CAMILLE'S POVHe got up and approached me. I never realized how tall the man was which was valid because I had only laid eyes on the man three times. The first was hazy and he was naked. The second time, I was facing the council for crimes against humanity and the third... I swallowed, remembering the explosion. It was all in the past now"Forgive me, Miss Cameryn," he told me, offering his hand. "But my men had to resort to kidnapping beautiful creatures like Collins and Sofia."I didn't take it. Not because I was wary or mad. I was struggling. His scent was stronger now that he was close. Against better judgment, I looked up to meet his eyes. They were dark. Ink black orbs that glistened like pearls. Now that he was this close for comfort, I realized how tall he was. He was at least 6 feet 5. I swallowed, fighting the urge to wrap my hands around the nape of his neck and bring him closer.It was hard to think or even function so I took a step back from him. "No need for introductio

TWELVE

CAMILLE'S POV"Did you say something?" Dimitri asked as he wore back his shirt.I had not realized how loud my mutter sounded, or perhaps his senses were so sharp that he caught it. "No," I lied, turning back to face Hector.I still held a lot of anger for the man, but seeing him in such a state made me... pity him. No one deserved to be in so much pain. I wasn't the type of person who would sit down and allow someone to suffer because we ended things on bad terms. Hector had crouched away from me the second he heard I was a healer, which told me I was not the first to use him as a guinea pig for the Lycan king. It also told me that he had not reacted well to the healing attempts. I wasn't sure why. But I began to doubt my gifts. I didn't want to add to anybody's pain. I also did not understand why Hector was imprisoned by Dimitri. What sin could he have committed?I turned to Dimitri again and asked, "Why did you imprison a werewolf?"Asking that question was weird in itself. The i

THIRTEEN

CAMILLE'S POVHector was dragged back to the dungeons, and soon after, servants of the Lycan kingdom came to escort me and my belongings to one of the many rooms in the mansion.The ground floor was where Dimitri had accepted me, and my room was somewhere on the second floor. From what I could notice, there seemed to be a third floor, which I believed was relegated to the servants of the house."Can you lead me to the garden?" I asked one of the servants as soon as I stepped inside the room I would be spending the night in."Sure thing," the maid nodded, dropping my belongings at a corner.Surveying the space, I found the room decent. There was a queen-sized bed that I was certain Collins would enjoy turning into his trampoline. A dresser with an inbuilt mirror sat at one corner, and opposite the dresser was a smaller door that led to a bathroom.Sweaty from the heat of my disguise, I yearned to tear away the black fabric from my skin and sink into a bath of cold water. But Collins an

FOURTEEN

CAMILLE'S POVNeal followed me all the way to the second floor. I believe he was that worried about me. He only stopped when I reached the room I would be spending the night in. As soon as I opened the door, my children raced in, marvelling at the spacious surroundings."It's so big," Sophia blurted, her eyes bright with glee as she joined her brother to jump on the surprisingly springy bed. That would be an issue."I should leave you," Neal said.I turned to face him. "Thank you for earlier.""It is no problem. Do try to avoid Eva."It was no issue for me. As long as Eva wasn't actively out to get me, the castle was big enough for both of us until I left."I will."With that, Neal left me and my kids. I stepped inside and shut the door behind me."The bed isn't a trampoline," I warned, rushing at them. I picked Collins first. He was the instigator. Sophia would become bored of it if he wasn't there to rile her up."We are guests," I told my little boy. "it would be rude to leave a

FIFTEEN

CAMILLE'S POVWell, I can't run from him forever, I told myself. Plus, he was right. We needed to get to know each other.Slowly, I sat at the edge of the pool, pulling up my dress so my legs could take a dip in the water."That is disappointing," Dimitri commented, swimming towards me."What is?" I managed to whisper as I did my best to ignore the catch in my throat. He was getting closer now. So was that scent. I think it was worse that he didn't have any clothes on. All I could breathe in was his masculinity."You were going to take a swim," Dimitri replied, stopping where my legs were at. "Do I make you uncomfortable, nurse?""You kidnapped my children to force my hand. So of course, I find you despicable." I retorted in response. "I was a desperate man and maybe that desperation wasn't far-fetched. The prisoner you healed seemed to have made a full recovery. I expected..." He paused. "Perhaps, even hoped it wouldn't work just so the fucker would continue to suffer. But you have

