Chapter 134
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“What’s this place?”
Killian stepped inside the cabin I didn’t know stood in the middle of the western forest of Silver Crescent. I had been silent the whole hour we were on the horse as Killian led me to this secret place, he said he had been using since he started hunting in this part of the forest.
I looked around the house. The woods looked old and moldy as the fresh, musky scent of them filled my nose. Everything in it was made of wood. The benches, the tables... There was no kitchen in this place.
Only a king-sized bed that made me a little conscious, which I was sure Killian felt as well.
“Uhh, I guess you have to stay here for a few days until this issue is solved, Samantha. Like I said, I won’t let you stay in that prison in the hands of those people who want you dead. I am not Dominic. I can bend the rules if I have to.
“You are risking your life and your people for helping me, you know that?” I said to him as I sat on the edge of the bed and felt its softness as I bounced slightly on it. The fur felt silky as I smoothed it with my hand. “You are being reckless, Killian. What would Brianne think after you took me out of prison? She must be worried.”
“We already talked about it,” he answered as he gazed into my eyes. Killian sat down on the bench in front of me and then leaned his back on the edge of the table with a heavy sigh. “Actually, it was she who sensed you were in danger, Sam. We both decided to get you out of that situation. After I learned what really happened and how you ended up in that situation, I came straight here."
“Brianne wants to save me?” I didn’t understand why it sounded funny. “I thought she hated me.”
“Well, she does,” Killian answered with a smile as he folded his arms on his chest. “But she’s not a bad person, Samantha. She saw in her vision that you suffer in Silver Crescent, and she wanted to help. She told me that Silver Crescent is filled with negative energy right now, and I need you and the children to get out of that place.”
I gazed at the grave expression on his face with worry. “You know I can’t do that. I can’t leave Dominic when so much is happening in Silver Crescent, Killian. It’s not about the place. It is about me and the kids. We brought this to Dominic’s pack, and I have to do something to stop this.”
He grimaced, “That’s f*cking b*llsh*t, Sam! You almost died in that dungeon, and you still want to go back!?”
