Chapter 147: Chapter 147

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“Samantha, wait!”

I was so angry that I pretended I didn’t hear him yelling at me as he begged me to stop leaving the main hall. All I knew was that I had to go to that f*cking old mine to find my twins. I would kill Olivia after!

“Samantha!”

Dominic grabbed me by the arm as soon as I stepped down the stairs out of the main hall. “I will go with you. Don’t let Olivia get into your head!”

“What the f*ck are you saying?! It’s Devonn and Diana who are in danger, Dominic! Are you scared for them?” I snarled at him and pulled his hands away from my arm. “If you are not that worried about them, then I will go alone, and you can’t stop me this time! Just make sure to hide Olivia, because once I return with the kids, I will ensure that she won’t see sunlight again!

“Don’t say that, Samantha!” He blocked my way, his eyes narrowed, showing me a dark expression. “I worry for them, but you need me there too! I won’t let you go alone!”

“You are needed here, Dominic—”

“No. You need me and the kids,” he muttered as he leaned in to me, his face so close I felt his breath on my lips. “I will go wherever you go, Samantha.”

Our eyes locked, and my heart and mind fought. I hated Dominic so much because my jealous self thought that he still cared for Olivia after he let her flee when she clearly had something to do with what happened to Devon and Diana. But I had to think rationally, and he was right. I won’t survive all the dangers of the forest. Not now, when our enemies knew we were going to that old mine.

“You have to go now, Dominic, Samantha,” Liam approached us with worry etched on his face. “I will make sure those bastards won’t get inside the gates. I will take care of everything here. Just go and find Devon and Diana. Bring them back here.”

I saw how apologetic Liam was, and I couldn’t help but feel my heart shatter because deep within me, I knew he never wanted this to happen.

With swift steps, I walked towards Liam and gave him a tight embrace. “I’m sorry I blamed you for what happened, Liam. It wasn’t your fault. I’m sorry I got mad at you.”

His body relaxed as soon as he heard my apology, and then I felt his arm gently pat me on the back. “Everything will be okay, Sam. Go with Dominic. He will keep you and the kids safe.”

Dominic reached for my hand, and after a moment of hesitation, I decided to take it. I still hated that he let Olivia get away, but Liam was right. For us to save the kids, my husband and I needed each other.

We ran straight to the forest in our werewolf form as fast as we could until we got to the old mine with an aching heart, thinking about how the kids were so terrified right now while calling out to us, hoping to save them.

I couldn’t blame anyone but myself. As much as I hated what Olivia said, she was right. My sole purpose was to take care of and make sure the kids were safe. And I failed Dominic. I failed my twins.

[Samantha! Look out!]

It was so fast that I had no time to dodge whatever was hurtling toward me. But Dominic was on full alert, and he had already pushed me out of the way before the spear struck me in the face.

My eyes widened in shock as I stood after Dominic and I rolled over the ground. [What was that!?] I gasped.

[Traps!] he snarled under his breath as he waited for me to get up. [I have a feeling there are more as we get closer to the place. Sharpen your senses, love. I have a feeling they won’t make it easy for us.]

Many more spears came before we were able to get to the entrance of the mine. It took me a lot of focus not to be grazed by any of them, knowing that these enemies were specialized in poisons.

[Can you feel them inside the mines? Devon and Diana?] I asked him as we both caught our breath, the second we knew we were finally safe from the spears. [Why are there no guards outside the mine?]

[It can be a trap.] Dominic answered as he looked inside the cave mine. [But we need to make sure if the kids are there or not. I know Olivia can be bluffing, but I have a feeling they are hiding something here that they don’t want us to see.]

[Just stay close to me] I said to him as I looked him in the eyes full of worry. [A witch from the Moonstone pack enhanced something about my power that will make me detect any danger that will come to us. I don’t know if I could use it well this time, but I will try. We can’t die in this place.]

[It’s the reason why I am here, love.] I felt him smile at me through the mate bond. [To protect you and make sure you will get out of this place safe. We will get the kids and we will go home.] As Dominic stepped closer and buried his muzzle in my fur, he promised me, "I won’t let them hurt you, Samantha." [I won’t let them hurt you, Samantha. They have to kill me first.]

I could see Dominic doing his best to make this better between us, but my heart couldn’t put my whole trust in him. If I were to rely on him again, would he be there for me this time?

Because I wasn’t sure anymore...

[Let’s not talk about death for now.] I muttered to him nervously as his scent filled my nose. His body was so warm, he made me swallow hard. [Let’s go find the kids.]
