The Wolfless Luna's Revenge: Returning With His Secret Twins Chapter 166

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“What the—”

The tension in my body disappeared, replaced by surprise and confusion, when I recognized the tall, muscular figure stepping out of an ancient oak tree.

Dominic’s eyes widened in aggravation as he stepped before us and snarled at Killian. “What the f*ck are you doing here, Killian?! I thought it was clear that it should be only and Samantha who are going to deal with this!”

“You don’t tell what to do, Dominic!” Killian scowled at my husband, but when he looked at , his expression softened; he appeared apologetic and was seeking understanding as he stood up from his crouched position and let out a heavy sigh. “I ca here because Brianne told you would need my help. I have no plan to just stand and wait in your place while all of you are facing danger. I have sensed what is inside the underground cave, and there’s no way you would go there without .”

Killian stared at as if I were the one who had to make all these decisions instead of my husband, which angered Dominic. I squeezed Devon and Diana against and then glanced at my back, where the tunnel was. I knew what Killian was saying. I felt it deep inside my flesh and vibrating through my bones. The darkness that lingered in that place gave a tightening feeling in the stomach and gave goosebumps like little black spiders crawling on my bare skin.

“Samantha!” Killian cried as he gave Dominic a glare when my husband growled at him. “You know you need here! You know how dangerous the thing inside that place is! I am just worried about you and the kids! Brianne is worried!”

“Are you saying I am not enough to handle this?” Dominic snarled at Killian, his eyes filled with rage as he stepped forward, threatening to push him away. “Get the f*ck out of here.”

My heart began to race in response. The wind started to blow violently, and the twins started to feel scared as they buried their faces against . The trees shook around us, and branches creaked. A murder of crows flew from the sky; their echoing cries were like a warning that we had to hurry or it would be too late.

But too late for what?

“Just let him go with us, Dominic! We have no ti!” I cried to my husband as I pressed my kids against into a tight embrace, shielding them from the strong wind. “We have to go! Now!”

There was a faint light pulsing inside the tunnel, catching all of our attention. Dominic made an angry sound but started to walk to the mouth of the cave and then glanced at from the corner of his eye. In a low voice, he said, “Keep yourself and the kids close to , love. We don’t know what is waiting for us inside, so make your senses stay sharp and never run anywhere, no matter what.”

He took Diana from , and Diana wrapped her arms around her Dad. She gave one worried look before they disappeared from my sight after Dominic jumped down the tunnel.

“Do we have to go down there?” Devon asked in his trembling voice as he wrapped his arms around my neck as well, burying his face on my shoulder. “I’m scared!”

“We won’t let anything bad happen to you,” I whispered to my son and gave Killian a short nod as I watched him jump down as well.

“Here we go now, Devon. Close your eyes, son.”

I took in a deep breath, filling my lungs with air as we lunged deep into the tunnel. My stomach flattened in terror as I realized how high its mouth was from the ground, and that’s when my mind started to panic. I braced myself as I tightened my arms around my son. Where’s Dominic? Was he safe with Diana? I couldn’t reach him through our mate bond, and my son and I were plumting down so fast I didn’t have enough ti to scream.

The next thing I knew was the violent impact on my feet, and a few seconds later, Devon and I were already underwater.

Seeing my son’s shocked face, I instinctively kicked hard to reach the surface.

“Dominic!” I scread as soon as I got out of the water with Devon in my arms. My whole body was trembling as the water trickled down my face and my soaked clothes. “Dominic!”

“Samantha!” from behind , Dominic approached with Diana in his arms; both of them were wet as well. My husband embraced the three of us tightly and kissed and the twins with fear and relief on his face.

“We’re okay,” I murmured to him, tears rolling down my face. “We’re all okay, my love.”

“Okay,” he cleared his throat and then blinked sothing fast from his eyes as he stared at and then at the kids. “Let’s get this done. Let’s do what we need to do and then get out of this place!”

Sothing in my heart lted when I saw that raw emotion on my husband’s face the mont he saw and Devon. I had never seen such fear in his eyes before. I had never witnessed Dominic run to as if losing was his greatest fear of all.

Killian’s voice rang in our ears.

“RUN!”

Dominic and I didn’t know what he was screaming about until we both saw a gigantic smoke, perhaps a shadow that soared from the midst of the lake like a kraken.

My body froze in fear, and it was Dominic who gave Diana and then ran straight to the shadow together with Killian.

“Dominic, no!”

“Keep the kids safe, Samantha!” he scread back. His eyes were sharp, and he was in his full Alpha mode when he crouched in front of the shadow. “We will do our best to stop this thing! Go and do what you need to do, Samantha! We will hold this back as long as we can!”

Killian and Dominic shifted to their werewolf form. Black and silver were like the balance this world needed. I pulled my children towards , making sure they were safe as I looked around, my heart racing and my head pulsing. Where was that light? Where did it go!? I breathed hard, trying to fill my lungs with air. We were trembling. Freezing, My whole body was aching and I didn’t know what I should do next!

“Mom! What’s happening?!”

The ground shook until dust started to fall from the ceiling of the cave. In my panic, I stood up, carrying Diana and Devon on both of my hips, and then ran away from the lake where my husband and Killian were trying to drive away the monster that wanted to attack and the twins. To my horror, when I glanced back to check on them, one of the pointed tentacles of the beast moved so fast that Dominic didn’t have the ti to avoid it.

It pierced my husband’s shoulder and hung him up in mid-air.

“DOMINIC, NO!!!”

All the anger in swirled in my chest like a storm as I put Diana and Devon down, telling them to never run away anywhere. I lunged to save my husband and shifted to my wolf form, aiming for the tentacle that stabbed Dominic’s shoulder.

The beast had seen my plan and grabbed by one of its tentacles and hurled against the wall of the cave. Killian jumped behind , so I collided against him instead.

He had saved from shattered ribs, but Killian broke his hips and couldn’t get up after we both fell on the hard ground.

[Killian!]

[Go! Help Dominic! I’ll be fine!] he yelled at .

The adrenaline in gave so much focus that my eyes went to my husband, grinding my teeth in anger. I got up to my feet and ran straight to him again, and this ti, I was able to avoid the beast’s tentacle and sever the leg that pierced Dominic.

[The kids—] Dominic grunted as he fell after trying to get up from the ground. Crimson blood gushed out of his wound as he stood, trying to regain his balance. [You can’t leave them, Samantha.]

I turned my head and searched for my kids and found them sitting and hiding in a hollow part of the walls of the cave; both were trembling with terror. I glanced at Dominic, panting on the ground, and Killian, unable to stand due to fractured bones from the impact. I didn’t know what to do! Who to save first! My eyes were wide as I watched the beast stand to its full height, its head almost touching the ceiling of the vast cave. Its crimson eyes were glaring at , ready to send its sharp tentacles to shred to pieces.

Could it be the end of us all?

I swallowed hard as I stood and glared back at the monster.

No. I won’t let that thing hurt my family...
