Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Chapter 138

[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]

I gathered the evidence that the fire failed to destroy and kept it somewhere safe. Somewhere, no one can find even Samantha.

After giving orders to the butler to take care of what happened in my office area, I went straight to my room and then slumped my heavy body on the edge of the bed. My shoulders were stiff, and every inch of me was aching. There were dark circles under my eyes, and my eyelids were so heavy that it was as if I was going to faint any moment from extreme exhaustion.

“I had to go back to the barracks,” I murmured to myself while my eyes were closed, resting them for a bit. I massaged the space between them and sighed heavily.

[If you want to die, then maybe you should go.]

My wolf emerged from my thoughts as I saw him lazily lying on the top of my bed like a projection in my head. He looked unsatisfied with everything that was happening in the pack and the fact that my mate had still been missing. And I had no idea where she was staying or if it really was Killian who took her away from the dungeons of the Packhouse.

“I am needed there, and you know that. I have to defend my people and make sure none of those criminals can enter my turf.” I snarled at him, but he just scoffed at me while licking his muzzle.

[You should go after your wife,] he replied with impudence as he narrowed his hazel eyes on me. [You should be taking care of her and your twins. Let those bastard people who are so greedy to claim power in your pack lead that war. Let them taste the terror those Black Claws spread in your city. You make all of them rely on you so much.]

“It is my duty to—”

[F*ck your duty to these people who doesn’t even know how to be grateful for all the things you have done for them!] He snarled at me as he glared, showing his bared teeth, and stood from the bed. He slowly approached me like a predator toying with his prey. [Your duty is to protect your mate and the twins! You should be with them, Dominic!]

He was right. My wolf was right. I should be with my twins and Samantha, and here I was, killing myself. While the elders in my council gathered and engaged in pointless discussions, wasting valuable time, my soldiers sacrificed their lives to safeguard the pack.

There was no balance anymore. And I failed them both—my people and my family.

My heart and mind tortured me heavily, so I decided to go to the small courtyard of the manor to get some fresh air and see if I could reach Samantha through our mate bond. But as I walked through the silent hallways, I sensed a sneaky shadow—a presence I was so familiar with that my jaw tightened the second I recognized who it was.

With my Alpha ability to hide my presence from people around me, I followed the rat through the hallways and almost scoffed when I confirmed who it was.

[Richard f*cking Bennette!] my wolf exclaimed in pure anger and hatred. [I thought you already banished him!]

[He’s one tough guy to deal with,] I said to my wolf through mindlink. [I have a feeling he’s still up to something here and that we will find out.]

[Do you think he could be the one who killed Lena?]

I didn’t answer, but anger surged in me as I followed Richard with a menacing glare. I didn’t know what he was still doing in Pack Manor at this hour of the night, but whatever it was, I had a strong feeling it could lead me to a more interesting story about why Richard still wanted to stay in Silver Crescent despite my threat that I would end his life once I saw him again.

I couldn’t believe he didn’t take my warning seriously.

[Do you think we should end him right now? You already warned him, right?]

[Shut up.] I snarled at him and then focused on Bennette.

I narrowed my eyes as I saw him exit the back door towards the courtyard. He even searched the surroundings, checking if there was someone who would see him sneaking around the place.

Richard went straight to the woods.

[What do you think he’s doing in the woods?]

I ignored my wolf’s comment as we both followed Bennett quietly, hoping I could see more evidence that he was the culprit behind the frame-up that happened to my wife. That he was behind my mother’s murder.

That f*cker! I could tear him into bits!

Richard was cautious and continued walking in the heart of the forest. I was never surprised when he went back to the old library where I caught him and threatened him never to show his face again.

Multiple presences were sensed with my werewolf instinct, and I was surprised that those were the same men in black suits who Samantha and I fought after we caught Olivia having a strange transaction with them.

Some stayed in their convoy while others entered together with Richard. I saw how one of them, probably their leader, patted his shoulder and laughed with him as they walked inside the old building. Five more followed them and served as bodyguards for the strange guy.

It seemed Richard and that bastard were very close...

With my ability to conceal my presence, I easily sneaked inside the building without being detected. I saw how all of them gathered in the middle of the library hall, where they sat at a long, extravagant table, which looked so strange in a place as dilapidated as that building.

The table was well decorated with long candelabras and amazing food, as if those people had prepared it for Richard. It seemed that the man, who was one of my advisors and council members, had a special connection with those criminals.

A huge traitor. He and his daughter.

“So what now, Richard?” The leader of the men in black suits smiled at Richard, as the old man had done something that pleased him. “Are you able to deliver us the thing we needed the most?”

The thing?

Richard smiled awkwardly at the guy as he averted his eyes and then turned to the side, not being able to look straight at the man’s face. “There is a problem, Nathaniel.” he swallowed hard. “She isn’t in her cell anymore. She was taken.”

There was rage on the man’s face as he stood from his chair and slammed both of his hands on the table, rattling the utensils and plates on it. “What do you mean she was taken?! I thought you and Olivia had already trapped her in the dungeons of the Silver Crescent!? What is happening here?”

“Someone took her! The Alpha of the Moonstone Pack! The council is already talking about waging war against them, and I am working on how I can get her back, Nath! You know I am f*cking doing my best to make this plan work!”

“Your efforts are not enough!” the guy, Nathaniel snarled at him. “I thought we were already celebrating here! And now you are telling me she escaped!?”

“I am doing my best, Nathaniel. Believe me. I just need time!”

The man scoffed and then glared at Richard through his nose. His deadly glare made Richard look tiny compared to the gigantic body of the leader of those people.

“I need you to give her to me the next time you call me, Richard Bennette. You are f*cking wasting my time!”

“I will make sure to bring her to you, Nathaniel. It’s just... what happened in the dungeons of Silver Crescent was so unexpected. Even Olivia couldn’t believe Killian got inside that place when it was well guarded by the Elite Gamma guards.”

The man roared in anger, “I don’t care! Just f*cking bring Samantha to me!”

My eyes widened at what I heard. They wanted Samantha! They were after my wife! It was they who were behind all of this frame-up!

[I can’t believe you just realized that, Dominic.] My wolf snapped at me with a disappointed look on his face, and I couldn’t help but feel ashamed of myself. He was right. I should have suspected them first. It was they who wanted Samantha dead so bad that Olivia almost had her by the neck the last time she set a trap to kill my wife!

Just as silently as I got into the place, I stepped out of the building as silently as the dead night and then rushed back to Silver Crescent.

[I need to find Killian! I have to find my wife!] I screamed at my head as I ran to the west side of the forest.
