Eternity is not a choice

Daniella's POV

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Dominic. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming. How could he be here? Shouldn't he be handling pack matters, ensuring my safety, dealing with Eva after her attempt to poison me? My heart clenched. Was I still unconscious? Was this some kind of hallucination born from my longing for him?

Then I heard a familiar voice to my right. "I'm sorry, Dani… I made you faint."

Lucas. I turned my head and found him standing there, rubbing the back of his neck with an awkward grin. I could tell by the way his fingers moved that he wasn't actually itchy, he was just nervous. And then it all came rushing back.

The fangs.

Lucas had shown me his fangs.

Lucas had shown me he was a vampire.

I shot up from the couch in my office, my head spinning. My breath came in short bursts as I whipped my gaze between him and Dominic.
