Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Chapter 174

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

Something was happening to my kids, and I didn’t know how to help. I didn’t know how to save them from the horrible things these supernatural beings did in their heads. We had to get out of this horrible place before anything got worse for my twins!

“Killian! The doors!”

But as the second, I yelled at the Moonstone Alpha to secure the exit; the door slammed closed on its own, almost making Devon and Diana jump in dread surprise. Killian cursed under his breath as he turned to the windows, but all of them closed tight, trapping us all inside that ancient cabin in the middle of nowhere.

“What’s happening?” I hissed. I breathed quickly; my heart was pounding so loudly in my ears. My mind was divided between my twins, that clicking, eerie sound coming from the walls, and that clanking sound of the dragging chains in the basement underneath us.

“Just keep the children close to you, Samantha!” Killian blurted as he raised his hand protectively to us while his wary eyes were looking around the cabin, figuring out where the next threat would come from. Something was off about Killian. My gut told me something was wrong with him, but I couldn’t tell what. Must be that calm look on his face? But I knew Killian as a composed person at dangerous times like this. Yet, my stomach tightened when he looked back at me and then raised both his brows at me as if he wasn’t too bothered about all the weird things that were happening inside the cabin.

Has Brianne told him everything about it already? Could it be possible that they could still communicate through their bond over a distance like this?

I got more horrified when Devon suddenly knelt on the floor, screaming with both his hands on his head like he was in deep pain. My eyes widened in panic as I grabbed him by the shoulders and looked into his eyes to see what was happening. His face was drenched with tears, his eyes were wide with terror, and his skin was hot like he was having a fever. The first thing I did was look at Diana to understand what was happening to her twin brother, but she was just crying and burying her small face against my arm.

“Devon, Devon, look at me,” I whispered to my son desperately as I saw how his face turned blank after that scream. “It’s Mommy. Tell me what’s happening. Tell me what’s going on!”

“Mom, it’s the walls!” Diana cried and then pointed at the walls of the cabin.

At first, I thought I was just imagining it.

The walls rippled like water. Like a mirage of images that moved and slowly dissolved into thin air, revealing the skeletons that piled as the wall of the cabin, wearing the bracelets that I once saw somewhere, on someone...

Killian knocked the side table, and it made a thud on the floor as it fell sideways. Yellow envelopes burst out of the small drawer, drawing my attention away from the terrifying bones on display before us. I frowned when I recognized the penmanship on one of the letters. There was no way I would be mistaken! It was Lena’s handwriting!

“What are those doing here?!” I snarled as I glared at the letters with wide eyes. Killian snatched one of them and handed it to me with a pale face. His dark and grave eyes looked at me as if he also couldn’t believe what was happening. The skeletons in front of us started to rattle in front of us—the jaws of the skulls moved as if they were all laughing at us. The clanking of chains underneath the floor turned louder and louder, as if someone below was whipping it against something, and my body tensed, wondering what kind of monster was hiding underneath the hatch.

And we couldn’t get out. I glanced at my unconscious husband, worried for our lives.

We managed to escape the beasts and traps in the underground cave.

But here, I was scared we wouldn’t make it all out alive...

“When you see this cabin, this letter, it means I failed,” I murmured as I read the letter with a trembling hand and raspy breath. “The Wolf Tomb in the black forest is not the end but the beginning...”

“Another f*cking riddle!” Killian blurted in anger.

I was about to drop the letter, but then I noticed the gold stamp with a broken Moon Wolf Seal on it. I couldn’t remember the last time I had seen that same stamp, and if I am not mistaken, it was the same Seal that I had seen when I dreamed of my twins before I gave birth to them. I wasn’t sure what those stood for and what pack they came from. Lena had so many connections that I wasn’t sure where these things came from anymore.

“The keys...”

Diana immediately ran towards her Dad and cried, checking if he was alright. Devon stayed baffled at my side, though, and froze as we watched his father mutter something under his breath, still unconscious but talking in his coma.

“Dad! Dad, wake up, please!” Diana cried, terrified at what was happening. It was only Dominic who could calm her every time she was having a terrifying episode. “Please, you have to wake up!”

“Diana!” I grabbed her and she wrapped her arms around my neck, crying for her Dad. “Dad will be okay; something just happened, but he will be okay.”

Dominic kept on repeating the words—key and crown. I wasn’t sure what he meant about it. Something must have happened to him, causing him to mutter the words. I knew my husband was fighting whatever it was. I knew he would come back to us! I couldn’t help but feel shattered as I saw how the beads of sweat formed on his forehead; his skin was pale and cold to the touch. Like he was slipping away...

“This is a trap,” I said to Killian as I looked at him with glaring eyes, my teeth clenching as I carried Diana in my arms and Devon still clinging to my side. “Our enemies must have known we are here! The scent—Olivia’s scent—cannot possibly belong to her! She’s already dead!”

“Then how are we going to get out of this place!?” Devon yelled to hear his little voice above the noise inside. “We can’t go! There are no doors or windows, and a wall of bones surrounds us!”

“Who do you think did this?” Killian asked, as he also thought of a way we could get out of this place, which was once a cabin but is now a cage made of human and werewolf bones.

“Only the Fang Trinity can do this kind of trick!” I snarled as I pressed Diana and Devon closer to me. The mirage of illusion was finally taken down, revealing the cage we were in as the skeletons formed into spiky prison bars. “They know we were in the underground cave and prepared this thing for us, knowing the first thing we will find is shelter after what happened in the ancient library.”

“Is that mean we’re f*cked?” Killian asked me, not caring anymore if Diana and Deovn could hear him swearing. We were in a dire situation. In a cage where enemies could kill us like easy prey.

“Yeah,” I answered, biting my lower lip hard, my eyes were stinging from tears as I looked down at Devon and then at my husband, who was still unconscious on the floor, whispering about the key and the ground. “We’re all f*cked.” I answered in my darkest tone, my heart hammering in my chest as I embraced my twins.
