Dominic open his eyes only to find himself in Kat’s pack house. For some odd reason, he couldn’t control his body. One minute he’s standing in the front entrance, and the next he’s standing in front of Kat’s bedroom door. From where he’s currently standing, he hears some muffled noises, almost like moaning and squealing. Curiosity got the best of him and the fact that he had no control over his body, his options are quite limited. As he opens the door, he starts to feel a pain in his stomach, like something bad is about to happen. Once the door was fully opened, right then and there Dom was currently witnessing one of his worst nightmares. What’s happening before his eyes, causes his heart and soul to break into a million pieces. What he’s watching is his mate, the love of his life on top of another man, that obviously wasn’t himself.
“What the hell Kat?!” Dominic yells with so much anger. They both jump in shock and the man starts to growl possessively, while trying to cover Kat’s naked body.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?!” the douche growls while trying to show off that he’s of higher power.
“None of you damn business. What I want to know if what the f**k are you doing under my mate?!” Dom growls aggressively while trying to show off his power.
“What are you talking about?! I’m not your mate… I don’t even know who you are!” Kat shrieks while covering her body with the bed sheets.
“Katrina, what are you talking about? It’s me Dominic, your mate.” Dom’s anger now evaporated only to be replaced with a feeling of fear and anxiety. He doesn’t understand…What the hell is going on?! This couldn’t be real! This must be a dream, of course all I must do is just wake up! Dom closes his eyes tightly, pinching himself trying to get himself to wake up.
But nothing happens seeing as I opened my eyes the douche-bag is still standing before me. But was a decent enough to put on a pair of sweats on while Kat has a robe.
“Are you OK? Do you need some help?” Kat asks worriedly while giving Dom a certain look like he’s high up in the clouds and really need to come back down to earth. She takes a few reassuring steps towards Dominic, but the douche, in Dom’s opinion, blocks her path, causing Dom to growl more aggressively then before.
“I’ll ask again, who are you and what the hell are you doing here?” The man asks in a threatening manner. Before Dom could reply, he starts taking the stranger in, wondering what he has that Dom doesn’t seem to have. In Dom’s opinion, just by the looks of it, Dom’s feet are bigger than that dudes. But being serious, Dom is trying to figure out what is going on? Last thing he remembers is leaving Kat’s pack and going home that’s all. This must be a dream… but if it is why is he not waking up?
Is there a deep meaning behind what’s going on here?... About Dom’s future? ... His past?... Kat’s past? …
“My name is Dominic Torres and to be honest with you, I have no idea why I’m here. All I know is that I want to leave.” Before anyone could comment…
Dom wakes up, gasping for air, only to find himself laying on a dead field. And by dead he’s not talking about the grass but all the dead bodies lying across the surface. The scene before him was utter chaos and as he walks across a sea of bodies, he eventually finds the culprit…
Katrina and standing right beside her is a brown wolf with a set of eyes that seem to be vaguely familiar. There’s something different about Kat, her facial features look more mature, older and she looks sick. ‘I think I now understand what’s going on…’
This is the future, or at least could be if he would gone with the decision of rejecting Kat. Before anybody could say anything… everything went dark.
“Dom?!” At first it was faint but then the voice was getting closer, Dom open his eyes, once again, to see his mate.
“Where am I?” He immediately sits up, only to find himself laying in a bed that isn’t his, in a room that surely isn’t his. As he carefully observes his surroundings, it immediately comes to mind that the room is exactly like the one from his dreams, the one where he found Kat and that guy.
“You’re in my room and before you go asking how you got here, the answer to that is that you seemed to have been sleepwalking. The guards found you wondering and saw that you were sleeping, they quickly informed me, I ordered them to follow you and see where you were going. You ended up in front of the pack-house, I then had you carried into my room and I’ve been watching over you.” Kat explains in exhaustion. Before Dom could reply, an unfamiliar scent surfaces and the owner of said scent knocks on the door.
“Come in!” Kat yells. And you will never guess who enter the room… The dude from Dom’s dreams, the one that he caught with his mate. Dom immediately gets in defense mode, though honestly, Dom thinks Leo was more in control than he was. Seeing as a strong and ferocious growl comes out of his mouth that was completely out of his control.
“Dom what the hell is the matter with you?!” Kat yells in outrage.
“Who are you?” Dom asks ignoring his mate.
“Nathan, I’m a friend of Trina’s” the guy awkwardly replies.
“Why are you here?”
“That’s none of your business Dominic!” Kat yells again, this time getting in Dominic’s face for more affect.
“It’s fine K. I came to visit like I normally do to make sure everything is ok.” Nathan explains.
“Nat, can you please give Dominic and I a minute?” Kat asks, with a deadly look in her eyes, a look that is directed towards her mate. Nathan nods then makes his way out of the room, “I’ll be in your office.”
Once the door closes, they are in complete silence but there is heavy tension in the room that needs to be resolved.
