Amara's POV
Two thousand years ago, Lycans and witches had been known to be foes since the beginning of their creation. No one knows why they hated each other but according to history, the moon goddess Selina and the witch goddess Artia were been sworn enemies since the beginning. Rumors had it that they had the same mate leading to a feud between them and ever since then, the two creatures had hated each other. Although they shared a border, if any of the creatures found their way to each other's village, they are imprisoned until the leaders of both Clan met and agreed on a peace treaty. The Lycans and witches lived like that for hundreds of years until an unfortunate incident happened. It's changed everything.A pregnant Female Lycan Missed her way and landed herself in the Witches' village, she was captured and locked up.
"The Lycans have always looked down on us. It's time we show them that we are great." Satiah, the witch head announced to all the witches. "Yeah!" The witches all chorused. "Because of them, all we get is this!" Satiah pointed to their hideous outfit made from the skin of a tiger. The men only have a piece of Tiger's skin around their pelvic area while the women have the skin around their breast and pelvic area.
"The Lycans get good food and wonderful garment to adorn their body while we have nothing but tiger skin. What's do you say we do?"
"Kill her!" The witches all agreed that the Lycan should be killed. That's night, the female Lycan was tied to a tree in the center of the Village. The witches all sat down around her and started chanting in their language. When the chanting ended, they set a fire around the Lycan and watched her burn."Help me," the Lycan screamed and begged to be saved but no one stepped out to help. She burned to her bones and when she took her last breath, she howled to the moon.
Back in Lycan's village, her mate felt the breaking of the bond. He felt a part of him gone. He was the second in command of the Lycans and he had been searching for a mate for two days but when he felt the connection gone, he knew his mate was gone. He howled to the moon and when the rest of the Lycans heard it, they knew something had happened. They gathered around for a meeting and first in command of the Lycans ordered for an ambush on the witch's village. The Invasion of the witch's village took them by surprise. They never expected that the Lycans would attack them. Screams of Women and children filled the cold night of Catala(Witch) village as Lycans raided the village killing every witch and setting every house on fire. Those who survived that night escaped the village and stayed inside a cave where the Lycans couldn't get to them. After spending a few years in the cave, most of the witches died until they were reduced to only two. The remaining two became crazy and in their crazy state, they cursed the Lycans who destroyed their village. The curse was a few words but those few words were powerful. The lycan's offspring were cursed to walk the earth for eternity. Luckily for the Lycans at that time, no one was expecting a pup except for the unfortunate Lycan queen who was pregnant with her first child. When the witches professed the curses, it's hit the Lycan Queen pretty hard sending her into labor. That's night, she bore a son whose fate was already determined by the curse of two crazy witches. The pup was fated to doom.Camille POV"Camille, you have a call!" My best friend, Alina called from inside the living room in our two-room apartment."Okay. The finishing touch," I wiped my forehead that dripped with sweat with my hand filled with red paints. "Good." I clapped my hand and dropped the painting brush in my hand. "Perfection!" I stared at my beautiful painting if it could be called that. It's was the same painting I've been drawing ever since I was a little kid. It's was a painting of a wolf with red glowing eyes. Because of the repetition of painting, my work was rejected in a different gallery. The wolf had always been in my head and anytime I pick up a brush, I found myself painting the same wolf even if I tried not to.My psychologist told me it's was my obsession with wolves but she was wrong because I had never in all of my twenty-six years on earth seen a wolf."Oh! For goodness sake Cam! Your phone is still ringing!" Alin
Camille POVThe day of the exhibition finally arrived and I couldn't be happier. I was finally going to showcase my talents to the world. Alina helped me pick my outfit which was a blue jumpsuit and black heels that match the jumpsuit. I am no fan of dresses so I felt comfortable when I wore the jumpsuit. My hair was trimmed and stretched down to my shoulder length and my face was done by Alina herself."You look amazing Camille," Alina commented and pointed to the mirror for me to look at. "You are a spec," she winked at me."You could have been a painter," I told her as I stared at myself in the mirror. It's was not the first time I wore makeup but due to the different hairstyle, my face looked different and more feminine free from wrinkles like Alina would always say. The makeup made my obsidian eyes charming and my face rounded. The red lipstick on my lips made them smaller and plump."Thank you girl," I appreciated.&nb
Camille's POVIt's was nice to have my work exhibited at AX Gallery although most people didn't come to look at my painting because Katherine, a popular artist had her painting beside me. The few people who came to my side, I explained the meaning behind my painting. I wished I could be like Katherine who was great."Hello, Katherine," I came over to her side and waved at her.She seemed to notice me as she waved back and smiled at me. "Your wolf painting is amazing," she commented. "Can you tell me the stories behind the painting?" Katherine left her exhibitions and came over to look at my paintings posted on the wall. "Your collection is amazing!" Another comment that got me smiling like an idiot.Who wouldn't smile when their favorite artist is admiring their work?"Thank you for the opportunity, Katherine. The first painting is....." I explained the story behind each painting and Katherine stared at me in awe.
