Chapter 140
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right.
I could still remember Brianne’s warning–that this would never be easy since I had to break into the
house of someone who had hated me for all her life. I never expected that the item she wanted me to get was in the possession of the Bennettes. I knew where Olivia was living, but I wasn’t sure if the thing Brianne was talking about was being kept by Olivia or by her father, Richard.
“Remember,” Brianne said to me with a hand on my shoulder, and her eyes were grave and dark. “It will never be easy to break into their home, knowing that Olivia and Richard are both hiding secrets from the pack. There could be traps or powerful guards roaming around their place. You need to be careful.”
“I can do it. I have sneaked inside Olivia’s place many times before. It’s nothing new to me.” I said to her with a little shaken confidence. I knew the security in her place would never be as easy as before, but I believed I could do this. I had to.
“I can go with you.” Killian volunteered with determination on his face, but I saw the flash of worry in Brianne’s eyes. Killian must have felt it too, as he looked at her and held her hand to calm her down.
‘No.” I shook my head and smiled at the Alpha of the Moonstone pack. “I can do it, Killian. I need to do it alone. It will be faster if we don’t have to worry about each other’s backs. Besides, the Silver Crescent Council is also after you now. They must have already found out who broke into their dungeon and the culprit who set me free.”
Killian just smirked as if amused at what he heard, “Well, let them come, Samantha. You know I have
always wanted to end those greedy people. I know Dominic will thank me for this.”
I raised an eyebrow at him. “Don’t provoke these people, Killian. You are not sure yet what they are capable of. They all want us dead, and I am scared for you and your people. This isn’t your war.”
Killian looked at Brianne with loving eyes and then at me with a smile. “You have been my friend for a very long time, Samantha. You know you are like a family to me. You, along with the twins, Brianne and I, will do everything to help you and Dominic. That’s what I promise you.”
Brianne nodded at me with kindness on her face as if telling me she agreed with Killian as well.
I stood straight and squared my shoulders as I prepared myself to go. “I should be leaving. I have to get this thing and get Devon and Diana to bring them here with you. They are not safe in Silver Crescent anymore.”
“We will stay here and wait for the three of you.” Killian nodded and then handed me a blade in a scabbard. “You might need this.”
“Thank you.” I nodded at him and smiled before I turned my back on both of them and then sprinted to

the heart of the forest, back to Silver Crescent.
Brianne was right. The most elite guard in Silver Crescent was securing Olivia’s mansion round the
clock. I wasn’t sure how she managed to have them stationed there, but I sensed that they weren’t exclusively from Silver Crescent. She could have hired rogues to ensure no one could enter the place.
And that only meant that Olivia was indeed hiding something precious in her mansion that she never
wanted anyone to see or know about. Olivia was hiding a valuable secret in her mansion, one that could
help me in gaining power without causing me to get overwhelmed by its greatness.
I knew Olivia’s mansion. I had been there so many times because most of the parties and grand balls
were held in her place. If she were hiding something important, then it should be somewhere in her
bedroom.
Just as I expected, after I made myself look invisible to the guards with the use of the new ability that
Brianne enhanced after the ritual. Sneaking around Olivia’s place became effortless for me.
But the way to her room was not easy.
Five giant men were roving around the hallways while four were posted in front of the door. All of them
were armed with silver blades and silver weapons.
Whatever was inside that room was very important to Olivia.
The only way I could get inside was to go through the windows, which I immediately did, as quietly as possible. The elite sentinels guarded the door strictly, so it was surprising that one of the windows was
open.
“What the-“”
I squinted when all the lights in the room exploded the second my feet touched the marble floor.
“Samantha!?”
I lifted my face to see the horrified look on Olivia’s face. She was wearing a nightgown with a silver blade on her hand, pointing at me. “What are you doing in my room?! What do you want from me!”
“I need something from you, Olivia. Something you’re hiding in this place!” I hissed at her. She was about to scream, so I immediately sprinted towards her and pointed my blade at her neck. “Scream or I will cut open your lovely little throat.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about-”
“This! A kind of jewelry that has this symbol!” It was the symbol in my mother’s diary that Brianne confirmed that I needed to balance my strength. “Someone told me you have it! Where is it, Olivia!?”
“I don’t have any clue what you are talking about!” she screeched at me as her eyes stared at the blade
