LOGINCamille's POV
I hurried ahead, holding Rowan in my arms.
"Whatever. I don't care," I said.
"Don't think I won't do it! Lock up a wicked woman like you for a few days and see if you learn your lesson!" Gillian shot back.
Nina quickly stopped her.
"Mom, what are you doing? Camille...maybe Camille just missed Rowan too much. That's why she took him out."
Gillian was still cursing behind me, but I didn't have time to deal with her now. I followed the doct
Camille's POVGillian looked at Nina, the animalistic fury in her eyes slowly fading. Her jaw clenched, her teeth chattering as she forced the words out."Camille, I'm sorry. I... I misunderstood you.""Good. Let's put this behind us," I replied. "But next time, think before you speak."Then we walked into Rowan and Finn's hospital room.Gillian and Lucian formed a tight wall around Rowan's bed, shutting me out completely. I couldn't even see his face.With a quiet sigh, I turned to check on Finn first."Finney, what happened? How did you suddenly fall into the lake?" I asked.Panic flashed across his eyes, and his fingers twisted his clothes."I-I fell in by accident. It had nothing to do with Rowan.""Finney," I said gently, "we've already reviewed all the security footage from the lakeside. It shows you and Rowan arguing. You fell into the water while the two of you were struggling."He lowered his head

Gillian shot back.Nina quickly stopped her."Mom, what are you doing? Camille...maybe Camille just missed Rowan too much. That's why she took him out."Gillian was still cursing behind me, but I didn't have time to deal with her now. I followed the doctor and took the two children into the emergency room for examination.Declan was inside, keeping watch over Finn.Lucian stood at the end of the corridor, watching me warily from a distance.About two hours later, the doctor confirmed that both children were physically fine. Only then did I lean against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief.Just as I was about to grab my bag and leave, two Enforcers approached and stopped me."Excuse me." One of them chec
Camille's POVHis voice returned to its usual cold tone."Stay where you are. If you try to take Rowan without my permission, I'll have the guards hold you back."When he told me Rowan was at the amusement park, I'd already decided to go looking for him in secret.But his harsh words immediately killed that idea."If you want my help, don't order me around like that," I said.He seemed to have heard some absurd joke."Want your help? You seriously think I'm asking for your help?""Aren't you? Or are you just giving me orders?" I didn't wait for his response. "I'm not the omega of your pack."I ended the call in anger and went back to where I'd left Declan, but he was already gone.The restroom Finn had gone to was behind the central lake, near the woods.I was about to go look for them when I suddenly heard someone fall into the water.Immediately, the crowd by the lakeside erupted."Someone f
Camille's POVI burst out laughing, amused by his serious little promise.Smiling, I patted Finney's head. "What do you want for dinner tonight?""Blueberry pie!" he shouted immediately, "The one you made last time. It was so delicious!""Alright," I said. "I'll make it for you when we get home.""Yay! You're the best!" Finn exclaimed and then turned to Declan. "Dad, you have to join us for dinner too!"At that moment, the link-stone in my pocket buzzed—it was Lucian.I answered the call. "What's up? Are you calling about the property division?"A few days ago, his lawyer told me Lucian wasn't planning to give me anything. I replied the next day: "No way in hell."After that, I asked Declan to help me find a lawyer, planning to file a petition directly with the Council and let them decide the terms of the agreement.There was silence on the other end for a few seconds. Then a furious roar erupted."At
Camille's POVRowan's lips began to tremble."So when Alpha Declan needed someone to take care of Finn, I took the job. Not because I wanted to leave you. Because I had to survive, Rowan. You demoted me from your mom to a nanny. And nannies need jobs," I said.Then Rowan broke down, collapsing backward, arms and legs thrashing helplessly.He screamed and wailed so loudly that several students on the other side of the lawn stopped to look."You're lying! You just don't want me anymore! You like Finn better!" he exclaimed."Rowan, get up.""No!" He rolled across the grass, his uniform soon covered in dirt and grass clippings."If you don't go home with me, I won't get up! I'll die right here!""Rowan, I need you to calm down," I said."I'm just going to die here!" he cried.I stood there, watching him roll around on the grass and howl, unsure whether I was more concerned or exhausted.Maybe it was both, but at that moment I felt completely drained.I reached Lucian with the link-stone,
Camille's POVFinn didn't answer right away. Instead, he looked over at Rowan.Rowan stood alone by the slide, clutching the strap of his backpack without saying a word.Finn lifted his chin. "Not yet."One of the boys, a sharper one, immediately caught on."Not yet..." he said. "Does that mean she's going to be your mom soon?"Finn nodded firmly, his expression serious."Her name is Camille," he replied. "She's decided to leave the pack that hurt her. In a little while, she's going to move in with us and be my mom.""Really? I wish I had a mom like that!" one of the kids said."My Alpha dad's single! Can you introduce Camille to him?" another one chimed in."Finn, my dad's super handsome and has a six-pack! Camille would definitely like him. If they became mates, maybe she'd even give me a cute little sister!""Finn, remember that Lego set you wanted? It's yours. Just let me have Camille for a few days, ok
Camille's POVLucian started to say something else, but then—A frantic pounding hit the door, followed by the voice of a pack guard."Alpha Lucian, Lara collapsed! Should we rush her to the werewolf hospital downtown?"Lucian instantly tensed up. He shot me a look of pure disgust."If you're serio
Camille's POV"Camille, I've got a surprise for you tonight."Lucian kissed my forehead this morning before leaving."Wait for me at home. Be a good girl. I want your blood-orange venison for dinner."Today was our fifth anniversary—and my birthday.Knowing the pack had been secretly prepping for a
Camille's POVIn the restaurant, Travis stared at me, his blue-gray eyes full of concern."Are you really sure about this, Camille?"I nodded, my fingertips tracing the edge of the violin case."After my mom died, this was the only thing that got me through the hardest days. Every time I play, I re
Lucian's POVI didn't want Camille to ruin Lara's mood while she was prepping for her concert.To make it up to her, I canceled all my meetings and took her to almost every high-end music shop in the city.But every time a salesperson brought out a rare, million-dollar violin for her to try, her lo
