Chapter 180: Chapter 180

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“Dominic!”

“No! We are going out of here together!”

“We don’t have enough time for this!” I snarled at him, frustrated that he was being so stubborn again. “You have to get the kids out before this well caves in on us all!”

Dominic’s face darkened as he approached me with both of his arms, carrying Devon and Diana on each of his sides. His eyes went crimson, and his jaw tightened as he glared at me, using his Alpha command tone with his nerves appearing on the side of his forehead. “You get on my back, Samantha!”

My eyes widened a bit as I felt that pressure on my shoulders, the power of the Alpha’s words that demanded I obey him. Never, not even once, did Dominic do it to me, and it intimidated me a bit as I silently stepped behind him, wrapping my arms around his shoulder.

“Good girl,” he purred under his breath, and Devon and Diana looked at me, Diana having a wide grin on her face and Devon making an irritated sound with his eyes rolling.

Diana’s teasing grin made my face hot and flushed, and I had to suppress myself not to smack Dominic’s head in front of the children as I felt his shoulder shake as if he were stopping himself from laughing.

How dare he laugh at times like this?!

When we all looked up, we found out that we were already surrounded by the shadow werewolves, waiting for us to emerge outside the well. All were glaring at us with their glowing purple eyes, fangs bared, drooling to kill us with their teeth and razor-sharp claws.

“Are we going to die here?” Devon trembled as he buried his face on his father’s shoulder, his hand holding Diana’s hand.

“No one is going to die here, son.” Dominic snarled as he bared his teeth back to the enemies waiting for us at the entrance of the well. “I won’t let them hurt any of you.”

The tone of Dominic’s voice made my heart flutter. Yes. Something indeed changed in him. Something that made the bond stronger than it ever was. I felt the assurance in his voice as I felt the muscles in his back tighten, his knees bending into a crouch, ready to lunge us all up out of the collapsing well.

“Do you think you can get out of here—”

Before Olivia’s phantom shadow reached me, almost grabbing me by the hair, Dominic had already jumped skyward, lifting all of us thirty feet above the dry well. I looked down and all the shadow werewolves glared, waiting for us to land with their claws ready to shred us into ribbons.

[How many?] Dominic asked me through our bond while we were in midair.

[Thirty—No. Forty. There are forty of them down there.] I answered, my eyes swiftly counting and calculating how we were going to fight all of them while making sure the children were safe and unharmed.

[You want to stay with the kids or you want to have some fun too?] I felt Dominic’s grin in my head, and I couldn’t help but smile as well. We had fought these werewolves before. We knew their strengths and weaknesses. We could beat them, especially with my newly awakened strength.

[You can leave some for me.] I answered my husband, smirking as we started going down, and my husband decided to land in the middle of the shadow werewolves, ready to shift into his wolf form. I, on the other hand, pulled Diana and Devon from him, making sure the three of us would safely land underneath my husband’s giant silver wolf form.

“Mom!!!” Devon grabbed me by the neck. I grabbed Diana by my side as Dominic let go of us. I saw how beautifully he shifted to his wolf form, and even Devon, who hated his dad, couldn’t hide the astonishment on his little face. I saw how his eyes lit up, admiring that gigantic silver wolf above us, scaring the shadow werewolves that surrounded the spot where we landed. I could tell how Devon wanted to be like his father even without him telling me.

[Get them all!]

It was Dominic’s cue to attack. He raked the ones who were in front of us with his teeth. I, on the other hand, shifted into my wolf form, causing all those who stepped towards me to hesitate when they saw the reddish hue on my fur, which was strong proof that I indeed came from the line of the Primordial Bloodline. Dominic looked back at us, checking for me and the kids, and when I gave him a short nod, telling him that I could handle it, it brought back his confidence that he could finish all the enemies around us without anything or anyone holding him back.

[Devon, Diana, stay close to me!]

My twins did as I told them. Devon was very protective of his twin sister while I drove away or killed anyone who tried to jump towards me and the kids. My mouth and the fur on my chest were soaked with bitter, disgusting ichor from the beasts. I glanced for my husband, checking if he could handle that number of hordes around him, and I saw how he jumped from one shadow werewolf to another, tearing limbs, biting off heads, or cutting their throats open.

