All Chapters of His Betrayal, My Second Chance: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

~CAMILLE~The kiss started languidly. I saw sparks even as my eyes were closed. I didn't know how much I'd missed his lips until now. His fists clenched my hair as he tilted my head upward. Biting my tongue, he took advantage of the few seconds I moaned into his mouth to gain thorough access to my mouth. He swirled his tongue over every corner of my mouth, and I did the same. Our tongues clashed as though we were in a battle of tongues. Abruptly, he snapped my head backward, breaking the kiss. He stared into my eyes; love, affection, and lust filled his gaze. "I love you, Camille. I don't want to ever part with you. Stay by my side and hold my hands."He didn't wait for my response. He captured my lips with his, his hands firmly clutching my hair. Then, his other hand grazed the nape of my neck down to my cleavage. His warm hands penetrated my spine, causing goosebumps all over me. He smooched me, earning a soft moan into his mouth. He did that again, and another moan escaped my mou

DANTE“DO. NOT. TELL. ME. WHAT. IS. NOT. DANTE,” Thelma flared. The sound bounced off the walls of the meeting room, sharp and echoing. The lantern light trembled, throwing uneven shadows across her face. Her rage made the air feel thick, almost choking.She paced around the meeting room, one hand on her waist and the other buried in her hair. The way she emphasized every word sent a wave of shock through me. I thought she was for me, that she would support any decision I made. Why did it feel like she was really against me?“Calm down, Thelma. I didn’t think this would be as serious as you decided to take it,” I said. I really meant that. I didn’t need her permission to do whatever I wanted, but I thought it was only right to let them know the step I planned to take concerning Camille. Who would have thought Thelma would have something against it—not just against it, but against me?“You will do no such thing, Dante. You want to introduce her to the elders as your Luna? That will be

~CAMILLE~Dante growled and attempted to get up, but I snatched his wrist. When he turned his gaze to me, I shook my head, my lips pursed. I could see in his eyes that he was furious, and he could ruin things if I let him attack them with that energy. These people were like monkeys—you have to act like a monkey to capture one. To beat them at their games, we had to play in the same manner—manipulation. Act like I respected them when in fact I had no ounce of respect in my statement or tone.The darkness in his eyes erased a bit, and I saw his shoulders relax. He flashed me a smile and nodded.Retracting my gaze and shoving it to the elders, my lips curled into a sly smile as my eyes swayed over Elder Theodore. The short devil also had a satisfied smile on his face. What was that? Did he think he’d won?I scoffed. He didn’t even know what was about to hit him. If he knew, he would have been crying instead of smiling.“You sound like you’ve planned to challenge me today,” I let out for

THELMAWith my teeth on my fingernails, I paced all over the woods, anxious. My heart stuttered, running faster than usual. The woods felt too quiet… wrongly quiet. Even the wind seemed to avoid me, as if it knew what I’d done and didn’t want to be associated.I hadn’t heard anything from the people I sent on a mission. It was taking longer than usual. Had they been killed? No. That can’t happen. Dante cannot lose his temper to that extent. And I shouldn’t say never. He’d been taking arguable actions since the arrival of that wench. I wouldn’t be surprised if he murdered everyone for her.But I have to stop the madness. I have to protect the pack and myself, which was the reason I did what I did to stop the both of them.Flashback“You all are here when your Alpha has allowed an enemy and a spy to penetrate our pack,” I mumbled as I walked into the meeting room of the council of elders. They exchanged glances, brows furrowed and faces squinted.“How do you mean? A spy is here, and the

CAMILLE“How did you know the old oath of wolves?” Dante asked, putting me down on the bed carefully. He had carried me from the living room, up the stairs, and into his bedroom.I shrugged. “I made my findings. My instincts told me they would ask for the impossible, so I listened to my instincts and prepared for the impossible,” I responded, sprawling and staring into his eyes.The moment Dante informed me about the meeting with the elders, I started doing research and reading different books just to learn about the history and customs of the pack. This was the first time he would need me to prove myself worthy. I knew he didn’t mean it that way, but I really wanted to make him and everyone else know that nobody could stand better beside him than me. I wanted to shut everybody up once and for all. Every page felt like a countdown. If I failed today, they wouldn’t just doubt me, they would destroy the trust Dante had in me. Well, the four creatures made learning easy. It was as though
