Chapter 169
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
[What do you think is on the other side of the tunnel?]
[I am not sure, Killian.] I answered the Moonstone Alpha as we headed to it. [But what I know is that there is something important behind that door. Whatever it is, it might be the key to the questions about my mom and this organization that wants all of us dead.]
The children were with their dad as they walked on each side of him, clutching his fine, silver fur. Diana still looked scared and anxious as she felt her father’s fur on the side of her flushed cheek for comfort. Devon walked with his back straight, his face painted with patience and courage. His small steps were so light that I barely heard them clacking on the floor, unlike his sister’s. Devon was definitely a hunter—a born leader and warrior that Silver Crescent needs one day.
[Is it not clear yet about what Brianne told you, why they wanted you dead?] Killian answered; his voice was soft enough for me to just hear through the mindlink, careful for the children not to hear. [You all are the key and direct descendants of the royal blood; your dad was the son of the former King. Your mother was a Royalty—an Alpha-Luna that once ruled these lands. That enormous power is the reason why they all want you dead. You are a threat to them, Samantha. A huge threat to them.]
Killian was right. It was the main reason why all of this happened. But then I frowned and glanced at him through the corner of my eyes; my voice was sharp but soft, not wanting Diana and Devon to hear that kind of conversation as well. [But what does Brianne mean about my mother’s corpse? Do you think she’s come back from the dead like everyone thinks? It sounds ridiculous and scary, but what if she did? What if she really came from the dead, Killian? What do these people need from my mom? Why did they disturb her from her grave?]
The Moonstone Alpha cleared his throat as he decided to focus his eyes on his way, avoiding my stare. [Even I freaked out when Brianne said that. She woke up and then screamed about it like a nightmare she had and it scared the sh*t out of me. She said it over and over as she embraced herself while rocking herself back and forth... I didn’t know what to do, so I bought her in Silver Crescent, forgetting that it was your coronation night. Then, when I saw you glow on that stage, everything suddenly made sense to me.]
I blinked. I really didn’t know exactly what to say to Killian. But then I had to say something. Anything that will assure him that everything will be alright, even though I wasn’t sure if we could all find the answers to all these mysterious things that were happening between me, my family, and Silver Crescent.
{We’ll find whatever is behind that door, Killian. We will know what mom’s involvement is in this. If Fang Trinity and Black Claws are the ones who stole my mom from her grave. I am scared of what answers we will find there, but we can’t stay like this anymore. We have to end this and bring peace to our people and the whole pack.]
Killian nodded gently, tugging the corner of his mouth for a side grin. [Yeah. I can’t wait to end all of this and go home.]
