Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Chapter 49

Samantha’s POV

The knock on the door was unexpected, especially at this hour. I had just put the twins back to bed after they were woken up by the thunder. Devon had fallen back asleep almost immediately, but Diana kept her eyes on me, as if watching for any sign of trouble, I assured her and handed her the wolf stuffed toy before I kissed her forehead and promised her everything was fine.

“Dominic? What are you doing here?” I asked, barely masking my surprise as I opened the door to find him standing there, looking as though he had just walked out of a war zone. His shirt was wrinkled, his jaw tight, and his eyes carried the kind of intensity that made my pulse quicken.

He did not answer right away, his gaze flicking behind me before settling on my face. “We need to talk. Now.”

“It’s barely dawn,” I countered, glancing over my shoulder to check if the twins were still asleep. “This could not wait?”

“No,” he replied firmly, stepping past me into the house without waiting for an invitation. “It couldn’t.”

I nodded reluctantly and stepped aside. Dominic walked in, glancing around as if looking for something that I could only guess was the twins.

I closed the door and turned to face him. He paced the living room like a caged animal, his hands running through his hair as though trying to find the right words. Whatever brought him here, it was not good.

“Dominic,” I started, crossing my arms. “What is this about? If it is about the children—”

"Richard Bennett is playing games," Dominic remarked which surprised me.  "And this time, he is not just targeting me, he is targeting you and the twins."

My stomach twisted. The mere mention of Richard’s name sent a chill down my spine. I never fully understood that man, but I always had a bad feeling being around him before. "What do you mean by targeting us?" I asked.

"He’s made threats," Dominic continued, running a hand through his hair. "Not directly, of course. The man’s too slippery for that. But his intentions are clear. He sees you and the twins as leverage against me, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants."

Leverage. The word felt like a noose tightening around my neck. "I knew he was dangerous, but I did not think he would go this far."

Dominic’s gaze softened, but his voice remained firm. "I will not let him hurt you, Samantha. Or the twins. But I need you to trust me on this."

I frowned, crossing my arms over my chest. "And what exactly is ‘this’?"

Dominic’s eyes locked onto mine. "You need to come back to the Silver Crescent Pack with me."

The words hit me like a thunderclap. "No," I instantly answered, shaking my head. "That is not an option. Dominic, Olivia is still there. And Richard, he will be even closer to us if I am in your pack. How is that safer?"

Dominic stepped closer, his towering presence both intimidating and grounding. "I have already taken steps to keep Olivia in check. She will not come near you or the twins. And as for Richard, he will not try anything while you and the twins are under the protection of the pack. But here, out here, just you and the twins, he might do something, and I can’t let that happen."

"But what about the past, Dominic?" My voice cracked as I tried to hold back the wave of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. "Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to leave that pack? To leave you? Going back... it is like walking into a nightmare."

Dominic’s expression softened. "I am not the same man you left behind, Samantha. And I am not asking you to trust me blindly. But this is not just about us anymore. It is about Devon and Diana. They need to be safe. And the only place I can guarantee that is with me."

My chest tightened knowing that he was right, as much as I hated to admit it. But the thought of stepping back into that world, of facing the ghosts of my past, was almost too much to bear. And I could not let my children go back to that place and cause them the same nightmare I had been. Olivia was still around and clinging onto Dominic, I would not want my twins to be witnessing that, I would not want to put them in the same pain I had been in the past years.

"I can’t," I whispered. "Anything but that."

Dominic sighed, running a hand through his hair as he paced in front of me. "If there was another way, I would take it. But there isn’t. Richard is a threat, and he is not going to stop. The only way to protect you and the twins is to bring you back to my pack."

He stopped pacing and turned to face me fully. "And there is something else I need to ask of you."

I frowned, confused by the sudden shift in his tone. "What is it?"

Dominic took a deep breath, as if steadying himself. "If you come back, I need you to consider becoming my Luna."

My breath caught, and the room seemed to tilt slightly. "Your Luna?" I repeated in disbelief.

"Yes. It is not just about protection, Samantha. The pack needs stability, and so do you. If you are going to be part of the Silver Crescent Pack again, you can’t just be there as a mother or someone I am trying to protect. You need to have a role, a position of power. As my Luna, no one, not Richard, not Olivia, would dare challenge you or your place."

Part of me wanted to scream at him, to tell him this was not fair. That he could not just waltz back into my life and expect me to fall in line.

But another part of me, a smaller, quieter part, knew he was right. The twins’ safety came first. Always.

"I... I don’t know," I stammered, unable to meet his gaze. "This is too much, Dominic. I need time to think."

His eyes softened, but his determination did not waver. "I understand. But just know that I will do whatever it takes to keep you and the twins safe. And I need you to trust me again."
