Henry was angry earlier, having been with his father downstairs in their meeting hall. His father was still gathering and training armies in preparation to launch an attack on the Eastern Wood Packs. Henry was not pleased with this idea and tried to persuade his father against it, but Alpha Collins dismissed him. Angered, Henry went back upstairs to his bedroom, not expecting to find Camila in his bathroom."What are you doing in here? Have you suddenly gone crazy?" Henry asked as he strode up to meet her.Camila was scared, having not expected Henry to return so quickly. "I am sorry, I just—""Shut your mouth, put on your clothes quickly, and get out!" Henry spat, struggling with his own demons. He had seen Camila's naked body before, and seeing her naked again filled his head with wild fantasies. Camila had already lathered herself with soap and pleaded, "Wait, let me rinse off.""Hmm..." Henry growled, his wolf fighting internally to claim and mark Camila. Henry pulled the bat
Victoria sighed and replied, “I hope so.”She was irritated at seeing Camila, as she had heard about her the previous day. Camila’s natural beauty without any makeup made Victoria feel restless, as she believed she was the most beautiful young lady in their pack and fit to be Henry's bride.Juliet said to her best friend, “Don’t let that white bumpkin bother you. I heard from Mom that she’s pregnant, so Henry can’t mate with her if that’s what you’re thinking.”Juliet sat calmly on the couch, while Victoria’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing that Camila was already pregnant, possibly the reason she had been banished from her father’s pack. Victoria had also heard how the Eastern Wood Pack members and their Alpha were brutal with their strict laws that all pack members had to follow.Victoria asked Juliet in surprise, “She’s truly pregnant?!”Juliet calmly nodded and replied, “Yes, Vicky. Now sit.”“That’s why Henry can’t have anything to do with her. Besides, she’s a foreigner. You c
Stepping into the almost quiet room that belonged to him, Henry remembered the moment he shared with Camila in the bathroom. He smiled slightly and walked toward his sitting room balcony to gaze outside at their surroundings and the entrance gate, as their mansion was enormous.As he moved away from the balcony and back into the sitting room, he saw his mother standing there in her long yellow garment, staring at him."Mom..." He gasped.Henry looked surprised to see his mother smiling at him. She walked up to him and asked, "Henry, I heard that you’re back home. I wanted to find out if you have finally spoken to your father about the war he’s planning to launch tomorrow on the Eastern Wood Packs’ territory."Henry sighed and replied, "I have, Mom. But Dad doesn’t want to listen to me. I can only hope the battle goes well and that they return home safely."He knew he hadn’t informed his family about how strong Camila really was, which was why her hands were still chained with cuffs.Hi
Camila watched Henry stride into the bedroom. His face was grim, radiating annoyance. She could feel his anger emanating from him, so she quickly cleaned up his room and hurried out.She wasn't brave enough to confront him or explain why his people wanted to attack hers. All she could do was pray for her parents' safety.As she was leaving the second floor, Victoria Elliott arrived early that morning, eager to offer her support to the Alpha's family.She glared at Camila as she saw her walking towards the stairs and angrily called her back, "Hey! You! Can't you greet me?"Camila was shocked. Her heart skipped a beat, and her head snapped up to look at Victoria, who was wearing a long yellow gown.She quickly greeted her, "Good morning.""Ugh! Must I constantly remind you to greet me? Remember, I will be the next Luna of this pack. Whether you like it or not, you will submit to me and become my slave. Ugly pig."Victoria stormed off toward Juliet's room, and Camila shook her head sadly,
Camila was still in shock after Henry left her room. She stared at the paper containing the roasted pork meats he had given her. She was hungry, and her wolf was weak, so she resumed eating the meat. It tasted delicious.Since her abduction and enslavement in the Alpha's mansion, she hadn't been given anything good to eat, let alone "meat." She had mostly been given bread and water, lacking proper nutrients. She devoured the delicious meat, and once her stomach was full, she went to her private bathroom to wash her hands. After that, she retired to her bed to sleep. +++Henry left Camila's room with a calm heart, though troubled by the lack of news about his father and the war. He had received no feedback. He was worried but had to wait for their informant to return. The results would be available the following day. He would know if his father and the accompanying armies had returned safely, or if they had lost their lives in battle.Henry made his way back into the mansion, not wa
