Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Chapter 171

[Samantha’s Point of View]

“You can do it. We’re almost there...”

I barely breathed as I helped my husband go to the other side of the hallway. I saw the tension on my twins and Killian’s faces as they all watched me and Dominic walk side by side, his arms on my shoulder as I did my best to drag him as fast as I could as the debris started falling behind us, sealing the place with rubble and boulders, burying the ancient library into nothing.

“You can do it, Mom! Dad!” Diana blurted as tears rolled down her face, “Please!”

“C’mon!” Devon joined his sister as his eyes glistened from the faint light coming from the orbs floating on the walls. “Faster!”

“It’s okay, we will be okay,” I murmured to my husband as I smiled at him in the middle of chaos. His eyes glinted, and his lips curved into a soft smile while he looked at our twins. His blood still trickled down his chin as we both reached the end of that collapsing hallway.

“We’re going to die,” I said, a little sarcastic as I laughed, terrified and nervous after a huge boulder fell just a few feet behind me.

“If I die, then I’ll die happy,” he answered back as he laughed with me and glanced a little at me, and then focused his eyes in front of us again. “But don’t worry, my love. I will make sure you survive for the kids.”

“As if I will let you die here,” I growled at him, my eyes sharpening as I made my pace faster, forcing him to drag himself to keep up with me.

The rumbling sound became louder and louder.

“I don’t think we can make it!” My voice and lips started to quiver when I saw the ceiling above us cracked. I thought my heart went to my throat as I looked up and watched them rattling against each other, threatening to fall on our heads any minute.

“GET DOWN!”

I was in total panic when Dominic pushed me to the floor and shielded his body when the ceiling started to collapse and fell on us. I thought I heard him scream in pain, followed by grunts. I could barely breathe; my heart was like thunder in my chest. I caught my breath and slowly opened my eyes to see Dominic on top of me, shielding me from a large section of the ceiling that had fallen onto his back. To my horror, he vomited blood, and it spattered on my chest, making me gasp and start to hyperventilate in hysteria.

“Dominic!” I gasped as I looked down at the fresh blood on my chest. Blood was still trickling from his chin and coming from his head, and I realized those were new wounds he got after he saved me from the collapsed ceiling.

“Shhh... It’s all right. You’re alright,” he said in his assuring tone, thinking I was badly hurt and trying to calm me down. “I will keep you safe, Samantha. Even if it costs me my life.”

Tears rolled down the side of my face as I looked at those gentle hazel eyes looking down at me. His face was just inches from me as his blood continued trickling from his head. I swallowed hard when my throat started to feel swollen. I never wanted to cry in front of Dominic. Not like this. We won’t die like this. I wouldn’t let it happen.

“It’s okay, my love,” he kept on murmuring as he grunted, trying to hide the excruciating pain from me, even though he knew it was useless because we were connected with the mate bond.

“You’ll lose a lot of blood, Dominic.” A sob slipped from my throat as I tried to calm myself down and stared into his eyes. “Why are you doing this?”

“What do you mean, why am I doing this?” He asked, his brows deepening into a furrow as the corner of his lips tugged into a smirk. “Of course, because I love you, silly.”

That’s when I lost it.

Tears started to stream down my face as my shoulders shook. Worry flashed in my husband’s eyes as he watched me cry.

“Are you hurt?” he asked in his rough, husky voice as he checked on my face and shoulders. “Are you hurt, Samantha? Please tell me!”

I shook my head gently as I sobbed, covering my eyes with my forearm, too embarrassed for him to see me crying like a helpless child. It’s been a very long time since I showed Dominic my soft and helpless side, and I was so not used to it.

“I will not let anything happen to you...” He whispered again as he smiled at me despite the excruciating pain he was feeling.

“And I won’t let you die either!” I snarled as I sniffed and tried to push down my throat the sobs that were threatening to emerge again. With clenched teeth, I tore the hem of my shirt and crumpled it in my hand. Dominic winced when I pressed it against the wound on his head, but chuckled, trying to distract me again from the fear that was looming in my head.

