Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Chapter 105

[ALPHA Dominic’s Point of View]

I was on my way to the pack house.

My eyes were focused on the road while my mind was on Samantha and my kids. Feathers appeared on the muscles of my jaw as I ground my teeth. I couldn’t leave them when things like this happened in the pack. Liam was right. It was worse than we imagined, and the first thing I had to ensure was my family’s safety.

Twenty minutes before I got to the manor, something caught my attention. My brows furrowed as I recognized the car parked in front of an old, dilapidated building that was once a public community library. The building was destroyed by an earthquake three years ago, and I decided not to use it again. I built a new one in the heart of the city, where it was much closer to public schools and universities.

I couldn’t be mistaken. That car was Richard Bennett’s.

What is this old man hiding from me?

I knew from what I had seen in his little hideout that Richard Bennett was up to something. He had been secretly investigating Samantha. He knew the secret about her past and her connection to the royal family. Could it be that he had something to do with the Black Claws as well? Was he helping them?

My wolf told me I had to go straight to Samantha, but my curiosity and my desire to know what Richard Bennett was doing in that old building won out.

I made sure to park my car far enough to not be seen if he was with someone acting as his lookout. I sneaked smoothly and fast through the woods, and it made my senses sharper to know if there were people aside from him around the area, but surprisingly, there were none. I made sure to hide my presence as I went straight to the entrance of the building, but no one was there.

I smirked, “You think you can trick me, Bennett?” I whispered mostly to myself. I used my ability as the Alpha to trace possible recent tracks inside the building and scanned the whole area. I felt my power concentrated in my eyes as it turned crimson red and wolf fangs lengthened my teeth. My muscles bulged and tightened as hairs appeared all over my body after I shifted halfway through my wolf form, just to prepare for any surprise attacks from the enemies.

There were fresh tracks on the floor, straight to the heart of the library, and—on the wall?

“What the—” I swore under my breath as I looked for something. Perhaps there could be a secret door or a button that would open a passageway to another room. But d*mn it! There was nothing!

A snarl ripped in my throat, frustrated and confused as to why his tracks stopped in front of this empty brown brick wall. There should be something behind it. I was sure that Bennett was hiding something from the council and me!

I looked around, hoping to get more clues. I searched every room, which was full of old, dusty, and abandoned books and furniture—until I found a locked one. The only area that was securely locked from the inside. I turned the knob carefully once again and saw that the thing was newly replaced, which meant someone was using it—a lot recently.

The question was, where did Bennett go? His car was outside, and I was certain he was there before I entered the place.

I had no time to waste so I was forced to open the room with a powerful kick, just enough not to fully destroy it. I closed the door carefully, waiting until Bennett comes back from wherever the f*ck he went.

My jaw nearly dropped on the floor at what I saw.

In front of me was a huge corkboard with pictures of every person in the council, including me, Mother Luna, Samantha, and the twins—an organigram. Samantha was in the middle of it all. Then I saw a very rare photo of her parents on top of her picture, with question marks on their faces. The insignia of the royal family and the symbol of the Black Claw organization were on each side of them.

Then the photos of my children below my photo with a red marker encircling their faces.

At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about this. I was so confused at first. Enraged. Scared after I saw how Samantha was interconnected with everything, especially the royal family and the Black Claws. But why was her mother connected with the Black Claw organization? Why did Bennett involve her with those dangerous criminals?

Then there was Ethan’s photo with a huge X sign on his face. I had a feeling Bennett knew something about what Ethan did to Samantha the day she disappeared. After he witnessed that I successfully took my wife back to Silver Crescent, he assumed that Ethan was already dead.

There was nothing

Did Olivia know anything about what her father was doing?!

I crouched when I heard heavy, careless footsteps coming towards the room. I made a few strides in front of the door, ready to lunge at whoever was coming. My eyes sharpened as my brows went into deep furrows, concentrating on the sound of the clicking of the stranger’s shoes on the marble floor. Was it a Black Claw? Olivia? Richard?

My fingers flexed as the muscles on my arms bulged and veins started to appear. Shadows cascaded down my face as I lowered my head down and glared at what was coming.

That’s when the wooden door creaked open.

Before I was completely revealed, I lunged myself toward the person on the other side of the door and pushed it violently, sending the bastard to the other side of the hall. The sound of a loud thud of the body echoed everywhere, followed by the sickening crack of bones that I suspect were his ribs. With a roar, I shoved the wooden furniture away, and on the floor was the terrified Richard Bennett, looking at me wide-eyed with both horror and confusion. Both of his hands were shielding his pale, panic-stricken face as he realized the person in front of him. I pinned him against the floor with my claws, threatening to sever his throat open like a butchered pig.

“What the—Alpha Dominic!”

“What are you doing in this kind of place!” I snarled at him, my eyes crimson red in rage, “What are you hiding from me, Richard!? Tell me what’s the meaning of those pictures on that f*cking wall!”

He was too flabbergasted to say a single word, so I pulled him off by the collar of his suit and lifted him into the air with one arm.

“Talk. Or I will kill you. Right here, right now.” I hissed at him. My deep voice oozing with bloodlust made him swallow hard.

“You can’t kill me, Dominic. You know you can’t!” He grinned at me tauntingly, his hands resting on the side of his head in surrender. I saw the hysteria in his eyes as beads of cold sweat appeared all over his face.

“And what makes you think I will spare you after what I saw in this place?!” I snarled and lifted him higher, making him close his eyes in fear. His body trembled. “I can’t believe you betrayed me, Richard. For so many years I trusted you! I did everything you wanted, you bastard!”

“Because it was the right thing to do!” he yelled back with a quivering voice, “It was the safest choice, Dominic! But you never listened! You still brought that woman back to Silver Crescent despite everyone’s warning! She only brings chaos, Dominic! Silver Crescent will be in huge danger if you keep her here!”

“What do you mean?” I murmured in my most lethal tone as I pulled him closer to me, looking at him dead in the eyes. “Nothing will happen, Richard. Because I will kill every one of those *ssholes before they can even try entering my territory!”

“You don’t understand—“

“Shut your f*cking mouth, you pig!” I hissed, baring my perfect set of sharp teeth on his face, “What you don’t understand here is you’re dead! Who else knows Samantha is related to the royal family!?”

Please, Dominic! Put me down! We can talk about this calmly—”

“Let’s not waste any more time here, Bennett. And do you think I trust, you won’t run away?”

“He laughed awkwardly, “I know even if you let go of me, you will still kill me, Dominic. So why don’t we just calm down and take a seat? I won’t run. We can talk about this.” he said with a pleading face. “Please, Alpha.”

I exhaled angrily through the nose as I lowered him to the floor but didn’t let go of the collar of his suit.

“Now tell me everything, Richard.” My eyes darkened as I spoke. “How long have you been spying here, Richard? Are you working for the Black Claws!?”
