Chapter 88: Chapter 88

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“Good morning, beautiful.”

I woke up beaming as I saw Dominic holding a tray of breakfast. When I looked at the wall clock, it was only six in the morning.

“Isn’t this too early?” I complained with a suppressed smile. It was the best sleep of my life, especially because I woke up in the arms of the man I love with all my heart.

“Love, I promised Devon and Diana we would go to a picnic today but they are still sleeping so I thought of serving you breakfast first so everything is prepared when they wake up,” he said as he kissed me. “You like pancakes, right? I did my best.” He winked and then poured me a cup of coffee.

I squinted my eyes at him, and he looked at me with innocent, large eyes. “What?” He asked as he licked his finger after he put some eggs on my plate.

“Nothing,” I chuckled and closed my eyes as I smelled the wonderful aroma of the coffee wafting around the room, “I’m not just used to this.”

His hazel turned solemn all of a sudden. He reached for my face and then kissed my lips softly. He smelled bath soap and the musky scent was so sexy I wanted to pull him onto the bed and wish we could spend the whole day together. But this day was for Diana and Devon. And it makes me happy that despite Dominic’s crazy schedule, he put me and the children first.

“Then get used to this.” His voice was deep and hoarse, and my heartbeat went frantic when his lips trailed down my jawline and to my neck. “Because you are stuck with me, Samantha. There’s no way I would let go of you again.”

Those words sent shiver down my spine and my little gasp made Dominic’s eyes half-closed as his lips went closer and closer to my lips—

“Gotcha.”

Dominic almost jumped off the bed when Devon’s voice filled the room. The tray almost stumbled on the bed, and lucky for me, I had a quick reflex and grabbed it before the coffee spilled on the bedsheet.

“You’re staying in Mom’s bed again!” Devon exclaimed accusingly as he pointed his finger at Dominic. “No one but me is allowed to embrace Mommy!”

“Devon!” We said in unison and found our son mischievously grinning at us. Diana appeared behind her brother and rubbed her little sleepy eyes.

“Okay, let’s go to the dining area and have breakfast together,” I laughed after Devon ran towards Dominic and wrestled with him. Diana carefully placed her doll on the bed and helped me with the tray to put on the table at the dining area as the two continued tussling on the sheets with laughter filling the house.

My chest felt so light. It was as if I was in a dream with my mate having fun with the kids. Before, I thought it was too much for a wish.

But here I am, living the best part of my life. Our home is brimming with love and laughter. We had a light breakfast and Dominic and I let the children help with the food we were going to pack for the picnic. Diana loves strawberry cakes, so Dominic made sure we have some, while Devon asked for his favorite ham and cheese sandwiches.

“Go to the car with Diana. Devon and I will take care of everything. Right, buddy?” Dominic fist bumped Devon and Devon responded with a beaming smile, thrilled that he was going to hang out with Dominic the whole day. Diana and I looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders with suppressed laughter.

“I love that song!” Diana exclaimed while we were on our way toward the place. Dominic turned the volume up and I watched how he enjoyed singing with Devon and Diana. His other hand was on the steering wheel while the other was holding my hand, squeezing them as he sang and smiling at me, wanting me to sing with them as well. And I couldn’t because I couldn’t stop giggling!

At the top of the hill, where we had a panoramic view of the entire city, the sun remained gentle on our skin, accompanied by a refreshing breeze. There was a playground there, which looked so new as if no one had used it yet.

“Please don’t tell me you just prepared this place and turned it into a picnic area?” I whispered to Dominic as the kids ran to the playground with excitement. To my surprise, he kissed me on the lips and my eyes widened. “ I told no kisses in front of the—”

“They’re not looking,” he winked at me as he carried the baskets and the things for the picnic. “You make me so happy, Samantha.”

I couldn’t find the right words to convey to him how much he made me and the children happy, so I simply smiled and rested my head on his shoulder as we walked side by side to the location beneath a massive flowering crabapple tree.

“Eat first! Then you can play the whole day!” Dominic called the kids.

“Aww...” Devon and Diana pouted, but they walked toward us and helped set up the picnic mat, the food, and the utensils. After lunch, Dominic finally let them play and Devon and Diana ran with their arms spread, screaming they were birds as the wind brushed on their faces.

“How is the council meeting?” Dominic’s voice was quiet as he asked me, his eyes not leaving the children as they ran all around the place.

“They gave me a chance to prove myself to them and the people of Silver Crescent,” I answered as I leaned my head on his shoulder. “They expect so much, and I understand why they are being so hard on me. I promised I won’t let you and Lena down and will do my best to win people’s trust again.

He kissed my hair and whispered, “You don’t have to prove anything to anyone, love. I love you. And no one deserves to be the Luna of this pack but you, Samantha.”

His words were like music to my ears as I peacefully closed my eyes and leaned on his shoulder while listening to the soft whistle of the wind and the rustling of the leaves. Not too long after, Dominic moved from his seat and I looked at him, curious why he stood up and smiled at me.

To my panic, he shifted to his werewolf form and the kids stopped playing and watched him morph. I stood with wide eyes as he turned into a beautiful silver wolf and approached me with his muzzle brushing the cheek of my face.

“Dominic! Why did you—”

I expected Devon and Diana to freak out, but to my surprise, they ran toward Dominic, thrilled to feel his fur in their small hands. Diana jumped on his belly as Dominic rested on his side and watched the children scream in excitement. Devon looked at Dominic like he was the coolest guy on earth.

“I know you hide something amazing from us! I can feel it!” Devon exclaimed to Dominic with glittering eyes. “I know you are like me and Diana! You also have a wolf!”

[Dominic—]

[It’s okay, Samantha. I know. Mom told me the kids have their wolves already.]

I wondered what Lena told Dominic about the children. What changed her mind to tell him the kids finally got their wolves? She was the one who warned me first.

Perhaps she realized Dominic had the right to know. And he showed the kids that they are not different from the rest of the pack. That having a wolf was a natural thing for us shifters.

Devon and the children played all day, and when they got tired, Diana and Devon slept on Dominic’s soft silver fur.

Dominic drove us home. As we took the picnic stuff out of the car, I saw him looking upset on the phone, so I asked, “What happened?”

“It’s Liam. I told him I can’t be disturbed today but there’s a matter only I can handle.” He snarled quietly as he shoved his phone in his pocket. “I want to stay more with you and the kids.”

It was sad that he had to go, but I smiled at him and said, "It’s okay, love." You made the children so happy. This day is so perfect.”

He kissed the top of my head, still upset as he said goodbye to Devon and Diana and then drove back to Pack Manor. The twins were too worn out to ask, so Madison and Cynthia helped me tuck them into bed after they had their dinner.

Then my phone rang, “Ethan?” I asked, surprised because it’s already late.

“Samantha,” I heard distress in his voice. His breath was heavy as he spoke, “I need you in the pack manor tomorrow. One of my patrolmen told me there is a conspiracy against your return to Silver Crescent, and you need to show them your teeth to prove you are fit as the Luna of the pack.

“I understand, Ethan. I am working hard on the project Lena gave me. I will be there in the pack house tomorrow morning.”

I was about to go back to my room when I felt someone behind me—and it was too late to fight back as he or she pulled me into darkness, covering my eyes and mouth to prevent me from screaming.
