Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Betrayal, My Second Chance: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 7

~CAMILLE~ The first ray of dawn diffracted through the window and landed on my face, causing me to twitch my eyes and open them slowly. I stared at it without blinking, scared to move or make a sound. It was the morning of my birthday. I was nineteen—the legal age for every member of the Silverfang Pack. To everyone in the pack, birthdays were more than just normal days, especially the nineteenth and twenty-first. It was more like a feast—a celebration of adulthood and mating. Females got mated to their mates at nineteen, while males at twenty-one. That explained why nineteenth and twenty-first birthdays were a big deal for everyone in the pack… except me. It was just like every other day for me—ambiguous, cold, and lonely. Like a death sentence. I didn’t know what the day had in store for me, but I had to live it and endure whatever hardship came with it. Sincerely, I had anticipated my nineteenth birthday. It wasn’t a birthday to me but an escape route. I couldn’t wait to meet

~CAMILLE~Just like everyone else, I didn’t foresee that. If it had been a different man, there might have been a slight probability—but Cassius?He was devilish enough to redesign my face with a bottle. He never stopped reminding me how shapeless and ugly I was.Yet he was the same man standing in front of me right now, declaring his acceptance words before tens of pack members.I was torn between happiness and sadness. For years, I had longed for this day—when I would meet my mate and begin a new chapter of life. Unfortunately, my mate turned out to be my worst enemy. But he accepted me. Should I reject him or be thankful? Sincerely, I never thought any man would accept a woman like me, but he just did. And he wasn’t just any man… he was the son of an Alpha. Shouldn’t I accept the favor Cassius was tossing at me? He was ready to marry me despite my looks.“Say the words, Camille.” He broke my train of thought. My heart skipped a beat when my eyes locked with his. He glanced at me hu

~CAMILLE~Ugly! You are shapeless! I accept you, Camille Mullen, as my mate. I saved you from shame. Ah!!! Cassius Slade!!!Different voices echoed in my ears even when I was already dead. I guessed the trauma would follow me to the deepest part of the grave. Although it was pathetic that I had to end things the way I did, that was the only helpful action in that situation. Getting killed by Cassius was not my will. If I couldn’t get the best life I wished for, I should get the best death I wanted, and I did.My eyelids parted for a second. Everywhere was white. This would be a different world. Is reincarnation real? Have I really been taken to a different place? Why was everything white?“Why isn’t she awake yet? It’s been three days.” This authoritative tone hovered in my ears. What was that? Do I need to wake up again?“I’m sorry, Alpha. I will run a quick checkup one more time to see why she isn’t awake yet.” Another soft, monotonous voice wafted into my ears. What was that? Is th

~DANTE~She was more fragile than I expected. More fragile… and more dangerous.Camille. My second chance mate.Her eyes were too wide, too careful. When she pierced them into me, I felt naked. It was as though her eyes had peeled me of everything and could see through the plans I had for her.And when she spoke back without thinking twice?That wasn’t the behavior of an innocent woman. It was too chaotic for a woman who had barely escaped death. It was the behavior of someone who had been trained to be a pawn. She was fearless, ready to strike at any second.And the way she suddenly showed a sign of fear, flinching at every word and asking me not to come closer? None of those looked real. She seemed like one who had been trained to garner empathy from targets rather than one who had truly lived in fear for years.I couldn’t afford to be careless.The Silverfang Pack had been testing my borders for months, probing for weaknesses. We had been enemies for years, but they crossed the lin
