Chapter 165
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“We have no choice but to go back to the Black Forest.”
Everyone gave me a dreaded look, and Dominic didn’t seem happy with my decision. He and Killian looked at me like I had just said the most ridiculous thing.
“I hope you are joking, Sam.” Killian grimaced at the idea as he shook his head, his hands resting on his hips. “We barely escaped the last time we went there. And there’s no way you will bring the kids there! It’s f*cking dangerous! We don’t know what is waiting for us there! Black Claws and Fang Trinity want the three of you dead, and they would do everything to ensure you won’t be able to come back here in Silver Crescent!”
“Why do you want to go back to the Black Forest, Samantha? Do you think we can find your mother’s body in there?” Liam asked as he stared at me as if he was reading whatever was on my face. As if trying to figure out what was in my head. “You know that it’s dangerous to go beyond the walls. Do you know anything that can lead us to your mother’s body?”
Dominic’s eyes were on me the whole time as he tapped on his chin and stared at me deeply, waiting for me to say what I knew about everything that was happening. And it scared me that I couldn’t explain it without them thinking I was going insane.
“Dominic, remember that part in the Black Forest where trees or grass don’t grow? The altar that is made of stone? That’s where we need to go.”
“What’s in that place, Samantha? What are we going to go there for?” Killian asked, getting a little impatient.
“I know you feel pressured by the situation because of Brianne, Killian. But you won’t go with us. It will be just me, Dominic, and the kids.”
Liam and Killian’s eyes widened in protest.
“No way you are going out there, endangering your life and the kids, Samantha!” Killian disagreed as he stepped forward, but Dominic blocked him from getting anywhere near me.
“You are forgetting she will be with me.” Dominic snarled at Killian and then raised an eyebrow at Liam.
