Chapter 186
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“So you are saying this can be the key to whatever is inside that sarcophagus?” I asked Dominic, wondering. If this was what Olivia had wanted so badly, then how come they hadn’t found what was inside this mausoleum? Could it be that there was something that was stopping her or not letting her get inside this place? Could the Wolf Tomb have a protection spell that wards off darklings attempting to raid and take whatever is inside the sarcophagus?
Could it be that my mother’s remains were inside that tomb?
Dominic gave me an uncertain look in his eyes, but he stood straight and then rolled his shoulders as he let out a heavy sigh. “We are not sure what they are really up to, love. But I hope the situation is not some kind of a trap again. If they couldn’t get inside, I have a terrible feeling that Olivia and her minions are just letting us in to get whatever that thing is in the tomb for them. We have to be careful.”
My husband was right. There could be a possibility that Olivia and the shadow werewolves were waiting for us outside to get whatever was inside the tomb. And if I was right, Killian could be waiting with them too! How would I be able to fight back if it meant I had to kill my friend?
Dominic stared at me as if he looked like he didn’t have to access my thoughts through the bondlink to read whatever I was thinking. He knew I was still worried about Killian. Perhaps this is the reason he has been so angry with me since we left the Black Forest. Was he thinking that I still had feelings for the MoonStone Alpha?!
“Hey,”
He raised both of his brows, acknowledging that he heard me but wasn’t able to look me in the eyes this time. He kept on looking at the old books and rotting parchments, pretending that he was studying them.
I sighed deeply as I approached him, trying to be patient with all of his strange moods. “Hey, please. Look at me.”
I had to hold his face to make sure he wouldn’t look away again. This time, I wouldn’t allow him to bottle up his feelings again and then ignore me as if I were just air in front of him. “Tell me what’s wrong. Tell me why you are being an *sshole to me again since we got back to Silver Crescent.”
His hazel eyes glinted from the dim light of the room, which came from the little orbs that were flying around the area. “I don’t know what you are talking about, Samantha—”
“Stop lying to me!” I snarled at him; my eyes were fierce and deadly as I glared at him. I had had enough of this! “Something is wrong, and you need to tell me right here, right now!”
