CAMILLA'S POV.“What was that about?” Halfdan demanded, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief as he glared at me. The intensity of his gaze made it clear that he was struggling to understand what had just transpired. I swallowed hard, feeling the heat of both fury and humiliation rising within me. My mind was filled with raw emotions; rage, jealousy, and pain all colliding in a storm of confusion. I forced myself to maintain a frown, struggling to keep my composure amidst the anger I felt.As the emotions boiled over, my face flushed a deep red. I could barely think straight; the haze of anger clouded my judgement. I was consumed by a fierce need to exact revenge for the humiliation I felt, my thoughts fixated on retaliating against Astrid.“Tell me, what exactly are you up to?” Halfdan pressed again, his grin now tainted with a mix of derision and curiosity. His relentless questioning only served to aggravate me further, making me feel like he was deliberately antagonising me.
CAMILLIA'S POVMy eyes were fixed on the grave in front of me. I felt a deep sense of suffocation and frustration that I had never experienced before; even in death, he continued to infuriate me.In a burst of anger, I shouted loudly, "Damn it!" and kicked the edge of the gravestone with all my might. I grabbed the bouquet of flowers that had been left there and threw them harshly onto the ground, crushing them beneath my feet as I stomped on them.I felt a profound sense of betrayal. Everyone had mocked me, and they had all watched as she made a fool of me, but not one person had bothered to come over and hear my side of the story or offer any comfort. Instead, they all seemed to have ample time to visit this grave and lay flowers as if nothing had happened."You couldn't keep your nose out of things, could you?" I shouted into the empty space, hoping that his ghost was nearby and could hear the depth of my anger and frustration.“You had to give the pack to her, didn't you?” I roare
CAMILIA'S POV.Throughout the entire night, Halfdan remained completely silent, and didn't utter a single word to me at least. His silence troubled me deeply; I couldn't shake the fear that he might have followed me and witnessed the encounter I had with the man earlier. As the hours dragged on, I began to understand that his cold demeanour was driven by his feelings for Astrid. Just thinking about it filled me with intense frustration and anger. When morning arrived, I had hoped that Halfdan would break his silence and engage in conversation with me, but every attempt to communicate with him failed. It became clear that no matter what I did, he remained steadfast in his refusal to speak. I realised that it wasn’t worth my effort to keep trying; I would have to wait and see how long he could maintain this stubborn silence.I sighed with exasperation as I watched Halfdan slowly approach the car and carefully sit down in the seat. When he finally looked up to meet my gaze, I felt
ASTRID'S POV“Where am I?” I asked, my voice coming out in a strained whisper as I slowly parted my lips. Camilla was by my side, supporting me. I kept drawing in deep breaths, too afraid to open my eyes for fear that the pain might intensify. I wanted to flinch but fought to remain still.“Where am I? Where did you bring me?” I repeated, my voice tinged with panic as I felt her move closer.“I’ll get Dane for you,” she said, her voice soft but firm before she stood up and moved away. I reached out towards her, but my limbs felt heavy and unresponsive.Every muscle in my body seemed to be paralyzed, a numbness spreading through me. I felt a growing sense of being dragged into darkness. I squeezed my eyes shut, desperately trying to block out the overwhelming sensations as I drifted into unconsciousness.I was jolted awake by a nauseating churn in my stomach, my eyes snapping open. The immediate need to vomit hit me like a wave, and I groaned in pain and frustration. I attempted t
ASTRID'S POV.“I can't hold it in any longer, Alpha… Have me,” I whispered, adjusting the sleeves of my dress to draw him in. Alpha Dane hesitated for a moment, but then when Beta Ivar moved closer Alpha Dane immediately gestured for him to leave the room. With a nod, Dane returned my kiss the second he did.“Don’t go easy; I want you badly,” I murmured as he hovered over me. A grin spread across his face as he parted my legs and rubbed my clit, causing my legs to shudder in response to his touch.“You’re so wet,” he said, slurring his words. He dropped to his knees and buried himself between my legs. I felt the wetness of his tongue against the wetness of my skin as he teased it slowly.His tongue ran along my clit as he sucked on it. With his arms, he held my legs wide apart while I massaged my nipples, my moans filling the room. He pulled away from my clit and swallowed hard as he rubbed his other finger against it slowly. At first, he was gentle, but he picked up the pace, sl
DANE'S POV.Seeing her fast asleep made me feel like the happiest man in the world. My heart was overflowing with joy. It was almost too good to be true that I had someone like Astrid right by my side all along, and I nearly lost her because of my own anger and jealousy.We've been making good progress recently, working hard together to improve our relationship. However, poor Astrid seems to face one problem after another, never getting a moment's peace.As she slept peacefully, I gently tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear. My eyes rested on her lips for a brief moment, and I lightly traced the outline of her nose with my fingers, savouring the quietness of the moment.She mumbled softly in her sleep, scrunching up her nose in a way that made her look incredibly cute and endearing. As she shifted and turned her back to me, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration for her beauty. The sight of her peaceful, sleeping form stirred a possessive obsession within
HALFDAN'S POVThe heavy wooden door to the council hall swung open abruptly, creaking on its hinges as my Beta, Drake, burst into the room with an intense expression.“How dare you enter without notifying us first?” Elder James scolded, his voice filled with anger. I sighed inwardly, knowing that the elders were very strict about maintaining respect and protocol. I could already tell they were going to make a big deal out of this, dragging the issue out and making it more complicated than it needed to be.“This council hall is one of the most revered and sacred places in the pack,” Elder Thomas chimed in, his tone equally stern. “You have no right to barge in without giving us a proper announcement.” I rolled my eyes once more, feeling a mix of irritation and resignation. Clearing my throat, I prepared to address the situation.I knew I needed to say something, or they would all take turns hurling insults at him.“He is my Beta, after all,” I said, trying to sound authoritative. “I
HALFDAN'S POV.Fueled by a seething anger that felt like fire running through my veins, I stormed out of the room. My frustration reached its peak as I slammed the door behind me, the crash echoing like thunder in the silence of the mansion.“Alpha Halfdan, are you…” Beta Drake began to call out, his voice trailing off as he caught sight of me. I didn’t glance back, didn’t flinch at the interruption, and didn’t care about his concern. Every step I took was driven by a fierce determination to avoid any further confrontation. I marched out of the grand mansion, my rage propelling me forward. Once outside, I threw myself into the waiting taxi with a sense of urgency and purpose, eager to escape the suffocating presence of Camilla.“Where to, Alpha?” The driver’s voice held a note of recognition as he glanced at me in the rearview mirror.“Any closest bar!” I barked out, my voice sharp with irritation. Without a moment’s delay, he roared the engine to life, and the taxi lurched forwar
