    [ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]

    My heart stopped when I saw my wife suddenly run towards the danger and all the bells of rm rang in my head as the adrenaline started to pump violently in my veins.

    It was as if my body just moved on its own without me thinking first about it, which was very unlikely of me. I hate doing something without any n. I hate being reckless. But this time, it was different.

    My body had to move faster than my head could think. After seeing Samantha throwing herself in the face of danger, all I could think was to save her and keep her alive and breathing no matter what. I didn’t care what could happen to me. I didn’t care if I got shredded into pieces if it meant my wife could be safe. I had to make sure she would get out of this ce alive no matter what.

    That was what I promised to her. That was what I promised Devon and Diana.

    I couldn’tprehend what was happening. Why did Killian try to save Olivia? Was it because he was really an ally to her? But then I watched my wife run towards them and help the phantomdy, which perplexed me because I never expected Samantha would do something foolish, especially saving that monster who tried to kill her and our twins so many times before.

    Unfortunately, with how impulsive my wife was, I had no time toprehend or think things.

    Samantha and Killian sessfully got Olivia out of the boulders but it was toote for Samantha to get out when the giant silver wolf reached them. I concentrated all my power and strength on my leg muscles, hoping I would get to her in time.

    I did.

    Only it cost me with a blinding pain as I felt the beast’s ws pierce through the flesh of my back, slicing it clean as the wound gaped open, sttering blood everywhere.

    “DOMINIC!!!”

    We didn’t have enough time for any guilt or to argue so I asked her to show the pendant to the beast because it was the only chance we got and hoped that it would still work just like the very first time Samantha showed the ne to it. But it seemed that the giant silver wolf was trying to fight back the power that the pendant possesses, or perhaps it was the curse in the beast’s blood that tried to control it from bowing down to Samantha.

    Dark spots clouded my vision as the pain started to spread all over me, making my head spin and making me dizzy as I tried my hardest not to faint in front of my wife and in front of danger. No. I refused to pass out. While I knew that the beasts were still out of control,  I would never let my wife faces all of this alone! I told her I would bring her to the Moon Wolf Spring, and I intended to keep that promise even if it meant I had to sacrifice my life for her over and over. She was my world, and I would never lose her again. Never!

    Samantha pulled me up. She helped me stand up on my feet as she put my arm around her shoulder, keeping me from falling. We watched the beast as it flinched away from us; both of its eyes were wide open as it stared without blinking at the light of the wolf pendant.

    “Samantha! Dominic!” Killian immediately approached us, still breathing heavily with fear still etched on his face. There was a panic in him that made me frown, while I felt my wounds slowly healing, but not fast enough, just like before.

    “Why did you save her?” I asked Samantha and Killian, and they both looked down, as if they couldn’t exin why they did it. “We are supposed to end her, not save her from this.”

    “I am not really sure what happened,” Samantha answered as she looked at me with a guilty and apologetic look on her face. “I just acted on my own and realized something that didn’t make sense to me.”

    Killian nodded as if saying he had the same reason.

    I was upset about what happened, but we couldn’t change anything about it anymore and just had to focus on taming the beast in front of us. The pain in my back was excruciating—it hadn’t stopped bleeding, and the wounds stopped healing as well. Samantha’s face turned pale as she noticed it, and then she started to rip the hem of her shirt and pressed it against my wounds.

    “It doesn’t heal, Dominic! We have to do something about it!” she panicked, and I grimaced when I felt the stinging pain of the fabric against my flesh. “We have to get you back!”

    “We have no time for it, Samantha. We have to focus on what we have to do here,” I hissed, ring at the giant silver wolf and then searching for Olivia, who was still lying on the ground, looking weak. Olivia red back at me, baring her teeth, and surprisingly, didn’t dare attack me or any of us when she had a perfect chance.

    “I remember when Brianne told me before about this Moon Wolf Spring that can erase the curse on anyone who bathes in its waters,” Killian started to exin. “She told me that the Wolf pendant of that ne was a token from the old Primordial n, which can tame the ancient beasts of the ck Forest!”

