" You like the way my hands touch,right,kitten?" Theo purrs in my ears. I am a mess of nerves,unable to utter even a single word. " Do you want me to stop? Do you still think this is a mistake?"

My eyes shine brightly as I stare at the dress before me. “ Yes, that's the one. I'll take it.” I announce to the attendant following behind me. “ Good choice. The colour compliments your eyes.” She replies,picking the dress and passing it to me. She is right. The blue colour matches my eyes. Perfectly. After paying for the dress,I drive home. I am already giddy, anticipating my date with Hector,my mate. Hector and I have been mates in the past two years and although he hasn't marked me, everyone in the whole pack knows about our relationship. His father already agreed that we can officiate the bond and after that,he will retire as the Alpha and hand over his position to his son,my mate. Alpha Theo is one handsome and powerful man. Hector sure got his good looks from his father. If I wasn't mated to his son, maybe I would be among the ladies who secretly admire him. When I arrive at our house,I grab my shopping bag and skip to the house. I head straight to the laundry room and set the machine to dry clean my dress. While my dress gets cleaned,I step to the bathroom and get ready. An hour later,I am looking at myself in the mirror. I smile to myself, loving the new look on me. I rarely dress up, it's something I have always avoided to keep unwanted attention away from me. I am thick with the right amount of skin in the right parts. Although Hector is my mate,we are yet to unite and that means I am still in the category of unmated females. That means any interested pack member can ask me out. I don't have the energy to keep turning away all the males that approach me. I am not interested in anyone else apart from my Goddess - chosen. “ Perfect.” I whisper to myself,grab my handbag and head out. Hector said something about today being special and that's why I agreed to dress up. Also,I bought something sexy to spice up our bedroom activities. I don't want him getting bored with me for being too plain. While Hector was quite the playboy before,he swore to be with me only the night he took my first. I plan to keep things like that, just the two of us. “ Someone seems to be in a good mood to dress up today.” My brother's voice comes from the kitchen. He is munching on some fries while seated on the kitchen counter. “ When did you get home?” I ask and Alex shrugs. “ The Alpha gave Hector and I the evening off. Heard Hector had something to deal with.” Alex states before grinning. “ I just didn't expect that the thing to be dealt with is actually my sister.” He adds mischievously. My cheeks burn with embarrassment. Even as the beta of this pack,Alex treats me like his little sister. He is all I have left after the death of both our parents. “ Come on, don't start with me. I'm leaving.” I announce and he chuckles. “ Have fun, little sister.” He calls out and I smile. “ I plan to.” I reply and drive away. The drive to the restaurant takes less than ten minutes. While I live near the pack house, the pack town is not far away. Actually, most pack members live in the town rather than the pack house. The restaurant is our usual Spot. The staff here already know me as the future Luna of the pack. Hector has been romantic in the past two years, always taking time from his busy schedule to spend time with me. “ Your mate is waiting for you at the terrace.” An attendant Informs me. I flash her a smile and whisper a thank you. The terrace? Hector normally books us a private suite so that we can do something dirty later on. What's with the change today? He did inform me that today is special though. It seems like he is going all out to make the day even more memorable. I take the elevator to the top most floor then proceed to the terrace. There, standing near the railings is my mate —my sweet mate. “ Hector.” I call out to get his attention. Hector turns around, his gaze fixated on me. From my distance,I watch as his eyes sparkle. The desire burning in his eyes seems intense today and my warmth creeps up my cheeks. He is looking at me as if he can't wait to jump on me and ravish me. I smile happily,my goal achieved. I dressed purposely to impress him and it seems like it's working. Hector makes a walk to the table set at the center and motions for me to take a seat. “ I have been waiting for you.” He says with a smile. I am about to smile back when I notice a third chair in the setting. “ Are we expecting someone?” I ask with furrowed brows. Hector nods. “ She will be here anytime.” He declares and my frown deepens. A moment later, the sound of heels clicking on the floor resonate and we turn around to see Isabella strutting towards us. She has a sly smirk on her face. “ I hope I haven't kept you waiting for long.” She says looking between me and Hector. I don't say a word as I feel my wolf clawing for control. I watch as Hector pulls her the chair next to his to sit down.He is now sandwiched between us. “ What's the meaning of this?” I ask, confused. “Impatient so much are we?” Isabella snorts and I glare at her. I am about to snark a remark when Hector beats me to it. “ I asked Isabella here because I have a suggestion to make about our relationship.” He starts and my heart drops. “ You see Camilla,I was hoping we could reach an agreement about something.” Hector continues, his gaze fleeting. “ Go straight to the point.” I am getting annoyed by his gesture of playing with words. If he has something to say,he might as well get it over and done with. “ I want us to try an open relationship.” One second. Two seconds. Ten seconds of silence as my mind registered Hector’s words. “ What nonsense!” I snap,glaring at him. “ It's not nonsense. I want to be able to take any woman of my choice to bed. Like Isabella for example. You can try being with other men and see…” “ Stop. Just fucking stop!” I yell at the top of my voice. “Are you insane?” I ask and Hector shakes his head,a smile on his lips. Isabella snorts. “ I am not surprised. You've always wanted to fuck that bimbo,right?” I snap, glaring at Hector. “ Don't make this a big deal, Camilla. Let's just say I have some fantasies I want to explore. Stuff you can't handle. My darling Isabella here is perfect in that field.” Hector shamelessly defends. I suddenly feel sick to the stomach. I am hurt,but my anger can't surpass the disgust I feel towards my Goddess chosen mate. “ She is perfect? So both of you have been fucking behind my back?” I can't believe this. I can't believe my mate has been going behind my back