(Theia’s POV)Dominic stayed over that night. Nothing happened, we just laid in bed together. It felt so nice to fall asleep and wake up with Dominic’s arms around me. When we got up, Dominic helped me to pack a bag with a few things.“Pack enough for a week or so,” he said. “If we need any more I can send one of my pack to come and collect, or just buy you some new stuff. But I want to make sure that you are protected.” I frowned at that.“Mark is already dead,” I said, “He’s not coming back is he,” and then I looked up at Dominic in alarm, “Oh god, he can’t come back from the dead can he?” I asked and Dominic laughed. But then he got serious again and looked like he was thinking.“Actually, you never know with sorcerers,” he said, and I stared at him. “Seriously, he was a sorcerer?” I asked, wow my world was just getting big

(Theia’s POV)“And the bathroom is through here,” I watched Leah as she danced around the room showing me things, while I got my breath back from climbing all those stairs.“I’ll get Dominic to clear some space so that you can put your things in there,” she said as she came back out, “But there is space for you in the closet.”“Leah,” I said, and she looked at me, “I’m only here for a couple of days.” Leah pulled a face that said she didn’t agree and carried on talking about the room. I looked around. It wasn’t really a room, it was a full apartment or something. And it was at least double the size of mine. There was a living room, with a separate mini kitchen and then four bedrooms. The main bedroom, the one I was sitting in now, had an ensuite bathroom, but then there was a separate bathroom as well. There was even a roof terrace. It wa

(Theia’s POV) I was woken up by Dominic. I opened my eyes to see him smiling at me. I looked at the clock on the nightstand and saw it was a little after 5pm.  “I thought you might want a shower and stuff before dinner,” Dominic said, and I nodded. “Oh god, yes please,” I said. Despite it feeling like half of Dominic’s family and friends hating me, I still wanted to make a good impression.  I climbed out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I immediately saw that a shelf had been cleared and my things were there. That made me smile a little. I quickly got a shower and brushed my teeth before going back out into the bedroom wrapped in a towel. I looked around and saw my bag now empty by the closet door. I opened the closet and saw all my clothes hung up on one side. I pulled out a blue dress and some underwear and began to get dressed. I was just brushing out my hair when Dominic opened the bedroom door and leaned against th

(Theia’s POV)I looked down at the ring in the velvet box. It was beautiful. It was made up of a central stone that was a pale pink and then clear stones surrounding it. It glittered in the moonlight. Everything about this was perfect, like it was something in a book or a movie. Dominic smiled up at me with all the love in his eyes. I believed every word he said when he said I was the love of his life. The setting was amazing, a private island on a lake with the moon shining down. It was absolutely perfect. Everything a girl could ask for. Everything I ever dreamed of.“No,” I said quietly. I watched Dominic’s face fall and felt my heart break. He looked down at the ground, and then back up at me, confusion clear on his face.“What?” he asked, and I shook my head. I sat down on the ground and he moved to sit next to me. I felt tears running down my face.“Baby,” Domi

(Dominic’s POV)I was standing with Liam and the guards, not really listening to what they were talking about, when I spotted Theia and Leah walking back towards the car. They seemed deep in conversation themselves, and it made me smile that they had become such good friends. I was initially so annoyed with Leah for inserting herself into Theia’s life after I had specifically told her not to. But I am grateful that she did now. I would never have known about that bloody sorcerer Mark sniffing around, and I wouldn’t have been able to save Theia from him. Liam had said that I was too lenient on Leah for going against a direct order. He even suggested that her being my Gamma wasn’t such a good idea. But the blood bond is such a valuable asset in a pack that I couldn’t imagine anyone, other than my little sister being my Gamma.“Alpha,” I heard the annoyed tone in Liam’s voice and turned my attention back to him. I looked over and s
