For Camilla Castello, her deepest desires were simple—love and acceptance. When her family favored her seemingly flawless elder sister, she sought solace in her ideal mate, only to endure betrayal as he cheated with the favored sibling. Amid nursing a wounded heart, she became a substitute bride for her sister, forced to marry the incompetent Werewolf Prince, scorned by the King himself. Despite lacking choice, she trusted him, bore his child, and discovered a hidden, redeemable side beyond rumors. Her role, however, reduced to a mere breeder, her family and Pack mere pawns in the King's game. To escape these monsters, she fled with her unborn child, vowing to return for revenge against the Royal Pack. Yet, the unexpected entry of genuine love complicates her path. The prince was back in her life, and so is another, both offering their hearts. Now, faced with the choice between risking all for love or joining forces with a newfound alliance for revenge, Camilla must navigate a complex web of emotions and decisions.

And today Salazar and I happened to run into her and--”I held my hand up to stop Cassain before he could go on to explain, because I honestly did not want to hear it, knowing nothing he says at this moment would mend my broken heart. I knew it from the moment I saw her face, that she, is his Rose. The woman he has been yearning for all this while, the one woman whom every single person in the magical realm knows of or must have heard of. The Vampire King’s one true love.It was so stupid and foolish of me to think I could have replaced her. To think I stood a chance occupying his heart, to fill that void that remained in his and mine. It was truly stupid of me.My eyes blurred with tears, but I did not let it fall. Instead, I released a shaky breath, then took a step forward, the shards from the brok
64- “Her Return.”Camilla Castello.It is quite funny, and sad at the same time, how fast life changes because one minute your life is going steadily, yeah? Every single thing is going according to how you want it to, how it is supposed to be and exactly how you dreamt of it to be and the very next, shit hits the fan and every single thing blows right up in your face.You are probably wondering what happened right?Well, excited about what the future potentially holds for Cassain and I, that day, I decided to do a little something nice for him as well when he comes back home. So, I seek out Ria for help, to help me cook something for him despite knowing they do not really have to it, just so we could have that romantic dinner like normal couples do.I thought the best thing to do was to give him something a bit in touch with his usual diet, so I opted for going out to haunt something, and then cooking it medium so there will still be blood in it for him. Ria and I set out early, leavi
63- “A New Beginning.”Camilla Castello.If I had doubted Adrian’s capabilities as the Alpha King, and him as the owner of the position entirely, then he has certainly proved me wrong. What I thought would ultimately lead to his downfall in the way that he won’t ever get back up from, he managed to do just that, proving his position and worth.I do not know the details of everything yet, but from what I heard of from Cassain, Salazar and Ria, he had managed to turn the tide around to his own favor—and it was not just his scandal, but he seemed to be on some mission to correct the wrongs in his Kingdom and reformed the place as a whole.He has exposed his Uncle’s deeds to the world, and though the man is no longer alive to bear the brunt of it, his image shall forever be tainted, even in history. And along the course of that of course, meant my name, my pack, and that of my parents have been cleared an I am no longer seen as a wanted criminal or someone with a bounty on her head.I kno
62- “The Alpha King’s Lost Mate.”Adrian Moretti.“Yes.” Camilla responded, her tone cold as she and Cassain slowly disentangled from each other, though their fingers remained intertwined with each other’s. I eyed the connection, my blood boiling a thousand times over but I reigned it in, reminding myself that this is not the time, and this is not what is most important as well.So, I yawed my expression blank again, then lifted my gaze to meet hers, ignoring Cassain’s because keep mutual respect from one King to another aside, he is not someone I am particularly fond of. Never was, and from what I can tell never will be.“You and I need to talk,” I said, to Camilla. Throwing a quick glance at Cassain, I added. “Alone.” I stressed, in case he would even think of staying.I can see Camilla tighten her hold around Cassain’s hand, an act that shows she seeks comfort from him in the tiniest details without her even knowing. Then, she answered, her tone strong. “Whatever you wish to say to
