Camilla’s POV:I jerked awake with a gasp. It felt like my whole body was on fire. I looked around and saw that the others were sleeping. Slowly, I got up from bed and wrapped my arms around my burning stomach.I couldn’t think of anywhere else to go, so I grabbed the spare key Seth had given me and made my way up the elevator to the Ranking floor. As soon as the elevator door dinged and opened, I stopped in my tracks as I noticed two guards standing opposite each other, guarding the floor.A wave of dizziness hit me, and I stumbled backward, sweat dripping down the back of my neck. I noticed the guards approaching me, and I took a step back until my back was pressed against the wall.I brought down my shaky hands so they wouldn’t notice, and I prayed to the moon that they were mated wolves, though all male guards were supposed to take a pill that would suppress all kinds of urges towards unmated females.“What are you doing here? You aren’t allowed on this floor past midnight,” the o
Seth’s POV:I opened my eyes to see Camilla sleeping peacefully. I quickly got off the bed, and I only had one thing in mind: tracking down the guard who was stupid enough not to take a heat blocker while on duty.‘Tell the unmated guard who was on duty on the second floor to wait for me in my office,’ I said through the mindlink to the chief of security.‘I have sent Henry up to your office, sir,’ a response came as I made my way to the door.With one last glance at Camilla, I marched my way there. As I pulled the door open, he immediately shrank back in fear.“Beta, g-good morning,” he stammered, but I wasn’t about to entertain him—I was here to deliver his punishment.“Why did you not take a heat blocker while you were on duty?” I asked. He chuckled nervously and stepped forward.“Well, it’s kind of a funny sto—”“Funny?” I cut him off and took a step toward him. “Did you think it would be funny if you raped an unwilling female in heat? You find it funny, don’t you?” I sneered at h
Camilla’s POVI made it my mission to avoid Seth every chance I got. I couldn’t deal with him now, not after what happened nine days ago, even though my heart ached for him.But today, there was no way I could avoid him. There was a party being held in the pack house. Luna Ava had finally birthed a baby girl, and the naming ceremony was taking place in the pack tonight—which was happening now.From a distance, I watched Alpha Zane, who was holding his baby, Luna Ava, Seth, Tracey, and Jorge gathered around in a circle, talking and laughing. I was trying to make an escape behind them when my name was called.“Camilla.”Shit, I cursed inwardly. Luna was waving at me to come to her, and I had to hold back a sigh when they all stopped talking to look at me.“Hi,” I said when I finally reached them. Luna pulled me into a hug and whispered, “It’s been such a long time since I saw you, Camilla. I missed you.” A genuine smile spread on my face at her words.After the attack I had at the Alpha
Camilla’s POVI wasn’t feeling well. For the past three days, I’d been throwing up everything I ate. I couldn’t take it anymore and had to figure out what was wrong with me, so here I was, at around seven p.m., sitting on the bed in the Pack doctor’s office.I puffed out a breath and wiped the sweat from my forehead. The door opened, and Doctor Evelyn Stone walked in, holding the test results.Doctor Evelyn Stone sighed, her eyes meeting mine with a mix of concern and something softer—almost like sympathy."Camilla," she began, her voice gentle but firm, "I know you’ve been feeling unwell, and I have the results here. The reason you’ve been experiencing those symptoms… it’s because you’re pregnant."The words hung in the air, and for a moment, everything else faded into the background. My heart skipped a beat as the reality of her words started to sink in.“W-what?” It forced out, talking the papers from her. No, this can’t be happening, not now, not when everything was a mess.The ro
Seth’s POVI knew Camilla was avoiding me, probably because Luna had caught us in a… compromising position five days ago. But I have had enough. I have given her the space she must have wanted, but every fiber in me aches to see her.So, I was making my way down to Omega Hall B. The door was closed, but as I reached for the handle, it was opened, and Mia stood there with surprise on her face before she schooled it into a smug look.She rested her hips on the side of the door and then raised a brow at me. “Here to see your… Camilla again? You know you should be thanking us for not telling your wife what you have been—” I wasn’t interested in whatever nonsense she was sprouting, so I moved her to the side and walked in. The room was mostly empty, save for two girls who were sleeping on their beds.“Where is she?” I turned to Mia, and she stepped in.“I don’t know,” she said. I sighed and pressed my thumb to my forehead.“I really do not have time for your bullshit, Mia. Where is she?”S
Camilla’s POVI tried to force my eyes open, but it felt like they had been glued shut. I could hear the sound of distant mumbling, and I groaned.When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the pack of yellow chips that I had been eating earlier, scattered on the ground."She's waking," a male voice said, and I tried to remember where I was or whose voice that was. That was when it finally hit me—the voice belonged to Marcus, and…I tried to get up, but it was impossible as my hands and legs were tied by ropes. I looked up, and Nora and Marcus were looming above me. I began to panic, my heart beating a rapid tattoo in my chest."What are you doing? Let me go!" I yelled at them, still struggling to free myself."No can do, love," Nora shrugged and stood to her full height. I looked around in panic."Help, help us!" I stopped shouting and looked at Nora, who had her head tilted up and was shouting for help. She stopped and slapped her hands on her thighs while laughing."What are
Camilla’s POVThe sound of someone screaming jerked me awake. I quickly got to my feet and looked around. Then it hit me—Nora…the kidnapping.It was pitch black, and for a moment, I thought the sack was still on my head. I blinked my eyes slowly, trying to adjust to the darkness.The sound of someone screaming again made me stumble back. It was loud and agonizing, and—and—Tears began to stream down my cheeks. I stretched my hand forward, trying to reach for anything. My hands touched the wall, and I ran them over the sloppy, wet surface. I took a deep sniff, and bile rose to the tip of my tongue.“Where am I?” I said into the darkness, shaking. I didn’t know whether to scream for help or remain silent.The sound came again, and I could hear whimpers mixed with mine. “Is someone there?” I asked in a whisper, suddenly hit with déjà vu from my last kidnapping.I got no reply and thought to take a sniff, but the smell of rotten flesh and blood made me think twice about it.With my hands,
Camilla’s POVFor the next... Goddess knows how long, I continued to take care of the girl. She was delirious, sometimes looking up and screaming for help before slipping back into an unconscious state. The cuts on her arms weren't healing, and her blood continued to ooze out every second. I feared she wouldn't make it.I heard the sound of the large metal door opening, and I cradled the girl's head closer to me. Jude stood in front of my cell and began to open it."You can't take her again, she'll die," I said, wrapping my hand around her cold body."I'm not here for her. You will be going with me."My heart slammed hard against my chest at his words. "No," I begged, pressing my back against the wall."NO!" I yelled when he yanked me by my hand, and the girl's head hit the rough floor with an audible thud.My heart beat loudly in my chest as he led me out of my cell and to the door. There was a long corridor and two others guarding the metal gates from the other side."Lock the cell
