Chapter 101
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“I’m sorry if we have to head back so soon. I know you still have so many questions you want to ask Ethan, but Madison already texted me that the kids are looking for me.”
“You shouldn’t feel bad about it, love. I know you want to focus on this matter as well. But the kids are important too. And after you were gone for days, Diana and Devon became too worried when they couldn’t see you the whole day.”
“It’s alright, Dominic.” I held his hand after he stopped the car in the garage of the pack house. “The kids are still anxious from what happened and you’re right. The kids should always come first, then I can focus on the rest once I make sure they are well and safe.”
“I’ll go with you inside—”
“No. You should go straight to Liam and check what happened to the eastern borders. I have a feeling he needs you there badly.” I squeezed his hand and gave my mate a firm look. “I will be alright. I am already inside the manor so there’s nothing to worry about for my safety, love. You don’t have to follow me the whole day.”
He looked at me, still hesitating to go to his Beta. “I just want to make sure it won’t happen again, love. If only you didn’t stop me from tearing Ethan apart; he’s already a corpse rotting and lying on that old building.”
“I told you why you can’t do that—yet.” I gave him a warning look. “I don’t want you to kill him yet, not because I still think he’s my best friend. He’s not anymore, Dominic. We need him because he’s the only intel we have to know what is really going on. He knows something awful and dangerous will happen to Silver Crescent. And me and the kids—”
“I won’t let anything bad happen to you and the kids, Samantha. If it means I have to keep you all close to me just to make sure no one can hurt you again, I will.” His eyes sharpened and his hands tightened their grip on the steering wheel. I understood the frustration he felt and how hopeless and desperate he was when I was abducted by my idiot Gamma friend and I couldn’t blame him if he was paranoid all the time about me and the kids, knowing there was a serious threat in our lives.
“But Liam needs you at the borders, Dominic. You can’t leave this matter to him. You heard how anxious he is.”
