Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna

Chapter 184: Chapter 184

[SAMANTHA’S Point of View]

I let the kids get busy taking care of the pup. Maybe they needed it. They needed a distraction from the issue that I and their father should be handling without involving them. That idea was like a sledgehammer on my chest. I wish we hadn’t brought Diana and Devon into that underground cave.

I wish we didn’t go there. Because for what!? We failed to find the Wolf Tomb. We failed to locate the dead body of my mother. Or if she was dead indeed. I wasn’t sure anymore of what was happening. Yet, I couldn’t deny the fact that we learned a lot from that little dangerous adventure. We learned that Olivia still existed, and she still posed a huge threat to us and the whole Silver Crescent pack. I just wasn’t sure if my husband told his Beta about what happened to Olivia, and if the council would even believe everything we saw.

And Killian. The MoonStone Alpha. I had no idea how I would be able to look Brianne in the eyes and tell her that her mate was as good as dead after what I witnessed. He wasn’t the same anymore. The darkness of the Black Forest had completely devoured him, making him into a totally different werewolf. And I wasn’t sure if we could still bring him back to his old self, to the same man who was always there for me when I needed him.

The living room was filled with Devon’s and Diana’s laughter as Madison and Cynthia helped them feed the new member of the family. I stared at the cub, and I was surprised that it stared back at me as well with its light blue eyes. I wasn’t sure, but there was something about the animal. Like I had seen it before and it knew me, yet I couldn’t remember where I’d seen it or if I really had seen it somewhere else.

Or maybe I was this one ball of paranoia again.

I decided I needed to check on Dominic to know the progress of his investigation and research about his father’s involvement in the purple eyes shadow werewolves, and how Olivia knew about them. I thought it was only Lena who was hiding secrets among the people of Silver Crescent, but apparently, it ran through Dominic’s family, having their own dark and personal agendas.

Happy that the kids were enjoying their new pet, I went straight to my room to get my phone. I remember the last time I used it, I put it on the bedside table—

“Hello, Sam.”

My eyes widened as I recognized that voice. All the hairs on my nape stand, creating goosebumps on my skin as his spine-chilling voice reverberates in my ears as if it came from the depths of the ground.

Terrified and wary, I turned around sharply, hoping I was wrong. But I wasn’t. He was here, discreet and cautious as he gently pushed the door closed. All of a sudden, the whole room was filled with this dark aura, like a small dome that trapped me inside with him.

“Killian!” I thought all the strength in me slowly depleted as I saw him standing in front of me. His face was dark. His eyes glowed purple, and the channels of veins all around his body glowed in the same way his eyes did. He was wearing a clean, white shirt that was too tight for him; it accentuated how bulging his muscles were.

“What are you doing here, Killian!” I hissed at him while he stared at my pale, terrified face. “How did you get here without being detected?! Without me noticing your presence!? How did you do that?!”

“What do you mean, Sam?” he smirked as he stepped forward but stopped when I flinched from him. The smirk on his face disappeared as he watched me crouch, ready to fight if he ever did something that would force me to retaliate. His eyes darkened as he glared at me. “Don’t do that. You look like a cornered little cat.”

The fact that Killian managed to enter Silver Crescent undetected was quite unsettling. If he did it so easily, it also meant that Olivia could do it as well! I had to tell Dominic so he would know that our enemies could go in and out of his turf using their dark powers! I had to warn my husband!

I snatched my phone from the bedside table and dialed Dominic’s number. But before it could ring, Killian had already grabbed my wrist and taken the phone away from me. I watched in fear as he stomped on it, crushing it with the sole of his boot.

“What do you think you’re doing, Sam?” Killian pulled me towards him, his face an inch from mine as he glared and hissed at me. His eyes were swirling clouds of purple as I gazed at them. My eyes were dilated with horror while I was petrified of him.

“Let me go, Killian! You can’t kill me here. My children still need me!” My lips quivered as I tried to push him away with all my strength, but he was still stronger than me, and I was helpless. “Please, I am the only one who can protect them from Olivia!”

“Who says I am going to kill you?” he whispered as his eyes went from my eyes to my lips, which confused me. He had a mate. Why was he acting as if he was going to kiss me?!

“W-What do you mean—”

“I am here to tell you that I have been investigating Richard Bennette’s theories about the origin of the dark power in the Black Forest. And I need you to listen to me because this is important and we don’t have much time!”

I frowned, confused about what Killian was trying to say, but it seemed it was about Olivia and her dark forces that he wanted to tell me. “Why are you doing this? I thought... I thought you were one of them?”

He gave me an annoyed look and scowled as he dragged his fingers through his dark, unruly hair. “I know you would think of that. But believe what you want to believe, Sam. I just want to tell you this. I want you and the kids to survive this. I am not letting the three of you die.”

“You know I don’t trust you, Killian,” I said straight to his face as I glared at him. You brought us to Olivia. We almost died there!”

“Only you didn’t.” He let out a deep sigh as he stepped away from me; his hands were both on the level of his head in surrender, as if telling me he didn’t have the intention to hurt me. “I can’t do that to you, and you know that.”

I scoffed at him, furious that he thought I was that easy to manipulate. “Stop playing around, Killian. You can’t make me believe you again!”

His face turned serious as he stared straight into my eyes with full sincerity. “I am here to help.”

I swallowed a lump in my throat, confused if I should trust my instinct to believe Killian or scream at the top of my lungs and tell him to leave.
