Camilla POV

I whip my head so fast it almost snaps. My eyes widen at the sight of Tessa looking like she could strangle Sandra to death with her eyes only.

I swallow, unsure what to say.

Tessa turns to look at me ,her eyes searching my face.

“ Camilla,why is this bitch here and what does she mean by Marcus said you should wear this dress?” Tessa repeats.

“ Who are you calling names?” Sandra fires back,her eyes twitching like she could jump at Tessa and tear her apart.

“ Obviously it's you. Who else?” Tessa answers back with a sneer.

“ Stop it both of you!” I say before things escalate further. The two have always been sworn enemies and the last thing I want is having them fight in my presence.

I grab the dress from Sandra, “ you can leave now. I got the message.” I say then slam the door on her face. Once inside,I make my way to my bed with Tessa following behind me.

I know she has questions, questions that need answers but am I ready to answer them right now?

She doesn't say a word

  • My Alpha Mate Wants An Open Relationship   the antidote

    Camilla pov"Someone is here to see you." Marcus informs me. The grin on his face tells me that he might be plotting something. "Who is it? " I ask, fidgeting with the hem of my dress. I haven't talked to Sandra since earlier and she has not tried to contact me either. It's not like she could have without arousing any suspicion from Marcus who has been stuck around me, giving me no room to breathe. "Someone who came all the way from your pack to see you." Marcus informs me. I can't help but frown at that. Someone from my pack? Who could it be? I open my mouth to ask who but shut it when I realize that Marcus isn't going to tell me about it. " Okay. I'll be there." I inform him. Marcus nods then turns around to leave the room only to halt by the door. " Our engagement is in two days. After the ceremony, you'll be staying here until our deal ends." Marcus declares. I clench my hands into fists to hide the anger and disdain in my heart. If I didn't hear from Sandra that he plans to

  • My Alpha Mate Wants An Open Relationship   trust me

    Camilla POVMarcus’ words hang in the air like a storm cloud as he walks away, his back straight, his steps confident, like he’s already won. My heart pounds so hard it hurts, and my hands tremble at my sides. The courtyard is quiet now, the sun dipping low, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. It’s beautiful, but it feels wrong, like the world shouldn’t be allowed to look so calm when everything inside me is falling apart. Sandra’s out there somewhere, risking everything to get the antidote, and I’m stuck here, playing Marcus’ game, pretending to be his fiancée while my best friend fights for his life.I take a shaky breath and head back to my house, my feet moving on autopilot. Every step feels heavy, like I’m carrying the weight of my lies, my deal with Marcus, and the hope that Sandra’s plan will work. What if she doesn’t find it? What if Marcus catches her? The thought makes my stomach twist, and I quicken my pace, needing to be alone, needing to think.When I reach my

  • My Alpha Mate Wants An Open Relationship   that's all

    Camilla POVMarcus sits across from me with a smile so confident like he has already won some game I didn’t know we were playing. He has been talking for what feels like forever, laying out plans for our engagement. I haven't been paying attention to anything he has been saying but I can tell one thing, every word drips with control.It feels like he is scripting my life and it makes my skin crawl. All I can think about facing him is what Sandra said to me the other day.It’s been three days since Sandra and I made our deal, three days since she promised to get me the antidote for Logan. Today is the day she is supposed to deliver and all I have to do, according to our plan is keep Marcus busy. I have to keep him distracted so that she can carry out her mission with success.However,sitting here and watching him smirk, all I can see is his betrayal. His viciousness. The way he’s willing to sacrifice anyone,me, Sandra, even Logan. As long as he gets what he wants,he doesn't give a

  • My Alpha Mate Wants An Open Relationship   too late

    Sandra POVAs I close the door behind me,I can't help but wonder about the cloaked woman who just entered Marcus' office. I can tell she is a lady with a look of her frame.But,who is she? Why did Marcus recognize her just from a feather? And why does her silhouette look familiar ? The thought is enough to make my stomach twist.For a moment, I think of my sister, Vivian, but I shake my head, pushing the thought away. Vivian has been dead for five years. It can’t be her. After she died,I wandered around with no directions or purpose until Marcus found me.People say that he is heartless but he gave me a new life and a purpose.Curiosity gnaws at me and I know I shouldn’t intrude but I can’t help myself. Against my better judgment, I press my ear to the door and hold my breath as their voices filter through. I catch fragments of their conversation. Something about a plan and Logan. I also hear Marcus mention about the poison.My blood runs cold. Why would he discuss the poison with

  • My Alpha Mate Wants An Open Relationship   falling for her?

    Marcus’ POVCamilla’s question hits me like a punch to the gut. “Are you falling in love with me?” Her voice is sharp, trembling with anger and something else—fear, maybe. I freeze, my breath catching, and for a split second, I’m caught off guard. Love? Me? The idea is so ridiculous it almost makes me laugh, but the way her eyes burn into mine, searching for the truth, makes my chest tighten. I recover quickly, forcing a sarcastic chuckle. “Love?” I say, my voice dripping with mockery. “You think I’m capable of that? With you?”Her jaw tightens, and she steps closer, her hands balled into fists. “Then why are you acting like this, Marcus? Getting all possessive, freaking out because I was with Logan? If this is just a game to you, why do you care who I’m close to?”Her words sting more than I expect, and I’m momentarily speechless. Why *did* I react like that? Seeing her in Logan’s arms, his hands on her, sent a surge of anger through me I couldn’t control. It wasn’t part of the plan,

  • My Alpha Mate Wants An Open Relationship   falling for me

    Camilla POV After leaving Marcus quarters to collect Logan's dosage for the day,I head straight to the pack clinic to prepare something for him to eat. Tessa informed me that he has been sad, rarely leaving his office and refusing to eat. His body is still weak and the more he skips his meals,the long time it will take him to recover.I have done so much, sacrificed my pride to strike a deal with Marcus to allow him to throw his life away like that. I won't allow it. That's why I am busy making his favourite soup, chicken herbal soup.I have heard the pack members murmur about my betrayal,how I sided with Marcus to hurt Logan after everything he did for me. I can't say that hearing those accusations doesn't sting but what should I do? It's not far from the truth anyway. I don't bother explaining myself to them. I mean,what am I supposed to tell them? That I made a deal with Marcus to save their Alpha? Will they believe it? And if they do,the consequences of revealing that are too
