The Lycan King's Affection FORTY EIGHT
CAMILLE'S POVWhy did I say it? Was it the flash of memories that assaulted me when Eva's maid knelt in front of me to beg for forgiveness?I knew her. It might have just been one encounter, but it didn't take long to realize how the rumors had spread about my pregnancy. Amity had been the one to tend to me the night that Alpha Lucian had locked me up, thinking I poisoned the pheasants. She was the one who put the idea of a pregnancy in my head when I didn't realize it, and she had been there when I had tested myself with the kit. I didn't need a seer to realize the foul play. So why couldn't the same thing be happening now?Amity was Eva's lapdog. She was just playing the role that was demanded of her. I realized it when Amity brought up the kiss to spark tension between Milana, Dimitri, and me. She had tried to hide the excitement that flushed through her face. But I had heard her heart quickened. I had seen her lips twist into a sardonic smile. She orchestrated this. Of course,

CAMILLE'S POVWhen I approached Neal, I could see the anger in my children's eyes. It was like they already knew something. My steps slowed when I reached the bench.Neal looked up to see me, his eyes squinting to block out the sun burning behind me."Hey," he greeted.I offered him a warm smile. Perhaps for a goodbye that didn't last a day. "Hey.""I'm sorry," he continued. "You're not at fault here," I assured him. It was the truth. My anger could not tip over to him. He was the one who exposed it all. What had happened was meant to be. Secrets were hard to keep. I turned to Sophia, who stared at me with a plain face. But her eyes seemed like they were tilted upside down. She was angry. Collins carried the same energy."Soph?" I managed to croak, reaching for her hand, only for her to shrug me off."Go away. I don't want to talk to you." She sulked. "Why?" A sob caused the word to glide out of my tongue wrong and scrambled. "Because you are a liar." Collins retorted, crossing h

DIMITRI'S POVIt was only right that I found Milana to explain things to her. She was soft-hearted, and it hurt me to put her in such a situation.I found her in her room, staring at a mirror as she wiped off makeup from her face."Hey," I knocked before entering.She looked at me through the mirror and frowned. "I don't want to see you right now.""Milana, allow me to explain."She turned back to face me. Her eyes were stained dark from mascara, and her signature glossy lips were smeared all over. "Explain what? That you cheated? How can you even defend that?""You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt you," I told her, attempting to close the space between us. But the shift in her demeanor when I took a step forward told me that it was smarter if I stayed in my lane. "It was a mistake. A mistake..." I paused because it would be a lie. The beast would still desire her. I would still desire her. But I had to grow beyond that. Beyond a madman's desire. It was simply hunger. And any kind

CAMILLE'S POVAround six in the evening, I received a call from Ophelia."Where are you, Camille?" She asked as soon as I picked up the phone. "I've got the tickets.""Ophelia, I... don't think I can come back right now. I'm not sure I'm even allowed to run away from my mess at the moment.""Why? What happened?" Her curiosity was evident."Dimitri isn't the only one who found out my secret. Remember that vile sister I mentioned, the one I got as a bonus when my biological father discovered me?""Yes? Eva? Is that her name?""Yes, Eva," I confirmed. "She conducted a DNA test on my kids. If she had known, I doubt she would have let it come out. But it's out now. Dimitri knows the kids are his, and I'm sure word is spreading as I speak that the daughter of Alpha Lucian is alive and well."I glanced back at my children, fast asleep on the bed. I was still torn on the next step to take.One reason I stayed back was the protection the Lycan kingdom offered, protection my home would never ha

EVA'S POVShe had played me like a fiddle. Nothing was fine anymore. The calculated plan I had erected collapsed under her pretty foot.I was furious, more at myself than even her, because this had been my fault. I stomped back to my room, blaming myself for this fresh hell.If I hadn't taken that useless Amity's stupid advice, then I wouldn't be here. This was all on me, so it was left for me to set it right.When I reached the front door of my room, an idea burned bright in my mind. I wondered if it was going to work, though. Hector didn't trust me. But did it matter?My thoughts lingered on how that would ever benefit me. My mind was bereft of fresh ideas.Only someone came to my mind in times like this.I stepped away from the door and headed to the crypt. Like before, the guards were hesitant to let me in."King Dimitri does not think anybody should visit Hector Menard anymore," the sentinels at the gate regurgitated to me."That is fine," I told them. "I have made my peace regar

CAMILLE'S POVWhen eight struck, there was a knock on my door."Who is it?" I asked, staring at the door as the knob twisted open. The apparel told me the nice-looking woman was a servant. "Luna Camille, dinner is ready. Would you be coming downstairs to eat, or should I bring the food to you?"I shut the records of Victor Blossom. It wasn't going to give me any results since the pages had been ripped out of it. I considered my options. Avoidance. It was the easier option. But for a reason, I didn't want it easy. The cat was out of the bag now, and I wouldn't miss any opportunity I had to spite Eva. She needed to be reminded of the threat I posed now that I existed again. "I'll join them at the table," I told the servant.She bowed solemnly before leaving, shutting the door back in place. I looked at my children, who were still fast asleep. They would never forgive me if I went to eat alone. So I gently roused Sophia and Collins from their slumber, murmuring soft words to wake t

