h4Chapter 218: Chapter 218/h4

    [SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

    “NO!”

    I was so in shock and full of anger that I lunged straight at Olivia and rammed her against the boulder behind her, wanting to crush her ribs and her back against it. But then she disappeared in front of me like a cloud of smoke, teleported behind me, and hit me with the bottom of the hilt of the dagger on the back of my neck.

    “Samantha!”

    Someone screamed my name, but I had no idea whose voice it was after I nearly fainted. My vision darkened for a second, and my heart slowed until a voice inside me reminded me I couldn’t pass out in a situation like this. The adrenaline pumped into my veins like gasoline, waking me up as I recovered from the blinding pain in my neck.

    My mind was still fuzzy when I felt arms pulling me up and found Killian and Dominic on each of my sides, ring at Olivia and the roaring giant silver wolf.

    “Are you alright?”

    “Y-Yeah,” I answered Dominic as I blinked twice. Dominic, on the other hand, red at Killian when he saw the MoonStone Alpha holding my arm, threatening him to immediately let go of me. Killian didn’t let go, though, as if provoking my husband more, which made Dominic’s nose re, looking so pissed.

    “Watch out!”

    The three of us dove to the ground when the giant silver wolf swung its massive w at us, nearly cutting us all three in half. I saw how Dominic’s eyes widened as he grabbed me and carried me out of the giant’s range like I weighed nothing to him.

    “I-Is that—how did she get out of her g*dd*mned cage?!” I gasped in both shock and horror as I watched Olivia provoke the giant animal. “Who got her out of her cage!?”

    Dominic looked shocked as well, but didn’t dare move away from me, scared that the beast might target me again. His hands gripped my arm tight, not letting me do anything but stay with him while we both watched the beast howl with pain in the clear, starry night sky.

    As the beast’s attention went to Olivia, who avoided its ws in graceful movements as if she were dancing in front of the creature, Killian stood and took something from his rucksack. He threw the powder of moongrass on the giant silver wolf, scattered it above the beast, and spots where itnded fumed, burning the fur and skin as it slowed its movement for seconds.

    “No! Don’t hurt it, Killian!” I screamed at him with dread in my eyes as the giant silver wolf looked at me with sudden gentleness in its eyes as if it was trying to ask for help from me. “Don’t hurt him!”

    “Are you serious?! This f*cking beast will rip us into ribbons if we don’t do something, Samantha! We have to at least slow it down—”

    “You’re just making it angrier, Killian!” I snarled at him, feeling furious as I shook off Dominic’s hands on my arms. My husband released me, but he stayed behind as if he still intended to stop me if I attempted to calm the beast for the second time. He was calm, but I felt the tension in every inch of his body as he red back at the giant.

    My mouth gaped in horror when I saw Olivia attack it again, throwing her daggers that pierced through the giant’s shoulders, sending it roaring in pain. The giant’s purple eyes glowed much brighter this time, and it didn’t hesitate tond a deadly blow as it tried to chase Olivia with its razor-sharp teeth.

    The ground shook as the giant beast ran towards Olivia. Trees were taken down, and as a result, birds started to fly away from the scene while Dominic observed. Killian and I thought of a n for how to tame the giant silver wolf after Olivia destroyed my chance to negotiate with it.

    “Stop it, Olivia! If you keep on doing this, we will lose the Moon Wolf Spring!” I screamed at her in dread as she kept on dodging the beast’s teeth and ws. “You are just making things worse!”

    Olivia red in my direction as she smirked at me tauntingly. She yelled; her voice sounded delirious, “You think I will let you go to the Moon Wolf Spring and save f*cking Dominic?! NO, SAMANTHA!!! The Curse will kill him, and I will make sure of it!”

    She backflipped as she dodged another attack from the giant silver wolf, who was already bleeding badly, and I started to panic as my forehead started to form cold bullets of sweat that ran down my face. I had to do something to stop her! I had to stop her!

    But the beast had cornered Olivia; when she failed to notice it, she jumped too far and became stuck between three boulders, unable to escape as the beast quickly approached her, ready to rip her to pieces with its massive ws.

    “F*ck!” Killian barked as his jaw tightened.

    “Killian, no!”

