At 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 POV
I 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. I lived in an old residen

Alpha's Regret: Mated with My Ex's Uncle Chapter 79
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

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 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 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