    “Yes, we already know that, thank you, Killian.” I almost rolled my eyes as I smiled at him sarcastically, feeling so annoyed at the littlemon sense he had. “As you can see, it isn’t enough because of the curse that tries to control that thing!”

    “No!” Killian looked at me and then at Samantha’s eyes as if he was struggling to exin to us what he really meant. He swallowed hard between his heavy breaths as he exined further. “I mean, your blood might strengthen its effectiveness, Samantha! The silver giant wolf recognizes your scent. It will recognize you more if it smells your blood—the blood of the Primordials!”

    My wife looked at me as if asking for my opinion on whether it would work. Killian’s eyes didn’t blink as he said it, and my instinct told me that maybe he could be right.

    “It might work,” I murmured softly to my wife, trying to calm the fear in her.

    Samantha drew in a deep breath as she pulled a small knife from the pocket of her jeans. She ced the pointed tip on her palm and started to slice it deep, and the blood beaded and then started to drip from her hand.

    I watched her crimson blood trickle down the chain of the ne she was holding until it reached the wolf pendant, which still emitted a bright white light.

    Killian and I had to flinch away from Samantha as the light started to glow brighter, like that of the morning star in the night sky, which refused to dim its light in the middle of darkness. The white light started to turn red—as if it absorbed the color of Samantha’s blood, and at that moment, the giant silver wolf stopped its hostile growls and began to calm down.

    “Is it working?”

    “It’s working, my love,” I whispered to her, making my voice soft and calm despite the excruciating pain in my back. “Keep going.”

    I felt like I was a candle that was slowly burning out as I watched my wife’s blood drip down the ne and onto the ground. I never liked seeing her getting hurt, but we were in a battle, and my wife is a brave, powerful soldier. But despite her massive strength as a descendant of a powerful n, she was still my wife, and my job was to protect her at any cost.

    Samantha, Killian, and I watched the beast bend down on its four feet as it stared at Samantha as ifpletely submitting to her authority. I felt my wife’s shoulder ease from the tension as she sighed heavily, as if relieved seeing the giant silver wolf finally calmed down in her presence.

    Even I felt as if a huge thorn in my throat had been plucked out, and I finally could breathe at ease. Killian rxed as well as he stupidly smiled at both of us, receiving another re from me.

    “No!” Olivia screamed, looking so defeated as she saw how Samantha tamed the wolf guardian. “No, you will never be happy together, Dominic! Samantha! You destroyed me! I will destroy both of you as well!”

    I turned around and saw Olivia grabbed an old ck pottery jar from between the stones near her and threw it straight in the giant silver wolf’s face, right between its eyes.

    To my dismay, the wolf guardian howled in pain once again.

    Killian rolled his eyes, looking so done with Olivia. “F*ck! NO!,” he groaned, throwing his hands in frustration.

    Raising an eyebrow, I gave Killian and Samantha a look as if saying, “See? I told you...”

    The ground shook as the beast started to move and charged straight at us. My eyes widened as I yelled and pushed my wife out of its way. “WATCH OUT!”

    Too bad it was toote for me to move away from it too and I felt the full force of the creature as it rammed me straight to the giant boulders, crushing my back against them.

    As my vision started to darken with ck spots dimming my already blurry vision, I felt the crunch and snaps of my bones on my ribs and left arm, and it was so intense that no sound was released from my throat when I screamed in agony.

    Oxygen was pushed out from my copsed lungs and blood spurted out of my mouth. I looked up at the sky as the stars looked like they were dancing above me.

    My heart tightened as I heard Samantha’s scream fading from a distance.

    Or was it me slowly fainting?

    In my head, I saw a faint light where I saw my wife’s image in her wedding dress slowly walking down the aisle. I remembered that somber look of her eyes when we got married. But this image—Samantha was smiling wide at me. Her eyes were full of love as she walked towards me slowly, like I was the only person she was seeing on the day of our wedding.

    My eyes moved to look at the sky in a prayer for the Moon Goddess to give me more strength for Samantha—for the kids.

    But my attention was caught when Olivia started to make her move again.

    “You will all die here!” she screamed and bared her teeth at my wife.
