Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chapter 79

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

Lena, despite her busy schedule, insisted on going back to the house to see Devon and Diana once again. After I studied all the information in the folder that was assigned to me, I made sure to tell Lena that I would give her a result within the week.

She asked her driver to drive us back to the family compound and used her red SUV. As I watched our way back, I didn’t expect to miss the place as I saw the tall roadside pine trees and their amazing scent that made me close my eyes. It smelled like home. It was the smell of the place I cherished for years before I left to escape the misery I thought would never end.

But it did. Dominic was a storm that turned my life upside down, and yet that same storm brought clarity to what I really wanted in life—what I wanted to become and the person I wanted to be with. It was something I never expected after everything that happened. All of it felt as if it was a dream. And being with Lena in her car felt as if those awful things never really happened. Despite all of it, though, the twins were the most beautiful thing that happened between that storm. And I was willing to go through all of it over and over again if it meant I could have Devon and Diana.

As we arrived, Lena noticed a familiar face and uttered in surprise. “Ethan? What is he doing here?”

Ethan?

I looked out of the window and saw my friend waving at us with a huge smile on his face. It had been a while since we last saw each other, and I was excited to know how he had been.

As soon as the driver parked the car, I hopped out and gave Ethan a tight hug. He embraced me back, lifted me to the ground, and whirled me gently as we both laughed; both were delighted to see each other again.

“I am so glad you finally decided to move here, Sam. You have no idea how this makes me happy. At least here I can visit you anytime without worrying about Moonstone people tackling me down to the ground.” Ethan laughed and patted my head, just as he used to when we were in the training camp.

“Don’t say that, Ethan.” I shoved his hand away with a smile and pouted my lip. “Moonstone people are not really that bad. They are just cautious with you, Silver Crescent people, for being too controlling and arrogant.”

“Don’t say that. You are one of us now. Just so you know,” Ethan raised an eyebrow at me and noticed Lena’s presence as she approached us and bowed. “Good evening, Mother Luna. The Alpha sent me here to make sure the place is safe and secure for the Luna and the twins. I am leading the patrol team tonight to rove the area.”

“No need to be too formal, Ethan.” Lena waved her hand lazily with a smile and chuckled at her son’s friend. “I am just here to check with the kids as well, making sure they love their room and everything.”

“You spoil them too much, Lena,” I said to her, grateful and worried at the same time.

“Oh, these little darlings deserve it. They deserve so much love from their Granny.”

Ethan and I watched Lena get inside the house, and I heard the children cheer with glee and then laugh as Lena gave them tickles and hugs.

"You bring so much joy here," Ethan said, gazing at me with a sense of gladness as he slipped his hands into his pockets and sighed at the night’s chill breeze. “It’s been a long time since I saw the Mother Luna being so lively and cheerful like that. It’s priceless, Sam.”

“You know that’s not true,” I thought otherwise as I looked at him meaningfully, “And I mean about the elders and some of the council members, Ethan. I know they don’t like me returning here in Silver Crescent. They prefer Olivia more than me, as Luna.”

Ethan grinned mischievously, “If you only saw their faces when Dominic shut them off after they made a ruckus in the meeting hall. It’s not their decision if you are welcome here or not, Sam. Dominic wants you here. There’s no way he would let anyone interfere with his decision when it’s the safest place for you and the twins, Sam.”

“I know. It’s just—I don’t know. Strange? Maybe because I’ve been away from this place for so long and... I don’t know how to feel.”

“It’s okay to feel a little doubtful with everything, Sam. As long as you believe in yourself, there’s nothing to be scared of.” Ethan spoke softly as we strolled towards the backyard, observing the playground that Dominic prepared for the kids.

“It’s been six years. Don’t tell me you haven’t found your mate yet,” I teased him, knowing that Ethan was a notorious womanizer in our younger years.

He rolled his eyes at me in dramatic exaggeration that made me chuckle, “How am I able to find the right woman for me when your mate kept on making me busy with endless paperwork!” he grumbled jokingly at me.

I frowned. “He told me he’s always done with his duties whenever he sneaks inside Moonstone to visit me and the kids,” I asked, a little curious and confused. “What’s happening?”

He eyed me. “He’s never done with his job assignments!” Ethan blurted, more like complaining but with humor that made me miss him more because of his comedic side. “He’s worried that whenever he’s not around, you and that Moonstone Alpha will get closer and you have no idea how that makes him crazy, Sam. he’s crazy when he’s so paranoid about you and Alpha Killian.”

“So that’s the reason behind the late-night visits and his sudden appearance in my house.” My eyes squinted. “Are you saying he’s trying to catch me having an affair with Killian?”

Ethan saw the anger rising in me, though, so he quickly dodged the bullet. “More like he’s concerned about your safety and the kids, Sam. He wants to make sure you and the kids are safe from Killian’s enemies. Especially when the rumors spread all over the continent about the hybrids growing larger in number on the borders of Moonstone. And of course, the threat of Olivia to you and your children.”

My eyes sharpened as my stare grew cold and menacing.

“Richard Bennett kept on influencing the elders to convince the Alpha not to welcome you here,” he added with perturbation in his voice. Ethan was aware of this issue and found it concerning. “He thinks the council and the elders can help him convince Dominic that Olivia is the right Luna for the pack; that’s why Dominic couldn’t go here no matter how much he wanted to. He has to deal with them first and fix this before he sees you and the twins.”

I appreciate Dominic’s effort to defend me against his people. I knew it wasn’t easy for him no matter how much he displayed his power as their Alpha.

I was about to open my lips to tell Ethan how much I was grateful for him and Dominic when I heard a terrified scream inside the house.

My heart raced as I froze in fear and panic, and Ethan was the first to reach the door.
