Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Chapter 152

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“What’s happening, Dominic?” I asked him, eyes wide as I saw his face full of dread.

He seemed confused when he stared at me blankly as if he could see something other than me. The terror had spread in his mind like dark ink, contaminating him with thoughts of murder. That confusion turned into panic, panic into rage, and rage into despair.

“Dominic?” I asked him again as I started to feel worried and scared for him. I had never seen him lose control over his emotions like this. “What happened? What happened to the southern border? What do you mean about your relatives—”

“I have to go, love.” Dominic was not himself when he walked away from me and shifted into his werewolf form. I watched him run towards the southern part of the village and didn’t glance back even for a second.

That’s how grave the situation was.

“I have to go there...” I murmured to myself as I watched my husband fade away from my view and head back to the house to inform Madison that she and the kids had to go to Liam’s home. Devon and Diana weren’t happy about the idea that I had to leave them again, so I knelt in front of them and put my hands on both of their shoulders.

Filled with guilt, I kissed both of their foreheads. “I have to go after Dominic, kids. I have to make sure everything will be okay and no enemies can enter the borders again. It’s for your safety. I will not let anyone hurt or take you away from us again.”

“We will go with you,” Diana pouted with fear in her eyes. “Don’t leave us again, Mom!”

I helplessly looked at Madison, and she understood the anxiety on my face as she knelt on Diana and pinched her chubby cheek. “It’s okay, baby girl. We can play with Beta Liam’s niece and nephew while we stay there. Mama has to do her duty as the Luna of the pack. Someday, you will understand...”

Diana’s eyes were teary when she stared at me and did a gentle nod. Devon was silent beside her and stayed brave as he nodded at me, telling me he understood the situation.

“Thank you so much,” I whispered to both of them and embraced them tightly. “I will be back as soon as I can. I will call Liam to take you into his home. And please...” I looked at Devon and Diana with pleading eyes. “Don’t try to run away this time?”

“It depends,” Devon smirked, but when he noticed I wasn’t joking at all, his smirk turned into a face full of guilt. “I’m sorry, Mom. I will make sure Diana is safe. Don’t worry.”

“Not just Diana. I want you both safe, okay? You watch each other’s backs and make sure you stay close with Madison and Liam.” I reminded them before I stood and kissed them on the tops of their heads. “Mommy will come back as soon as she can. I love you both so much.”

I lunged and shifted into my wolf form, taking a final glance at my kids. I hated to leave them. I hated to always worry about whether I would see them again or not. I hated this feeling.

“What happened?”

I marched towards the gates and saw a crowd of soldiers looking outside. My husband was on top of the wall and was looking down at something that was behind the twenty-foot concrete barrier that protects Silver Crescent from enemies and beasts outside of Black Forest.

Other members of the council and the elders that Dominic believed weren’t members of the Fang Trinity gave me a suspicious glare as I pushed my way through the top of the walls where my husband was.

Dominic was still in a state of shock when I approached him and didn’t even notice my presence. It hurt me to see the grief on him as I looked down and saw five silver-furred werewolves lying on the ground that was tainted crimson with their blood. All the colors on my face drained as I realized what happened, and when I was about to hold my husband, one of the council members rushed to us and asked us to follow him back to the pack house to show us something.

My mate was still not himself, and I could feel that grief eating him away. I felt terrible that he had to experience another loss when Lena just died.

We all looked at the big television screen in the sitting area, which one of the council members turned on, and my eyes widened after I saw a very familiar face—that man I had been wanting to kill since we left the mine cave!

“This is for my beloved people of Silver Crescent, whom I dedicated my whole life to serving and protecting!” he exclaimed. I could tell he had lost pounds, and his eyes went deep with dark circles, making him look like he hadn’t had sleep for a week.

“This is to inform you that all the news that spreads all over the pack is not true! I am not a member of a conspiracy against the pack that I had been serving for decades! It is that woman! Samantha and Killian, the Alpha of the Moonstone pack, had been framing me for actions that were against my will. They had been planning to kill Alpha Dominic and take over the pack! She and that bastard are behind all of the terrible things that are happening in our place, our homes, and we will never let them do this!”

“What the f*ck is he saying?!” One of the soldiers cursed under his breath, and I couldn’t believe what I was watching. It was live, on air, and every home in the Silver Crescent was probably watching it!

He’s trying to defame me once again—to destroy my reputation with the people of Silver Crescent!

Then a video of Killian and I meeting with Brianne in the forest started playing. How could he manage to take those videos!? I would know if there was someone who was nearby at that moment!

Could it be one of the people of Fang Trinity?!

“Diana!”

I rushed towards the backyard after I saw my daughter’s nose bleeding. Devon stared in complete shock, and Madison went inside in panic to get ice for her. I kneeled in front of her and wiped it with a towel as I tipped her head backwards.

“Mommy!” she cried in panic as I held her hand, making sure she wouldn’t faint.

“It’s okay, honey...Mommy’s here now,” I whispered to her. My chest was heaving with fear for my daughter. “What happened? Did you hurt yourself?”

“Mom,” Diana uttered softly as she looked at me with sad eyes. “Mom, I seem to see a black wolf... biting the moon.”

I stared at her and couldn’t make sense of what she said. But I was more concerned about the bleeding, so I didn’t think about what she said that much. After the bleeding stopped and Madison made Diana and Devon take their afternoon nap, I sat down on the couch, my mind filled with what Brianne told me. They were the key. Did those explain the mysterious things they had been telling me? And Diana... I knew she was special. But it scared me that she sees and feels things that they shouldn’t be dealing with at this young age...

While I was deep in my thoughts, I was surprised when the door opened and Dominic entered the living room with a heavy sigh.

“Dominic? What’s happened?” I immediately approached him and helped him take off his jacket. His eyes were worn out, but he looked at me and gave me a soft, loving smile, which melted my heart.

“There will be another funeral to give respect to the ones that the Black Claws killed last night. I was never close to any of my relatives, I will make sure they will be buried in the Clan cemetery.”

“I am really sorry for what happened. I wish I could do something to help, my love.”

“This is what I have been wanting to tell you, my love...” he said with a soft, pleading voice.

His exhausted eyes gazed at me with reluctance, but he decided to say it in the end. “I need you to stop working in the packhouse to focus on the kids. After what I had seen today, I think I would never sleep worrying about you and the children. They are after us, love. They want us all dead. And I would never let them.”

I stared at him for seconds, measuring things in my head. And after seeing Diana’s nose bleeding and Devon’s terrified face, I decided he was right. I couldn’t do Luna duties and be a mother and a wife. I had to focus on one duty. And that was to make my children safe from the enemies and to always be there for Dominic every time he gets home, exhausted from all the work he’s done for days.

“If that’s what you think is best for the kids and our family,” I smiled at him and kissed his lips gently. Guilt spread across his face, and although he was about to say something again, I decided to take his jacket into the room and pretend that nothing was wrong.

But deep inside, I was hurt.

When I got into our room, I noticed the diary of my mom and flipped through the pages. I saw something that caught my attention. It was a picture of my mom and Lena when they were younger. And a man between them wearing a wolf totem, which made me frown. I knew I saw this symbol somewhere—

My eyes widened.

That was the same symbol I saw on the dead bodies of the wolves lying on the other side of the southern gates!
