ログイン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.

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

Too quiet.“Camille.”His voice came again, low, calm… but heavy.I swallowed hard.“I’m here,” I said softly.He slowly turned to face me. His eyes locked on mine immediately. Sharp. Cold. Watching everything.“Why didn’t you answer me quickly?” he asked.My breath caught.My fingers curled into my palm. I could feel my wolf stirring inside me, uneasy, restless.“I… I…” My voice trembled.

Then another. Each step made my chest t

Even now, the thought of the cousin, of Theo, of all the chaos I had been dragged into made my stomach twist painfully.Then, I heard my name called softly.“Camille,” the voice was calm, steady, familiar.I turned, and there was Kael, Theo’s brother, standing at the door. He had that serious look on his face, the one that always made me feel like he could see right through me.“I thought I’d come check on you,” he said. His tone wasn’t cold or harsh—it was… careful, protective. “I can even cook for you, make you something to eat. You’ve been through a lot.”“You don’t need to do that for me, brother. You don’t need to pity me, I am strong “He sat downHe even joked a little, trying to make me laugh. I forced a small smile, but it felt hollow.
