Chapter 158
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
It was as if my body moved on its own.
The second I saw the purplish-black cloud of smoke, I knew instantly what would happen.
I lunge away from Killian, who was trying his best to protect me from the corpses after Dominic was forced to ram them out just to make sure none of them would ever touch me, scared that another supernatural thing would happen. I bet my husband had enough of that sh*t already.
But I would never let Olivia take the diadem! After what she did to Devon and Diana, there was no way I would let her win!
“Samantha, no!”
Despite my husband’s warning, I still went after Olivia and put all my strength into my legs as I jumped towards her at a speed that even Dominic failed to follow. The head of the statue was destroyed and crumbled into pieces after I snatched the diadem before Olivia could. Her ear-splitting scream of rage filled the hall, and Killian and Dominic immediately ran towards me. My husband’s hands were gentle on my arms as he helped me get up, and then he glared at Olivia.
“THAT IS MINE, SAMANTHA! GIVE IT BACK!”
“Nothing here is yours, Olivia Bennette!” Dominic barked at her as he shot her a deadly glare. His hazel eyes glowed in the darkness as his Alpha power awakened in rage. “You will pay for what you did to my children! You and your father! You are both traitors and enemies of the Silver Pack!”
“I don’t f*cking care about any of you!” Olivia snarled at Dominic, and her fierce retort surprised me. It was as if she was possessed by something and wasn’t the same Olivia who was desperate for my husband’s attention for so many years. “Just f*cking give my diadem back and I will let you get out of this place alive!”
Killian scoffed, “Don’t make me laugh, Olivia. Do you hear yourself? You are starting to sound like a lunatic, like your father.”
“You don’t know what you are doing!” Olivia snarled as she bared her perfect, sharp teeth at us. Her slender body looked thinner than the last time I saw her. The dark bags under her eyes and the lines on her forehead made her a few years older, and I wondered why Olivia had to suffer like the others for a thing that was never meant for her.
