Chapter 56
I came alive, gasping as I felt a horrible pain in my side. I instantly knew it was Dominique. Nothing else would have caused me such pain as soon as I awoke. I closed my eyes and reached out for her. I found her mind was closed off to the world as she was unconscious and dreaming. I delved into her mind and watched as she dreamed of running free through the woods, but she wasn’t in human form. Instead, a beautiful black and white wolf was running free. The sunlight hit her fur and made a striking contrast. The black fur looked like it had blue streaks running through it, while the white fur glistened like snow in the early morning light. She was light and dark all in one.
I was mesmerized by her. Was her wolf taking over her dreams now? She ran so fast, her feet barely touching the ground as she chase

For eight years after Dominique got her wolf, she would dream of me, and we would keep in touch. Sometimes we even ran in her dreams. I felt like I had her back somehow, even though it wasn’t real. At least I was able to be her friend. I had missed our conversations, the time we had been able to share. Even if it hadn’t been a relationship as a couple, it was better than nothing. I didn’t feel alone all of the time. Then she hit me right in the heart the last night we spoke. Again, I felt a tug on our bond. I once again entered her dream world and made a place for myself.‘Nathaniel, I need to talk to you about something important,’ Dominique whispered.

“All I can say is that you are stronger than I am. I could not give Veronica up to another man. I just couldn’t. And to be in and out of her life the whole time as well? No. My friend, I hope it all works out.” “Well, I actually called you because I am going to move to England. I found a place, and I called my lawyer. He should be getting everything together tomorrow. I would like for you to keep an eye on the place for me until I can get there. You know how these things go. It may be months before I can close on the house, and then I will need to find someone to do construction to make it suitable.” “You’re actually going to leave her behind? Are you sure about this, Nathan

“I know you have. I know you love her and will do anything you can to make her happy. That’s why I’m asking this of you. This is my final gift to her. It’s the only thing I can do for her now. I haven’t been able to be with her as a husband should in a long time. I know she craves it, but she never lets it show. She is still affectionate and never makes me feel like I’m not enough. I’ve always known when she was dreaming about you, but I never said anything. I know she had stopped for quite some time until the war. Then I noticed her talking in her sleep again, but it was never more than that. Once I retired, I noticed that stopped.” “Yes, she told me we could no longer talk because she didn’t want you to feel like she was cheating on you. She loves you,

Over the next year, Tim called me at least once a week. He would talk to me about how his health was doing. I became the friend he needed because I was objective about his death. I wasn’t encouraging him to get better or feel better about it. Instead, I was helping him to face it. All he seemed to worry about was how it would affect Dominique or his children. I’ll admit that I was selfish about it at first. All I could think about was finally having my chance with Dominique. I had been researching their wolves sharing the same soul. Unfortunately, I hadn’t found anything in my books, so I met up with the coven leader that Barnaby knew. Unfortunately, they didn’t do anything regarding the spirits but directed me elsewhere.

I wasn’t listening to what he was saying. I could only focus on the pulse beating wildly at the woman’s throat. She was terrified and trying to get away from Barnaby. He pushed her towards me, and I struck when she was close enough. I drank her dry in a few minutes. Blood was running down my face, and I tried to lick it off as much as possible. Barnaby shook his head and said, “I see you have become a monster again. I really do need to know what is happening with you.” “Need more,” I managed to get out. I could feel immense pain, but it wasn’t mine. Instead, it was a sen

I boarded a plane two days later. The crew had a way for me to be in the dark if it came down to it, as the very rear cabin had no windows. If we landed and it was daylight, they would take me out in a coffin that was now sitting in the plane. The crew was paid good money not to ask questions. It had been six days since Dominique had lost Tim, and I felt guiltier than ever that I had not been there for her. I hadn’t even reached out because I wanted to be there for her in person. But then again, she hadn’t reached out to me either. I wondered why. Was she mad at me? Did she not want to tell me about Tim’s death? I knew she wouldn’t want to be with me immediately after, but why wouldn’t she at least contact me about it? My thoughts kept running rampant until dawn broke, and I went down. I could no longer feel the plane movin

I moved through the darkness of the trees until I came to the edge of them. I had run through the territory line, and the wolves had let me be. I suppose they haven’t had a vampire here before but me. I started getting her scent as I got closer to Dominique’s home. I veered off toward her scent until I saw her. I stood there for a while, watching the woman I loved as she stood silently at the foot of a grave. I felt her sorrow, but her beauty captured me as I always was. I silently made my way across the field. Once I was close enough, I wrapped my arms around her, and she leaned into me. I felt like I had just landed in Heaven. “Nathaniel,” Dominique breathed. “Dominique, my love. I co

I had been going to Dominique’s house every night this past week. Some nights we would return to my cabin, and she would sleep on the bed with me. I always ensured she was under the covers, and I laid on top of them so she wouldn’t wake up to me being gone and her being cold and afraid. I loved those nights as I was allowed to hold her and watch her sleep. She said she hadn’t really slept except when I held her because her grief was unbearable in her bed. She had decided to move to another place she had told me about. I was hoping she would let me know where it was so I could continue to visit her. I would need to set up a permanent residence here again, so I didn’t have to stay in that little cabin. I wanted to make sure that I was in a place that didn’t have windows. I had alw
