Dominance (Book 1)

Chapter 14: Visiting parents

We walked out the shop and walked towards the car. I opened the door.

"These costumes are gorgeous." I said.

"They are." she smiled.

We arrived at my previous pack houses and dropped Jessica off.

"Bye Jessica, I need to visit my parents." I smiled.

"Bye." she closed the car door.

I rode down the street to my old house. I climbed out the car and walked towards the door. I knocked and my mom came walking towards the door.

"Danielle!!" my mom pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back.

"What are you doing here? Where's Grayson?" She asked.

"I just dropped off Jessica and thought I'd stop by. Grayson is doing some guy shopping." I bit my lip. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Come say hi to your dad." she gestured for me to come inside.

"Where is dad?"

"He's in his office. He hasn't come out for a couple of days. He's been really stressed out ever since you moved away." she said sadly.

I walked to my dad's office and opened the door.

"Dad?" I looked up to see my dad doing amounts of paper work. He looked up at me.

"Danielle?" He stood up and hugged me. I hugged him back tightly.

"I missed you." he said.

"I missed you too, dad." I smiled

"How have you been?" He asked.

"I've actually been really good. How have you been?" I asked my dad, concerned.

"I've been stressed out. There's been attacks all across our borders. A few of our warriors have been killed." He said sadly.

"How have they been killed?" I asked.

"They've been tortured, carved and hung... almost like a sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?" I asked.

"Yes, sacrifice. Like a sacrifice to Satan."

"That's terrible." I said.

"Yes. Already 12 of our best warriors have been sacrificed."

"I'm so sorry, dad." I said in sympathy.

"Have you seen how they look?" I asked.

"No, but we've heard howling like a wolf and roaring like a bear."

"I can help." I smiled.

"No, you won't. You're extremely precious to us, if anything had to happen and you get killed, I would blame myself forever." he said sadly.

"But dad-" he cut me off.

"No Danielle. We will be fine." He smiled, reassuring me.

"Okay, well I have to go." I hugged my father and walked out the office.

"Bye mom." I hugged her and walked out. I sat in the car and decided to check my texts.

"I'm at home."

"OK."

"Why so sad?"

"I'm fine."

"Don't lie to me, kitten."

"I'll talk to you when I get home."

"OK."
