Chapter 14

 After a 12 hour trek, well more like me riding on Dominik's wolf form while everyone else used their superhuman strength and speed to travel, we finally arrived to the outskirts of Jonathan's territory. I saw the mansion perched up on top of the hill, and geographically speaking, he had the advantage. We had to find a way to break through his defenses. Being on Dominik's back was an experience. I thought it would be rough and uncomfortable, but it was actually quite the opposite. His jet black fur was soft to the touch. He leaped and ran across the forest floor with such grace and agile-ness you couldn't help but be amazed at him. I was. I'm so happy to have such a strong person as a mate. Now it was my turn to amaze him. I had to prove to him and myself that I was worthy to stand by his side.

"You are worthy meine liebe. More than worthy to stand by my side and I am honored that you chose me to stand next to," Dominik whispered in my ear as everyone took a break. I looked into his eyes and smiled before I gave him a kiss on his lips. It sent a sparks through my body and relished the feeling a simple kiss brought me. He cupped my face with his hands and kiss me even deeper. "Let's get you some rest ok. I know you must be tired from the journey."

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't tired. I didn't argue with him and snuggled closer to his body. He enveloped me in his arms and his warmth radiated from his body, acting as my own personal heater. The sun was about to set and we set up guards to keep a lookout. We plan to attack when the moon was high. It felt like even the goddess was behind us tonight because the moonlight gave her children the vigor and vitality that they needed. Rogues and banished vampires, I've learned, didn't benefit from this, of which I'm glad. We welcomed all the help that we can get. 

I closed my eyes and after what seemed like minutes, a shout woke me from my slumber. As if on reflex, I shot out of Dominik's embrace and grabbed my bow which I kept with me at all times. I crouched down and readied a bow and aimed for wherever the shout came from. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to face Dominik with my bow aimed for his chest. He pulled up his hand in surrender, "whoa there meine liebe, calm down. It was just one of the patrol unit. It looks like they brought back a present for us."

I relaxed my form and turned around to see two wolfs flanking a vampire dragging another form across the dirt. It was a vampire, or rather a banished one. The vampire, one of Giovanni's coven member, threw the banished one into the middle of the circle which grew from all the commotion. 

"Speak now, wench, and I promise to make your death as painless as possible. What is your name?" Giovanni spoke with Maddie right beside him, their fingers entwined. 

"Please spare me, High One. My name is Shira and I am merely escaping from Jonathan and I stumbled across your camp. Please," the young vampire spoke in between sobs. 

"Why are you escaping Jonathan?" It was Dominik that asked this question.

"I will not speak to your kind dog!" Shira spat out. Blood boiled at hearing this I wanted to hit this woman bad after insulting my mate like that. Before I could do anything Giovanni spoke in his regal tone. 

"Be careful with your words. Those wolfs are my allies and friends. You'd watch your tongue when speaking to them if you do not want to suffer the consequences." I noticed Dominik tense. I looked up at him and was surprised to see him smile at Giovanni. I guess he liked the fact that he called him his friend and ally. "Now, answer his question. Why are you escaping from Jonathan?"
