[SAMANTHA’S Point of View]
I didn’t sleep a wink.
That morning, all I did was stare outside the window and watch the kids play in the backyard. Madison and Cynthia were thrilled that the kids and I were back. The house was clean, and Madison prepared a delicious meal for us after she heard the news that we’re heading back home from the Pack Manor.
[SAMANTHA’S Point of View]I let the kids get busy taking care of the pup. Maybe they needed it. They needed a distraction from the issue that I and their father should be handling without involving them. That idea was like a sledgehammer on my chest. I wish we hadn’t brought Diana and Devon into that underground cave. I wish we didn’t go there. Because for what!? We failed to find the Wolf Tomb. We failed to locate the dead body of my mother. Or if she was dead indeed. I wasn’t sure anymore of what was happening. Yet, I couldn’t deny the fact that we learned a lot from that little dangerous adventure. We learned that Olivia still existed, and she still posed a huge threat to us and the whole Silver Crescent pack. I just wasn’t sure if my husband told his Beta about what happened to Olivia, and if the council would even believe everything we saw.And Killian. The MoonStone Alpha. I had no idea how I would be able to look Brianne in the eyes and tell her that her mate was as good as d

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]When we arrived at the gates of the Silver Crescent territory, Dominic made sure the healers and the Omega servants of the Pack Manor took care of me and the children first.As much as I wanted to talk to him and know what was in his head and why he just suddenly shut himself off from me, I couldn’t because he went straight to his office and went to look for Liam.
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]“How did you find it?”I couldn't resist glancing at Killian, squinting my eyes slightly with suspicion. Now that Killian had revealed that he wasn’t the man we all knew anymore, even Dominic and Devon became wary of him. Something happened to him. And it seemed he didn’t have any plan to tell us anything about it.[What is happening, Killian!? Explain to me everything!] Dominic glared at Killian, still not letting his guard down. Killian drove the shadow werewolves away. But it was clear, based on what we were seeing, that he was already one of them. Devon looked at me with worry and hurt, confused about what was happening, and it hurt me too that I didn’t know how to explain it to them. Was Killian now one of them? Was he already an enemy? What happened to him? Could it be too late to get him back to normal?“Mom!”I clenched my teeth and didn’t let my eyes stray from Killian. There was something wrong with him. That’s what my wolf instinct was telling me.
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]“Dominic!”“No! We are going out of here together!”“We don’t have enough time for this!” I snarled at him, frustrated that he was being so stubborn again. “You have to get the kids out before this well caves in on us all!”Dominic’s face darkened as he approached me with both of his arms, carrying Devon and Diana on each of his sides. His eyes went crimson, and his jaw tightened as he glared at me, using his Alpha command tone with his nerves appearing on the side of his forehead. “You get on my back, Samantha!”My eyes widened a bit as I felt that pressure on my shoulders, the power of the Alpha’s words that demanded I obey him. Never, not even once, did Dominic do it to me, and it intimidated me a bit as I silently stepped behind him, wrapping my arms around his shoulder. “Good girl,” he purred under his breath, and Devon and Diana looked at me, Diana having a wide grin on her face and Devon making an irritated sound with his eyes rolling. Diana’s teasi
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]I didn’t know how to feel after seeing my husband wake up from his coma.There was something different in his eyes. The way he looked at me—that softness, the ache, the guilt that was etched on his face. I wondered if there was something that happened to him while he was unconscious. Did something hit him on the head? It made me worried.From the corner of my eyes, I saw how Dominic stole short glances at me. And when I caught him, he would smile sweetly with those strange emotions swimming in his soft, hazel eyes. I wanted to ask. I wanted to know if he saw anything in his coma that could help end this. But if something did, I knew Dominic would tell me.Killian suddenly vanished, drawing the enemies away as we fled that part of the woods. We needed to look for him so we could all go home alive. Something happened to my friend, but deep within me, I believe he wasn’t among those evil beasts. He was still Killian. The Alpha of the Moonstone pack. My friend.
