Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 67

Humans used to think that destiny was something one made for oneself, with their own hands, but I think we werewolves met it somewhere at a crossroads. It was very important that I could take it from that point. And there was no way I was going to let it slip away. Rebecca was part of my destiny, or destiny itself. Even though I had moments where I felt like everything was slipping through my fingers, I placed all my hope in the hands of that destiny that I had taken from the Moon Goddess myself. 

That's pretty much what happened to me. And for no particular reason, my destiny, Rebecca, though she knew who I was, didn't know whether to stick around or stay away. I felt her open, willing to try, but at the same time, I felt her fear and doubt. 

I knew from the first moment I saw her, helpless, scared and full of blood, that she was my Luna. And though there could be many obstacles between us, I got convinced that the Moon Goddess would help us. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given her to me. Then why did I feel so powerless? Why did I feel my past would keep us apart? 

"Dominic..." Declan had followed me to the back garden of the hotel, just below Rebecca's balcony.

"That's where she's staying. I can smell her," I said in a sad voice, sighing deeply.

"Wow, is that connection so strong that you can feel her even when she's not there?" his curiosity slightly amused me.

"I feel her everywhere and in everything, Declan. But at the same time, I feel how a past I haven't made peace with yet is keeping us from each other"

"Do you want to talk about it?" 

I turned my eyes to him. He really was willing to listen to me. 

"My most feared enemy has appeared, Declan, and I don't know why he did this to hurt her." 

I have long since buried the events of that time, but perhaps if I wanted revenge, I needed to remember them. Keeping the flame of this hate burning. 

"Dominic, I'm really sorry. If I could help you, you know I would, but your world is way beyond me."  

"My dear friend, you've helped me enormously by saving Rebecca's life." I heaved a deep sigh, then continued. I had to end this ordeal once and for all and start working out the details of my revenge. "Deceiving them he was their friend, he succeeded and lured them to the very spot where we were attacked and Jane died. I happened to be there because I used to go over there to grieve. When I saw them, I hid. Then Zack's werewolves, with himself in charge, attacked my parents mercilessly, first my father, then my mother. They left her nearly dead and my father could not help her. He got too wounded to move to be able to save her."  

"Exactly what happened to you and Jane," Declan added. It was always hard for me to accept that, especially since I wasn't strong enough to intervene. 

"Although at the time I had suppressed my grief and hatred of the man who had done this, I have not forgotten. I vowed he would pay. But in the meantime, Rebecca came along and already an attempt had been made on her life. Tom, her fiancé, was part of Zack's pack. But I still don't know why he betrayed him to the extent of killing Jane, his daughter."
