Chapter 4

Henry Dominic walked out of the mansion and made his way to the backyard. Though he had sent the two maids to bathe Camila outside, he was fully aware of what he had instructed them to do, and he wanted to see her.

Camila had finished bathing and had dropped her clothes on the floor, but she was shivering from the cold. She looked at the two young ladies her size while one of them handed her a white towel to wrap around her body.

Camila took the white towel, fumbling to find the edge and wrap it around herself just as she heard multiple footsteps behind her. She swiftly turned and saw the man who had brought her here, his eyes glowing yellow.

Camila immediately wrapped the towel around her chest, but the man didn’t avert his gaze from her body as he continued to stare at her, and she was shivering even more.

"Henry, is she the new foreigner?" Camila heard a woman walking up to meet her ask.

Henry heard his mother’s question and hadn’t expected her to follow him outside. Camila had a nice shape, and he liked her, struggling to reply, "Yes, Mother..."

"Guards!" Luna Ruth immediately called out, unable to believe her eyes. The beautiful young lady before her, who looked like an angel, was the girl her son had brought home.

Luna Ruth observed Camila's golden skin and realized that this young lady could cause problems in their pack, especially regarding her son's leadership of the Western Wood Pack. If the chiefs of the Western Wood Packs found out that Henry had fallen in love with a stranger from the Eastern Wood Packs, it would create significant issues.

"Luna Ruth, you sent for us?" two guards appeared from behind, snapping Luna Ruth out of her trance. She didn’t care that Camila was only wearing a white towel.

Luna Ruth immediately ordered, "Take this lady out of here and ensure that she doesn’t leave the refugee house. I will see her personally later. No one is to be granted access to her until I or the Alpha decides otherwise tomorrow."

"Okay, Luna," the two guards replied, walking up to Camila. They grabbed her by the arms and began to take her away.

Henry tried to protest, "Mother, let me take her to the refugee house myself. I don’t trust those guards with her."

Henry wanted to walk away and call the two guards back, but his mother immediately replied, "No, son. She’s a foreigner and shouldn’t be seen with you, nor should you care about what happens to her. She cannot be trusted; she could be a spy or an enemy. Come, let us go inside and have dinner. It’s already late, and Juliet insisted that we wait for your return."

"Hmm," Henry sighed, continuing to watch the guards drag Camila away.

Henry didn’t know her name yet, but he couldn’t stop admiring her and her body.

Camila was taken outside from the Alpha's executive mansion and brought to a large open house without any clothes.

She was only wearing a white towel around her chest and felt scared as the two men dragged her into the big house.

She could see other people in the large hall, and they looked at her in surprise as the guards brought her inside.

It was very late, but the big house had lights and power.

Camila noticed that the people standing in the hall looked poor and malnourished in their slave clothes. She feared what would happen to her, being the daughter of the Eastern Wood Pack Alpha.

The entire pack didn’t resemble what Camila had been told about them. The two guards in army clothes walked out to meet them, while the guards from the Alpha's mansion who had previously dragged Camila into the refugee house stopped.

They let go of Camila and handed her over to the two new guards who were monitoring all the foreigners in the house.

One of the guards from the Alpha's mansion spoke, "Luna Ruth stated that this lady shouldn’t be touched or granted access by anyone until she sees her tomorrow."

"Okay. Come with us," one of the new guards replied, his yellow eyes glowing at Camila. He knew better than to disobey their Luna's orders, as the young lady he was seeing was indeed a temptress.

The new guard repeated to Camila, "Follow me, woman."

Camila stood up from the ground, clutching the towel tightly around her chest as she shivered.

Having been drenched from the rain and following the guards, he took Camila to another section of the large house, which housed more than 300 foreigners.

The foreigners were used to clean the pack house, tidy the environment, and only those who passed the Alpha's test were allowed to move freely among their people.

The defaulters—those accused of dangerous acts who had fled their old packs due to theft and other crimes—were kept under close monitoring.

The guard took Camila to a room that mostly contained women. He unlocked the door and ordered, "Go inside."

Camila didn’t protest and walked into the room. She was relieved that the Luna had warned the guards not to touch her, and she meant no harm.

As Camila entered the room, she saw two ladies dressed in blue slave gowns. They stared at her, clearly older than she was.

Their eyes widened in shock as they noticed the Eastern Wood Pack symbol on Camila's forehead, realizing she was a defaulter. The room's light bulb illuminated her face.

Camila felt the intense gaze of the two women on her as they stood beside the bed. She greeted them, "Good evening..."

"Hmm..." one of the young women growled, while the second remained quiet.

The guard walked into the room and cautioned the two ladies, "You shouldn’t dare to touch her or do anything silly with her, as she will be staying here with you both."

Camila looked around the dimly lit room and saw only two bunk beds. The two ladies seemed unfriendly toward her.

"What are you staring at? You can’t use the bed, so stay away from it!" one of the ladies warned Camila. They were around her age and didn’t like the fact that Camila came from the Eastern Wood Pack, reminding them of their own sins. They also had the Eastern Wood Pack sun symbol tattooed on their foreheads.

Still wrapped in the towel she had received from one of the maids in the Alpha's mansion, Camila quietly walked to a corner of the room to stand.

Soon, one of the guards returned and threw a blue gown at Camila.

"Wear this!" the guard spat, his yellow eyes burning into Camila, before he left.

Camila was afraid of what her fate would be the following day. She hadn’t anticipated that the situation in the Western Wood Pack would be so different from what she had expected.

She hoped the Alpha and his family would allow her to stay, as she wasn’t ready to wander to another pack. It was not safe out there, and she really missed her mother.

Camila took off the white towel and put on the blue gown that had been given to her. The gown was a bit oversized, but she managed it.

She was tired, hungry, and had no one to talk to.

Camila saw the two ladies finally lie down on the bed to sleep. She spread the white towel on the floor in the small room and lay down on it, shivering from the cold weather. Soon, she fell asleep.