“I guess we are not going to let each other go, then,” he smirked as he gazed down at my eyes and down my slightly parted lips. “We will be stuck with each other forever.”

There was another rumbling from the debris above Dominic, and the smirk on his face disappeared and was replaced with pain that flashed on his face. His strength was slowly depleting, and the rubble and debris behind his back were pressing him down until his face was just an inch from mine.

Please, Moon Goddess, we need help...

[Dominic! Samantha!]

Our eyes widened with hope when we heard Killian’s voice through the mind link. Little by little, the weight behind my husband’s back got lessened. The sound of rocks rolling down the ground was heard, and then light entered when, finally, Killian lifted that massive boulder behind my husband’s bruised and injured back.

“F*ck! Are you both still alive in there!?” Killian yelled, terrified at what had happened. “Goddess, please speak if you both are still breathing!”

“We’re fine!” Dominic yelled back; his voice was weak as he grunted in pain. He was about to get up, but his elbows and knees betrayed him as he collapsed on top of me unconsciously.

“Dominic? Dominic!” I tried to wake him up, panic spread all over my face, and I never cared that he was twice my weight as he pinned me to the ground. Killian moved fast and pulled Dominic from on top of me, checking if my husband was still breathing.

“He’s alive alright,” Killian assured me as he checked on Dominic’s pulse. Devon and Diana immediately ran towards us and were crying after they saw their Dad not responding to them.

“What happened?” I wiped my tears with the back of my hand as I checked on Dominic, my hands on each side of his face as I tried to wake my husband up. “He’s just talking a minute ago.”

“He must have saved all his strength and made sure those boulders won’t crush both of you into a pulp,” Killain explained as he looked at me and then at Dominic’s pale face. “His wounds need Moonthorn grass. It looks like it’s not going to heal because of this place. We need to find it in the Black Forest as soon as we get out of this sh*thole.”

Killian picked Dominic up and carried my husband on his shoulder. He was struggling, but he looked at me and nodded as if silently telling me he got this. He won’t let anything bad happen to my mate, and I was so grateful that my eyes were teary.

“Let’s go.”

I grabbed Devon and Diana’s hands as we all searched for our way out of the cave. To our surprise, it didn’t take us long to reach the exit and Killian, who was almost breathless, carefully put Dominic down on the grass and rested for a bit.

Devon, who was a little distant from his Dad, approached Dominic immediately and examined his father’s face with worry and then looked at me, his eyes glistening with tears. “Can’t you heal him, Mom? Do you think your blood can heal him too?!”

I was startled by Devon’s fear for his dad’s life. Despite all of that, our little boy still loved his Dad, which made me happy, even though Devon was suspicious of Dominic and hated him for all the pain his Dad caused me. I kissed the top of Devon’s head and reached out for my little Diana, who started crying again as she realized how dire the situation was after seeing her brother.

“Yeah, why don’t you try? It worked on me. It will definitely work on your mate, Samantha!” Killian said as he scratched his chin and then stared at me. “I guess that will work faster than the Moonthorn grass. That herb is rare in this part of the forest. It might take us until tomorrow to find it.”

After Killian’s suggestion, I looked down at my unconscious husband and saw that he was in agony. A sob threatened to escape my throat again as I thought of all the injuries he willingly received just to keep me alive. I stared at his bruised ribs. His broken left shoulder blade. The concussion on his head and those raw wounds on his back after sharp edges of stones cut and pierced them.

I drew in a sharp breath when I dug my nails deep into my palm and dripped it on Dominic’s wounds. My blood glowed gold, and as soon as it seeped into my husband’s skin, his injuries immediately healed. His bruises turned lighter, like they were never there. His broken bones were fixed and his skin regenerated faster than an Alpha could heal.

Killian’s jaw dropped at what he witnessed.

My eyes widened when Dominic bolted away. He was so fast I didn’t have time to flinch away when he grabbed my neck and pulled me close to his face. His teeth bared, his snarls ripped in his throat with pure anger.

His voice was both clear and hoarse as he growled at me, saying, “Stop looking at me like that, woman. I never believed the evidence!”
