CHAPTER 37: MEETING DOMINIC

We stood at the borders of the highly secured camp. Wolves, panthers and rogues circled the camp. We watched the multiple tents in place, one of them was larger. To the far- east was a huge metallic cage with several humans inside. The cage was shaded by a large tent keeping it behind the shadows. The place was very secure, getting in or breaking in was simply suicidal and impossible so…I had no idea where we were to start off from.
We walked a meter away from the camp, the wolves kept a good distance away so the other wolves won’t catch their scent and announce our uninvited arrival. I looked at Clark, who had been silent the whole time and not as chatty as he had been the other day.
“Got any idea in mind of how we are supposed to get in there?” I asked
He looked on for some time then said “We can walk in, they know am rogue and part of Dom’s crew, as for you, you are not bound to anyone yet so you can come along safely”
“But Regina was bound to Vines coven – Grey!”
“You got her body, not her soul. So the bond is barely recognizable so we are good to go” Clark assured silently.
“Okay then if that will work, we should move on Grey and the crew are getting here soon” he nodded and we stepped out of the bushes into the open.
The wolves rose almost immediately followed by the panthers that seemed bored. Within seconds we were surrounded completely by the rogues. We stood quietly showing no sign of aggressiveness.
Clark spoke up to save us the awkward awareness “we come in peace, am Clark and this is my friend. We are one of you” the rogues looked at each other then they nodded one after the other before making way for us.
We walked into the camp cautiously eyes open senses alert for any unauthorized attack that the rogues might plan against us. We reached the front of the large unfriendly looking tent. Clark paused and I shifted my gaze to him.
“Am not coming in, you go ahead and explain what brings you here to him. I will be waiting outside if anything happens… scream my name and I will come in immediately. Go ahead we are running out of time already” he said
“I will, keep close and if the group arrives before I come out then try your best from stopping them from fighting, I want to save as many as I can” he nodded affirmatively and stepped back.
I nodded as well making my way into the large tent. The tent was dark and cold a perfect announcement of the cold blooded night creature occupying it. He was lonely for sure but I could tell he was still very dangerous and inhuman as he could be.
The entrance was empty nothing other than the woven carpet beneath my feet. I walked through pushing the curtains aside. Another chamber came into view. An old table at one corner with a few chairs, there was a rock chair at the far end and a large mahogany cupboard packed to the very top. There were old books and newspapers scattered at the table near the cupboard. There were two exits from the room.
I walked past the flowerpot with withered flowers into the left room. It had a large white board with lots of writings on it. On the table next to it was a map a ruler and a few pencils accompanied by a compass. I looked around, there were a few chairs arranged in a semi-circle. Nothing interesting. I walked back to the first room and took the door to the right.
This one had a large ugly table and chairs. There was a portable contained freezer at one corner a spear and a few ancient things on the ugly shelf at one end. I entered the room that followed, there was a large bed. Comfy but in a very bad condition. A small cupboard at one end of the room with a broken door. A few clothes…well shirts trousers and boots were arranged inside. I walked into the next room a bathroom with a wooden bath tab sat at the centre. To the other end was a small rack with a few towels there.
I left the bathroom and walked back to the bedroom I was looking around when I noticed another exit. I curiously entered the room to come face to face with five pairs of red eyes. I gulped trying not to look suspicious. Another emerged from the other entrance.
The vampire that just entered sneered rolling his eyes. “So it is your scent disturbing our precious meeting?” he cooed impatiently.
“Sorry to disturb” I apologized “What are you guys…?
“What are you doing here, and who are you” a younger vampire that looked more irritated asked.
I laughed nervously trying to keep up with the cold auras the six vampires were emitting.
“I come in peace my guys. Am here to see Dominic!” I stated.
“He’s right here” a thick male voice boomed in the room. I shifted my gaze from the furious young vampire to the fifth figure to the far left. My eyes widened at the man, my jaw dropped and I couldn’t help but gasp.
