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. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"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.

"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."
