“No, it’s fine, I’ll get it. But, could you round up the girls? I’m ready to toss the bouquet.”
Her face lights up, as most single girls do at this timeless tradition, and then she’s off, hitting all the little groups about the tent.
I turn and head to our table, excited to finish off the evening so I can finally be alone with my husband. I spot the dark bouquet, but when I step closer, I realize that it isn’t my bouquet. They are lilies, but these are black, and there’s a note leaning against it.
I pluck up the bouquet and small piece of paper, opening the top flap cautiously. When I read what’s inside, all the air is pilfered from my quaking body.
My Gabrielle,
You are mine in life or death. The choice will be yours.
Dante
My arms fall to my sides, as fear and disgust wash over me, flooding me. I feel the black lilies slipping out of my weak grasp, tumbling to the floor where they bounce and settle at my feet. I feel the panic rising up my throat, suffocating me.
Suddenly, Damian is by my side, clasping onto both of my arms, desperately trying to wake me out of my horror-induced haze. I can only watch his terrified face.
“Gabrielle,” his distant, panicked voice cries, “What’s wrong, angel?”
I mindlessly look about me, noting all the guests gathering about us, alarm splashed across their faces, eyes wide with fright. That’s when I spot
him
, meeting those chilling, icy-blue eyes that have haunted my nightmares for months. He peers at me for a moment before disappearing into the mob, too concerned with my current state to notice him.
I want to scream out, move, anything, but I can’t. I’m frozen in place, paralyzed by that old familiar feeling of panic. The room begins to spin about me. I can’t hold on any longer. My vision blurs, and my body feels weak, too unsteady to hold myself up. Suddenly, my legs give out on me, and I fall to my knees, grasping blindly to Hunt.
“Gabrielle,” Hunt shouts and catches me in his secure arms, holding me close to him as everything fades to black.
I leave you with one last song, Daughter’s, ‘Tomorrow’.
Thank you for reading the second book in A Dominant Series. I hope you’ve enjoyed this part of Hunt and Elle’s journey. They will be back in the final installment, which I am working on now.