No way in heaven or hell could I have thought of such a mighty looking creature existing in this world. The guy was tall, his shoulders were wide such that I could see nothing behind him. His piercing eyes that had turned to their normal blue colour were magnetic. His biceps were tout and… wonderfully made. The black t-shirt he was wearing hugged him perfectly that I could see the outline of his massive chest and tout stomach endowed with wonderful six-packs. His legs were so damn long.
Did I check out his hair? What the…his hair was so dark like the starless night sky. It was tied back in a low pony tail messily leaving some cascading on the side of his face. His neck was tough, with that godamn yummy Adam’s apple that bobbled when he swallowed. A perfect definition of a Greek god! Oh…lord save me the shame if I was already drooling!
I shifted my eyes to his massive jaw then I realized it was moving, was he talking? I blinked back to my present.
“…what you see?” the others giggled in response.
What did he say, was he mocking me or what?
“Should I repeat myself or you are not done drooling?” he smirked…holy molly was that a fuckin’ smile? It was so enchanting and the perfect set of teeth…I was pretty sure his fangs were the best part of his teeth. I nodded subconsciously. I was brought back to the present by a roll of laughter.
I shook my head, did I embarrass myself?
“Leave us alone, we will continue with the discussion. In the meantime go prepare the strategies they will be here soon” Dom waved them off before shifting his gaze to me his lips curling up. Then walked past me into the bedroom.
What? “Wait…” I barged into the bedroom after him thoughtlessly. I found him pulling his black t-shirt off revealing his tarn skin. His back was endowed by a massive tattoo of a furious looking cobra with red eyes. He reached for his pants, I turned around embarrassed. The sound of the belt was distinct in my ears and the boots being kicked off. I sighed gathering some courage.
“Are you always this shameless?” I asked shakily.
“Who is shameless? You are the one who barged into my bedroom without nocking” he answered too close. His large hand landed on my shoulder twirling me around effortlessly. He leaned in and I leaned back nervously. His piercing blue eyes sank into my own holding them for long. I felt ticklish as if a magnet in his eyes was pulling my own to his.
“What are you doing here?” he asked coldly.
I gathered some courage then answered “could you step back a bit? I can barely think with you this close” I answered.
“Too fragile” he huffed a grin splitting his thin pink lips then frowned tightening the grip on my shoulders. I frowned as well trying to step away.
“What are you doing?” I asked nervously.
“Trying to compel you” he answered casually stepping back “but you are repelling.”
I watched his confused expression, my eyes drinking in his bare chest down to his stomach. His lower body was covered by a towel.
“Seems like you really want to enjoy what you are seeing right now” he stepped forward. I stepped back trying to reach for the exit but my upper hand was grabbed and I was twirled around his large frame covering the whole entrance. I tried to step away not knowing the bed was right behind me. I tripped and fell on it. He grinned widely leaning over me his large frame covering me completely. I could barely breathe due to his manly aura that was suppressing me. He grinned victoriously moving his face closer to mine, I could smell his glorious scent of the earth when it has just rained, delicious and intoxicating. God save me…give me something to defend myself with. Resisting this beast of a man was almost impossible.
“So nervous, your little heart is going crazy and I barely did nothing” he spoke in a husky voice. Lord! Lord! Was he seducing me “why don’t we try something out mmh? Since it seems you are already on the edge and it seems I can’t bear but follow along” the devil’s whisper! No doubt.
I squeezed my eyes shut and whispered a faint no since I could barely breath.
“Resistant? Playing hard to get when you are gone jelly at the very start?” being rogue was so bad, I nodded in my head.
“No, we can’t do anything okay?” I growled firmly “Just get off me already!”
“I barely can when you got me all ready and now you are leaving me stranded in the light…a drink won’t be that bad mmh?” his eyes sparkled with excitement. I almost rolled my own, as if I was the one who told him to leave his mate!
“You are such a devil” I spat at him, he grinned in return.
