Camilla POV
Alpha Theo's eyes widen with shock, then disbelief and lastly,he gives me an intent scorching look. “ Are you insane Camilla? What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Are you drunk?” He fires the questions one after the other. Alpha Theo is trying to come out stern but his dark eyes can't conceal that forbidden emotion flickering inside. “ I am in my right mind and sober. I meant what I said.” I answer and watch as he groans, pulling at his hair in frustration. “ You do realize what you are asking, right?” He asks and I nod. “ You are my son's mate ” He reminds me and I roll my eyes. I am no longer Hector's mate. He lost any semblance to call me his mate when he suggested an open relationship and proceeded to whore around the pack with every lady he came across. “ Even better. Since he thinks I am not sexually exposed like his slut. I'll prove him wrong.” I announce and surprise paints Alpha Theo's face. “ Let me get this straight. You want to use me to get revenge on my son? For cheating on you?” He inquires and shake my head. “ Not just revenge. I want him to regret ever messing with my feelings and taking me for a fool.” I declare,my anger slowly rising just thinking about Hector made fun of me that evening. “ You can't just request something so absurd because…” “ Hector suggested an open relationship. He gets to fuck whoever he wants and I can do the same.” I cut him off. I don't want to listen to his self righteous words. If Hector can be with any woman,I can be with any man I want. He allowed it himself. “He what?” Alpha Theo asks,a frown marred on his face. “ You heard me. Since he proposed it, I'm just playing my part.” I say with a smile. “ I can't help you Camilla.” Alpha Theo announces with a sigh. “You are turning me down?” I did expect some protest from him but a blatant rejection? That was out of my expectations. I can't deny that it hurts hearing his refusal. “ Camilla,I am old enough to be your father.” Alpha Theo declares. I roll my eyes at such a petty excuse. “ You are not my father. I want you Alpha. I don't care about your age. I want you to fuck me like I've never been before.” If he thinks turning me down will stop me, then he is clearly mistaken. I came here prepared and I am not leaving without getting what I want. “ Help me and help yourself.” I add, stepping closer and running my well manicured fingers across his chest. “ What do you mean by that?” He asks with a narrowed gaze. I can see the doubt concealed in his orbs,the silent prayer that I am not aware of his dirty little secret. I laugh triumphantly. “ You think I don't notice how you look at me? How you undress me with your eyes? How you wish you can drag me to your bed and fuck me senseless? This is your chance. I get my revenge and you get to fulfill your wishes.” I entice him,my fingers slowly slipping insíde his now half buttoned shirt. The Alpha seems taken aback, shocked even by declaration. I was right. He didn't expect me to know how he feels about me. I must admit,he hid his feelings quite well. I wouldn't have known if I didn't eavesdrop as he jerked off in his office as my name played repeatedly in his mouth. At first,I was terrified. After all, Hector was my mate. It wasn't until his beloved son pulled that stunt on me that I started thinking about him as a man and not my future father -in-law. “ That's nonsense.” Theo denies it blatantly,his gaze wandering everywhere except on me. “ Is it?” I challenge,my hands sliding downwards. I run them across his semi hard clothed member and he groans. When his eyes meet mine,I see the fire brewing inside. The kind that burns without leaving anything behind. My insides clench and something coils inside my stomach. “ You are playing a dangerous game, Camilla.” Alpha Theo tentatively warns me but I smirk in return. “ I am a sucker for dangerous games. I don't mind.” I squeal when Alpha Theo grabs my hands and pins them above my head. His other palm reconnects with my ass cheeks and I cry in delight as the pain sips through my flesh. “Are you sure you want me to fuck you? Treat you like my slut? The thing is, this lust I feel for you. This desire to fuck your brains into a mush isn't something I am about to do once. If I am fucking you,I'll be doing it every damn day, whenever I feel like it until your scent is over shadowed with mine. I don't share what's mine Camilla, not even to my son. I don't think you want to be owned by me so I'll take a pass.” Alpha Theo declares. He doesn't let go of my imprisoned hands though. Instead,he directs his piercing gaze towards me, penetrating me. “ I want to.” I whisper, anticipation and excitement bubbling through me. “ What did you just say?” He asks in a low and dangerous voice. His tone is warning, giving me a chance to think again. “ I want you to own me,to ruin me.” *** I am at the pack clinic where I work part-time in the evening after helping train the female warriors. I stifle a smile when my mind wanders to what transpired between me and Alpha Theo last night. It