Escaping Dominance (Heart of a Wolf Series - Trina's Tale)
Page 9
“Can’t fight the truth, babe.” Trina shrugged. Her cocky attitude was rubbing him the wrong way. She waited for the moment when he would come after her, already planning the steps in her head with what she was going to do.
Dean looked around the park, out into the sprinkling of trees in the distance. “Did you lure me here for a reason?”
“You were the one following me. I came out for a run and saw you pull up.”
He still scanned the area.
“You look a little tense, Dean.”
His head whipped in her direction. “You have gotten too big for your little britches.”
She rubbed her hands along her hips. “No, they feel just fine to me and if you are afraid I have someone hiding in the woods with a gun trained on you, you’ll never know it.”
Dean crouched low, his head whipping around, sniffing the air.
Trina threw her head back and laughed and as she expected, when he lunged, her hand dipped behind her back, stepping slightly to the side.
His hands reached for her.
She spun away, pulling her weapons from the back of her pants. She did a quick and hard rata-a-tat-tat across his back with the cherry wood sticks when he flew past her.
He fell to the ground from the blows. Rolling to his knees, his hand braced on the ground in front of him, he lifted his head and stared at her in disbelief.
The only sound she heard was him growling before he lunged again. This time he had his hands wide, so she stepped into him in a low crouch and jammed the stick into his stomach before spinning away.
His arms grasping nothing but air, he doubled over, gasping for breath.
Trina didn’t give him time to breathe. A spinning back kick landed across his shoulder blades and he fell forward.
Landing on her feet, she turned and brought the stick up across his chest with a resounding thud, followed by her right foot slamming against his jaw.
Dean’s head snapped back. In slow motion, his large frame fell backwards; he looked like a tall tree being felled in the woods. He landed hard on the ground.
Trina didn’t relent. Stepping into him, the heel of her foot came down full force into his gut.
Dean scissor lifted his legs and his shoulders off the ground, his hands grasping his stomach as he continued to gasp for breath. His eyes open wide, he stared at her in complete surprise, blood running down his face. His chest and stomach burned.
All of the anger and frustration of being a victim rushed through her and she fought back. The twirling stick landed on the inside of his thigh with a hard whacking sound. Her foot stepped forward, pivoted, she spun around and the blunt end of the stick landed just above his groin, she jabbed hard, pushing down, pinning him to the ground.
His eyes filled with tears, Dean couldn’t move.
Working out on a daily basis, this was nothing. Trina wasn’t even winded. “You ever come near me again I will kill you. If I even catch a glimpse of you in town I will hunt you down.” Her lip lifted in a snarl, her eyes swirled with color.
Dean couldn’t speak.
She pushed hard on the stick causing him to gasp. “Do you understand?”
He nodded, still fighting to breathe.
She spoke up, never taking her eyes off of Dean. “You got that, Dave? Any of you come near me or my son again, I will kill you.”
Dave leaned against the car. His arms across his chest, one leg crossed over the other.
Trina acted like she was going to kick Dean again and was rewarded with a whimpering sound. “You can tell your pack that you are my bitch now.”
With the full moon the next night, Trina knew Dean would shift and repair the busted nose, his broken jaw and ribs. If he was smart, he wouldn’t come for her again.
Stepping cautiously away, she turned and left Dean lying on the dirt. Walking towards the parking lot, she twirled her sticks and watched Dave, knowing Dean wasn’t going anywhere soon.
“I just came along for the trip to Vegas,” Dave told her with a grin.
She had always liked Dean’s younger brother. He was different, but still his pack member. “I mean it, Dave. Keep him away from me or he will be dead. I’m no longer anyone’s punching bag.”
“Yeah, I see that. Like you said, he’s your bitch now.”
Trina lifted her chin in acknowledgement and got into her car. Looking out the windshield, Dean was slowly trying to lift himself up and fell back to the ground. He had gotten off light for the six years of abuse he had put her through. With a satisfied smile that she could take care of herself, Trina backed out of the parking lot and headed back out of town. She would make her shift the next night and go back home to her son. Dean was no longer in charge of her life.

SPECIAL NOTE:
Heart of a Wolf Series – Softest Touch is in process. I am anticipating a release date towards the end of 2012, early 2013.
Currently the series is slated for 5 novels. However, with all the stories lines I am creating in the short stories, I can see that this series will extend further.
Check my website or contact me for more information.heartofawolfseries.blogspot.com
I contracted with Renaissance E-Books – Sizzler Edition for a new line they have started featuring Erotica Paranormal Romance.
For this line, ONE BITE TO PASSION is a steamy story that was released on May 18, 2012 and is available at SizzlerEditions.com and Amazon, B&N.
I am in the process of creating a series - Mistress of Passion, keeping in line with the current erotica story. The plan is to write one novella every three months, maybe sooner if the mood strikes. Or depends on how hard the publisher pushes for my next story…which he is still asking for.
