Dominic raised his head and looked at the sky that was darkening even further. He narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the seer who was sitting behind him. Three hours ago, she came to look for him, saying that she had seen something. As for what that something was—Dominic had no idea what it was because she came down to his home and then sat down on the floor with her legs crossed.
"It’s not good."
Dominic closed his eyes and opened them again. He had to tell himself that there was only one seer in his pack and that there was no way he could kill her. Unless he wanted himself at the end of pitchforks by the pack.
This old woman was more important to the pack members than their alpha. Traitors.
"Did you come to my house in the middle of the night to tell me that it’s not good?" Dominic asked, barely keeping the anger out of his tone.
The old woman shook her head. Her wispy voice echoed in the silent room once again, "It’s a mistake. What you have done is a mistake, and what you are doing is a mistake."
"What do you mean?" Dominic turned around to face the woman completely. A thunderstrike flashed behind him as the cloud started to grumble louder than the stomach of a hungry shifter.
"I don’t know. There is so much interference, like someone is stopping me from seeing what lies ahead—magic, ancient and darker than the night that you are looking at." The seer rose from the floor. Her white eyes were staring ahead of him as if she could see through things which he couldn’t. "You have missed what you should have noticed from the start. And now that you have failed, things have deviated from the path they should have taken. They are headed for destruction—it’s not a good sign."
"It’s never a good sign with you humans," sighed the seer as she walked past him. "You fail to see what is important. Always."
And as she walked to the door of his house, she paused and turned to look at him. Her eyes staring at him creepily, "And you have lost what mattered the most to you. So, you might as well stop struggling."
After that, she walked out of the door as if she had never come to look for him.
"Well, yeah... thanks for nothing," Dominic stated behind the back of the woman. His wolf raised his hackles as he processed the words that the seer spoke to them.
’Does she mean to say that we have lost Inez for good?’ asked his wolf.
’No, she must be speaking about Abertha. She was the only one who was most important to me,’ Dominic corrected his wolf. He didn’t believe that the seer was talking about Inez.
His wolf snorted. ’Deny. Keep on denying. Your denial caused me to lose my mate. If you were not my human, I would have killed you with my own hands.’
"She was not talking about Inez!" Dominic snapped. His voice rose to another degree as he refused to accept the words of the seer. As for whether the man was refusing to accept that Inez was important to him, more important than Abertha or that he had lost her for good, he was the only one aware of it.
His wolf turned silent.
However, a beat later, he said, ’You will regret it, Dominic. You will. Mark my words.’
"Alpha!" One of the pack members noticed Dominic and exclaimed loudly. Loud enough for the mate of the tiger shifter to hear. She turned on her feet and rushed to where Dominic was standing. She reached out and clasped hold of his clothes. "You have to help me, Alpha! You need to bring him back... I cannot survive without him. I cannot! I beg you. You have to do something."
