Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 154

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“What is this? What are you doing in my house?”

I frowned, confused and upset that I was being summoned again by the elders and the council for questioning at the pack house. I was getting tired of their endless questioning. Their endless drama and complicating things when it should be me and Dominic who should face this, and my family issues shouldn’t be any of their business.

But I am the Luna of the pack. I am their Alpha’s wife and the mother of the future leaders of Silver Crescent. My life was for them to talk about. My issues were their issues. They should know every detail about me and the kids, and the secrecy Lena protected with her life.

“The Alpha sent us for your security; he told us to get the kids to the house of the Beta, where they can be safe, Your Grace. The elders need to know your side of the story about Mother Luna’s case.”

“I thought Liam had already explained to them everything? What else do they want to know?! They are just slowing down the whole investigation! They already have the suspects dancing on the palm of their hands, and they let them escape!”

“I’m sorry, Your Grace, but we are just doing what the council told us.” The Gamma wolf told me, a little awkward and worried that I wouldn’t do as the council wished. I understood that they were only doing their job, but I couldn’t help but feel upset with how those people tried to manipulate my and my children’s lives.

I couldn’t tolerate this anymore!

“Devon? Diana?”

The Gamma soldiers waited patiently as I went inside to look for my twins. “Diana! Devon!”

“Lady Samantha!” Madison rushed towards me from the kitchen with wide eyes full of panic and fear. She was panting as if she had been looking for something all around the house, and that’s when I started to panic as well.

“Where are the kids, Madison? Where are Devon and Diana?!” I asked her as I grabbed both of her shoulders.

“I had been looking around and I couldn’t find them!” she cried as she burst into tears, dropping her face into her hands. “I am so sorry, Lady Samantha! They were just here when I left them to prepare their lunch! I don’t know what happened!”

“No...” My hand automatically went to my forehead and my stomach as I ran around the house screaming for Devon and Diana, hoping that they were just pulling a prank and were just hiding somewhere.

But I couldn’t find them anymore.

They disappeared.

[COUNCIL HALL]

“Are you certain they are just playing somewhere inside the house?”

“Yes! Diana’s nose bled, and I had to put them to bed to rest. But Madison told me they weren’t in their room, so she looked around, and the last time she saw them, they were sitting across the living room, behind the curtains, talking about something! When I went back to look for them after I was informed about the summons of the council, they weren’t in the house anymore! They... they...”

I slumped down in the chair as I held my forehead. I was feeling dizzy. I was so confused about what was happening, and I didn’t know how I could process it. My twins were gone! In the house where I was with them! I didn’t know how that happened. Madison and I searched everywhere, and we couldn’t find any trace of forced entry. If they took the twins, we would know! Diana and Devon would fight back. They would scream! I would know!

“Calm down, Sam. We will find them.” It was Killian who walked toward me and rubbed my back gently as I massaged my forehead with my thumb and index finger. “If they just disappeared, just like what you said, there should be a trace somewhere. I can help you check if you want.”

“You are not going anywhere near my house, Killian.” Dominic snarled at him as he approached us, his eyes glaring at the Moonstone Alpha. Brianne stepped in front of Killian, though, ready to throw a spell at my husband, but I stood protectively in front of Dominic, stopping the commotion from happening.

I can’t blame Brianne if she ever hurts Dominic. I would do the same if someone threatened my mate.

“I am just trying to help here,” Killian snarled and glared back at my husband.

“Trying to help?!” Dominic snapped at him, “Tell Samantha what you saw in the library when you went there! Why don’t you tell her that?!”

“What is he talking about, Killian?” I asked my friend about what Dominic was talking about. I was so confused, and my head was pounding hard, making me dizzy.

Killian was unprepared for what Dominic had said and stood with his back straight as he tried to evade my gaze.

“What is it, Killian?” I asked again with an adamant voice. “I need to know!”

With hesitation, he took something from the pocket of his pants and then scoffed at Dominic and grimaced. He threw that piece of paper on the table, and I took it with shaking hands.

“The dark forces want the royal blood in your twins, Sam,” he said with a soft voice, scared that any wrong word would send me into a full-blown panic again. “If it’s those men who took them, I am not sure where they brought the twins—”

My eyes widened, and everyone stood from their seat when Dominic attacked Killian at blinding speed and grabbed the Moonstone Alpha on his neck. Brianne was so shocked she wasn’t able to move for seconds until she realized what had just happened.

“You knew!” Dominic snarled and tightened his grip on Killian’s neck. “You knew the secret behind all of this, and you decided to hide it from us, you—”

“Stop it, Dominic!” I stepped between them, snarling at both of them.

Then I smelled something familiar on Killian. I turned sharply towards him, seeing his hand stained by something that smelled metallic and lavender. That smell—I smelled Devon’s blood on him!

As I looked at the stain on his hand, something flashed in my head, something that I couldn’t understand why my wolf showed me that moment. It was that one memory of me, him, and the kids in the middle of summer five years ago. We were in a camp to celebrate the harvest for the Moon Goddess. Under the clear, starry sky and the full moon, I laid my twins underneath the silver moonlight and bathed them with it, believing that the Moon Goddess would see them and would protect them in any circumstances.

Then I remembered Killian, staring at my babies with full awe. I could still remember that strange expression on his face, which made my stomach twist. I didn’t know what was in his mind at that time. But I knew something was strange with Killian. There was something he was hiding from me, and it was scaring me.

Why did he have blood on his hands that smelled like my son’s?!

I was about to confront him if he knew something about what happened to my twins, but the alarm blared all over the hall, making everyone jump in fear and surprise. A Gamma soldier immediately approached my husband, all tense and distressed, as he whispered something to Dominic. The sound of my heartbeat was louder than the alarm ringing all over the building, and as I watched my husband’s eyes grow wider as he listened, I knew something terrible had happened.

“Dominic—”

“We have to go.” He grabbed my wrist to lead me out of the council meeting room and forcefully pushed the door open, swinging it wide. “They found a weird passage from the cellar of the house, and it led them directly to the Black Forest.”

“Cellar!?” I burst as I walked with him out of the building. “How could the kids go into the cellar?! The last time I checked on it, it was tightly locked!”

“Love, they are werewolves,” he stopped for a bit to look at my worried face and caressed my cheek, “Not just ordinary werewolves but gifted ones. Nothing is impossible with our kids.”

Tears brimmed in my eyes. “How could someone get into our cellar?”

“So it’s the only place in the house you didn’t thoroughly check?” he asked with that dark expression on his face. He opened the car’s door for me as he drove as fast as he could back to the house.

When we arrived, Liam was already there trying to comfort Madison. He led the investigation and the patrol group to track the twins if they ever tried to run away again to the forest, but it seemed they found something strange, and Dominic and I needed to know!

I didn’t waste another second and went to the cellar. It was already open when Dominic and I went inside, and I was horrified at what I saw—Silver furs everywhere, mixed with purplish-black strands of hair.

And the only one who had that hair color was my husband.

“It’s not mine,” he immediately said as soon as I looked at him. “It must be from someone else, love. But who? Only my family has this color of hair...”

My hands were shaking. My husband was right. The hair wasn’t his. The smell was different from my husband’s. It wasn’t him. It wasn’t Dominic...

But who took my Devon and Diana!?

Where are my twins!?