“What is going on Dominic?! First you admit to me that you were planning to reject me without giving us a chance, then you are sleep-walking from your pack to mine, with no explanation. And to top it all off you are growling to a complete stranger and jumping to conclusions without asking or listening. And the real conclusion is that Nathan is just a friend and has been for many years.” Kat rants while pacing back and forth.
Dominic sighs in defeat the decide the best thing to do was to explain his dreams last night, that might have been the reason as to why he sleep-walked all the way to Blue Moon.
“Now that just doesn’t make any sense. I don’t know what’s going on with you, and I don’t appreciate it at all. I need to be alone right now. I need to think properly since you didn’t listen to me the first time I told you this. Don’t go following me Dominic.” Kat marches out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
As much as he wants to defy her and follow, he knows she needs some space, he would want it too if he were in her shoes. So instead Dom takes a minute or two to cool down, then decides to go to Katrina’s office to talk to this Nathan guy, to find some answers hopefully.
Soon enough he finds Kat’s office and sense that Nathan is in there before even opening the door. Dom opens the door only to see Nathan sitting in Katrina’s chair, observing the files she had left opened on her desk.
“What are you doing?” Dom asks accusingly. Nathan looks up and acts all nonchalant.
“Nothing, just reading through some documents Kat left out.”
“Why are you doing that? Whatever it is, it’s none of your business.” The combination of Dom’s anger and Leo’s jealousy is making the situation quite difficult. Nathan chuckles, stands up from the chair to move around the desk to lean against the front of it.
“It seems we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot. I am not a threat to you, I don’t see Kat in that way, frankly, never have and never will.” Dominic growls as the thought of him thinking he was way to good for my Katrina.
“Geez dude, I didn’t want to be blunt, but it seems that I have to be, I’m gay.”
‘Oh shit.’ Leo states while snickering, but also feeling quite embarrassed. Dom couldn’t have said it any better.
“Oh my gosh! I am so sorry. Let me put in some context on the situation. I had this strange dream and coincidentally you were in it. And in that dream, it was utter chaos and I kind of perceived you as a threat. I’m deeply sorry, normally I’m not like this, jumping to conclusions. To be honest, I have no idea what’s going on with me, I am a complete mess and don’t know what to do,” Dom quickly apologize while slowly breaking down his barriers.
“It’s fine, in a way I kind of understand even though I don’t know all the details but I’m sure there’s reasons behind all of this.” Nathan replies in reassurance.
“How about we start over? Hi, I’m Dominic, it’s nice to meet you.” Dom introduces himself properly this time and offer his hand to shake Nathan’s. Nathan chuckles but nods in agreement.
“Nathan, nice to meet you too.” Is Nathan’s reply while shaking Dom’s hand.
“How about we have a seat, while you tell me a bit about yourself and how you know/met Katrina?” I suggest, while gesturing for him to join me on the couch that Kat has on the side of her office.
“Well I’m also known as the Rogue Alpha, and before you protest, I would like to say that yes my pack is full of rogues, but they are the harmless kind. The ones that were misunderstood and banishes under false pretenses. All my pack members are trained for the greater good. I met Katrina a long time ago, during the fiasco with her father’s affair. I was hunting for food and she was alone taking her anger out on a tree. Seeing as I was a stranger and completely harmless, she vented to me about everything. Things that even Casey might not know about and hopefully with time, she will be able to confide in you with those things. I also know about your father and how you wanted to reject her for that. Well Dominic you need to know something…”
Before Nathan could finish his sentence, Casey bursts into the room frantically. They both get up not liking the vibe that she brought into the room. It almost seems like she has bad news.
“What’s the matter Casey?” Dom asks calmly.
“Kat’s gone.”
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kat doesn’t seem to understand men sometimes. They are so complicated in her opinion. She honestly has no idea how to resolve this mess. Well that’s a lie, she does know what she needs to do but she doesn’t have the courage. But Dom needs to know the truth. He needs to know her side of the story and how things really ended all those years ago.
After their little argument, Kat decided to go to the gym and cool off for a bit; See more clearly on what the next step would be for not only her pack and herself, but also my mate and our relationship.
“Alpha we seemed to have sense and unfamiliar presences near the south border, we decided to check it out and oddly enough there wasn’t anyone nearby. We thought it would be good to notify you anyways.” Darrel, one of the guards informs Katrina through their pack link.
“Thank you for notifying me. I’ll take a quick look around, just to be sure.” She replies and quickly exits the pack-house, shift into her wolf and run towards the south border.
Once she arrives, the atmosphere randomly shifts, and it gives her a bad vibe. She looks around a bit to see if she can smell anything or sense anything out of the ordinary. At first there was nothing until she found a note attached to a tree with her name on it. She immediately opens it to read it.
Lovely mate you have there. Got very lucky he gave you another chance. But will it last for long?
All of a sudden she feels dizzy and she met with complete darkness.