The following day in the Western Wood Packs, Henry held a meeting with all the chiefs.They discussed the burial rites for his late father and the pack's month-long memorial period. All activities, including those leading up to the mating ceremony next week, would be suspended in honor of the fallen Alpha and the armies that had accompanied him to war against the Eastern Wood Packs.Henry stood silently in the hall, refusing to take his father's seat on the throne. He couldn't bring himself to accept it yet, hoping his father and the armies would soon return."Alpha Henry," the oldest elder and chief spoke, "what do you say about the pack observing a month-long memorial in respect to our late king? All activities leading up to the mating ceremony next week will have to stop. Afterward, we can set a date for all unmated males and females over 18 to mark themselves and present themselves before the Moon Goddess.""We cannot shift the Full Wolf Moon Festival," Henry replied. "It occurs on
"What was making you smile like an idiot?" Henry asked Camila as he walked into the private ward that was given to her. Moving away from the entrance door where he stood before and glaring at her. "Nothing... I..." Camila couldn't respond, and she stared downward just as Henry approached her bed. She could sense his anger, but she wondered why his pack had thoughts of claiming her father's pack. Her father wasn't just known to be ruthless; he couldn't be easily defeated either. "Mm... You are aware that the pack's mating ceremony is starting next week. As a slave here, you aren't supposed to be on the bed recuperating but making arrangements for it and tidying up the packs," Henry said, and Camila's head was still bent low. She didn't know if she could speak when Henry was talking to her, as she was a foreigner and also below his level. Henry's red eyes calmed as he knew it wasn't Camila's fault. He heard the sound of the clinic door, which led into Camila's room, pushed open, an
Victoria's frown was the heaviest on her face as she stared angrily at Camila, while Madelyn went back into the sitting room on the second floor, leaving both Victoria and Juliet on the balcony. Victoria had a strong feeling that Alpha Henry was attracted to Camila, but she couldn't do anything to send Camila away. She wasn't the Luna yet, nor Henry's mate to control him on what to do and what not to do. She knew that the fair-complexioned lady she was seeing could be a problem for her, but she believed that now that the former Luna and Ex-Alpha were no longer around, Henry would have no other option but to choose her as his mate. Juliet murmured, "I hate that white wench! Why is brother caring about her more than us? Alpha Henry!" Juliet rushed upstairs to the third floor to see her elder brother, irritated with how Henry was caring for Camila, despite Camila being their enemy's daughter. Juliet stormed into the sitting room and immediately asked her elder brother, "Brother!! How
"What's with the distant look on your face?" Victoria finally asked Juliet as she approached them at the dining table."Nothing. It seems that you have gone to see our brother," Juliet managed to respond as Madeline didn't show any response to Victoria's inquiries."Yes, I went to see Alpha Henry and guess what, he gave me his debit card," Victoria giggled as she showed Henry's card to Juliet and Madeline, who both looked sad."Congratulations to you," Juliet managed to respond, and Madeline didn't say a word as she continued eating.Henry stepped out from the corridor that led to his home office. He saw how happily Victoria was showing off his debit card to his two sisters.With a shake of his head, Henry looked away from them as they heard the sound of his footsteps approaching. He was not interested in joining them for dinner, but he also did not plan to starve himself for the night.He decided to join his two sisters for dinner and took his seat on the second chair across from his
After Camila had finished all of her work and routine in the Alpha's mansion, she was given only a piece of bread to eat. She didn't complain as she sat outside, staring at the clouds. The rain had stopped and the weather was chilly. Her gown was lighter, making her shiver as she stayed outside in the cold. The head maid didn't bother to call Camila into the maid's mansion since the maids were free to roam about at night as long as they had finished their work. They were not imprisoned or under supervision like Camila and the other foreigners. Camila sat alone, feeling her stomach grumbling. She had no friends and thought about the lady she met during her confrontation in the grand hall, Susan Parker. Camila wondered how Susan was faring and decided to sink into her ocean of thoughts. One of the maids, Ella, decided to take a stroll and was surprised to see Camila sitting alone in the cold. Camila hadn't been given a sweater to keep her warm in the cold weather. Ella wondered how
