(Dominic’s POV)
My jaw dropped as I stared at Liam.
“Did I reject her?” I asked in shock. What the hell did he mean? Did I reject her? Why the hell would I have done that?
“No, of course I didn’t reject her,” I snapped, “Where the hell would you get that notion from?”
“But she’s human,” Liam said, eyeing me with confusion, “And a weak one at that,” Titan was furious and wanted to rip Liam’s throat out for calling our mate weak, and I wasn’t much less mad either. I didn’t try to stop the growl from escaping my mouth. Liam looked shocked and stood up slowly and started backing away.
“Hey man,” he said, holding his hands in front of him in a defensive position, “I didn’t mean anything by it, I’m sorry I didn’t mean anything by it.” I growled again but fought against my wolf who too
(Theia’s POV)I cried myself to sleep after Dominic left. I didn’t understand why I was having such strong feelings. Maybe it was because it was the first time in a while that someone had shown an interest. I did have a tendency to catch emotions quickly, so maybe that was it. Or maybe it was my story, and how strangely familiar it all seemed. But did I really believe that Dominic was a werewolf and was in love with me because of some mythical bond? Geez Theia, I thought, stop dreaming. We live in the real world here, not one of my stupid books.The next day I dragged myself out of bed and ran myself a bath. There was no way that I was going to be able to stand in the shower with how I felt. After a long soak in the bath, I pulled on some comfortable jogging pants and a plain top. There was no point getting dressed in anything too good, comfort was key. I was just running a brush through my wet hair, with difficulty, when my doo
(Theia’s POV)I shifted uncomfortably on the sofa, not exactly sure what to do. The room suddenly felt awkward as Dominic stood politely, looking seriously hot in his tight cut jeans and that t-shirt that didn’t leave anything at all to the imagination.“Erm..” I said quietly and looked down, “would you like to sit down?” Dominic smiled and nodded his head.“Thank you,” he said as he sat on the sofa right next to me. I could smell the leather and fire smell again and wondered if it was his aftershave or something. I didn’t know what, but it smelt absolutely beautiful. I wanted to move closer and take a deep breath of it while running my hands down his thick biceps. Oh my god Theia, I thought to myself, what is wrong with you. I needed to move away, for I did something embarrassing. I went to stand up and Dominic held out his hand when I wobbled a little.“Where
(Theia’s POV) I looked in the mirror and groaned. It had been a couple of days since Dominic had come over and I had fallen asleep on him, and embarrassingly drooled all over him. I woke up the next morning in my bed. I had assumed that he had left, but some noise had led me out of the bedroom and into the main room. Dominic was in the kitchen area, making a full cooked English breakfast. We spent the morning together talking, and at some point during that conversation, I had agreed to go on a real date with him. So here I was Saturday night, and getting ready for the first date in well over a year. And with a guy that dreams would struggle to compare with. Naya had come over to help me get ready, which would have been great, but that woman was way more body confident than me. She put me in a black body hugging dress that cut at just above the knee. It was an elegant dress for sure, with a wide neckline. But on me it showed all my lumps and bum
(Theia’s POV)Dominic kicked the door to his apartment shut and pushed me against the wall next to it. The lights were still off and the feel of his hands on my body felt so much more heightened when I couldn’t see where they were going. His hands skimmed down my sides and onto my hips. His mouth smashed into mine as he pulled me closer to him, letting me feel just how excited he was. My stomach flipped, and I faltered slightly.This would be the first time I slept with someone since Mark, which was almost a year ago. He had made it clear that my abilities were not up to anything and certainly not worth the baggage that came with me. And Dominic was amazing. He was wealthy and intelligent and had a body built like a Greek god. There was no way that I was even remotely going to satisfy him. Oh god, I was going to make a complete fool of myself.Dominic must have noticed my less than full attention because he stopped. I fel
(Theia’s POV) I woke up all snuggled in thick white bedding. I reached out across the bed and it was warm but empty. I opened my eyes to confirm that I was indeed alone. Looking around the room, I could see, from the floor to ceiling windows, that it was still the middle of the night. I found a led clock on the nightstand on the other side of the bed which confirmed that it was just after 3am. I sat up in bed and looked around further. My mind flashed back to my dream the other day, and the similarities to what I was seeing and feeling, right down to me being naked. I pulled myself out of bed and looked around for something to wear. Right there on the floor, much like in my dream, was Dominic’s white shirt. It glowed in the moonlight from the window, like I had to be drawn to it. I leaned down and picked up the shirt and pulled it on, buttoning it up quickly. The shirt was big enough to cover me as it hit me around mid thigh. I looked aro
(Theia’s POV)My head felt like it was being repeatedly hit with a hammer. I opened my eyes and winced at the bright lights as I looked around the room I was in. I was laid on a deep leather sofa and had a blanket over me. I could tell that I was still in the white shirt that I had been in before, although a quick glance down showed that there was a significant amount of blood down one side.“Son of a bitch,” I hissed as I tried to sit up. I was overcome by the urge to vomit as the ringing and pain in my head intensified by what felt like a million. Okay, Theia, try that again, only a lot slower, I thought to myself. I slowly moved to a sitting position. I still felt like I was going to throw up. But it wasn’t as intense as before. I raised my hand to the back of my head and felt that it was damp. There was also a massive lump that stung when I touched it, and I was pretty sure that I had a concussion.I looke
(Dominic’s POV)“What the hell were you thinking?” I shouted at Liam. After I had been too late to stop the elevator, he had disappeared down the stairs. A few minutes later I smelt blood and the elevator doors opened to show Liam standing there holding an unconscious and bleeding Theia.“She slipped and hit her head,” he said as I pulled her out of his hands and cradled her to my chest.“I don’t know. Maybe she was still spooked when she saw me,” he shrugged.“Oh goddess,” I exclaimed. There was blood everywhere. My white shirt that she was wearing was covered in the stuff and it was pouring out of the back of her head.“Liam, call a doctor or something,” I shouted as I rushed her to the sofa and tried to part her hair to see the damage. This was a new experience. Werewolves heal a lot quicker than humans, not like instant, but better t
(Theia’s POV)“YOU BASTARD!” I screamed at him.He didn’t even need to dodge the pen pot that I had just launched at him. It was a pathetic throw and a pathetic attempt. Just like I was a pathetic person to even remotely think that someone like Dominic Bowers actually liked me.“Theia,” he started as he moved into the office, his arms raised like he was ready to shield another attack, “Please baby, let me explain,”“Don’t you dare call me that,” I cried, the tears streaming down my face. I felt awful and humiliated. Why would anyone ever do something like this? Something like hurt crossed Dominic’s face. As if he had any sort of reason to be hurt. This was his joke. He was probably gonna be lau
