Chapter 152
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“What’s happening, Dominic?” I asked him, eyes wide as I saw his face full of dread.
He seemed confused when he stared at me blankly as if he could see something other than me. The terror had spread in his mind like dark ink, contaminating him with thoughts of murder. That confusion turned into panic, panic into rage, and rage into despair.
“Dominic?” I asked him again as I started to feel worried and scared for him. I had never seen him lose control over his emotions like this. “What happened? What happened to the southern border? What do you mean about your relatives—”
“I have to go, love.” Dominic was not himself when he walked away from me and shifted into his werewolf form. I watched him run towards the southern part of the village and didn’t glance back even for a second.
That’s how grave the situation was.
“I have to go there...” I murmured to myself as I watched my husband fade away from my view and head back to the house to inform Madison that she and the kids had to go to Liam’s home. Devon and Diana weren’t happy about the idea that I had to leave them again, so I knelt in front of them and put my hands on both of their shoulders.
Filled with guilt, I kissed both of their foreheads. “I have to go after Dominic, kids. I have to make sure everything will be okay and no enemies can enter the borders again. It’s for your safety. I will not let anyone hurt or take you away from us again.”
“We will go with you,” Diana pouted with fear in her eyes. “Don’t leave us again, Mom!”
I helplessly looked at Madison, and she understood the anxiety on my face as she knelt on Diana and pinched her chubby cheek. “It’s okay, baby girl. We can play with Beta Liam’s niece and nephew while we stay there. Mama has to do her duty as the Luna of the pack. Someday, you will understand...”
Diana’s eyes were teary when she stared at me and did a gentle nod. Devon was silent beside her and stayed brave as he nodded at me, telling me he understood the situation.
“Thank you so much,” I whispered to both of them and embraced them tightly. “I will be back as soon as I can. I will call Liam to take you into his home. And please...” I looked at Devon and Diana with pleading eyes. “Don’t try to run away this time?”
