LOGINChapter 71 : HimHer POV I didn’t know how long I stayed like that, sitting on the bed, staring at nothing.The room was quiet.Too quiet.My thoughts were loud, heavy, painful.I could still feel his presence in the room, even though neither of us was speaking. It felt strange… uncomfortable… but also somehow familiar.I thought he would leave.After everything I said… after I told him I wasn’t interested… I expected him to walk away.But he didn’t.He stayed.I slowly lifted my eyes.He was still there.Sitting on the chair, not too far from me, but not too close either. Like he was trying to give me space… but still be near.His posture was different.Not proud.Not cold.Just… tired.For a moment, we said nothing.Then he stood up quietly.I watched him, confused.He walked out of the room without a word.My chest tightened.Of course… he would leave.Why did I even think—But before my thoughts could finish, he came back.He was holding something.A tray.Food.My brows pulled t
Chapter 70 : ReplayingHer POV I sat quietly on the edge of the bed, my hands resting on my lap, fingers tightly intertwined. My head was slightly bent, my eyes fixed on nothing. The room was silent, but my mind was not. It was loud. Too loud.Everything that had happened kept replaying in my head again and again.What happened that day when he chose another person Aurelia.The way she walked.The way he called her.The way he said she was his mate.My chest tightened just thinking about it. It felt like something heavy was sitting on me, pressing down, not letting me breathe properly.I blinked slowly, trying to stop the tears from coming again. I had cried too much already. My eyes hurt. My head hurt. My heart… hurt even more.Then I felt it.A warm touch.I stiffened slightly.Theo.He was behind me.I didn’t even hear him come in.His hands rested gently on my shoulders, then slowly moved, pressing softly, massaging the tension there. His touch was careful, almost hesitant, like
Chapter 69 : DecisionHer PoV I froze, my bag still in my hand, my heart pounding so hard I thought it might shatter. The cousin’s voice had barely faded, his challenge hanging in the air, when Axel spoke.“I agree,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “I can step down for you. I can’t let her go.”The words hit me like a thunderclap. My knees almost gave way. Step down… for me? I looked at him, my mind spinning. How? What was going on? Did he… did he really care? Did he really love me?The cousin’s jaw dropped. His eyes widened in disbelief. “Whoa!” he exclaimed, stepping back. “For a girl… you… you stepped down?” His voice trembled between anger and shock. “Impossible. Absolutely impossible!”I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. My hands shook so violently that my bag slipped slightly from my grip, but Axel caught it before it hit the ground. My wolf inside me stirred, confused, alert, but this time it wasn’t restless or angry—it was cautious, almost… hopeful.Axel didn’t wait for an
Chapter 68— Don’t GoHer PoVI froze as Theo’s voice rang out, sharp, strained, almost pleading.“Cousin… what do you want? Camille can’t leave. Please.”The word please hit me like a thunderclap. I blinked, my hands gripping my bag so tightly that my knuckles turned white. My stomach twisted, my chest felt like it was being crushed, and my wolf inside me growled low and restless, pacing angrily against its invisible chains.Please? Theo… begging?I had never, ever heard him like that. Not once. Theo was always in control, cold, untouchable, a mountain of composure I could never hope to climb. Yet now, his voice cracked, raw and vulnerable in a way that made something inside me ache. Care? Desperation? Protectiveness? All mixed together in a way I had never seen. I swallowed hard, trying to steady my breath, but it felt impossible.The cousin laughed, a low, cruel sound that seemed to scrape against the walls.“So… you can actually beg me,” he said, stepping forward slightly, eyes gli
Chapter —67 Thought ; The Last DayHer POvMy hands trembled as I zipped up the last bag. Clothes, little things I had gathered over the past year — all packed neatly, ready to go. Every fold, every corner of the suitcase felt like a reminder of the life I had been living. The life I had been forced to live.I looked around the room one last time. The walls were bare, but my memories were stuck to them, like invisible scratches. Every humiliation, every command I had obeyed, every single moment I had fought back tears… it was all here. I pressed my hand against my chest. My heart was pounding so fast I thought it might leap out. I tried to tell myself it was over. A year. One year. The contract was done. I had survived. I could finally… breathe?Before I could think too much, the cousin appeared in the doorway. His eyes were sharp, calculating, but there was that cold authority he always carried.“Camille,” he said, his voice smooth but commanding. “Let’s go. It’s time.”I swallowed
Chapter Sixty Six— Between Two PathsCamille’s POVI didn’t know how long I had been standing there.My legs felt weak, but I didn’t sit. My chest hurt, but I didn’t move. It felt like if I moved even a little, everything inside me would completely fall apart.The room was quiet.Too quiet.And yet, my mind was so loud.I walked slowly to the window, my steps dragging like I was carrying something heavy… something I could not drop. I placed my hand on the edge and leaned slightly, staring outside without really seeing anything.Then the tears came again.Soft at first.Then harder.Then I couldn’t stop.I covered my mouth quickly, trying to hold back the sound, but my body betrayed me. My shoulders shook. My breathing became uneven. My chest tightened like something was squeezing it.“What do I do…” I whispered to myself.My voice sounded broken.I closed my eyes tightly, but it didn’t help. Everything was still there. Everything I was trying to run from.If I stay here…If I go with
