Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Chapter 164

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

My husband’s smile caught me off guard.

After I saw Devon shyly put the wolftail grass on my husband’s hand, threatening his Dad never to make me cry again, I felt like my heart was flooded with love for my little family. Diana smiled at me; her eyes were enthusiastic as she gave me a gentle nod, like she was congratulating me.

But then that familiar scream from the guard distracted me, and my eyes widened as I saw Killian pushing his way towards the stage. Behind him was the witch of the Moonstone pack, Brianne, who was ghostly pale as she caught my eyes with a dreaded look.

I didn’t know the rest of what she said, but I heard her talk about the tomb.

My forehead creased into a deep frown and confusion.

My mother’s tomb?!

Everyone in the crowd panicked when they saw the witch, and some screamed to drive her and Killian away. When Brianne fainted, I looked at my husband, terrified for my friend and Brianne, as Killian carried her and elbowed his way to us.

Dominic signaled and gestured for the guards to take care of the crowd and guide them out of the event hall. Some were angry, while others were confused, but they followed the Gamma wolves to safety when they said the ceremony was over.

“Killian! Brianne!” My eyes were wide as they approached us, both panting and panic-stricken. I was baffled when Brianne woke up with wide eyes and pushed away from Killian. She almost tripped, but I caught her arm to help her regain her balance.

“Lady Samantha!” She exclaimed, panting and trembling; her eyes were dark with indescribable terror, which brought the hairs on my nape to stand. “The tomb! The stone on the tomb has moved!”

I was starting to feel upset because I couldn’t understand, “What do you mean, Brianne? What’s happening?!” I lifted my eyes to Killian and waited for him to explain, but he looked away as if he couldn’t say it himself.

“What is happening here?” Dominic snarled and threw sharp glances at each of them. “Explain to us, Brianne!”

All the colors on her face drained as she looked at the Alpha of the Silver Crescent pack and then at me. She spoke softly, her lips quivering as she explained without blinking her eyes. “Your mother’s tom, Luna Samantha! When the twin keys have turned the lock cylinder, the dead would return in the moonlight!”

“She keeps on saying this the whole day,” Killian finally said as he brushed his fingers on his hair with frustration, pain etched on his face as he worried for Brianne. “I don’t understand any of it. All I know is she needed to get here to tell you about this thing.”

“She said my mother’s tomb, Dominic. I need to check what happened!” I muttered nervously at my husband as I helped Brianne stand and walked her to Killian, making sure she wouldn’t faint again.

Dominic paused for a bit as if thinking and measuring the situation before he turned to Liam and then threw orders at his Beta and Gamma Leaders behind him. Liam listened attentively to his Alpha, and his eyes reflected both eagerness and determination to complete the mission. “Send an expedition team to check on the area, Liam. I want you to lead the team and make sure to investigate the place thoroughly. I have a feeling the Fang Trinity is behind this! They’re the only organization here that can commit such atrocities.”

Liam gave Dominic and all of us a nod to excuse himself and the Gamma leaders as they exited the stage.

My family was left with Killian and Brianne, and the rest of the elders and council members who performed the ceremony with me.

“Let’s go back to the pack house. We have to wait for Liam to know what really happened in your mother’s tomb,” Dominic said to me as he caressed my face gently.

*****

“How’s Brianne?”

Killiane gave me an exhausted look as I approached him and offered him a hot cup of tea. He took it and murmured a thank you, and then took a little sip.

He made a short pause as he looked down at the tea and then answered with a sad voice, “I am not sure what is happening to her, Sam. All I know is it’s all connected to you. Everything that is happening also affects her. Saving you means also saving her.”

I looked at him and didn’t know what to say. I could tell he loved her the way his eyes turned dark when he mentioned her condition.

“Luna Samantha, the Beta is here.”

Killian was the first one to rush out of my office, and I followed. When we arrived in the living area, everyone else was already there.

“Liam!”

“Luna Samantha, what Miss Brianne said is true! They moved the stone covering your mother’s tomb, and the body vanished! We did everything to find any trace that could lead us to where the culprits went. No scent. No footprints or anything that could tell us from what pack they’re from.”

“What f*ck—that’s impossible!” Killian snarled. “Who went there? A f*cking ghost?!”

“A f*cking ghost moving a dead f*cking body. Yeah, funny, Killian.” Dominic sneered at the Moonstone Alpha as he folded his arms on his chest, and then his attention went to his Beta. “I have a feeling Fang Trinity has something to do with it. Samantha and I had seen how they use dark spells to manipulate things around them. They are the only people I suspect who can do this.”

“We found this instead.” Liam passed me an envelope inside a Ziploc, and I opened it with trembling fingers. Everyone was looking at me, even Diana and Devon, who were standing beside Madison.

“My twin keys?” I murmured.

As I opened the envelope, Diana and Devon suddenly covered their ears. They both cried and grimaced like they were hearing something and it was hurting them. When I was about to run to them, the pain stopped. They both looked at me, looking scared as they wrapped their small arms around me.

“What happened, Diana? Devon?!”

They couldn’t speak. My twins just hid their faces against me as they trembled.

I wanted to throw away that piece of paper, scared of what effect it had on my twins, but something about it was urging me to read what was inside, and so I did, like I was being possessed by something that was beyond my strength to stop.

“My dearest daughter, when you read this letter, you must have gained your wolf already. Remember when I used to hide your baby teeth, telling you the tooth fairy would come and exchange them for a much more precious gift?”

“What the f*ck does that mean?” Killian growled, confused at what was happening. “What does a f*cking tooth fairy do with all of this?”

I paused, thinking of what my Mom’s riddle was about.

And then I figured out what she meant.

“Last year,” I swallowed hard as I looked at each of their faces, as I tried to explain. I knew I would sound weird, but I thought it was the only thing that my mother was telling. “When Devon’s baby teeth fell off last year, they actually glowed in a metallic luster under the moonlight when I was about to throw them outside the window and then just decided to keep them like how my mother did to mine when I was little.”

Killian grimaced. “You keep Devon and Diana’s baby teeth like a stamp collection?”

“Shut up, Killian.” Dominic gave him an annoyed glare as he walked towards me and then looked at the envelope, studying it.

He pointed at the logo at the end of the letter. I saw the dread in his eyes as he whispered. “This was an insignia of a usurper back then, before the new King sat on the throne.” After seeing it, he looked at Liam as if asking his Beta if he could say something to me, as he hesitated about it.

“What is it, Dominic? Tell me.” I asked him, scared and confused. “What is it that you are not telling me?”

“Tell him, Dominic,” Liam said, averting his eyes from me as I looked at him. “Your wife deserves to know.”

Dominic swallowed hard before he spoke, his voice conveying doubt. “The tomb where your mother’s body rested was an anchor between time and space, not just to preserve her body but because my mother believes she can take your mother back to life. She holds the belief that your mother’s mission isn’t done yet. She and those in that organization they were in did everything they could, believing the time would come that she would be revived again.”

My eyes widened as fear crawled up my skin.

“What do you mean, Dominic?”

He looked at me as shadows darkened his hazel eyes.

“I think your mother is back from the dead, Samantha,” he uttered, and my heart raced in fear.
