Chapter Thirty Two - At The CornerCamille POVI was walking through the corridor, my hands lightly touching the railing, when I froze. Voices carried down the hall, familiar and yet so foreign now. My heart thumped in my chest. I slowed, trying to listen without being noticed.It was Aurelia. Her voice was smooth, confident, almost cold. “Theo,” she said, “your father’s banquet is coming. And before that… the next Alpha will be chosen. You know your cousins are also interested. It will cause fights.”My stomach tightened. I had never heard her speak like this before. She was bold, planning, like she was ready to manipulate everything.“My family is the next top family after yours,” she continued. “If your father agrees to engage me before the banquet, my father can make everyone support you. You’ll secure your place.”I stopped moving, clutching the railing. My small wolf pressed against my chest, anxious, trembling. I could feel the fear and tension in the room even from here.Theo’

Chapter 34Camille’s POV – ConfrontationI was sitting alone in my room, my small wolf curled tightly against my chest. The memory of Theo’s kisses and the way he had held me yesterday still burned in my mind. My heart was racing even now, the warmth of his touch lingering on my skin. I could feel the shiver of excitement and fear, and a strange happiness bloomed in me that I hadn’t felt in a long time.But my quiet was broken by the sound of the door opening.“Aha! So this is where you hide, Camille,” a sharp, mocking voice said. My stomach tightened immediately. Aurelia. I looked up to see her standing in the doorway, her eyes glinting with malice.“You know,” she said, stepping closer, her voice dripping with venom, “his mother doesn’t want you. His family doesn’t want you. No one wants a maid like you in their house. You should leave him, Camille. Just go.”I swallowed hard, my heart pounding. For a moment, I thought about turning away, hiding behind my small wolf. But no—I would

Chapter Thirty SixCamille’s POV – Words He Was Not Meant to HearThe room was quiet. Too quiet.I stood by the window, my fingers holding the edge of the curtain, staring outside without really seeing anything. My mind was far away… lost in thoughts I couldn’t stop.Theo.His face. His voice. The way he had held me yesterday.My heart tightened again.I closed my eyes slowly and leaned my head against the wall. My small wolf curled inside me, restless, like it could feel everything I was feeling.“I need to help him…” I whispered softly.My voice sounded small in the empty room.“I need to make him the Alpha…”My chest rose and fell heavily. My hands tightened into fists.“I can’t let him fail because of me.”The words came out stronger this time.I shook my head, pacing slowly across the room. “No… I won’t let that happen. I won’t be the reason people laugh at him… or look down on him… or take what belongs to him.”My throat tightened.“They already hate me… they already call me nam

Chapter Thirty Eight : Think Her POVI was alone in my room, sitting by the window, staring at nothing. My small wolf curled against my chest, trembling slightly. My mind wouldn’t stop racing. That cousin… why did he look so familiar? I could see his face so clearly in my memory, yet it was blank at the same time. My heart twisted, my stomach churned. I wanted to remember, to understand why he made my chest feel heavy and my mind spin, but no matter how hard I tried, the memory refused to come.I closed my eyes and pressed my hands to my face. “Think, Camille,” I whispered to myself. “Where do you know him from? How do you know him?”I tried to replay every face I had seen, every person I had met in this life, and yet nothing fit. It was maddening. My small wolf whimpered softly against me, and I hugged it tighter, wishing for answers I didn’t have.The door creaked open quietly, and I looked up. Theo stepped in. He moved with that calm, confident stride that always made me feel smal

Chapter FortyHer POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I saw was him. Sitting quietly beside me, his strong frame silhouetted by the soft morning light, his eyes were fixed on me, calm, steady, full of something I couldn’t yet name. My chest tightened. Relief, fear, longing… everything hit me at once.“Kael…” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Thank you.”He shook his head slightly, a faint smile brushing his lips. “Don’t worry, Camille. I’ll always help you. Always.”I blinked, my heart racing. I had so many questions, so many things to say. I couldn’t stop the words from tumbling out. “Do… do you know me?”His eyes softened. “Do you think I’ve forgotten you?”I sat up slowly, my small wolf pressing against my chest, trembling as if it understood the weight of what was happening. My instincts screamed at me—my memory, my gut, everything in me knew him. I knew him. Somehow… I had always known him.“Where… where do I know you from?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, shaking with
