Chapter 183 : The Truth He Could No Longer HideCamille’s POVThe silence that followed my question felt heavier than anything I had experienced since arriving at the pack house.Theo’s hand was still wrapped around my wrist.Not tightly.Not forcefully.Just enough to stop me from walking away.I could feel the tension in him.The conflict.The hesitation.For so long, I had believed Theo always knew exactly what to do. Even when he was angry. Even when he was unfair. Even when he made decisions I hated.He always appeared certain.Tonight was different.Tonight, he looked trapped.His eyes remained fixed on mine, and for the first time since I had known him, I realized he was afraid of the conversation standing between us.Not because he didn’t know the truth.Because he did.At least part of it.And once he started speaking, neither of us would be able to pretend anymore.The fire crackled softly behind him.Outside, rain continued tapping against the windows.The entire world seem

Chapter 182 : The Things You Never Told MeCamille’s POV“They were inside my room.”The words left my mouth quietly, but the effect they had on Theo was immediate.For a moment, he didn’t move.He didn’t ask who.He didn’t ask when.He didn’t even ask what had happened.The look on his face told me everything before he spoke a single word.He knew.Maybe not every detail.Maybe not exactly what they had taken.But he knew enough.And somehow, that hurt more than discovering my room had been searched.I stood there staring at him while a thousand thoughts collided inside my head.The room felt strangely small.The fire crackled softly in the corner, but the warmth never reached me.Because all I could see was his face.All I could think about was the expression that had appeared the moment I spoke.Recognition.Not surprise.Recognition.My chest tightened painfully.“You knew,” I said quietly.Theo immediately looked away.Just for a second.But I saw it.And that second was enough.

Chapter 181 : The Night I Realized They Were Watching MeCamille’s POVSomething inside me had changed so completely over the past few weeks that sometimes I barely recognized myself anymore.There was a time when every movement inside the pack house revolved around emotion. Around Theo. Around whether he looked at me kindly or coldly, whether Aurora stood too close to him during gatherings, whether the elders whispered when I entered a room, whether I belonged somewhere inside this impossible place that had never truly accepted me.Back then, everything hurt openly.Every silence felt personal.Every rejection reached directly into my chest.But now the pain had become quieter.Sharper.More controlled.And maybe that frightened me more than suffering ever had.Because the moment emotions stopped controlling me completely, I began seeing things clearly.Too clearly.The pack house no longer felt like a home filled with complicated people and traditions. It felt like a structure built

Chapter 180 : They’re Starting to See YouCamille’s POVSomething in the pack house had changed again, and this time even the walls seemed to feel it.I noticed it in the way conversations stopped a second too late whenever I entered a room, in the way servants suddenly avoided lingering near me too long, and in the way the elders had started watching me with careful expressions that tried too hard to appear calm.Before, they ignored me.Then they tolerated me.Now they observed me.And somehow, that frightened me more than open hostility ever had.The atmosphere around the estate had become heavier over the past few days, as though tension itself had settled into the air and refused to leave. Meetings lasted longer behind closed doors. Guards stood outside council chambers more often than before. Even the servants whispered less openly now, like everyone sensed something shifting beneath the surface but no one wanted to be the first person to speak about it aloud.I felt it most aro

Chapter 179Camille no longer moved through the pack house the same way she once did because something inside her had shifted so deeply that even silence felt different in her chest, and every corridor she walked through now carried the weight of everything she had begun to understand without fully saying it aloud to anyone.There was no longer hesitation in her steps when she passed places where she used to feel small, there was no longer the instinct to lower her gaze whenever she sensed authority watching her, and there was no longer the quiet hope that someone would explain things to her gently, because she had already learned that explanations were never given freely in a system that survived on what it chose to hide.Instead, she moved with controlled awareness, as if she were learning the language of the house without speaking it, noticing how conversations would pause when she entered certain rooms, how certain elders would adjust their tone when Theo was present but soften in

Chapter 178 : The Truth That Breathes Between UsCamille’s POVI stepped out from between the shelves slowly, not because I was afraid of her anymore, but because I understood that fear was no longer the most useful response to anything happening inside this place.Aurora stood in the center of the archive room like she had always belonged there, like the dust, the silence, and the old knowledge had been arranged for her arrival alone, and when her gaze finally met mine, there was no surprise inside it anymore.Only recognition.As if she had been waiting for me to reach this exact moment for a long time.My fingers loosened slowly at my sides, though my body remained alert in a way that had nothing to do with panic and everything to do with awareness, because something about her presence was no longer simply competition or tension as it had once been in my mind.It felt structured.Deliberate.Like she was not acting alone.“You have been busy,” Aurora said gently, her voice calm in
