Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Chapter 151

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“Is everything settled? Did the guards really catch Olivia?”

“Yes, Luna. They cornered her inside one of her penthouses in the city. We caught her packing her clothes with papers, her passport, and a ticket to Norway. Good thing we arrived in time before she left the building.”

“Thank you. Good job, then.” I smiled at the officer who brought me the news. I was in my office,  watching Devon and Diana play with their toys and watch shows on their gadgets. Dominic made sure I would go back to my duties after he proved to the elders and the council that I was innocent—that there was no way I could murder a person who was closest to me and treated as my mother for years.

“How about her father? Is there any news about him? Have they found him yet?”

I hated the idea that Richard Bennette, who was already in the hands of the Silver Crescent guards, still got out of the dungeons after one of his loyal minions got him out of his cell and fled in the middle of the night. Olivia must have heard that their Alpha had finally revealed their true identity and tried to flee from the pack, but failed. I made sure she won’t be able to get out of this place while I breathe.

“Her father will try to rescue her, so make sure to triple your security all over the place.” I reminded the guard. “Make sure you patrol the whole area twenty-four seven. All gates closed. No one enters, and no one gets outside the borders. Just like what the Alpha, my husband, orders.”

“Yes, your Grace. I will make sure everything is implemented as you ordered,” he replied and then nodded gently. I replied with a nod and a smile as I dismissed him and turned my attention to my kids and the paperwork on my table again.

But I couldn’t bear to concentrate. My eyes kept drifting toward the children, while the letters of the words I had been reading seemed to jump and jumble together. I leaned back in my chair and massaged the space between my eyes, feeling so frustrated and angry that Richard was still out there, posing a threat to my family. I felt as if I was sitting on the edge of a precipice, and with one wrong move, I would fall straight to my death.

Something was not right, and I needed to ensure that Olivia would go directly to the dungeon after all the torture she inflicted on me.

I would never let her get away.

Liam entered the room with a grave look on his face, and I knew immediately what that face meant. So I stood from my seat and asked him if he could stay with Madison and the kids, which he immediately accepted as he walked to Madison with a huge smile on his lips.

“Luna,” the guards bowed their heads as soon as I got into the dungeons to check if Olivia was already in there. “We are not informed of your visit—”

“I was informed she’s already here,” I said to them with my hands on my back, still trying to control it from shaking. I could still remember all the horrible things that Olivia did to me while I was incarcerated in this same prison. The tables had turned. Now she will see the monster she made me.

“Where is she?” I asked as soon as we arrived at the cell where Olivia was supposed to be incarcerated. My eyes widened in panic for a minute of confusion. “What’s happening here? Where is Olivia!?”

Even the guards didn’t know what happened. “We assure you, Your Grace! She was just here a minute ago!”

“F*ck!” I cursed under my breath as I reached for my husband through our mate bond to alarm him about what happened and what I found out in the dungeon. [DOMINIC!!!]

[Yes, love?] he sounded exhausted on the other end of the bond, but he sensed the rage in my voice and all his attention focused on me. [What happened?]

[Olivia! She got away! There are still loyalists of the Bennette staying under our roof, Dominic. We have to do something about this!]

[Yeah, I just got the report that someone was seen here with Richard on the southern part of the territory. I am on my way after them.]

And the connection with our mind was cut off.

As I entered the prison cell, I noticed a piece of paper on the cot that read, “You can never win against the real darkness.” My heart suddenly filled with terror as I crumpled the paper in my hand.

Many of the elders and the council were still frustrated and disappointed about how the Bennettes escaped from the Silver Crescent dungeons. Dominic failed to track them and just focused on tracking down the loyalists of the Fang Trinity and Black Claws inside the pack. He needed to clean his territory of traitors and enemies as he and Liam slowly worked on the walls of the eastern gates.

All of us high-ranking officials were at the funeral service of my husband’s mom, Lena—the woman who treated me like her own after my parents died. I still couldn’t believe she died after the last argument we had. It was ugly, and the guilt has stayed with me, keeping me awake all night since the murder happened.

But it was Domini who was devastated the most...

My twins placed wildflowers they picked at the back of our house and said they wanted to give them as a farewell to their Grandma. I was heartbroken that they had to go through this pain so young, but I couldn’t protect them. All of us are warriors and children of the Moon Goddess. We fight for our people. And death is a part of the cycle of life we have as soldiers.

Devon walked straight to me and said, “I dreamed about Grandma last night, and she told me the moon will illuminate those who lie,” and I had to hold back my tears because I could feel Devon could understand what those words meant. He knew the horrible things that happened inside Silver Crescent, and after their dreadful experience in the mine, I was scared my kids would never be the same again.

And I would make Olivia and her father pay for all of this!

“Love...”

I turned around and saw my husband walking towards me, closing the gap between us. There was a solemn look in his eyes as he wrapped his arms around my waist and planted a soft kiss on my lips. I felt that deep sadness in him as I tiptoed and kissed him back, wanting him to know that I was here with him and he could talk to me about how he felt.

Tears rolled down my face as I murmured, “I am so sorry about your mom, Dominic. I wish I could do something to avenge her.”

“Nothing that happened is your fault, my love. They used and framed you, and I apologize for not being able to handle everything on my own. I put your and the children’s lives in danger. I made terrible choices, Samantha. If only I were a good Alpha—”

“You did everything you could. Everything that is happening to Silver Crescent is too much, Dominic. You trusted those people, but you and your father didn’t know anything. I have a feeling your mother investigated this, and after she found out, they completely silenced her so they could still hide and continue destroying and robbing the pack with the resources they need to attack the Royal Clan.”

“It’s insane. I never, in a million years, thought a c*lt like them would have infiltrated the pack and walk and talk among us, under my very roof, and what made it worse—”

“I know. I know the information isn’t easy to process, Dominic. But we are both working on it.” I murmured to him and then pressed my cheek on his chest. “No one would ever think of it, too, so don’t blame yourself about everything, Dominic...”

He reached for me and cupped my face as he stared into my ocean blue eyes. “When we got married, when you walked down that aisle with that wonderful white dress, I actually smelled the jasmine on you. I just didn’t dare to admit it—”

I didn’t know what he meant by it, and I wanted to ask what he meant. But the sound of the alarm, blaring all over the village, brought panic in me as I pushed away from Dominic and looked outside the windows.

Both of us ran outside the house, and one of the patrolmen approached us with a pale face. My husband’s face was filled with dread upon discovering what had happened.

“What is it?” I asked him, wide-eyed with terror.

“The Black Claws,” he hissed under his breath. “They attacked again—and they are after my Clan and relatives.”
