Camellia's POV

I stood up, my voice calm to the point of coldness. "My upbringing isn't for you to judge. Perhaps you should focus on your son's moral education. After all, in civilized society, it's hard to imagine what kind of family would raise an heir who cheats on his spouse."

My words seemed to infuriate Priscilla. She was so angry that she picked up the glass of water in front of her and threw it at me.

I didn't have time to dodge. The water hit me squarely in the face.

Cold water dripped down my chin and into my collar, my hair clinging wetly to my skin. The fabric of my shirt clung tightly to my chest as it absorbed the water.

I instinctively closed my eyes, and Lyra let out a warning growl in my mind.

I suppressed my Alpha aura, which was on the verge of erupting.

This was, after all, a human restaurant.

"Here, dry yourself."

I turned, water droplets rolling off my lashes. In my blurred vision, I saw Lionel. My t

    Esmond's POVWhen I confronted her, my pine-needle pheromones surged with Alpha dominance, and the joints in my little finger cracked in preparation for shifting.She yanked her hand away, her expression cold. "This has nothing to do with you."Camellia's wolf let out a threatening growl, the moonlight slicing her pupils into vertical slits of golden amber.I quickly stepped in front of her, catching the scent of another werewolf.Just as I was about to speak, I noticed her shirt was half-dry and soaked through.The fur on the back of my neck bristled, and my fangs pierced my lower lip in rage. "Whose stink is on your shirt?"Camellia let out a cold laugh. "You should ask Priscilla that question."I froze, frowning. "What do you mean?""Go ask her and you'll find out."With that, she walked past me and left.I immediately called Priscilla, the engine idling echoing in the parking lot. "Did you see Camellia today?""That frivolous girl went running to you?" Her sharp voice was mixed wi

    Camellia's POVI thought Esmond would disappear for a few days after last night's drama, letting me enjoy a peaceful weekend.But the next morning, I was woken by knocking.Opening the door, I found him holding a bouquet of roses.The flash of hope in his eyes was painfully clear."Cam…" He stepped forward with the roses."What do you want?" I cut him off, irritation sharpening my tone.I wasn't letting him ruin my weekend."Cam, I found out everything about yesterday. I swear it'll never happen again. Has Priscilla always treated you like this? Why didn't you ever tell me?"His question almost made me laugh."We've lived in the same pack for years. Did you need me to spell it out? You grew up with Priscilla—you know exactly how she is."I stared him down until he looked away, guilt written all over his face.My laugh turned bitter."You had three years to notice how she treated me behind your back. Any Omega in the Ironclaw Pack could've told you. You just never cared to ask, didn't

    Camellia's POVI rubbed nonexistent goosebumps from my arms and rolled my eyes at Eugenia. "Stop, or I'm calling an Uber to escape this cheesiness.""Fine, I'll shut up."I forced a smile, but the loneliness in my chest refused to stay buried.Eugenia had dragged me out to keep me from wallowing at home.Since discovering Esmond's betrayal, the fractured mate bond had left my emotions raw.I'd cried alone more times than I'd admit.But in public? I wore indifference like armor.Eugenia, bless her, avoided mentioning Esmond entirely.She wanted me to move on—and so did I.After lunch, we hit Neiman Marcus.Under the Italian crystal chandeliers of the men's department, Eugenia's fingers hovered over the mother-of-pearl buttons of a Brioni bespoke suit."Let's see this one," she said. Before the sales associate could react, a drawling Southern accent cut through, "Wrap that up. I'll take it."

"Mark, it's them. They're trying to take the suit I want."Mark turned, ready to speak, but his face paled when he saw Eugenia."Ms. Hawkes…""Who is he?" I whispered, glancing between Eugenia and Mark."Mark Haines. Cliff's assistant," Eugenia said, her voice barely audible.I sucked in a sharp breath.Something about this felt… wrong.Eugenia was Cliff's girlfriend, but this woman was claiming the same title.It reminded me too much of Esmond's betrayal, and I couldn't help but frown.Tilda noticed Mark's hesitation and narrowed her eyes. "Do you know her?"Mark stammered, his eyes darting between Eugenia and Tilda.Eugenia's lips curved into a cold smile. "So, Miss Ogilvie here says h

"No, I'll check into a hotel. I need some time to think about what's next.""Are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?""I'm sure.

    Camellia's POVI stared at the empty Ironclaw packhouse, disappointment clawing at my chest.The full moon hung heavy in the sky. I'd hoped my mate Esmond would be here with me.Three days ago, I caught a whiff of unfamiliar verbena on his collar. I didn't know what it meant, but it left a knot in my stomach.Strong arms suddenly wrapped around my waist from behind.The scent of damp pine needles and smoky oak flooded my senses—Esmond's scent.His heated body pressed against mine as his teeth grazed my earlobe, sending sparks down my spine.His lips brushed the nape of my neck. I shivered."Where do you want me tonight, sweetheart? By the window or on the couch?" His voice rumbled against my skin, his breath hot.Before I could answer, he scooped me up and dropped me onto the leather sofa, his shadow looming over me."Since you're being quiet, I'll pick the couch." His amber eyes glowed with that primal hunger all wolves carried during the full moon.Our mate bond pulsed stronger unde

As I walked in, I was seething with anger.Priscilla was sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for me.When she saw me enter, she showed no surprise."No need to be angry. I've decided to keep the child," she said leisurely.I couldn't control my aura. The overwhelming pressure of an Alpha erupted instantly."Mom, have you lost your mind? If Alpha Drogo and the other members of the Dalton family find out, you know the consequences."I spoke through gritted teeth."The doctor said the surgery could easily kill both mother and child.
