Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 41

He had time to tell me almost everything that was needed. Tom was an outlaw and now I found out something connected Dominic to him, too. Somehow, I had to continue the conversation with Logan at another time. I needed to know more. But a lie was a lie, and it was there. And the worst part was that Dominic admitted to me that Tom had died even though I didn't remember, but he didn't confess to knowing him somehow. 

"Is everything okay, Dominic?" Logan was testing his temper, but it was a terrible idea.

He had just stepped into the tense scene, darting arrows from his angry eyes. His target, Dominic. And it seemed for a good reason, one that I was about to find out. Dominic got so angry that if eyes could kill, Logan would be long gone. I know he crossed the line there by telling me what he did, but he crossed it for my protection and for me to dig further.

"None of your business, Elliot!" Dominic thundered, gathering more eyes around us. 

His anger reached an alarming rate. Just looking at him, I could feel his rage rising. They were so close to one another and I just had to intervene, as I didn't want to have unwanted attention. I tried to get between them, but the way they towered over me made me feel so small. I had no power, but I had to at least try.

"You two, stop that right now!" It was my turn to thunder. 

My firm voice echoed over the fuss created in the hall. I knew Dominic could easily lose his temper when it came to me, so I turned to Logan and put my hand on his chest. This innocent gesture infuriated Dominic so much that in just a few seconds, I pushed his massive body away from Logan with all my might. The situation was getting out of control. It was only seconds away from escalating and I didn't want to blow my cover.

 I was still standing between the two men who were glaring angrily at each other without even thinking that they were right in the middle of an event broadcasted on TV. It literally trapped my body between their growing rage, trying desperately to calm them down. It was to no avail. None of them were willing to give up. This situation overwhelmed me so much that suddenly, the ground was moving more than usual. The last thing I remember was a pair of powerful arms reaching towards me before I hit the floor. I was the only one, though I knew it was the only way to break them apart. 

"My God, Rebecca, are you okay?" The next thing I felt was him carrying me out to the hotel terrace to get some air. 

It wasn't until I realized I was away from everyone inside, and by that I meant Logan too, that I opened my eyes wide.

I didn't even feel the time pass, and we returned to Dominic's house, only this time I had to return to my apartment and to my life. I needed my freedom to move around. Logan had told me some things that were hard to digest. So, I had to meet him urgently. So, I decided that this would be my last evening under the same roof with him. 

Too much we haven't told each other since we got back and until morning came. What else was there to say? Maybe I didn't do it right either, but I took advantage of the time when he wasn't home and left. Not before I left him a brief note of appreciation. 

Even though it was all leading to things that were incomprehensible as far as Dominic was concerned, I was grateful to him for saving me from those wild beasts that he, I remembered, called werewolves. What a hilarious joke. At least in all this trouble, I was amusing myself at the expense of a fantasy. 

As I had nothing of my own, I left wearing my clothes, although I had some belongings, but no time to take them now. I ordered a taxi and asked the driver to take me to the address showed by the GPS. 

And so, I arrived. My little apartment with an improvised garden. Although not that big, it was in a luxury apartment building. Mine wasn't any less, and I chose it because it was on the ground floor and I loved the idea of a garden.