Diana covered her face with her hands, but Devon watched. He observed his father as Dominic fought the enemies, killed them with a single slash of his claws, and tore them apart with his razor-sharp teeth. Shadow wolves got alarmed when their numbers started to dwindle and so the rest of them started running towards my mate, attacking to stop him instead. Devon looked at his father with worry, and that’s when I went to my husband to help him finish off what was left of them.

Then I noticed some familiar marks on the chests of the shadow wolves that surrounded my husband. These wolves were bigger and stronger than the ones that had no marks on them, which made me curious after seeing that anxious look on my husband’s face.

[What’s the matter?] I asked him as I saw how he hesitated to attack any of them. Did he know these wolves? I looked at them, and I saw the crests of Dominic’s clan on them. But that would be so impossible!!! This group of soldiers died and was annihilated after fighting in a war a long time ago. I saw their pictures once in the library of Silver Crescent when I was a soldier in training, and the librarian told me that they were Dominic’s father’s Elite group of soldiers who were assigned to guard Dominic’s family.

[Dominic, they are dead! They are not the same people you knew!] I yelled at my husband through our matebond.

I couldn’t read what was in Dominic’s head. That’s the disadvantage when you have an Alpha as a mate. Alphas can shut their minds from the others, even from their Lunas, and that’s the most annoying thing I hate about Dominic. Shutting me off from his head.

But I was surprised when he answered me in a calm manner. [I know, love. I just hate the fact that they use them against me, thinking it will hurt me.] he snarled softly while glaring at the five giant wolves that surrounded us. [It makes me angry that they can’t even give these poor men the peace they deserve after dying while doing their duty for my family.]

Even after Dominic told me that he wasn’t worried about being hurt after seeing these wolves, I could tell that he was just trying to hide the pain and not wanting to give Olivia the pleasure of seeing him broken in front of these old guards. Diana and Devon remained close beside me and their dad, studying the situation. Both of them were warily staring at Olivia’s phantom standing behind the giant werewolves.

“This is just the beginning, fools!”

Olivia’s phantom shadow raised her hands, and that’s when another pack of forty shadow werewolves emerged from the shadows everywhere. They started walking towards us, surrounding us again with lethal glares.

My heart and mind started to panic. [How are we going to fight all of these werewolves, Dominic, if Olivia can summon them from the shadows around us! This is impossible!]

Dominic didn’t answer. A snarl ripped from Dominic’s throat as he glared at the old guards who began to approach my husband, poised to attack at any moment. Dominic crouched into his fighting stance, making sure I and the children were safe behind him. We were cornered! It was a trap from the very start!

[We have to go, Dominic! We can’t fight all of them! Olivia will only summon them again from the shadows! It will be an endless fight! We can’t risk staying here! The kids’ lives will be in danger!] I said in panic to my husband, and he looked at me and understood that we needed to get away; we couldn’t use all our energy and strength to fight them and let these shadow monsters overwhelm us in the end.

“Do you think I will let all of you get away from here, Samantha? Dominic!? You will all die in here!” Olivia’s demonic voice echoed in my head as she raised her hands again and another pack of forty shadow werewolves emerged. “I won’t let you get out of Black Forest alive!”

But suddenly, a golden light emerged, dispelling the thick fog and causing Olivia’s phantom shadow to scream in agony. To our surprise, we all saw Killian holding a thing that glowed so brightly I had to squint just to see him and what he was holding. It repelled the demon shadows, destroying them as the light spread in the area.

A pendant. Could it be—

“Uncle Killian!!!” Devon and Diana screamed with joy after seeing him, which made Dominic a little annoyed and wary after seeing those purple eyes Killian had. He stepped up and hid the kids behind him, not trusting Killian even after the Moonstone Alpha saved us.

[Whose side are you on?!] Dominic snarled at Killian with a cold look of distrust in his face.

[I am not here for you, don’t worry,] Killian raised an eyebrow at Dominic. He looked at me and then the kids with a smile but then winced. That’s when I noticed he was hurt. Purple-black blood—an ichor—oozed from his arm and trickled down his fingers.

[We shouldn’t waste any more time now,] Killian grunted after repelling all the shadow werewolves with the light. [I found the tomb and you have to follow me to it!]
