Chapter 117
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“Why don’t you tell us what really happened, Samantha? Where did you drag the Alpha and he came here almost half-dead?!” asked one of the council members, baring his teeth at me. “What is really going on here?”
I ignored him and hissed at Olivia once again, my fists tightened, wanting to feel the skin off her face, “If you still love your life, Olivia, you take your hands off my husband.”
Three seconds passed while Olivia and I exchanged glares; Dominic finally moved and awkwardly took Olivia’s hand away from him. There was malice on Olivia’s face as she flinched from me and Dominic as she scoffed, looking so insulted that my husband didn’t choose her this time.
Then she gave me that evil grin as she lifted her face and looked at me arrogantly in the eyes. She uttered tauntingly, “You think you can hide everything from me, Samantha? Do you think I don’t know what’s happening here?”
I was stunned at what she said for a second, but I couldn’t let the council people see me looking disconcerted. “I have no idea what you are talking about, Olivia. Just go and do something useful. Not just poking around seducing someone’s husband.”
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock at the sharpness of my words, and Dominic held my hand, wanting me to ignore Olivia and leave the infirmary. “Come on, Samantha. This is not the time to do this—”
“No.” Olivia folded her arms on her chest as she gave me a sassy, superior look. “Let her talk. Do you think I am afraid of you, Samantha?” she scoffed and then tilted her head at me in a mocking grin, “You are a deserter to the pack and no matter what you do, nothing can change that.” She stepped closer to me and hissed, loud enough for me to hear, "Do you think I don’t know what secrets you are hiding about your kids?"
My eyes burned liquid gold as my body reacted to what she said, but Dominic was fast. He pushed me away from Olivia before my hands could even reach her and shatter her pretty face on the floor.
She giggled tauntingly before she left with the other council members. Aggravated, I pushed Dominic’s hand away from me and exhaled in exasperation, thankful that at least I had controlled myself. I never wanted to show any violence in front of the council, no matter how much I wanted to give Olivia one smack on the face.
