Chapter 27
Dominic’s POV
“Tell me you have something,” I said, leaning back in my chair as Liam stepped in, taking my attention away from the file spread across my desk.
Liam cleared his throat. “I tracked down some details about the twins.”
My fingers drummed against the desk as I waited. He always dragged out the bad news like it would soften the blow, but it never did. It was only prolonging the agony and anticipation to hear something positive, only to end up delivering bad news.
“They are under the foster care of a human nanny, that alone was certain.” Liam finally said. “Her name’s Annie. Beyond that, nothing substantial. There is no confirmed information about their mother.”
A human nanny? My jaw tightened. That did not align with anything I knew about Samantha. She was many things, but reckless was not one of them. She would not just leave the children in the care of some random human. But, if that was the case, then they might not be her children, because she would not be that stupid to leave the werewolf pups to humans.
Nevertheless, I pressed. “And their father?”
“Nothing.” Liam’s gaze shifted. “From the outside, they appear... fostered, maybe. But there’s no solid proof of anything. It is like someone intentionally erased the trail.”
My mind spun as I thought it through. Samantha had vanished into thin air years ago, and now, out of nowhere, these twins appear with no past. It was not just convenient; it was suspicious.
“And Killian?” I asked, though I already knew the answer.
“We do not know yet for sure. However, I have noticed that his men and his territory were tightened. His people’s lips were more sealed now, not even a gossip came from them anymore. It is no doubt that he is protective of the twins.”
Of course, he was. Killian had been circling Samantha for years, a vulture waiting for his moment. My lips curled into a sneer. “Killian does not protect unless there is something worth protecting.”
