Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 177

[ALPHA KILLIAN’s Point of View]

I tried. I tried my very best.

All in my head, I need to protect Samantha. Keep her and the kids alive. I wasn’t doing this for her because I still had feelings for her. Indeed, my feelings for this woman might not fade away in a few months or a year. But the Moon Goddess had a different plan for me, and that’s when I met Brianne.

My reason for coming to this place with them was genuine. It was true when I told Sam that I only came here for my mate. But it is also true that I still cared for her and worried for their safety. I knew something would happen. I knew deep within me that they would need my help eventually. And I was right. I sensed that Sam and Dominic had something between them that I couldn’t explain. Doubts? Hesitations? Something was holding them back from each other. Whatever it was, it made them look weak in the eyes of their enemies, and they weren’t even aware of it.

I expected a lot more from the Alpha of the Silver Crescent Pack. I knew Dominic as a powerful, cautious man. Many in this region, including several large organizations, feared him. Yet, after what he did to Sam, so many things changed. He turned weak. He became uncertain of the things he had been doing. That arrogant, unmerciful Alpha everyone knew turned soft. And that led to the downfall of Silver Crescent.

This made me feel bad for Sam. Dominic’s confusion about his feelings for Samantha caused his mate a great deal of heartache and chaos. And I admired that despite it, Samantha remained by his side, which I thought was probably about the children, but still, it would take a lot of patience and love to choose someone like Dominic.

To be honest, I felt a significant blow to my ego when she left the Moonstone pack, especially since she was aware that her life was much better there. I guess I just wasn’t the right guy for her. She was destined for him. And that was something I couldn’t break just to have her back. The mate bond is like an invisible chain that connects two souls into one. It was something that no one could destroy; even the most powerful witch in history couldn’t do it.

I knew this time would come. The time when I wouldn’t be able to hide it from Samantha anymore. At first, I thought no one would be suspicious about my newfound strength after Sam healed me with her blood. But it wasn’t just an ordinary healing that her blood did to me. It did something sinister to me. Something that I never thought I would ever experience. It evolved something in me. Transformed me into a more powerful Alpha, possessing three times the strength that an Alpha should possess.

This wasn’t normal, and I knew Samantha had done something to me. The nightmares, the evil thoughts that kept whispering in me. The way I sense evil and dark vibrations around me, faster than any werewolf could. As if these things were calling me. Luring me to them like they were now part of me, and I was part of them as well. It was maddening because I never wanted any of it. That pushing these feelings and thoughts away felt like a massive torture to me, making me almost want to give up. But Brianne reminded me I couldn’t let these evil thoughts win against me. So I had to do it. I had to endure all of it and make sure Samantha and the twins could survive.

If something happened to me, everything would be up to Dominic. And I couldn’t even trust this bastard if he could really protect Sam and the twins.

Hearing Diana after these dark feelings slipped into me and seeing how my eyes glowed faint purple under the darkness felt like a thousand knives stabbing me in the chest. And that terrified look on Samantha’s face was more unbearable than I thought it would be. I never wanted them to fear me. But how are they going to trust me now that they know I wasn’t the man they knew I was?

That I was now one of the monsters they were so afraid of?

“What is this, Killian? What happened to you?!” Samantha’s eyes were full of dread as she looked at me while carrying Diana in her arms, pressing her daughter against her as she trembled. “What happened! What are you!?”

“Something happened, but it is no time to explain—”

“TELL ME, D*MNIT!”

I turned away from her, not able to look her in the eyes. How could I tell her it happened after she healed me with her blood? That her blood do this to me? I knew Samantha. It would f*cking break her, and she would blame herself for everything. No way I would let that happen, though. She never deserved it. It wasn’t as if she wanted this to happen to me.

“We have no time, Samantha! I have to lure these enemies away and find a safe place where you, Dominic, and the children can hide! It’s not safe here anymore!”

“NO!” She put Diana down carefully as she bared her teeth at me, her eyes were sharp and deadly. “Tell me how you became like this, Killian!” Her eyes were red with tears as she tried to suppress herself from crying. “Who did this to you!?”

F*ck. I have to go away from here.

I couldn’t think of any response, though, so I just smirked as evily as I could and then turned around so Samantha could see me directly in the eyes.

“Are you that scared that I, too, will become a monster?” I said in a hoarse voice as I glared at her. “I had already become one when you left the Moonstone Pack, Samantha.”

I saw how all the colors on her face drained, and how Diana and Devon’s faces looked horrified as they stared at me with both grief and fear. Like I was already dead in their eyes.

It honestly felt like a punch in the gut.

“Bring them all to safety!” I snarled at her and then shifted into my werewolf form and ran, luring all the beasts and shadow werewolves in my direction.
