Chapter 182
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
When we arrived at the gates of the Silver Crescent territory, Dominic made sure the healers and the Omega servants of the Pack Manor took care of me and the children first.
As much as I wanted to talk to him and know what was in his head and why he just suddenly shut himself off from me, I couldn’t because he went straight to his office and went to look for Liam.
I wanted to feel angry. I wanted to confront him about what’s going on with him and why he suddenly went cold to me after everything that happened in the Black Forest. I wanted to know if I did wrong or if I did something that he didn’t like. But then my fears held me back. What if he came back to the old him—the cruel, heartless guy that made me suffer for so many years? What if he changed his mind again and doesn’t want to be with me anymore after so many problems I bought in his pack?
Should I stay? Or should I run away again?
After the healers made sure I was in my best condition and made sure the Alpha’s bedroom was clean and comfortable for me to have my rest, they all made their leave so I could sleep peacefully. Only it was hard for me to sleep as my anxiety slowly tortured me. I pulled myself up from the bed and walked towards the window, glad that we were home but worried about what was wrong again with my husband.
I couldn’t go and face Brianne. I heard her voice outside my room while the healers were busy checking on my injuries, asking the guards if she could see me. I felt bad that I felt relieved the guards didn’t let her in. I had no courage to face her yet and tell everything that happened to her mate.
I looked outside the window and then looked up at the perfect full moon in the clear, starry sky. How could I explain to her all the terrible things I saw after Killian revealed to me that he wasn’t really there to help us find the tomb but to lure us to be killed by the enemies?
However, a part of me remained unconvinced that Killian was entirely aligned with the enemies. He could have killed us all there in the cave—helped the giant beast in that underground lake to annihilate us all there. Or when the ancient library collapsed and Dominic and I were buried underneath all that rubble and debris. Or after Dominic fell into a coma while I and the kids were there in the bone cage coated with silver poison.
There was something strange happening and I couldn’t understand why Killian had to do this. What was his reason? Did Brianne know anything about this? Did he mention to her that something was changing in him? That something was pushing him or convinced him to join the Fang Trinity?
