Nathaniel Chapter 28
Dominique spent the next two days at my house. I came out at night and sat with her on the couch but never tried to touch her. Sometimes she would be on her phone or laptop. Sometimes Dominique would snuggle up with me and play on her phone. I never said anything as I tried to give her space as she had asked. She didn’t talk to me either. Instead, she would lean up against me, and I would caress her arm or run my fingers through her hair. I was happy that she was allowing me to touch her at all. Tonight was the last night Dominique would be here. I walked out to the living room and found her on her laptop. I sat beside her, but she seemed so engrossed in what she was doing that she didn’t notice me. “What are you doing, Dominique?” I asked. “I, uh, I’m writing a story,” she stammered. “Do you mind if I look at it?” I asked. “Um, I would rather you didn’t. I told you I don’t let anyone read what I write.” “Could letting me read just a little bit be so bad?” She looked at me fo

Dominique rode to the club with me the next night. I was going to take her back to my house, and she could leave from there if she wanted to. There was disappointment coming from Dominique several times while she had stayed with me. It was almost as if she wanted me to do something, but my promise was stronger than that. I opened her door and put my arm around her shoulders as we walked in. We walked in, and I sat at our usual table. Dominique began setting up the system and ran some songs through it. We played, and I could tell Tim was watching Dominique all night. It was hard not to. She was so into the music when she played and sang. Dominique came and sat with me. As the songs played, Tim walked over and held his hand out to Dominique. I watched as Dominique looked at him for a minute and then at his hand. She looked at me, but I didn’t say anything. She took Tim’s hand, and he led her onto the dance floor. I felt jealousy rear its ugly head. I had promised Dominique that I wo

I awoke for the night and found I had a text message from Dominique. She was asking me about the contracts. I texted her back to let her know I would come in and talk with her. While dealing with everything else, I had put the business deal on the back burner. I suppose it would help her get her mind off of other things. This also let me know that she had left my house when she woke up. I went to the club and walked over to our table. Dominique was already sitting down, so I joined her. I smiled, and she smiled back. However, it wasn’t a happy smile, as it didn’t reach her eyes. I wasn’t sure why, but she was nervous. “Good evening, Dominique,” I said as I kissed her hand. “Hi. I wasn’t sure what was going on with the contracts, so I wanted to just clarify some things with you.” “Are you worried that I will back out on you?” I asked. “Well, I wasn’t really sure, so, maybe. I mean, I basically told you I was done as far as the relationship goes until you told me everything. But

It had been several days since Dominique left, and I needed to get ahead of the situation with Jacob and his pack. I went to the club close to closing and waited for Tim. I needed to know for sure what was going on, and since he knew more about Jacob and what he was demanding than anyone else, he would tell me. I needed to know how to protect Dominique. Once I saw everyone come out, I rolled my window down. Sitting almost beside Tim’s car, I didn’t want anyone else to know I was there. He walked over to his car, but I knew he had scented me. He got in his car and waited until Melissa and Post left. Then, he walked over to my car and didn’t look happy. “What are you doing here?” “We need to talk about Dominique and Jacob.” “There’s nothing to talk about. I’m handling it.” “Tim, we are both just trying to protect Dominique. I could do that a lot better if I knew what the real situation was.” “I feel like a lot is going on, but Jacob keeps me out of it. Probably because he doesn’

Being a vampire had its perks. I compelled the guy I hired to check things out and not to tell anyone but me what he’d found out. He could be my eyes and ears since I couldn’t go out during the day or get close to the wolves. He got some excellent information for me. It seems Jacob was not only a nuisance to me but to wolves in general. It turns out that Jacob had a feud with a neighboring pack. Yes, Jacob was bad news all the way around. Not only had he poached members of the neighboring pack, but he had also moved onto their territory as far as his businesses. Some of his pack members were drug dealers, which was not allowed in the White Moon pack territory. Jacob’s people had been selling drugs there for a long time. The neighboring Alpha had warned Jacob that he would continue to kill his people if he found them, but Jacob hadn’t reigned them in. Every once in a while, he would have his enforcer do something as an example, but then he would let it go after that because it broug

When the two weeks were over, I received a text from Dominique. She was back home. I had waited to talk to her, but this had been killing me. Finally, she said she would come to my house if I wanted to talk. I answered her immediately as I wanted to see her. I was also anxious as I had seen the pictures she had uploaded. I was not too fond of how that man had been all over her. I wondered if she had done anything with him while she was there. I could feel it when Dominique pulled in. I knew she was here, and I was trying my best to be patient and wait for her to come in. I heard the door of her car open and close. I was nervous, to say the least. Tonight would be the night I either lost her or gained the love of my life forever. I walked over and opened the door when she didn’t come in. I smiled as I heard her heartbeat get a little faster. At least she was happy to see me, although she was also nervous. I pulled her against me and kissed her. I couldn’t help it as I had missed her

Dominique walked up to me and looked into my eyes. It was almost as if she was looking straight into my soul. She placed her hand on the side of my face and kissed me. When she broke the kiss, she tilted her head and guided my head down to her neck. I hesitated at first but then plunged my fangs into her neck. I began to drink from her. I began to drink deeply when I tasted her blood, and a groan left me. I was going to have her with me forever. But something was wrong. Her blood was wrong. I jerked back as I realized it was not just her blood that I was tasting. Dominique stumbled and gasped in pain. Her hand flew up to her neck to cover the wound, which was still bleeding. I flew into a rage and punched a hole into the wall. Then, I started throwing things around. I had waited so long, so long to finally have her. “Nathaniel! What in the hell is wrong with you?” Dominique yelled. I tried to calm down, but my rage was taking over. I finally had my long-lost love back; now, she w

I woke up as night fell. I instantly knew that Dominique was no longer with me. I sighed as I sat up. I got in the shower, dressed, went to the third floor, and got a pack of blood out of the refrigerator. After tasting Dominique’s blood, it wasn’t the same. I had never cared for the prepackaged blood from the blood bank, but you have to do what you have to do. Occasionally, I would go out and catch an unsuspecting victim and have fresh blood. However, I usually didn’t do that as I tried hiding in the shadows. Wolves were abundant because they were born. Vampires were created, and they usually didn’t make many. I could make my own bloodline if I wanted to, but I had never felt the need to do it. I only wanted one person by my side, and she died. When her soul was first reborn, I remember the shock I felt from it. My existence had been just that for 100 years, just existing. I wanted all the women I had found to be with me forever, but I couldn’t turn them into a monster like me. I
