Camilla povI fight the urge to lash at my wolf and offer Hector a smile. " No need. I have everything handled." I turned his offer down. First because we are not as close as we were before and second because it's true, I have everything handled. The smile on his face falters but he schools his emotions immediately. " I miss the old us.” Hector suddenly blurts, a far away smile on his face as if remembering something sweet. " When we could be around each other without this awkward tension." He says gesturing between us." We had dreams too. You always wanted to be a doctor and take over your mother's legacy. You struggled to make that dream true. I remember when you were preparing for your college entrance exam and I teased you saying that you didn't have to study so hard. If you failed, you could come back and be my Luna and together, we would rule the pack together. " Hector continued reminiscing, a chuckle leaving his lips at the memory." And I snapped at you." I say softly, a
Camilla POV I haven't stopped thinking about what Gina said to me yesterday. If I want something,I should fight for it. But is there something to fight for to begin with? When we entered into this relationship, everything was made clear.Why fight for what will never be yours? I should be grateful and just enjoy it while I still can.I didn't get to sleep well last night, immersed in thoughts. Today is the last day before I head to the city for my exams. I am not in the mood to do anything so I decide to sleep in.I don't get to do that when someone knocks at my door. I groan and turn around in the bed,trying to ignore whoever that is. The knocking gets louder,so I decide to get up."Coming!"I yell at the door,while I put on a T-shirt.I open the door and find Gina on the other side. "Yes,Gina?""Good morning,sleepy head. Are you going to lay in bed all day?" She asks. She is smiling at me as if last night was nothing but my imagination. She looks nothing like the woman who scolded me
Camilla povGina stares at me as if what I just said was the most absurd thing ever. Maybe she is considering what she knows about my relationship with Theo. " Camilla, " she calls, her voice strained. I fight my tears from falling and fake a smile. " I know, Gina. You don't need to tell me that I'm pathetic. " I say, looking away. " That's not what I wanted to say, Camilla. " Gina says, taking my hand. I look at her, tears stinging my eyes." What did you want to say then? That you think I should leave him because I deserve better? " I say, not letting the tears fall.Gina looks at me for a long time. I feel as if she's studying me, looking for an answer I'm not sure of." That this is getting more messy than we anticipated. I also want to say that Theo is a bastard. " Gina finally says, her tone neutral.I nod, agreeing with her. Theo is indeed a bastard. Confessing to me while aware of our situation was really heartless of him. It's like dangling a candy before a child who is dy
Camilla POV I have been preparing for my exams. I can't believe that in two days,I'll sit for my medical exam which will see me obtaining my license. I am excited and anxious at the same time." You should go home and rest. Don't come to the clinic in the meantime " professor Julio informs me. It's been three days since he came back from the medical conference." Are you getting rid of me now?" I ask with a pout. Julio chuckles."That won't work on me, Camilla." Julio replies." Your final examination is a big deal and I don't want you over exerting yourself. You need enough rest to refresh your brain. When you get back, I'll be more than happy to see your pretty face around here." Julio tells me."Okay. I'll see you next week professor " I say, picking up my bag and leaving."I wish you all the best Camilla. I know you are prepared enough, I have prepared you enough. Go ace that exam and make us proud." Julio says as I reach the door. I can feel my eyes stinging with tears. Julio ha
Camilla POV I can feel tears pricking my eyes, threatening to fall but I hold them back. I rush to my office,grab my bag and leave instructions to the assistant nurses before heading back home. I feel broken and hurt. If Theo's confession came at a different time,in a different atmosphere,I would have been thrilled. Why did he have to say those words knowing they would trigger me? He knows we can't have anything concrete in public yet he dared confess his love for me?I numbly make my way to the house. It's evening already and I am glad when I find Gina alone in the house. The baby is probably asleep upstairs in her room or with the caregiver. Alex is nowhere to be seen and I can't be anymore grateful." Camilla," Gina calls after I greet her abs and start making my way to my room. I halt in my steps, turning around to face her. The ever receptive Gina must have sensed something is wrong with me. I can see it all over her face. The questions she is eager to ask." Is everything alri
Camilla POV Time passes fast and before I know it, it's been two weeks since Professor Julio left the pack to attend the conference. Everything has been going on well at the clinic and my final exam is fast approaching.Although the Professor said he doesn't know when he will be back exactly,he assured me that he'll be here before I leave for my medical exam.Gina is doing well and the baby too. She is healthy and a bundle of joy. Although the two are still learning how to be parents, I am confident in them.Theo and I have been seeing each other from time to time. We have kept our relationship a secret despite his attempts to tease me in public. I am happy and content with the way things are between us.I am just glad that everything seems to be falling into place. It's a shame that we have to keep it a secret but I understand why it has to be this way. I am trying my best to live my life,a life for myself where I don't need to care about what others think about me. However,I can't
