Chapter 5

CAMILE

I gasped in fright before anger surfaced within me.

“You’re everywhere,” I spoke too calmly for someone who’s world was coming undone. I walked towards where I kept a secret stack of alcohol and took a swing from the bottle.

Vanessa chuckled darkly “And I’ve not even started with you,” she mocked but I ignored her.

“Trevor isn’t going to choose you, I hope you know that?” She threatened but I was too tired to try to debunk any of her threats. 

I have no idea if it was my lack of engagement that spiked her but the next thing I knew she was grabbing me by my shoulders and yanking me towards her… her advantage been that she was slightly taller than me.

The alcohol in my stomach turning fiercely, my head spinning as she raised her hand and smacked me across the face .

“In a few minutes, Trevor is going to believe divorce papers. Sign it! And leave him!” She screamed at me and juat like before, my eyes saw red.

I have been humiliated, betrayed, shocked, disappointed and now disrespected!? In one day!?

My body hummed with rage as I raised my hand. I saw the excitement in her eyes a fraction before my hands came down upon her face in retaliation and that was enough for me to stop.

She was enjoying this a little too much. 

I watched her eyes turn murderous as my hand plopped back to my side.

“What are you doing!?” She screamed and I shook my head, giving her distance.

Why did she want me to retaliate so bad?

“No.” I spoke carefully and wiped the blood from my lips. 

“I’m not going to play child games with you,” I said and that sentence invoked  a rage I have never seen. 

A dangerous smirk played on her lips as she suddenly grabbed the bottle of alcohol from my hands and suddenly smashed it on the floor. 

“Camile?” I heard Trevor’s voice from outside the doors of the balcony and in horror I looked back to Vanessa.

Her posture already looking funny, I was a fraction too late as she screamed at the top of her voice and fell deliberately on the shattered glass.

Trevor stormed through those doors instantly and my eyes that were widened in horror settled on Trevor’s face as it morphed into a muderous glare.

“I—I didn’t” I tried to convince him but then Vanessa’s father moved through those doors and chaos erupted before my eyes.

Trevor overcome with a bond rage charged at me while General Greg was screaming for physicians and soldiers to apprehend me.

“Trevor, no,” I breathed out  a fraction too late as his hands tried to grab my arm.

“I warned you! I told you to give her those divorce papers Trevor!” General Greg screamed and my eyes watered at the moment my wolf took form and I escaped Trevor’s clutches.

Trevor tried to catch me but everyone in my kingdom knew that I was known for my speed, which was why I was able to scale the walls of the building with a rough landing. 

I wasn’t concerned with where I was going until lights blinded my eyes and a screeching sound dislodged my steps.

Something hard slammed into me and I felt my body shrink back to my normal self.

My eye lids began to feel heavy just as I heard my name come from a familiar voice.

Vance.

I dont know how it was possible but I woke up in a different environment. All parts of my body ached like never before.

I tried to sit up but an IV drip stopped my movements, bandages covered my body and my eyes were blurry.

“Thank Goddess!” I heard Vance exclaim and fear coursed through my veins again.

I struggled against the bed, trying my best to run away from him but his strong hands kept me rooted to the bed.

“I’m not going to hurt you!” He finally screamed admit my mumbling protests and struggle.

My body betrayed me by relaxing against his soothing touch. 

I hissed in pain as he lifted his hands away from where he had pinned me to the bed.

“Trevor however,” he continued.

“I am going to make sure I help you get every ounce of revenge you desire on him,” he spat with rage. 

My lips moved to speak, to tell him that we only had a lovers quarrel and that it didn’t concern him until my eyes met my reflection in a bedside mirror and I gasped in shock.

My hands touching my face, my body … everything was covered in bruises.

“You are not the first woman he has destroyed. Not the first home…and if you join forces with me? For as long as I am your mate, we will get our revenge,” Vance promised and imgaes of how Trevor had allowed his greed for power and fame cloud his judgement became clearer to me.

Suddenly the voice that once told me Trevor had already betrayed me, agreed in silence with Vance.

I let a man take everything from me, now it was time for me to return the Favour.
