Dominic’s POV

I tended to my duties that day, just as I did any other day. I attended meetings. I went over paperwork. I even joined Marcus on his daily patrol routes, claiming that I figured my presence could be useful for the pack’s morale, even we we both knew that I needed the fresh air.

I did everything a good Alpha did, and yet it didn’t feel like enough.

My pride was wounded, to say the least. I would admit it.

Last night had been an accident. On my behalf, at least; I never intended for my parents to do what they had done, and I never meant to make Ellie feel uncomfortable. Most of all, I never meant to pull her that close in my sleep.

But I had.

And it felt so damn good.

Waking up with her in my arms, for those split seconds before she unceremoniously shoved me off of the bed and basically accused me of assaulting her, had awakened a desire in me that I had been pushing down

for some time.

Feeling her curled against me, sleeping soundly, nuzzling into my chest… It was like, for a brief moment, everything between us could be okay. It felt natural, and for the first time in a long time, it soothed my wolf entirely.

But moments don’t last long. That’s why they’re moments. Fleeting, impermanent, and in this case, they come with a harsh and painful ending that only serves as a bitter reminder of reality.

Before I had even fully come to wakefulness, Ellie had shoved me away, furious with me. Then, she had pointed my shame out with a shaking finger, and I had had to press a pillow to my groin to hide the signs of a basic bodily function like I was some kind of creep.

Most husbands and wives didn’t have that problem. Morning wood, at worst, could be something to joke about. At best, it could lead to a morning of passion in the sunlight, still half asleep, lazy and warm and perfect.
