Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Chapter 73

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

I didn’t sleep well last night.

The idea of moving to Silver Crescent Pack was a huge risk, not just for me but for the kids as well. I didn’t know what to expect. I knew we weren’t completely welcome there, and it was selfish of me to move the kids when Devon and Diane were comfortable with the Moonstone territory. But it was the right thing to do to avoid more damage between me and Killian. If we keep on staying here and the council and the pack members find out I was having a connection with the Silver Crescent Alpha, I will be branded a traitor to the pack. There’s no way I would risk my neck and make my children motherless because I was being careless and indecisive.

It was the only way to move forward and start a new life with Dominic.

I just wish I wouldn’t regret this decision.

Shut up with your hesitations, woman. You saw how our mate’s eyes lit the moment you told him about this. My wolf chided me. We can’t change our minds now.

I almost rolled my eyes and exhaled in exasperation, but I remembered I was with Annie in my room helping me put my things in the boxes. I asked Dominic not to rush me with this, but I decided that if the time came that we needed to do it, at least my things were ready.

“I hope Alpha Killian will allow you to make this decision,” Annie said to me, knowing that Killian won’t make this easy for me after rejecting the Alpha’s feelings and choosing his nemesis instead. “I am worried about the twins. I have a feeling the situation will not be easy for them.”

I drew out a deep breath as I folded a shirt and threw it inside a box. “We can’t stay here anymore, Annie. It’s too dangerous for the kids. Once the Moonstone people find out about me and Dominic, we will be in grave danger. And I don’t think Killian could help us if that happens because that’s one of the rules of the pack. Traitors are bound to die and I have no plan of dying because of staying here.”

Annie nodded as she understood that all my fears made sense. "Yeah, that’s pretty scary to think about,” she commented with terrified eyes as we continued folding clothes and organizing things in boxes. “But Smanatha, I can tell you are truly happy with the Silver Crescent Alpha.”

I paused from what I was doing and felt my face heat when Annie grinned at me teasingly. She added. “You don’t blush like this unless I mention his name.”

“Goddess, Annie!” I laughed awkwardly at her and panicked a little. “The kids might hear you.”

“I have a feeling that they know already, though,” Annie answered with a smile still pasted on her lips, looking happy that I was finally happy with my decisions. “They are smart kids. They know and feel if something is happening to you. And seeing you looking so lovely and blooming with Alpha Dominic, I can say the kids are happy with you as well.”

“Do you think?” I asked her anxiously, not sure if the kids would accept Dominic that easily. “They’re fond of him, but I am not sure if— you know what I mean.” I lowered my eyes as I pulled another shirt to fold. “I’m scared Devon will hate him if he finds out.”

“We can’t dictate what the twins will feel about certain things,” Annie said with gentleness in her voice as she reached out for my hand and squeezed it. “But we can control things by explaining it to them and making them understand it well.”

“Thank you, Annie.” I smiled at her. “You have no idea how much help you give me with the twins. I can’t thank you enough.”

“I love them like they are my own.” Annie’s eyes curved into a genuine smile and then she chuckled, “But it’s brave that you finally decide what you really want, Samantha. That’s really brave.”

“This is for the twins. I have to think what is best for them,” I said to her with determination in my voice. “I am never running away again. I will face this and fix everything while I can. But Killian...” I murmured the Moonstone Alpha’s name with guilt. “I hate that he has to suffer because of his feelings for me. I...I hurt him, Annie.”

“Speaking of the Moonstone Alpha,” Annie’s eyes widened in surprise and worry when she picked up my phone and saw Killian’s anime on the caller ID. “I think he needs to talk to you.”

*****

I was surprised to know that Killian finally wanted to talk to me after I rejected him twice a few days ago.

I wanted to think positively that maybe he had already accepted my decisions and would pray for my happiness and the kids. But I knew Killian. He never gives up on anything; he would rather make me hate him than let Alpha Dominic have me and the twins.

And I wish I didn’t have to deal with that side of him now that he was ready to talk to me.

The only strange and suspicious thing is that he was not in his office and one of the desk officers there told me that Killian had not gone to the building yet. I confirmed it when I checked his log and he had no record of his attendance yet.

So I thought maybe I could go straight to his house, but my instinct told me it was a bad idea

“Goddess, what’s going on with you, Killian?” I hissed to myself as I went into my car, annoyed, and drove straight to the Manor of the Moonstone Pack. The place wasn’t as extravagant as Dominic’s Pack House, but it was welcoming and cozy with a huge garden filled with different kinds of orchid plants in a huge orchidarium. That garden was always the highlight of the Moonstone pack since the most livelihood of this peaceful place was farming.

I was about to knock on the door when I found out it was unlocked and I frowned. With my werewolf sense, I could tell the main floor was empty and there was no sound of anyone; even Omega servants weren’t there. My curiosity pushed me to go inside and find out what was happening since it was rare to see Killian’s home empty because the Omegas and Gammas of the pack always gather here after their work to contribute to the house.

The Pack House was unusually dark and silent so I decided to go upstairs and think that maybe Killian was just drunk and sleeping in his room. Perhaps he needed my help because he was always a helpless drunkard, and the thought gave me a pang of guilt knowing I was the cause of his pain after he poured his heart out to me and I refused to reciprocate. If only it was something I could control, if only my mind could win over my heart and the bind of the Moon Goddess could be ignored, maybe I would choose Killian over Dominic for having a pure heart for me and the kids. But I couldn’t. It compelled me that Dominic chose to change just to have me back and it was enough proof that maybe it was true—that second time romance can be the sweetest for someone like me who had been dreaming of him to be completely mine.

The wooden stairs creaked under my heavy, slow steps while my eyes wandered around the empty house. I smelled something burning on the third floor where Killian’s room was and my eyes widened. I started to panic.

With long strides and a heavy chest, I got into Killian’s room but felt and heard something was going on. When I heard Killian moaning as if he was in pain, I sharpened my werewolf senses, calmed myself, and closed my eyes while pressing my ears against the door of his room. I frowned and started to feel nervous as I decided to listen first. The sound of a woman’s whimper startled me so much that I flinched away, causing the back of my leg to collide with a vase. The crackling sound of the shattered vase caused panic in me, and I lost my balance and hit my back on the wall with a loud thud.

Alarmed at what the ruckus was about, Killian opened the door, and I was shocked to see him half naked with only a blanket to cover him from the hips below. I saw how his eyes slowly widened, flabbergasted to see me in a situation he never expected, and I was there, numb and stunned.

“S-Samantha what are you—”

My eyes noticed something moving behind him and found a naked woman with the same baffled expression as her arms instinctively went to her exposed br**sts to cover herself.

I didn’t waste any more seconds and moved. Feeling betrayed and sick in the stomach, all I wanted was to get out of the d*mned house.

Killian grabbed my hand and growled, “Wait, Sam, this is not what you think it is!”

“F*cking let me go, Killian!” I threatened him with a deadly glare. I was halfway down the stairs when he stopped me. “I was in agony for many nights, believing I was the worst she-wolf in the world for hurting you and the guilt almost killed me thinking you’re here all depressed and gloomy. But here you are, f*cking a woman already,” I laughed dryly. “What am I thinking!”

“It’s something for the pack I need to do.” He kept on explaining nonsense things to me, which only made me so bitter I wanted to punch him in the face.

I shook my head, confused about what he was trying to say. “Whatever, Killian.” My voice almost cracked as tears of both pain and anger sparkled in the corner of my eyes and snarled. “Go with her and f*cking forget I came here.”
