Mag-log inCamilla's POV "I know you're angry," Jace began. "But listen to me. Cassian told me that he was going for a meeting. I didn't know he had other plans. I didn't lie to you.""I've heard you, Jace. You can really leave me alone now," I concluded. I didn't even want to look at his face. Of course, he would say anything to make himself look like the innocent one."Are you sending me away?""If you call it that," I shot back. "Your friend has ordered my father's arrest. I think both of you are happy now, right?""Why would you say that?" He stepped further inside, his voice rising. "How can I be glad to hear that news? We can plead with Cassian to let him go, and that's why I'm here.""I don't want you to help me. I don't want to see your face. Your presence here is nothing but a distraction. Get out of here, Jace," I said to his face, anger rising in my mind."I won't," Jace insisted, then turned to Kate. "Talk to your mistress. We need to have a peaceful chat. I didn't cause this. I'm n
Camilla's POV"I had to cover my face with a mask to walk down here. Jace told me that the Lycan King has left the pack for a meeting with the neighboring packs," I quickly said to my father after making sure the door was tightly locked."You shouldn't take risks because of me." Father sat up in bed. He’s been in bed for close to two days now because the Lycan King commanded it."You're worth every risk I take," I said, sitting next to him as my eyes met his own tired eyes.He squinted his eyes as his face suddenly filled with shock, making me suspicious of the sudden change in his countenance. "Camilla, why didn't you tell me that you were already pregnant?""Pregnant?" I asked, scoffing hard. "What does that mean?""I can see it in your eyes. You're pregnant, Camilla. Conduct tests if you don't believe my words," Father said, his gaze shifting to the walls. He didn't want to look at me. I'd suddenly become the vile daughter."I am not pregnant, father. I can't be," I defended as he
Camilla's POV“Didn’t you say you lost your parents to the battlefront?” Jace asked. I was as shocked as he was. I couldn’t even properly recognize the face of my father anymore.I stepped back, taking his hands off mine as disappointment flashed across his eyes.“I’m not lying to you, love,” the man continued. “And I’m so sorry. It wasn’t my fault either. I tried to leave the captivity land, but it was so tough to do so. Come and have a look at the mark on the back of my neck.”Jace’s eyes met mine as he gave me a simple nod to go ahead, promising to attack him if he tried anything silly. I took a quick look at the mark as the memories of the past returned, troubling my mind dangerously. I had to lower my head and keep my emotions in check.“Is there any problem?” Jace asked, gently pulling me away from the man. “What did you see? Why aren’t you saying anything, Camilla?”“He is my father,” I mumbled, tears dropping from my eyes. “Jace, I’m scared as hell. My father died right in fro
Camilla's POVTears streamed down my face as I watched Damon and Noelle step out. Their cruel words and harsh statements returned to mind, adding salt to my injury. I shut my eyes, hopeful for help to come through for me when I suddenly felt my wolf snap back to consciousness.I tried to crawl back to the middle of the room, but the restored strength gave me the energy to stand, causing my eyes to widen in shock.How did energy return to my wolf? I could literally sniff wolfsbane on my clothes and skin. Perhaps the effect was gone now, or my wolf was doubling up to catch up with the wolfsbane’s strength and overtake it.I tried to send a telepathic message to my wolf when a message came from nowhere. The voice was deep and low, but pretty clear.“Can you say something to me, please? Can you tell me where you are?” the voice questioned. It was a little shaky. I tried to reply but I couldn’t. Perhaps my wolf wasn’t strong enough to reply to telepathic messages sent to us.And then the v
Damon's POV"You should leave me alone. It's morning. Get back to your office," I said to Noelle. She was a sex freak, and I never found out until we got intimate for the first time. She could ride for hours without losing much strength, unlike me."I've got enough assistants to represent me till I arrive. Same as you," she whispered with her sweet voice as she snuck into the same sheets covering my body. "Don't try to do everything, love. Let your subjects feel the tension of being in a high position as well.""You know I always listen to you," I said, our eyes meeting as she kissed me on the lips. "And I'll listen to you now as well. Bend over and let me give you what you desperately need."Her lips stretched into a wide smile as she gently removed the duvet covering our bodies, arching her back and making seductive low sounds, lifting my energy.Our victory yesterday was what motivated me to be intimate with her for hours last night till we had to sleep together in the same bed. I
Camilla's POVRolling to the other side of the bed, I opened my eyes. Why did the bed feel so hard to sleep on?I pressed my hands on it and then I realized. This wasn't a bed. I wasn't sleeping on a bed. I had slept off on the cold ground.Where was Jace? Where was Avery? Why would they leave me alone on the cold ground? Did they take a minor break from the party? Were they going to come back soon?I kept asking multiple questions until I realized how quiet this place was. It didn't feel like a party was going on at all. Perhaps it had been concluded. But even when parties are concluded, there's still a little outward noise, not as quiet as this place.A loud knock suddenly came on the door as my eyes widened in shock. This place was dark, extremely dark—so dark that I could almost touch the thick darkness.Hold on for a second. A door?The party ground wasn't supposed to have a door. It was supposed to be held under a canopy or in a large space where many people would rock themselve