to sleep with another woman. It makes sense why he never marked me after two years of being together even when the Alpha gave him a go ahead.This was his plan all along. He never thought of commiting to our bond. “ Yeah. Hector and I go way back before he started fucking you.” Isabella Informs me. “ You bastard!” I cry but there's no hint of remorse on Hector's face, not even the slightest bit. “ There's no need to get angry at him. He is of Alpha bloodline,he needs plenty of sex. If you want, you can join us for a threesome. I bet it'll be fun. Right, Hector?” Isabella chips in with her ridiculous suggestion. “ I bet it will.” Hector grins in agreement. “ You are both sick in the head.”Camilla POVMarcus steps into the lab wearing his usual smirk,the kind that sets me ablaze. God,I hate it. My stomach churns with hatred and I let out a groan. I don't even try to hide my annoyance or the dislike I feel for him.My reactions don't anger him. On the contrary,he chuckles. The sound alone grates on my nerves. “What’s that look for, Camilla? Hate my face that much?” He jokes, smiling. I roll my eyes, not finding anything funny.“ You better get used to it. After all,you'll be seeing this handsome face alot in her future,fiancée.”His words hit like a slap, and I glare at him, my hands clenching into fists. “ Don't call me that. I am not your fiance and will never be.” I spat.Marcus seems amused by my words for some reason.“ What's the use of resisting your fate, Camilla? Isn't it better to just accept it and move on?” Marcus asks.“You’re pretty sure of yourself, Marcus. What makes you think I will ever agree to your disgusting deal?” I mock him. He sounds so sure of
Logan POVI can still see Camilla’s face in my mind, the way her eyes flickered with something she wouldn’t say. And her smile,it didn't reach her eyes. I know Camille well enough to know that she is hiding something. It’s eating me alive not knowing what it is she is keeping from me. I can tell that she is carrying a weight she won’t share. I know that look. How can I not recognise it? It’s the same look I have been wearing these past few days, pretending to be fine when I am falling apart.I am supposed to be resting as she instructed but I can’t sit still. Not when Camilla is out there, pushing herself to the brink for me. Guilt twists in my gut and a feeling of being useless gnaws at me.I am the reason she is pushing herself so hard,the reason she is locked in that lab day and night, trying to save me. I am the reason she looks exhausted and keeping things buried inside her, things that I can tell are slowly breaking her willpower.Unable to sit still,I decide to follow her, c
Camilla POVI stumble back to the pack,Marcus’ words still ringing in my ears repeatedly like a broken record. “Marry me, Camilla, and I will give you the antidote.” His smug smile, those cold eyes, they are ingrained into my brain, replaying over and over. My heart is racing and my stomach is twisting so hard I feel like I might throw up. How could he? How could Marcus, Logan’s own brother, be the one behind this? I have to say,I kinda suspected it but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.I can’t believe he went as far as poisoning his brother,watching him fade and all for what? To steal the Alpha title? To prove something? And dragging me into it with that sick deal of marrying him to save Logan?That's so sickening.I seem to wrap my head around everything .Marcus knows Logan cares about me. Is this some kind of twisted revenge? A way to hurt Logan even more by forcing me into a corner? The thought of it makes my chest ache, like someone’s squeezing my heart too tight.
Camilla POVThe past two days have been a blur. The wolfsbane injections I have been giving to Logan have been working to keep him up and awake.He has been putting on a brave face for the pack. He is stubborn as ever, maybe more stubborn than I thought. He has been going around flashing that Alpha grin to convince everyone he is fine. I have to say,it’s almost convincing.But I see the strain in his eyes, the way his shoulders tense when he thinks no one’s watching. He is doing a good job fooling the pack, but he is not fooling me.I asked Tessa to stick close to him, to be my eyes when I can’t be there. I know I can trust her to watch over him and report everything happening to him to me. Meanwhile, I have been holed up in the pack’s laboratory.I am turning out to be another professor Julio,surrounded by vials and microscopes. For the past two days,I have been trying to crack the puzzle of the poison coursing through Logan’s veins. Julio’s call two days ago after he received th
Camilla POVI have just ended the call with Julio when the door creaks open and Tessa steps inside.She is carrying a small bag in her hand.Her face softens when she sees me, and she sets the bag on the table beside Logan’s bed. “I brought you dinner,” she announces. “ I figured out you'll not be leaving the clinic so I thought about getting you something to eat.”I let out a small laugh, “you know me too well,” I say, shaking my head. “Thank you.” I add.“ You don't have to thank me for anything, Camilla. If anything,it's me who should be grateful. I didn't know what to do when Logan collapsed after training. I could only think about you.” She confesses,her eyes glisten I with tears.“ Logan collapsed after training?” I ask just in case I heard it wrong.Tessa nods. It's no wonder the poison flared up. Julio mentioned something about him doing nothing strenuous. Is this what he wants to avoid?“ I was so scared. I thought…I thought I was going to lose him.” Tessa whispers,her voice
Camilla POVHis words hit like a slap, and I feel my anger flare.Play house? Is that what he thinks this is? I take a step closer and my hands curl into fists at my sides. “What’s wrong with you, Marcus? Why do you have to make everything a fight? I am here because Logan is sick. Because he is my friend and he needs me.” I spat. Does he take pleasure in infuriating me because that's what I think this is. He is getting on my nerves and honestly,I feel like loosing it.Marcus laughs harshly . It's a mocking sound that grates on my nerves. “Your friend? His business is your business now, is that it? You are an outsider, Camilla. You don’t belong here, meddling in our pack’s affairs.” Marcus bites back,his expressions hardening.The word outsider slams into me harder than I thought it would. I know what Marcus is playing at. He wants to intimidate me,make me feel small but I am not falling for it. Whether I am an outsider or not,that's not something he can decide on his own and even if
