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
It felt as if molten lava had been injected into my veins, searing through my blood like a relentless fire. The burn was unbearable—too much—far too much for me to endure.Every inch of my body screamed for mercy, though I couldn’t tell if the screams were only in my head or if they had escaped my lips as well. My vision blurred as I forced my eyes open, staring up at the ceiling, which seemed to sway and spin above me."Keep going strong, child. Keep your baby alive."I tried to remember whose voice that was… It was Doc, the man responsible for all this pain.Please. I tried to say. Make it stop. I begged silently, my voice too weak to escape my lips.Slowly, after what felt like an eternity, the burning began to subside, leaving me gasping for breath.“Incredible,” the doc said, his face appearing above me, his eyes gleaming with twisted fascination. “Your body accepted the Nocturne within twenty minutes. This is truly incredible!”Twenty minutes? The searing pain in my veins felt l
Seth’s POVAt first, I thought Camilla might have left to join another pack, but I knew it wasn’t that easy—without a proper transfer letter from Alpha Zane, no pack would accept her. They would think she must have committed an offense and was on the run.So, my second guess was that she would try to leave. Leave the borders that separated our part of the world from the humans. After two days of driving, here I was, checking through the list of people who had crossed the border.“Are you sure a female from Green Hill Pack hasn’t left?” I asked the man in charge. “She has straight brown hair up to her shoulders, light brown eyes, and she’s…” Beautiful, I almost said, then cleared my throat.“Positive. We haven’t had a female from Green Hill Pack leave, and it wouldn’t be possible without the proper documentation and permission from said Alpha.”I nodded and sighed deeply. Of course, it wouldn’t be that easy; Camilla didn’t have any of those things—especially as an omega.I thanked the
Seth's POVMy hand wrapped around the woman’s throat beneath me. She sneered and bared her teeth at me. My fingers tightened around her neck, and my patience began to wear thin.“Where the fuck is my mate?” I growled while she scratched at my arm and continued struggling.A muffled sound made me snap my head up, and the female whose hands and feet were still bounded with ropes wiggled her fingers at me, her eyes moving between me and the woman which clearly meant that I should untie her.I held in a sigh as I looked at the rogue and then back at the female whose eyes were pleading. With one last look at the rogue, I balled my left hand into a fist, and her eyes widened as I slammed it into the side of her head, knocking her out cold.I stood to my full height and as I looked down at this unknown female, her blue eyes were wide open as she stared at me with clear anticipation. I looked around and saw a knife laying next to the fire. I picked it up and began to cut the ropes.As soon as
Camilla’s POVI felt hot. Every part of my body was hot, and all I wanted was to rip the skin off my flesh.I groaned, trying to turn away, but I felt a hand on my head, keeping me in place."Shhh, it's okay," the voice said, but it sounded so distant. It felt like I was being pulled into a black hole, and before I knew it, I was standing in the middle of the pack house."I'm back," I said to myself, my voice echoing in the silent room. It felt like I was being turned around or the room spun itself. I couldn't tell, but I was now standing in front of Seth. "Seth, you found me," I rasped out, my lips pulling up into a smile. Seth stared at me blankly, and I cocked my head to the side. "Seth?" I called, taking a step forward, but it felt like each step I took, took me further away from him. A hand wrapped around his waist, and another slid down his chest. Tracey's head crept from his back, and she began to kiss his neck while looking at me. "He’s mine," she yelled and sank her fang
