Chapter 116
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
I was so terrified.
My whole body was trembling with fear, but I managed to hide it from Dominic. I wasn’t afraid of the werewolf that my husband had just defeated, but rather I was nervous that if I had arrived a little later than I did, I would never have seen him alive again.

It was one of the Gamma sentinels who saw us as we arrived at the gates.

I can’t let those criminals harm me or my twins! If it means I can show them my real power, then I will. I will fight and kill if I have to!”
“You don’t know what you are doing—”
