The online hate toward Camellia was growing by the minute. I couldn't be more thrilled.
At first, I was worried Esmond might step in to help Camellia out of this mess. But seeing how he'd done nothing so far, it seemed he didn't care at all.
Given the current situation, NovaStar would likely buckle under the pressure and fire Camellia tomorrow.
The thought of never having to see her again filled me with immense satisfaction.
I used a backup account to join in on the hate, adding a few more insults to the pile. Just as I was about to shut down my phone and go to bed, a message popped up on iMessage.
Reading it, my heart sank, and a sense of foreboding washed over me.
I quickly opened Twitter, only to find that Camellia's audio recording had shot to the top of the trending list.
I clicked on it, and it was a recording of Connor's conversation with Camellia after he approached her.
I gritted my teeth in frustra

Claire's POVHis scrutinizing gaze bore into me as I forced calm into my voice. "Just got here. Brought you some hand-ground coffee."I walked toward the desk, fighting to hide my fear.Fabian watched me coldly, silent.Only when I set the coffee down did the tension ease slightly."Dad… about my situation… is it handled?""I'm working on it. Should be resolved in a couple days."Relief flickered in my eyes. "Thank you!""Don't celebrate yet. If there's a next time, you're on your own.""Understood. I'll head to bed. You should rest too."As I turned to leave, Fabian's voice turned icy. "Claire, you'd better not have heard anything you shouldn't. Or our father-daughter bond won't save you."I bit my lip, feigning confusion."Dad, what shouldn't I have heard? I don't understand."Rotting pine pheromones flooded the room. Fabian's pupils slithered into predatory slits—a wolf

Esmond's POVNot long after Jason left, Aljean showed up.Seeing him, I was a little surprised.After being kicked out of the Dalton Group's list of potential heirs, Alpha Drogo had given him a subsidiary of the Dalton Group to run.I thought with Aljean's playful nature, the company would go under quickly, but unexpectedly, he managed it quite well.Though it still couldn't compare to the Dalton Group, making a profit of a few hundred million a year was no problem.Moreover, Aljean was always womanizing and rarely came home, so the father-son relationship between us was rather strained. Apart from holidays, we hardly met privately."Father, why are you here?" I asked."I heard you're planning to fire Fabian?"Aljean's canines grated with a metallic sound at the word "fire," a prelude to shifting.The silver-gray wolf fur suddenly bursting from my knuckles resting on the armrest, the pine resin pheromones of a new

Esmond's POVWhen I arrived at the hospital, Camellia had just woken up.The smell of disinfectant mixed with the bitterness of pine resin and verbena filled the air, and my wolf scratched restlessly in my chest.Due to a minor concussion, she could only lie there with her eyes closed.When she sensed me sitting by her bed, her lashes fluttered."Eugenia, I'm feeling unwell......" Her weak voice carried the sourness of lychee rose, and my canines punctured my lower lip uncontrollably.Seeing her pale, sweat-drenched face, my heart ached. I quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her forehead.As I leaned closer, she caught my pheromones and snapped her eyes open.Spotting me, she turned her head away in disgust. "Don't touch me."The rejection in her eyes was clear, and my hand froze mid-air before retreating to my lap.My pine pheromones seeped through every pore, triggering a dry heave in her throat.My wolf how

Esmond's POVWhen I returned to the ward, several minutes had passed.Camellia was asleep, though her brow remained furrowed in discomfort.I sat opposite Eugenia and noticed a bouquet on the table, which I found oddly irritating.Suddenly, I stood and picked up the flowers, heading out.Eugenia frowned and followed me.Seeing me toss the flowers into the trash bin at the end of the corridor, she caught up."What's wrong with you? These were given to Cam by someone who came to see her. What gives you the right to throw them away?""Calm down. As her mate, I have the right to handle these things for her."Eugenia sneered. "Regardless of whether Lionel is your uncle, you have no right to dispose of things given to Cam by friends."I glared at her. "Eugenia, I'm sparing you because you're Cam's friend. I have a short temper, and if you keep interfering in my matters with her, I might not hesitate to have your family

Camellia's POVEsmond didn't come to the hospital for the rest of the night.I was prepared for this, so I wasn't disappointed.After a few days of recuperation in the hospital, I was almost recovered.The doctor said I could be discharged in the afternoon.Despite the damaged mate bond, I was still the daughter of the Shadowfang Pack's Alpha, and my strong Alpha bloodline kept me somewhat healed."Cam, I have something to do this afternoon. I'll have the driver take you home," Eugenia said."I don't need to. I have few things, and I can take a taxi," I replied.During my hospital stay, Esmond only showed up once initially and didn't come again.It was Eugenia who had been taking care of me, and I already felt indebted to her."I'll still have the driver come. He has nothing to do in the afternoon. I have to leave now as time is tight. Let me know when you get home," Eugenia said hurriedly and left.I bowed

