Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 85

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

I looked at Madison and Cynthia, and they just bowed their heads.

“Let’s get inside,” I said to the kids as I led them gently inside. I felt I had to explain to them about everything and reminded myself to be gentle with it. I never wanted my kids to misunderstand everything, and the last thing I wanted was for them to believe everything they heard from the people around this area, especially in school.

Madison and Cynthia were too scared to speak about what had happened, so I focused on the twins. I made Devon and Diana sit on my bed and sat in front of them. I was scared this day would come—that my twins would start asking questions about everything they would hear from people about me.

“What is wolfless, Mom?” She asked the same question worriedly. “Devon and I heard the mothers in school about Wolfless Luna while looking at us. I don’t understand what that means.”

I smiled at Madison and Cynthia to let them know that it was alright, and they could leave us three in the room. Cynthia closed the door and gave me an apologetic look, feeling awful that the kids experienced such poor treatment from the people around them.

But it was something I couldn’t control. The people in the Silver Crescent hated us. Most of them, especially the wealthy people in the pack, favored Olivia more than me. Olivia was right. If it wasn’t for Lena, no one would ever want me to go back to Silver Crescent even if the Alpha wanted it. The Alpha had to listen to the majority of his council and elders, and Richard and Olivia had the most support from them.

“I have a story,” I said to Diana and Devon with love as I caressed the sides of their faces to ease their worry. ‘I have a story about a beautiful young female shifter who was born without a wolf. And a shifter without a wolf... people call them wolfless.” I explained slowly. “So this girl, she was destined for a greater calling. She was loved by the Alpha with all his heart, for she was his mate. She was destined to become the Luna after the Moon Goddess bound them to be together forever.”

Devon yawned and Diana stretched her little arms. “Okay, I guess you need to take a relaxing warm bath and take a short nap.”

“No, Mom,” Devon complained, looking genuinely interested in the story, “I need to know if she got her happy ending!”

“Yes!” Diana agreed with her twin. “I need to know if she and the Alpha got married!” her little voice was demanding, with her eyebrows raised and lips pouting. “Finish the story, Mom, pretty please?”

I sighed and smiled helplessly, “Fine.” I laughed, tucked them into the bed, and ensured their comfort before I continued with the story. “The wolfless girl’s life wasn’t easy because life became a little challenging for her as she and the Alpha fought for their love for each other. But they had faith. And that was enough to conquer everything until the Moon Goddess blessed them with twins—a boy and a girl, who they both loved with all their hearts. And after that, the wolf-less girl was finally granted her wolf. And she became one of the powerful she-wolves in their continent and lived happily with her Alpha and her twins.”

Devon opened his mouth, wanting to ask another question, but he was too drained to utter a single word and fell asleep. Diana was already sleeping soundly as well. And I gave them kisses on their foreheads before I went straight to speak with Madison and Cynthia.

I found them both in the kitchen, waiting for me as well.

“Miss Samantha,” Madison approached me first with an apologetic look in her eyes, “I’m sorry about what happened with the kids. We tried to protect them, but those people are too hard to handle.”

“Did any of them hurt the kids?” I asked. Feathers appeared on my jaw as I spoke, which made Cynthia bow her head in fear.

“No, Miss.” Madison was the only one who had the courage to answer. Her face was cold, pale, and sweaty as she wiped her hands on her apron. “They just gave the kids some nasty looks and couldn’t help gossiping in front of them. Cynthia and I were too late to realize what was happening, but we took the kids away immediately and told them not to believe anything they hear from the people!”

I saw the sincerity in Madison’s eyes and sighed, “Okay. It’s my fault as well. I should have told you not to leave them too long on the playground at school.”

Madison and Cynthia made sure something like that would never happen again, and I told them I never blamed them. The kids didn’t ask me any questions again and thought about telling Dominic everything.

Exhausted and worried about everything that happened on our first day in Silver Crescent, I started to doubt my decision, if moving here was the right thing for me and the kids.

That night, I had a hard time sleeping, thinking about what I could do to win the heart of the people of Silver Crescent. How could I regain their trust and secure their acceptance of me and my children as part of the pack? Tears rolled down my face because I wasn’t sure what I was doing anymore. Was the effort truly worth it? I didn’t realize I was already sacrificing my children’s happiness because of the decision to move here for Dominic.

Exhaustion slowly swallowed me when I felt strong arms wrapped around my body. And feeling Dominic’s warmth and the smell of his skin was enough to hope and pray that everything will fall into their right places. I wish I could kiss him and feel him more, but I was too tired to move and felt as if everything just turned black the moment he cuddled me and pressed my face gently against his hard chest.

*****

I woke up groggy with a massive headache and found Dominic wasn’t on his side of the bed when I reached to cuddle with him. Only a note was left on the bedside table telling me he was needed at an emergency meeting, and he would come back as soon as he could.

The day went by just as stressfully as yesterday, after I dealt with so much paperwork and went to the slum and desolate areas of Silver Crescent to check and understand what kind of help and assistance the people who lived there needed from their Alpha. It was sad that the council had time to gossip and ruin my reputation in the pack while they ignored the cries of the unfortunate members who needed their support and help.

While I was on my way home, I decided to make a brief visit with the kids at the school. Also, I wanted to know the treatment they get from those who were around them.

Just as I expected, when I arrived at the school, Diana and Devon were playing in the playground with Madison and Cynthia looking after them—making sure they were safe. But it broke my heart to see that no kids wanted to join them. Madison was right. I saw how those mothers threw nasty glares at my kids.

“There’s no way I can let them do this.” I snarled to myself as I marched inside and saw the shock on their faces. Diana, upon seeing me entering the gates, cried as tears streamed down her small reddish face. Devon looked distressed as he ran after his twin sister protectively.

Diana buried her face against my thigh.

“I want to go home, Mom! Please! Take us home!”
