Dominique felt the yearning from the women for Nathaniel. They all felt the connection just as she did. They wanted him. But they were afraid of him. They were afraid of giving themselves up to him. Of giving up their lives, their very beings up. They were afraid of.....being hurt. Rose had never forgiven him for being with another. It did not matter to her that he had sacrificed himself for her, to keep her safe. His ultimate betrayal had scarred Rose's soul. It had stuck with it.
Nathaniel jerked back from Dominique and looked at her. His eyes were dark, almost black. Dominique felt the fear of knowing what he was but she didn't fear him. She just knew he wouldn't hurt her. The look in his eyes was pain, not anger. Had he felt what she had about the betrayal Rose had felt? Throughout the many times of being reincarnated, Rose's soul had never been so closely connected with any of the other women. Dominique was the last cycle. She knew it. She could feel all of it.
