INICIAR SESIÓN
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.”Camilla POVThree Months LaterThe pack lands look different in autumn.Golden and amber leaves carpet the ground as Diego parks outside the main house. The air is crisp, carrying the familiar scents of pine and earth and home. I haven't been back since everything changed, and now returning feels surreal."You okay?" Diego asks, squeezing my hand.I look at him—this man who learned my truth and chose to stay, who spent three months immersing himself in my world without complaint, who holds my hand now like it's the most natural thing in the world."I'm good," I say, meaning it.We step out of the car, and almost immediately, the front door bursts open. Gina rushes out, arms already extended, tears streaming down her face."Camilla!"I'm engulfed in her embrace, breathing in the comforting scent of lavender and pack. Behind her, my brother waits with a warm smile, and their little Princess stands in the doorway, smiling at me."Alex,Gina, this is my mate, Diego." I say when Gina finall
Camilla POV I wake to sunlight streaming through my bedroom window and the sound of my alarm gently pulling me from sleep. For a moment, I lie still, blinking up at the ceiling, and then the memories of last night wash over me. I told Diego everything and he didn't forsake me. He said he wants me and would crawl to hell just to be with me. A genuine smile spreads across my face. I roll over, burying my face in my pillow, feeling almost giddy. When was the last time I felt this light? This hopeful? My phone buzzes on the nightstand. It's a good morning text from Diego. The warmth that spreads through my chest is almost overwhelming. This is what it feels like to be chosen, I think. To be accepted completely, without conditions or complications. I get ready for work with more energy than I've had in weeks. My reflection in the mirror looks different somehow. It's brighter, less haunted. The dark circles under my eyes are still there, but they seem less pronounced. Or maybe I'm
Camilla POV I consider lying but decide against it.“ Yes.”Diego nods slowly, processing. Then he reaches out and takes my hands, pulling me closer."Camilla," he says seriously, looking directly into my eyes. "I don't care if you are a werewolf. I don't care if you're a devil from hell itself. If that's where you are, then I will crawl to hell with you."The words hit me like a physical force and tears spring to my eyes."You mean that?" I whisper."I mean it," he confirms. "This doesn't change how I feel about you. If anything, it makes me understand better why your past was so hard to leave behind." He explains. I want to cry, I want to crash into him and hug him like there's no tomorrow, but I stop myself."There's more," I say, needing to be completely honest. "If we do this, if we really commit to each other,there are traditions. We would need to visit my family and if things get serious between us, we will have to hold a marking ceremony." I explain then hold my breath, waiti
Camilla POV At 7:00 PM exactly, my doorbell rings.I smooth down my dress and open the door.Diego stands there with a bouquet of sunflowers in one hand and a gift bag in the other. He has changed into dark slacks and a white button-down and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows."You didn't have to bring anything," I say, but I am smiling as I take the flowers."I wanted to," he replies, stepping inside. "A fresh start deserves fresh flowers." I smile at that.I lead him into the kitchen, finding a vase for the flowers while he sets the gift bag on the counter."What's in the bag?" I ask curiously."Wine," he says. "And dessert. I stopped by that Italian bakery you mentioned liking and got us some tiramisu."My heart squeezes. He remembered. It was such a small detail from a conversation weeks ago, and he remembered."That's perfect," I tell him. "I'm making pasta. Nothing fancy, just…""It smells amazing," he interrupts, moving closer. "What can I do to help?"We fall into an easy rh
Camilla POVThree days pass in a blur of work and forced normalcy.I see patients, do lab tests and consult on difficult cases. I smile when I'm supposed to smile, laugh when something is funny, project the competence and composure expected of me.But inside, I am numb.I haven't heard from Theo. Not a call, not a text, not even a message passed through Alex. It's like that night never happened, like he has erased me from his life as easily as he walked out of my apartment.I should be relieved. This is what I need:space, distance, the chance to finally move on. Instead, I feel hollow.Logan checks in daily making sure I am eating,sleeping and functioning. Alex has stopped asking questions, though I can feel his concern through his careful text messages. Even Sienna has been extra gentle with me, bringing me coffee without being asked and running interference when I need a moment alone.It's Wednesday afternoon when Sienna knocks on my office door, her expression uncertain."Dr. Camil
Camilla POVI bury myself into work as if staying busy enough will keep the memories at bay.It works and for some hours, I stop thinking about it all.I attend to waiting patients, handle lab tests where necessary.The routine should be comforting, familiar. But sometimes, it feels hollow, like I'm going through the motions while some essential part of me is missing."Dr. Camilla?" Sienna calls, appearing at my elbow as I'm updating a patient file. "You've been staring at that same page for five minutes."I blink, looking down at the chart in my hands. She is right. I haven't written anything."Sorry," I mutter. "Just distracted.""Is everything alright?" Her voice is gentle, concerned. "You seem... off today."Off? That's one way to put it. Shattered would be more accurate. Broken and confused. Angry at myself for being weak enough to let Theo back in, angry at him for leaving, angry at the entire situation."I'm fine, Sienna," I say."I just didn't sleep well."She doesn't look co