    My eyes widened as I watched Killian go after Olivia, saving her after she was stuck between the rocks. I was baffled at what I saw. I never expected he would save the Phantom Lady after what Olivia did to Brianne. Even Dominic was stunned at what he saw, and his mouth gaped while watching the two struggle.

    “KILLIAN! WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!” I screamed at him as I stepped away from my husband, who grabbed my arm once again. “YOU’RE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF!”

    “What the f*ck are you doing?! Why are you helping me?!” Olivia snarled at Killian, who was pulling her out of the rocks.

    “Just shut your f*cking mouth and pull yourself out!” Killian snarled back.

    I shook Dominic’s hand away from me as I red at him. “We can’t just watch them, Dominic! We have to help!”

    “No, it’s too dangerous, Samantha! I can’t let you go there when that monster is out of control! I can go there and help, but please stay away from it!” Dominic’s jaw tightened as he red back at me; his eyes were dark as the dire situation escted quickly.

    Dominic was right. If he didn’t want me to go and help Killian and Olivia, I never wanted him to risk his life and get here either. We stared into each other’s eyes; both were scared of the possibility that we might lose each other if we went there to face the beast.

    We weren’t cowards, but losing a mate was the scariest thing a werewolf could imagine.

    I held Dominic’s wrist and squeezed it, telling him that I never wanted him to go, either, as the corners of my eyes stung with tears. I bit my bottom lip hard as it started to quiver, and he understood the fear that suddenly etched on my face.

    “I’ll stay here with you,” he murmured and then kissed the top of my head as he held me close. “I know this is hard, Samantha, but the kids need us. We have to go back to them. Alive.”

    Swallowing the lump in my throat, I had no choice but to cling to my husband and hope that Killian would make it in time. I still couldn’t understand why he had to do it, but then I realized what Devon said to us when he video-called his dad.

    Could it be that he had been having a dream about Olivia’s childhood past? Could it be that the Moon Goddess tried tomunicate with my son about Olivia’s pain? My eyes widened as I began to understand and solve the puzzle that had been bothering me since we went down the valley.

    I never wanted to think that it might be true, but I was afraid my own son had let the Phantom Lady escape from her cage.

    Both Killian and Devon think that Olivia was just a victim of all of this. But how could I make myself believe after she killed and destroyed so many lives in Silver Crescent?!

    Without a single thought, I jumped away from Dominic and went straight to Killian and Olivia. My instinct told me not to go, but my heart told me that I had to do something and not just watch Killian die for Olivia. It happened so fast, and yet it looked as if everything was in slow motion as I watched the giant beast run towards us. Killian couldn’t believe what I did when I grabbed the Phantomdy’s other arm and pulled her out of the boulders together with Killian.

    The MoonStone Alpha and I screamed as we both pulled Olivia with all our strength, making it in time before the giant silver wolf’s ws reached the three of us.

    Olivia’s eyes were both wide with confusion as we stared at each other. There was shame etched on her face as emotions swam in her eyes when he stood up and clutched her injured arm, still staring at me with disbelief.

    “Samantha! Behind you!”

    I was too stunned to move when I heard my husband scream my name, and it was already toote when I saw the beast standing behind me—its ws were poised above me, ready to tear me apart.

    “NO!”

    For a second, I thought the sky fell on me when I watched Dominic shield me from the ws of the giant beast. Blood sttered on my face as I watched the agony in my husband’s eyes as the massive ws of the giant tore his back, and I couldn’t move, couldn’t think, and was too petrified at what I saw until Dominic knelt in front of me, weak and almost fainting.

    Killian screamed in anger and threw another batch of moongrass on the creature, sending it flinching back away from both me and my husband.

    “Use the pendant, love,” Dominic murmured in between pain as I grabbed his cheeks to look at his pale face.

    “I-I’m so sorry, Dominic—”

    “I am alright,” he groaned as he winced. “Get the pendant and show it to the creature once again.”

    With panic in my heart, I searched for the ne in the pocket of my jeans and threw it above us with a scream of anger. Light shed from the pendant, causing the giant beast to flinch until it recognized the source, at which point its pupils began to widen. A familiar scent—my scent of lc and vani—filled the air, freezing the beast as it whimpered.

    “Good girl,” I heard Dominic murmur as he gave me a small, weak smile. I helped him get up from the ground and we both watched the beast and the dazzling light.
