The Lycan King's Affection TWENTY NINE
CAMILLE'S POVI had never been the type to believe in destiny or life being preordained. But at that moment, I felt my system falter. This was information nobody had told me. This was information that I maybe didn't care about before. My great-grandfather was a warlock. Maybe the same warlock that cursed Dimitri's family.I was in too deep now and I couldn't stop. I stared into the encyclopedia for close relatives. Victor Blossom was dead. So was his stepsister. My grandmother had passed from what I had heard and my mother had died in childbirth. Who was I to rely on to find out the truth about things?I peeled off the mask on my face because it was starting to pose as a disturbance to the research I was doing. My search led to a dead end because there was nothing. I was going to give up before I realized that most Lycans weren't infected. Someone in the castle might have existed at that time. Someone like that would have information that could help me. I thought about asking Dimi
The Lycan King's Affection THIRTY
CAMILLE'S POV Together, Neal and I put the records and the encyclopaedia back in place before leaving the library. I waited until he looked like he was all right before I asked, "Do you think we can meet the first sentinel today?"Neal turned to me. "It's evening already Cameryn and you haven't even had breakfast. You can do what you want tomorrow. But for now, I think you should eat."My body seemed to agree with him because my stomach growled in response. "I'm a nurse. Fasting is a requirement of the job.""And you are a healer in these walls. This job requires that you be healthy."It was nice to have someone look out for me. In a way, Neal was like the family I once had. He reminded me a lot of my adoptive father. It was sweet and painful to acknowledge at the same time.With the flick on his wrist, Neal called a servant over. "Could you get us two sandwiches? Bring it to the garden when you are done."The servant nodded in response before leaving to get it done."Two sandwiches

DIMITRI'S POVI cooped myself in my chambers until night arrived while I pondered on what Neal had told me. Milana had come by several times but I had given the Sentinels by my door explicit instructions not to allow her. I wasn't ready to face her yet.I was still reeling from the shock that I had a mate. A healer at that too. But why did it feel more like a burden? A burden I had brought upon myself. If I had been patient, if I hadn't lost hope that things were going to get better, if I hadn't been pushed to lean on science in order to feel better about the damage that my disease has wrecked on Eva's pack, would things have been different?The mate bond also seemed to be one-sided. I was the only one going mad with the desire to claim Cameryn as mine. Even if the odds were in my favour, would we work? Cameryn had children. She must have known love before. Although in the grand scheme of things, it seemed like that love had died and she was running from the man in question. The t

CAMILLE'S POVAfter Neal's heartfelt speech to the persona I had killed, I had walked around the castle, empty. My kids must have had the time of their lives because I found them in the lounge, fast asleep with Milana nowhere to be found. But she had set a sentinel to keep watch on them.I had taken them both back to the bedroom with the help of the sentinel and tucked them into bed before having a long shower in hopes of clearing my mind. It didn't work. Nothing I did seemed to make the guilt dissipate. So I wore something free before stepping outside the room and heading to the pool in the garden.A tiny part of me hoped that I would find Dimitri there. I needed a distraction and the last banter we shared by the pool had done that before. However, when I arrived, Dimitri wasn't there. Disappointment settled in my chest as I scanned the pool area, hoping to catch a glimpse of his familiar figure.The way the pool had been built allowed for blind spots. I hadn't seen him The first

EVA'S POVDimitri had been a no-show all morning. I even tried visiting him in his quarters but the guards stationed in front of his chambers refused anybody from entering. Even Milana of all people. I figured he was recovering. So I let him be. After all, the healer was still walking through the castle with her head held high, which meant she must have succeeded. Not that I doubted her abilities. After the immunity her healing had given Hector when I reinfected him, I conceded to the fact that she was born gifted. But she had done what was needed of her and soon she would be on her way. My goal now was simple. Seduce Dimitri Galdina. I had made sure to be subtle with my agenda when Dimitri was still battling his sickness because there was no need to rush. As long as his disease plagued him, Dimitri would not get married. But the plan was rendered useless by the healer. So now, I had to pump up my assault. As I slipped into a bikini which comprised of three triangles and straps, I

DIMITRI'S POVI roused when the sun seeping through an open curtain found my face. It wasn't soft or warm. The heat was overwhelming. I turned to my other side and in doing so, sleep eluded me.My eyes flashed open as I stared at the ceiling. My head was throbbing with the dull ache of a hangover, a familiar sensation after a night of excessive drinking.There were also flashes from the previous night that I struggled to piece together and failed to do so miserably.My memories remained hazy, like fragments of a dream slipping through my fingers. I vaguely recalled the sensation of warm lips against mine, a fleeting moment of intimacy lingering in the recesses of my mind.Milana maybe.Dragging myself out of bed, I stumbled into the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face, hoping to shake off the remnants of grogginess clouding my thoughts. The icy shock of the water jolted me awake, if only momentarily, as I steadied myself before venturing back into my bedroom.I had barely ma

EVA'S POV"Luna Eva, envoys from the Lily of the Valley are here," Amity told me first thing in the morning while I was preoccupied with what the hell was going on in my life. I turned away from my dressing mirror and faced her. "Envoys?"I remembered what the doctor told me. That it would be better if he spoke to me today. I did not actually think he would bring the whole pack. It made me wonder what this was about. I fixed my hair and immediately marched down to the lounge to meet the pack envoys.To my surprise, however, Hector's father seemed to be leading the envoys. It had been years since I had seen the man. For starters, the disease that Dimitri passed on to many of the pack members was eating at him badly and he wanted nothing to do with the Lycans because he was ashamed of what Hector had done."Beta," I bowed. "What brings you here? If this is another one of the pack's demands for me to rise to my father's–""No." The man cut in, raising his palm to my face as if telling
The Lycan King's Affection THIRTY SIX
CAMILLE'S POVIt had been maybe six in the morning when I woke Neal and told him I wanted to leave the castle.My job was done, and Neal didn't object to driving me. He did, however, insist I see Dimitri before departing.Fortunately, I managed to sway him from that idea.I was thankful the kids were still asleep when I loaded them into the car with my things, and Neal drove us out."I take it you're not interested in the curse anymore," Neal mentioned as we reached the gate.He opened a window, showing the sentinels he was with us. They let us through without question."I am," I replied. The curse couldn't be ignored, especially with my child in the picture."Really?" Neal sounded skeptical, his eyebrows raised. "You're not meeting the first sentinel?"Collins whined in his sleep, and I brought him onto my lap, stroking his head. "You mentioned he wasn't reliable due to his dementia," I lied smoothly.Neal's gaze shifted back to the road. "A broken clock is right twice a day. You wer
