Masuk~Samantha~By the time we returned to Silver Crescent Pack, Reynold met us with about twenty warriors. Took one look at our condition and started barking orders."Medical team to the front entrance! Get stretchers." He stopped mid-sentence when he saw Killian. "What happened to him?""Curse acceleration. Arrow wound. General stupidity." Dominic was still half-supporting Killian de
~Samantha~"And as their father, my opinion and commands doesn’t count." His voice was flat. "Alright then, they can stay with us but when bad things happen, don’t say I didn’t warn you three.""Thank you, Dad." Devon wiped his face. "We promise we'll fight harder than last time.""Not when you are still a baby." Dominic's Alpha tone came out. "I’m only let
~Samantha~"Everyone still breathing? Can we get going now?" Lila was the only one who looked fine and seemed eager to leave. "Or do we have to wait till Alpha Dominic says so?" She shot him a side eye. "Good enough to walk for a couple of minutes." I managed."As long as my curse doesn’t take over, I’m good." Killian coughed.
~Samantha~Killian spun. Caught a blade aimed at his back. Twisted the attacker's wrist until bones snapped.But he was breathing too hard. Moving too slow. The curse was burning through him and fighting was accelerating it."Killian, fall back!"
~Samantha~I bit the insides of my jaw while nervously waiting for him to come back. I knew he would but I couldn’t stop imagining the worse case scenarios. This was my idea and he kicked against it so I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if anything happened to him. But about a couple of minutes later, I heard a deep voice that sent an instant relief through me. "Okay, coast is clear for now but I want everyone to stay close." Dominic's voice echoed weird off the stone walls. "No wandering about or bickering." He directed his last words to the twins and they giggled mischievously.“Daddy is serious.” I warned them as we went into the passage. "Just keep walking straight, don’t touch anything or look for too long." I tried to sound calm. "All of these nightmares will be over soon.""How do you know that, Mom?" Devon asked.I didn't. But saying "I have no idea and we might be walking into a death trap" seemed counterproductive."Because these passages were built for quick escapes.
~Devon~"No, we are not going to die like in the movies because of curiosity." Dad grabbed her arm. "We're not following a mystery passage into potential danger. We're taking the relics and leaving.""This could lead us to Black Moon's hideout!" Mom pulled her arm free. "We can't just ignore it!""We can and we will. The twins almost died today. Killian's possessed. You're an emot
Dominic’s POV“You’d better not move an inch, Dominic. I’ll be there in a few minutes,” Killian snapped through the mind link. How ungrateful, I found the kids yet he did not even sound grateful for it. If I would have the choice, I could take these twins on my own and not return them to him.I bit ba
Samantha’s POV“Mommy, look! I made a butterfly!” Diana exclaimed, as she held up her craft project — a messy combination of glitter, glue, and construction paper.“That’s beautiful, sweetheart,” I said, crouching down to admire her creation. Devon sat nearby with his tiny hands busy assembling what l
Dominic’s POVI stood there as she left. The urge to go after her nearly consumed me, but something stopped me, a bitter mix of shame and realization of the fact that I hurt her, that I pushed her away, and now, she did not want anything to do with me.I had no right to demand anything from her. Not a
Killian’s POVI kept my hand resting lightly on Diana’s shoulder as we walked through the corridor, ensuring she stayed close. She was a handful, that much was clear, but there was something charming about her boldness and quick wit. Beside her, Devon trailed behind quietly, his gaze darting around a
