[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]
“What do you mean she’s missing?!”
I felt my blood run up to my head, making me dizzy and confused. I just woke up from a wonderful dream with Samantha and the kids finally living in the pack manor with her beside me as the official Luna of the Silver Crest pack. Samantha was already marked, which technically made her Luna.
But the elders and the council were still unconvinced that she was fit for the position and the responsibilities after she left the pack, which was my fault. She had to prove herself to the people of the pack, and that, I had no control over.
I wish I could make it easier for Samantha. It’s just aggravating that even I, as the Alpha, couldn’t persuade the people, and using the Alpha voice would only raise a rebellion, which Liam and I avoided happening.
Liam’s voice was uncertain on the other line. He was flustered as well. “One of the maids in their house called and said Miss Samantha disappeared since last night. At first, they thought she was at work. But they found out her stuff is still in her room.”
He let out a sharp sigh as he paused. That expression of my Beta meant something disturbing was going on, and my heart tightened as I snarled, “What is it, Liam? Where is Samantha?!”
“I am not sure, Alpha. When I rushed here, I saw bloodstains on the kitchen. I fear the Luna was taken by someone stronger than her. I smelled something unusual as well. I have a terrible feeling someone performed a ritual to repel the protective spell the Mother Luna put around this house.”
My eyes darkened. I jumped out of the bed with a growl escaping from my throat, grabbed a shirt from the closet and immediately dressed as I marched out of my room with the phone still pressed on my ear, “Call Ethan and the Gamma Patrol team and make sure to check every inch of the city. Track Samantha’s scent, Liam! Find her!”
I stopped walking midway through the hallway, and I closed my eyes tightly in concentration. I tried to reach Samantha with our mate bond, but I couldn’t detect her location. She was out of my range. I tried to make the bond stronger as I thought about her smiles, her scent, and her voice when she called my name, but my heart just shattered in the process, terrified of what happened to my mate.
All of a sudden it was so difficult to breathe. It was as if the world was caving in, and I clutched my chest as I panted. I had never been so scared like this in my whole life. With my mate missing, my thoughts were everywhere. I couldn’t think of anything but Samantha. Where is she? Is she safe? Who the f*ck took my mate!? Who did this to her!!!
My wolf roared inside me like a wounded beast. Devon and Diana. I had to go to them and make sure they’re safe. There’s no way they would stay in that house after what happened to Samantha!
“Dominic!”
Mom rushed towards me with her face ashen with fear. I forgot to ask Liam to make this confidential. I couldn’t let those people who hated Samantha celebrate, especially Olivia. I didn’t know what I could do once I found out they were toasting for what happened to my mate.
I would put them on the guillotine and cut their heads off myself!
“We are not sure yet of what happened, Mom. I sent Ethan and his Gamma team to look for her. I will go there and check for the kids.”
Without looking back, I went straight to the parking area and drove straight to Samantha’s house.
*****
“This is not Samantha’s.”
I was relieved as I checked the scene. The kitchen was chaotic, and drops of blood were everywhere. Samantha didn’t let the culprit get her without a fight. I looked at the door and it was wrecked by something stronger than a werewolf.
“There were burns on the edges of the wood,” Liam uttered as he examined the door. “I am certain a witch did this. That bastard must have put everyone into a deep slumber the moment he attacked the Luna. The maids told me they couldn’t remember or hear anything when they fainted while they were in the children’s room.”
“Any news from Ethan?” I asked Liam with a quiet, dangerous tone. “Did they find any unusual presence that could lead us to where Samantha is?”
“Unfortunately, Ethan hasn’t reported yet, Alpha.” Liam couldn’t look me in the eyes. He knew the level of pain I was suffering, having no idea if Samantha was still alive or had been taken elsewhere, far from where I couldn’t find her.
“He is Samantha’s best friend. I am sure he’s doing his best to find her, Alpha. Ethan is worried sick as well.” Liam added.
“Dominic!”
I turned around and saw Devon and Diana, both of whose faces were red and swelling. They ran towards me and embraced me as they cried, looking for Samantha.
“What’s happening!? Where is Mom?!” Diana sobbed; her face was smeared with tears. She and her twin brother were still in their pajamas.
I didn’t know how to explain to them. Observing Devon and Diana in tears as they searched for Samantha was heartbreaking. I dried their tears with my hand, feeling so helpless as I watched them weep.
Ethan entered the house with a grave expression on his face. He looked down, his eyes full of dread as they failed to track down and find any trace of Samantha all over Silver Crescent.
I gave Devon and Diana a determined look as I put my hands on their shoulders. “I promise to bring back your Mom as soon as I can. Just stay with your maids and your Uncle Liam will escort you back to the pack house. It’s not safe to stay here anymore.”
“But what about Mom? Is she safe?!” Devon’s voice croaked, filled with fear and worry. I couldn’t answer Devon’s question so I gestured for the maids to bring the twins to the car and Liam followed them.
“What are you planning to do now, Alpha?” Ethan asked as he let out a heavy sigh, “Do you think Olivia and her father have something to do with this?”
“We will find out.” I snarled as my hands curled into fists.
