I feel so blessed to finally hit the 2.0 part of my novel. I love all of my fans and supporters of Dom. I honestly never thought I would be reaching chapter 20. I mean it's crazy to think that I've made it this far.

Not too long ago I never reached a story that had ten chapters. I hope I don't disappoint you all and not give up on this story. Because Dom is worth writing about, she's cray cray!!

XOXOXO

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It had been three days since I last had a solid conversation with Kole. It wasn't because I was busy with my lycan family doing some cook outs and charity events. It was everything but that, not only have I not met my uncle, my father's brother, but my two cousins were being a pain in my ass.

Diana kept on trying to play sneaky pranks, like dying most of my clothes black by accident. Leaving snarky comments about my lack of class. Which honestly it didn't bother me, back in America my aunt  Olivia would constantly note my lack of discipline. With all due non existent respect I've always had problems with authority.

Even as I now sat on the courtyard lounge chairs, gazing over at the sunset. I couldn't help but think back on my vampire family. Sure they weren't the best, they didn't make an effort to get me. Except there was a little part of me that missed them.

I missed the way Olivia would get mad at me.

I missed the way Theo would sneak me some blood wine.

I missed Dastan dueling me in Mortal Kombat.

There was a small portion of good memories of my family over there in America. Maybe the fighting in and the disgrace was part of the reasons why we just exploded. But comparing the American Fight Club vs Spanish Royalty. I wanted my fight club, at least for just a little.

I held my little mug that Nana gave me half an hour ago, and took a sip of tequila. Aside from me, Nana had noticed the way Diana had been pushing at me. Especially when she purposely steals Kole away on some mansion retreats. My wolf side, well lycan blood, wanted to rip her blondie bob head off and stomp her.

The history between those two was murky and I wanted to know more about stuff that's going on here. Maybe I need to make more effort into being sneak and rummage into their own lives. But the pride I have is a lot stronger than my shunned self. Did I really want to know who these lycans are? They made no efforts to find out who I was. The more I think about it, the more I wonder if there was anyone, who isn't Nana, that wondered what happened to my father.

I took another long sip of the tequila and let the warm liquid calm down my beast. Three days of being in this Spanish hell hole and I'm basically still in square one. Making me just a tad bit more irritated for now.

"You look so much like your mother." I hear someone exhale few steps away from me. It was odd that my instincts hadn't spiked at the approach of someone, because it literally did take me by surprise. I jumped back in my little lounge chair and locked eyes with a very stunning man.

When I mean stunning, I mean hot in a sexy forty year old way. I'm talking about Brad Pitt level hot! His facial structure was meticulously manly, with a bit of five'o clock shade. His blue eyes were so beautiful that it was hard to not drool. They looked a bit familiar though.

His body though, he was a fit man. That's when I noticed his clothing, a nice dark blue tinted jeans with a white button down shirt. He looked almost sophisticated in a casual form.

It took my mind a bit to process before I remembered what he said.

"I'm sorry you know my mother?" My tone wasn't on the defense, because my body and my wolf did not recognize this handsome man as a threat. Nomally I would've probably given him some attitude especially when he opened up his mouth to mention my mother. 

"Si, I apologize yes I did meet your mother a long time ago." His Spanish was perfect no accent at all, and his English was just as perfect with no accent as well. This man could be an A-list for all I knew.

"I'm sorry... I just haven't heard anyone tell me that." Which was true even Nana told me that I looked more like my dad than my mom.

"She once came to this mansion, it was a Blue Blood Ball." He smiled and realized that he was going a bit too deep in this conversation.

"I deeply apologize, my name's Aidan Del Torro. Pleasure to meet you." He offered his hand and it didn't take me long to reach out and shake it. Our skin to skin contact didn't give me any red flags. Usually I'm good at reading people, it's in the way they carry themselves. And the look in one's eyes as well as the touch of one's skin. But this Del Torro guy he didn't give that vibe at all, I felt calmed.

"Del Torro? Why do I feel like I've seen that name before." I said smiling just a bit at him. I stood up for a bit and offered him the other lounge chair for him to sit with.

His smile was small and crooked but it lit up his eyes more and just shook his head. "Maybe if you take a look at the bottle of tequila you're drinking it will click."

Some sass in this man and yet he maintained some class, I let out an honest giggle and looked back. As soon as my eyes read the Tequila del Torro circular bottle  I felt like a bit of an idiot.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you. I'm a foreign and honestly the only thing I drank back in America was bl- wine." Correcting myself almost immediately, because I didn't know if he was well not human. He gave me a warm grin and just lightly shook his head.

"It's alright Miss Unknown, my tequila isn't that popular with teens such as yourself." Again another well tamed sassy comment and I was already warming up to the guy.

"You can call me Miss Dominyque Pierce, but since you're being such a nice gentleman I'm Pierce to you." My sass wasn't in a form of a dagger it was more of a poke than anything else. Only special people, like Kole, would understand my pokes. This would be the ultimate test for anyone that I could potentially get close to.

His eyebrow gave one smooth arch mixed with his grin, "Alright Pierce it is, in that case now that I know your name. I can openly confess as to why I came here." He took a deep breath and his expression made a swift transformation to dead serious.

"I could smell your boredom mixed with irritation all over to my villa." That was the most unexpected comment, but it flattered me to know that at least someone was actually noticing it. In this case, a stranger noticed.

"Yeah, it's a bit complicated but thank you for detecting my negative feelings. But now you have my interest peaked, where did you come from?" I asked taking another sip of my mug.

"You want the anatomical answer? I would think school would teach where I come from." the tequila I had in my mouth literally spit out in my mug, an unexpected cough laughter bursted through my lips.

"No no! Oh God." I said grabbing a napkin and wiped my mouth. "I mean where do you live?"  I said trying to cool down my awkward blush.

"I'm actually your neighbor. I have an agave crop lands a bit further down the road, and I was honestly just horse back ridding." He said casually and tilted his head to the side. My gaze followed and sure enough there was this beautiful black haired mustang just minding it's business near a tree shade.

"I've never really seen crop place." The idea of riding a horse wasn't in my bucket list. I am a wolf, I like to do the running and dashing through the trees. Not riding another animal.

"Maybe you could visit, when you're bored as hell. Like right now." He smiled at me and I couldn't help but giggle. I lip my bottom lip a bit and turned towards the mansion. Diana was still with Kole doing some store mall thing. Nana was busy doing this preparing for some banquet tonight. And Stefan was hooking up with one of the maids.

Returning my gaze to Aidan as he stands up and fixes his shirt. I place my mug back on the little table and stand up.

"Why not make it right now? I am literally bored out of my mind, and well... I really need to meet someone that wants me to be there with them." Which was true, his gaze soften and he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"I'd like to have you over." He guided me back over to his horse and in my mind... I wasn't feeling guilty for not telling Kole. He is with Diana and now i'm going to have fun with Aidan.
