AN: Hello, guys. I decided to write Trey's POV because we deserved to hear his side this time. All through the first twenty chapters, we've only been hearing about Camila, so I think it’s time to hear Trey's thoughts and perspectives, too :) Enjoy!
Eating at the canteen after classes, I noticed Camila sitting at a table and eating all alone. I could sense she didn't mind having any companion.She's really different from the rest, isn't she? While other girls can't be comfortable without friends to talk to, on the other hand, Camila doesn't really care…We were having fun, and Jude and Barbara always seemed to light up the mood with their cheerful personalities when all of a sudden, Barbara stood up.I held my cousin's arm before she stepped. I could see she was looking at the newbie's table."Where are you going, Barbara?""Making friends!" She answered with a smile."With whom?"She pointed to Camila, who didn't seem to notice."With her. I think we'll click!" That's it, and she proceeded.I just let her.Barbara did it. She approached Camila, and the latter was surprised by how friendly this particular Gregori could get.I frowned as Jude also stood up, and I thought I knew what would happen next. He would follow Barbara at Ca
Jacque's eyes widened in shock and pain. She tried to remove my hand from choking her but to no avail."T-Trey, w-what are you doing? I c-can't breathe…" She was almost running out of her oxygen."Don't try to flip the story. I saw what happened exactly. It was you who started to mess with her."She could not answer and just cried, begging to be freed.Harshly, I released her free so that she could respond.She coughed many times and held her neck, trying to catch her breath. She was almost pale."Leave her alone, or else I will kill you. Do you understand?"When she looked at me, she was still gasping for air. "Why do you even care about her? She's just a newbie on campus! And why would you hurt a woman as vulnerable as me just to warn not to mess with her again? Have you not seen it? She literally was able to get back at me so what you did now was totally unnecessary!""Don't question me back! Just f*cking answer, b*tch!" My voice thundered.She flinched in fear and nodded involunta
"Wait! Who are you? Don't go…"Once again, I was chasing the same faceless girl who didn't seem to hear me and kept walking away."Please, don't walk away! Who are you?" I repeated.Though my feet felt as heavy as my heart when I was following her, I didn't stop.I would not stop…She finally heard me in the middle of her endless walks and stopped…I stopped walking, too, and waited for what she would do next without blinking and taking my eyes off her.She slowly turned around, and I was so shocked to finally glimpse her face! I couldn't believe it!Is it even real? Is it really Camila Valdemore that I am seeing?!"Camila? It was you?" I asked, still refusing to believe it!It was her all along!Her beautiful face screamed emptiness, and although she was smiling, I knew she was sad. Her loneliness was showing.I could not understand. What was she sad for? And why was it her? Why was it her all this time that I was following, and yet I didn't realize it until she turned around and I f
I met Mrs. Aurora for the first time, and just like her daughter, she mistook me for being Camila's ex-lover—Noah…"Noah! It's you! Where have you been all this time? My daughter has been looking for you for years!”Uh oh, I felt a little awkward, but I had no choice but to endure it."We all thought you were dead already—""Mom, that's enough." Good thing Camila explained to her that I am not him and I'm a different person.Soon, Mrs. Aurora realized her mistake and humbly apologized for it. I did not take it to the bones, though, so I forgave her.Camila introduced us to her mom, and likewise, she introduced her mother to us.Lucky Noah for having met Camila and her mom earlier than I did. D*mn it!Sitting at our table not very far from theirs, Camila and I often caught each other's stares and glances. And I also knew her mother had been observing the two of us as if getting intrigued about what was the real score between her daughter and me…But of course, as usual, Camila would im
"Are you following me?" Camila asked me without adlibs when she noticed I was silently walking behind her in the same direction as hers.Of course, I denied it and walked past her.She continued walking, but she eventually stopped and waited for me so she could accuse me of doing so.Yes, it was no longer a question this time. It was already a sure accusation from her.Again, I had to deny it and make her look like a fool for jumping to a conclusion. I used my condo unit nearby as an excuse to make it look like I wasn't doing what she was saying and instead taking the same direction because I was heading to my unit.She was a bit embarrassed when she realized I was right, so she proceeded.I didn't mind passing by the building. I just took a glance at it but continued following her.The truth was, I really wanted to confront her about Barbara. I wanted to ask her questions about it, but I didn't know where I should start without her getting more suspicious of what the Gregoris were hi
"Here's the copy of your photo, Trey." Luis handed me the printed copy of the photo where Camila and I were on it. This was the time that he asked Camila and me for a shoot because he was randomly taking pictures of the happenings during the Science Fair event for documentation and maybe for the next article he would write. I intended to find him to ask if I could have a copy of the photo taken after I had a casual chitchat with Camila while she was on her post on the activities she was assigned to lead. I accepted it and thanked him, "Thanks, Luis." "No problem, man." He nodded, smiled, and then tapped my shoulder. It wasn't so long before he left, and I was alone, still standing there. I looked at the photo of me with Camila. I found my forefinger gently caressing her smiling face on it. Why do I feel like we really actually look good together in one frame? I suddenly remembered when I talked to her earlier, and I asked how her newly adopted fur is doing now. She told me he
