Chapter 122
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
I got home so exhausted that I didn’t even make it to my room.
I slumped on the sofa after I threw my bag on the floor, grunting in headache as I buried my face in the throw pillow. I was hungry, but I had no energy to go to the kitchen to get some food. What time did I last eat? Last night? I couldn’t even remember if I ate breakfast. All I had was water throughout the day while I tried to focus on finding that symbol in the library.
My head ached more as I remembered Dominic and Killian’s bickering. I was thrilled to see my friend again after I left the Moonstone Pack. But I understood, too, that Dominic was still threatened whenever Killian was around me, and I couldn’t blame him if he still felt very possessive when I was with the Moonstone Alpha.
And I couldn’t believe Dominic felt that way when he couldn’t get rid of Olivia even after she tried to kill me in front of him.
The thought brought a heavy feeling to my chest. The disappointment, fear, and anger spiraled down into my stomach, making me so sick the whole day. All I wanted was for Olivia to be kicked out of the pack! Dominic saw her and her hired assassins attacked me! I was poisoned by silver blades from their claws and remained oblivious to what happened. Was it because he still had feelings for Olivia? Was he trying to still keep her in the pack?
Dominic switching the topic from Olivia to the symbol he saw in my mother’s diary is just a sign that he’s trying to avoid the issue, and that gave me a bitter feeling. A feeling I never thought would bring back all the awful memories I had with Dominic as the cold, ruthless man I had ever known my whole life.
I closed my eyes as I suppressed the sob that wanted to escape from my throat. I would rather not cry anymore over a memory I shouldn’t have remembered. Dominic had changed. He had become a better person, and most importantly, he loved me. My heart knew that he loved me so much and the kids, and the happiness I saw in his eyes was so genuine that it sometimes overwhelmed my heart.
And I love him. I chose to be with him despite all the backlash I received from the people who hated me from the start. The people who think I was not good enough to be the Luna of the pack and who supported Olivia with her plans over Dominic and the pack.
