Chapter six

Camile's POV

Standing right by the window, I looked outside at the world I felt like I was no longer a part of. 

I was in a different place, a world that was different from everything that I had known my whole life, and somehow, it felt familiar to me for some reason. 

It did not make sense, but after what happened to me a few days ago, I had stopped looking for things to make sense. 

A sharp pain jolted through my heart as I was reminded once again of how I was betrayed, humiliated and cast aside by Trevor and his new.....mate Vanessa. 

Just thinking about both of them building a life together with their child was enough to leave a bad taste in my mouth. 

I hated it ...I hated it so much! 

If it wasn't for Vance, would I still even be alive? 

However, even though he had saved me, I could not bring myself to feel a shred of appreciation for him. 

Vance's castle was the last place I wanted to be at! 

I looked outside the window once again, and I could not help but be blown away by the sheer magnificence of the castle. 

Everything looked....elegant, fortified, intimidating. 

Vance's castle and pack were not open to the public, and everyone was curious about what it looked like. 

I was convinced that they would fall at their feet once they came face to face with this magnificence. 

I watched as guards went back and forth, patrolling the grounds of the castle. 

They had been doing that ever since I arrived here, guarding the pack and protecting it from any intruders, although I doubted that there was any alpha who would be dumb enough to attack Vance. 

My thoughts were interrupted by a sharp knock on the door just then. 

I frowned, unwilling to meet with anyone. 

However, whoever was at the door was quite persistent. 

Against my wishes, I walked over to the door and yanked it open. 

"What do you want?" I snapped at the person on the other side of the door. 

It was a maid, and she quickly lowered her head when her gaze met mine. 

Scoffing to myself, I wondered what was the use of pretending to be scared of me. 

Vanessa had acted the same way, and yet she had gone behind my back and gotten pregnant with Trevor's child! 

"What do you want?" I repeated, not wanting to waste any more time on her. 

The maid stepped aside and pushed a tray behind her towards me. 

"The..... Alpha....he said to bring you dinner ...he said that you need to eat...." The maid told me. 

I sighed I had almost forgotten that I had to eat. 

Taking a step back, I thought of something just then. 

"Where is he?" I asked, going straight to the point. 

"Excuse me? The alpha..." 

"I'm asking you where your Alpha is. I want to talk to him," I demanded. 

My eyes zeroed in on the maid as I said this. 

For a second, I thought she was going to refuse me, but she lowered her head once again. 

"He's....he's in the study.....he asked none of us to bother to him but ..." 

I pushed the maid out of the way, refusing to acknowledge her words about Vance not wanting any disturbance. 

I had barley taken a few steps when I stopped and turned to look at the maid, a frustrated look on my face. 

"Where is the damn study?"

......

Vance's voices filtered into my ears as I pushed open the door of the study open slightly. 

"No, I am not sending her away ! Do you think that she will survive on her own out there? Trevor is currently looking for her! If I send her away, it's only a matter of time before he finds her. We will be back to square one then!" 

Squinting my eyes, I tried to figure out what Vance's words meant. 

Was there any other reason why he had saved me. "But, Alpha....if she remains here....Trevor might trace her here. The pack has been closed to outsiders for a long time. If Trevor tries to use this opportunity to come in then...." 

"Don't worry about that. Trevor is not stupid and he will not do something as dumb as pushing his way in here. Anyway, I still need Camille here. There's no way I am going to send her away!" He stated firmly. 

"Oh really? Do you mind me asking what you need me for?" I asked, interrupting their conversation just then. 

Both men turned to look at me, and while Vance had shock on his face,the  other looked at me with a hint of hostility. 

It was only for a split second, but I saw it well. 

"Camile...what are you doing here? How much did you hear?" Vance asked me, trying to act unbothered. 

"Is that the issue here?" I snorted at him. 

Vance looked at the other man and he walked away after a nod. 

"Camille ..." Vance called my name, and he tried to reach out a hand to me, but I took two steps away from him, hostility showing on my face. 

I did not trust this man, I would never trust this devil! 

Trevor might have hurt and betrayed me, but there was no one more scary than this person in front of me! 

"You know what? I don't even want to know why I am here," I said, shaking my head. 

What was the point? 

Vance was a dangerous man and I wanted nothing to do with him! 

"I just want to leave!" I stated. 

"And where do you think you are going to go?" Vance sneered at me. 

His obvious mockery cut deep into me, but I looked away, unfazed. 

"It's none of your business. You need to take me back immediaely! I am going to take revenge on the people who hurt me, I don't need you or..." 

"Trevor tried to kill you, Camille,"  Vance dropped the bombshell. 

I turned to look at him slowly. 

"What?" 

My face went pale immediately, I knew that he had betrayed me with Vanessa, but killing me ....

I felt like throwing up. Did I even know the man I was with for so long? 

Vance sighed, his gaze zeroing in on me. 

"I am trying to protect you, if it weren't for me, you would have died a few days ago! You want to take revenge, fine! Do just that! But do you really think you will be able to do anything in the state you're in?! Don't be naive!”
