All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Mated with My Ex's Uncle: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Camellia's POVI stepped around Esmond and reached for the keys to open the door. He suddenly grabbed my wrist.I felt a sharp pain at the back of my neck.The moment Esmond grabbed my wrist, the smell of pine and verbena hit me. Lyra, at the base of my spine, scratched restlessly.This hybrid, who once exchanged vows with me, now had pupils flickering in amber colors."Cam, I have another reason for coming today," he said, his Adam's apple betraying his suppressed wolf.The broken bond between us crackled with static, and the pine pheromones hammered into my temples like rusty nails."Spit it out, and don't touch me," I shook off his hand, irritation rising."You should notice that Lionel treats you..." His molars ground with the distinctive werewolf sound. The fractured mate contract gave his words a double tone—human voice underlain with a young male wolf's growl.Lyra suddenly lunged, hitting my diaphragm. It w

Camellia's POV"Thank goodness you're up. That photo was taken by a well-known photographer. He casually posted it on his personal Instagram after coming back, and unexpectedly, it went viral. People are praising you and Lionel as a good-looking pair, a perfect match," Eugenia said.I was left speechless.Even though the photo only captured our profiles, anyone who knew us could easily recognize us. No wonder Esmond was so angry earlier."It's just a matter of shooting angle. I'll contact Lionel. Talk to you later."If this incident gets blown out of proportion, it won't benefit me in any way.After hanging up, I thought for a moment and contacted Konstantin instead of Lionel directly.Upon learning that I was inquiring about the photo, Konstantin hurriedly said, "Miss Sanders, our team is already in contact with the photographer to resolve this. Please don't worry.""Alright, please let me know once it's settled," I replied.

Camellia's POVI was about to continue my experiment in the lab when I received a message from Blanche, asking me to go to her office.I entered the office. Blanche smiled as she asked me to sit down."Camellia, how was your business trip to New York with Mr. Dalton?"I pursed my lips and replied, "It was okay. What do you need me for, Blanche?""Here's the thing. Headquarters highly values the project you're developing, and since it's funded by Pioneer Tech, they want to send you to work at their company for a while. This way, Mr. Dalton won't have to keep running back and forth to follow up on the experiment's progress."I was surprised and my eyebrows furrowed."How long will I be there? And does Pioneer Tech have a lab?"Blanche smiled and said, "I'm not exactly sure how long you'll be there. Probably until the project has made some progress. As for the lab, don't worry. Pioneer Tech bought a building next to their group he

Camellia's POVAs I sneered, a burning pain surged in the back of my neck.Lyra growled threateningly in the depths of my consciousness, her fangs scraping against my spine.Each word I uttered carried the low - frequency tremor characteristic of werewolves, "If you dare go to my dad again, I'll expose your infidelity."The broken mate bond exploded in my chest like thorny bushes. The remnants of verbena's cloying sweetness in Esmond's cuffs stung my olfactory nerves."Are you not afraid of worsening his condition?" he said with a shrug, fueling my anger as my fists clenched."How could you become so shameless?" I exclaimed."Shameless?"Esmond's pupils swirled with the Ironclaw Pack's bloody totem. The fingertips gripping my jaw exuded a murky blend of pine and verbena."Cam, I merely wanted you back and to keep your distance from Lionel. You're the one provoking me," he said.I stumbled backward against the wall

Camellia's POVFrom Connor's conversation with that man, I figured out he kidnapped me for money.In a flash, everything became clear.Claire wanted me dead but didn't want to get involved, so she arranged for Connor to kidnap me. If I died, Connor would take the blame.She might even plan to kill him too. After all, dead men tell no tales.Seeing I didn't respond, Claire sneered, "If you don't call, you'll die right now."I knew calling Esmond was my only chance to survive.If I could hold on until he came, I might live."Alright, I'll call.""You give the number, I'll dial. But think carefully about what you say."She put Esmond's call on speakerphone.But it wasn't Esmond who answered. It was Hazel."Who's this?"Recognizing Hazel's voice, my heart sank."It's Camellia. I need to speak to Esmond."Hazel giggled. "Esmond's taking a shower. You can tell me what you want, and I'l
