Chapter Seventy Two : My WolfHer POVMy chest felt tight.Too tight.Like something inside me was pushing… pressing… trying to break out.I stood there, frozen, my hands shaking by my sides. The air around me suddenly felt heavy. Hard to breathe. Hard to think.Theo was still in front of me.The cousin was there too.They were talking… saying things… but I couldn’t hear them properly anymore.Everything sounded far.Distant.Like I was underwater.I placed my hand on my chest.“What… what is happening to me…?” I whispered.My voice sounded strange.Weak.Shaky.My heart started beating faster.Then faster.Then faster.It hurt.I gasped softly, taking a step back.My body felt hot.Too hot.Like fire was spreading inside me.From my chest… to my arms… to my legs.I shook my head quickly.No… this was not normal.This was not me.“I… I don’t feel okay…” I said, my voice trembling.Theo’s head snapped toward me immediately.“Camille?” he called, stepping closer.“No—don’t come close!”

Chapter 74 Her POVThe room was quiet except for the soft rustle of clothing and the low, steady breathing of both of us. Theo sat behind me, his strong hands massaging my shoulders slowly, carefully. His touch was gentle, almost reverent, and I could feel the tension in my muscles easing, even if my mind remained restless. My wolf shifted inside me, pacing, sensing the weight of the moment, the storm of emotions swirling between us.I let out a shaky breath, leaning back slightly into his hands. “Theo…” I said softly, my voice trembling, “I heard about the Stage 2 of the alpha position. Are you preparing?”He paused, his hands stilling for a moment. I felt the heat of his gaze on me, intense and unreadable. “Prepare? Camille… have you forgotten? I already stepped down,” he said, his voice low, a mix of frustration and care.I turned my head slightly to look at him, though my eyes were wary. “Step down? You mean to the cousin? What you said to him… Theo, do you really mean it?”He no

Chapter — The Silent EntranceCamille’s POVThe walk to the arena felt longer than usual.My steps were slow, even though I tried to keep up with them.Theo walked beside me, quiet as always, his face calm, unreadable. Kael was on my other side, his presence steady, like he was making sure I didn’t fall apart before we even got there.No one spoke.There was nothing left to say.Everything had already been decided.Still… my heart would not calm down.It kept beating fast, like it was trying to warn me.Or maybe… prepare me.The gates of the arena came into view.Wide.Tall.Familiar.But today… they looked different.Heavier.Like once I stepped in, I would not be the same person again.I swallowed hard.My fingers curled slightly into my palm.My wolf shifted inside me.Not scared.Not weak.Just… waiting.We walked in.And immediately, the noise hit me.Voices.So many voices.People everywhere.Standing.Sitting.Watching.Waiting.The entire pack was gathered.My chest tightened.

Chapter 78 — The Test BeginsCamille’s POVThe silence after I said “yes” felt heavy.Too heavy.Like the whole world was holding its breath.I stood there in the center, with every eye on me. I could feel their stares on my skin, their thoughts loud even without words.Doubt.Mockery.Curiosity.Some of them still didn’t believe what they were seeing.Some were waiting for me to step back.But I didn’t move.I stayed where I was.Still.The elders stepped forward again, their faces calm but serious. One of them raised his hand slightly, and immediately, a few guards moved.They brought something forward.Something big.Something heavy.The ground shook slightly as it was dragged into place.My breath caught when I saw it clearly.It was a massive iron pillar.Tall and thick, dark in color, with deep marks all over it. Scratches, dents, cracks—proof that many had tried to break it before.This was the test.To strike it.To bring it down.To prove strength.My heart started beating fa

Chapter 80 - The Doubt That Followed VictoryCamille’s POVFor a long moment, no one spoke.The pillar lay on the ground, broken into pieces that could never be joined again. Dust still floated slowly in the air, as if even the ground needed time to accept what had just happened. My chest rose and fell heavily, my breath uneven, my hands still trembling.I stared at the pillar like I didn’t recognize it.Like I didn’t recognize myself.I did that.I actually did that.Before him.Before everyone.The realization felt too big for my heart to hold.Then the murmurs began.Soft at first, like a whisper carried by the wind. Then louder. Then louder again until it spread across the entire place.“She broke it…”“Did you see that?”“That’s not possible…”“How did she do that?”I slowly lifted my head. My eyes moved across the crowd. Faces filled with shock. Some wide-eyed. Some confused. Some staring at me like I had turned into someone else.Like I was no longer just Camille.The elders st
