The Wolfless Luna's Revenge: Returning With His Secret Twins Chapter 137

[DEVONS’s Point of View]

“Devon, I have a terrible feeling about what is happening right now.”

I looked at Diana as she combed the hair of her doll, which Liam brought to her yesterday. It’s been days since we last saw Mom, and we were both starting to feel worried about her and Dominic. What was going on with them? I heard from the guards outside that there was an attack happening at the eastern gates, and a wall there collapsed from a giant explosion. Diana and I just assud Mom and Dominic were busy controlling the matter while they assured Diana and were safe in Beta Liam’s household.

Beta Liam hasn’t left the house since Dominic asked him to bring us here. Perhaps Diana’s feelings were right? Well, based on our past adventures, she was usually right, though. And that made even more concerned for Mom’s safety.

“We should trust them, Diana. Mom said she will be okay, right?” I said to her, but I wasn’t sure if I could convince her when I couldn’t convince myself either. “We promised them both we would not do anything reckless after we almost died in that dungeon.”

“But sothing’s not right.” she was looking restless as her shoulders drooped and then threw her doll on the side, which surprised a little because she was obsessing over it for, like, the whole day. “I can feel Mommy’s in danger and my stomach confirms it.”

“Perhaps you’re just hungry, Diana. Do you want to call Madison so she can prepare us food?”

I knew what she was saying. I could feel it as well. That twisting, uncomfortable feeling when there was sothing wrong, when you were scared and nervous. But we promised Dominic and Mom. Even though I was certain there was indeed sothing wrong happening outside the doors of this house, I preferred ignoring it for Diana’s safety. I wouldn’t put her in danger again, just like the last ti when I let my curiosity win over my instinct.

But just like Diana, it bothered to the point that I couldn’t focus on my howork.

I closed my eyes tightly, trying to ignore the feeling and Diana’s heavy sigh and her mumblings. My ears were ringing and I felt uneasy and strange, and my chest was heavy that I could barely breathe—

Frustrated and confused with my feelings, I slamd my pencil against my desk and Diana almost jumped from the bed as she looked at wide-eyed and surprised.

“Are you okay, Devon? Does your tummy hurt as well?” she asked, bewildered and worried.

“You know what? I think you are right. I think there is sothing wrong that is happening with Mom.” I said to Diana with a heavy chest. “I think we should go to find out.”

Her eyes widened again in fear, but then, as she stared at and saw the determination on my face, her shoulders relaxed, and then she sighed deeply, “We promised them, right?”

“Yes, we did. But we can’t just stay here and do nothing, Diana. No one is telling us what is happening, and we don’t know where Mom is!” I answered furiously, “Can you stay here and just wait for Dominic? He’s been away for over a week, and we don’t know what’s happening to Mom. What if she’s in danger? What if she were kidnapped again? What if she’s—”

“Oh my goddess, Devon, calm down,” Diana approached and then placed her hands on my shoulders, shaking gently, “We can’t do this if you’re panicking like a little girl!”

“I am not panicking like a little girl!” I grimaced at her, but she was right. I was panicking. My eyes were a little teary because I knew what would happen next.

Diana narrowed her eyes at suspiciously. “Sure you’re not,” she answered with a flat voice, and I did my best to swallow down the sob that was trying to escape from my swelling throat.

She then gently patted my head with a soft smile on her face as she whispered, “There, there, sweet Devon. Don’t cry.”

“Do you think we should go and find Dominic and Mom by ourselves?” I asked, observing the serious look on Diana’s face. She was always the intuitive one between us, and I trusted her decisions more than mine.

“We can try.” It was a safe answer for my twin, but I knew what she ant. She also wanted to go and find out what was happening.

We both stared at each other and nodded in unison.

Going out of the house was never easy.

Liam was always on the phone, so he was basically staying in his office the entire day, and it was already dark. My poor best friend was still buried with hundreds of pieces of paperwork piled on his table, which Diana and I took advantage of as a good opportunity to get out of his place.

But Madison was always busy in the kitchen, where the back door was.

“Hi, Madison.”

My eyes widened when Diana approached her with a casual smile. I didn’t know what was in my twin’s mind, but I trusted her with her plans. Madison smiled back at her when my twin approached her, and then Diana whispered sothing to the babysitter, which made curious and nervous.

As soon as Madison heard what Diana wanted, she imdiately left and went straight into the room Liam had prepared for both of us.

“What did you say to her?” I hissed at Diana as soon as we got out of the back door and ran straight into the woods.

“I just asked her to look for sothing for ,” she answered with a worried face. “She and Liam will find out soon that we’re gone, so we should probably run as fast as we can and hide our presence from anyone.”

“You’re a genius, Diana!” I laughed at my twin, and she just shrugged her shoulders. I grimaced when she then flipped her hair sassily on her back, though, looking so proud of herself.

As we got deeper into the forest, sothing weird happened. I didn’t know if it was just , but I was hearing strange noises, and I started to feel worried. I pushed Diana behind as I looked around sharply, searching for any danger around us.

“What is it, Devon?” Diana asked with a trembling voice as she saw how my eyes narrowed in the middle of the darkness. “Did you hear that?”

“I thought it was just ,” I whispered to her cautiously as I looked around, my arms protectively spread for my sister. “I can feel we are not alone in here. Sothing is whispering in my ear, but I can’t understand the words. It’s more like mumblings.”

“I can hear it too!” Diana hissed back, scared and nervous. She hid behind with her knees trembling. “Should we head back? Do you still rember the path where we ca from?”

“No. It’s too late to go back.” I said to her as I held her hand and we continued walking through the dark forest. With my werewolf eyes, everything was clear and vivid. I knew the way back to Liam’s house, but I had to lie to Diana because we needed to go find Mom. There was no stopping us now.

There was rustling of leaves and branches near us, and Diana and I almost scread in total fright when a white rabbit jumped in the middle of our way and stared at us with crimson eyes.

“Diana, stop! You make dizzy!” I hissed at her when she shook violently out of shock and fear as she closed her eyes tight. “Calm down!”

“I am so scared, Devon! We have to go back!” She begged with tears brimming in her eyes.

“Mom is out there and she is in danger, Diana.” I held her by both shoulders and steadied her, wanting her to look straight in the eyes to calm her down. “We have to make sure she is safe, and we will head back ho after that.”

Diana understood what I ant, so she put on a brave face and wiped her tears with the back of her hands. “Okay. But this is the last ti, okay? I am really scared.”

“Don’t worry,” I smiled at her as I patted her head gently, “I am here to protect you little sis.”
