Chapter 149

[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]

“We have to go back. We should leave while the enemy doesn’t know we are here.” I said to Dominic as soon as I recovered from the emotions that surged in my chest after finally seeing my children safe and unharmed. “Devon, you stay with Dominic. I will take care of your sister.”

“But mom—”

There was a protest on Devon’s face when he looked at me. His clear hesitation to stay with Dominic made my mate sad, causing him to lower his gaze to the ground and sigh. I suddenly felt awful for him, though. I knew the kids started to doubt if he could really take care of us after everything that happened since we moved here to Silver Crescent. And as much as I want to defend Dominic and pick his side, I couldn’t disregard my children’s feelings.

“It’s okay, Devon. Just listen to me for now,” I pleaded to him, and he just lowered his face and pouted his lips as he walked towards Dominic.
