Chapter Six

Dominic closed his eyes for a moment. That wasn’t what he’d been expecting to hear. He wasn’t even sure Julian was aware he’d been dating a shifter, or he wouldn’t have freaked out when he learned of Dominic’s bear. He wouldn’t have been baffled as to how a wolf could pull him from under the bed by his ankles.

“It was Robert who broke into your house and attacked you.”

Julian remained quiet for so long that Dominic wasn’t sure what to think.

His mate finally took a deep breath. “Are you saying I was dating a shifter?”

“Yes.”

“But…how?” Julian asked. “How would I not know I was dating a shifter?”

“Could you tell that I was one?” Dominic asked. “Until you saw my bear, did you have a clue?”

“No,” Julian said, though he sounded resigned, as if he should have been able to tell. He looked up at Dominic. “Rob was a real asshole, but…his father…”

Dominic frowned. “What about his father?”

Turning over, Julian looked up at Dominic. “Ezekiel was even more of an asshole. He worshipped his son, loved him to death.” Julian bit his lip as he wrinkled his brows. “I had no idea they were wolf shifters. I’m no expert in your world, but Ezekiel is going to want revenge for what happened to Rob.”

Dominic knew that was true. If Ezekiel wasn’t going to let the death slide. Especially if he worshipped his son. Not that Dominic had anything against wolves, but they were dominant, prideful, and sometimes arrogant creatures. Then again, so were most shifters, including bears.

He had to warn Denali. He was the one who’s shot the wolf and killed him. Ezekiel would blame Julian, and also Dominic, because he was sheriff, but when he discovered who killed his son, hell would be unleashed.

Not that Dominic knew Ezekiel, but he would want blood and wouldn’t care who he killed in order to avenge Robert.

“There’s something I don’t understand,” Dominic said as he traced circles on Julian’s back. “Why did Robert attack you?”

“He was an asshole, a jerk who cheated on me, but he thought I should obey his every word. I broke things off with him, but Rob acted as if I never had. He still came around, still harassed me, and that’s when I moved. To get away from him.”

Men like Robert couldn’t take the blow to his ego. He was the type that could end things, but to have someone quit him was unthinkable. Dominic sighed, grateful Julian was safe and in his arms. But he knew that they had only just begun to deal with the ramifications of the attack. Ezekiel was still out there, and he would be coming for revenge. They would have to prepare themselves for whatever the guy might bring.

Too bad Dominic hadn’t known how to contact the next of kin. He would have told the father about his son’s death. It was the right thing to do, but now that he knew Ezekiel would want revenge, Dominic hoped the guy didn’t come to town.