“Give me a drink or you are stuck under me for hours and I won’t promise you that I will be a good boy!” he grinned mischievously.
“Do whatever you want!” what did I say? “I mean have your drink and get off me already”
“Good girl!” he said leaning towards my neck. I closed my own tightly then all of a sudden he was not there. I opened my eyes to find him gone. Seconds later I heard splashing of water from the other room. I walked in furiously, he was sitting in the wooden bath relaxed, and eyes closed hair untied looking glorious.
“Disappointed?” he growled.
“As if I wanted you to in the first place. Are you always this shameless to your visitors?” I asked.
“Not shameless” he threw water over his face relaxing his hands on the edge of the tab bossily “I just love seeing that nervous and helpless look on your faces. Could you blame me?” he smiled broadly “And as a matter of fact you are the shameless one. You barged into my bedroom. Came to my meeting uninvited and couldn’t help but drool like an idiot. You even nodded to my question when I asked if you wanted to have a taste of what you were seeing!” he grinned even wider embarrassing me
“Am sorry for that okay, and can we stop talking about that?”
“And you barged into my bathroom…”
“Dom?” I scolded
His eyes shot open for a moment then he closed them “Don’t scold me, you are not my mother”
“I will be in a few hours” I answered to only piss him off but he grinned instead.
“What are you doing here? Who are you? And how do you know me?”
“I know you because you are such a trouble maker, a heart wrecker and a crazy rogue. Two, am Becky and this body is not mine, I will explain later when I manage to save your butts. Three, am here to save your butts…that’s a repetition I guess!” I looked back at me his gaze was dark eyes bloody red.
“Could you be a bit clearer or I will tear your throat off” he threatened dangerously
“Easy boy, your threats are so melodious you know. I know you are a proud guy, so a little pampering was the only way to get your attention without kicking your butt. But I won’t lie, you almost caught me off guard somewhere there” I answered honestly
He huffed rolling his eyes “I can squeeze you to death if I want to. So keep your mouth shut or rather choose your words wisely!”
“No need for that. Can you stop being a fish and get dressed so we can talk some sensible things? Grey is at least six hundred km away. You don’t wanna die do you?” that got his attention he stared at me for a moment.
“Did he send you?” he asked despitefully
“Do I look like a messenger Dom?” I walked to the towel rack and pulled a robe for him to put on “get covered boy, you are handsome okay? Now get dressed already, I can’t come all the way and let Elia be ‘mate less’ when I go back!” that surely touched something in there, his gaze darkened as he snatched the robe away.
I led the way to the bedroom and went out to the room I had found them. I took a seat crossing my legs over the other that was right in front of me bossily. It was good to be smart a times, when I entered the tent I noticed how neatly it was arranged despite being a temporary settlement. The way the small cupboard was neat and how well the bed was made scream how Dom was such a proud guy and loved being applauded for being perfect. When I entered the room where he was with his men, out of them all he was the clean and neat one, organized and the confident grin he had offered scream how the man was so sure of himself. So flattering him was a great method of getting his attention.
Though I couldn’t deny, I almost lost it somewhere there. But I still made it at the end.
A few moments later Dom entered the room fully dressed in a pair of black jeans, a blue shirt and a leather jacket. His legs were in brown safari boots. Good at dressing, who could say he was preparing for war with his relaxed expression and casual dressing?
He sat on my right facing me, his expression calm and mischievous. What a guy?
“So Dom, am Becky Gala Hue” his eyes widened “Yes, the daughter of David one of our greatest enemies!”
He narrowed his gaze “Our?!”
“You heard me, our greatest enemy!” I declared firmly my gaze holding his.
“And you think I will believe that?” he raised a brow questioningly.
“Take it or leave it, I pity myself for having such an asshole for a father”
He narrowed his eyes further “is this revenge games or something?”
“I don’t play revenge games, I prefer giving people a taste of their own medicine” my eyes darkened dangerously!
