Dark sensation

DOMINICK'S POV~

“We've found the girl, Alpha."

The door to my room instantly banged open and I growled in utmost annoyance at the person who dared to interrupt my privacy. Matteo froze at the doorstep before he gulped and quickly turned away.

Looking down at the woman who was entirely naked and in between my legs and my cock into her mouth, the earlier pleasure instantly turned to disgust as I pushed her away from me and stood. Her face flushed in embarrassment but she dared not talk.

“Scram!" I barked, before walking to the lamp stand, and threw a large bundle of dollars to her and saw her quickly pick it alongside her dress before scrambling away naked.

Fuck! Just right now I was about getting a goddamn rest.

"You found who?" I snarled at Matteo, who maintained an expressionless face.

"Leila Morgan, Alpha. We traced her and discovered she attends your former school..." His voice trailed off as I stiffened.

My eyes widened as I turned to Matteo, my hand about to grab the liquor bottle froze mid-air.

"Prepare my things; I'm leaving," I finally said, not wanting to reveal any emotion to Matteo.

He nodded but didn't move. Hastily, I gulped down the remaining liquor in my glass before slamming it down on the desk, then turned to Matteo with a glare.

"I'm not done, sire. The girl is in deep trouble. She's been arrested by the cops and is about to be taken to the council for judgment. According to my findings, she just murdered her father in cold blood, and their house is a complete mess, far beyond a typical crime scene."

My brows shot up in surprise; I hadn't expected that. The girl I had met just a few days ago, so petite and frail-looking—how could she possibly kill a grown male shifter?

I nodded, grabbing my cell phone and another bundle of cash from the lampstand before heading toward the door.

"Prepare two Range Rover SUVs and call the police station immediately. I need to know how the girl is doing." I noticed a hint of surprise flicker across Matteo's features, but my Beta didn't question my intentions. In the next second, he had already whipped out his cellphone and started making a call.

> >

The two Range Rover SUVs finally stopped across the street from the large police station building. Matteo was already communicating with someone over the phone when I stepped out, surveying my surroundings before placing a large black cap over my head to conceal my face.

I began making my way toward the building, drawing unwanted attention from the few gathered crowd. Perhaps it was due to my towering height and massive build, the expensive black leather coat I wore, or the large cap concealing my face.

"Please... somebody help me. I didn't mean to kill him," a soft, broken voice reached my ears. Involuntarily, I found myself turning in the direction of the voice, all eyes turning to her as well.

The same petite girl I had bumped into was handcuffed by two cops in black uniforms, their expressions filled with disgust as they pushed her toward the building. I could never forget her face.

A dark, unfamiliar sensation unfurled within me as my legs began moving in the direction where she had been pulled from the vehicle, almost as if they had a will of their own.

"Gentlemen, this is not how to treat a lady," I said in my calmest, yet most venomous, voice as I approached. I accompanied it with a fake smile directed at the policemen, who instantly halted in their tracks, alarmed as they stared back at me.

"Get out of the way, sir. This girl is a criminal; don't dare involve yourself in matters that don't concern you," one of the cops said. My wolf, which had been immobile, stirred, his eyes fixated on the petite girl who was shaking, her face covered in blood. I felt a growl building in my wolf, and I tried to suppress it. He was strangely trying to defend her which surprised me.

The cop clearly didn't know me but he didn't need to know not until I snap his neck next.

Before I could speak, Matteo was already approaching me, his gaze focused on a figure stepping out of the building.

"Mr. Darkson," the approaching figure called, his face marked with wrinkles that betrayed his age.

The cops holding Leila instantly released her and saluted him. He signaled for them to step aside, which they promptly did. Darwin signaled for us to move farther away from earshot.

"Your men were harassing my girl," I complained to the chief of police, by name Darwin, who forced an apologetic smile.

"I didn't know she was yours. My apologies. However, her case is a difficult one," he said, casting a glance at Leila. I slowly stepped in front of her to block his view, noticing him gulp before he continued, "This girl's father is one of the top men in the council that runs the country. It's a tough situation." He scratched the back of his neck, and I nodded.

