Chapter 25
Dominic’s POV
The phone rang three times before Liam picked up.
"Alpha," he uttered. He knew better than to expect a casual conversation when I called.
"I need answers, Liam," I said, pacing the length of my office. My mind felt like it was tearing itself apart with a tangle of suspicion, memories, and unanswered questions. "Did you find anything about the twins yet? Who their father is?"
A pause. Too long. And it ticked my nerves.
“We’re digging, Alpha," Liam replied. "Killian’s pack records are airtight. No mention of the twins in any formal capacity. It is like they do not exist on paper."
I slammed my hand down on the desk and the sharp sound echoed through the room. "That’s not good enough, search the hospitals in his area, Liam. I need every single piece of information about them."
Liam sighed on the other end. "I’ll see what more we can do, Alpha. But Killian’s pack is notoriously private. You know that."
My jaw tightened. I did not care how private Killian was. I needed to know the truth.
"I do not want excuses," I snapped. "I want results. Check every pack within a hundred-mile radius if you have to. Someone knows something."
"Yes, Alpha," Liam replied before the line went dead.
The silence that followed was suffocating, choking me with anxiety. I dropped the phone onto the desk and pressed the heels of my hands against my temples, trying to silence the thoughts in my head. Ever since I met the twins, they had never left my mind anymore. Their cute bubbly faces, the little girl reminded me of Samantha’s soft features, and the boy... Damn it, I did not even have the chance to know their names. I should be ignoring all these, because why would I bother? Those kids were probably another man’s blood. But... They may have their mother’s eyes, but the boy’s features gave it away. I might be crazy to say that I resembled him.
