Camilla’s POV: I couldn’t tell how long it had been since I got kidnapped. Every day just seemed to blend together, and there wasn’t a single window to show us what time of day it was. Every sound made my heart skip as I feared they would come back for me. I wasn't happy being locked up in a cell by a pack I didn’t know, but the thought of being sold like a livestock terrified me even more. The thought of that sent shivers down my spine, even though it was eerily cold here. I rested my head on the brick wall and wrapped my hands around my legs. I was beginning to drift off to sleep when I heard the sound of the metal door being opened. I pressed my claws into my knees and held my breath. I wasn’t too hopeful that I would be released, especially not after the stunt I pulled when I met Alpha Leo. The yellow light that dangled in the middle of the corridor between cells was suddenly flickered on, and even though the light wasn’t exactly bright, it still made my eyes sting. My
Camilla’s POV:I turned to look at the girl who had just warned me a while ago. Her face was pale, and her eyes were wide open with tears streaming down her cheeks. She was in shock, just like most of us here.“Did you not hear me, girl? I said get into the changing room,” Madam Katherine commanded, slowly approaching her.I nudged her on her arm, and she seemed to finally snap out of the trance she was in. She started taking slow steps forward, and Madam Katherine nodded. “Good. Now, you all should follow behind her in a straight line and come back in the same arrangement.”I followed silently behind the girl, and one of the guards who was with Madam Katherine pushed the door open. There were various types of underwear hanging in the room, but they were all the same color.I quickly approached the girl and grabbed her arm. “Do you know what pack we are in?” I asked her. She seemed lost for a second before blinking and looking around, as if trying to gather her thoughts.“I… I don’t k
Seth’s POV:“I can’t let you do that.”A hand landed on my shoulder, halting my steps. I looked up to the dark sky and released a deep sigh. “Then you leave me no choice.”I swiftly turned around, shrugging off the Beta's grip and throwing a punch that connected with his jaw. Chaos erupted. My men surged forward, clashing with the opposing pack. Growls filled the air, fists flew, and bodies collided. I dodged a swing and landed a kick, sending an attacker sprawling. A fist landed on my gut, and I doubled over in pain but quickly recovered before Beta Ryle’s foot could connect with my jaw.“You will fucking pay for that,” Ryle snarled, his lips curling into a sneer. I grabbed him by the shoulders and landed a kick in his gut. He stumbled and fell to the ground, and before he had time to recover, I slammed my fist into the side of his head, knocking him out cold.I got up and looked around to see that my men had finished handling the rest of the guards.“Let’s go,” I ordered, and we got
Camilla’s POV:I stood in line, my heart pounding in my chest. My hands trembled as the last few people ahead of me disappeared through the door. Fear tightened around my throat. I didn't want this; I didn't want to be sold like an object. The thought alone made me sick, but here I was, and there was nothing I could do… unless I wanted to end up dead like the girl whose body had finally been taken out.Madam Katherine’s fingers gripped my arm, and she tugged me forward. “He’s going to be so happy when he sees you. You, my dear, are our most valuable for this season.”Bile rose in my throat at her words. I was now standing in front of the door with nothing more than underwear.“Now, when you go out, I want you to smile. I’m sure you can do that. You’ll look more like her when you do.” Like who? I knew I couldn’t ask any questions, but I was so confused.“Okay, your turn now.”At those words, she pushed the door open, and I was instantly blinded by the light that shone on my face. My le
Camilla's POV:It has been five days since my rescue. I was back in the Omegas' room, and apparently, Mia and the others had been punished for abusing me. But even though they didn't physically abuse me anymore, they made sure to make nasty remarks at me every chance they got."Hey, slut. How did you get the Beta under your thumb? Did you suck his cock to get him to do your bidding?" I sighed, ignoring both Jane and Laura's taunts for the fourth time this afternoon. We were assigned to clean the Ranking quarters today and right now, we were in Seth’s private room.“I wonder if the Beta’s wife knows,” Laura said and then gasped. “What if we told her? You can only imagine what would happen to you when the pack finds out what a homewrecker you are.”I set my lips into a thin line, cleaning the wooden furniture as I continued to ignore them. “I heard you almost got sold off. I mean, who in their right mind would want to buy a cheap slut like you?”I slapped the rag to the ground and turne
Seth’s POV:The front door creaked open as I stepped into the dimly lit hallway of my home, the familiar scent of pine and worn leather filling my senses. My muscles ached from the day's training with the new pack scouts.I dropped my bag by the door, running a hand through my damp hair. The house was quiet, too quiet. I headed towards the kitchen, hoping to find Tracey and Jorge, but they were nowhere to be found. I frowned as I left the kitchen but stayed on high alert.“Tracey?” I called out, but I got no response. I climbed up the stairs and took a deep sniff, but nothing seemed out of place.I pushed the door to our room, but it was empty, so I made my way to Jorge’s room. As soon as my hands were reaching for the door, it was pulled open, and I balled my hands into fists, ready to punch whoever the intruder was but stopped midway.“Seth, what are you doing?”I released the breath I was holding and allowed my shoulders to relax. Tracey closed the door behind us and stood in front
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
