Chapter 145
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“DOMINIC, NO!”
But it was too late for me to stop him.
I thought my soul left my body when Dominic and the leader of the tribal pack clashed and both of them rolled to the ground, reaching for each other’s necks. The minions around them stepped back, watching the powerful warriors exchange lethal attacks with wide, terrified eyes. I couldn’t do anything. I was in total panic as I knelt at the mouth of the small cavity on the wall of the cave.
[Don’t you dare go down here, Samantha![ he snarled in my head as he received a deep gash on the side of his torso, making me grimace in pain as I felt it through the bond. [I need you to stay there.]
My heart and mind were fighting over whether I would dive down and help my husband or stay where I was hiding, just as he wanted. I knew Dominic would be furious if I went down there, but did I have a choice? Just as I told him, if he dies, I die. So I sucked in a deep breath between my teeth and glared at the leader of the pack, waiting for a good chance to lunge at myself and land a critical hit on the beast.
But it wasn’t that easy. Dominic and the leader of the tribe were so fast that I could barely follow them, even with my werewolf eyes. That’s when I felt awed by the power a real Alpha had. Dominic was indeed one of the most powerful Alphas on the continent. Despite the size and the enormous ancient dark power the enemy had, Dominic could fight back without a struggle, like his own power was adjusting, arising, and developing as they dodged and exchanged deadly strikes on each other.
As my eyes adapted to their speed, that’s when I felt a tick, and my body just moved on its own.
It was like a burning furnace in my chest. That power that Brianne awakened in me felt like a wildfire spreading all over my body as I shifted to my werewolf form. I saw how all of their eyes looked at me as if they had seen a goddess. My fur shining and glimmering in the darkness like the wings of the butterflies I saw in the forest.
[DOMINIC!]
