<h4>Chapter 198: Chapter 198</h4>


    [SAMANTHA’s Point of View]


    I could see them behind the altar.


    My heart felt like it was about to explode. My stomach felt like it was being wrenched by something, and I was so dizzy I thought I was going to faint any moment. The power that surged within me was difficult to control; it was gradually overwhelming me, making it challenging for me to focus on myself. Especially after I saw my twins dragging themselves down the staircase with their swift, short legs like they were taking the opportunity to get there while everyone’s attention was on me.


    They are going to do something. Diana and Devon were going to open the altar. How they were going to do it, I had no idea. All I knew was they were in trouble, and I had to draw Olivia and her father’s attention to me until they finished what they had to do.


    “What are you going to do now, Samantha? Kill me?” Oliviaughed at me with bitterness in her tone as she red at me with a promise of death in her eyes. “I am already dead, b*tch! I am invincible, and you can’t hurt me anymore! I am a shadow. I am everywhere! I will hunt you and your litters until all of you are dead!”


    “As if I will let that happen!” I snarled; my eyes widened in anger as I shot the stream of light at Olivia and watched her shriek in pain as the light stabbed her in the chest, like a sharp sword that cut through her shadows. Olivia’s mouth gaped, and her face started to distort in pure shock, like she couldn’t believe what had just happened.


    The whole Grand Hall was filled with her scream, and all the bats on the ceiling started to fly all around in panic. Even Richard Bete’s face went pale as he saw his daughter start to distort from the light that came from my forearm, the only weapon we could use against Olivia.


    I had no idea what happened, but I felt my mother’s presence around me. Like she was watching me from somewhere, making me believe that there was a way I could get rid of our enemies. I tried my hardest not to look in my children’s direction, scared that Richard might find out where they were, and just focused on aiming the light at Olivia, who was already squirming in torment.


    “Stop it!” Richard screamed at me, sounding desperate and in panic as he watched his daughter fall on the ground, wriggling in pain. “YOU ARE NOT A MURDERER, SAMANTHA!”


    I scoffed, “And what? Let you destroy our lives?! Don’t f*ck with me right now, Bete! Like what Olivia said, she is no longer among the living! She made herself a monster just to have her revenge on me! Look at her! Look at what you did to your daughter, you idiot! You made her into this, thinking that she can get whatever she wants because you made her believe she deserved it! You are the real monster, Richard!”


    “You don’t talk to me like that! You don’t know me!” Richard spat as he red at me with his wide eyes full of rage. His face trembled as he pointed his finger at me. “You have no idea what is happening and what is about to happen, Samantha! This crisis is bigger than all of us! Everybody has to make a sacrifice!”


    Sacrifice!


    “So you are f*cking telling me that you were willing to sacrifice your daughter’s life just to kill me?!” I barked in disbelief as I stepped forward, while Olivia crawled backwards with fear etched on her face, too scared to get near me again after she was stabbed by the light that my power created.


    Richard was taken aback by my question and couldn’t answer. There was guilt and pain that swam across his eyes as he looked down on Olivia, who was still lying on the floor with a pleading, scared face.


    “Kill her, Dad! Kill her for me! She took everything from me!” she cried to Richard as ck tears ran down her face. Then all of a sudden, that fear was reced with pure hatred and anger as she bared her teeth at her father and then screamed at him. “F*cking kill her!”


    I took the ne again and attempted to slice my forearm with it, threatening Oliva with the light, and she recoiled in fear and pain as she sobbed miserably. Richard, on the other hand, was so terrified that I would destroy his daughter with my light.


    “You don’t want to do this, Samantha!” he said in his pleading voice as he gestured with his hands for me to calm down. “The Royal Primordial Bloodline is cursed, and that means you and your kids are cursed as well, Samantha! If you awaken your power, your children will be the vessel of darkness! Are you willing to sacrifice them just to kill me!?”


    “LIAR!” I snarled at him; my anger boiled as darkness fell over my eyes. “Do you think I will listen to you!? You said Dominic’s father faked his death, but that is a f*cking lie! We all know that the former Alpha of the Silver Crescent is dead! He died defending the pack! How dare you stain his name and make Dominic believe that his father is still alive?!”


    “I don’t care if you don’t believe me! But this is a warning, Samantha! If you care about your twins, then listen to me!”


    “Don’t listen to any of his lies, Samantha,” Dominic groaned as he grimaced while he stood from the debris he was lying against. “He’s just trying to get away from us again! It’s the only chance we can kill this old bastard!”


    “DOMINIC!”


    I screamed as soon as I found out what Olivia was about to do, and Dominic, in his incredible speed, got to the kids first before Olivia reached them. He kicked Olivia in her stomach, and she flew away to the other side of the room. Her back had hit the thick wall, and she threw up ck blood as soon as her body mmed down on the floor.


    The children were safe! They were safe. They were with your husband. I kept on telling myself as panic started to strike in my head. I red at Richard as I bared my teeth. “You are not getting away with this!”


    I didn’t care if he was being protected by a barrier or what. I would kill him with my bare hands!


    Before I lunged to shift into my werewolf form, Richard spread out a cloud of ck smoke thatpletely obscured him. The smoke was so thick that it was suffocating, and I had to run away from it or I would die with a lungful of it.


    “Samantha!”


    Dominic’s voice led me to them as I walked towards my twins. I started to feel scared again when I saw both Diana and Devon unconscious in the arms of their father.


    “Diana! Devon!” I screamed in fear and knelt in front of them, checking if they were still alive. Dominic looked at me with a calm, worried face as he whispered, “They’re alive, love. I think they did something that knocked them unconscious. I have no idea what happened, though. But we need to get them out of here.”


    I noticed something on my husband’s wrist. “What—what’s that, Dominic?” I asked, curious because I had never seen it on him, not even since we got out of the caves we stayed in after we fled from the Wolf Tomb.


    Dominic looked at me as if he hesitated to tell me, and then sighed deeply. “My mother must have known the curse all along, so she arranged for me to marry you, hoping you could live as an ordinary human, my love. I also wondered what this symbol meant that was engraved on my wrist. Mother made me go into a ritual that could transfer the energy of someone to mine and then told me this would be useful to me one day.” He raised his face to look me in the eyes. “I guess this is what she meant.”


    I frowned, confused. “What do you mean, Dominic? I don’t understand—”


    “I need the twin’s curse to be transferred to me, Samantha. It’s the only way I can save them. It is the only way we can make sure they can survive this!”


    “What did they do, Dominic!” tears started to fall down my face as I looked at the faces of my unconscious children. “What did they find inside the altar? What happened to them!” I asked, my lips quivering as I caressed Devon and Diana’s faces.


    I was so scared I didn’t know what to feel about the situation. I med myself for why it happened to them! It was my fault; I let them get to the altar!


    Then my eyes widened. What if Richard Bete’s words weren’t lies?


    What if dark entities possessed my twin’s bodies?!


    “What are we going to do, Dominic?!” I cried to my husband as I lost all my self-control and sobbed, feeling so terrified.
