[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“DOMINIC, NO!”

But it was too late for me to stop him.

I thought my soul left my body when Dominic and the leader of the tribal pack clashed and both of them rolled to the ground, reaching for each other’s necks. The minions around them stepped back, watching the powerful warriors exchange lethal attacks with wide, terrified eyes. I couldn’t do anything. I was in total panic as I knelt at the mouth of the small cavity on the wall of the cave.

[Don’t you dare go down here, Samantha![ he snarled in my head as he received a deep gash on the side of his torso, making me grimace in pain as I felt it through the bond. [I need you to stay there.]

My heart and mind were fighting over whether I would dive down and help my husband or stay where I was hiding, just as he wanted. I knew Dominic would be furious if I went down there, but did I have a choice? Just as I told him, if he dies, I die. So I sucked in a deep breath between my teeth and glared at the leader of the pack, waiting for a good chance to lunge at myself and land a critical hit on the beast.

But it wasn’t that easy. Dominic and the leader of the tribe were so fast that I could barely follow them, even with my werewolf eyes. That’s when I felt awed by the power a real Alpha had. Dominic was indeed one of the most powerful Alphas on the continent. Despite the size and the enormous ancient dark power the enemy had, Dominic could fight back without a struggle, like his own power was adjusting, arising, and developing as they dodged and exchanged deadly strikes on each other.

As my eyes adapted to their speed, that’s when I felt a tick, and my body just moved on its own.

It was like a burning furnace in my chest. That power that Brianne awakened in me felt like a wildfire spreading all over my body as I shifted to my werewolf form. I saw how all of their eyes looked at me as if they had seen a goddess. My fur shining and glimmering in the darkness like the wings of the butterflies I saw in the forest.

[DOMINIC!]

Dominic knew. As I lunged towards them, he immediately jumped away as I aimed for the beast’s neck. The leader of the tribal pack was so focused on Dominic that he didn’t notice my presence. When it was too late for him to dodge and get away from me, to protect his neck, he tilted his body and the part that my teeth landed on was his back, sinking them deep and ripping a large chunk of flesh from it, making the beast roar in agony.

F*ck. He tastes awful!

[I told you—]

[You die, I die, remember?!] I hissed at him. [We have no time for this, Dominic. We need to get out of here as soon as we can! We don’t know what’s going on on the borders of Silver Crescent with Olivia and her father being left there! We have to go back and find the kids!]

My eyes widened as I watched the leader of the beasts stand on his wobbling four feet, his eyes glaring straight at me with a wide, mocking grin. It was like he was taunting me for failing to take that one chance of killing him.

All his minions surrounded us, and Dominic and I looked around, calculating how we would fight fifty of them with just the two of us. Dominic trusted me; I could fight back, but he stayed protective over me as he stepped in front of me with snarls ripping in his throat.

Three of them attacked at the same time and jumped towards my husband. Four tried to pin me to the ground. I could tell they were more cautious of me based on the aura that my wolf was giving out, and after I shifted to my wolf, the leader of the tribal pack’s attention turned to me as he slowly approached us. That hideous wound I caused him was healing at a baffling speed, and even Dominic was perturbed by it.

I was stronger than before, but these cave people—they were different! All of them were at the level of a Beta’s strength. And ten of them in front of me, trying to pin me to the ground, wasn’t that easy!

[So the rumors are true. That the new key... or, let me say, keys came from two powerful werewolves on this continent. I am not surprised, though. One came from a powerful Clan of Silver wolves, and another from the Primordial Clan. What a magnificent force of nature for both of you to be united and have offspring! I have a feeling the new keys are not that easy to deal with as well. But luckily, they are still kids, so it won’t be too difficult for the tribe to deal with them.]

[What are you talking about?] Dominic glared at him as he pushed away and dodged the ones who were attacking him. [What do you mean, keys?!]

I looked at the leader of the tribe and saw that sickening grin on his face. And somehow deep inside me, I knew what he meant and it terrified me deep into the bones.

And that old man knew I knew who he was talking about, which made it more infuriating!

[Tell me! Is Richard Bennett one of your people?!] I asked instead, wanting to know if those people who wanted me dead were one of them. [Are they part of these?!]

Dominic didn’t look surprised, but he looked at me and then at that giant guy, and I saw how his eyes widened as he realized what was happening.

[Well, those two are just small pawns for a bigger plan!] the giant guy answered. [They serve us! All they need is to distract you and the Alpha so we can get what we want! And this night, it will happen!]

Adrenaline pumped through my veins as I heard all his plans. The kids! No! There’s no way I would let them!

At the same moment that I lunged towards the tribe leader, Dominic was already attacking him, his deadly teeth aimed at the neck. Four pushed me back from them, but Dominic was faster and stronger, and because of the injury, the man wasn’t able to get away from him anymore.

There was a sickening ripping sound of flesh and cracking of bones. I blinked my eyes twice, and there, in midair, was a head spinning and dropping on the ground, rolling down to my feet.

[No one threatens my family!] Dominic snarled and spat the blood from his mouth.

As the tribal werewolves saw what happened to their pack leader, all of them flinched away from me and Dominic with fear on their faces and started running away, screaming a warning to the rest of their people. I stood there, my eyes fixed on my husband, who was still gasping for breath as he gazed at me.

[We have to find the kids.] He snarled in his raspy voice, his fur emitting smoke—a sign that he had already spent so much power and was shifting back to his human form.

[Yes.] I answered, my eyes fluttering with both awe and admiration for my husband. It was as if I fell in love with him all over again. [We need to find our way to go back to Silver Crescent and go straight to Liam’s home. The children should be there.]

I shifted back to my human form and picked my husband up from the ground after he fell, looking all pale and dizzy. “Let’s go, Dominic. I got you, my love.” My eyes welled with tears. “Let’s get out of here.”