Chapter Ninety-One “In The Dark.” Isabella Kingston.“Are you sure you are okay? Because that is all I care about. I know this is all a lot to handle.” Grace’s voice filtered through the phone call, her voice travelling through the air pods in my ears to register in my mind.My lips slanted into a small smile, despite knowing she cannot see it. “I am holding on well,” I assured her. “I am hanging on.” I added in a small, but confident voice.I heard her sigh from the other end, obviously not believing me entirely but not calling me out on it either. Instead, she said. “I have not been able to reach Christian either,” her tone was laced with a hint of worry. “Carter said he is away for a business trip though it has been three days, and he has not replied my calls.”Me either. I wanted to say. It has been four days for me, and he has not called back, nor sent a text back. I have been trying to not dwell on it, because if I should, then I fear I won’t have the strength to handle him and
60- “Daddy?”Camilla Castello.I did not think twice, for I believe there is no need for such. The moment it dawned on me what truly is going on, instinctively, my lips parted as I met the gaze of the man standing across me.“I, Camilla Castello, daughter of former Alpha of BloodHound Pack, reject you, Alpha King--”“No, Camilla, please…don’t.” Adrian was quick to cut in before I could finish the sentence. In the flick of an eye, he was standing in front of me, his eyes glossy, and pleading. “Please do not reject me.”I glared at him, unwilling to back down. Instead, I curled my hands by the side and continued. “I reject you, Alpha King Adrian as my chosen mate--”“Please,” His voice came again, thick with emotion. “I…” He sighed, shaking his head. Then, he did something that caught me off guard. In the blink of an eye, the great Alpha King Adrian was on his knees right in front of me, his eyes pleading as he held mine. “…please do not reject me, Camilla. I plead with you.”“Accept it
59- “Mate.”Camilla Castello.Turns out the attacks are bad, but they are more focused on the Werewolf Kingdom, the reason is yet to be known. Only a few clans under the vampire Kingdom suffered the brunt of the attacks, but the werewolf packs surely have it so bad they are still finding ways to manage it.It has been over twenty-four hours since we returned, and I haven’t had a chance to speak to Cassain to clear what is ongoing between us. This cold air, I do not want it any longer, I want to get rid of it but it is hard when he gave me the cold shoulder throughout the drive back home and the moment we arrived, he was swamped with Kingly duties while I have a daughter to tend to. A daughter that makes my heart swell with guilt as she reminds me of the father she is unaware of, whom I had left behind to suffer not just the issue with his pack, but what could be his possible demise as well.I was determined to wait up on Cassain and speak today though, for I do not want to spend anoth
58- “Regrets?”Camilla Castello.Things went a little out of hand, a bit more than I anticipated. Turns out, all the Alphas were looking for the chance to oust Adrian, especially given how he ascended the throne and all. Which was why, the moment they got the chance given to Alpha Harden by me, they did not hesitate to fest on it and pick on every single thing about Adrian’s governance, his power weakened remarkably because of it, his dark pasts was dug up, secrets that were kept hidden all these years coming to light and things only got worse due to the sudden attack at the packs that required the summit getting called off in a haste and every one basically having rushing to head back to their places to prepare for the attack.By the dawn of the fifth day, everyone had prepared and was pitching their rides back to their places. Ria informed me that we were set to leave as well, and they were all waiting for me outside. So, I left my room with the full intention of heading downstairs,
57- “The Bait.”Camilla Castello.“But why?” I asked calmly, not in the slightest moved by his anger. Nah, I am too calm internally. “It is true, isn’t it?” I am supposed to calm and appease him, right? So I can get him on my side. Sure. But, I do not do ass kissing. We state facts, and find a way around it. “Is that not why you are always angered when someone brings it up? Because deep down you know it is true, or you fear it being true.” I added what I know is a fact.He glared at me, then pushed his chair back and got up. “I am done here.” I am right, he is in denial for if it turns out to be true, his image is on the line and so is everything he has worked so hard to build.“You know I am not your enemy,” I said, as he attempted to walk past me, making him halt in his steps. “I honestly care not for your daughter, so you do not have to worry about me running my mouth l
