Alpha Dominic
Chapter 99

Bethany's

POV

I can't believe that Graciela's mom is dead, I just can't believe it. She was such a good woman, she doesn't deserve this, she doesn't deserve it at all. She had welcomed me into her home with love and tenderness, she never made me feel I was welcomed in her home because she always treated me like one of her daughters. I can't believe that she had paid for Graciela's mistakes, she is innocent in all of this, she never even knew about Graciela's addiction, she was always trying to get us to save up enough money so we can quit stripping in the club, she always did her best to take care of us, looking out for us all the time. Now she is dead, just like that, and it's all Graciela's fault. Yeah, I know that is an awful thing to say, but it's the truth okay. It is her fault, hers alone. If only she had stopped using when I told her to, if only she had agreed to let me commit her to a rehabilitation center. She had brought this trouble on herself and her family. It's not my desire for anyone to get hurt because of her mistakes, but it shouldn't have been her mom, it's just so tragic.

Now she wants me to break the news to her sisters, she doesn't want to face them in this condition, she had begged me to break the news to Fiona and Ciara, she can't even bear to break this devastating news to them. Who would blame her, she must be feeling so guilty right now, I can't even begin to imagine what she is going through right now, she must be completely devastated right now. Her heart would be filled with guilt and she would be feeling quite remorseful right now. I hope she has learned her lesson this time, I would be so furious with her if she still continues to use cocaine or any other hard drug after this. This time I won't be so lenient with her, I wouldn't mind sending her to rehab without her consent, I would drag her there if that is what it takes. I'm just worried about the Mafia Lord that is keeping her locked up in his house, it just doesn't seem right. I know that Dominic had assured me that she is in good hands but I just can't trust that guy. For f***s sake, he is the Mafia Lord, he is a very dangerous man, he runs the f*****g underworld, and from what I heard, he is even more dangerous than all the drug lords put together. I wonder how Graciela manages to get involved with these dangerous guys, why is she so jinxed, and why mist she brings these dangerous men into her life and into her family?

I guess I'll have to stop speculating until I meet the guy, I'll have to wait until I set my eyes on him before I can determine if he is a complete a*****e or not. I know that I'm a good judge of character, I'm certain that I would be able to detect something in him that would expose his true character. All I have to do right now is to be patient and wait until we go over to his house. I still blame Dominic for using her as bait, but I can't dwell on it any longer, I mean, I should have known that he would do anything, I mean anything at all, as long as it gets him what he wants, as long as it aids him in this war against the lycan king. I just hope that this would be the last time that he would risk anybody's life because of this war, we can't stoop to king Ashford's level because we want to win this war, he needs to prove to everyone that he is not as thoughtless as that tyrant king. With the way he is going about this, he may end up losing the love and trust of the people, it would be so disastrous if the people he is fighting so hard to protect turns around and despises him.

I left him in the room and went down to search for Fiona and Ciara. I would have loved to spend more time with him in that room because I have some important questions to ask him, but he is too busy with his own thoughts. For almost one hour, he hasn't said anything to me, he is just lost in his own thought, so I left him in the damn room and went to sort out my own problems. He can stay in there for as long as he wants, I don't really care, I just hope he comes up with a better plan and not that ridiculous one that involves me getting thrown under the bus, I refuse to be used as bait, I simply can't take it. As I walked out of that room, I kept praying for him to come up with a much better plan and at the same time, I was trying to come up with a way to break this news to Fiona and Ciara. I have never done this before, I just hope that the girls are able to handle it. They may be acting all grown up and classy, but the truth remains that they are too young to be facing all this emotional trauma. They have been bold and brave all this while, I hope this doesn't break their spirit. To make it easier, I would ask their guys to be present when I tell them about it, they need to be close to the people they love, and right now, these guys are my only option because they are close by and they love these girls unconditionally. I searched all their favorite spots, then I found Fiona by the poolside having fun with Dwayne, they looked so perfect together, it is so easy to tell that they are in love with each other. I sent Fiona to go fetch her sister down here, I couldn't replace her anymore so I knew that she must be in her room with her boyfriend. When she left to get her sister, I told Dwayne about it and I begged him to be by her side during this period because she needs all the love and support that she can get. I also asked him to mindlink Ciara's lover and tell him to come down here as well, I need him to be there for Ciara as well.

We waited a few minutes before their arrival. When the three of them finally came down here, I got so distracted by Ciara's beauty and I even forgot about every damn thing I want to say to them. She looked so beautiful, so damn gorgeous. Is this how it feels like when a human is dating a werewolf, I get these dangerous vibes from her, it's the same vines I get when I'm close to a f*****g vampire. But that is not remotely possible, I mean, there are no vampires around here, if they were, then Dominic would be the first to sense their presence and I'm so sure that he would never let any of those blood-sucking vermin. I just don't understand what is happening to her, if it is because of their bond with the werewolves, then why is it not happening to Fiona, why is she the only one glowing this way, what the hell is wrong with. I think I'll have to tell Dominic about it, he may have a clue about it.

I finally got over my surprise and broke the news to the girls. I had to beat around the bush for a few minutes, I reminded them about the sacrifices that Graciela has made for the family, reminding them of all the happy times that they all spent together. When I thought that they were calm enough, I finally got around to telling them about their mom's death, dropping the news as gently as I could. Fiona broke down in tears immediately, crying so loudly as Dwayne pulled her into his arms, rubbing circles on her back. Her tears brought me close to tears already, I just can't believe that she is dead. While Fiona and I were struggling with our emotions, Ciara just sat there like dead wood, sitting like a f*****g statue. I looked at her in surprise, I just can't believe my eyes, even her lover sat there acting unbothered about the news I just delivered, it seems like this news is meaningless to them, I just don't understand why. Her fiance caught me staring at her and he pulled her into his arms, whispering soft words to her. I tried listening to his words, but he stopped talking when he say that I still have my eyes on them. If I wasn't bothered before, right now, I'm certainly bothered. Something ain't right between those two, and I have to figure it out.
