Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna

Chapter 128: Chapter 128

[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]

There’s no way I would believe this.

I studied the timeline. I ordered the guards to send me the video captured by the CCTV and studied it. I locked myself in the office the whole day and watched it repeatedly. I meticulously examined every aspect of the scene, attempting to determine if it truly represented my wife. I studied the reactions on my mother’s face as they conversed, my mother looking so pale and terrified as that person with her back to the camera screamed and waved her hand at her with anger.

My eyes were focused on the back of that woman who Liam suspected was Samantha. I knew Liam had no ill feelings about my wife and he loved the twins. But based on his calculations and how the witnesses described the last time Samantha and my mom fought in the pack house, his suspicion could make sense—especially because my mother couldn’t be beaten so easily in a fight like that. Not unless she didn’t fight back.

That thought made my stomach tighten. No. There’s no way Samantha could do this. It wasn’t her. It wasn’t my wife...

I couldn’t think of a reason why Samantha could be that angry with my mother. But I noticed that recently, Samantha never told me what was going on with her—about that diary, that symbol—could it be that my mother knows something that made my mate upset?

I rested my chin on my fist as I watched the video for the fifth time. I knew Samantha. She couldn’t hurt mom. She couldn’t.

“Is it true, Alpha Dominic? Is the news true about your mother?”

I frowned when I was approached by one of the elders. His face was pale and full of wild curiosity as he stared into my eyes. He was so close that I grimaced unintentionally.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” I hissed as I proceeded to walk through the hallways. But the old man insisted on walking with me and was still desperate for answers, which made me more pissed.

“The news is everywhere, Alpha!” he continued with a hushed voice as his eyes looked around the place as if scared someone might hear him other than me. “Everyone thinks Miss Samantha killed your mother!”

Horrified by what I heard, I immediately halted and glared at the old man with despise in my eyes. “What did you say?!” I snarled at him.

Despite the obvious panic on his face, he raised both of his hands in front of him, seemingly attempting to calm me down. “I know the idea is ridiculous, Alpha Dominic. But this rumor had been spreading all over Silver Crescent!

“Who did this?” I glared at him, cold and deadly. “Who’s been spreading rumors about my wife like this?!”

“I am not sure yet, Alpha. Everyone is anxious and needs answers about what really happened. Is this really true?”

I growled at him and he flinched. That’s when I decided I had to go straight to the council hall and hold an urgent meeting. I needed Liam, so I ordered a Gamma soldier to bring him to my office as soon as he arrived at the pack manor. I need to know what was happening! I need to know how the f*ck this information leaked all over the turf!

“Alpha Dominic.” Liam was almost out of breath as he entered my office and stood in front of my desk. “I am sorry for making you wait. I was trying to deal with some problems in the infirmary.”

“I need you to go with me to this meeting, Liam,” I said with an irritated voice.

“Is this about this rumor?” his face paled when he looked me in the eyes.

I didn’t answer, though, and went marching straight to the doors with him following me anxiously. We were in the hallways heading toward the council hall when I saw the Omega servants looking at me with worried eyes. Their expressions conveyed a mixture of fear, worry, and sympathy for the situation affecting my family and the pack, and it only added to the pain that weighed heavily on my chest.

“Alpha Dominic!”

Everyone in the meeting room rose from their seat and bowed their heads nervously in front of me as I walked swiftly to the head of the table. But those who sided with Richard Bennett stared at me with suspicion and confusion as to why I still hadn’t acted on the matter.

They believed it was really Samantha who killed my mother.

“We are waiting for your words about what is happening, Alpha—about the passing of Mother Luna and the culprit who ended her life! Some photos were posted on social media and everyone thinks—”

“Shut up!” Liam snarled. “There is no proof yet that it was Miss Samantha who could be in that CCTV video! Stop assuming it is she who killed Mother Luna! All of you know how they love and protect each other even after Miss Samantha left the Silver Crescent pack!”

From Liam, who first suspected Samantha, I didn’t expect that.

“I told you from the very start that woman is a taboo! She’s not supposed to return here! Look what happened when she moved here with her twins! Everything just turned into misery and chaos! The people are scared! They are losing faith in the pack Alpha and the council! How are we going to convince them that everything is under control?”

“As if everything is under control here.” One of them stood, staring directly into my eyes with a rebellious look on his face. “Since they arrived, there is no peace in this place anymore!”

The room was filled with quarreling, blaming, and yelling, and Liam and I couldn’t do anything about it.

It seemed there was no way to calm all these people down but to prove to them that my wife was innocent. That she wasn’t the girl on the video and she didn’t kill my mother. There was no way Samantha could do that to mom. She was devastated already. Once she found out that she was being accused of the crime that happened—

I had already decided.

I had to go and arrest my dear wife to find the answer...
