Chapter 5

Camille's POV

I’m a very first learner, so I watch them. One day, I’ll get to practice it and be very good, too.

There was a day I almost got caught watching them, I lost track of time but thank God Ivy immediately covered for me though I served a punishment for being late but was glad I did what I did.

“I miss you Mum and Dad” I touched the necklace given to me by them “I wish you guys were here with me.”

Soon the night came and when I saw that everyone had gone in and it was very dark I decided to sneak out, this would be my first time sneaking out to the river but I can’t help it. There are guards but I managed to go through them and when I did I ran and ran to the riverside.

it was beautiful, I haven’t seen this place in years. My parents took me here the last time we had a picnic together, it was so fun. And right now there’s also a full moon, beautiful.

I laid down on a clean ground and closed my eyes, enjoying the sweet smell I got from the place but that soon ended when I felt pain in my body.

“Arghhhh” I groaned and stood up to move but got back on my knees as I felt my hands twist in a very unlike manner. I felt bones breaking as I screamed in pain and tears fell from my eyes. The pain was just too much then soon everything stopped, no sound was heard.

Alpha Aiden’s POV

I could already smell her and a few minutes later she was here requesting to be let to step out since it was her birthday. I had no idea it was her birthday, pfft whatever.

“We should get something for her birthday,” Alistair whined.

“You should stop talking shit, that’s what you should do,” I told him back with a snarl. After all this year he still craves for her, yes I want a mate I will love and cherish but did she have to be that poor lowlife girl, Camille, what have I done to deserve this?

“But she’s our mate, human, and we can’t deny that. You let them treat her like trash and I don’t like it one bit” he growled at me before he shut me out.

We are gonna do this again? Damn, this wolf. I wonder where she wants to step out too, she should better keep her ass in this house. She’s going nowhere or she has a boy she wants to meet, I ground my teeth together on that thought. She wouldn’t dare.

I just watched her as my parents discarded her and she had no choice but to obey and leave. On her way out she slammed the door so hard that I was shocked. Feisty I see.

I was about to follow her and give her a mouthful because that was disrespectful, just imagine the audacity she had, but my mum stopped me.

“Sweetheart please let her go, she isn’t worth the stress and time.”

Nighttime came so fast and I was in my room and was done with work for today and training. I had become better in my skills and grew stronger. I was ready and was getting more ready.

I couldn’t sleep, I thought I heard cries but I pushed it aside thinking it was all in my head. I headed down to the kitchen to get some water when I smelled her.

I turned around as she muttered “mate” from her mouth, my eyes full from just hearing that one word.

Camille’s POV

I was standing and I looked down and saw paws.

“Huh” was already confused, what happened? I walked down to the river, it was a bit shaky since I haven’t turned before. I figured I had shifted and I want to see how I look.

Looking into the river I saw the most beautiful wolf. I was taken aback.

“I’ll be damned, we are fine,” a voice told me. I screamed in my head in shock and turned my wolf head around to check if anyone was there.

“Who’s that?” But the only response I got was a giggle.

“Calm down, human, I’m your wolf. My name is Lunaris”

“Omg I’m so happy to meet you, I’m Camille,” I said back, super excited I met my wolf with such a beautiful name.

I have heard and seen people talk to their wolves, I loved that and now I actually can. I had a wolfy grin as I looked back down into the river. I am an ash grey wolf and when I turned my neck to the side while admiring myself, I noticed I had a birthmark on my neck. Wow, it was quite interesting.

“I know right, I can hear your thoughts and I’m also happy to meet you. And that mark is from your father, his wolf had it” Lunaris told me.

“But how do you know my dad?” Thinking of it I think I’ve seen something like this on his neck or the hand of his wolf too.

“I’ve been with you all your life just that I haven’t been out yet and now I am”

While we chatted and got to know each other and new things, I noticed it was too late and I had overstayed. Quickly I changed back to my human form, my clothes were shredded and I picked up whatever I could and wore it. Wasn’t so bad.

I managed to get back in without being noticed but on my way to my room I smelled something, I couldn’t just move anymore. I sniffed and moved in the direction of that chocolate smell.

Me getting my wolf has increased most of my sense organs, my smelling, and my hearing too.

I landed in the kitchen and met someone I didn’t expect but the next thing that happened was not in my list of surprises.

“Mate” my wolf called out.
