[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing from my mate.

Diana and Devon stood in front of me; both faces were filled with guilt as they fiddled with their fingers and pouted their lips, too embarrassed and ashamed of what they did.

They had already received a good scolding from Dominic before I reached the house. Seeing Dominic standing at the door of the kitchen with his hands propped on the sides, furious and scared, made my stomach tighten.

“Is it true?” I asked mostly about Devon after I found out it was him who initiated this. “Is it true that you dragged Diana into very grave danger? You brought her to the dungeon?”

His eyes were teary when he lifted his face to meet my angry eyes. “I thought I could find the culprit who kidnapped you in that place.” Devon’s lips quivered as he explained desperately while he fidgeted with the hem of his shirt. “I am so sorry, Dominic, Mom! I thought I was helping!”

Diane was too scared to talk and she just covered her face and cried. Dominic’s eyes softened as he saw his little princess and walked towards her with a helpless sigh. He sat on the sofa and put his hands on her shoulder as he asked her to look him in the eyes.

“I’m so sorry,” Diana murmured as she sobbed, “We are just trying to help.”

“I know.” Dominic lifted Diana’s tears-smeared face with his finger and gave her a soft but serious gaze—A fatherly gaze. “Your mother and I were so terrified at what you and Devon did. So...will it be okay if you let me and your mom do this kind of thing? Can you trust us to solve this on our own and promise to keep yourselves safe so we can focus on our jobs?”

Devon and Diana lowered their heads again and said in unison, “We’re sorry...”

I bent down and embraced both of them with teary eyes, “We are so worried for both of you, Diana, Devon...” I murmured to them and kissed the sides of their head, “Don’t do that ever again...”

Both of them cried on my shoulder as their cries filled the house. Dominic helped me feed and prepare them for bed and went to my bedroom with a worried look and guilt etched on his face. He slumped on the edge of the bed as he dragged his hands down his face.

I saw how terrified he was when he scolded the two and I knew how awful he felt about it. I walked and sat beside him and hoped this unpleasant feeling would ease as I rubbed his back gently.

“I thought I was going to lose that that minute.”

It was the very first time I heard Dominic’s voice tremble and my emotions burst into my heart as I watched him looking so scared and devastated. “I thought... I thought I wouldn’t be able to save them.”

“You did, love,” I murmured to him, cupping his face so he could look into my eyes. “You got there in time. You saved them. You got them out of that dungeon.”

His body was tense. His jaw was stiff, and the muscles on his chest and shoulders bulged as if his face were on his hands. “I don’t know what I would do if something happened to them, Samantha.”

“I’m so sorry I wasn’t there.” I told him, full of guilt as I took away his hands on his face, “It’s all my fault as well. I shouldn’t have left them in the pack manor. I shouldn’t have let my eyes away from them.”

He looked at me, confused and upset, “Where were you, Samantha? I thought we already talked about that you are not leaving the manor without sentinels guarding you?”

I bit my lower lip tight. “I found something... something that brought me back to my past. To who my mother really was, Dominic. I found pieces of evidence. Of how important she was in Silver Crescent as an advisor to your father and as the head of the former council...”

He looked at me straight in the eyes as he murmured, “Yes. I can remember all of it. And how some of the members of the council hated her, especially Bennett.”

I told him how I found my mother’s diary. How she was involved in an underground organization of criminals called The Fang Trinity, who wanted to kill the royal family and take over the continent. What role did she play just to hide me from those people after my father admitted to her that he was a direct descendant of the primordial clan, making me a member of the royal clan as well. And the only thing that could make me use this power was through the blood of my blood. Devon and Diana.

“I know you want to protect the pack and our twins badly, love. But I am not sure you can awaken this power without hurting the twins.”

“I found something that we can do,” I said to him with a little hesitation, knowing that this wouldn’t be easy and dangerous as well. “I talked to my mother’s former colleague and she told me there was another way to use my power without drawing blood from our babies.”

“I don’t want you to get into another danger, love. But I understand how much you needed this. So I will help. I won’t let you do the work alone.”

“This woman, her name is Victoria.” I told him and I saw how focused he was on every detail I was saying, making me feel that Dominic was distressed about this: “She told me there is a herb in the Black Forest that I can consume to awaken this spirit sleeping inside me.”

“Do you know what it looks like?” he asked me with determination in his eyes. “If this is what you want, love, I will support you with as much as I can.”

“Yes. Victoria showed me.” I answered with perturbation. “But this could be dangerous—”

“I don’t care how dangerous it is,” he murmured as he landed a soft kiss on my lips with his fingers on my chin. “If this is what you really wish, then we will find this thing.”
