Camilla povAfter my little encounter with Alpha theo, I walked home slowly, the cool night breeze brushing over my face. The pack felt a little quieter than normal or that was all in my mind.The cooling air brushing on me making my mind clearer. Maybe it was the kiss from Alpha Theo, or maybe it was Hector’s pathetic apology, but for the first time in weeks, I felt like I finally had an answer to all the questions in my mind. Whether it's worth it or the question about morality, I had come to a decision: risk it all. This bond between Hector and me—it had to end. There's a time I just wanted to get back at him,make him feel the pain of betrayal but after re-evaluating everything,I don't see why I should continue down that path. Besides,what started as a game between Theo and I had grown to something big. This is a matter of how I feel.I have been hesitant about accepting it, but I was done hesitating. He had made his choices. And now, I was going to make mine.When I reached th
“ No matter the choice you make, I'll always support you.” Julio declared and I couldn't help but smile at that, his words warming my heart. “ Thank you. You don't know what that means to me.” I replied. The professor and I chatted for some more minutes before he excused himself to attend to the patients. I returned to the patient files, rearranging them more mindfully this time. Just as I finished, Professor Julio returned from his rounds and turned toward me, his expression unreadable.“There’s someone outside who wants to speak with you,” he said. I frowned. “Can you tell them I’m busy?” Before he could respond, the door creaked open—and there he was. Hector. Dressed in a plain white shirt and dark jeans, his eyes focused on me with an unreadable intensity. I stiffened immediately.“Camilla,” he said quietly. “Can we talk? Outside?”I hesitated. Every part of me wanted to say no. But something in his tone wasn’t confrontational—it was... subdued. I could see the guilt written
Camilla POV It's been two days since I left the Moon lake pack. Alpha Logan and I have been keeping in touch, chatting from time to time.I have also resumed my duty as the pack’s female trainer. After training, I head over to the pack clinic to help professor Julio with attending his patients.I have been ignoring Alpha Theo despite his attempts to summon me into his office. I have been thinking about Logan's offer and his confession. True,I don't have feelings for him, but I have caught my brother casting me concerned glances. He won't say it out loud but I know that he is worried about me and my pending mate bond with Hector.Left for him, he would have already challenged Hector into dissolving our mate bond. But he is the beta of this pack and will one day work under Hector. It is not appropriate for him to do that.I also know that he wants to see me happy and with someone who can always protect me. That's why he has been making subtle inquiries about my relationship with Logan.
Camilla povA moment of silence stretched between us until Logan looked over at me and gave a small, tired smile. “You should be resting. Tomorrow you leave for your pack..”“I know.” I nodded. “ But I don't feel so sleepy.” I reply and turn to look at him. “I’ve been meaning to ask you something,” I said after a long pause. “You and Marcus. Why do you hate each other so much?”He let out a humorless chuckle, shaking his head as if the answer was too bitter to taste. “It’s a long story.”“We have all night.”Logan sighed and sat down on a nearby log, motioning for me to join him. I did, folding my hands in my lap, waiting patiently. He took a moment before speaking.“My father, the former Alpha, had two sons—Marcus, the firstborn, and me. Naturally, everyone assumed Marcus would take the Alpha title. He was older, stronger, and… hungry for it. But my father saw something in me instead.”I looked at him, surprised. “He chose you?”He nodded slowly. “He said Marcus was too power-hungry
Camilla povMarcus stood frozen, his arms at his sides, jaw clenched. His pride had taken a hit so sharp. The Sandra he was so confident about ended up failing to meet his expectations.The way his eyes stayed locked on the now embarrassed Sandra, I knew he was playing it all back in his head — every sneer, every insult, every blind assumption that strength only belonged to those who barked the loudest.Finally, he turned to me. That annoying smirk he always wore was gone, replaced by something… raw. Defeat looked good on him. It humbled the arrogance in his posture.“You win,” he muttered.“I didn't win anything,” I replied coolly, my arms crossed over my chest. “Tessa did. The very omega you and your little minions considered worthless.”He flinched.“Looking down on omegas, treating them like property—like they were born to serve and nothing more—doesn't make you noble, Marcus. It makes you blind. Weak. And pathetic.”He said nothing. Just gave a short, rigid nod before walking awa
Camilla I couldn't sleep last night as I kept thinking about Logan's words. I won't lie,his confession touched me but not to the extent of saying yes to him. Then he proposed helping me fight Hector to dissolve our mate bond. That made me teary. He was proposing helping me get my freedom without asking for anything in return.He was right though,I need someone strong to challenge Hector and if I am being honest, Logan is the best candidate. Of course, there is Alpha Theo,my secret lover and Hector's father but I know he would never openly challenge his son for someone like me.He might be attracted to me,he might want to fuck me badly,but that's it. I know better than to expect anything more from him. Yet that stupid part of my heart wants him to fight for me. It's like seeing a red flag and dashing head on to confront it. I should have agreed to Logan's help but I didn't. Although I didn't turn his kindness down,deep down I know that I'll not accept it. After tossing and turning i
