Chapter 72: Chapter 72

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

After the embarrassing and awful things happened in the Moonstone Pack office, I didn’t see or hear from Killian again. It was as if he was avoiding me since I told him my decision, and I couldn’t blame him if he refused to see me again after the conversation we had in the clinic.

To give him some time, I requested a two-day leave from the management, explaining that I needed to spend a bit more time with the kids after working tirelessly for a week on a successful project that benefited the pack. Killian knew I always gave my best when it came to my work, and whenever I needed some time to recuperate and rest, I didn’t have to go straight to him and ask for his approval.

This time it was different, though. It was difficult to choose Dominic without hurting KilliKillian, but I had no other options. I couldn’t lie to myself anymore. If I didn’t do something to fix this, we would only hurt each other, and I didn’t want Killian to hate me.

He was still important to me after all the years we spent together nurturing the kids. He was Devon and Diana’s acting father when things got overwhelming for me as a mother, and I was grateful for him for caring for my kids even though they weren’t his.

“Mom, I thought you were at work." Devon was surprised to see me cleaning the kitchen when he, Annie, and Diana came from school. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

It was unusual for the kids to see me at home on a regular day, so I smiled and bent down to Devon’s eye level and patted his unruly dark hair. “Mommy worked hard last week. So I thought about having more time with you and Diana while I’m on my two-day rest.”

Diana’s eyes lit in excitement and Devon’s giant smile made my heart the happiest as he threw his little arms to embrace me tight. “Thanks, mom! Diana and I have so many things to tell you about what happened today at school.

I looked at Annie and the smile on her face showed that she was glad I took a short break from work to give more time for the kids. I mouthed her thank you for taking care of them on days when I was too busy to attend for the twins.

“It’s good that you take some time to rest from the work. It’s important for Devon and Diana that you make time for them.” Annie approached me after she put Devon and Diana’s bags on the couch and made sure the twins’ had gone to their rooms to change. “They could feel that you have been a little agitated these past few days, and they are worried.”

“Yeah,” I told her and sighed as I shook my head and looked at the twins’ rooms, where they were giggling and excited for the idea that I was free for two days to spend with them. “I didn’t notice I got too busy solving things that are going on between me and Dominic that I forgot the kids need me as well. I need to make up for it.”

“They’re really thrilled about it.” Annie was excited, too, because it meant a day off for her as well.

And just like I promised them, the twins and I went to a mall, and I let Diana choose a dress she always wanted. Devon asked for another game, and then we spent three hours in a playground and ate the food they wanted until they went exhausted and slept in the car as I drove us home. While looking at my kids in the rearview mirror, I promised myself to not let the work eat too much of my time and remind myself that I had to sometimes relax and have time with the kids often.

When I arrived at home, I noticed a black SUV and spotted a tall, dark figure leaning against the closed door as if waiting.

Dominic.

Just knowing he was here again made my heart erratic. Did something happen? Did Killian go to his office again and make a scene again? So many bad things entered my head. I swiftly removed the seatbelt and jumped out of the car to ask him what made him visit at eight o’clock in the evening.

“Dominic,” I approached him nervously as I panted. “W-What brought you here?”

He was surprised to see the fear on my face and frowned. “Why? What’s happened?” he asked with the same worry on his face. “Are the twins fine?”

As soon as I realized that there’s nothing to be worried about, I drew out a heavy breath and placed a hand on my stomach. “Oh, nothing. I just—I panicked thinking something terrible happened. Why are you here anyway?”

He stared into my anxious eyes and pushed my hair behind my ear. “Nothing is wrong, Samantha. I’m just here because I missed you and the kids.”

All the tension in my body disappeared as soon as I saw the longing in Dominic’s eyes. I couldn’t understand why I went into a full panic, but perhaps it was because I was afraid he got into another fight because of me, and I didn’t want him to be hurt again. “Oh,” I answered, heaving a long and slow sigh. “Okay. The kids and I... we just went to a mall. They’re sleeping in the car.”

“Let me help you tuck them in bed.” Dominic smiled softly, planted a kiss on my lips, and then proceeded to check on Devon and Diana in the car. I watched him carry Diana first as I opened the door with the key and helped him go to Diana’s bedroom and tuck her to bed, making sure his little girl was comfortable cuddling with her doll.

I waited for him in Devon’s room and watched as he tucked him to bed as well with Mr. Snuffles in his arms.

“Thank you,” I whispered to him with a smile as I closed the door of Devon’s room and offered him a drink in the kitchen. “I didn’t expect you to come. You were just here last night.”

“I can’t concentrate with my work the whole day thinking of you.” He was obviously flirty but his voice was sincere as he sat on the bar stool while I served him a cup of wine. “I need to see you tonight, Samantha.”

The longing in his tone brought pure joy in my heart because I couldn’t get him out of my system as well after that glorious night we shared that made me decide on a huge change in my life and the twins’ lives. “I have something I need to tell you, Dominic.”

“Anything,” Dominic answered as he looked at me with lustful eyes and sipped on his wine.

“I...” I bit my lower lip and focused my eyes on the glass in front of me. “I already decided to move to Silver Crescent Pack territory for good.”

Dominic’s eyes widened as I saw pure happiness and surprise lit in his eyes. I didn’t know how to react, though, but it also brought me a thrilling feeling to imagine myself and the kids finally settling in the turf where Dominic was ruling. So I asked him with a suppressed smile, “So when do you think the best time to prepare for it?”

“As soon as you can, Samantha.” he leaned over the table and closed the gap between our faces with a deep kiss. I had never seen his face so excited before and he reminded me of little Devon with that huge smirk on his face. “Just tell me when you are ready and let me prepare for everything." But then his face darkened as he thought about something. “Killian. Did you tell him already about your plan?”

“I did. I already told him last night.” I answered as the awful memories came into my head. Through our mate bond, Dominic got the power to access it and saw what happened. I got nervous that he could do such a thing, but when he looked at me, all I saw was gratitude and love in his eyes.

“Thank you for trusting me, Samantha. For choosing me. This means so much to me, love,” he murmured as he took my hand and kissed the back of it. “What if Killain refused to let you and the twins go? He has the right since you are still a member of his pack. And you can only transfer into mine if he ever releases you.”

“I already made my decision,” I said firmly while staring into his eyes like nothing can change my mind anymore. “It is not right to stay here when Killian has feelings for me, Dominic. I can’t do this to him. And please allow me some more time to prepare the kids for this. This will make them confused and scared because all their life, all they know is this place and the people here. I need for them to feel comfortable with the idea that we need to move.”

“You can have the time you want, Samantha.” he smiled at me. “Choosing to move in my turf makes me so happy.”

I smiled at him and spent a little more time drinking wine before he decided to go. Just like how he is, he teased me if he could stay for the night again, but I refused, telling him he had to go.

After I prepared and went to bed, my eyes were already closed when I heard my phone ring and saw Dominic on the caller’s ID.

“What?” I asked, smiling. My heart danced at the idea that he couldn’t get me out of his head even after we just saw each other an hour ago.

“I just want to say I love you, Samantha,” he murmured with a voice that made me think he was smiling while saying it. “Have a wonderful sleep, love.”

“Goodnight, Dominic,” I whispered with a huge smile and dreamed of him with me and the kids in a garden full of lavenders and white roses.
