Blood Contract(Wolf Creek Pack 8)(26)

He started to struggle, his arms reaching behind him as his fingers dug into flesh. Danny bucked and kicked backward, desperate to break free, but whoever had him was pressed against him, trapping

him against the wall with an unrelenting strength that was making Danny’s body ache.

“Let me go!” He swung back, using his nails to try and scratch the man’s eyes out. It was a wimpy move, but he had to use what he had at his disposal while being trapped against the wall. The man’s fist slammed into the wall next to his head, a low growl vibrating through his chest. Danny could hear the plaster crumbling next to his ear and smell the fine dust as it floated through the air. He was scared out of his mind.

“You have very sweet blood, human,” the man growled into Danny’s ear, his foul breath making Danny’s skin crawl and his stomach roll. “I can smell it. You’re going to taste so good spilling across my tongue.”

“You can’t!” Danny shouted as he renewed his struggles, grabbing at the man’s wrists and yanking. Nothing happened. He wasn’t strong enough to fight against whoever this was. “I belong to Dominic.”

Danny grunted as his head was shoved hard against the wall again. Cold, sharp fingers scraped down his throat then tugged at the collar around his neck. Danny swallowed hard when the man behind him hissed loudly.

“You can’t wear that collar forever, human!” the man sneered. “I can wait.”

The moment he was released, Danny ran for Dominic’s door. He didn’t even look back to see who had attacked him. He didn’t care. He just wanted to reach safety. Danny didn’t even want to think about why he felt that Dominic equated safety in his mind.

He threw open the door and raced to the bed, throwing himself onto it and climbing up to huddle beside Dominic. His entire body was shaking as he tried to steady his breathing.

“Danny?”

Danny shuddered and crawled into the arms Dominic held out to him. He buried his face in Dominic’s neck and tried to move as close

to the vampire as he possibly could without climbing under the man’s skin. He curled his knees in and held on.

“Danny, what’s wrong?” Dominic asked.

“V–V–Vampire!”

Chapter 7


Dominic frowned in confusion as he stared down at Danny’s shaking body. He could feel the fear coming off of Danny in waves, but he didn’t understand it. Mostly because Danny knew they were vampires. He had thought Danny was okay with that.

“Danny, wha—”

Danny started frantically shaking his head although he wouldn’t raise it up from Dominic’s neck. “No, no, he tried to bite me.”

Dominic’s nostrils flared, and his hands tightened around Danny’s arms as an overwhelming rage filled him. He barely kept himself from jumping to his feet and racing out of the room to find whoever had dared to try and drink from Danny.

“Who tried to bite you, Danny?” he growled instead.

Danny shook his head again. “I don’t know. I didn’t see who it was. He grabbed me from behind and threw me into a wall. He…he said I wouldn’t always be wearing your collar and he would get me then.”

Dominic roared. He didn’t care that he was using what little strength he had gained from Danny’s blood. How dare anyone come into his home and attack Danny. Dominic yelled for Sully in his mind as he wrapped his arms around the shivering man.

Sully burst through the door, his eyes darting around wildly and then settling on the pair on bed. “What’s wrong?”

Dominic ran his hand over Danny’s curled back as he looked up at Sully. “Someone just attacked Danny out in the corridor. Find him!”

Sully’s eyes rounded, and then he took off through the door.

Dominic hadn’t been this enraged in a very long time. The thought of

Danny being harmed, of someone placing their teeth anywhere near his donor, made Dominic want to kill—slowly and painfully.

“Ssshhh, chéri, ” Dominic whispered softly against the side of Danny’s head. “I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

“How can you stop it?” Danny asked as he raised his pale face.

“You won’t always be around.”

“I’ve lived hundreds of years, Danny. I don’t have any plans on giving up now.”

“Bu–but, what about when our contract is over and you take your collar back? He can get me then.”

“Who says our contract will ever be over, chéri?” Dominic chuckled as he hugged Danny to his chest. “Maybe you will decide you like being the blood donor to a vampire prince.”
