Chapter 114: Chapter 114

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

Something was wrong.

I could feel it through the bond.

That heavy, strange pain in my chest made me realize my mate was in danger. With my twins’ help and their dinner surprise, which I appreciated so much, I forgot this strange feeling I had since arriving home. I made sure to give them all the attention I had while this agonizing perturbation slowly ate my insides.

“Is something wrong, Miss Samantha?” Madison must have noticed the cold sweats beading on my forehead while I helped clean the dishes.

I leaned my hips on the counter and looked at her anxiously, unsure how to tell the kids that I had to leave again and go after Dominic. Madison must have read the situation in my eyes, as she immediately put the plates down on the table and held both of my hands to squeeze them.

“Alpha Dominic will be alright, Miss Samantha,” she murmured, not wanting the children to hear how awful it was as she looked into my eyes, trying to lift my spirit. “I am sure he will go back. He won’t let anything happen to him knowing there are people who want to harm you and the children.”

“I have to make sure,” I said nervously to her as I placed my hand on my chest. Fear was like spiders crawling over me, up to my shoulders and the back of my neck. “I need to go and find him in the Black Forest. I have a feeling he’s in danger, Madison... It started this noon, distracting me from the meeting; that’s why I got home early today. I feel something wrong is happening to him. I have to go.”

Madison’s eyes widened in panic. “You can’t go out of the Silver Crescent, Miss Samantha! You know that those Black Claw Criminals want you dead! You can’t leave the children here and put yourself in danger as well!”

I bit my lower lip hard. As much as I hated the truth, Madison was right. There was no guarantee I would leave that forest alive when the Black Claws had been making it their hideout for many weeks since we arrived in Silver Crescent. Then a terrifying thought came to my head. Did Dominic encounter those wild criminals? Was this strange, scary feeling that had been torturing me a warning that his life was in danger as well?

There was no time to hesitate. It was my mate’s life that was at stake!

But what else could I do?

As soon as Liam entered the kitchen and saw the horror on my face, he asked, "What’s happening?"

The smile on his face disappeared as soon as Madison told him about my plan.

“No!” Liam hissed as his brows deepened into a frown, “You know Dominic will kill me if I let you go after him! Do you want me to be diced to death!?”

“Something is happening to him, Liam. We have to go and find him. Bring him back as fast as we can! I could feel through our bond that he was in pain! We can’t just wait here and wait until those criminals kill your Alpha!” I snarled at him as I pressed my hands on my head and smoothed down my hair to my nape, feeling restless.

“You know there’s no way I would let you,” Liam said in his firm voice as he stood straight and narrowed his eyes on me. “I would rather be killed by those Black Claws than face Dominic’s wrath, Samantha! Please have mercy on me.”

“There’s a way, though. But it’s the reason why Dominic went to the Black Forest alone.” I said to them as I slumped myself on the chair and bit the nail of my thumb, hesitating to tell them. But there was no other way. Liam would never let me go after my husband knowing that I couldn’t fight or protect myself from those criminals.

Liam got curious and leaned on the counter close to Madison. I saw my babysitter/cook blush and she averted her eyes from me, embarrassed that I noticed her little admiration for Dominic’s Beta.

“No. I can’t do this.” I murmured, dropping my face on my hands. I couldn’t tell them that it required the blood from my twins. There’s no way I could hurt my children!

But what should I do? What should I do!?

“We can do it, Mom.”

My eyes widened when I heard Devon’s little voice with a brave look on his face. His fists were curled tight as he looked at my anxious face. Diana was standing beside him, her eyes full of concern for me, and that’s when my eyes went teary.

“Devon—”

“We know, Mom. Diana and I know. I’m sorry, but when you and Devon talked about this ritual thing, I was about to go to your room and apologize again for what I did. I heard and told Diana everything.”

“Ritual?” Liam frowned. “What’s going on here? Can you explain the situation to me, Samantha?”

I stared at Devon, who didn’t falter. Diana held his hand as she looked me in the eyes, and she said in her brave tone, “We want to save and help Dominic as well. We can do it, Mom.”

“Diana and I talked about it already. You don’t have to worry about hurting us. We are ready. If you need blood, we can give it to you. Madison told us we, as werewolves, heal fast. Like, incredibly fast. So we should be okay. We are not scared, Mom.” Devon continued encouraging me as he stepped forward and stood straight with his shoulders squared like a real warrior. “Let me and Diana help.”

Madison and Liam looked at the three of us, confused at what was happening. As I stared into my son’s face, I knew I had to do it. Dominic told me he would do anything just so as not to hurt the kids. But with Devon and Diana stepping up like real brave werewolves in front of me, I knew I was raising powerful leaders one day.

“Are you sure about this?” I asked Devon and Diana one more time. My chest was heavy. But I knew Devon and Diana were worried about Dominic as well.

They gave me a brave nod.

I looked at Liam and Madison with a new determination my children gave me and uttered, “I might need both of your help.”

*****

Madison and Liam were left speechless after I told them everything.

“I have instructions that I need both of you to follow strictly,” I said to them as I took a knife from the kitchen. My heart was wrenched when I saw Devon and Diana swallowing hard. They were scared. I saw it in their eyes. But it was admirable for my babies to volunteer just to save their father in danger.

They haven’t even known yet that Dominic was their biological father, and they already love him dearly.

“What should we do then?” Liam asked, looking nervous as we all sat in the middle of the living area. “I have no idea what is going on but I want to help if it means we can find and take Dominic back to Silver Crescent.”

My eyes went to Liam as I handed him the knife. My throat tightened as I looked at my kids again and then back to Beta as I gave him the instruction. “I need you to help the kids and extract blood from them.

Liam’s eyes widened. Even Madison gasped and panicked at what I said. “What do you mean, Samantha?! You want me to cut them?!”

“It’s the only way,” Devon said to Liam.

“I can’t do—”

“Liam, please! We don’t have much time!” I yelled at him as tears rolled down my face. “Just like what Devon said, this is the only way!”

There was horror on Liam’s pale face as he walked towards Devon and Diana. I couldn’t bear to look, so I went to Madison and instructed her to draw the pattern on my back using my twin’s blood.

I closed my eyes tight as I heard Diana and Devon’s whimper of pain.

When Liam came to me holding the bowl of blood, his face was still and so upset that he glared at me. “I don’t know what’s going on, Samantha. But I hope their sacrifice makes this work,” he said with a grave voice.

“Please take the children to their room and go stay with them.” I pleaded with Liam. “I need to be alone with Madison once this ritual is finished.”

Madison’s finger was trembling as she drew the pattern on my back. I felt her finger trace the lines. She traced the lines slowly and carefully, following my instructions. And as the patterns slowly completed, I felt that warm feeling gradually building up from deep in my core, and the blood of Devon and Diana burst into dazzling golden light, which made Madison yelp in fear and quickly run away from me.

There was a whisper of someone in my ears... words I couldn’t understand. They were so ancient that they sent chills down my spine.

When I opened my eyes, my ocean-blue irises turned into bright, liquid gold.