SIXTEEN

EVA'S POVShe brushed past me, nearly pushing me over. She held a grudge. Probably from the way I had treated her earlier before I knew she was the new healer hired to help Dimitri. She looked mighty proud of herself. But I couldn't bring myself to shake the sight I had walked into. They had been close. A little too close for comfort. If I didn't know better, I would believe they were about to kiss.When the healer was out of sight, I spoke to Dimitri."What was that?"He looked at me, confused as he adjusted his robe. "What do you mean?""It looked like you two were about to kiss."Dimitri chuckled. Like always, he was full of charm. "She fell in the water and I handed her a towel."I nodded. She had walked away wrapped in a towel and her hair had looked straight and slick. So it had to be wet. I was overthinking things."Do you think she is capable of healing you?" I asked, strolling over to the pool and slipping my feet inside the water. It was cold and made my skin burst into goo

SEVENTEEN

EVA'S POVI stomped back to my room, furious and with one plan in mind. This healer had to leave the place with her tail behind her legs."Mistress, did something happen?" Amity, my personal servant asked."Something did happen." I retorted, stripping out of my bikini. I then headed to the bathroom, started the valve and watched as water started to fill the tub. "I didn't even get to talk to him today. The bitch totally stole my spotlight.""Bitch? Who?" Amity asked."The healer," I told her. "The new one Neal brought. You should have seen them. Something about the way she looked at him. I can't just wipe it out of my mind.""Oh, I heard about her. She is really good. A natural talent."I raised an eyebrow at Amity. "You seem to be praising her a bit too much. You like her or something?""Of course not, Mistress," Amity replied. The words sounded calculated. "Your enemies are my enemies. I merely stated the rumours that have spread across the palace. The Lycan servants believe she mig

EIGHTEEN

EVA'S POVOnce I had gotten enough of the diseased flesh under my nails, Amity and I made our way to where Hector was locked up. The guards were nowhere close and even if they were right in front of me, it would not matter.We reached the second isolated chamber. Simply put, it was a room inside a room. Amity proceeded to open the lock of the front gate because I couldn't touch anything at the moment. The gate creaked open, revealing another cell in the distance. The glistening metal against the torch at the side was the only reason it was visible in the darkness. There was someone inside. They were walking in circles. My presence interrupted their mantra, however. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I recognized the face.I approached Hector with caution. I needed all kinds of dubious thoughts to cross his mind while I made my way to him."Eva?" he croaked, disbelief evident in his tone."Surprised to see me, old friend?" I smirked."Old friend?" He snickered, stalking towards

NINETEEN

CAMILLE'S POVThere it was again. That Cheshire cat smile. I ran a hand through my hair and fixed my masks.I watched Dimitri's eyes squint with scrutiny. "The mask is a part of you, isn't it?""Yeah," I managed to respond, making my way to where Sophia was sitting. Sophia looked at me puzzled. Collins also did the same and I didn't need to be a telepath to know why.The mask was new for them. I only hid my identity when I was using my gifts and now was one of those times. If the situation were different, I would have considered it. But I sat with three people who knew me from my past.My eyes danced across the table. Eva was present, sipping a glass of orange juice as she dissected her food like it was the worst thing she had laid her eyes on.Neal was at the other end of the table. He was busy with his phone and his food was barely touched.Dimitri on the other hand was playing the role of dutiful father. It made me uncomfortable to see it happen in real time because it made me feel

TWENTY

DIMITRI'S POVDid I count my chicks before they hatched? I wondered as I walked with purpose into the crypt.The cold air wrapped around me with a death-like embrace. The dim light from the torches cast eerie shadows on the stone walls, revealing the morbid nature of the crypt. The scent of dampness and decay hung in the air and I felt my stomach twist and turn.It wasn't the foul air. It was the extinguishment of my hope. I acted nonchalant when this happened. It had become a routine. We would find a healer only for the whole thing to come crumbling down. But I had believed in the nurse. With most healers I had encountered, the adverse reaction was almost immediate. But Hector Menard had been fine for more than nine hours. Why did it have to fail? What kind of cruel test had the gods placed on my family?It wasn't fair. We eventually reached the solitary chamber and the sentinel proceeded to open the door to allow us access. There were many other guards inside. Their eyes flicked
