Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 96

"And without telling me, I know it's about Dominic" 

"What else exciting is going on in my life, Sam, besides him?"

I couldn't even speak and, in a very natural gesture, I reached for the scarf I had wrapped around my neck. Dominic's wound had not yet healed. That was when her eyes widened in astonishment and she also rushed to me, removing the piece of fabric protecting my throat. I hesitated, but it was too late. Samantha was quicker. 

"What in the name of Lord Almighty is that?" 

I could feel the concern in her voice. She was still staring at the deep scar on my skin. 

"That, my dear Sam, is Dominic's lifetime mark on me." I said, somehow disappointed that things had evolved the way they had. 

"Is that supposed to be a good sign?" she asked me, puzzled, still looking at me. There were things Samantha didn't know, and it was time she found out. She had to know and get used to the idea. 

"Sam, I have a confession to make..." I began cautiously, but the fear of speaking said its last word and tears had already pierced my eyes, rolling down my cheeks. I still didn't know how she would react. 

"Becca, you are worrying me. What happened to you?"

"Do you believe in werewolves?" And my question came as blunt as it was shocking.

"What? Are you asking me if I believe in... werewolves? You mean those beasts from fairy tales?" 

Her reaction was so natural. I looked at her, and I could see myself when Eve told me the truth. 

"No, not those. The real ones" 

The more I went into explanation, the bigger her eyes grew. 

"Oh, girl, you mean wolves? Like the ones that attacked you and Tom. Well, there are quite a few of them in the woods, unfortunately, and we can't be safe anymore..." 

But I kept silent and stared at her. My tears stopped. "It's not that what you wanted to tell me about?" 

"No…" I replied in a muffled voice, still holding her gaze. "I know it seems hard to believe. I, too, have experienced the same feeling of denial and helplessness, but it turns out werewolves are real. And Dominic, the man I love, is one of them. And this mark on my neck is his mark, his way of claiming me."
