Chapter 156
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“Samantha, no!”
I knew what I was doing was stupid. Stupid and dangerous. But I knew my kids were here. I could feel them! Their presence was felt throughout the entire place! My wolf told me to wait for my husband and Killian, but I had had enough of waiting! I had to know where they were! I had to save my kids and take them back home. Their terrified faces and screams for me filled my mind, causing my eyes to brim with tears and my chest to feel heavy.
“Sam, you can’t just go into places without being cautious! What if there is a trap!?” Killian snarled at me as they both got a grip on both of my wrists and pulled me back. “What if you die?!”
“You know I won’t let that happen. My kids need me!” I cried to him as sobs emerged from my throat. “Just f*cking let go of me. Both of you.”
Dominic understood the pain I felt, and he let go of my hand gently.
“Just don’t rush inside, love,” he pleaded as he caressed my face with solemn eyes. “Let me and Killian check the place first. We don’t know what is in this place yet. Killian is right. They might have set traps here, knowing we will come after the kids.”
I looked around the castle. It looked like a centuries-old building surrounded by vines, cracks, and fissures that made it look as if it would collapse from the ground. But the columns were huge and strong, and everything was made with marble, crystals, and precious metals, which made the whole structure shimmer when it was struck by silver moonlight. Above us was a grand crystal chandelier that illuminated the whole space, giving off soft, dim light, just enough for us to admire the surroundings.
In front of us was a grand staircase that led to the mezzanine floor. However, what caused the hairs on my nape to stand was the banner before us, which displayed the symbol of the Fang Trinity—a circle that displays an image of fire in the center, with two red snakes intertwined and facing each other at the top. The golden hexagon eyes shone in the shining moonlight.
“It’s them,” Killian murmured under his breath as he examined the symbol. “The Fang Trinity took them again.”
“I am not surprised at all.” Dominic snarled as he glared at the banner. His jaw stiffened until feathers appeared on it, impatience etched on his face as he flexed his fingers that were ready to tear his enemies into ribbons. “They’ve been after Devon and Diana since you moved here to Silver Crescent. If only I knew...”
I reached for my husband’s hand and squeezed it as I gave him a soft look in the eyes. “Nobody predicted all of these terrible things could happen to Silver Crescent, love. This is something that we couldn’t control. We tried everything we could... and we are still trying. But the kids need us. And we have to get them back as soon as possible...before they put their filthy hands on Devon and Diana.”
