Chapter 136
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“How long are we going to stay here?”
I was frowning while looking outside the window. It was already dark, and the whole forest was filled with the nocturnal sounds—from soft noises and gentle rustling of branches and leaves to the snarling and screaming of wild beasts in the heart of the pitch-dark woodlands.
“I have to go back and see Devon and Diana, Killian. I can’t stay here any longer and just hide like a coward. If they want me dead, then let them fight me. I can fight back. I am not the weak wolf you used to know before. I know how to protect myself now.” I said to him with a grave look on my face.
Killian was still sitting on the bench and didn’t even leave or move from it, scared that I might run away straight to my enemies. He knew me so well. He knew I would do anything just to get to my kids, even if it meant I had to risk my life just to know they were safe.
He frowned back at me, but there was anxiety etched on his face as he leaned his back against the edge of the table and then sighed heavily. “You know I can’t let you go away from here, Sam. It’s too dangerous. Once Olivia and her minions find you, they will kill you on sight. I would never let that happen.”
“I told you I can fight—”
“Yes, I believe you can fight, Sam.” he looked unhappy with my stubborn reply, “But you barely survived the last time you were pinned down by fifteen wolf-men during that time you were spying on Olivia. If Dominic didn’t come for you—”
I was baffled that he knew about it as well. “How did you know that, Killian?! What else do you know about what is going on here in Silver Crescent?”
He shrugged his shoulder and then smirked, “Well, my intel inside is excellent, so I guess I know a lot more than you do. I must tell you, Silver Crescent is no longer a safe place for you and the twins. I want to go inside and get them myself, but it would be impossible for me to enter the gates again. After they found out you were missing, they had tripled the guards on the gates and had been searching for you all over the forest.”
