44. Just go away!

Dominic's point of view:

After Liam told me that Vera is gone, I didn't spend another second in the Mystic pack. I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye to Ma Abigail. Liam didn't specify things to me but I know that I was actually the one that cut the call, not waiting for him to explain further. The only thing I heard him say is that Vera left the mansion. I didn't grab the other things he said.

I am now seated in my private jet flying back to America. I felt guilty that I didn't tell Ma Abigail about my departure. Well, I will still come back or maybe not. I just don't know. I'm confused as hell. The only thing in my mind right now is to arrive at my pack house.

Finally, I arrived at the airport. Stepping down from my jet, the car is already waiting for me. Liam is there too.

“Dominic," he called.

“What the heck happened? What do you mean by Vera is gone? Gone to where? Did something bad happen to her?" I didn't waste time asking the questions in my head. The car door was opened for me as I stepped in, curiously waiting for Liam's answer. Liam also joined me in the back seat.

“Can you start talking now Liam, what the fuck happened!" My voice is totally impatient.

Liam took a deep breath before he started talking. “When you were gone, our pack witnessed a rogue attack. It was so sudden. I didn't have time to hide Vera away. Before I could protect her and take her away from the scene, she already saw our form. I still took her away and asked one of our trusted guards to protect her while I, Kyle and other pack warriors fought off the rogues. After the fight with the rogues. Vera packed her bags and said that she was leaving. I couldn't stop her, I know that she was frightened. She didn't know that people like us exist and she felt betrayed that none of us told her about our real identity. I tried to tell her that it's not in our law to let humans know about us but she wouldn't give me the chance. She couldn't even look me in the eyes. She was so petrified by my presence. She literally ran away from the pack house even before we could explain things to her."

I clenched my fist. How dare rogues invade my territory. It had been a long time since rogues had dared to come into my territory so it didn't occur to me that something like this could happen one day so that I will know how to prevent it. I don't want little bunny to find out about my identity this way. I planned on telling her myself when I believe it is the right time to do so.

What will I do now? How will I explain things to her? It would have been easier if she didn't hate wolves. Just like Liam said, she must have felt betrayed that we hid our identity from her. How will I tell her that I really want to go up against the werewolves rules of not letting humans know about our identity and tell her the truth because I planned on spending the rest of my life with her but I was scared that she might hate me.

“Dominic, now that she has known our identity, you know it's not something good," Liam said after the deafening silence.

“I don't give a fuck Liam. I am going to explain everything to her. I know that what werewolves fear is the fact that humans will start unnecessarily war if they learn of their identity. Humans wouldn't want the werewolves to live among them. Vera knowing about us won't make every other human know about us so there's nothing to worry about."

“I get your point Dominic but she was so frightened when she left the pack house. What if she tells someone what she saw and then the news will slowly circulate."

“Don't worry, I'm sure she won't."

And then there were another few seconds of silence. My mind is thinking of how to explain things to little bunny. Hunter is really sad that she left the pack house. He said that we must do everything to make sure that she doesn't hate us or leave us. Liam spoke after some seconds had passed.

“You know that the council will definitely find a way to get rid of Vera if they find out she knows of our identity because they will think it's the best way to make her not to spread the news."

A low growl escaped my throat. They dare not do such a thing. If any of them think of doing such, they will have me to face. They shouldn't worry because Vera won't expose the werewolves identity.

I clenched my fist. I won't mind ripping the head of all members of the council if they dare try to hurt Vera. Anyone that tries to hurt her will face my wrath, not just me but Hunter's wrath too.

“Stop the car!" I ordered the driver and he didn't waste a second to bring the car to a halt after parking it in a good spot. I'm sure my other cars behind us also came to a halt. I can see the confused look on Liam's face. I am sure he's wondering why I asked the driver to stop the car.

“Join the other car, Liam. I want to go to Vera." I said and turned to the driver. ”Give me the car keys and also exist the car."

They did as I said. I got out of the car and took the driver's seat. I brought the car to live before zooming off. I headed straight to little bunny's apartment. I'm sure she will be there and if she's not there, she must be at her friend's apartment.

When I arrived at her apartment, I knocked at the door. There was no reply. I knocked for the fourth time before the door flew open. The moment she found out it's me, she wanted to close the door but I held it.

“Little bunny," I called softly. I don't even know where to begin. I don't know what to say to her. How can I explain things to her? I can see her red eyes, she had been crying. It made my heart tighten in pain, Hunter felt the pain too. We want to rip the head of anyone that made her cry, unfortunately we were the one that made her cry.

“What are you doing here?" Her voice is broken but I can still feel the anger in them and also fear.

“I'm sorry," that's the only word I could find, even though I know it's lame. How can I just say sorry and expect her to accept it immediately. The look in her eyes, she's no longer staring at me the way she used to. I'm sure she's scared of me now, I can see it clearly in her eyes. I don't like it, I don't like her being afraid of me. But I know that's what it will be. She was traumatized in the past because she saw a wolf kill her father. She will probably be afraid of such a creature if she sees it. Learning that I'm one of the creatures, she has the right to be scared of me. And she also felt betrayed because I didn't tell her about it.

“Please leave. Let go of my door." Her voice is devoid of any emotions. I have never seen her this way. She's always blubby and sweet. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to Mystic pack. If I hadn't gone, I would have found a way to stop little bunny from finding out my identity this way. I know that I wouldn't stop rogue attacks because they always attack unexpectedly but I believe that I would have found a way to make her not see us in our wolf form.

“Little bunny, can you let me explain things to you," I pleaded. I never plead to anyone but I don't mind doing it right now.

“Just go away, I don't want to see you. You are a monster, the same monster that killed my father. You made a fool of me. I was living with you and you hid the identity from me even when we had the conversation. Was you planning on killing me, was that why you couldn't let me go. Was that why you kept me close to you?" She was crying and I can see the fear in her eyes although she's trying to appear brave. The fear that I might hurt her. It made my heart clench in pain. I am ready to fight off anyone that tries to hurt her. How can she think that I will hurt her? How can she think that I kept her close to me because I want to kill her.

I was pushed to wipe the tears on her face and I didn't know when I gave in. I tried wiping the tears but she moved back, trembling.

“Please don't kill me, just go away please." she pleaded in tears. This made my heart hurt. I clenched my fist feeling angry at myself. If I had explained things to her earlier, this wouldn't have happened. Hunter whimpers at the thought that our little bunny thinks that we will kill her.

“Little bunny, I can't kill you. I can't ever think of killing you because I love you and will only protect you." I love her? Do I actually love her? Fuck I do. What else can explain this feeling if not love? And right now it hurts so much that she thinks that I will kill her. How can I think of killing my little bunny?