Madness had me clenching my teeth. Noah! Noah! Why it always had to be him?! I couldn't stand her keep chanting the name of the man she knew would never come back to life!"Noah, I will love only you… Please don't ever leave me…"I continued watching Camila in grim.It was clearer to me now. I didn't mean anything to her, not that I made her forget about him even for a second of her life!I also realized that while she was singing on the stage and looking into my eyes, it was Noah that she was seeing because he looked like me. Those lyrics, those deep words, they weren't any for me. She was thinking about Noah and meant only him when she sang, not me…As I was about to turn my back and leave, I stopped when I started hearing her moaning…I looked at her again and she was sweating in her sleep. She seemed to be crying in pleasure and begging for something more.What the actual f*ck?!Was she having wet dreams about him?!It was as if she was running out of breath and kept on inhaling a
Two weeks later, I was in the middle of reading a book in the library on a sunny day when a series of images abruptly appeared in my vision. My sixth sense was telling me something…I could see somebody's in danger. One of my family members. This person needs help!Holding my forehead, and closing my eyes tightly, I focused on detecting the whole scenario in Clairvoyance. I was seeing tall trees everywhere, a grassy forest, and three monster creatures versus one defenseless female werewolf trying to fight them to protect herself.It was hard seeing them clearly and recognizing who it was because the images in my head were blurry. But then I didn't stop and I never minded aching my head just to get a gasp of who was in danger and where they were so I could immediately run there to help.Forcing my brain and vision to see everything clearer, I was finally able to see. Abigail!My eyes widened, shocked and alarmed."Abi's in danger!" I uttered to myself in quick notion.After that, I no
SIX MONTHS LATER... "Long live the newlyweds!" "Best wishes!" Everyone cheered and applauded after Trey and I were declared husband and wife. He lifted my veil to kiss me and I responded eagerly as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Everybody was happy for the both of us and they wished us a healthier and abundant marriage, most especially the Gregoris—Trey's parents, cousins, and even his brother, Noah. "Congratulations, lovebirds! Remember our deal? You're going to spend the rest of your lives making each other happy every single day, okay?" He reminded us. Both Trey and I nodded sincerely. Above everyone in the celebration hall, the two of us were the happiest ones. Genuinely happy that finally we were able to turn our dreams into reality. He tapped Trey's shoulder and they gave each other a warm brotherly hug. "Thank you so much, Noah. Thank you for understanding and thanks for giving way for our true happiness," I said from the bottom of my heart. And for the last time,
Noah brought a chair, placed it beside me, and sat on it. He was also looking after his brother."There wasn't any single time that I could remember I had been a good brother or at least treated him in a kind way…" he spoke, breaking the silence between us.I looked at him, and then he continued, "But you know what's ironic? That was despite me obviously despising my own brother, he has always been there for me. He was saving me, protecting me. Even before, since we were young and I wasn't yet aware of his existence, of my real identity, he was already helping me in silence. He always got my back, and though he wasn't getting anything in return, he was always willing to do something for me because he always wanted to see his brother being so well.”I knew it. I have really fallen crazy in love with an absolutely selfless man!"You know what, since then, he's really been there and always ready to save my life from harm or any danger. He never leaves me... Even if his own life would be
(Camila's POV)Walking back and forth to the wide ground of the residences of the Gregoris, my heart seemed to uncalm from its fast and hard pounding because I'd been waiting for Trey's troops to come back from the battlefield, where they had to fight to get Barbara after she was abducted.I couldn't take it easy. I could not even calm down. I felt bothered and scared that something might happen, especially to Trey and to Noah. Yes, both of them went there. As the ruler, Trey led the troops, while Noah insisted on coming with them because he also felt responsible for saving his family member.Seconds later, a siren on the whole building created a loud noise, indicating that the troops had already returned, and they were successful in getting Barbara back!The main gate opened and the first voice I heard, aside from the noises of the feet of the troop members running and hurrying, was Abigail's screaming and crying, "Trey is badly wounded! Trey is badly wounded, everybody!"My world sa
