Camille's POVAs she spoke, the scent of Lucian's fir-tree pheromones, mixed with her own sickly sweet scent, drilled into my nose.Unable to stand it, I subconsciously covered my nose and mouth with my hand."Did you ask me out here just to show off?""I heard you've been throwing a fit lately, demanding to break the mating bond with Lucian. While I don't know if you genuinely want to be rejected or if you're just fishing for attention, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to warn you: Lucian belongs to me forever. No matter what you do, you can't change that fact."With that, she brushed back a stray strand of hair from her forehead, looking at me with absolute confidence."Between you and me, whether it was five years ago or five years from now, his first choice will always, always be me."I quietly listened to her narcissistic provocation before calmly speaking up."If you're so sure of that, then why was I the she-wolf he mated with five years ago, and not you?"Lara smiled, comp

Camille's POVFive years of wholehearted devotion, yet in the eyes of the Aurora Shadows alpha, it was only fit for the trash can.I had already wasted days because of Malcolm's lies. Now, I had to find Lucian as soon as possible and demand to know Elise's whereabouts.Inside the Aurora Group building, two werewolf receptionists at the front desk stopped me.One of them looked me up and down arrogantly."Excuse me, do you have an appointment?""I'm looking for Lucian."Hearing his name, the professional smiles on the two females' faces vanished instantly. The way they looked at me shifted into something much more calculating."You're looking for our boss? Then you need to make an appointment at least a week in advance."I didn't want to waste time tangling with these people, so I got straight to the point."I am his mate... and the luna of his pack. I have a very important matter to discuss with him."They

Camille's POVHe stopped and turned his head to look at me, anger churning in his eyes.He looked down at me, his tone as cold as if he were speaking to a complete stranger."Sorry, I'm very worried about Lara's condition. I don't have time to talk to you."My hand, which had been gripping his arm, subconsciously let go. My wolf clawed frantically at the inside of my chest.I smiled bitterly. Five years of companionship, and I couldn't even buy one minute of his time to listen.Lucian didn't stay a second longer. He took long strides and walked out.Brad shot me a loaded glance, his eyes full of the petty, triumphant contempt of a villain getting his way, and swaggered out right behind him. Their figures disappeared beyond the revolving doors.The lobby fell quiet again.I stood frozen in place, weakly clenching my palms tight.I still didn't know where Elise was. Every extra minute dragged out was another minute

Camille's POV"Alright, if there's nothing else, hurry up and leave. Don't get in my way." He waved his hand dismissively with a look of disgust, then lowered his head again.I gave him a slight bow, turned around, dropped the medicine into my bag, and left quickly.After securing the medicine, I didn't waste a single second. I drove straight to the Aurora Group headquarters and intercepted Lucian in his top-floor office just as he was about to start a multinational conference.I slammed the black wooden box onto his desk."I brought the medicine. Now, tell the Enforcers to release Elise."Lucian put down his pen, his gaze falling onto the antique medicine box. A flash of suspicion crossed his eyes.His fir-tree pheromones pressed toward me."Camille, are you absolutely sure this box of medicine isn't just some cheap substitute you dug up on the black market?"My nails dug into my palms. I was so furious I was on the ver

Camille's POVMeeting his bloodshot eyes, I shook my head helplessly and let out a bitter laugh as I stepped back."Oh, now you remember I'm his biological mother? Lucian, you are the mate the Moon Goddess bestowed upon me. Yet, over the past five years, as Lara provoked and framed me time and time again, did you ever—even once—believe me without reservation?"Lucian's entire body jerked sharply.I felt the mating bond in my chest—already worn dangerously thin—violently pull taut in that instant, like a string stretched to its absolute breaking point being yanked hard.It was as if something was caught in Lucian's throat. He instinctively wanted to argue back, but he just mumbled, unable to form a single complete sentence.I didn't give him any time to defend himself. I raised my voice and continued."I never said I didn't believe Rowan. I am simply insisting that the Enforcers step in to investigate. Besides,
