Camilla's POV

I sat beside April on the couch, our conversation earlier still weighing heavily on my mind. She fidgeted with her hands, avoiding eye contact.

"April, look at me," I said softly.

She lifted her gaze, vulnerability etched on her face.

"I never begged to be a drug addict, Camilla," April began, her voice cracking. "It just... sort of happened."

I nodded, encouraging her to continue.

"I was stressed, overwhelmed. Life felt suffocating. And then... I tried it. Just once, I told myself. But once became twice, and twice became..." April's voice trailed off.

I took her hand, offering a gentle squeeze. "You're not alone, April. We'll get through this together."

April's eyes welled up with tears. "I'm so ashamed, Camilla. I've let everyone down."

"No, April, you haven't," I countered. "We love you, no matter what. And we'll support you through this."

Don't you think it'll break her heart?"I take a deep breath. "April's heart is already broken because of her addiction. This is the only way to heal it."Rosaline's eyes fill with empathy. "I understand your intentions, but are you sure this is the right approach?""I've thought it through," I assure her. "We can't keep enabling her secrecy."Rosaline nods slowly. "If you truly feel what you're about to do is right, then who am I to stop you?"She pauses, collecting her thoughts."But promise me one thing: be gentle. April's fragile right now.""I will," I promise. "I just want to help her."Rosaline's voice is soft. "I know, Cam. We all do."Rosaline's expres

The darkness of my room seemed to swallow me whole, matching the emptiness inside.Why did Gabe have to be so cruel? Ban me from seeing Luca? Take away his duties as beta? It wasn't fair. I'm pretty sure if Gabe was in my situation now he'd understand… he'd probably do everything in his might to get what he wants. I thought of Luca's handsome face, his bright smile, and his kind eyes. We'd grown so close, and now Gabe was ripping us apart. Annoying Gabe. My body shook with silent sobs, the pain and frustration overwhelming. I couldn't bear the thought of not seeing Luca tomorrow, or the next day, or who knows when.Gabe's words echoed in my mind: "You're too close to Luca. It's clouding your judgment. It's not healthy for the pack" But what did he know? He didn't understand.I wiped my tears with the heel of my hand, trying to calm down. But the anguish lingered.How could Gabe do this to me? To us

Empty bottles and unwashed cloths scattered the countertops.My heart sank.We sat down on the worn couch, and I took April's frail hands."Camilla told me," I said gently.
