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 POV I lift my face and come into contact with Theo's penetrating gaze. He has his eyes fixed on me and his hand gripping Isabella's hand. His eyes linger on me for a brief moment before he turns to face Isabella." How dare you try to act uncouth during my son's welcome party? Are you disregarding the pack rules and challenging my authority." He questions Isabella. I fight the urge to smile as Isabella's face turns ugly." But, Alpha, she is the one who started it." Isabella decides to defend herself. I roll my eyes, not saying a word. Even a fool wouldn't believe that." Are you sure about that?" Theo asks with raised brows. " I have been watching and you are clearly the one who approached Camilla as she minded her own business." He added. With her lies exposed, Isabella looks around for support but finds none. She then looks back at Theo with a defeated look." I was wrong Alpha, and I apologize." She said. " But what about her, how will you punish her? She called me a mist
Camilla POV I chuckle at Gina's words." No one is doing that. Can't I dress up for myself?" I reply but the look on her face tells me that she is not convinced." Camilla,your dressing code tonight screams screw me, Daddy." Gina replies and I just roll my eyes at her. I look at myself in the mirror again. I do look like a woman ready to get laid. Is this the goal Theo had in mind for tonight?My hair is up in a bun with a few strands of hair left out to frame my face. My make up is minimal but it is still able to bring out my full lips and big eyes. " Maybe I'll allow it if someone worth it requests to screw me tonight." I say and Gina giggles." Good luck then. I'll be waiting home to be fed with all the gossip about it. Be careful though." Gina informs me. " I will be careful. As per the gossip,I can't promise you. I am attending a welcome party, not going to a sex club." I inform her and Gina laughs." Well, you never know what these parties could turn into. Might find a good p
Camilla POV My heart skips a beat from Alex's words." What do you mean by that?" I ask just to make sure I heard him right. Is Alex suggesting I should leave the pack? Why does it feel like he knows something and I don't? And at the same time,he doesn't want to be open about it?" After you finish your medical exam,find a job in the city. If you decide to start your own clinic,you can tell me and I'll support you. Just start your life elsewhere and follow your dreams. Find someone good and get married." Alex suggests. I take a moment to gather my senses,to confirm if Alex just proposed something like that to me." Camilla,I only want to see you happy. I want my ever smiling sister back. I feel like you are trapped in this pack. You've been disappointed so much in this place,I don't want to see you disappointed again in the future." He adds." But this is my home and my family is here." I try to argue." That's true but do you know what will make us, your family even happier? It's se
Camilla POV Theo's voice booms in my mind. I momentarily halt in my steps. That voice makes me excited. For a moment,I forget about my worries when I hear his voice. Even my wolf purrs insíde me in delight.It's crazy right? Me getting excited over another man who is not my mate. What is even more crazy is the fact that he is my mate's ' father '. I shouldn't feel this way,I should remember Gina's warning but I can't help it. I am indeed acting pathetic. Just learning that he has something for me and I am all excited, like I wasn't finally contemplating if I want to continue this wretched relationship?" I'll be there in a few." I find myself answering before I can stop myself. My feet start moving to the direction of his office. Standing outside his office,I knock. Being daytime,you don't want to be seen doing something as disrespectful as entering the Alpha's office without knocking. The pack has always followed rules to the latter and being Alex's sister can't save me from discipl
Camilla povI fight the urge to lash at my wolf and offer Hector a smile. " No need. I have everything handled." I turned his offer down. First because we are not as close as we were before and second because it's true, I have everything handled. The smile on his face falters but he schools his emotions immediately. " I miss the old us.” Hector suddenly blurts, a far away smile on his face as if remembering something sweet. " When we could be around each other without this awkward tension." He says gesturing between us." We had dreams too. You always wanted to be a doctor and take over your mother's legacy. You struggled to make that dream true. I remember when you were preparing for your college entrance exam and I teased you saying that you didn't have to study so hard. If you failed, you could come back and be my Luna and together, we would rule the pack together. " Hector continued reminiscing, a chuckle leaving his lips at the memory." And I snapped at you." I say softly, a
Camilla POV I haven't stopped thinking about what Gina said to me yesterday. If I want something,I should fight for it. But is there something to fight for to begin with? When we entered into this relationship, everything was made clear.Why fight for what will never be yours? I should be grateful and just enjoy it while I still can.I didn't get to sleep well last night, immersed in thoughts. Today is the last day before I head to the city for my exams. I am not in the mood to do anything so I decide to sleep in.I don't get to do that when someone knocks at my door. I groan and turn around in the bed,trying to ignore whoever that is. The knocking gets louder,so I decide to get up."Coming!"I yell at the door,while I put on a T-shirt.I open the door and find Gina on the other side. "Yes,Gina?""Good morning,sleepy head. Are you going to lay in bed all day?" She asks. She is smiling at me as if last night was nothing but my imagination. She looks nothing like the woman who scolded me
