Wolf in the Castle

By Monique McMorgan

The weekend of Dominic and Patrice’s wedding has arrived. The wolves leave Timber Creek for Colt city where Patrice’s dream venue, Castle Richards, is located. Upon arriving in Colt city, Dominic meets with his uncle, who gives Dominic a grave but vague warning about Castle Richards. As Castle Richards is where Patrice has always dreamt of getting married, Dominic doesn’t heed his uncle’s warning, chalking it up as little more than bizarre behavior from a strange relative.
During the night of the rehearsal dinner, Dominic is kidnapped and dragged away into a secret laboratory in Castle Richards where he learns the shocking secret of the castle: Branson Richard was more than just an eccentric millionaire, he was experimenting in the world of magic and trying to find a way to live forever. The ghost of Branson has orchestrated the whole series of events in the castle to trap Dominic and steal his body.

Chapter One

Dominic’s things were neatly folded and laid out on the bed. He carefully sorted through his closet and picked out everything he would need for the trip. Patrice, on the other hand, had her half of the bed covered in a jumbled heap of clothing.

Do you think I’ll need my black jacket? Patrice was holding up a jacket that he had never seen Patrice wear before, and it was the middle of the summer.

I think you’ll be fine without it, Dominic replied but Patrice kept looking at the jacket.

I’ll put it into the ‘maybe’ pile. Patrice threw the jacket onto a large heap of clothing that was her maybe pile. It contained pretty much everything from her side of the closet. We shouldn’t have left packing to last minute, Patrice’s tone was tense and Dominic could tell she was getting worked up. That had been happening a lot lately - Patrice getting worked up.

Ever since Dominic proposed to Patrice after the whole mess with the doppelganger, everything had been about the wedding Every detail had been a point of stress for Patrice. She was determined to have the wedding of her dreams, and while Dominic was happy to give her the wedding of her dreams, he had no idea how much needed to go into it. Every day something else came up, some small detail Dominic never even thought about, but to Patrice, it was life or death. The one thing they didn’t need to worry about, though, was the venue.

Ever since Patrice had been a little girl, she had always dreamt of getting married at Castle Richards in Colt city. The first thing they did after getting engaged had been to phone Castle Richards and set a date. Then the months crept by, the dress got purchased, the decorations sorted out, the flowers picked, and the suits tailored, and all that was left was to actually get the wedding started.

Dominic neatly laid out all of his clothes in a small duffle bag, zipped it shut, and threw his suit on top.

Well, I’m all ready to go. He said to her while moving his things to the front door.

You’re ready to go!? Patrice was shocked. I’m not even close! She was knee deep in clothing and looked around desperately.

We’re only going for a few days, They were planning on heading to Colt City a couple of days before their guests. Patrice was insistent that they check over the venue to make sure everything was perfect before the wedding started. Dominic wanted to go up a couple days early to see his uncle who he hadn’t seen in years. Dominic’s uncle, Lex Pearson, was the only blood relative Dominic had coming to the wedding.

Dominic’s family was pretty much non-existent. His father, Lex’s brother, had died in a clan feud decades earlier, and his mother had died from cancer when Dominic had been a teenager. He had no brothers or sisters, and no cousins that he knew of. It meant a lot to Dominic that at least someone from his family was there, and that only left Uncle Lex.

Lex Pearson was a wolf that didn’t care much for the clans, and as a result, he moved away from Timber Creek before Dominic had even been born. Dominic had only ever met his uncle once, and the memory was fuzzy at best. He had just been a little boy when Lex made an uncharacteristic appearance in Timber Creek. Dominic didn’t remember much about him, just that he was a stern looking man who had given Dominic a bag of candy as a gift. The most Dominic could remember about the visit, was Lex and his mother getting into a fight about something; he didn’t remember what it was about.

But it’s our wedding Dominic! Patrice said stubbornly. It needs to be perfect!

That had been a common line with them lately, and it was an argument Dominic couldn’t contest.

And it will be perfect. We need to get going hun, it’s a long drive to Colt city, Dominic stared out the window towards the driveway while he said it. Parked on the small cement slab was Dusty’s prized possession, the black ‘69 Mustang. He had lent it to Patrice and Dominic for the wedding, and Dominic was looking forward to ripping down the highway on the black beast.

Just gimme a minute, Patrice called out from the bedroom and Dominic sighed.

By the time they were ready to leave, the sun was hanging high in the sky and the plans for an early start to the day had been dashed. Dominic lifted Patrice’s large suitcase from the bedroom and into the car’s trunk, and he was shocked by how heavy it was.

What do you have in here, a body? He joked as he placed it beside his small duffle bag.

Har, har, Patrice said sarcastically. Once you see me on the wedding night, I don’t think you’ll be complaining. She said with a sexy smile, and Dominic couldn’t wait. Dominic opened the driver’s side door and leaned on the roof.

You got everything? He asked.

I think so.

Then let’s get this show on the road. The next time we’ll be in Timber Creek, we’ll be married. He said with a grin while he sat behind the wheel.

I can’t wait, Patrice replied while she buckled herself in. So long as no Hunters, or Doppelgangers, or crazy wolves interrupt us. She chuckled. What they didn’t know, was that Castle Richards had its own plans for their wedding.
