Chapter You attack me, I respond

Lyall entering that room with his face completely would be a very common thing in him 

Now, when I noticed him, therefore scrutinizing him from head to toe, I could realize that just like us, he was wearing an outfit that did not correspond to his personality, so I can say that here we all probably decided to merely please Lombardi before challenging him.  

I could, first of all, go so far as to say that those were even somewhat similar to the garments that Dominieck wore where the white glistened, except for the fact of the details which, in that, those were visible in a red color that I honestly think was the only thing that made it different. 

Dominieck, after seeing him appear, immediately surprised him, curious to discover the reason for his presence there.  

"What brings you here Lyall? "  

As long as this is immediately without waiting continuously I answer. 

"I have come to warn you that the presence of both is required. 

"And that's because "ask in the face of doubt" something else is missing " assuming perhaps that some detail had been omitted. 

"Mrs. Susan has arrived, she is at the reception place and wants to see you both. "  

That once came out of her mouth rumbled in my head and made itself felt in the face of surprise, I knew firsthand that it was already late, but at all I imagined that she was going to present herself so punctually, not to mention that we are children of time and circumstances.  

"How, but when do I arrive? "  

"A moment ago just at six o'clock her car arrived at the entrance and Martín directed her once up the hill. "   

I felt what a surprise those words had aroused in me, so in view of such an appeal I moved away from Dominieck's arm, I approached Mrs. Meredith, I thanked her for how she had treated me and I said goodbye to her because I estimated that tomorrow would be our last day at the residence and I would not see her again. 

Once ready I returned to Dominieck's side and looking again in the direction of the entrance I replied after making sure of something. 

"A moment to where Lyall went. "     

To which Dominieck replied, "You immediately turned your back and left. 

"Tell me something Dominieck, is that he can not stand still even for a second. "  

"The truth is not, being my right-hand man without a doubt it is complicated that he can fully know what that means, well we can because I am undoubtedly no exception. "  

"Well, he and you will have to learn it sooner or later, the work together with the overexertion will probably make him discover in a bad way that life should not always be taken seriously. "  

I said that with my heart in my hand emanating a genuine concern because it was my full knowledge that for those two resting was a luxury rather than a necessity.  

Lina and I finally ended up discovering it one of those days when Lyall had stayed to watch in the apartment. 

By mere chance that night we both ended up finding ourselves awake at about three in the morning after hearing the sound of someone talking angrily from the living room entering the bedrooms. 

Lina and I, after listening to him, did not hesitate to leave our rooms after the surprise next to the envelope, which caused us to wake up, so therefore we ended up bumping into him once we crossed the corridor and entered the common room, who after seeing us tried to disguise his obvious annoyance. 

At that moment, despite such excitement, Lyall remained as fresh as lettuce, his eyes looked attentive and there was not the slightest sign that he had slept. 

Seeing him so full of energy at that time of the morning surprised us quite a lot, so much so that we even ended up questioning him about whether he was not exhausted to what he was finally revealing what he had already said. 

Dominieck listened to me, but he was indifferent, you could even say that he was unaware that I knew about his little rest, so he showed a completely disinterested attitude regarding such a topic and just mused. 

"As you say. "  

Annoyed by his fatal and visible incongruities that he undoubtedly emitted again, after taking a deep breath I approached him and held his arm while I followed him to the exit, looking to the opposite side trying not to explode. 

Already outside it was imminent that our view would not seek to be lost in the direction of the hill where the others were still standing waiting for us.

That man and I walked keeping first of all the tranquility with which we had already taken from the beginning once we left my bedroom; so far everything was going well, but as we advanced on that journey and the closer we got, I began to tremble. 

Somewhat mistaken ideas began to cross my head until finally, my nerves began to fail after spotting Aunt Susan standing next to Uncle Lambardi as beautiful and radiant as always who was watching me intently.  

I saw her and I couldn't help but tremble even more than I already did since therefore doubt dominated my thoughts, I was afraid of what might come, I was terrified of facing reality, therefore, having to fight even against the possibility that she wouldn't recognize me or that simply such a woman refused to approach me, which was illogical when it comes to the family, although it was not impossible for the years that had already passed since the last time we saw each other. 

