Chapter 73
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
I didn’t sleep well last night.
The idea of moving to Silver Crescent Pack was a huge risk, not just for me but for the kids as well. I didn’t know what to expect. I knew we weren’t completely welcome there, and it was selfish of me to move the kids when Devon and Diane were comfortable with the Moonstone territory. But it was the right thing to do to avoid more damage between me and Killian. If we keep on staying here and the council and the pack members find out I was having a connection with the Silver Crescent Alpha, I will be branded a traitor to the pack. There’s no way I would risk my neck and make my children motherless because I was being careless and indecisive.
It was the only way to move forward and start a new life with Dominic.
I just wish I wouldn’t regret this decision.
Shut up with your hesitations, woman. You saw how our mate’s eyes lit the moment you told him about this. My wolf chided me. We can’t change our minds now.
I almost rolled my eyes and exhaled in exasperation, but I remembered I was with Annie in my room helping me put my things in the boxes. I asked Dominic not to rush me with this, but I decided that if the time came that we needed to do it, at least my things were ready.
“I hope Alpha Killian will allow you to make this decision,” Annie said to me, knowing that Killian won’t make this easy for me after rejecting the Alpha’s feelings and choosing his nemesis instead. “I am worried about the twins. I have a feeling the situation will not be easy for them.”
I drew out a deep breath as I folded a shirt and threw it inside a box. “We can’t stay here anymore, Annie. It’s too dangerous for the kids. Once the Moonstone people find out about me and Dominic, we will be in grave danger. And I don’t think Killian could help us if that happens because that’s one of the rules of the pack. Traitors are bound to die and I have no plan of dying because of staying here.”
Annie nodded as she understood that all my fears made sense. "Yeah, that’s pretty scary to think about,” she commented with terrified eyes as we continued folding clothes and organizing things in boxes. “But Smanatha, I can tell you are truly happy with the Silver Crescent Alpha.”
