Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 86

I paused for a moment, raising my eyes to the ceiling. We were still lying on the living room floor. "You asked me about Luna. Well, Luna is the most important person in an Alpha's life. My mother was my father's Luna and loved him very much. I can't say the same to Eve. Both Luna and Alpha feel certain things, like happiness or even danger. And to make the bond between them even stronger, the Alpha wolf does an amazing thing. He marks his mate," there was a pause again but I wouldn't have expected her question to be so straightforward.

"If you love me the way you say you do, why haven't you marked me by now?" 

A NEW ALLY

Rebecca's story

I wished Dominic had an answer to my question. And it wasn't the first time I'd asked him this, but each time he avoided the subject. I didn't know the reason, but it was already frustrating. 

I was also the one who gave up looking for explanations. And it wasn't because I didn't really want to know, because I felt a tremendous pain in my heart, but because somewhere along the way I realized that this subject was affecting him, too.

The love between us was growing every day. Every second it deepened. And he never missed a moment to show me that. Even if there was this one doubt, my soul was at peace. 

I didn't even feel how this week passed. In between preparations for Emily's book release and the premiere of Dominic's movie, I also had some time to meet up with Logan to discuss the progress of the drug case.  

And because I had planned to involve Eve in this book project today, I was going to meet with her. I needed her as an ally. She was a very important pawn. She was the only link between Tom and his business, and somehow, I had to get her on my side. I had always suspected that her ex-husband, Zack, was involved in a lot more than he let anyone see. So, my talk with Eve today was going to be very important and interesting at the same time. Because it was very clear to me, in order to have her as an ally, I needed to fill her in on a lot of things. Including my actual job. I knew Eve was on the right side. 

"So today you and Eve are seeing each other, is that right?" 

"I intend to, yes," I replied, somehow lost in thought. I had to get them in order for everything to be perfect. Dominic never knew the whole truth about me and I didn't like it. But it was better that way. The world I was wandering in was dangerous, and even though he was a supernatural being, I couldn't expose him like that. 

"It was definitely him." I added, taking a large gulp of the coffee they had already served us. 

"You know, I'm so sorry that through my connection with Dominic, you have to suffer. Zack is so dangerous..." I could clearly see and feel that she was truly upset, but that was the moment when I decided even more to tell her and that our meeting really needed to happen. 

"It's not your fault, Eve. It can't be yours as I've been involved in this problem for so long" I began my confession and already Eve's face had taken on new features. Those of astonishment.

"You lost me here Rebecca..." Her voice was losing its intensity. 

"I'm going to confide something to you that no one knows, not even Dominic. And I'm doing it because I need you, Eve." Her eyes widened, and she wanted to ask me a lot. She had a lot of questions. I could feel her anxiety. "I don't even know where to start..." I continued, a bit lost, but Eve encouraged me with her eyes and finally with her words.
