Wiping the tears from the corner of her eye, Eugenia forced a smile. "He wasn't my true mate anyway. Even if he were, look at Esmond—he still cheated."
"But we're both so unlucky. Next full moon, I'll pray to the Moon Goddess and ask her to bless us."
Her attempt at bravery broke my heart.
"Why don't you stay at my place tonight?"
Being together was better than being alone with her pain.
Eugenia shook her head. "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. You know me—if I really needed you, I wouldn't hold back."
"Alright."
I didn't push further. After dropping Eugenia off at the hotel, I headed home.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Esmond standing at my door, his face dark.
Before I could speak, he grabbed my wrist, his voice low and cold. "Where were you on the nig

Camellia's POVAfter dinner, I washed the dishes and grabbed a book to read on the balcony, soaking up the sun.As I flipped through the pages, drowsiness crept in, and I dozed off on the lounge chair.When I woke up, the sky was already dimming.I splashed some water on my face in the bathroom. I was too lazy to cook, so I grabbed my keys and headed out to grab a bite.As I opened the door, I nearly jumped out of my skin—Esmond was standing in the shadows. I instinctively took a step back."Cam, it's me," he said, his voice hoarse, like he'd been standing there all afternoon.I frowned. "What are you doing here, just standing around?""Cam, can't you ever forgive me?"I stayed silent for a moment, then looked at him calmly. "Esmond, when you were cheating on me with Hazel, you must've spent a lot of money and effort on her, huh?""What are you talking about?" He looked genuinely confused.I almost la

Camellia's POVI glanced down at my bare wrist, then looked up and said, "I like it, but it's not practical to wear during experiments."He was silent for a moment before speaking again. "Cam, I don't mind you working, but experiments are exhausting. Back in college, you were always pulling all-nighters in the lab. I don't want you to overwork yourself. I can have my assistant arrange something else for you, okay?"I frowned, shooting him a disapproving look. "This is the work I love. No matter how tiring or demanding it is, I'm willing to put in the effort. I hope you can respect my choice."His grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly. "Alright, it's up to you. If you ever get tired of it, just quit. I can take care of you."I smiled faintly but didn't respond.Take care of me? Please. He was already "taking care" of that rogue on the side.Every penny he spent on her came from our shared assets. I'd make sure to account for ev

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

Camellia's POVThe pain faded, leaving me slumped in the corner of my bedroom. My clothes stuck to me like second skin, drenched in cold sweat.No amount of mental gymnastics could change the brutal truth.Those handwritten words from the business card burned behind my eyelids like acid.Betrayal turned my blood to icewater.I was the Alpha's daughter of Shadowfang Pack.My arranged marriage to Esmond from Ironclaw Pack had been strictly political - two powerful werewolf packs merging through their heirs.As the Alpha's daughter, my marriage was a tool to strengthen our pack.Elite education, zero freedom.The perfect future Luna candidate.That's why Alpha Drogo chose me as the mate for his son.He wanted me to support Esmond when he took over as the Alpha.We weren't supposed to feel anything. But after the mating ceremony's temporary mark... something shifted. The bond made me care. And now this?I couldn't believe he would betray me.The dam holding back my emotions burst, and ang

Camellia's POVThe door clicked shut behind me. Cedarwood and iron tang hit my nostrils.What kind of body wash was that?I sniffed deeper, craving more of his scent.Then it hit me – that aggressive, intoxicating musk only a prime Alpha could emit.The rock-hard muscles under my fingertips tensed.A calloused hand clamped around my wrist, yanking me away from the warmth I desperately wanted to explore.My blood roared when that velvet baritone rumbled, "Hold up. Who the hell are you?"He stubbed out his cigarette.Moonlight caught the glint of his eyes as he spread my arms, scanning me head to toe.His gaze lingered on my curves.A low whistle made me shiver."Damn, you're easy on the eyes. Wrong room?"I wriggled, trying to break free from his grip. I sidestepped and tripped him with my leg, sending him sprawling onto the floor.He landed with a thud, looking up at me in surprise.In the faint moonlight, I could just make out a vague smile on his face.I gasped and covered my mouth.

Lionel's POVI flew back to LA for the Ironclaw Pack Gathering hosted by my father, Alpha Drogo.But here's the kicker - I didn't tell a soul from the pack about my whereabouts. Only my Beta knew I was holed up in this overpriced hotel suite.I'd just stepped out of the shower, towel around my hips, reaching for my cigarettes and that bottle of Cabernet when my door burst open.I walked there and saw a drunken woman standing there, her steps unsteady.She was clearly wasted.I frowned, about to tell her to leave—I didn't want any trouble ruining my night.Before I could say anything, she stumbled into me.Her palms slid across my abs like she was checking for six-pack authenticity.My body responded before my brain could - typical werewolf biology."Damn, you're easy on the eyes," I growled, catching her wrists. "Wrong room?"But she didn't seem to hear me. She kept trying to get closer, mumbling something incoherent.I tried to push her away, but she suddenly tripped me, and I lost m

Camellia's POVI stumbled out of the hotel in a daze. My head was spinning as I tried to make sense of everything.Pulling out my phone, I drafted a text to Lionel."Hey, it's Camellia. Let's just pretend last night never happened? I was totally wasted."But when I hit send, the message bounced back with that awful red exclamation mark. Blocked.Great. I shoved my phone in my pocket, weirdly relieved.At least he wanted to forget this too.In the hotel lobby restroom, I splashed cold water on my face until my eyeliner stopped running.The sun was rising when I finally made it back to the packhouse, my sneakers crunching on the gravel driveway.The text notification made my stomach drop. Some random number sent a link. I shouldn't have clicked it, but my stupid thumb did anyway.There they were - Hazel and Esmond tangled in bedsheets, his bare chest covered in scratch marks.My phone case cracked under my grip.Compared to last night's pain, this hurt wasn't enough to break me.The mat

Camellia's POVI turned to leave the bedroom.Esmond grabbed my wrist. "You always wanted a kid," his voice rasped. "Let's make one right now. What do you say?""That was before." I yanked my arm free. "I'll have children someday—just not yours."His amber eyes flashed.Every Alpha-blooded werewolf had that possessive streak.Before I could blink, he slammed me onto the mattress, his weight pinning me down."Say that again." His growl vibrated against my collarbone.I bared my teeth. "I'd rather die than carry your spawn. You make me sick."His mouth crashed into mine before I finished.Pine needles and blood filled my senses—his scent. The temporary mark on my neck flared white-hot.When his calloused hands gripped my shoulders, static sparks erupted where skin met skin. The remnants of our mate bond were putting up one hell of a fight."Get off!" I arched with a feral snarl, fangs splitting my lip.Something was wrong. Terribly wrong.His thumb brushed my bare collarbone. Instead of

Camellia's POVThe man hurried over to the red-dressed woman, completely ignoring Eugenia and me."Miss Ogilvie, Mr. Doyle is in a meeting, so he sent me."Tilda tilted her chin toward us. "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

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."

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

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 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.Just as I was about to speak, someone handed me a few tissues."Here, dry yourself."I turned, water droplets rolling off my lashes. In my blurred vision, I saw Lionel. My t

Esmond's POVAfter dealing with that despicable rogue, I left the bar. Just as I stepped outside, my phone rang."That woman Hazel has been taken back to the Ironclaw Pack by Priscilla."Hearing this report from my subordinate, my wolf and I both instantly grew furious.I hung up and drove straight back to the Ironclaw Pack.Instead of going to my own house, I parked at my parents' villa. 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. At the end of the day, if you hadn't lost control, this child
