Chapter 71: Chapter 71

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

My head was still foggy, and I thought I had heard the doctor say something like a primordial thing.

My frown deepened as I narrowed my eyes at the head healer. He stood in front of us at the height of Killian’s shoulder with a frantic look. It was as if he had never seen anything like this before, and it scared him—no, more like terrified and amazed at the same time.

“What are you talking about, Ned?” Even Killian got confused about what was happening. “She’s not feeling well, so I carried her here. What are you talking about, primordial—a-are you serious about what you are talking about?”

Even the healer seemed so agitated by what he had discovered that his fingers began to tremble. Looking at his reaction made me scared of what that really meant, so I looked at Killian with panic in my eyes. Killian saw the terror in me and put his hand on my back gently, trying to calm the perturbation in me.

“I will explain this to you later,” Killian whispered as he gestured for the doctor to talk outside the clinic. I wanted to tell him I needed to go, but the severity of the situation frightened me based on the terror that I saw on the healer’s face. It was something I never expected. I was just having a strange in-heat experience because I finally chose my mate, but what was it that was happening?

Seeing Killian talking to the doctor outside, looking so calm and collected, somehow pacified the fear in me. I couldn’t remember much of what happened, but I was thankful Killian came back to check on me before something happened to me in my office.

For a mated she-wolf, this in-heat experience was nothing new to me. But it had been six years since I denied my connection with Dominic and ran away pregnant from the Silver Crescent pack and since then, I had never experienced these feelings again. Only when I started accepting Dominic in my life did it come back and suddenly, I didn’t know what to do.

“What’s happening, Killian?” I asked when I heard the wooden door creak, and he entered the clinic while massaging the space between his eyes. He seemed distressed. But I wasn’t sure if it was about what he found out about my blood or if it was because of me choosing Dominic over him.

“I am not really sure what it means, Samantha,” he answered me with honest confusion and sat on the edge of the bed with an exhausted face. He sighed and then uttered softly, “You know you are like a box. Always full of surprises,” he smiled weakly.

“Is it bad?” I asked him with innocence and he chuckled while looking at the other side of the room and then at me.

“Primordial means you came from an ancient bloodline that first dominated these lands before other clans came here.” Killian started explaining as he stared into my eyes with such longing. I felt a lump in my throat but refused to lower my gaze because I would rather not hurt his feelings again. “Many believe that this bloodline has disappeared for centuries, but a few percent believe that some clans inherited their abilities after some of these powerful beings wed with women from the other clans. And finding that amazing component in your blood means you are from this bloodline, Samantha—you are a royalty among the shifters in this continent.

I didn’t know what to say. It sounded ridiculous to me because I didn’t come from a very powerful family but from an average one. Lena arranged my marriage with Dominic because my mother had been a lifelong friend of hers. “There is nothing special about me,” I murmured to him, smiling awkwardly. “I already told you the kind of family I came from and there’s nothing exceptional with my clan. I was wolfless before I had my twins—”

“That’s not true, Sam.” Killian’s voice was solemn and I saw his hand inches from mine, wanting to hold me. “You are always special to me and you know that. From the very first day you came into my pack, I knew there was something in you that made me believe you were meant for something huge. There is something amazing in you I couldn’t explain.”

I pretended to shift on the bed and finally averted my eyes from him as I pulled my hand away from him. Despite that awkward feeling, Killian held on to his patience and just raised an eyebrow at me and smiled, wanting to make the tension between us a little lighter.

Maybe that’s one thing about him that made me feel comfortable with our friendship for so many years.

“I am not sure what to feel about the primordial bloodline thing. I have never heard my parents mention this to me.” I frowned worriedly, mostly because of my twins. “Or maybe they did but I couldn’t just remember.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Killian answered quietly while still staring into my eyes. “I am not sure about this, Samantha. All I know is that you should keep it a secret from everyone, while you have no idea how this truth is going to impact you and the twins’ lives. I’ve heard that these powerful beings are living somewhere on this continent, but their existence is a huge secret. I already discussed everything with the head healer and he swore to me he is not going to tell anyone about what he found out here.”

“Can we trust him?” I asked him, scared of what this primordial bloodline meant to me and my children. “I am not sure what is going on, but I am starting to feel scared about it,” I admitted to him.

Killian turned to face me. In his eyes, I saw the sincerity and longing that brought guilt into me.

“I told you. As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone or anything harm you and the twins, Samantha.” His voice was hoarse but gentle. His mesmerizing green eyes melted something in me that I couldn’t explain, which I shouldn’t feel because I had already chosen between the two of them, and I would never allow myself to be confused and hurt Killian again and again because I was a f*cking coward who couldn’t decide.

The desperation on his face made a twisting feeling in my stomach. “I know you believe Dominic is the right guy for you, Samantha. But why can’t we try? Let’s try it, and I will do everything to make you and the twins happy. I proved myself so many times already and you know how I cherish—” He shook his head, seemingly unable to find the right words to express his feelings. “No. How much I love you, Sam. Goddess, you have no idea how this is killing me. To watch you and Dominic together when I had already imagined a life with you and the kids.”

I bit my lower lip hard as tears started to glimmer on the edge of my eyes.

“I thank you for everything you did for me, Killian.” In gratitude, I smiled and held his hand, which he wanted but couldn’t out of respect. Killian looked at our hands and then into my eyes again, and I saw how his face was filled with pain, knowing that there’s nothing that can change my mind anymore. “But I am happy with my decision. Dominic is my mate, and no matter how many times I try to resist him, you know it is impossible for me to do that. I belong to him. Just like how the Moon Goddess brought us together and made Dominic realize my real worth in his life.”

Killian was silent for a minute as his eyes lingered on the floor full of thoughts. And then there’s sudden anguish in his eyes, which I already expected because he still wasn’t giving up despite everything I explained to him. “You are not sure yet what Dominic wants from you, Samantha. For six years, he didn’t look for you or check what happened to you after you disappeared from the Silver Crescent pack. For six years, he never cared. And now he saw you somewhere and then suddenly thinks you’re still his? I can’t believe you are doing this to yourself.”

His voice was filled with disappointment, which I understood because he was right. I was sure anyone who knows me and Dominic would think I was crazy enough to go back to the father of my twins. But what they didn’t know is that I believe that Dominic indeed changed. He chose to change for me, and that was enough to prove that his desire to bring me back to his life was more powerful than his ego.

“You don’t understand it, Killian. But this is what I need for now.” I told him as gently as I could as I watched him break into pieces. “I never want to hurt you but please... I need you to know that me and the kids are moving to Silver Crescent Pack as soon as Dominic and I decide a date to settle in.”

Killian’s eyes widened, devastated at what he heard. I thought he would throw the bedside cabinet on the other side of the room, but he stood and startled me with that cold, angry look as I watched him walk out of the clinic room and smalled the door behind him.
