Dominic
Dominic knew what Olivia had done. Healing Atticus had been nothing short of amazing. She wasn’t a shifter and she never would have those abilities, but she had something far more amazing. Olivia was a healer and in all of the miles of the kingdom, Dominic knew he’d never seen anything like what had happened in Atticus’ bedroom. He’d never met someone like Olivia and he couldn’t believe that he was the lucky shifter she was fated for.
Though she had saved Atticus’ life, and the pack was eternally grateful, he wasn’t quite the same. The injury took a lot of strength from Atticus and his near death had left him drained and fragile. The pack had felt lost and empty without a strong Alpha to lead them. But Atticus felt there was only one man who was ready to step up to fill his shoes and that was his soon to be son-in-law.
So it was decided, until Atticus was well enough to take care of his pack, Dominic would be the Alpha. But as the days turned into weeks and then into months, it became clear that Atticus was never going to be the Alpha that he used to be so as it happened, Dominic’s new position became permanent. The pack sees that Dominic’s strength and ability, not to mention the lengths he would go through to protect his pack. They felt secure in the decision.
Dominic felt secure about it too, even though the responsibility was far greater than any he’d been given before. But he was ready to be a leader and in command. It was the opportunity that had passed by him when the king had decided he wasn’t the right twin to wear the crown. Atticus, the pack, and his fated mate all did see him fit to be everything they needed him to be, and he took that honor with pride.
News of the assault and Dominic’s dominance spread throughout the shifters of the kingdom and it wasn’t long before Dominic came to be known as a hero of the kingdom. The attacks had all but disappeared as his threat had been taken seriously by the poachers.
A knock at his door one day showed him exactly how much he had changed.
Olivia opened the door and Dominic watched as she immediately curtseyed. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes because he knew exactly who was at the front door.
“Mom… Dad,” he greeted.
They both opened their arms simultaneously to Dominic and he gave them a small hug in return. Suddenly their cold demeanor to him was filled with warmth that was always reserved for his brother.
Always full of business they cut right to the chase of things.
“We think it’s time that you come back to the castle,” his mother began.
“Yes, perhaps I was too hasty in naming Ronald to be the next king.”
His mother looked around the cabin, her face showing pure disgust. While his father stayed near the door, looking ready for an escape back to the fancy castle. Dominic smirked as he remembered that feeling well, the feeling that the small cabin in the woods wasn’t enough for him. But Olivia sidled up to Dominic and he put his arm around his girl— his fiancé actually.
He looked down at her, even more gorgeous than the day they had first met. When she had annoyed him to no end and he had barely been able to contain himself. Of course, he still found it hard to contain himself most times when he was around her, she had a way about her that just drove his wolf wild inside. But now he knew what that feeling really was: love, fate, and everything a wolf could desire.
“I think I’m right where I belong,” he answered his parents.
“You can’t be serious,” his mother protested. “This isn’t fit for a prince of your stature.”
He was still a prince, this was true, even if he no longer lived in the castle with all of its shiny objects. But being a prince didn’t mean what it used to be to him. He thought royalty meant everything to him, that being able to tell anyone that he was a prince was the most important thing.
But being known as the mighty Alpha of the protector pack, the ones who guarded everything that he held close in that castle, seemed to mean more. And to have Olivia beside him, a remarkable woman, a healer, and the only person he was ever going to need, was the most important thing in his life.
Dominic was an Alpha, a prince, and most importantly, the one that would love Olivia forever.