Camille POVAfter Remi left me all alone, I roamed around admiring every artwork exhibited. I wish I had bought Alina with me but it's was based on an invitation and coming to an Art Gallery as big as AX requires a lot of money which Alina and I don't have.When I was done looking around, I Went back to my paintings but then I saw a man staring at them. The man must be a fan of wolves or something for him to stare at my paintings for so long."Who painted this wolf?" He asked the lady beside him and I recognized her as the rude lady from the entrance of the gallery."They must be a couple," I thought as I watched both of them."I have no idea, sir. Remi and Isabella picked the artist. Is there a problem sir?" The lady asked yet again.If she is using Sir then it means they were not a couple but the man was her boss or one of the rich snobs that had come to see the Arts exhibited in the Gallery.
Axel POV"She is your mate isn't she?" Penelope questioned as she walked into my office. "I saw how you were staring at the painting. That Nal, your Lycan right?""Why did you allow mate to go?" Nal also nagged me.I heaved a sigh and inhaled deeply. I was happy to see her again after five hundred years but she was different and her attitudes were similar to Kourtney's. I didn't want her to go, I wished I could hold her in my arms again but I couldn't because she was a human. In her past life, Kourtney was a werewolf that died because of my sins."You have to reject her Axel if you want her to live."She was right. I have to reject her if not, the curse will fall on her and she will die just like Kourtney. "Find out where she lives," I ordered."You don't have to get involved with her Axel. It's will only bring memories of Kourtney." Penelope came to my side and placed her hand on my back. "I'll do whatever you want m
Camille POVThere was nothing else to explain because the cops refused to believe that I harmed Axel. Two of them interrogated me as if I was a hardened criminal and they refused to remove the cuff in my hand thinking I would hurt somebody else."Listen," I took a deep breath as I explained myself to them. "I didn't harm him. I saw him getting attacked in the elevator and I rushed to save him." I told them for the umpteenth time."You mean you have other accomplices?" The first cop, a man with a big scar on his forehead and crooked teeth that made his breath stinks questioned. "How dare you lie?" He slammed his hand on the table causing my chest to rise in fright."I am not lying," I held my chest and heaved a sigh of relief when I realized he wasn't planning on hitting me. "I mean it when I say that I have no hand In Axel's case.""You dare to call him Axel!" The other cop shouted at me. He stood up and I chuckled silently becaus
Camille's POVWhy would anyone believe me? They've asked me the same question over again and I gave them the same answer. "I don't know anything about it!""You won't be saying that because Miss Penelope is here and she has Evidence that would make you rot in jail for life." The crooked teeth Cop grinned at me giving me the creeps. Just as he had said, Penelope walked into the investigation and sat beside the cop."Tell them everything you've said is a lie. I didn't do anything to Mr. Banks!"Penelope scoffed and dropped her brown Louis Vuitton bag on the table. To me, it seemed like a total show-off. "You know I didn't attack Axel, why aren't you saying anything about it.""Your obsession must have grown bigger for you to address him by his name," Penelope folded her arms together and smiled at me. "You almost murder my boss and even when evidence is being provided, you keep denying It. Are you that hungry for money?"
Camille POVIt's been a week since the incident and I couldn't stop thinking about it. The press spent days on my doorsteps asking questions about my relationship with Axel. Because of that, I spent the whole week on the bed not stepping out of it because I was ashamed of myself. Even after all I had gone through, I still thought of Axel. Every time I closed my eyes, he was all I could see and I hoped he could appear to me.If only it could happen.Alina did everything to get me out of the bed but I was adamant and I refused to step out of my room."Are you going to remain on your bed without coming out of your room?" Alina knocked on my room's door but he got no reply but being the crazy one, she continued knocking. "I am not leaving this room until you get your butt out of that bed. Are you going to keep sulking because of what happened?" She asked. ”Axel Banks has already informed everyone that you were innocent. How long will you keep acti
