I looked at him, but as I was afraid that movement caused nothing in his person, not the slightest reaction, not the slightest gesture, there he stood completely still while even his paw lay right on my torn clothes and close to my exposed chest.
First of all, he seemed to be taken by surprise, I'm afraid he didn't expect to receive that reaction from me, but as always his face didn't give any sign to interpret, except for his eventual silence.
"I admit you have guts. "
"Thank my mentors for that, they knew how to prepare me to react to any possible idiot like you and I know that you are a living example of it Dominieck. "
I fixed my eyes even more strongly on him, openly challenging him and taking a piece of courage from my broken soul, I replied almost immediately after giving a sigh.
" Say... you don't get tired, because it's better not to talk at once and say what this silly Dominieck game is about, stop hitting it in the long run and ask questions that really make sense. "
"I am surprised that you have such dispositions, but I imagine that lies will come out of your mouth. "
"You've had enough of me, you've judged me the way you wanted without even giving me the opportunity to defend myself, you really want to know about me, who I really am, well I'll tell you, even if you don't want to listen to me.
I said that while the anger burned intensely inside me because I could not stand for a minute longer to be close to that being.
"My name is Emma Robinson that's how humans know me that's my name before them. "
I said trying to recapitulate the most important parts of my story inside my head without leaving out of the clear is to keep hidden who my grandparents really were and crucial parts of my life.
The reason why I had to keep that secret to a great extent is due to a request that I missed from my grandparents because after living with them I was categorically forbidden to reveal their real names despite knowing them so at all costs I had to keep them confidential.
That tug of war continued, it seemed that really that fight would not have an end until...
While I was still pressed against the wall, the aroma of the grandparents came to me with such force that you would have no idea, you could even assume that they were really there by our side watching us patiently, with great speed that aroma flooded my nose and everything around with despair.
I immediately perceived that I looked with my eyes for that necklace which I supposed that it was still on my neck, but unfortunately for me it was no longer there, that wolf had torn it from me, without either of us having even realized it.
With the view taken by despair I started looking for him so I diverted my attention from him, I urgently needed to find him because I was not going to have the luxury of losing him, not now, not ever.
So, pushing him, although I exerted little force against Domini, I really managed to get him away from me, to my amazement he made no attempt to stop me just standing there, he had been stunned making the whole situation more strange.
At that moment I realized that he was indeed off guard, he was as if his mind had disappeared to another place, although his body was right in front of me.
So, cautiously I began to walk in his direction approaching the one who instinctively began to retreat, I just started to get away from nowhere stealthily taking a few steps back and continue.
"You know I was born in the borderlands between Belcier and Venice, I am one of the many monsters that were born from the relationship between a wolf and a human, so the weight of my quality as an omega is strenuous. "
I said while staring intently into his eyes, first of all while he continued to say.
"The burden on my men is doubly heavy since I belong to both worlds equally, so I am both human and wolf, for the same reason I was rejected by my own pack, just as I was harassed and mistreated. "
To say that, although it put me on a tightrope by giving a clue where it came from, it also gave me an advantage because it was known that some wolves that hid among the herds in the forest enjoyed making tricks against humans since ancient times and as a result of that, such mestizos were eventually born.
So, although that placed me on the list of the many and multiple omegas that have probably been born, even so, it did not give any clue to my connection with my true family.
Until now I was completely aware of what I was saying and therefore I knew that I had to keep some details aside as much as they are my real name and where I come from, the pack in which I was born, so in my desperation I added some more lies to my narrative.
"I was raised by my grandparents after being orphaned, so some time after they took me in we moved to Venice, where I lived until I became independent after they left and weeks later I arrived here, so I just came to enjoy life. "
A mocking laugh came out of his mouth.
"You really think I'm going to believe you, it's just a far-fetched story, nothing more, you know I feel sorry for you because you've had to resort to it to try to see if I believe you. "
"Think what you want, but I already leave me alone, I arrived here with zero ignorance of your person I am not interested at all in being around an arrogant alpha besides so I am not interested in you for the same to me leave me out of your life. "
"I know you are insolent, you talk and talk, but you have nothing to prove. "
The worst of all was that he was right, he had no way to prove my words so I was about to give up and surrender to the circumstances, therefore, to let him do what he wanted with me, when out of nowhere the unthinkable happened for me.
Like a sign of salvation, the door through which I was trying to flee a moment ago opened with special violence behind Dominieck, that sound immediately exalted us because we did not expect that to happen at all.
