Hiding the Alpha’s Twins His Wolfless Luna (Samantha and Dominic) novel Chapter 3

Samantha’s POV

“I’m so glad you’re finally here, Samantha,” Lena called out from the dining as I walked downstairs after I woke up. Surprisingly, Dominic’s back home, seated beside Olivia who was laughing at something he said.

They looked more like a family than I ever did with him.

“Samantha, come sit,” Lena gestured to the seat across from Dominic. I forced a smile, swallowing the knot in my throat, and took my place at the table. I couldn’t bear to look at Dominic and Olivia, shame and pain coursing through me after what I witnessed in his office.

As I settled into my seat, I caught a glimpse of the small band-aid on Olivia’s neck—the same spot where Dominic had been. Her fingers drifted to it, a soft, smug smile playing on her lips, almost as if she wanted me to see it, reminding me of their intimate affair in his office. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from that band-aid, and I felt the sting of betrayal burn deeper.

“Are you all right, Samantha?” Lena’s voice broke through my thoughts.

“Fine,” I replied quickly, forcing my gaze back to my untouched plate. The food looked appetizing, but my appetite had vanished the moment I saw Olivia.

Halfway through breakfast, Dominic glanced over at me with an indifferent stare. He didn’t offer a word, no hint of acknowledgment of what we once shared—or what I thought we did. To him, I was invisible. And I couldn’t ignore the painful truth sinking in: he had already replaced me.

Later that morning, I headed to my office, hoping to lose myself with work and divert my thoughts. However, when I looked over the tasks for the day, I noticed that my list was far shorter than usual. Confusion crept in, and I went to find Cora, a trusted gamma who’d been by my side for years.

“Cora,” I called, luckily spotting her in the hallway.

She turned to my direction, “Yes, Luna?”

“I noticed my workload is… lighter than usual,” I began, “Have they reassigned some of my duties?”

She scratched the back of her head, an awkward smile tugging at her lips. “Isn’t it nice to have a bit less to do? You deserve it, Samantha. All the work you’ve done these past few years, maybe this is the Alpha’s way of easing your burden.”

“Cora,” I pressed, sensing she was keeping something from me. “How long has this been going on?”

She shifted, looking at the floor before finally meeting my gaze. “The Alpha has… well, he’s given a lot of your Luna duties to Olivia over the past month.”

A sick feeling washed over me. “Since last month?”

She nodded, “I’m sorry, Luna. I didn’t think it was my place to say anything.”

I clenched my fists, trembling in anger, and pain as I realized, that gradually, I was being replaced. “Thank you, Cora. I… I appreciate your honesty.”

Turning on my heel, I marched straight to Dominic’s office. He hadn’t just dismissed me as his wife—he was stripping me of my role as Luna, too. I clenched my fist in fury, my head throbbing trying to contain myself from going out of control.

When I reached his office door, Olivia was already there, standing guard as if she had the right to be. She straightened when she saw me, her lips curving into a smug smile.

“I’m sorry, Luna, but Dominic’s busy right now,” she said smoothly, blocking my path.

“I am still the Luna of this pack,” I uttered firmly, “and you’ll obey me.” I hissed, threatening her, knowing that if Dominic wouldn’t intervene, I could throw her in the dungeon. “Step aside, Olivia.”
