[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
Seven in the morning.
I can still remember how that Omega maid told me about going in the pack manor to check on my new office there as if she were some kind of boss or something.
Contrary to Madison and Cynthia’s story, not all Omegas were thrilled for my return here in Silver Crescent. I could sense that Cynthia was still skeptical about my position in the pack, and I understood her feelings after I turned my back on everything several years ago.
As I stepped inside the main hall of the pack house, I took in a long, deep breath and exhaled. I lifted my chin and straightened my back as I rolled my shoulders, ready for whatever hostility would come my way. I knew Olivia had her eyes on me in every corner of this place, and I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction of seeing me cower. Not when I was ready to claim what was supposed to be mine.
Despite the confidence I portrayed as I entered the main hall, I couldn’t hide the anxiety as my eyes explored the place. So many unpleasant memories came back to me as I stepped on the grand staircase and felt the smooth wooden handrail with my hand. In my head, flashed the picture of Dominic’s cold, ruthless face. The way his words used to slice into my heart whenever he pushed me away from him. I could still remember how his eyes turned dark and disdainful whenever he glowered at me. His hands-how his hands brush me away whenever I try to touch him.
All those memories were like cold knives stabbing my chest in every single step I took as I ascended. Each step made my feet feel so heavy, same with my breath, and when I looked up, Fresia was already at the mezzanine, waiting for me with a scornful look
that she didn’t even bother to hide.
In response, I gave her a cold look in the eye despite the flashbacks that brought back the traumas I suffered from this place.” Seven in the morning. Just like what you told me.” I raised an eyebrow at her, with every word oozing with pure sarcasm.
She didn’t say anything, though, and gave me a cold shoulder. Fresia moved like a robot. She was difficult to read, especially when she had that stoic expression on her face. It was as if she went through something awful and lost her soul somewhere. Being with her felt strange and yet I had no choice but to go with Fresia and follow her straight to where my office was.
I couldn’t remember what room it was for before Lena transformed it into my room to work on the pack. But Lena made a wonderful modification to it, making it look like a small library on the left and a huge bay window in the middle of the room. On the right side was the executive table with all the paperwork piled neatly together with the laptop on it. A typical design of a working area, which I missed after I left and resigned from the Moonstone pack.
“Can you tell where I can find Mr. Richard Bennet?” I asked Fresia as soon as we got inside the office. “I need to speak to him and ask for his help on how I can adapt faster with my duties here in Silver Crescent. I know I’ve been here before and I should be familiar with the tasks here but it’s been.” I sighed and then smiled at Fresia with sad eyes. “It’s been a while and I am not sure how many changes happened here while I was gone”
First looked down at her feet first and then back at me with a wry smile on her face. “I don’t think it’s a wise idea to look for Mr. Bennet, Miss Samantha You see, Mr. Bennet doesn’t want you here and he’s been after Alpha Dominic’s neck, convincing him for so many years to choose his daughter to become the Lama of the pack. Perhaps if I were you, Mr. Bennet would be the last man I would think of it I needed suurune’s help”
Fresia’s stingy words made me grimace, but she was right. I felt stupid to think about Mr Bennet helping me when i remembered he was Olivia’s father 1 let out a crowd in toy throat I guess I didn’t have enough sleep the night after what happened with Devon and Diana, and there I was, taking disastrous decisions on my first day in the pack manor.
“You should be careful, though” Fresia averted her eyes from me, but I felt there was something on her face that made me more curious about her. There was that surprising concern in her eyes I never expected. “Mr. Richard Bennet had bribed some maids to spy on you. You can’t trust anyone here in Silver Crescent.”

My eyes widened Perhaps I was wrong about Fresta The tension in my body dissipated as soon as the and her warning, and her words convinced me that she only had a sh*tty attitude and was never with Olivia or the old man
But thinking about the maids being loyal to those people
Fresia held me by the arm as soon as she saw me starting to pante “It’s okay It’s okay, Miss Samantha The kids are with Madison and Cynthia, and you can trust them I assume you they are good people and can never hurt those little children ”
I stared into her, my eyes were wide-eyed with fear, and I found sincerity in hers She stared back at me and waited until I put myself together and breathed Suspicious of what she wanted, I moved a little away with my eyes still on her and then nodded, my heart still racing in my chest.
“How sure are you that my kids are safe in that house?” Lasked Fresia, wondering if she was giving me a warning because she was concerned with the kids or if she just wanted aten me and think twice about staying in Silver Crescent. “Are you also
one of Olivia’s spies?”
She seemed surprised at the accusation and suppressed a smile. I glared at her, though, hating that she thought everything happening was funny. I didn’t know how she could behave that way when she was only an Omega A servant Or was she?
“I’m sorry I don’t really care what Olivia wants.” Presia answered with a sigh. “But my people are looking forward to you becoming the Lama of the pack and I don’t think that’s a bad idor at all. After all, I think you are better than Olivia” She seemed embarrassed to admit it, but I could feed she was telling the truth.
She could feel I wasn’t convinced yet, so she added, “The Mother Lama made sure Ethan and the rest of the Gamma soldiers are around the area of your house to ma sure your twins are safe and nothing harm them. I know Alpha Dominte is crazy about you, knowing he managed to take you back after you left the pack.”
Wow. I couldn’t believe what I heard. So it was I who became the villain here after what Domine did to me?
I shook my head and just considered the thought that they didn’t know anything about what happened between me and Dominic. Maybe it was for the best, and I could start again by gaining their trust.
“Okay, Fresia. Thank you for bringing me here,” I sighed and smiled at her, almost like a grimace “But perhaps I will like it better if you speak a little nicer ne
Fresia just straightened her back and then bowed a lille before she left me in the office, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy knowing that my children were out there without me, but I had no choice. There were things I needed to do, and Lena trusted no one to work on those issues but me, I had to win her trust and back the hearts of the people of the Silver Crescent
I couldn’t afford to fail. Because that would mom Olivia might snatch my chance, not just the position as the Luna, but
Dominic’s heart as well
And there’s no way I would ever let her do that again.
With my arms folded across my chest, I walked towards the window, filled with heavy thoughts in my head I didn’t know what to expert from here. But as I looked down and saw Dominic, naked, with his sweat rumming down his sexy, six-pack abs, there was tightness in my throat that suddenly made it difficult to breathe Goddess, he was sexy! His dark hair cascaded down his hazel eyes as he did push-ups in front of the garden with one hand and the other on his back. His body looked as if the gods carved it themselves because, Goddess help me, he was perfect!
My thighs rubbed as I watched him with hunger in my eyes. I couldn’t believe such a beautiful being shared a bed with me so many times, and, oh, I felt like burning Only Dominic had this kind of effect on me that I couldn’t suppress.
To my horror, Dominic lifted his face and our eyes locked. There was a mischievous grin on his face as he stood from the ground and picked up his shirt while 1, on the other hand, cursed myself in panic as 1 blushed so hard
Dominic must have enjoyed the look on my face. That wink before he left made me so nervous I was too stumed to move from where i was standing

I’ve never felt so embarrassed to be caught peeking. But who cares? He was beautiful as hell, and I guess I can deal with so much teasing once we have time for each other again.
