Chapter 119: Chapter 119

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

I almost died yesterday.

The horror of yesterday’s battle haunted me, especially after I discovered Olivia was plotting something evil against the pack. If Dominic hadn’t come to help me, I would have died there already. I was reckless, and I shouldn’t have gone there alone.

But knowing that Olivia was after me and the kids, there was no way I would let her have the chance to make whatever plans she had. I would give my life just to make sure the kids were safe. Even if it meant killing her in the process, I would do it.

I didn’t care what the council or the whole pack would think about it. My children’s safety would come first, and I would make sure of it.

While in my office at the pack manor, the restlessness brought me back to checking and rereading my mother’s diary. I didn’t notice the time and I had already spent an hour finding any information I could use until I noticed something on the last page.

A symbol.

It was a circle with a picture of fire in the middle. Around the circle were two red snakes intertwined and meeting on the top, facing each other. They have golden hexagon eyes and writings I couldn’t understand.

“I have a feeling I had seen this somewhere...” I whispered to myself as I looked closer at the picture, studying every angle of it while tilting the diary, hoping it could provide me with additional information about the drawing.

But then I remembered and my eyes widened.

The crates! Those crates of poison bombs! They have that symbol!

I flipped the pages and looked for more information about what that symbol meant and what organization it was from, but there was no further statement. I looked around the room, feeling so frustrated. I hated that my mother wrote something weird in her d*mned notebook without leaving more explanation of what it was about!

“How am I supposed to connect all of this!” I shook my head and massaged my forehead. I threw the diary on the table and propped my hands on the edge of the desk, feeling so lost and scared. I didn’t know what was happening anymore. The Black Claws, the Trinity Fang, Richard Bennett, and his bitchy daughter, who was planning a mass murder in Silver Crescent, and Lena not telling me everything she knew behind all of this. It was too much for me—too much to handle for a woman who only wanted was to live a peaceful life with her mate and her twins.

“What’s wrong?”

I turned around and saw my husband entering the room. There was worry on his face as he unbuttoned the top of his shirt and approached me with a soft kiss on the lips. “How are you feeling? You are not supposed to be working yet. You should be home, taking some rest after what happened.”

“Liam and Madison are guarding the twins,” I said to him in a weak voice and slumped on the couch while massaging my temples. “I can’t stay at home when there is so much to do, Dominic. Have you learned what Olivia wanted to do with those bombs? Will there be a trial?”

His brows deepened and he averted his eyes as he explained, “There’s no trial, Samantha.”

I stood up and couldn’t believe what I had heard. “There’s no what!?”

“Olivia. There is not enough evidence that she was buying those bombs.”

I snarled at him, baring my teeth in complete anger, “What are you talking about!? I f*cking heard her! I saw her with those men trying to negotiate with them! How dare the council say there is not enough evidence!? What is happening here, Dominic!?”

There was panic in his eyes the second he saw rage in mine. He immediately closed the gap between us and held me on the side of my arms, hoping to make me calm, but I couldn’t! There was no way I could calm down after learning Olivia was indeed after me and my twins! Dominic saw it with his own eyes!

“I am working on it, love.” Dominic tried to caress my face, but I flinched away, feeling so disappointed. “Believe me, I doing everything I can to punish Olivia for what she did—”

“I—I don’t know, Dominic.” I shook my head again; my chest was so heavy I could hardly breathe. “Your council is getting so much power here, and I am not happy with what’s going on. You have to take control, Dominic! I don’t care if the council doesn’t believe the statement I gave them but this is about Diana and Devon’s safety—”

Dominic pulled me into an embrace and I pushed him. I was so angry that I never wanted to be touched, but he refused to let me go. “Love, I know how frustrated you are but trust me with this, Samantha.”

He was right. It wasn’t that easy to take Olivia down, knowing that she’s Richard Bennett’s daughter. It was the reason why Dominic was stuck with them. It was the reason why Olivia thought she was untouchable even after she thought she had kicked me from the pack.

“What’s this?”

Dominic took the diary from my table and frowned. “This symbol looks familiar.”

“You’ve seen it before?” I had no choice but to ask despite the hatred I felt. “It was on the crates of the poison bombs as well.”

“Yes.” His face turned serious as his eyes focused on the image. “Yes. I had seen it in one of the forbidden places in the Black Forest. That place was filled with a dark and evil aura; that’s why no plants or trees were growing around it.”

“How are we going to get rid of it? How can we destroy it?” I asked him, feeling worried. “I felt it too when I went after you in the forest. I don’t feel right making that—whatever dark power it is that is staying near Silver Crescent, Dominic.”

Dominic and I were startled when the door of my office suddenly opened and Olivia came marching in with a straight face and took Dominic’s hand.

All the hairs on my nape stood up, and my hand instinctively reached for Dominic’s other hand, with my eyes darting a deadly look at Olivia. The b*tch ignored me though and forced Dominic to look at her.

“I have had enough of Samantha manipulating you, Dominic!” she exclaimed angrily as she gave me a disdainful look. “I am not buying anything from those people! I was deceived into going to that place and those men were about to hurt and kidnap me! Whatever she’s saying, it’s all but lies!”

“Then why the f*ck did you run!?” I scoffed at her. “I heard everything you said, Olivia! Stop lying!”

Olivia glared at me, but when she turned to Dominic, her face softened, and she was pleading. Goddess, I wanted to destroy that face. “Look what she’s doing, Dominic! Are you just going to let her destroy my reputation?! I don’t deserve this! I was with you for so many things, and I did everything you asked me!”

“Enough of it, Olivia!” Dominic snarled. “You don’t talk to Samantha that way! Liam told me everything! You can’t hide what you and your father have been doing! If you think you can fool the council, well, you can’t fool me! I am gathering sufficient evidence to kick you and your father from Silver Crescent!”

Olivia flinched from Dominic, her face pale. “What are you talking about, Dominic? Since that woman came here, everything has just turned into complete chaos! Why am I the one who is wrong here!? I was there with you the whole time! I dedicated my whole life to you and the pack! And that woman?! What did she do? She left! She betrayed the pack and went to Moonstone! You can’t do this to me when what I did, I did everything for you, Dominic! I never left your side for so many years, unlike that woman did!”

“Olivia stop—”

“I swear, if you don’t leave, I will kill you here.”

Dominic and Olivia looked at me as my eyes turned liquid gold. Dominic’s eyes widened as he sensed that killing instinct in me and immediately pushed Olivia away from him.

“We are not done yet, Samantha.” She snarled at me, despite the terror in her eyes. “I swear you will pay for what you did!”

That resentment in her eyes brought fear in me. I knew that look before—that look of desperation.

Olivia slammed the door shut and that’s when all the tension on my shoulders relaxed. Dominic held my hand and I looked at his face with teary eyes.

This time, he chose me. This time, it was me who he defended.

My shoulders shook as sobs emerged from my throat.

That’s when I let my mate hold me tight in his arms.
