Hiding the Alpha's Twins: His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Chapter 92

[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]

“The twins are in the Pack Manor now with the Mother Luna, Alpha,” my Beta, Liam, reported as he returned to the house where the incident happened. Ethan stayed with us and wanted to know the next plan after finding out Samantha wasn’t in the Silver Crescent.

Ethan suspected that Samantha was brought outside the pack. “My men and I searched for her all over the city, even in the slums where most of the Omegas live. But we couldn’t find a trace of her, not even her scent,” he told me as we examined the blood on the floor. One of the investigators had taken samples already and came back with a report that the blood was from an animal. A pig. And that made me more furious.

“This is f*cking crazy.” I snarled under my breath as I leaned on the counter with my eyes glaring outside the window. The wind was moving Diana’s swing. “How could a pig’s blood get in Samantha’s house?!”

“We are not sure, Alpha. It is indeed aggravating, but the Zetas in the laboratory said that the sample might have been corrupted with sorcery.”

“Sorcery? You think a witch did this?!” a low, guttural growl reverberated in my throat. My hands grabbed the edge of the counter so tight my knuckles turned white; the wooden furniture creaked under my grip. “I knew it was a terrible idea to let these witches stay in my pack. I should have banned them from entering my turf!”

“You know that’s impossible.” Liam was quick when it came to putting sense into my head, “Your ancestors signed a treaty with them many years ago, Alpha. You can’t wage a war against them when we are not sure what really happened. We don’t have enough evidence yet.”

“Liam is right,” Ethan seconded my Beta. “We are not sure if there is a conspiracy within the coven of witches or if it’s just one person who did this to Samantha, Alpha. From what we see here, only one witch could have done this.”

“Dominic.”

Liam, Ethan, and I turned and saw Richard Bennett standing on the wrecked door with a shocked look on his face. He looked around the house and then, with wide eyes, he asked, “What happened here?”

“Samantha is missing,” I answered with my eyes still staring at the blood. “And Liam and Ethna think a witch did this and abducted her.”

“I told you before we can’t trust those heathens,” Richard commented as he stepped inside the house. They have been causing so much trouble, especially with their illegal practices here in Silver Crest. You have to think about the people’s safety and get them out of your turf, Dominic.”

“I don’t f*cking care about that right now, Bennett,” I snarled. “I have to find my mate and kill that bastard who took my wife! I will make sure he suffers a slow and painful death for this. My voice was oozing with death and anger as I hissed. “If that witch ever hurt Samantha, I swear to the Moon Goddess—”

Liam’s hand patted me on the shoulder. “We will do everything possible to track the culprit, Dominic. Stay calm.”

“What if Samantha ran away for the second time?”

That comment from Richard made me snarl, and in a split second, I was already in front of him, breathing fire as my chest rose and fell rapidly, glaring at him with a warning: “Say that again, and I’ll forget you’re one of my advisors, Bennett!”

Liam and Ethan froze in fear as they saw the crimson orb in my eyes. But Richard Bennett stood without blinking an eye at me and stared back without fear.

“It’s just my opinion, son,” he answered back, and I sensed his sarcasm as he smirked at my face. “She had done it before. What if something changed her mind and she did it again?”

“And leave her twins here?” Ethan grimaced at Richard, “Samantha will never do that! She can’t do that to Devon and Diana!”

“Fine,” Bennett raised his arms in surrender and then laughed awkwardly. “I am just here to tell you, Dominic, that you are needed in the council meeting. The elders want to know what happened here.”

“Tell them I can’t,” I snapped at him. “I will go with Ethan to investigate. Tell them to wait until I have time to discuss this with them. They are my subjects. Not the other way around.” I said coldly as I straightened my jacket. “And tell them never to summon me again because it irritates me. I am the Alpha! Know their f*cking place!”

Liam and Ethan seemed satisfied as they grinned at my response to Bennett. Richard, who was humiliated in front of my Beta and the Gamma soldiers, scoffed and then turned his back on me.

That’s when I noticed something on his lower nape.

A bandage.

“Hey, Richard!” I called to him and he stopped and turned to me with a suppressed annoyance on his face, “Where did you get that wound on your back?”

“This?” He answered, and then reached for the bandage with his hand. “Oh, I got this yesterday at the pub. A b*tch hit me with a bottle yesterday, and the rest of the details are too personal. You know, Dominic. The man has his needs as well.”

Liam shook his head in disgust and Ethan kicked a small piece of debris on the floor, looking grossed out at Richard’s answer.

“Okay. Go and tell the elders not to get too inquisitive with the incident here. I will tell them once I finally find a lead. Don’t rush me.” I dismissed him with a wave of a hand.

Richard gave me a short nod before he went straight to his car.

Liam and Ethan looked at me as if they read what was in my head. “Dominic,” they said in unison.

“I know.” I answered while following Richard’s car with a glare. “Liam, I need you to follow Richard and investigate his every move. Ethan, monitor the twins closely. Don’t ever take your eyes off of them. Make sure they’re safe.”

“Understood, Alpha.” They bowed and then left, starting with their missions.

I, as well, had somewhere to go and check.

“Dominic!”

I didn’t wait for her to open the door wide for me and pushed it, which made Olivia’s eyes widen. “What brought you here?”

I looked around her luxurious, cozy condominium unit and slipped my hands in the pocket of my black jeans. Olivia looked at me with a smile on her face, pleased that I gave her a visit. But I gave her a cold look, and that smile on her face disappeared, along with her hope and assumption that I was here to have a little fun with her.

That was not me anymore.

“I need to know where your father went in the last 24 hours, Olivia. I went to the office and looked for his schedules, but the secretary told me you are the one organizing your father’s appointments. It’s the first time I learned he is not reporting to the office about his activities.”

Her brows deepened. “What is this about, Dominic? Why are you suddenly curious about my father’s agendas? You never cared about what he did before. He is one of your trusted advisors!”

“Just answer me, Olivia.” I hissed with narrow, steely eyes. “Where was your father last night?”

Olivia flinched when she saw the impatience in my eyes and her voice started to tremble. “H-he’s here. He went home from a meeting with the elders last night about the rebellion happening, Dominic. I told you Samantha’s return is terrible news for the Silver Crescent pack. The people don’t want her here!”

“‘I DON’T F*CKING CARE WHAT THEY WANT, OLIVIA!” I roared and her knees gave up. She sat on the floor with her wide eyes looking at me with terror. “I am the Alpha! And Samantha is my wife! And if I ever find out that you and your father have something to do with what happened to her, banishment is not enough for a punishment, Olivia! You and Richard will face something more dreadful than that.”

“I-I have no idea what you are talking about, Dominic! I don’t know what’s going on! I swear to you!”

I let out a growl as I turned my back on her. There was panic in Olivia’s eyes that disturbed me, but I couldn’t waste any more time threatening her because she already knew how ruthless I was when someone defies me. I had to know if Richard had something to do with the witches. If he was affiliated with them and just masking his connection with those people with his fake hatred.

I grabbed the doorknob tight and glared at Olivia before I left.  “You know me when I get so desperate, Olivia. You know me very well.”

Her face paled as she swallowed hard.
