Chapter 101: Chapter 101

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“I’m sorry if we have to head back so soon. I know you still have so many questions you want to ask Ethan, but Madison already texted me that the kids are looking for me.”

“You shouldn’t feel bad about it, love. I know you want to focus on this matter as well. But the kids are important too. And after you were gone for days, Diana and Devon became too worried when they couldn’t see you the whole day.”

“It’s alright, Dominic.” I held his hand after he stopped the car in the garage of the pack house. “The kids are still anxious from what happened and you’re right. The kids should always come first, then I can focus on the rest once I make sure they are well and safe.”

“I’ll go with you inside—”

“No. You should go straight to Liam and check what happened to the eastern borders. I have a feeling he needs you there badly.” I squeezed his hand and gave my mate a firm look. “I will be alright. I am already inside the manor so there’s nothing to worry about for my safety, love. You don’t have to follow me the whole day.”

He looked at me, still hesitating to go to his Beta. “I just want to make sure it won’t happen again, love. If only you didn’t stop me from tearing Ethan apart; he’s already a corpse rotting and lying on that old building.”

“I told you why you can’t do that—yet.” I gave him a warning look. “I don’t want you to kill him yet, not because I still think he’s my best friend. He’s not anymore, Dominic. We need him because he’s the only intel we have to know what is really going on. He knows something awful and dangerous will happen to Silver Crescent. And me and the kids—”

“I won’t let anything bad happen to you and the kids, Samantha. If it means I have to keep you all close to me just to make sure no one can hurt you again, I will.” His eyes sharpened and his hands tightened their grip on the steering wheel. I understood the frustration he felt and how hopeless and desperate he was when I was abducted by my idiot Gamma friend and I couldn’t blame him if he was paranoid all the time about me and the kids, knowing there was a serious threat in our lives.

“But Liam needs you at the borders, Dominic. You can’t leave this matter to him. You heard how anxious he is.”

He let out a heavy sigh and then leaned his head back in his seat. “Fine, But at least let me watch you get inside the door before I leave.”

I smiled at him helplessly and he landed a deep kiss on my lips before he let me open the door and hop outside his car.

“Mom, you are two hours late!”

Diana pouted her lips at me and then folded her little arms on her chest as she frowned. I suppressed a smile on my lips as I saw she was seriously furious that I was late going home again. Diana is basically like her father when it comes to worrying and being overprotective.

“I’m so sorry, something urgent happened that needed my attention, kids.” I apologized as I carried Diana in my arms and then Devon approached me with a kiss on the cheek. He was worried as well but stayed collected and calm. I guess he spent too much time with Liam already.

“You promised you would be home before six.” Devon narrowed his eyes on me. “I don’t want you staying too long outside, Mom. We don’t want you to get hurt again!”

I chuckled as I cupped the side of his cheek, “I’m sorry. This will never happen again. Besides, that won’t happen again, okay? Mommy is now strong enough to fight back. I can protect myself now.”

“Once I am finished training shifting into my wolf, I will make sure you and Diana will be safe.” Devon said with a proud look on his face, “You don’t have to worry about the bad guys out there, Mom.”

“I am sure you will take good care of me and your sister when you grow up,” I patted the top of his hair and my son smiled at me so widely.

Madison and Cynthia helped me with the twins. Since I got home after Dominic rescued me from Ethan, they have become more clingy and needy, especially Diana, who was constantly looking for me whenever I was outside working on my duties as the Luna of the pack. It became more challenging for me to balance my life between being a mother and a leader.

I was busy preparing the kids for bed when I remembered checking on Dominic. I dialed his number quickly while Diana and Devon were busy changing into their pajamas.

“Love,” Dominic’s voice sounded exhausted and frustrated, and I had a feeling it was about the poor guards and soldiers who were affected by the poisonous fog.

"I am just worried about the situation there," I whispered as I watched Madison comb Diana’s long, wavy hair. “Did the healers find a cure already? Do you already have a plan how to get rid of the Black Claws and prevent them from getting inside the borders?”

Dominic must have sensed the panic in my voice. He cleared his throat and made his voice firm with reassurance that everything would be alright. “Yes. Everything is running here smoothly, love. Regarding the plan, I already arranged a council meeting for tomorrow, and I need you there. Liam and I had been working on it since I came here.”

While I was listening to my mate, I noticed a letter on Diana’s bedside table, which was unusual because all the letters I get go straight to my office. This one was lying on the desk near a slightly open window as if someone had sneakily put it there.

To Samantha.

My heart started to ram against my chest, and I didn’t know I had already pressed the end call button and thrown the phone on Devon’s bed. My brows furrowed. The adrenaline rushing in me made my head throb as I opened the letter with trembling, panicky hands and read it carefully:

You can’t run from this. No matter where you go. Where you hide, we will see you. We will make sure no one will know what you truly possess and the truth will be buried together with your lovely twins.

Cold beaded sweat appeared on my forehead as I stared outside the window.

Ethan was right. We weren’t safe no matter how tight the security is in Silver Crescent.
