Chapter 7Lucien's POV…I was not disappointed when Camilla told me that she wanted to go home, to her home. We had just met so I did not want to scare her by being too demanding.I knew that she would not run away, after all, this mate bond thing was just too strong and too deep for someone to ignore. I readily agreed because I knew that sooner or later, we will find our way back to each other.Although I was eager to get to know her and hear her side of the story, I did not want to scare her off by insisting that she go to my home. Meeting her has been too abrupt, and beside me appearing calm on the surface, I was too excited on the inside that I wanted time to cool down.I had the urge to kidnap her home but I did not dare to. I could only be patient with her. I ordered the driver to start the car. Seeing that she was in deep thoughts and seemed to be battling with something in her mind, I did not disturb her.I closed my eyes and rested my head at the back of my seat because I was
Chapter 8Lucien's POV…I have never felt this empty before. We have only met for a few hours now and already I cannot let go? I shook my head mock resignation and opened the car door to step out.How I wished to just grab her, hug her and never let go. But I knew that will only scare her.“Welcome home!” I said as I helped her out of the car. Her hand was warm and although I could feel the roughness in her palm maybe from doing a lot of manual work, I still felt that I was being caressed by the softest hands on the earth.“Thank you.” I saw her nod her head but her head was lowered.“What is it?” I inquired, feeling puzzled by her sudden submission. Why wasn’t she speaking while looking at me in the eyes like she had done in the car?“Nothing!” she shook her head but her face was still lowered. I could not tell what was going through her head.“Why are you lowering your head? You are about to kiss the ground!”“How dare I look at you? You are the great alpha; I can’t look at you dire
Chapter 9Elisa's POV…A few days had passed since the ballroom party but everything that happened that night was still fresh in my mind. I could not get it out of my head no matter what. It was bothering me to a certain extent.I could not help but recall it every now and then…… When I heard Camilla's voice and that she wanted to congratulate us, I was astonished and an uneasy feeling cropped up in my heart.Ever since Lenox rejected her, I haven’t laid my eyes on her, nor did I seek her out because I knew that she was no longer a threat to me. But when I heard the familiar voice at such a place, my heart skipped a bit.I never imagined that with her current situation, she would actually manage to attend such a party. I only wished that she was not there to mess thigs up.But when I turned around and saw her, the fear and uneasiness that I felt vanished into nothingness. Camilla was there, standing before us, in a long maroon dress that was clearly from the last season line of cloth
Chapter 10Elisa's POV…I stared at the man who had entered the room with a pounding heart. I swear on my life that I have never seen a man as handsome and as majestic as the one standing before us.He had a kingly aura and his haughty attitude was hard to ignore. The way he looked at everyone, it was like the whole world contained nothing but insignificant beings who were not worthy his attention. His gaze was extremely cold and there was no hint of smile on his face.I studied every inch of his face and I could not find any flaws. He was staring at Camilla so intensely and so did everyone at him. it was only after Pat called him that I came back to my senses so did everyone because I could hear hurried breathings in the room.Seems like everyone had been holding their breathe since the man appeared and they were now gasping for air as if they had almost drowned.When I came back to my senses, I saw that he was still staring at Camilla with something that looked like a heated gaze. I
Chapter 11Camilla's POV…It has been one week since the party and since I met Lucien. After I told him everything about my life, I had this peaceful feeling that I haven’t had in years.I feel like all my burdens have been taken care of and I am in a good mood. My grandfather has undergone his surgery and he is recovering well. Lucien had helped me find the best donor and the best doctor for the surgery.I really do not know how to thank him. At my lowest, I had asked the moon goddess to send me her angel, and she had sent one, who was more than enough for me.The only thing that is still puzzling me is how I have a second mate. Maybe it is also a gift from the moon goddess after knowing that I have been wronged. After my past experience with Lenox, my heart has been locked behind a cold wall, but I know that it is only a matter of time.Lucien seemed to be very busy these past few days, he would always come home late and leave early. I have taken time to familiarize myself with him
Chapter 12Camilla's POV…After my payment was processed, I dragged my shopping cart towards the entrance. Although I had bodyguards around, I did not wish for them to show themselves, especially when these three trouble makers were around.I made my way towards the entrance but I did not foresee someone bump in me. I almost fell but managed to steady myself using the shopping cart. It was only after I reached the counter did I realize that I have bought a lot of stuff.I could not see the front well so when someone bumped in me from the back, I was momentarily disoriented and did not see that someone was in front. It was only after I heard someone cry in pain that I realized I might have hurt someone.I immediately stopped and walked around to the front to take a look. but when I saw the person lying on the floor, I was stupefied.‘What is Emily doing in front of my cart? Hadn’t they been behind me waiting in cue to pay? How come she is now in front of my shopping cart wailing her he
Chapter 13Camilla's POV…After the attendant found the wine in my shopping cart, and confirmed that I had not paid for it, it stunned everyone at the scene.“See manager, I told you to be careful. Once a thief always a thief. Not only did she hurt someone, she was also planning to steal such an expensive wine from your supermarket.” Elisa said. She sounded like the goddess of justice as she earnestly spoke of my ‘bad behavior.’“Is this true?” the manager turned around and asked me. I could the fury in his eyes and if I did not give a concrete answer, I will so much trouble. But even so, I was not one bit afraid.“I don’t know how the wine got into my shopping cart. You can ask your attendants. They were the ones who processed everything.” I said, not at all quivering in fear like most of them had expected.“Who served her?” the manager asked angrily. I knew that the cashier and the attendants who served me will never come forward as they were afraid of being implicated.But I did n
Chapter 14Camilla's POV…I could see the astonishment in every one’s eye as they looked at the video. As for the three fucking bitches, I did not have to turn to look at the them to see the expression on their faces.‘It must be quite entertaining.’ I thought.The video continued to play. Brenna was seen coming back sneakily and dropped something in my shopping cart while I was still apologizing to Emily. It was clearly the bottle of red wine that I have been accused of stealing.“Officers, I think you already have everything you need and you now know that I am innocent, please if you may excuse me, I need to leave.” I said to the leading officer.I have wasted enough time already. The bodyguards that I had told to wait in the car must be wondering what is taking me so long.It was also two hours’ drive from here to Lucien's villa, thus that could only leave me with a few hours to prepare dinner.“Manager, make sure you investigate this properly maybe someone in deed wanted to steal