Camellia's POVEsmond quickly went to Hazel's side, helped her up, and glared at me."She's weak. Even if you're angry, you shouldn't hurt a pregnant woman!"My grip on my clothes tightened.Was he blind?Hazel was pregnant, but I was a patient too.She came to my ward to provoke me, and he automatically assumed I was at fault.Eight years of relationship, and it couldn't outweigh a secretary who had been with him for only a year."If you don't want me to touch her, don't let her flaunt herself in front of me," I said coldly.Esmond's anger grew. "Apologize to her!"I felt like I was hearing a huge joke.I had never seen a husband embrace his mistress and order his wife to apologize."Do you think she deserves an apology from me?"Tears welled in Hazel's eyes as she clutched Esmond's sleeve and sniffled, "Mr. Dalton, don't upset her... It's my fault. I'll do anything to make her less angry..."

Third Person's POVHazel bit her lip, a note of dejection in her voice, and asked, "Were you just using me to test Miss Sanders' reaction?"Esmond gripped her chin, his eyes filled with disdain."Know your place. I like smart women, but being cunning is foolish."As Hazel froze, Esmond released her and turned to leave.Watching him go, Hazel's tears fell.She touched her abdomen, thinking that defeating Camellia wasn't urgent now. If she could give birth to this child, she'd hold a winning card.One day, she and her child would outweigh Camellia in Esmond's heart.Hadn't he ignored Camellia, who was also in the hospital, just because of her pregnancy?At the thought, Hazel's eyes gleamed with determination.In another VIP ward on the same hospital floor, Claire was furious to hear Camellia had been discharged.How come she had multiple fractures and a moderate concussion from the same fall that only left Ca

Esmond's POVI was only taken away by the patrol when their wolf-claw badges knocked on the oak door.The scent of the temporary mark became faint under the moonstone pendant hanging from the law enforcer's collar.Camellia, wrapped in a silk robe, leaned against the doorframe. I unleashed my Alpha aura, "We're mates blessed by the Moon Goddess!"Her neck's crescent scar glowed, and the patrol team's chains hummed.Her fingertips brushed over the lingering marks on her collarbone. "I was indeed married to him, but we have separated. He suddenly showed up at my house today. Please take him away."The patrol captain tightened the chains that bound me by three inches, and the moonstone collar burned my nape. "Mr. Dalton, you need to come with us.""This is a misunderstanding! Cam, I was worried about you." I tried to make my tone sound sincere, but she seemed to find it some joke."Save that for the werewolf council report. If you

Lionel's POVI was reviewing lab surveillance footage when my suit pocket vibrated with an incoming satellite call.I answered, and Konstantin's urgent breathing filled my ear. "Alpha Lionel, Miss Sanders has gone missing!"My knuckles crushed a pen, splintering wood into sharp shards. "What's the situation?"Leroy whined anxiously in my mind."Her place is a mess. Her phone's on the sofa, but she's gone."Fabric rustled as Konstantin investigated. "There are drag marks on the hallway carpet, and in the kitchen...""Check it out." Cedar scent froze on my tongue as I loosened my tie and headed to the garage.A sudden pain seared my neck—my true mate was in danger.Unfortunately, without her marked, I couldn't pinpoint her location.Leroy's claws scraped my nerves."Let me take over," it growled."Shut up. Not the time to shift," I snapped back.Oddly, a flicker of anxiety stirred within m

Camellia's POVFrom Connor's conversation with that man, I figured out he kidnapped me for money.In a flash, everything became clear.Claire wanted me dead but didn't want to get involved, so she arranged for Connor to kidnap me. If I died, Connor would take the blame.She might even plan to kill him too. After all, dead men tell no tales.Seeing I didn't respond, Claire sneered, "If you don't call, you'll die right now."I knew calling Esmond was my only chance to survive.If I could hold on until he came, I might live."Alright, I'll call.""You give the number, I'll dial. But think carefully about what you say."She put Esmond's call on speakerphone.But it wasn't Esmond who answered. It was Hazel."Who's this?"Recognizing Hazel's voice, my heart sank."It's Camellia. I need to speak to Esmond."Hazel giggled. "Esmond's taking a shower. You can tell me what you want, and I'l

Third Person's POVAt the Pioneer Tech Group's CEO office, Konstantin rushed in with a document."Alpha Lionel, our cooperator returned this file, claiming issues with the experimental data. I can't pinpoint the exact problems."Lionel scanned the document and said, "Call Camellia."Konstantin nodded and dialed Camellia's number."Buzz, buzz, buzz..."The phone vibrated in the dark living room, eventually stopping.After several failed attempts, Konstantin suggested, "Shall I bring the document to Miss Sanders?""Okay."Camellia's POVI woke to the suffocating darkness of what felt like a trunk, my pulse roaring in my ears. Panic and fear gripped me.Kidnapping was unheard of in my world.They might kill me at any time.I forced steady breaths despite the panic, registering the vehicle's movement.Where are they taking me?I dwelled on the possibilities.