So, we both set out to observe and tried to understand what was happening, to which the background of the place gave us an answer because from inside the kitchen an especially familiar figure appeared who first of all sought to make himself present quickly, so in the act passivity came to my life somehow despite not having finished all this mess yet.
"Dominieck, what the hell is wrong with you, I told you that she was not a danger to you, which is what you do, leave Emma at once. "
Lyall appeared as a faithful savior and behind him came also to our surprise Uncle Martin and Lina so that both joined us at that singular moment.
"Or maybe this is going from bad to worse," Lina stressed after running into the surprise of seeing Dominieck turned into a wolf and me with torn clothes.
"I said the same thing since I saw this idiot approaching" I commented after listening to Lina.
"What are you doing here? "
Dominieck grunted without delay, although for Martín and Lina that meant nothing since they could not understand what he meant, they still knew that in that way he would only seek to fulfill an objective, threaten them in any way.
Therefore, without delay that wolf turned around, turning his back on me, and placed himself in an attacking position at the same time that he let drool threads fall from his mouth.
"Lyall maybe you went crazy because you brought them here, Lina, Uncle Martin get out right now. "
"Not that, without you we will not move from here. "
Determined the uncle emphasized that, it was sublime to observe how that one puffed his chest of air pretending to be imposing and after seeing that wolf straight in the eyes he approached with a firm step to where we were, once looking that man fervently nailed his eyes against Dominieck.
"Try to do something, even if it's the slightest bit against her and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. "
An obvious threat threw that one into the air while Dominieck's face was completely absorbed, the things that Bastrii did not understand became even greater, because I think it must be understood that I never joke when I say that my life is a complete mess and to see that a human challenged him was completely illogical, but curiously his mind only focused on a single issue which without delay I emphasize.
"Uncle! "
He looked me in the eyes after the anger that had been drawn in him had softened a little and filling me with complete security I replied to that wolf taking advantage of the presence of that man there.
"You said that I had no way of proving that what I was saying was true, but what I do have, I imagine they already know each other, but I will still introduce them Dominieck, Mr. Lombardi or Uncle Martin as I usually call him is an old friend of my grandparents in the you can confirm what I just told you. "
After all, it was thus that with the help of those three that it was possible to change the perspective of that wolf, almost reluctantly he had to diminish his outburst behavior with which he was literally trying to hurt me.
Lina and Uncle Martín close to me remained at all times, they supported me and believed in me, but from Lyall I was never going to think about it, much less imagine, from him I not only received help, but also understanding and empathy.
Already when everything was calm, the tension had decreased and the tranquility had taken us while we were still in that alley trying to analyze the situation and trying to keep Dominieck calm once he became human again, I moved away from him and approached Lyall.
"Thank you for helping me, I'm sorry that because of me everything ended like this, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry. "
It was only fair that he at least thanked him because the sacrifice he made when facing against his alpha was to be admired.
"You don't have to apologize, you haven't done anything. "
"Now I doubt if it really is so, I guess I'm just a perfect magnet to attract problems. "
"Emma I come back and I repeat you have not done anything, Dominieck is the one who has made this huge mistake, the truth is I don't even want to think what would have happened of us not being on time. "
I lowered my head, the sadness in me was able to reflect how broken my being was at that moment.
Before Lyall I wanted to cry, I needed to, but I didn't I couldn't afford to show myself weak before them so it was so I ended up taking a deep breath, calm my emotions and calm down, before continuing that conversation with Lyall.
"By the way, as you are here as if nothing, it is not supposed that the kitchen was full of employees and the door was guarded by the betas of Dominieck. "
"It's supposed, well the truth is Martín and I took them all out of the restaurant, we couldn't afford someone to see him in that way, we already have to deal with Lina and now with Lombardi to add someone else to the list. "
"It's a fact too many problems we already have at hand, so again thank you. "
"It was nothing, now, little one, I hope you always have that same courage to face the world, I assure you that someone will always be on your side as Linsey and Eliot did that time. "
A smile was drawn on his lips while I was puzzled to listen to him.
"As you know those names, I have never mentioned them. "
"That, you will understand in time. "
That one looking at me with complete tenderness raised his left hand in the air before me which he had kept hidden for a long time already, and dropping the locket while holding it by the chain showed it as a trophy before my eyes.
"I'll just tell you one thing, even if you think you're alone it's not like that, they will be taking care of you wherever you go. "