CAMILLE'S POVI turned to Dimitri. Had he deceived me? Sure, the revelation would not have changed a lot of things, but he had led me on. Why didn't he mention it, I wondered."Well?" Milana jerked me out of my thoughts.I looked at her. She was on edge. Her eyes were red and bulging from their socket. She looked different from the woman I saw when I walked into the lounge of the castle the very first time.Then I turned back to Dimitri, who looked like the light had been drained from his soul. The jarring sight of sunken eyes and the frustration peeking behind his perfect mask of indifference caused a memory to burn into my mind.I remembered what it was like in the council room while I was being hounded by my fellow werewolves for a crime that I did not commit. The last straw had been Hector coming down to face me. A mate was the goddess-given gift. So, despite his flaws and his cheating ways, I had somehow still expected some support from him. I had ignored the scorn he plastered o

EVA'S POVIt was jarring sitting there and learning that Dimitri was somehow mates with Camille. The night couldn't get any worse. It was cruel, really. I thought about it. If she followed through, she would be Luna of the Lily of the Valley, Queen of the Lycans, the granddaughter of Abigail De'Crescent, and a healer. How could that be fair? But there was a silver lining. Watching Milana go batshit crazy. Initially, I had been wary about converting Milana to my side. The woman was weird. But the rollercoaster of revelation must have gotten to her.Seeing her stand her ground against Camille solidified it all. I sat there, watching it all. A woman falling into ruin for love. Was this how Adele had destroyed herself? For fickle emotions? When Milana excused herself, I took one of the unopened bottles of wine and followed her.The visit to Adele's cage hasn't been a waste after all. I was bursting with inspiration again.When I found Milana, she was on the balcony of her room."Hey,

The Lycan King's Affection FINALE
CAMILLE'S POV I took a deep breath as the massive ornate doors of the Lycaon Church slowly creaked open. My heart was pounding like crazy - this was such a huge moment. As the doors parted, a sliver of light spilled in, and I stepped forward, the delicate lace veil over my head obscuring my vision and hiding the intense emotions I felt from the hundreds of eyes watching me enter. The air inside was cool and thick with the sweet smell of incense. I could hear the rustle of fancy silk dresses and reverent whispers as everyone turned to watch me walk down the aisle. Soft, beautiful piano music began playing, a serene piece I had chosen myself to start off this grand ceremony. As I made my way up the gold carpet that seemed to glow like a path of light before me, the veil cast everything in a sort of ethereal, dreamy haze. I could feel the intricate embroidery on my exquisite gown as my fingers brushed against the fabric - it was an actual work of art, adorned with symbols of our histo
The Lycan King's Affection HUNDRED TWENTY SIX
CAMILLE'S POV"No..." Eva shuddered when the weight of her sentence finally settled in. "No..."She ran towards my feet and knelt, her eyes wide with desperation. "I know what you want, Camille," she pleaded, her voice cracking. "You want me to beg for all the horrible things I've done. And I understand now, I do. I'm sorry for being so cruel. But two wrongs don't make it right. This is inhumane! A collar is a for a dog.""A troubled dog." I corrected as I knelt down to meet her gaze."I'm only being a good sister, Eva," I said softly. "You were raised wrong by your mother, Adele. Despite everything, I didn't think you deserved to suffer for something your mother and my grandmother had a hand in creating. So this is your chance at a new beginning, Eva. Be good."Eva's face twisted in disgust. I watched her muster the courage to do it. At first, fearing that the collar would catch on to her nefarious intentions if she tried to spit on my face. The second the collar caught a whiff of he

EVA'S POV (THREE DAYS AFTER THE EVENTS OF RAVENFORD)Three days of pure torture had passed. There was no clean drinking water, bath, or even a basin to wash my face or hair. The guards were rough whenever they could be, and I had only been given a decent meal once. So, panic seized me when I heard keys rattling in the lock of my cell, and the door creaked open.I looked up and saw three guards approaching. With each step they took, I shrunk back further."You can't kill me. I haven't been tried yet. I'm innocent."One of the guards stepped forward and slapped me hard across the face. I dropped to the floor, shuddering from the impact."You whiny bitch! You kill one of our own and try to harm our prince, and you have the audacity to call yourself innocent. You have no idea how much every one of us is fighting not to take your life and be done with it." Through gritted teeth, I managed to speak, "I am Eva Dumont, future Luna of the Lily of the Valley pack, and a cursed beast like you
The Lycan King's Affection HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR
DIMITRI'S POVI turned away from the Deltas, my mind already buzzing with plans. Their eyes followed me, filled with a mix of worry and resolve. They knew what we were up against and grasped the dangers. This was no time to hesitate."Follow me," I commanded, heading toward my chambers. The guards moved with me, their steps precise and silent, a result of years of training. The atmosphere was thick with the seriousness of our mission.Once inside my bedroom, I went straight to the dressing table and grabbed my phone. I dialed quickly, the familiar number bringing a brief sense of comfort in the chaos. Ginger answered almost at once."Ginger, it's me again. Back to business. I have three men with me, so the spell needs to be done twice."There was a short pause before Ginger's calm, reassuring voice came through. "No problem, Dimitri. I can manage that."I set the phone down on a dresser and turned to the first sentinel guard. "Step into the rune. Ginger, start the spell."The guard an

