*Dominic*

I watched as my mom, Roman, and Natalie ran into the house after Starlett. I rubbed my jaw. I've got to give it to her. For a slap that hurt pretty bad.

I looked toward the forest where the sun was begining to set. Blue began to fade into red and orange. This would've been the perfect time to finally claim my mate. But things do go as planned do they?

"You, son, are a complete idiot. What were you thinking! You aren't going to get your mate to love your by practically cheating on her right in front of her face!" he dad yelled his voice booming. I shook my head.

"That may not have been the smartest choice." Roman spoke his voice invading my head

"She denied me so what." I said back feeling a little bad.

"What is wrong with you. I hope your glad to hear that she's now upstairs crying her heart out in the bathroom. She thinks that she's not good enough for you. She think she's not good enough to be with you. Are you happy? Is this what you wanted?!" my mom screamed at me.

My actions finally dawning upon me I smacked myself in the middle of the forehead and closed my eyes. "God. How am I going to fix this now?" I asked myself. "That's on you." my dad said, no sympathy in his voice what so ever.

"I'm such a screw up. I have no idea what I thought to accomplish with that." I said standing and walking toward the house. I followed the sound of Natalie talking to someone to Luke's room. "Starlett. Please come out. He's stupid I know but you just need to understand that he has a weird way of trying to get what he wants."

A pang of guilt shot through my stomach as I her her sobbing some words back. "I-I'm not good enough. He'd rather have that other girl istead of me." she cried. My wolf whinned at the sound of his mate crying.

Natalie looked out into the hall. She was just shaking her head at me. "You can't fix this with a bouquet of flowers Dominic."

Roman went over to the door and leaned onto it. "Hey, Star can you talk to me please. Let me in. You don't even have to come out." I rolled my eyes.

What makes you think that she-

The door quickly opened and Starlett reached out , pulling in Roman.

*Starlette*

I closed the door behind us and fell into Roman's arms. "Shhh. Let it out." he said rubbing my back. I took the hug greedily. It felt so nice to just hug someone. "What did I do wrong? My mom said finding your mate will be one of the best moments in your life but it's NOT!" I sobbed my tears wetting his shirt.

His hands rubbed my back soothing me. "It's really not yor fault. I wouldn't blame you for not accepting your mate right away. I mean you're young and beautiful. Plus the last thing you'd probably expected to happen was finding your mate." he explained. I nodded.

I pulled back and fixed my hair. "I would just like to get something to eat and go to sleep. If I'm allowed that." Roman chuckled and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "I think I can make those arrangements ." he joked reaching for the door handle.

I pressed my bady against the door and looked at him with wide eyes. "No!" I shouted a little bit to loudly. "Don't worry. They're all long gone." I relaxed and let him open the door. Holding his hand we went down stair. Everyone was packing up and going home. Most of the looking at me either with a look of sympathy, amusement, or curiosity on their faces.

Roman pulled me into the kitchen. I took a deep breath inhaling the scents of all the food. One in particular stood out to me. Chocolate cake.

I zeroed in on the cake snatching a paper plate off of the counter. Grabbing a knife next to the cake. "Don't think I'm fat." I said to Roman as I cut a huge chunk out of the cake and plopped it down onto my plate. I practically fainted as I looked at all of the chocolate contained in one tasty morsel. "God of chocolate and icing help me." I said as I sat at the breakfast bar.

I ran my finger across the surface of the cake and licked icing off the tip of my finger. "I wanna have yo' babies." I said in the manliest voice I could manage. Roman hopped up on the counter and looked at me as I stuck a fork in the cake and shoved it in my mouth. I closed my eyes and groaned.

"That's some good cake ain't it?" he said reaching his fork out toward my cake. I slapped his hand away. "Mine!" I snapped. "Geez, hungry much?" he joked. "I spent the last two months eating peanut butter, crackers, and stream water. I'm eating this cake by myself."

"Whoa. I didn't know it was like that." he said. I just rolled my eyes and finished eating my cake.

I leaned back in the chair and groaned. "I think I'm going to explode. Can I lay down somewhere." I asked stretching. "Yeah sure. Follow me." Roman said going back up the stairs.

I huffed and scooted up the stairs on my butt. "I'm so tired I'm going to die." I complained. Once we got to the top of the stairs he led me into a huge bedroom. The walls were painted a calming grey while most of the furniture varied between white black and red decor.

"Is red your favorite color?" I asked. Roman laughed. "Is it that obvious?" I walked into the room and sat down on his bed. "So uh. You got like a pair of shorts and a t-shirt I can borrow."

Roman walked over to his dresses and pulled out a pair of basketball shorts and a t--shirt. As he pulled out the shirt a journal fell. "Oooo... is that a diary?" I asked waggling my eyebrows. He reached for the book and then hid it behind him defensivley. "You can change in the bathroom." he said tossing the clothes to me.

I smirked and walked down the hall to the bathroom. I put on the pajamas and pulled my hair back into a braid. Satified with how I looked I tucked my dirty clothes into a clothing hamper and walked out of the bathroom.

I grunted as I bumped into someone. "Watch it!" I said instinctivley. I looked up and instantly regretted it. Dominic looked down at me. I must saw he looked pretty crappy. Reaching down and helping me up Dom mumbled an apology for knocking me down.

I looked down at my feet. "Look, Star I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be-" I held up my hand and closed my eyes. "Not today. Please." I said going back to Roman's room.

Roman was sitting on his balcony looking out into the woods. "Thank Roman. You are too kind. I hope this isn't too much." I said getting into his bed on the very edge so he that could get in the bed without making skin contact with me.

"It's no problem. What's mine is yours."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is it me or was this chapter a little boring? I just don't want to rush Dom and Star's relationship. So what do you think of Dominic. What are your thoughts on Roman? Predictions?
