at him in confusion. “Dominic, if anyone mentioned it beyond reporting it or as a random piece of gossip that ends within hours. I doubt anyone would feel must of anything
Later that night, Raven lay beside Dominic in bed. Hearing him speak and talk like he did tonight. It cleared up many of the questions she had. Dominic wasn’t flip flopping. His moods weren’t changing with the weather. His behavior wasn’t because of boredom or a desire for change.No, he had reached his limit with her lack of awareness. What others were saying and doing. Not new, lasted too long. He’s as exhausted with it as she was. How could she have known without him informing her? Now he seemed at his wit’s end over this and ready to give up on everything that made him who he was. Raven’s feelings were uncertain. If you asked her about that a week ago, she’d have cheered and encouraged him, but now? Now she wasn’t sure about that. How would the wolves survive without their Alpha? Did she may take him away? It didn’t matter that he was her fated mate. They didn’t treat her right. When was anything fair to her? She could still live with unfair conditions. It’
Raven was rummaging in the kitchens, pulling out leftovers. She didn’t hide how upset she was. Raven felt the need to walk or run to release her nervous energy. The urge to scream remained constant within her. “So, I’m only here because I’m trouble anywhere else. This Pack won’t recognize me as their Luna even though I’m mated to their Alpha and do everything a Luna is supposed to do. Right got it.” Raven knew this enforcer didn’t know about the anger she kept bottled up that he now poked at. He attempted to dislodge the cork of the champagne bottle by stomping on it with the heel of his boot. “Well, that may have come out wrong.” The enforcer watched Raven; he shifted where he stood, displaying his nervousness as she placed food on the counter with a little too much force. He’d never seen this she-wolf in anything other than a withdrawn state. The few times he’d seen Hilary or Kelsey confront her; she’d never raised her voice. He’d never seen her s
“Let’s all consider stepping back. I don’t think much of this will get resolved unless we take a less combative approach.” He pulled out a chair and offered it to Raven. “Luna please. I think this might help us all if we discuss this. It’s something we can correct others on if we understand what is going on. It’s one thing if it comes from Alpha Jones, but it’s something else if it comes from others.” Raven couldn’t avoid seeming unreasonable in this situation. “I’m not sure what you are getting at.” “Your hurt and negative feelings are now being felt by the more sensitive among us. Add in the facts the Alpha and Beta have disclosed. The events that have taken place. Luna views are changing, and questions are being asked. You aren’t dismissed and disliked on sight by everyone. I’ve had to deal with many heated discussions over past events and recent discoveries. Some punishments were contested as well until the facts were thrown in everyone’s faces.
