Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 4

This news dropped like a bomb on me. Both paralyzed and blind. 

I kept repeating this because nobody prepared me to face such a reality.

"Paralyzed... blind..." I mechanically kept on saying, and this time I was the shocked one. 

 "It could be a temporary condition, Dominic. But I need to know if you're ready to help her. Clearly, in the situation she's in, she can't handle herself. When I tested her feet for sensory sensitivity, though, she wasn't completely unresponsive, which is a good sign. Therefore, I like to call it temporary paralysis. She might come out of it. And with her vision, it will be the same. Blindness is not physical like I already said, but definitely psychological. So, another excellent piece of news"

"That's great to hear, Declan! I'll still be here every day, as usual, and before you discharge her, I'll tell her who I am" 

"It's quite possible she won't believe you, Dominic. Your notoriety in the film industry will make her question whether you really want to help her or simply take advantage of her condition." The thought scared me a little. But I knew how I felt, so I was going to be there for her. 

"I'm somehow aware of that, Declan. I'll be patient with her. You have my word. Plus, you're the one who can back me up. One more question, which has been bothering me..."

"I'm listening..."

"The man she was with. Do you know anything about him?" 

I was so excited to see her again and, this time, talk to her too. In the last two weeks, the bruises have healed. Her angelic appearance aroused me in a way that no woman ever could. I know she still had a long way to go, but I would be with her every step of the way. I would be on her feet and her eyes. And it could not be any other way. She was my Luna.

She didn't know it yet, and I didn't think she even knew what that meant. I watched her every day as she transformed from the fragile lady, I brought into a strong one, willing to go forward, to fight her own battles. I had also seen her sob. Maybe she remembered something, or maybe she was just feeling overwhelmed by it all. Sometimes I felt the urge to hold her, to tell her I would be here for her and that everything would be okay. Then reality would strike and I tell myself to be patient. She needed time and space.

I also did some research on her. She was the agent of a successful model. Before all this happened, she would organize interesting runway events for her client, and things looked good. I also found some disturbing facts about the man who was with that night. That was Tom Fletcher, an architect. And with the things Declan sent me in my email, I figured out he was her fiancé. I still didn't know why those werewolves killed him, though. They were planning their future together, but life and destiny had other plans for them. So, at this point, I didn't even know if I felt mercy or relief for what happened to that guy.

"Are you ready, Dominic?" Declan asked me half-heartedly, writing in the papers on his desk. Maybe it was the discharge form. "Today is an important day for Miss Rebecca. I'm going to take her bandages off," he continued, raising his eyes at me for a second.