I was afraid I could say that it was even an overwhelming one, I was afraid that my presence would not be to her liking and that instead of bringing joy to such a celebration my presence would only end up meaning a bad memory for that woman on such a day.  

Although I did not want to show my discomfort, I could not help clinging to the arm of such a man, so in an act of consolation, I took my right hand, which had been hanging down for a moment, to his forearm where I joined it next to the other. 

Dominieck instantly noticed this so he noticed almost immediately my discomfort so much he could it that it even seemed that he was able to read my mind, so in oversight of mine he stopped his march while I unconsciously tried to take another step more. 

"Because you stop," I replied when I saw him standing there still. 

"Because before I continue I need to make sure of something. "  

"Of what thing" ask and expect to receive a logical answer as to it, but no, instead what I received was first of all in bad taste.  

Such a subject after I asked made me turn on my own axis a little in the direction of him, I almost forced myself to look him straight in the eyes, I thought that maybe he had something really important to tell me, but no, instead that term doing or rather saying a phrase that could only come from him in such circumstances. 

"If you don't smile, I will be obliged to bite you on the neck in front of everyone, until you turn red and really give you a reason to tremble. "  

"Hey!... "  

At his message it was inevitable, I blushed and in the upper corner of my mouth on the right side, the silhouette of the closest thing to a smile was drawn except for the fact that I did not do it for pleasure but for shame. 

Dominieck thought that replying to such words with some grace would be influenced by me, but no, instead of him I moved my hands away, took a few steps back, lowered my head, and tried to contain the disgust that had formed with greater force in my soul. 

"Do you think it's funny" I questioned and sarcastically from him I received a... 

"A little. "   

I listened to him, raised my head, and looked at him, there he was so calm, even more than unconcerned while in his mouth there was a curved smile beyond the obvious sarcasm that emanated from him.  

I thought so much that I should look for a way to get even because first of all this feat would not let it pass so easily, even if he had to charge me and with interest one of the many things he has done to me, but without setting up a scene with her. 

So following his game I formed a smile completely on the entire curvature of my mouth with obvious malice, again I approached him holding him by the forearm with both hands and made him walk in a hurry. 

With reservation I waited stealthily for such a man not to look at me, but rather to focus his gaze in the direction of the road in front of us so that I could put my plan in motion. 

My idea was short but precise, I just had to convince my wolf to obey me for just a second merely to allow me to take out of between my fingers a little of the claws specifically the tip, elements that I would eventually use to nail them directly into the skin of such a subject through that piece of clothing, which I was surprised to be able to achieve since I have very little control over it. 

Anyone would wonder why this happens if I am supposed to be a mestizo and first of all at least that I should control, although in my case it is not so since it is due to the fact that since I was very little my she-wolf gave signs of being very rebellious once I started growing up, therefore I began to live together in what was supposed to be my family, the authors of my suffering. 

What I could not do as a human both to take the opposite and defend myself against the attacks that she received without a doubt despite being so young when I converted, she charged them with interest. 

Because of this, everyone in the pack was reserved when talking about me, they even pretended to reflect a false fear that they hid perfectly and which they used to accuse me of even things that I was not guilty of, so they preferred to attack me physically and psychologically to keep both of us at bay. 

The abuse for years was constant and continuous, heartbreaking to say the least until it got to the point that I didn't know me, therefore I hated myself until finally I got to that tragic day and my future changed.  

Now, I doubt that anyone can imagine the loud and somewhat effeminate whine that Dominieck launched once felt as my claws were driven into his skin, his scream was somewhat high from which only the first letter of the vowels could be distinguished being eventually elongated "aaaaa. "  

The one grumbled while giving some small jumps after feeling the bitter taste of such pain "already Emma, let go of me... enough" between his teeth he commented trying to emit those words protecting above all from the eyes of the spectators. 

When I felt comfortable seeing him squirm, I removed my nails and put my hands away from him, before such an achievement satisfaction came to me and I hope that I enjoy it. 

Once I got tired of celebrating I turned my gaze to his person who still remained there perplexed because he refused to believe what I had done.  

In front of his eyes, I framed a lively and radiant smile while saying "now yes, now I am perfect, thanks to you Dominieck " and turning my back I walked away from him trying to cover my mouth so that the laughter that came from me could not be heard so thunderously.
