Chapter 176
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“The key... the crown... believe me...”
I couldn’t take my eyes away from Dominic, who was still unconscious on the floor, his head shaking gently as he murmured the words in repeat. I wanted to check on him, to feel his sweaty face with my hand but Devon and Diana were around me, wrapping their arms around me as they trembled in fear.
“How are we going to get out of here, Mom? What happened? Where’s the cabin?” Devon asked as soon as he recovered from what happened to him. I pulled his face closer to mine to check on him more thoroughly, and I noticed that he was still pale with slightly purplish lips, which made my heart sink into my stomach.
“We’ll look for a way how to get out of this cage, sweetheart. I just need you to stay with your twin, and both of you, watch over your Dad, okay? I’ll go help your uncle Killian.”
Diana held me tight as she buried her face on my thigh. ”No, Mom. PLease just stay here with us. I am scared!”
Devon looked at his twin sister and then at me with worry. He knew I needed to help Killian figure out how we could break free from this place. So he took Diana’s hands from me and then embraced her while smiling at his sister, saying, "It’s okay, Diana. I am here beside you. Mom just needs to do something so we can finally go home.”
A soft smile escaped from my lips as Devon gave me a short, serious look on his face, telling me he got his sister. I couldn’t believe how quickly he matured after moving here to Silver Crescent. At the same time, it made me feel so guilty and sad because they shouldn’t be experiencing things like this.
But then they are werewolves. They came from a powerful bloodline and from a strong Clan of Alphas that had been ruling this part of the continent. They were destined for bigger things and this will shape them into powerful leaders one day.
If it was the Moon Goddess’ will, then I will do my very best to protect them with my life.
I mouthed to my son, "Thank you," and then walked towards Killian, who was studying the bones in front of him, looking for that part where he could easily destroy it without burning himself. We noticed that the bones weren’t just ordinary bones but were also coated with silver, a cage that made sure no werewolf would ever get out from it.
“This is harder than I think it is,” Killian said softly, not wanting the kids to hear the despair in his voice.
