It took me half an hour to get rid of the guards who ran after me. I thought one of them would
~Samantha~"You won't. But feel free to try. It will make the victory sweeter." He was almost gone now. Just a voice in the air. "Better make them count."Then he was gone. Completely. Just wisps of shadow that faded in the morning light.I stood there breathing hard. The silver light connecting me to Dominic started to fade.
~Samantha~Black Moon wasn't dead. The neck snap hadn't killed him. Of course it hadn't. He was too powerful for something that simple to work.We'd barely gotten Dominic loaded into the vehicle when Black Moon appeared in the mill doorway. Standing. Whole.

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]I looked down at all of them with such hatred that I couldn’t contain it anymore, and I saw Olivia and Richard’s eyes widen with dread in them. I had never seen them scared of Dominic’s wolf before. Seeing how intimidated they were by my wolf, after years of insulting me

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]I couldn’t sleep. How can I find sleep when, each time I close my eyes, I am haunted by the image of that child's terrified face?This afternoon, when I took a nap, I dreamed about that child again, but this time, it was Devon being choked to death by the Black Claw guy.
