Chapter 110
[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]
“I can go with you.”
“No. You stay here…” I caressed her face and then pushed her hair behind her ear. Samantha closed her eyes for a second as she savored the feeling of my skin rubbing against her cheek. With an anxious expression, she reached out and grasped my hand while tilting her head to the side. Her eyes sparkled with tears when she lifted her beautiful face to stare deep into my eyes as if begging me not to go.
“You know it’s dangerous out there. Liam barely controlled the situation that happened in the pack manor yesterday. You even had to call Alpha Vance to send more soldiers to stop the Black Claws from escaping the dungeon, Dominic.” Her voice was full of perturbation as she rested her hands on my chest. “There’s no way I would let you go into that forest alone.”
“It will be a lot faster if I go alone, love,” I whispered to her and planted a soft kiss on her pinkish, supple lips. I wanted to kiss her more. I wanted to pin her back into bed and spend the entire day in her arms, but I couldn’t. She was right. Those were dangerous times, and I needed to solve this problem before everything collapsed in front of my eyes.
Liam called me last night that I was needed badly in the meeting today. But I had to do what I promised my mate. I had to find the thing that she needed to protect the twins. She needed to awaken her ability despite the danger that would come after this. But if she thought it would help her keep the twins safe, then I believe Samantha. I believe she was capable of making big decisions for herself, for the twins, and for the Silver Crescent.
She is my Luna. And more importantly, she is my wife.
“You don’t know what is waiting for you there, Dominic! At least let me go with you!” She insisted, gripping my hand as if she didn’t want me to leave the room. “We can look for that herb in the Black Forest. That way, I am sure you could go back home to us!”
I smiled and held her arms, gently–slowly massaging downwards, stopping on her wrists. “It will be much better if you stay here with the kids, love. I need you to focus on them. Make sure they’re safe. You are the only one who can protect them, Samantha. Stay here with Devon and Diana until I go back.”
She stared at me for seconds until her shoulders relaxed and she sighed, “At least keep your phone with you all the time.”
1 kissed her lips and smiled, “I will be back in no time. I promise.”
I was in my wolf form.

I made sure Liam knew I was after something Samantha needed before I left Silver Crescent and sneaked out of the gates without telling any of the council members where I was heading. As my Beta, Llam assured me he tripled the security around the gates of the turf and around the house where Samantha and the twins were staying. My mom, who was so furious about what happened yesterday, made sure that the prisoners met a horrible punishment after hurting the kids.
Mom could be the gentlest and the most ruthless at the same time.
As I went deeper into the Black Forest, I made sure to sharpen my senses and followed tracks around the eerie dark woods. Samantha wanted me to rummage for the herb in the daytime, but I told her I was needed in the council meetings, so the only time I could looking for it was during nighttime when beasts appear in this part of the forest.

Two hours, three, and I didn’t see that strange flowering plant that Samantha showed me. The picture of the plant was drawn by unskilled hands; that’s why I wasn’t very would pick the right one if I ever found one that looked close to what it looked like in the picture.
I was baffled when I sensed something peculiar underneath the thick dry leaves. As swiftly as I could, I pivoted and somersaulted to avoid the spot. I carefully removed the dead leaf litter and my eyes narrowed at what I saw. It was an unexpected sight in a place like this.
[F*cking bear trap!] I snarled to myself as I looked around the forest. [Who would put such f*cking things like this here!?]
Not too far away, I hear a roar and howling of beasts. I crouched as snarls reverberated in my throat, expecting an attack at any moment. My eyes darted left and right as 1 heightened my hearing until I heard the strange rustling of leaves and light footsteps coming closer and closer-
It was fast.
Its fangs were aimed at my neck, but I was able to kick the bear–like beast away from me with my
hind legs. The kick was so powerful that the ribs of the creature shattered against the old, giant tree and it dropped to the ground, leaving until it whimpered its last breath and died.
The second beast tried to grab me on the back but I swiftly dodged its giant claws and caught its arms with my razor–sharp teeth. I ripped its limb away from its body, making the monster roar in pain as it flinched away from me, its blood sprinkling on the bushes around it, painting the plant crimson red.
The third and the fourth ones surrounded me, spreading their arms and sharp claws as they glared and threatened me with their bare teeth. I answered them with a deadly snarl as I looked back and forth at them.

me as it roared with all its for the perfect time to attack. One swung its claws at
might, its eyes as red as crimson with rage.
Then the one behind me took its chance to lung at me and moved to ram its huge, heavy body against mine. I barely escaped from it, but sudden, baffling, sharp pain made me roar in shock as I looked down at the ankle of my left hind leg, almost shattered by the bear trap!
The beast in front of me swung its claws again, and this time, it reached my throat. Fortunately, it wasn’t deep enough to rip my throat open. I gagged as I felt the blood gush my throat when the second beast rammed its claw on my back, puncturing my left lung and sending me lying on the ground, writhing in pain.

[F*ck!] I snarled, feeling a little panic and despair with the situation. I couldn’t move. My feet were held by the bear trap, preventing me from lunging towards the beasts. Another surge of sharp, stabbing pain made my eyes widen when the bear–like beast behind me sunk its teeth into my shoulder, almost making my vision blacken for a second.
No. I couldn’t let this happen!
As Alpha, I roared with full power, causing chaos in the Black Wood Forest. Trees shook, and the ground quaked. All the beasts surrounding the area felt there was an apex predator in the area and started running away, making the two bear–like beasts in front of me flinch in fear. I glared at them as I slowly stood, glowering at both of them.
With lightning speed, I tore their heads off their shoulders, not giving them any more chance to dodge or run away from me. The chain on the bear trap snapped and blood trickled down my feet as I limped and groaned in pain.
The f*cking trap was made of silver.
I could feel my power draining from the poison, but there was no way I would give it up now. I had to maximize my time and find that herb as soon as I could. The council needed me in the morning, and there was no way I would let Liam face all those upset elders. Like me, he was already working to the point of exhaustion and we couldn’t stay like this if we wanted to keep the pack safe from the enemies.
Still limping and in agony from the wounds that weren’t healing, I kept searching for the herb all over the forest, believing that if I didn’t stop and had faith in the Moon Goddess, she would guide me to it. Before, all I used to believe was myself. I never bowed to anyone. But after taking Samantha and the twins back to my life, all I wanted was for the Goddess to show me some miracle and help me get through all the chaos that was happening in the Silver Crescent.
I gritted my teeth and breathed deeply and slowly.
“There’s no way I would go back without that thing.” I snarled to myself as I continued the
