Chapter 98: Chapter 98

[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]

“Alpha!”

“Shut up, Liam.”

“You’re literally bleeding to death, Dominic! Look at you! Your face starts to look so pale!” Liam lashed out at me as he dragged his hand on his face, “Please spare me from your mother’s wrath, Dominic. And let’s go home to treat that freaking wound.”

“I have a huge feeling Samantha is just around here, Liam,” I said to my Beta while panting. Cold beads of sweat started appearing on my forehead as I slowly felt my body weaken from the poison of the silver weapon the dark brown wolf used against me. “It’s a faint feeling, but I am sure she’s just here.”

“It must be the poison, Dominic,” Liam was starting to lose his temper, but I could see in his eyes that he understood my desperation to find my wife. And I understood that as my Beta, he was concerned about my safety as the ruler of the pack. That’s why he was anxious that I remained stubborn about staying in the forest.

But I had to. The more time passed that we hadn’t found Samantha, the more I became convinced that she was somewhere out there, being tortured by someone who wanted her dead. And there was no way I’d stop looking for her, knowing she was in danger. She could face death at any moment. Alone. In the darkness.

“I can’t go back, Liam. Maybe you take the others with you and seek the healers, but I’ll stay here and look for my wife.” I made myself clear to him, and he looked at me with a defeated look on his face and frustratingly dropped his shoulder. “Goddess help me, I am so dead when your mother finds out I left you here.”

I grinned at him, “You are my Beta, Liam. Not my freaking babysitter.” I threw him a darting look.

“I know. But remember the last time we got into a huge fight and you asked me to go back to pack manor and you said you could fight them on your own and you almost died?” He grimaced at the memory and then sighed, “Your mother blamed me for what happened to you, idiot. She told me I wasn’t taking care of you as your Beta.”

“Forget mom,” I laughed at him and winced when I felt sharp pain in my back. “She’s like Samantha. They tend to be too overprotective occasionally. That’s why they like each other very much.”

There was a smile on Liam’s face when I looked at him, “Yes. Your Mom loves your wife just as much as she loves you.” And that smile gradually disappeared and was replaced with horror. “That’s why I am screwed if I go back without you and Miss Samantha, Dominic!”

“I will be fine. Just tell mother to keep an eye on the twins. I haven’t heard from Ethan since we left yesterday, so make sure all of them are safe in the pack house.” I said to Liam with full trust. “You’re the only wolf I know who is capable of protecting my heirs if anything terrible happens.”

Liam, thank the Goddess, was finally convinced, “Fine. But at least let me do something for the wound.”

He asked for assistance from one of the Gammas to prepare the medkit. He poured disinfectant on the wound, made me grit my teeth and hissed in pain, then stitched it neatly.

“Go.”

Liam gave me a firm nod and then left with the rest of the Gammas, leaving me leaning against the old, tall tree. I looked around and sharpened my senses in the darkness and then closed my eyes. Aside from the sound of the night critters around me, there was something that gave me a nervous feeling. A feeling in the gut that was familiar but too faint for me to recognize. That’s when I opened my eyes because it was enough for me to hope that the mysterious presence I felt could be from Samantha.

Still limping with pain, I continued my search throughout the east part of the woods, hoping to see a clue. Perhaps there was something that could guide me toward my wife? I held on to that small feeling in my chest until I found an abandoned factory building.

In an instant, as my eyes lay on the premise, I felt the bond snap in place and my eyes widened.

Samantha...

That adrenaline rush in my veins made me forget the excruciating pain in my back as I ran with incredible speed inside the building. The feeling of my mate almost within my reach brought strength in me that I didn’t expect I still had after that deadly fight with the Black Claws.

“Samantha!!!”

I halted when I saw two figures in the shadow and recognized the one standing in front of me.

I thought my heart was going to explode with so much happiness.

Without any second thoughts, I went straight to her and embraced her tight. I didn’t have the chance to check if she was hurt or severely injured. I just wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me, burying my face on her shoulder and filling my nose with the sweet scent of her skin.

She smelled so divine; no one would suspect she was held for days in this dark, dilapidated place.

“Dominic!”

“Goddess, I’ve searched everywhere for you, Samantha!” I snarled with worry as I cupped her face and stared into her ocean blue eyes. “What happened?! Who did this to you?” My whole body was trembling— happy and scared at the same time.

That’s when I noticed she was only wearing a torn, filthy rag, which was surprising because her skin was immaculately clean and glasslike despite the fabric. Samantha’s eyes were teary when she smiled at me and kissed me on the lips. “Goddess, Dominic, I thought I would never see you again.”

“I won’t let that happen,” I answered with a solemn look on my face. “I will find you even in the depths of hell if it means I can be with you again, love.”

Samantha’s eyes looked down and I followed where her eyes were. I was shook right into the core after I recognized the person who was sitting and leaning against the wall, looking at both of us with an ashen face.

“ETHAN! YOU SON OF A—”

“Don’t kill him,” Samantha stopped me when I let go of her and was about to swing a powerful punch, wanting to shatter the bastard’s face, “He said he only did this to save me and the children...”

“I can’t believe you’re behind all of this, Ethan!” I roared at him. “You were there with me; you saw how devastated and scared I was. You did an investigation in Samantha’s house, and you f*cking pretended like you didn’t know anything in front of all of us!” I snarled at him, but Samantha’s hand held my arm—not letting me get near Ethan. “You made your Alpha look like a fool in front of everyone and there’s no forgiveness for that, you f*cking bastard!”

Ethan didn’t answer but wiped the blood on his mouth with the back of his hand. There was remorse on his face, but he didn’t apologize. He was never sorry for what he did to me and Samantha!

“Ethan knows something about me and the kids, Dominic.” Samantha stepped between me and her Gamma friend. She looked furious with him but remained calm despite what Ethan did. He was her f*cking best friend!

“Something what?! Does he have to do this to you?! To the twins!” I gritted my teeth as the orbs of my eyes turned crimson in anger. “What is wrong with you, Ethan?! You brought so much chaos after what you did to my mate!”

“If I don’t take Samantha away, they will be annihilated in that house, Alpha,” Ethan’s voice was trembling as he answered, “It’s the only way I can save Samantha! She has to get out of Silver Crescent or all of them will die!”

My brows creased into a deep furrow. “What do you mean they will die?! Who’s after them? Who wants them dead, Ethan! Tell us what you know!”