Camellia's POVAs I sneered, a burning pain surged in the back of my neck.Lyra growled threateningly in the depths of my consciousness, her fangs scraping against my spine.Each word I uttered carried the low - frequency tremor characteristic of werewolves, "If you dare go to my dad again, I'll expose your infidelity."The broken mate bond exploded in my chest like thorny bushes. The remnants of verbena's cloying sweetness in Esmond's cuffs stung my olfactory nerves."Are you not afraid of worsening his condition?" he said with a shrug, fueling my anger as my fists clenched."How could you become so shameless?" I exclaimed."Shameless?"Esmond's pupils swirled with the Ironclaw Pack's bloody totem. The fingertips gripping my jaw exuded a murky blend of pine and verbena."Cam, I merely wanted you back and to keep your distance from Lionel. You're the one provoking me," he said.I stumbled backward against the wall

Camellia's POVAt noon, I headed to the cafeteria and was stunned by its luxury.The food at each window looked exquisitely prepared, making my mouth water.I queued at a Thai food stall, ordered pineapple fried rice and tom yum soup, and sat in a corner.The first spoonful of soup tasted as good as what I'd had at a five-star restaurant before.I'd once thought it was an exaggeration that Pioneer Tech's cafeteria rivaled five-star venues, but now I saw it was true.Back in the lab, I started the afternoon's experiment.As the reaction began, I sat nearby, timing and recording.Suddenly, a message from Esmond came in."I'm downstairs at Pioneer Tech. Come down now, or I'll come up myself."I frowned, surprised he'd found out I was here so quickly.I called him.After two rings, he answered but stayed silent."I'm here on company business. You coming here won't change anything.""You cou

Camellia's POVI was about to continue my experiment in the lab when I received a message from Blanche, asking me to go to her office.I entered the office. Blanche smiled as she asked me to sit down."Camellia, how was your business trip to New York with Mr. Dalton?"I pursed my lips and replied, "It was okay. What do you need me for, Blanche?""Here's the thing. Headquarters highly values the project you're developing, and since it's funded by Pioneer Tech, they want to send you to work at their company for a while. This way, Mr. Dalton won't have to keep running back and forth to follow up on the experiment's progress."I was surprised and my eyebrows furrowed."How long will I be there? And does Pioneer Tech have a lab?"Blanche smiled and said, "I'm not exactly sure how long you'll be there. Probably until the project has made some progress. As for the lab, don't worry. Pioneer Tech bought a building next to their group he

Camellia's POVI finished breakfast, put on my shoes, and was about to leave for work.As I turned the lock, the smell of rotten pine and verbena remnants flooded my nostrils.Lyra bristled at the base of my spine. My pheromones crystallized from shock.Esmond's pupils flickered with the Ironclaw Pack's signature amber slits, signaling impending loss of control.I frowned and asked, "What do you want..."My words died in my throat as his palm erupted with pine needle pheromones, piercing my skin like rotten thorns.Lyra arched her back, emitting a silent howl only I could hear—the broken mate bond was retaliating through the contact point, searing the contract scar on my tailbone.Esmond grabbed my hand, yanked me against the wall, and pinned me there."I told you to stay away from Lionel. You seem to have ignored me completely."One hand held me down while the other slowly moved down my face, his eyes glint

Camellia's POV"Thank goodness you're up. That photo was taken by a well-known photographer. He casually posted it on his personal Instagram after coming back, and unexpectedly, it went viral. People are praising you and Lionel as a good-looking pair, a perfect match," Eugenia said.I was left speechless.Even though the photo only captured our profiles, anyone who knew us could easily recognize us. No wonder Esmond was so angry earlier."It's just a matter of shooting angle. I'll contact Lionel. Talk to you later."If this incident gets blown out of proportion, it won't benefit me in any way.After hanging up, I thought for a moment and contacted Konstantin instead of Lionel directly.Upon learning that I was inquiring about the photo, Konstantin hurriedly said, "Miss Sanders, our team is already in contact with the photographer to resolve this. Please don't worry.""Alright, please let me know once it's settled," I replied.
Alpha's Regret: Mated with My Ex's Uncle Chapter 72
Camellia's POVAfter Eugenia left, I was about to get my car when I heard someone calling me from behind.I turned around and saw Konstantin and Lionel walking toward me.Lionel seemed to have had some alcohol, his face a bit flushed. The top two buttons of his white shirt were undone, revealing his well-defined collarbone, and his suit jacket was casually draped over his arm. His inborn aristocratic aura made people involuntarily focus on him.The back of my neck suddenly felt scorching hot, and Lyra was restlessly arching in my ribs. The cedar cold scent had already pierced through the neon lights before the sound wave reached me.At the sight of him, I was reminded of the odd words Esmond said to me the other day.'Does Lionel have some ulterior motive toward me?''Since Esmond and I haven't rejected each other yet, he shouldn't be able to tell that I'm his true mate.''Anyway, he has never shown any signs of it.''Ev
