Camilla POV
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.”Hector POV It’s been three days since Isabella’s death, and I have played my part perfectly—grieving mate, heartbroken Alpha heir, a man shattered by loss. I stood in front of the pack, my voice breaking as I spoke of her sudden passing, blaming it on complications with the pregnancy. The pack bought it, their eyes full of pity and their hands reaching out to comfort me. I feel like everything is falling in line,my plan is working out. Soon,I'll have my prize in hand – Camilla.Standing at my office,the one my father assigned to me after I returned from my Alpha training,I gaze outside. Everything seems peaceful and a smile breaks on my lips.The door swings open without a knock, and I turn, expecting my father. He is the only one who dares barge in on me like this. Instead, I see Clara, one of Isabella’s best friends, her face pale and her eyes red from crying. But there is something else in her expression—anger.I frown,not sure why she has that kind of look but I keep my face c
Hector POVIt's been two months since Camilla left the pack. No one would tell me where she relocated to, not like many people in the pack know.My father is one of them but even after asking him countless times,he wouldn't bulge. He keeps saying that she is better off wherever she is, that I should not think about going to disrupt her peaceful life.The other person who knows is Alex and his wife. I can't ask them without getting cursed at and reminded of the horrible things I did to Camilla which forced her to flee the pack.The room is quiet, save for the soft clink of the glass as I swirl the liquid inside. The amber glow of the setting sun filters through the curtains, casting long shadows across the floor of mine and Isabella's apartment. She is sitting on the couch, her hands folded in her lap. Her eyes are fixed on me with that same desperate hope I have seen for months. It’s too annoying, the way she clings to me, believing in a future I have never truly promised.When we st
Camilla POV“Come out already,” I snap, my voice sharp in the quiet night.“I’m not in the mood to play hide and seek.”Did I say that the human world is the safest place I have ever been? No one cares about the other to trail them so this is definitely new. Then suspicions crawl inside me and I shudder from the thought.A moment later,a rustle comes from the shadows near the corner of the street. My breath catches as a figure steps into the dim light of a streetlamp. My heart stumbles when I see who it is—Logan.I had guessed anyone else, maybe Hector or Theo,but definitely not Logan.His familiar broad frame and warm eyes catch me off guard. Relief washes over me, but it's replaced by confusion. What is Logan doing here? At this time of the night and following me around? That doesn't make sense.“Camilla,” he calls softly and stops a meter away from me. Those familiar eyes bore into mine and I see the guilt swirling in them.“I’m sorry for scaring you. I didn’t mean to.” He tries t
Camilla POV It's been two months pass since I left my pack and ventured into the human world. Two months of walking around without worrying about people looking at you strangely or whispering malicious words about you.As if on cue,my medical practice license arrived days after I left the pack.Just as promised,Alex helped me set up a small clinic where I see patients.In a span of two months, the clinic is blooming and I am getting more patients with each passing day. It's a milestone I never imagined of achieving but here I am, doing what I love best. Sometime,I can't help but think that Hector's betrayal was like a blessing in disguise. It's what pushed me to make this decision, starting a clinic and continuing with my mother's long life dream.Everything feels surreal. The people here are friendly,it feels like my life is finally getting back on track. No more sad memories, just surrounded by happiness and positive energy.The door to my office is pushed open after a knock and Si
I lift my face to see Elise saunter into my office wearing a rather short and provocative dress. I raise my brows at her and she smiles at me. I look away, not pleased by the sight of her." I don't need you to tell me how I look. I know that already." I counter, annoyance creeping inside me. After dealing with Hector not long ago,the last person I want to have in my company is Elise.She flops herself on the sofa opposite my work table, crossing her legs together. Her already short dress rises up even higher showing her milky white thighs. I turn back to my computer, ignoring her." You're in a foul mood." She says, her voice laced with amusement." And you're in the wrong place." I counter. She didn't even tell me she was coming. If she did,I would have told her to stay away from me." You know I like to be where you are. Even if it means I'm in the wrong place."I ignore her comment, focusing on the screen in front of me. I don't even know what I am looking at. My mind is full of
Theo POVI am in my office, still drowning from the memories of my encounter with Camilla earlier. I didn't get to sleep last night. All I could see when I tried to close my eyes was Camilla's hurt expression,the disbelief she wore on her face when I inquired about those damn videos.Guilt clips my heart and I can't help but curse myself. Why did I have to do that? Why did I have to listen to Hector's words and doubt the authenticity of the videos? Most importantly,how could I doubt her like that?The door to my office is knocked and a moment later,Alex enters wearing a serious expression on his face.Yesterday,he left my office raging mad after confronting Hector.“Alpha,” he calls, “I need you to sign this.” He slides the document across my desk. Upon a closer inspection, I realise it's a leave-out letter. It's the kind we issue to pack members who want to leave with the option to return someday. My eyes catch the name at the top “Camilla Morgan”. My heart stumbles, and I feel the
