Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 53

"No, Sam, nothing I wouldn't want as well..." Only my answer was a little ambiguous, but it was enough for her to understand that something had indeed happened. My eyes suddenly filled with burning tears and rolled down my face, framing my cheeks. With huge sobs, I barely looked up at Sam. I knew I had scared her.

"My God, Rebecca, what has he done to you? Did he... If only I had him here, in my face, I would have told him some words!" 

"No, no, no..."

I rushed to correct her thoughts and words again, because that wasn't the case here.

"Don't go there, please. He, how shall I say, made a move on me..."

"And you're crying because..."

"It all happened in the shower. I went to his house to get the last of my things and documents and thought I'd take a shower after my morning run. I knew he was not home, he told me so on the phone" 

"Okay, that was a good idea. What role did he play in this story?"

"Well, in a way he..."

"Oh, come on, Becca. Don't tell me he assaulted you, because I swear to God, he won't live to tell the tale"

"Yes, and no." Even I realized I had talked nonsense. 

"What do you mean, yes and no? Yes, or no?"

"That's exactly my point. I don't know at what point he got in the shower with me, fully clothed, and I was naked and so vulnerable. I kind of liked it..."

"What? What the hell are you talking about?" Sam's voice rose a couple of tones higher.  

When I chose this life, I never thought I would fall in love. As far as I was concerned, it was totally out of the question. But things didn't always work out the way I wanted them to. I could also understand Dominic for not leaving me there in danger. To be honest with myself, I didn't stand a chance. They were wild beasts. I had no chance of survival. It was still unclear to me how there were such enormous wolves and how Dominic could handle them all. But that was another investigation. 

From what Logan had investigated and learned about Tom, the connection he had with Dominic's family intrigued me. Tom was no saint, and if someone was after me now, they were definitely after him. I also didn't know how far that connection went. That was exactly what Logan and I were working to find out. And that Dominic was there and ruined their plans by saving me that would make him a target. So, until I found out who Tom really was, there was no getting close to Dominic. I had to play hardball and keep him at bay until it was safe. "Okay, you mentioned this man's name a few days ago, Logan? From what you're telling me, Dominic is jealous, my dear. I'm sure he wouldn't have hurt you." Sam continued to find reasons for Dominic's bizarre behavior.

"He has no reason to, he's just a co-worker in the agency."

"Yes, but he doesn't know that. He saw you talking to him and reacted accordingly."  

"You're right, but I can't tell him. And you know why. Sam, I still don't know what the significance of Tom and Dominic's connection is. Hell, I'm thinking the wolf attack wasn't so random either. I'm getting paranoid, but until I find a connection between the two of them, Dominic is in danger. Tom wasn't a saint and I know whatever was going on around him didn't look good. If that attack wasn't random, he saved me and that wasn't part of their plan. I can't expose him like that and put his life in danger." 

"I understand, my dear, but I also understand that Dominic doesn't seem so helpless either. And that you felt a simple wolf's attack as an ordered one, I don't know..." I still couldn't reveal what Dominic had told me about those wolves. It sounded like something out of a fairy tale and I didn't believe it either. But it was clear something wasn't right here.
