Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Chapter 123

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

I decided I finally had to confront these unpleasant feelings I harbored for years.

After my twins boosted the self-confidence I didn’t think I still had, I got up with a light feeling in my chest and did my daily morning routine with a sweet smile. Devon and Diana always knew how to make me feel better when I was confused and scared. They are the very source of my strength, the reason I still wanted to make things work between Dominic and me despite Olivia’s continuous attempts to flirt with my husband.

Even now that Dominic didn’t go home last night, I couldn’t help but think they were together somewhere. And that brought a tight feeling in my chest—to imagine my mate in the arms of another. I would have known if it had happened, though. But my cautious heart was still paranoid about what Olivia could do and how Dominic would handle being around that snake.

It was a half-hour drive back to House Manor. Just as I expected, everyone was busy working with the healers while they made the wounded their priority. I got nervous and horrified at what I witnessed as I saw multiple Gamma soldiers being carried back straight to the infirmary.

“What’s happening?” I asked one of the healers that walked in front of me. She looked nervous, though—no. She was agitated. It was as if something horrible happened not just too long ago.

“It’s the Black Claws, Luna. They attacked the East Gates again and killed ten of our men,” she answered after she pulled down her face mask; the color on her face was drained, leaving her eyes looking bloodshot. “I’m sorry, but I have to go now. They need as many healers there as possible.”

“Yes. Yes, of course,” I murmured, my mind in complete panic as I realized the chaos that had occurred. I watched the healer rush inside the Pack House with someone yelling something I couldn’t comprehend because of the disarray that was happening in the main hall of the building.

I felt as if my head was on a cloud. All I thought about was my husband. Was he okay? Was he hurt? I needed to find out, so I rushed inside. I tried to reach for my husband through our mind link but he was silent. I couldn’t feel or hear him. Was he in another place that was out of my reach?! Was he in the Black Forest?!

I dashed straight to his office, slammed the door open, and watched with wide eyes as two healers treated my husband. They were putting bandages around his upper torso and another on his right arm. Blood stained the bandage, though, making me more worried.

“Dominic!”

“Samantha—”

My heart was drumming violently in my chest as I approached him with eyes wide with fear and panic. “What happened? Did you go with them on the raid? Why didn’t you tell me about this, love? What happened to you?!”

His face was dark and etched with deep sadness and exhaustion as he gestured to the healers to leave us alone in his office. My husband sat at his desk with a heavy sigh and caressed my cheeks gently while staring into my teary eyes.

“I’m fine.” his voice was heavy with grief. I felt that unpleasant feeling as he averted his eyes from me and stared down at the floor.

I felt so helpless that I couldn’t do anything to make him feel better. And there I was, sulking around, thinking the worst things about my husband when he almost died at the raid outside the gates. I castigated myself silently as tears rolled down my cheeks.

“Everything is under control now, love. There is nothing to worry about.” he dragged his fingers through his dark hair as he snarled. “But we lost ten soldiers in the battle, and I have to make sure their families know how bravely they fought for the pack.” The rage was there as he spoke. His back was hunched and his elbows were resting on his knees.

He appeared like a dark, fallen angel in the midst of his misery.

“It’s okay. We will recover, Dominic. We will not let these people destroy Silver Crescent.” I assured him, cupping the side of his face with my hand. “We will fight back.”

Despite the sorrow in his hazel eyes, Dominic’s lips pulled into a small smile and he pulled me by my waist to kiss me softly on my lips. I kissed him back—letting him know that this wasn’t just his fight—that we were in this together.

“I am happy you came here for me despite what happened yesterday, love,” he murmured as our kiss broke and our foreheads touched. “I thought of going home after they treated my wound, though. I miss you terribly.”

“Tell me when you go into a fight next time,” I said to him, my throat swelling as I suppressed the sob that wanted to escape from my throat. “You know I can help.”

“No. You should be there with the twins.” he smiled at me weakly. “You are the only one here in the pack I trust that can protect them.” he caressed the side of my face with the tip of his finger and then held my chin with his thumb and index finger gently. “I have to make sure they are being guarded by one of the powerful she-wolves in the pack.”

I couldn’t help but smile as he planted a soft kiss on my lips.

To our surprise, the door slammed open, and there was Olivia, standing and still panting. Her eyes were the same fear and concern I had when I entered the office, and that completely pissed me off. How dare she show herself here as if she were someone important in my husband’s life?!

Frowning, I pushed away gently from Dominic’s arms. I felt him hesitate to let go of me, but I gave him a warning glance, and that was when his arms loosened around me.

“You are not needed here, Olivia. My husband and I are having an important moment here. You should go back when there are matters that concern you.”

She had the audacity to give me an adamant look as she approached Dominic. Before she could even reach my husband, I had already blocked her way and shot her a deadly look. “I said, f*cking leave.”

“I need to know how Dominic is doing.” She snarled at me. “I heard she went into the Black Forest and fought with the enemies! I need to know if he’s doing okay!”

“I am alright, Olivia. You don’t have to run straight here to my office. You can just ask the healers about the situation.” Dominic said to her with a hoarse, angry voice.

Olivia seemed shocked at the angry expression on Dominic’s face. She flinched and then glared at me. “This is all your fault! If you didn’t come back in the Silver Crescent, none of this would happen!”

“Stop it, Olivia!” Dominic yelled as he jumped off the desk and glared at her.

“No,” I spread my arm to stop my husband from dragging Olivia out of the room. “Let her speak, though. Allow her to express whatever the f*ck is on her mind! I want to know why she keeps on following when it’s already clear that she’s been a traitor to the pack.”

“Watch your mouth, you—” she stopped when I lifted my face and glared at her coldly through my nose. Despite her anger, terror appeared in her eyes. We both knew that even if we fought, she was no match for me anymore. I wasn’t the same weakling she used to bully several years ago. She couldn’t touch me anymore.

“Say it, Olivia.” I stepped closer to her with my eyes turned golden orbs. “Say it!”
