Camilla povAlpha Theo gave me an intense look after hearing my confession. It's like he didn't expect me to say that. “Camilla,” he said, his voice low, almost a growl. He stepped closer, his hand still holding mine, warm and steady. “You mean that? I make you happy?” he asked, clearly seeking clarification. I swallowed, my throat tight. “Yeah. I do. You make me happy and although I know…” I didn't get to finish my statement as he placed his fingers on my lips. “ Don't say anything else, Camilla. Don't ruin those beautiful words you just whispered to me.” He said with a pleading look on his face. I could only nod in agreement. His eyes softened, but the intensity didn’t fade. He reached out, brushing a strand of hair from my face, his fingers lingering against my cheek. My skin tingled under his touch, and I couldn’t look away. The air between us felt like it was being charged.I should’ve pulled back, I should have said we needed to slow down, but my body had other ideas.I lean
Theo POV The door to my office was pushed open and an angry Camilla stormed in. The look on her face said it all. “Why didn't you tell me?”she threw the question at me, a glare on her face. I frowned,not quite understanding what she was talking about. “Tell you? tell you what?” I asked back. Camila looked at me as if she was trying to tell me that I should stop playing games with her.I was honestly clueless about what she was angry about or whatever it is I was supposed to tell her that clearly I didn't. “Why did you tell me that Hector was leaving the pack? Why did you have to break the news in the cruelest way?” She accused me. Now I was even more confused.“Was I supposed to tell you when the two of you were clearly on bad terms?”I asked and she glared at me.“ What do you think? I informed you that I was planning to dissolve the mate bond with Hector. For that to happen, he was supposed to be present and now, you announce that he is planning to leave on his Alpha training.
Camilla POV I stood outside the pack meeting hall where the elders were having a meeting with Alpha Theo. Gina stood besides me, her hands clutching mine tightly. I could see the anxiety in her eyes,but she still smiled at me with encouragement. “Don't fret, we are going to do this. Together.” She reminded me and I nodded.Yesterday as I took a walk at the pack,I made my decision and that's why I am here waiting for the elders to finish their meeting then present my request to them. After a few minutes of waiting, one of the guards left the hall and approached us. “The Alpha and the rest are waiting,” he announced. “Thank you, we will be there shortly.”Gina replied with a smile. She then turned to look at me.“Ready?” she asked and I nodded ,giving her a reassuring smile.“Excellent. you are going to stand before them elders and present your petition like the beta and warrior you are Camilla. Whatever decision you have made, don't let anybody intimidate you into giving in or tr
Camilla pov When we finally left the restaurant, the moon was high, and the air had turned chilly. Logan draped his jacket over my shoulders, his fingers brushing my arm. “You cold?” he asked.“A little,” I admitted, pulling the jacket tighter. “Thanks.” I said with a smile on my face. Logan led me back to his car and opened the door for me. I could not help but giggle. “ You are quite the gentleman.” I commented and he flashed me a grin. “ Only to those I care about and want to impress.” He replied. He circled the car and stepped inside, taking the driver's seat. He drove me back to the packhouse, the silence between us comfortable. When we pulled up to my house, he turned to me, his expression serious. “ Thanks for agreeing to go out with me. I had a wonderful evening.” He confessed.“ I should be the one thanking you. Goddess knew I needed that break and company.” I replied. Staying alone and getting lost in my thoughts was taking a toil on my mental health. I couldn't be mo
Camilla POVThe restaurant that Logan took me to was cosy, with soft music playing and fairy lights strung across the patio. The lake sparkled under the evening sun and the breeze carried the scent of water and grilled food. Logan and I sat at a small table outside.“ This spot is perfect for an evening like today.” Logan commented with a smile.“ Then we will take it.” I gladly agreed.Logan looked handsome in a dark shirt, his blue eyes catching the light as he smiled. I smoothed my red dress, trying to ignore the nervous flutter in my stomach. This was just a date, I reminded myself. Just a night out with a friend. Nothing more.The waitress made her way to us and we placed our orders. “ A glass of wine as we wait for the main dish?” Logan suggested and I nodded in agreement. A minute later , the lady returned with our order. “So,” Logan said, leaning back with a grin, “tell me something I don’t know about you, Camilla. What’s your secret talent?”I laughed, sipping my wine to
Camilla povThe pack clinic was too quiet,the kind that makes your thoughts too loud. I sat at my desk,typing patient records into the computer, trying to keep my mind busy. After the short conversation I had with Alpha Theo last night, I have been feeling like a weight has been lifted off me.Today,I decided to throw myself into work. It was easier than facing the mess of emotions swirling inside me—Hector, Logan, and Theo’s piercing gaze that seemed to see right through me. I shook my head, focusing on the screen. I didn't need to feel bad about choosing myself. A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts followed by a familiar scent of pine and something warm, like a summer forest. Alpha Logan. My lips curved into a smile before I could stop them. “Come in,” I called.The door swung open, and there he was, filling the doorway with his broad shoulders and easy confidence. Logan’s blue eyes sparkled as they met mine, and his smile was warm, like he was genuinely happy to see
