Alpha Dominic

Still Dominic's POV

“How are you feeling?" I asked Bethany when I got into the room. She had woken up already when I got in, she sat on the be with her back to the headboard. I could see the lines of tears on her face and I know she has been crying. I wanted to go ove and pull her into my arms, but something kept holding me back. I could see that same guilt on her face again, although she tried to hide it from me. She looked away from me, looking at her hands as she played with her fingers, trying to avoid my eyes.

“'m fine Dom, this is not about me, this has never been about me or my feelings. It's the family of those people, Dom, what the hell have I done?

H... H... Have you found out anything, did you find out about their families, are they safe, we're they being held by King Ashford, where are they?” she asked me hysterically, the tears sliding down her cheeks once more.

“We are still working on it. We just got king Ashford's current location from Bianca, we at about to go over there and see if w can find anything that could help our mission, I only came up here to make sure that you are okay because I have no idea how long we will be gone, I need to be sure that you will be fine while I am away." I told her calmly, but I still didn't walk up to her, I put some distance between us, letting her squirm under my gaze, making her feel more guilty.

The truth is I don't even know why I'm punishing her this way when it is so obvious that it hurts me to see her this way. All I want to do is pull her into my arms and tell her to let it go, but for some weird reason, I still want to punish her a little. I watched her from a distance as she tried nervously to avoid my eyes, I keep wondering where her toughness and boldness disappeared to. I turned around and walked to the wardrobe to get some of my weapons. I could feel her eyes on me but I ignored her and continued with what I'm doing. I was just waiting for her to apologize to me personally.

Yeah, I know I sound pretty but I am hurt by her actions and I deserve an apology from her as well. Yes I know she is hurt an feeling guilty, but that is all on her, she killed those people out of anger, so it is only natural that her conscience would take atoll on her and make her feel guilty. But she also hurt me by her actions, she went against my orders and it is so damn annoying. I deserve an apology from her, I need to know that part of that guilt she is feeling is for me, I need to know that she feels guilty for going against me as well. Yes, I'm being petty but I need this, I need her to apologize to me as well.

She say there playing with her fingers and the bedspread, but she wasn't saying anything to me. She only wants me to find out if the families of her victims are in danger, she only wants to know if they are not hurt, and she doesn't care if I am hurt as well. I got everything I needed and I headed out of the room, but she still kept mute and played with her fingers and it kind of hurt me even more. I want to go to her, trust me o really want to assure her that everything would be fine. I hate seeing her this way and I want to ease her guilty conscience, but first, she has to apologize to me. Yeah, I just need her to sa the F**+g words, that is all I need from her right now. But it's either she doesn't care about my feelings or maybe she feels that she doesn't owe me an apology. I don't know what is going through her mind, but I won't be the one to make amends for her mistakes. I am making an effort here, the least she can do is to meet me halfway.

Iam still pissed off at her, but I still want her to feel better, I still want her to get past this. But I'm sticking to my rules and my demands, she needs to apologize. She has got to say the f*****g words to me. Then and only then will I forgive her completely. When I got close to the door, I stood there for a few seconds, contemplating my next course of action, stalling of purpose to see if she would come to her senses, but she didn't say any word to me, she just kept mute and watched me wall away. She thinks I don't deserve an apology right?

It fine. I guess I'll have to show her how furious I am with her, maybe that would make her rethink her choices, maybe that would make her see that 'm hurt by her actions. I took a few steps, but I stopped before I got to the door,

“I only came here to make sure that you are fine, Bethany but that doesn’t mean that I can let go of the fact that you went against my orders on purpose. I want you to be fine, my love and I need you to take care of yourself. 'll be staying in the nex room, for now, I just can't stand you” I told her, keeping my back to her. I heard her gasp in shock as I told her of my decision, but I made no move, I did not even turn to look at her. I just reached out and opened the door, praying desperately that she calls out to me, hoping that she would call out to me and apologize to me. But she did not say any word to me, all heard were her soft sobs as I finally walked out of the room and shut the damn door.

Pk

It's 50 hard to walk out on her this way, it is so damn hard to leave her in that condition, It will be so mean and heartless, that is why I couldn't leave immediately. I leaned on the door for a few minutes, trying to summon enough courage and strength to walk out and go on my mission. The guys are already waiting for me, Carl has tried reaching out to me through our mindlink, but I keep blocking him out. I told them to wait a few more minutes because I have an important issue to take care of before we leave. After a few minutes, I finally walked down the stairs, walking into my sitting room, ready to head out of the house and meet with my guys. Just as I got to the foot of the stairs, the bedroom door swung open, and there she stood, In her disheveled state, looking down at me from the top of the stairs. Her eyes were filled with tears that kept rolling down her cheeks, as she took slow steps toward me,

“Please, Dom. Don't leave me.” She called out to me, making me heave a sigh of relief as I ran up the stairs immediately, meeting her in the middle of the stairs. I pulled her into my arms immediately, holding her so right as she sobbed in my arms,

“I'm s0 sorry, my love. I was just so furious and frustrated, I couldn't think straight, I wasn't even thinking at all. Please don't leave me” She pleaded hysterically, sobbing in my arm.

“I would never leave you, my love. I'm just so pissed off at you. It hurt me even more when I saw that you did not feel guilty for what you have done, I would never have thought that you could do such a thing" I told her calmly, pulling my hand through her hair, and rubbing her back gently.

“I wasn't thinking straight, I was just too angry." She muttered softly, but I'm not buying it. I still think there is something else but I won't let her know what I'm thinking, at least not yet. I carried her in my arms, bridal style and I took her back into the room, placing her back in the middle of the bed, pecking her forehead and her cheeks.

“I need to leave now, my love. The guys are waiting for me, we have to go over to Ashford'’s location before he clears out of the building. I know I can't take him down now, but I need to be sure that he doesn't have hostages with him, I need to make sure that those guys you killed are really guilty, I want you to feel better my love. I know you will feel more comfortable if yo know that they truly deserved to die. Besides, he just made me lose a few werewolves and now I feel like taking down a few Lycans as well. I have to even the odds you know." I let out jokingly, making her chuckle softly.

“You're not still mad at me?”

“I am Beth, I am so mad at you, but, I'm willing to forgive you if only you can be completely honest with me. Don't worry my love, we'll talk about it when I get back. I need you to be fine while I'm away, promise you won't do anything stupid while I'm away” I muttered softly, making her giggle once more.

“I promise not to go on another killing spree while you are away." She responded. I chuckled at her joke as I leaned down and kissed her lips before going out of the room, again.

“I'll send in Harriet and the girls over, they all want to see, besides you need them to keep you company, they can help me stop you in case you decide to go on a killing spree again,” I teased her, making her giggle like a child as I walk out of the room. This time, I didn't linger anymore, I mind-linked Harriet to go up to my room and keep her company, then I went out t join the guys as we all see out to the location that I got from Bianca.

But, we were too late. I guess the news had gotten to Ashford a lot faster than I anticipated and he cleared out much faster than I thought he would. He did leave a few lycans behind, I guess he simply wanted me to think he was still in the building or maybe he thought that they would be able to take me down, I have no idea what he was thinking but he left a bunch of guys in the building and we took them down with ease because we thought he would be in the building. But when we got inside, we discovered that everywhere was empty and every piece of evidence has been cleared out. All we saw is a writing on the wall that is written in blood, it read,

“Late as always, Dominic. You need to keep up, you are getting slow and sloppy.”

That bastard!!!

He knew I was coming, he is just too smart for his own good. When I finally catch up with him, I will show him no mercy.