was wonderful and magical. I never knew my body could scream and sing for a man who isn't my mate like it did last night. The Alpha left me panting for my breath yet yearning for more of him. The door is kicked open and a fuming Hector saunters towards me. He looks like he is ready to murder someone – me of course since I am the only person in the lab room. “ Is it true?” Hector roars glaring at me. I frown at his sudden and uncalled outburst. “ What's true? What are you even screaming about?” I counter in annoyance. “ Isabella told me you went to my father's office last night and left hours later with disheveled clothes.” Hector blatantly accuses. I am not offended. On the contrary,I smile at him. “You asked your whore to monitor my moves?” I scoff. “ I don't have time for your games. You better give me an answer right this moment.” Hector declares,an ugly look in his face. My smile instantly drops and is replaced by an annoyed look. “ So what if I did? Do you have a problem with that?” I retort. It's unbelievable how he thinks he can question what I do yet goes around sleeping with everywoman available “ I always thought you had Daddy issues but isn't this going too far? That's my fucking Dad.” Hector roars,the veins on his face popping one after the other. “ I know that. But so what? Your father wants a taste of me. He said I am perfect for him. He is nothing compared to you.” I counter with a smug look on my face. His anger is like a snack for me. I feed it, relishing the sweet taste. “ You fucked my father?” Hector asks,a look of disbelief and a hint of pain flickering in his face. “ Come on, that shouldn't surprise you,right? After all,you suggested an open relationship first. I am just enjoying the specks of your suggestions.” I reply openly. “ Are you that desperate for my attention that you stooped low to sleep with a man old enough to be your father?” Hector screams and I shrug. “ What's going on here?” A familiar voice sounds and we both turn around to face the person.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
Camilla POVThe words hit me like a punch to the gut, stealing my breath. “Poisoned?” I repeat, my voice shaking. “What do you mean by that? Who would be so brazen to poison you,the Alpha?” I ask in shock.Logan shakes his head, “I don’t know for sure that's why I said I think I am poisoned.Nothing is showing up in my tests. No toxins, no traces. But I’ve been feeling… off for weeks. The migraines, the dizziness, the way my strength just… vanishes sometimes. It’s not normal, Camilla. I’ve been through too much to start fading away out of nothing.” Logan explains.My mind races, piercing together the symptoms, and trying to make sense of it. A poison that doesn’t show up in tests? That’s rare, almost impossible. But Logan is not the type to jump to conclusions. If he thinks this is poison, he has a reason. “Have you told anyone else?” I ask, my voice low.He shakes his head again. “Just you. I didn’t want to cause a panic, especially not with Marcus. He would definitely use it against
Camilla POV My heart is pounding in my chest,my car’s engine roaring as I speed toward Moon Lake Pack. The call from Tessa still echoes in my ears, her voice trembling with panic as she told me Logan passed out and is in critical condition.Logan has been a constant presence in my life throughout the mess with Logan and even though I don't love him romantically,I care enough to panic at such news. I didn’t think twice before grabbing my keys and racing out of the pack clinic. I left everything behind,the patient's files as I raced to my house,grabbed my car keys and drove off.I didn't even hear what Alex shouted after me as I was leaving.All I could think about was getting to him, making sure he’s okay. The worry gnaws at me.The road blurs past,my hands grip the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles are white. “Please be okay, Logan. Please.” I murmur to myself. Tessa sounded really panicked and that has left me unsettled.I don’t know what I will do if something happens to him.
Camilla POVIt’s been a week since I severed the mate bond with Hector. Seven days since I stood in that meeting hall and rejected him. Seven days since I felt the bond snap, like a thread pulled too tight, carrying with it the promises we made and the betrayal that followed.Dissolving the bond is all I wanted but I didn't anticipate that it would leave an ache in my chest that hasn’t fully faded.I don't regret any of the decisions I made. I keep telling myself I am okay. I have to be okay but then comes those moments. Those quiet moments, when I am alone with my thoughts and they creep in. The what-ifs. The memories of Hector and I before everything fell apart,his smiles,the promises we made when we were young and stupid and thought love could fix everything. I shake my head, pushing those thoughts away. That is not my life anymore. That's a life I discarded because what's the use of making promises only to be broken? I’m free now. Free to rebuild my life again to find myself.