CAMILLE'S POV The necrotic green glow exploded out of me, shattering the windows and shaking the very core of the building. The door I had transmuted into a wall disintegrated completely. The light consumed everything, and when it finally died, my eyes struggled to adjust to the debris and the afterimage of that sickly glow. My breath came in short gasps, and I blinked rapidly, trying to make sense of the scene before me. Amid the wreckage, I saw Abigail not far from where I stood. She lay on the floor, her eyes wide and filled with shock. A tremor ran through me as I wondered if the spell had worked. Had I failed? Abigail’s movements drew my attention. She stared at her hands, her expression one of bewilderment. Then, her gaze shifted to the ceiling. The rune I had drawn to seal her magic was now fractured, broken by the cracks that laced the ceiling. Fucking hell! She rose to her feet, power radiating from her as she turned to face me. “I gave you the opportunity to touch a r
The Lycan King's Affection HUNDRED TWENTY TWO
CAMILLE'S POV The space around me seemed to thrum with the weight of Asmodeus's words. "The rune is known as the Sigil of Perdition," he said, his voice low and measured. "It is an ancient power, capable of manipulating the fabric of reality in ways that no ordinary spell can." I felt a shiver run down my spine as I emboldened myself to ask the question that mattered the most. "But, will it work?" Asmodeus's gaze met mine. It looked like he was almost disappointed that I would ask. "Well, I hope so," he replied. "What I am gambling on is your raw strength, Camille. You are much stronger than Abigail. I felt it when you awakened. The demon blood that runs through your veins is not recessive like it was with Bo." I frowned, not fully understanding. "What do you mean by that?" Before he could answer, a bright light assaulted my eyes, turning my vision completely white. Panic tugged through me as I tried to blink away the blinding light. My senses felt dulled, as if I were suspen
The Lycan King's Affection HUNDRED TWENTY ONE
DIMITRI'S POVI awoke with a start, finding myself on the cold, hard floor. The chill sent shivers through my body. Blinking rapidly, I struggled to shake off the haze of unconsciousness. As my vision cleared, I noticed intricate rune drawings on the floor beside me, softly glowing in the dim light. My heart sank as I recognized the teleportation sigil. Beside it lay Neal, motionless, his chest rising and falling in shallow breaths.That could only mean one thing. Camille had knocked him out cold, too, and gone to Abigail alone.An admission that heavy made my skin crawl.“No, no, no,” I muttered, my body starting to tremble. “Camille, what have you done?” I approached the rune, my steps heavy and reluctant, each one echoing my growing dread.Without wasting time, I turned and opened the door, my mind racing. I needed help, and I needed it fast. I hurried down the hallway, my thoughts a chaotic swirl of worry and rage. I was angry at Neal, and more importantly, I was angry at myself.
The Lycan King's Affection HUNDRED TWENTY
CAMILLE'S POVI tried to keep my eyes open, but I was unable to, and my whole world turned dark.When I blinked my eyes open, I found myself in a blank white space. I turned around, seeing no exit and no door. I looked down at my body and noticed it phasing in and out, looking whole one second and translucent the other second. I whispered, "Where am I?"A voice whispered from behind me, "You've lasted longer than I expected."I turned to face the voice and saw a handsome, pale-skinned man, shirtless, with what looked like liquid darkness covering his body from his hips downward. He had horns that curled back from his forehead.I recognized him from the memory of Abigail. He was the demon Abigail mentioned was her mate. "Asmodeus," I whispered."In the flesh," he retorted.I took a step back, uncomfortable and unsure of what this meant. Was I in hell? What had I done to deserve hell?"Why am I here? Why are you here?"Asmodeus replied, "You are here because you are tethering between l
The Lycan King's Affection HUNDRED NINETEEN
CAMILLE'S POVHearing her sound so callous of people's lives reminded me of someone. It reminded me of Eva. In fact, they were more alike than I would love to admit. Vindictive. Myopic and downright cruel.I forced myself to stand. It was hard, but I could manage. My body had started to heal itself. "The Galdinas suffered for a sin they had no idea of. They had no idea what they did to deserve such a fate, but they still suffered because you were spiteful of your father? Do you know what that did to me and my son?" I demanded, my voice rising with every word. "Do you know what that did to my mate?"It was clear that Abigail didn't give two shits about my pain. As long as the Galdinas were involved, she seemed perfectly capable of blocking out her empathy if any still even remained. But seeing no remorse on Abigail's face set my blood on fire. I charged at her and swung with all my might, knowing damn well this was a fight I couldn't win but not caring regardless. She easily dodged
