so there is something I have been keeping from you, but it’s not as bad as it sounds, so please…please Draven, just try and hear me out…yes?”
“I must say that I would be more inclined to try if I was not held against my will and therefore released from your grasp…one that I can feel weakening by the second,” Dom replied with the threat of movement showing through for he had been fighting her the entire time he had been kept to the other side of the room. A fact that was starting to show with the strain on her face at keeping him from reaching me. Because, as powerful as Keira was, Dominic Draven was equally so, for there weren’t many who could defeat such a being, his wife included. No, Dom just needed a little more time to break down his Chosen One’s defences and by the looks of things, he was close to doing so.
“Gods, but how the Hell do I…?” Keira started to say but I’d had enough of this shit! I just wanted to get the fuck out of there so I could find Amelia and explain everything to the only one in my life the truth mattered to.
So, I quickly snapped,
“Oh, for fuck sake!” Then I walked over to him,
“Luc, don’t please… just let me…” I then ignored Keira’s plea, and said the words I’d wanted to say since the very beginning,
“I am the one dating your daughter, Dom.”
Chapter 2
Through the Devil’s Fingers
The second I said this it took Keira the time to mutter,
“Oh shit,” before Dom exploded into rage, bursting free from her hold with little effort as her energy was spent and his demon was too strong. Which meant that once again I found myself up against a bookshelf with a fist in my face and for once, it was a series of blows I allowed to happen.
The reason for this was because this time, I knew he needed it and, as much as I hated to admit it, right at that very moment I welcomed the pain. Because it was one I felt as though I deserved. My gut had told me for far too long that I had dealt with this all wrong. That no matter how or when I had told her father, the outcome would have most likely remained the same…but that didn’t change facts now.
“DOM, NO!” Keira screamed behind him as I allowed him to rain blow after blow on my face, even as she tried to pry his arm back, he merely roared down at me,
“FIGHT BACK!” But again, I simply took it, knowing that if we were ever to move past this, then he needed to get it out. So, I calmly said,
“No.”
“Fight, damn you! Fucking fight back!”
“Dom please, stop it! Just stop it!” Keira tried when he shrugged off her hold, snarling back at her,
“You betrayed me!” She took a step back, holding her chest as if he had delivered the next blow to her instead of me.
“No…I…I…” she started to stammer weakly.
“You fucking knew!” he threw back at her and just as she whispered his name in a plea to get him to understand, he turned his back to her,
“Enough, I will deal with you later!” At this she found her anger and was about to speak when something finally penetrated my whole entire being.
I could no longer feel Amelia.
Meaning she was no longer inside the building!
This was when the second Dom’s fist came at me again, I caught it in my hold and allowed my true nature to take back control, telling him,
“That’s the last one you are going to get, now get the fuck out of my way!” Then I forced him back, using my grasp on his fist to do so, letting my true nature ripple through me. The blood dripping down my face started to be absorbed back into my skin as the Venom of God darkened my veins. The cuts, bruises and breaks he had caused, healing instantly this time as my demon rumbled dangerously beneath my vessel wanting to break free and chase down what was rightfully ours.
“Why, so I can just let you run after my daughter, I don’t fucking think so!” he shouted back and this time when he tried to swing for me, I moved with deadly calm, ducking out of the way of his throw, causing his fist to embed into the shelves behind me.
