LOGINChapter 147 : A Rule That Cannot Be Spoken AwayThe gathering did not end with resolution.It ended with structure.And structure, in a place like this, never truly ended—it only paused long enough to be enforced in another form.When the hall finally began to empty, it was not with chaos or argument, but with quiet dispersal, as though everyone understood that what had been established inside those walls would continue to exist long after they left them.Camille remained seated for a moment longer than most.Not because she was required to.Not because she was uncertain.But because she was observing.The way people left without speaking too loudly.The way eyes avoided certain directions.The way no one confirmed what had just happened, yet everyone carried it with them as if it had already become part of them.Theo stood near the front of the hall, unmoving at first, his expression controlled, but his silence no longer passive.It was active.Focused.Measuring.Capsin approached
Chapter 146 : The Rules They Hide BehindThe silence that followed Theo’s words did not break immediately.It stretched.Not in defiance.Not in agreement.But in calculation.The elders did not react the way anyone might have expected.There was no immediate contradiction.No raised voices.No visible resistance.And that alone made the air feel heavier than before.Because open conflict could be challenged.But calm agreement… could not be confronted as easily.One of the elders stepped forward slowly, his expression composed, his posture relaxed in a way that suggested patience rather than opposition, as though Theo’s words had not threatened him, but had simply added something to be acknowledged.He inclined his head slightly.“Of course, Alpha,” he said, his voice smooth, measured, carrying just enough respect to sound sincere, “no one here questions your authority.”A faint shift passed through the gathering.Not relief.Not tension.But something in between.Theo did not move.
Chapter 145 : The Line He Refused to Let Them CrossThe words from the elders did not disappear after they were spoken.They did not fade into the background like ordinary conversation.They stayed.They settled into the air, into the silence that followed, into the attention of everyone gathered in that hall, as though they had been placed there deliberately, like something meant to linger long enough for its meaning to fully take hold.Camille felt it.Not just the words themselves.But the weight behind them.The intention.The way they had been carefully built, slowly layered, until they reached a point where no one could pretend they were still speaking in general terms.She remained seated.Her posture steady.Her expression calm.Her eyes forward.She did not react.Not outwardly.Not in the way they might have expected.But the silence that followed their statements did not belong to them.It belonged to him.Theo had not moved at first.He had not interrupted immediately.But
Chapter 144 : Words They Think Will Break MeThe atmosphere inside the gathering hall shifted again, but this time it was not because someone entered or because a physical movement changed the structure of the space.It was because of what was said.Camille sat in her lowered seat, her posture still straight, her expression carefully composed, her gaze fixed forward in a way that gave nothing away even though she was fully aware of every word being exchanged around her.The elders had not rushed into their point.They never did.They built it slowly, carefully, as though they were layering meaning over meaning until it became something that sounded reasonable enough to be accepted without resistance.One of them stepped forward slightly, hands clasped behind his back, his voice carrying clearly across the hall in a tone that suggested experience, authority, and tradition that had supposedly existed long before anyone in the room could question it.“A Luna is not defined by position al
Chapter : The Place That Was Not Meant for MeBy the time Camille reached the entrance of the gathering hall, everything inside her had already settled into a quiet kind of awareness that no longer needed confirmation to exist.She did not rush.She did not hesitate.She simply walked forward with measured steps, her posture straight, her expression calm, her presence controlled in a way that did not seek attention but did not avoid it either.The sound reached her first.Low voices.Structured movement.The soft murmur of a crowd that was already assembled, already engaged, already positioned as though whatever was about to happen had been prepared long before she was ever meant to arrive.And that thought stayed with her as she crossed the threshold.The moment she stepped inside, something shifted.It was subtle.So subtle that anyone who was not paying attention would have missed it entirely.But Camille noticed.Because she was looking for it.The conversations did not stop compl
Chapter 142 : The Gathering She Was Not Meant to AttendIt began like everything else in this pack—quietly, deliberately, and just out of reach.Camille did not hear about the gathering when it was first announced.She did not see the early preparations.She was not present when the instructions were passed from one member to another, when roles were assigned, when movements began to shift toward something larger than routine.What she noticed instead… was absence.It started with the corridors.There was a change in them.Not visible at first, not something that could be pointed out immediately, but something she felt as she walked past them, as she stood still long enough to observe.People were moving with purpose.Not rushing.Not chaotic.But directed.Groups formed and dissolved quickly, voices lowered as soon as she passed, conversations ending too abruptly to be natural.And no one told her why.Camille stood near one of the inner hallways, her gaze following a pair of attenda
Chapter Nine: The RiverCamille’s POVI was walking quietly, my mind still shaking from earlier. Everything with Théo… everything felt heavy, like a storm inside me. I just wanted to get some fresh air, to think, to breathe.Then I felt a hand grab my arm. Strong. Firm. Too firm.“Aurelia!” I gaspe
Chapter Fourteen: What I Was Never Meant to SeeCamille’s POVMy stomach twisted again.I pressed my hand against it and closed my eyes.The strange feeling had been coming and going since evening. It wasn’t pain exactly. It was more like a strong craving.Spicy food.My mouth suddenly filled with
Chapter 23 : Against the WallCamille’s POVThe moment I stepped out of the restroom hallway, I froze.Theo was standing there.The dim light from the wall lamps fell across his face, making his sharp features look even harder. His tall figure blocked the hallway like a wall.My heart began to poun
Chapter Twenty One : A Place I Was Never Meant to GoCamille’s POVThe kitchen was warm and quiet that morning.The smell of fresh bread and herbs filled the air, but it didn’t make me feel hungry. I stood beside the large sink, slowly washing vegetables in a bowl of cool water. My hands moved auto
