[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

I was still in shock, and my heart was racing as I looked at my mate—my husband! He was here! He looked for me. He was limping, and my heart sank when I saw that long, stitched wound on his back.

As much as I wanted to ask what happened, all his focus was on Ethan, still sitting on the concrete, filthy floor. I could feel his terror as he was forced to look back at Dominic. He was trembling to the bones, and I didn’t know if I enjoyed watching him pee on his pants while being interrogated by my mate or felt awful because he was still my best friend even after he almost got me killed and tortured for many days.

“P-Please don’t kill me, Alpha. I just did what I had to,” he pleaded as he grimaced. His ribcage must be healing already, and the process must be excruciating. “It’s the only way I can save Samantha! Believe me!”

A low growl escaped from Dominic’s throat. If only looks can kill, Ethan was already dead the second my mate threw him a glare, “I trusted you, bastard! I trusted you with the twin and my mate’s life! And look what you did!”

I was so glad all the horrible injuries caused by the silver chains were healed and disappeared after I shifted back to my human form. If Dominic had noticed that state of me, I was sure he would never stop ripping Ethan into pieces until he was nothing but chunks of flesh and bones on the ground.

And the Goddess would smite me for being an idiot, but I still felt empathy for the guy who made me suffer hell in this place. But he was Ethan. As much as I wanted him dead, I knew he had his reason. And whatever it was, it involved the children so I had to know.

“Who wants us dead, Ethan?” I asked, scared and nervous, when Dominic made a step forward with his fist ready to swing a punch on Ethan’s already bruised face.

“Ad orgadidation,” he answered; his pronunciation was messed up because of his broken nose. “You hag do know dit it layp and det—”

“Oh, shut up, you clown!” Dominic barked at him, “You will come with us and answer all the things you did to Samantha!”

“Love, wait...” I stopped Ethan before his fist landed on Ethan’s face, breaking the guy’s nose further. “Please don’t kill him. We still need him, Dominic. I have to know who these people who are after me and the twins. I need to know what they want from us and why they want us. What they know about who I really am.”

Dominic closed the gap between us and wrapped his arm around my waist. “I don’t care what they want, Samantha. I will protect you and the twins with my life. They can wage war against the Silver Crescent all they want, but I won’t let you and the twins leave the pack!”

“I know. But I need Ethan alive. For now.” I threw the Gamma a lethal glare, and my expression softened when my eyes went back to my husband. “I need him to explain. Unfortunately, with his broken nose, it will take time, so I need him to go with us back in the city—to interrogate.”

Dominic seemed unhappy about it, but he sighed heavily, “Fine.” Then he reached for his pocket and remembered he didn’t have his phone with him. “I can’t call Liam for backup, so guess I need to shift to my werewolf form to transport you both back to the pack.

“Wait,” I gasped, wide-eyed. “How are the kids? Are they safe, Dominic?”

His eyes softened as he caressed my cheek. “Nothing to worry about, love. They are safe with mom. Devon makes sure Diana is safe, so there’s nothing to worry about. You will see them when he heads back.”

Both of us looked at Ethan. I didn’t know what plan Dominic had with him, but I wanted to know what made him desperately do it.

*****

Three days after Dominic found me in that dilapidated building with Ethan, he insisted that we and the kids would go back to our house and said that we should stay in the pack house while the mystery of what Ethan told us hadn’t been solved yet. Dominic made sure that Ethan’s betrayal was a secret, not wanting the Gammas and the rest of the pack to think differently of him while we weren’t sure yet if Ethan was indeed an enemy or if he was really thinking for my and my kid’s safety.

“So are you ready to talk now, Ethan?”

Dominic poured a pail of cold water on Ethan’s face. The Gamma and Ethan gasped violently, awakened by the freezing water. His injuries were already healed, and he had to talk before Dominic lost his patience and killed him.

“Talk!” I snarled at Ethan, pretending to look angry and dangerous, but in my heart, I still had faith that he wasn’t a total evil guy. “Talk or they will kill you, Ethan!”

There was fear in Ethan’s eyes and apology as he looked at me. But he glared straight into Dominic’s eyes as he uttered, slow and clear, “There’s a huge, criminal organization here in this region who had been conspiring to take over this continent, Alpha.”

He started explaining but was careful enough not to mention any names. “They are after the royal clan. They are going to seize power and kick the Werewolf King from his throne. But they realized there was a missing link. A link that brought them to Samantha and her twins. Because Samantha is a straight relative of the Werewolf King, Dominic! Her father is the missing son of the monarchs. They are the purebreds.  The Primordial Bloodline that the elders thought was already extinct.”

Dominic froze. There was confusion and shock on his face that made Ethan smirk, satisfied at my mate’s reaction.

“If there are people after me and the twins, then I can’t hide anymore what I am really capable of,” I said with a soft voice, which made Dominic more confused. “We will fight them back. And this time, they will face the power of my wolf.”
