Chapter 168: Chapter 168

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

When I opened my eyes, we were all in a different place.

It felt as if a powerful force had transported us to a new location that resembled the chamber we had been in before, but this one contained no treasures. There was only an empty space, with faint light flickering from the other end of it.

No, it wasn’t a chamber anymore but more like a tunnel.

[Now, where are we?] Killian asked as he grunted and held his head, shaking it. [What the f*ck is happening here!?]

[Shut your mouth, Killian. Not in front of the kids.] Dominic snapped at him as he glared at the Moonstone Alpha and then studied the whole place with his werewolf eyes. [I think the light transported us somewhere that is far from the Silver Crescent territory. If it’s the same as the cave Samantha and I walked into before, then it must have brought us into a different dimension...]

[Different what?!] Killian’s eyes deepened into a furrow. Looking so confused and exhausted.

[A dimension between time and space.] I explained to him, trying to make sense of all of this to my friend. It’s a place where time just freezes. Like an eternal loop with no beginning and no end, everything here is all stuck into the stillness of time.]

[First, an underground cave with a Kraken in it. Then a chamber of treasures! Now, a dimension where time doesn’t exist?! What the f*ck is happening, Samantha? What is this we are all dealing with?!] Killian blurted in panic, finally losing it. His voice echoed from every corner of the cave.

[We are not really sure...] I said in a soft voice as I focused my eyes on the faint light at the other end of the tunnel. [What I know is this is all beyond our understanding, Killian. Something that my mother and Lena know. Something that put them in huge trouble and led them to live a life full of darkness and secrets. We are here to unravel it all and make this right.]

[And to save the kids and Samantha from those bastards.] Dominic snarled, his jaw clenched as the side of his face twitched in silent anger. [We will end all of this now!]

[Look who’s snarling at me about cussing,] Killian sneered as he looked at my husband through the corner of his eyes.

[No time for your bickering!] I snapped at the two and then sighed as I made sure Devon and Diana were comfortable beside me. [We have to know what’s in there. We can’t stay here and wait until bad happens again.]

Killian cleared his throat and mumbled something, which I unfortunately heard well. [Everywhere we go, everyone wants us dead.]

I shot him a warning look, and he just averted his eyes and then cracked the bones in his neck and stretched his arms and legs as he said again in his cheerful voice, “So where are we going next? Who are we going to kill this time?”

I only rolled my eyes at him as I shook my head. I didn’t know the reason why Killian went with us here. He told us it was about Brianna—that she was connected to what was happening to me, and without solving all of this, her life would be in danger as well. That dedication he was showing to save her made me happy for Killian. He finally had a reason to fight once again.

My husband looked at me as if he felt what I felt. He understood that Killian was desperate to save Brianne, just like how he was desperate to keep me and his children alive, and that anger in his face softened, the tension on his shoulders slowly relaxing.

When I looked back at the faint light, I noticed it was gradually getting a little bit brighter, and I was suddenly alarmed at what it really was. Dominic and Killian saw it too and were about to step in front of us, but I stopped them with a glance. Devon and Diana clung to me tightly.

“Mom, please don’t go there. I can sense something dangerous in that place,” Diana whispered to me in her trembling voice.

[Samantha! You don’t know what’s in there!] Killian shouted at me, his rough voice echoed once again, putting more tension in the dark atmosphere in the whole place. I was breathing hard. Fast. My heart was frantic as we got close. I squinted. At first, I thought the figures were shadows dancing on the walls created by that faint light, like a small flame flickering from the soft wind. But this light wasn’t from a flame or something. It was an orb of light at the end of the tunnel. What was at the other end of this wide channel? What’s waiting for all of us in there!?

[Samantha, No!]

My eyes widened as soon as I realized what those shadows were.

I was too shocked to move. Those vile creatures moved faster than lightning, and only Killian and Dominic had the chance to shield me and the children from them. My body responded to the danger and shielded Devon and Diana with my body, too, regretting that I let the curiosity in me win when we didn’t have any idea of this place.

[I’m so sorry,] I kept on whispering to Diana and Devon over and over as I held both of them tight, snarls and roars filling the whole place, and the sickening sound of breaking bones and tearing flesh made the kids tremble in horror.

[Everything will be okay,] I whispered to them again. [Daddy and Mommy, and Uncle Killian will make sure you are both safe. I am so sorry. We shouldn’t have brought you here.] Tears rolled down my face, and Diana reached for them to wipe them off my face.

“Don’t cry, Mom. Devon and I are here to help. We said we will help.” Diana sobbed as she dried my tears. “We won’t let you and Dad leave us again while both of you fight. We will help. We want to help, Mom!”

[Okay,] I breathed deeply, filling my lungs with air, trying to keep myself together as I pulled them behind me, making sure they were safe from the fight that was happening between the two Alphas and the dark forces that looked more like werewolves—only that they had the same features as the beasts we saw in the cave where Dominic and I were trapped inside while looking for that object that Brianna wanted me to find and yet still failed to find because of all the chaos that happened between us and the Bennets.

They were as strong as a Beta and fast, so it was a bad idea for just Dominic and Killian to fight ten or twelve of them like we did in that cave. I glanced back at Devon and Diana, thinking of the way to hide them from the enemy’s sight, and then I saw a wide column just a few steps away, hoping it was enough to cover them from the dark werewolves.

[Stay here.] I whispered to Devon and Diana. Mommy doesn’t want to leave both of you, but I need to help Dad and Killian. Remain hidden here and hide your presence just like how you did when you tried to sneak out of Liam’s house. Do it, and you will be safe while we deal with those beasts. Understand?]

Devon and Diana nodded their heads, making me let out a sigh of relief as I looked back at Dominic and Killian, who were starting to struggle to have control over the situation. Eight beasts were trying to take my husband down while four were trying to tear Killian into pieces with their long, razor-sharp claws.

The adrenaline in my system pumped up when I saw two of the dark werewolves lunge at my husband, pinning him down to the ground. One almost reached his neck with its teeth if he wasn’t quick enough to avoid it.

[Go away from my husband!]

My roar shook the tunnel, and all the dark werewolves stopped as they felt that powerful presence I gave off to distract them. Killian and Dominic took advantage of that chance and started tearing, biting, and clawing them one by one as I joined them, killing two of the dark werewolves with my teeth. That bitter taste of their black ichor made me almost gag and vomit as I spat them out of my mouth.

[I hate doing that.] I complained as I helped my husband get to our kids.

[Yeah, you should get used to this, I guess? I have a feeling it won’t be just them who want all of us dead in here.] Killian replied, his face showing clear disgust at the ichor in his mouth, like I did, as we all gathered back to Devon and Diana.

But then strange things happened.

As we stepped over the dead bodies, all three of us started to notice that they were melting into a thick, thick liquid until they evaporated into thin air. We were all so confused that we froze for a few seconds before returning to the twins.

[I am starting to go crazy in this place.] Killian murmured in horror as he looked at me and then at Dominic. [Have you seen how they melt like butter in front of us!?]

[It’s this place.] I said to Killian as I stared at that black spot where the dead body used to lie before it disappeared. [I think their bodies had existed for so many centuries already that when they died, they just melted and turned into nothing.]

[We have to get out of here fast.] Dominic murmured as he led me gently to the kids. [We shouldn’t wait for these people to trap us in here.]