"Matteo, make her sit," I said without turning to look at Leila, and Matteo followed my command.

When Leila was out of earshot, I spoke again, "Name your price." Darwin's eyes widened at my words.

"W-what?" Darwin stuttered, pretending not to understand my implication, when he knew how severally we had done these shady dealings. It wasn't the first time I had bribed him and was sure it wouldn't be the last.

I rolled my eyes at this werewolf's dramatics and asked in my Lycan's dark tone, "Two million dollars? Five? Ten? Name a fucking price, Darwin. I have places to be." My patience was wearing thin, my eyes darting around my surroundings, alert for any signs of trouble.

"This is risky, Mr. Darkson. I might lose my job," he sighed. "15 million dollars, and I need an extra 2 million to ensure the silence of the police officers who arrested her."

Nodding, I pulled out my checkbook and wrote the amount he demanded before handing it to him. His eyes twinkled as he took it. "This is our little secret, Darwin. Miss Leila escaped, injured your men and that's the story you and your boys will stick to."

"Yes... Yes... Thank you so much. You can have the girl," he agreed, signaling for his men to come over while I made my way toward Leila.

"Let's go," I ordered, my body itching with the sense of impending danger.

"No!" the petite girl disagreed, shaking her head. Matteo, holding the key to her cuffs, stopped midway with a frown. "Please... I need to take my sister. I can't leave without her. Please, bring me my sister," she sobbed.

"Do you realize you're about to be sentenced to jail or death? I'm trying to save your life, and you're fucking worrying about your sister?" My brows rose in annoyance, causing her to stiffen. "Unlock her; we need to leave right now."

Matteo hastily began unlocking her cuffs as Leila's shoulders slumped in defeat. To my shock, the moment Matteo freed her, Leila took off running.

It only took me five steps to catch up, my hands circling around her waist, pulling her back to me. She gasped and began to thrash, but I was too stunned to speak.

"Are you out of your fucking mind? Were you trying to run away just now?" I asked in disbelief at the girl I was trying to save. This petite little thing kept thrashing in my arms, and to be honest, it was amusing and yet cute. I instantly frowned when I realized I almost smiled at her.

"Let go of me! I need my sister!" she kept yelling, drawing unwanted attention as I forcefully pulled her along and behind me while we walked. I felt an instant jolt pass through her body to me and I almost let go.

Matteo continued scanning our surroundings, but this girl was busy screaming at the top of her lungs, seemingly oblivious to how tense I was.

I swear to hell! I’m going to gag her once we got to the car, but with what?

My Wolf growled.

Upon reaching the car, Matteo exchanged a few words with my driver before hastily making his way to the second Range Rover. I attempted to push Leila into the vehicle and talk some sense into her, but this infuriating girl had the audacity to throw a kick at my groin. Luckily, I was quick enough to evade her attack, my eyes wide again with shock.

Fucking shit! This girl was courting death.

“What the fuck?!" I roared but she was least afraid of me.

I pinned her to the car, my right hand on the car and trapping her, while the other held her hand.

Her warm, unsteady breaths are pure temptation as I stared at her pull pink lips that were perfect. I hated how she fucking felt so good pressed against me.

I hated how fucking delicious her scent was, my wolf agreed by growling within me, wanting us to take a taste at her creamy pale skin and find out if she tasted just like that. She smelt like crushed rose petals with Blonde hair, and sparkling green eyes that screamed nothing but innocence. Of course, there was this great dark urge to taint her innocence.

Fuck! What was wrong with you, Dominick, you pervert! This girl is way younger than you are!

I instantly let her go when her eyes narrowed at me and I could tell she had recognized me but before she could speak, the loud sounds of tires screeching on the road reached my ears and andrenaline kicked in next. With my back already facing the danger, I pulled Leila whose eyes were wide in shock into a tight hug and shielded her in a protective embrace away from the coming danger.

And it was just that moment, my eyes caught a familiar scar at her neck which made my blood instantly drain.

Oh shit!
