The Wolfless Luna's Revenge: Returning With His Secret Twins-Chapter 307

~Samantha~

Killian spun. Caught a blade aimed at his back. Twisted the attacker’s wrist until bones snapped.

But he was breathing too hard. Moving too slow. The curse was burning through him and fighting was accelerating it.

"Killian, fall back!"

"Not until they’re dead!" He threw himself at another group of attackers.

Lila fought beside the twins. Her silver daggers flashed in the dim light. But there were too many.

More attackers poured from the chamber. Had to be thirty now. Maybe more.

"We’re outnumbered!" Lila kicked an attacker in the chest, sent him flying back. "We need to retreat!"

"Can’t retreat! Passage behind us could have more waiting!" Dominic’s wolf form tore through two more attackers. "We keep fighting till our last blood! There’s no room for defeat."

"So you’re ready to die?!"

"Who said anything about dying when I know for a fact that we will win?! Don’t be a coward." Dominic replied, crashing into the group blocking the chamber entrance. Scattered them like bowling pins.

I ran after him. Had to. Couldn’t let him fight alone.

"MOM!" Devon screamed behind me.

I turned. Saw an attacker had grabbed Diana. Was dragging her toward the passage behind us.

"NO!" I threw royal blood at him.

The silver light hit him square in the chest. He screamed. Let go of Diana. Fell backward with his chest smoking.

Devon grabbed his sister. Pulled her behind a outcropping in the wall.

"Stay there!" I yelled. "Don’t move!"

I turned back to the fight. Dominic had pushed into the chamber. Was surrounded by at least ten attackers. They circled him like wolves themselves. Opportunistic. Waiting for an opening.

One lunged. Dominic caught him mid-air. Threw him into two others.

But another got through. Blade sliced across Dominic’s flank. Drew blood.

Dominic yelped. Spun. Caught that attacker and tore him literally in half.

I ran toward him. Used my royal blood to clear a path. The attackers scattered from the silver light like roaches from a sudden lamp.

"Sam, get back!" Dominic shifted to human just long enough to shout at me. "You know you’re their main target."

"I can’t just watch you fight alone!"

"I am not complaining."

"You don’t have to. We are in this together, remember?"

An attacker came at me from the side. I threw blood at him. Missed. He closed the distance.

Killian appeared from nowhere. Grabbed the attacker’s head. Twisted. The crack echoed sickeningly loud.

"Pay attention!" Killian shoved me toward Dominic. "Stay with your mate!"

He turned back to the fight. Threw himself at another group.

I made it to Dominic’s side. Back to back. Him facing the chamber, me facing the passage.

"This is exactly what I was trying to avoid!" He snarled. "You getting hurt because you won’t listen!"

"I’m not letting you fight alone!"

"I’m Alpha! This is my job!"

"It’s OUR job! We’re in this together!"

"Together doesn’t mean you throw yourself into danger!"

"It does when you’re doing the same thing!"

An attacker rushed us. Dominic caught him. I hit another with royal blood. We worked without thinking. Moved in sync.

For once we weren’t fighting each other. We were fighting together.

Killian’s shout made us both turn.

He was surrounded. Five attackers. His hits were getting sloppy. The curse was winning.

"He’s not going to make it!" I started toward him but Dominic grabbed my arm.

"I’ll get him. You stay with the twins!"

"Dominic."

"For once just LISTEN!"

He shifted. Charged across the chamber. Crashed into the group surrounding Killian. Gave him breathing room.

Killian stumbled backward. Purple veins spreading across his face now. Reaching toward his eyes.

"Fight it!" Dominic’s wolf form stood between Killian and the attackers. "Don’t let it take you!"

"Trying!" Killian’s voice was layered again. Two voices. His and the curse. "Not working!"

"Try harder!"

"Very helpful advice!" Killian laughed but it sounded wrong. "Got any other one up your sleeve?"

He cut off then his body went stiff again like other times. His eyes flashed purple.

"No." Dominic backed up. "No, don’t you dare behave like an animal!"

Killian lunged at him.

Dominic barely dodged. "Killian! SNAP OUT OF IT!"

"He’s not home anymore." Curse-Killian’s voice was all wrong. "But don’t worry. I’ll take good care of his body."

He attacked again. Faster this time.

Dominic met him head-on. They crashed together. Teeth and claws tearing at each other.

"NO!" I ran toward them. "I can’t watch you kill each other!"

Neither listened. They were too far gone. Too caught up in violence.

I looked back at the twins. They’d stayed hidden behind the outcropping. Good. Smart.

"Devon! Diana! I need you!"

They peeked out. Saw the situation. Devon nodded.

They ran toward me. Dodged attackers. Made it to my side.

"We need to purify Uncle Killian." I grabbed both their hands. "Together. All three of us. Can you do it?"

"We can try." Diana’s voice shook but her grip was steady.

Black Moon’s men rushed us. Six of them at once.

I threw royal blood. Got three. The other three kept coming.

"NOW!" I squeezed the twins’ hands.

We pushed together. Royal blood plus purification power. Silver light exploded from all three of us at once.

It hit Killian and Dominic both. The attackers in the chamber screamed. The ones still standing fell. The shadow corruption in their systems couldn’t handle that much purification at once.

Killian collapsed. The purple drained from his eyes. Left them brown and confused and human.

Dominic stumbled. Shifted back to human. Fell to his knees.

"Is it over?" Devon’s voice was tiny.

I looked around the chamber. Bodies everywhere. Some dead. Some unconscious. None moving.

"Yeah." My legs gave out. I sat down hard. "It’s over."

"Sam." Dominic crawled toward me. Blood streaming from a dozen cuts. "Are you hurt?"

"No. You?"

"Nothing a man can’t handle." He collapsed next to me. "The twins?"

"A bit weak but they will be alright."

"Good." He closed his eyes. "That’s good news."

Killian groaned from where he lay. "What happened?"

"You got possessed and tried to kill Dominic." Lila appeared, barely winded despite the fight. "We purified you. Again."

"Awesome." Killian didn’t open his eyes. "I almost made you a widow."

"But you saved the twins so that’s a balance." I looked at him.

"Yeah but your dearest husband surely hates me even more."

"I doubt that. He understands that you were under the influence of the curse."

Dominic made a sound. Not quite agreement but not disagreement either.

"What are you guys doing? We can’t take a break, get up." Lila stated while checking the bodies. "We just killed some of their men. They are surely going to come back for revenge."

"We just survived an attack. Take a minute to chill." Dominic’s hand found mine again. "Just ten minutes." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"That’s a whole lot of time which we do not have to spare."

"You take things too seriously. Okay, take five.." He squeezed my hand. "Consider the twins, they just used their powers."

Lila was at the verge of bantering but one glance at the twins, she gave in.

"I’ll set a timer because we’re still not safe in here."
