All Chapters of The Alpha’s Contract Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter Eleven: The Quiet HouseThéo’s POVThe house was strangely quiet.I did not notice it at first.I was in my study, going through some documents that had been waiting for my attention all day. Papers covered the desk in front of me. Numbers, reports, signatures. Important things.But my mind kept drifting.For some reason, the image of Camille’s face kept appearing in my head.Her eyes were red earlier.Her voice had been shaking.She had shouted at me. Actually shouted.No one spoke to me like that.I leaned back in my chair, frowning slightly.“Troublesome woman,” I muttered under my breath.My wolf shifted inside me, restless.I ignored it.She was probably still somewhere in the house, crying or cleaning or doing whatever work the maids gave her. That was what she always did. Quiet. Invisible.Just a maid.Nothing more.I pushed the thoughts away and signed the last paper on the desk.The sound of the pen scratching across the page echoed in the silent room.When I finished

Chapter Eleven :MyselfCamilla’s POVTheo had me on his back as we walked home. My arms were wrapped weakly around his neck, my small wolf pressed against my chest, trembling. I could feel every step he took, the strong muscles under my hands, the steady warmth radiating from him. It should have made me feel safe, but my body was shaking, my heart still thumping from fear, from cold, from everything that had happened.When we finally reached the house, he gently lowered me onto the soft bed. My legs wobbled beneath me, almost giving way. My hands couldn’t hold themselves steady. I tried to pull my knees close, but Theo’s presence was too strong, too commanding, to ignore.He moved quickly, quietly, carefully, taking off my wet shoes, brushing dirt from my cloak, pressing a damp cloth to my forehead. His hands were warm, steady, skilled. I felt exposed under his touch, yet strangely… safe. I hated that I felt that way.“I’ll call the doctor,” he said quietly, voice calm but sharp, full

Chapter Fifteen : Poisoned KindnessAurelia’s POVI stood in the corner of the hall, hidden by the shadows.No one noticed me.No one except her.Camille.Her eyes found me immediately. Weak little Omega… yet she saw me. For a moment, our gazes locked. I saw fear flash across her face.Good.Fear suited her.But my attention quickly returned to the center of the room.Theo.He stood tall, powerful, commanding the entire hall like he always did. His voice was calm but firm as he gave orders to the servants.“Camille will not work anymore.”“Someone stays with her at all times.”“She is not to be left alone.”“She will rest.”Every word felt like a knife twisting in my chest.My hands slowly curled into fists.So this was what it looked like.Theo caring.Theo protecting.Theo worrying.But not for me.For her.For that weak, trembling Omega who could barely stand on her own feet.My lips pressed into a thin line.My chest burned with anger.All this… because she was pregnant.That was

Chapter 17: Silent TensionsCamille’s POVI was sitting quietly in the sitting room, my small wolf pressed tight against my chest. The room felt heavier than usual, like the walls were closer, like the air itself knew something had changed.Capsin was here, leaning slightly against the doorway, calm as always. He watched me carefully, noticing my frown, the way my hands twisted nervously in my lap.“Camille…” he said softly, his voice careful, gentle. “Are you… okay? You look… tense.”I tried to force a small smile, but it felt weak and fake. “I’m fine,” I whispered. My voice sounded empty even to me.Capsin didn’t look convinced. He stepped closer, tilting his head. “Remember… if you’re worried about anything… or scared… let me know,” he said quietly. “I’m here.”I felt my throat tighten. The words should have comforted me. They should have made me feel safe. But they didn’t. My mind was still heavy with the image I had tried so hard to erase—the sight of Theo and Aurelia… together.

Chapter Nighteen : The DoorHer POVI sat on the edge of my bed, hugging my knees to my chest. My room felt smaller than ever, walls closing in. My heart felt heavy, like someone had dropped a stone into it. The words I had heard outside, Aurelia’s voice claiming she was pregnant… they had shattered me.I didn’t want to see anyone. I didn’t want to move. I didn’t want Theo to come.And yet, a knock echoed at the door.“Camille?” His voice was calm, steady, but there was an edge of something—concern, maybe frustration.I stayed silent. My small wolf pressed tighter against my chest. I wanted to disappear, wanted the ground to swallow me whole.Another knock. “Camille. Open the door.”I didn’t. My hands pressed against my face. My tears burned behind my eyes. I didn’t trust myself to speak.The third knock was louder, firmer. “Camille, this isn’t funny. Open the door.”I hesitated. My fingers trembled as I unclenched my hands. Slowly… reluctantly… I opened the door just enough to see hi
