Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Samantha’s POV

When I heard Dominic’s news about my kids, for a second, I thought I had misheard him. Surely, he had not just said Olivia’s house. Not that Olivia, the conniving snake who had slithered her way into every aspect of Dominic’s life and made it her mission to meddle in mine. But his grim expression left no room for doubt.

“What did you just say?” My voice was shaking, though not with fear.

“The twins are at Olivia’s house,” he repeated.

Something snapped inside me. The heat of my fury surged through my veins, and my hands clenched into fists as my mind raced. Olivia? Olivia had my children? What possible reason could she have for taking them, what possible excuse?

“What the hell is she doing with my children?” I shouted. “Why are they there, Dominic? Why would she take them?”

“I don’t know,” Dominic said, but I did not miss the tension in his jaw or the way his hands curled into fists at his sides. “But we’re going there now.”

“That conniving, manipulative bitch!” I screamed, slamming my hands against the car.  “I swear, if she’s hurt them, I will kill her instant. ”

“She won’t hurt them,” he interrupted, as if he was so sure of it. “But we need to go now. Get in the car.”

I got more annoyed at how nonchalant he was, that it was his mistress who took my children. And I hated even more that I wanted to blame him, for having relationship with Olivia, because now, she had dared to touch my kids.

But how did she know? How the hell did she find our house and learn about the twins?

“We will deal with Olivia after we get the twins. Right now, they’re all that matters,” Dominic said and I only glanced at him for a second, my mind swirling with the possibilities. Did he tell her about them? Or had she been snooping in his office and found the initial investigation Dominic had conducted about the twins?

I should have tightened the security around the kids, but I never thought she would come after them when in the first place I have not been meddling with her life. I even left Dominic for her own, and yet she had the audacity to come for my twins.

Every second felt like an eternity as we drove to Olivia’s house. My mind was spinning with terrible possibilities, every worst case scenario flashing before my eyes. What if she had hurt them? What if—

I clenched my fists, trying to steady my breathing. No. I would not let myself spiral. They were fine. They had to be fine.

When we arrived, I did not wait for Dominic to say anything. I was out of the car and at Olivia’s door in an instant, pounding on it with all the strength I had.

“Olivia!” I shouted, trembling with rage as I pounded at the door. “Open this damn door! I know you’re in there!”

Dominic was behind me, his hand hovering near my shoulder, but I shrugged him off. This was my fight, my children. He could stand back and watch for all I cared.

The door opened, and there she stood, her perfect facade cracking for a moment before that smug smile returned to her face.

“Samantha,” Olivia said sweetly, but I could still see the fake sincerity on her face. This woman could never leave me in peace. I already ran away years ago so I could have peace, and yet, she still had to find her way back in to ruin it. “What a surprise. I didn’t expect—”

Her words were cut off as my fist collided with her jaw. The satisfying crack of my knuckles against her skin somehow soothed my frayed nerves, though it was not nearly enough to quench my fury. I wanted t do more, to claw her face, to rip her throat, and to feed her body to vultures.

“Cut the crap,” I snapped, stepping closer to her. “Where are my children?”

She stumbled back, holding her jaw as she stared at me with wide eyes. She had the audacity to glance at Dominic as if expecting him to intervene, but he stayed silent. Good. Or else I would think he was involved in this.

“They’re safe,” Olivia said finally, and she was losing some of her composure. I did not know what was running in her mind, or what she was planning. What else did she want from me? She had already once ruined my life!

“Safe?” I repeated. “You kidnapped them! What the hell were you thinking?”

“I did not kidnap them,” Olivia retorted, straightening herself as she crossed her arms. “I was protecting them.”

I let out a bitter laugh. “Protecting them? You had no right! No right to take them from me!”

“I had every right,” Olivia snapped, and my anger bubbled to the surface, I breathed exasperatedly what she was talking about. What right she was claiming when those were my kids! This is ridiculous. “Do you even realize what kind of danger they’re in? I was doing what you couldn’t, keeping them safe,” she reason still and I groaned in my chest, trying to calm down because I would not want my kids to see any bloodbath in the doorway.

I argued with her for another minute until Dominic stepped in between us, demanding Olivia where the kids were.

Olivia hesitated, her eyes darting between the two of us before she finally stepped aside, and my eyes did not miss the nervousness that flashed briefly in her eyes when she glanced at Dominic who was furious.

“They’re inside,” she replied, meekly at her Alpha.

I did not wait for further permission anymore as I pushed past her, and immediately I searched for them inside. And there they were, sitting on the couch, their faces lighting up the moment they saw me.

“Mommy!” Diana cried, running to me.

Devon followed, quieter but just as relieved, burying his face in my shoulder as I pulled them both into a tight hug.

But the moment of relief was short-lived. I turned back to Olivia, “Why did you take my kids? What the hell were you planning, Olivia?” I snarled.

“I was looking out for them,” Olivia replied, defensively. But such an answer was unreasonable. My twins were completely safe at home, but she went to take them.

“If you ever come near my children again,” I threatened her. “I will make you regret it.”

Her lips parted to respond, but her father came from the west wing of their house.

“What’s going on here?” his voice boomed in the large room, as if we were intruders in his house. But when he saw Dominic behind me, his stern expression became more subdued. However, the stern look on his face and the glare he pointed at me showed that I was not welcome in the place. He was one of the high ranking officials in the Silver Crescent Pack, and I had always known that he did not like me, even when I was still a Luna in this pack. No wonder, he had tolerated his daughter’s actions, and her status as the Alpha’s mistress, just to keep his position.
