Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna

Chapter 100: Chapter 100

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“What’s happening here?”

Dominic’s face was filled with confusion and fury as he repeated his question, "Wolf? What do you mean about it, Samantha?”

Ethan and I exchanged worried glances before guiltily lowering our gazes to the floor. I began explaining to Dominic with fear that he would feel betrayed after I hid this information from him for a very long time. “I already have my wolf, Dominic—right after I gave birth to the twins. The Moon Goddess granted me a beautiful, powerful wolf and that’s how I beat the sh*t out of Ethan.”

“She’s g*dd*mn terrifying. I don’t understand why men are so attracted to her, especially that Moonstone Alpha,” Ethan murmured, narrowing his eyes on me. “You all have a strange type toward women.”

Dominic stared at me, but this time, his face was relaxed. The tension on his shoulders and chest disappeared as he reached for my hand and squeezed it, his eyes full of understanding. “How come I didn’t feel your wolf, Samantha? It’s incredible that you can hide it from me when I am your—mate.”

Mate. Yes, he was my destined mate. I never had to hide that idea from anyone, including him. I smiled at Dominic as he pushed my hair behind my ears with that soft, loving gaze. Dominic leaned closer to me and inch by inch his lips aimed to taste my lips—

“I’m here. Just so you know.” Ethan said with his flat voice. His face was still wet from the freezing water as he glared boringly at me and Dominic, “Why don’t we focus here on what is important so you can get me out of this g*dd*mn cabin? Whose cabin is this anyway?”

“Who said you are getting out of here, *sshole,” Dominic threw Ethan a lethal glare as he and I averted our eyes from each other. Dominic became more irritated with the Gamma as the side of his upper lip twitched. I, on the other hand, couldn’t stop grinning awkwardly and just bit my lower lip hard, trying my best not to smack Ethan on the head.

“I’m just saying let’s focus on the real problem here,” he swallowed hard with his large, terrified eyes staring at Dominic’s raging look. “I mean, it’s time, Alpha, that you know Samantha’s situation is complicated now that so many people know she’s connected with the Royal Clan. If you don’t want the Silver Crescent to go into war and get involved in this huge catastrophe that you are about to face for keeping Samantha and the twins here, then it’s time for you to plan how you can retaliate against them—the organization that wants her dead.”

“How can I know who I’m facing if you don’t tell me who they are?” Dominic hissed. “I thought you cared about Samantha and the kids? Why does it seem like you are scared of telling me everything? What holds you back, Ethan?”

Ethan’s face was ashen as he averted his eyes from me and Dominic.

I sensed he was hiding something deeper. Dangerous. And seeing that terrified look on Ethan’s face made me nervous and more scared of what was coming to Silver Crescent because of me.

“Is it the Black Claws?”

Ethan lifted his face to meet Dominic’s glare. “Is it them who’s after Samantha and the twins? Because Liam and I fought them in the forest before finding you in that building. Those people never come close to my borders because they know I am not the kind of enemy they would ever want to have. But after seeing them in the forest, I am certain they are all after something. Something that was a huge deal to them that they would risk waging war against me.”

“Tell us, Ethan. What makes you so scared of them? Did they threaten you?” I asked, wanting to know why he did what he did to me. I believe he had a strong reason.

Ethan was about to open his mouth and say something, but we were all distracted when Dominic’s phone rang. Ethan’s eyes blinked as if he was awakened from a dream and then slumped on the chair, looking relieved and exhausted.

“Liam! I told you not to—”

I used my werewolf senses to sharpen my hearing.

“You are needed here, Alpha.” Liam’s voice was full of urgency. I could sense the panic in his voice. And knowing Liam as a cool, composed person, it could be something serious and was too difficult for him to handle. “There are problems with some of our Gammas—”

Dominic’s troubled eyes turned to Ethan while the phone pressed on his ear. “Tell me what’s happening.”

“Something happened on the eastern flank of the border guards and patrol.” Liam started explaining. A witness said some vomited blood and others screamed and ran like they were on fire, but they weren’t. A healer suspected they were poisoned or must have inhaled something because one hour before that incident happened, there was a thick fog around the area.  Do you think the Black Claws did it, Dominic? Why all of a sudden are they interested in attacking Silver Crescent?”

A feeling of guilt made the tips of my fingers cold as Dominic and I looked at Ethan. Ethan shrugged his shoulder as if saying, “I told you so” to us, and that made Dominic snarl as he gave orders to Liam, “Liam, listen. I need you to close all the gates. No one will enter and leave Silver Crescent without my permission! Call all the healers to find out what this chemical is and make antidotes as fast as they can!”

I looked at my husband and asked for the phone. I thought he would hesitate at first, but he gave it to me without a question and stared at me as I talked to Liam. “Liam? This is Samantha.”

“Luna,” Liam answered with a stiff voice, “Is there something you suggest?”

Dominic nodded at me, giving me his approval for whatever strategy I had in mind and uttered, “I need you to double the security around the borders. If you find any Black Claw people—”

There was tension in the air as Ethan and Dominic waited for my next words.

“Kill them on sight.” I snarled at Liam with my eyes, glaring at the scenery outside the small window of the wooden house.
