CHAPTER 159Patricia It's been hours and I haven't seen Deveny and the kids anywhere. The silence in the house was just too much so I made my way downstairs when I heard weird sounds coming from the door.I can tell trouble when it's in my presence so I hid behind the curtain. A group of very tall men walked past me and I could tell they were not from our Pack. They seemed too gigantic. I quickly told Bruno to take cover and he luckily responded on time through the mind link.“Hurry, they could come back at any time. Go find those little fools," I heard a voice that sounded familiar.The person's face showed and I couldn't believe Camila was now in our Pack house. After some minutes I heard the twins screaming my name.With the sound that was coming from upstairs, I could tell those men had captured Bruno, and I was the only free one.“Good take them to the car," Camila said about walking out when I
CHAPTER 158Camila Everything's working out so well for me. My poor mother-in-law is now apparently relating to my pain instead of worrying about what the Pack would say after finding out that Claus is not the real Alpha of their Pack but an imposter. His mother did everything in her power to make sure she placed her son in a powerful position while the real Alpha of Nightshade was sent away.I can't even call myself evil because more evil is found amongst those who look innocent.I was on my way to Elder John's place when I found that he was busy having a meeting with the other council Elders.“Luna Camila, what are you doing here? I thought your husband was who we wanted to see," one said when I just walked into their center in tears.“Oh my goodness, what happened to you?” the elders asked when I began to tell them all the dirty things Claus had been doing behind their backs. I made sure not
CHAPTER 157Aria I woke up with lightheadedness and tried my best to heal it, but it wasn't going away. I could see Zion meditating to the Goddess on the balcony since the curtains were split apart.I got out of bed and made my way downstairs just to find the maids packing everything away from the dining table. They greeted me before I went to pour myself a glass of water.“Good morning, Aria," Thea greeted, walking into the kitchen.“Hey, I've not seen you since yesterday morning. What have you been up to?" I asked Thea.“I've been focusing on some issues, but I think they are resolved now," she said, but I was curious."What issues would those be?” I asked."Uhmm, just a small pack matters, I would say. How about you and the Alpha?” she asked, giving me a naughty look.“Thea I know that trick. You're trying to make me forget about the issues you solved, no, no, it's not going to work, tell me about them," I said, and she laughed."OK fine I was just trying to get the Old Council El
CHAPTER 156Claus Camila is upset, and no matter how many times I tell her whatever happened wasn't intentional, she wouldn't believe me. Just a few hours after she left, dark clouds started approaching Nightshade.This was something none of us had ever seen, and I could tell by the look on my mother's face that she knew that something bad would happen after this.“Mom, what's going on?" I asked, walking into her room.“It's nothing, Claus, you need to go to your room," she replied.I could sense the lies in her tone. I made my way out and noticed that Camila had not returned. It wasn't safe out there. “Camila, where are you?" I asked through the link but there was no response. I could tell something bad was up but I couldn't make my way out of the Pack House. Even though I wasn't outside I could tell that a lot of distraction was happening.I could hear people screaming and the buildings being destroyed but couldn't go out there. I wasn't going to risk my life for these people.I
CHAPTER 155Camila I rushed into the Pack house and went straight to Claus's office but he wasn't there. I then made my way upstairs to our room where I found him sitting on the couch. “Babe I've been looking for you how did—”" How could you lie to me?!” I shouted." Lie to you? About what?” Claus replied, trying to act shocked.“Stop pretending Claus Mike and the Doctor told me everything. You were behind the poisoning that took our baby, and I'm never going to have a child, all thanks to you!" I said when the look on his face went from shock to pale.“I…I know it's hard, but believe me, it wasn't intentional. I didn't want to take our child and—”"No!” I shouted."Camila, please, I didn't know how to tell you while in the hospital. I was going to tell you when you'd recover,” he said but I wasn't buying that.I've always wanted to have a child someday, and I made sure to turn Claus into a witch so we could have one, but that turned out to be the worst mistake of my life.“I'm nev
CHAPTER 154Camila I knew at that moment that Claus and Mike had been lying to me. The blood I've been sensing was one for my baby. I was pregnant yet didn't know. Damnit, I wasn't going to let Deveny go scot-free for what she had caused.I placed the box back and tried my best to focus during the cleansing ritual but just couldn't. This was the first child Claus and I were going to have after he became a witch, too, but she denied me that right. If she had not given me the poisoned water my baby would still be alive.I could hear the ancestral voices asking me to calm down but that wasn't going to happen.I stood up and made my way downstairs. I could tell that everyone was shocked to see that I was energetic and nothing like what I was when I got here.“Camila," I heard Claus call from a distance when I turned to look at him.“Are you going somewhere?" he asked, walking towards me but I didn't respond.I just looked at him with a serious face.“Babe, I'm talking to you," he said