(Camila's POV)Noah and I went home after that long and draining double engagement night."Good night, Noah," I told him and was about to go to my room when he called me in a low, deep voice."Camila…""Hmmn—" I turned around to look at him, but I was surprised when he pulled my hand and brought me very close to his body.He held my waist tightly, and his eyes screamed desperation, hunger, longing, and sadness…"Noah, what are you doing—" I was cut to my words when he claimed my lips."Noah!" I tried pushing him gently on his chest, but when I felt like it was to no avail because he wouldn't let me go, I stopped, and instead, I just responded to his kisses.It was a responsibility of mine, wasn't it? He's my boyfriend, and he's kissing me, therefore, it's my responsibility to return his kisses. I responded to it as I should, as I obliged.He only freed my lips when he stopped, but his face remained very close to mine. He brought our foreheads touched.His breathing was deep, and the l
(Trey's POV)I could just watch her from afar… She was walking out of the hall and walking away from everybody, from where I stood…"Congratulations on your engagement," one of the seniors in the pack went to the table where my fiancée—Beth—and I were standing.We smiled at him and nodded and thanked him, then we granted his invitation for a toast.He proceeded to talk and have fun with other guests and invitees, and the cycle just went on and on every time anybody would approach to congratulate us and have a toast. We would smile at them, thank them, and toast our drinks."Trey, Beth, you really look great together. We wish nothing but abundance in your upcoming wedding," dad said happily when he went to us.Beside him and clinging to his arm was mom, who was also smiling happily upon nearing to us."Thanks, mom and dad."They both gave me a hug.And that's what Beth did, too. She greeted them, giving respect to elders, as well as her being their future daughter-in-law."I'm really g
I saw Trey from the glass door stopping and taking a look at me for the last time. He saw me and Noah hugging. I could see the hurt in his eyes, and yet he chose to shrug it off and totally went away.I knew that starting with this, I had lost him forever. He walked out of my life…After our hug, Noah cupped my face and almost endlessly thanked me for not leaving him, and for choosing him instead of Trey."I'm sorry, my love. I couldn't help it. I'm so happy and delighted that it's really still me that's in your heart even after all these years!"I simply forced a smile though it was hard to do so because my heart just honestly felt so heavy at the moment.To be frank, I chose him for a reason even though I knew within me who really my heart wanted. But I disregarded the thought. I'm happy that Noah is back and he's alive, and now we'll be able to continue what we thought we had lost several years back. I should just focus on that and give Noah my full attention and love because I alr
(Camila's POV)"How have you been, Camila?" Trey asked with a low broken voice when we agreed to meet one day to finally talk about us."I'm doing fine. How have you been, too?" I asked back while not looking at him.It's been a week since the big revelation came, and yet I'm still, even up to this day, affected by what I just have discovered. I guessed everybody still is.He smiled a little and nodded. "I'm alright. I'm glad you asked."I finally looked at him. "What are you going to tell me, Trey? I need all the truth, please."He sighed a bit heavily and nodded his head. "Okay. I'm telling the whole story to you…"He started from the first time he knew he actually had a brother and Noah was sent away from home to grow up and be trained to be independent and strong in all challenges of life, how Trey played being the shadow and guide and protector of the crown son and the supposed Alpha of their clan."During that afternoon when the tragedy happened, I was also there, Camila. I saw
After that reckless move I made, I never dared to do it again anymore or do something like that. I backed myself off, especially from their relationship. I could not possibly do anything to ruin them and mess up the plan.I just continued to watch over my brother as per my seemed-to-be lifelong task and assignment to my family. I didn't dare anymore to get close or approach Camila again just like I did that day. And I learned to move on my own. I should respect their relationship given the fact that Noah is my brother and he is about to become the Alpha and ruler of the pack while Camila is to become his Luna and wife.I tried forgetting my feelings for my brother's girlfriend and though it was hard because my own heart seemed to betray me at all time, I still fought it and instilled in my mind that I should really leave them alone because it's obvious that the two of them are the ones meant for each other. I am just a guardian and witness of their love.I also taught myself that I sh
One time, it was so reckless of me to have found my feet directing to where exactly Camila was sitting.She was at one of the tables inside a restaurant in a mall, and she was waiting for Noah because, basically, they agreed to have a date that day.I also wanted to feel and experience what it would be like if I stood next to her if I ever talked to her, and she would speak to me. I just really wanted to be in my brother's shoes, even for a little while, especially regarding his relationship with his girlfriend.Soon as she saw me at the restaurant door, she called my name… Noah's name, to be exact, because she was waiting for him and she or they—both her and my brother—didn't even know my existence…"Noah!" She waved at me happily and excitedly.My heart jumped. It felt like my world had suddenly stopped, and I could only see the two of us. I wasn't even able to move my feet!She stood up, waved at me, and ran to me. I was taken aback, and my feet turned to jelly as she hugged me.D*
