Chapter 7

CAMILLE'S POV :

Seven years have passed since Aiden had taken over from his late Father, he is now 28 years and I'm 25.

Yes, the Alpha was ill and didn't survive the sickness he had, Aiden had to step up and take over.

He ruled with an iron hand. Most of his subjects hated him but they couldn't deny that everything benefited their pack in the end, which I overheard.

When his Dad died I thought I would be free to go but no I wasn't free, things got worse when he turned Alpha. I was now his rag.

It hurt me to see my mate treat me like this but I couldn't do anything at the moment.

When his mum told him that she had found a woman for him to marry, the daughter of a noble in their pack and she was the best fit for him. He blamed it all on me for the inability of not having a real mate.

I was at the ceremony where they got joined as a pair, I was allowed out since I would help in working but I'm sure someone was watching me so I wouldn't escape.

I watched as my mate was joined together with some woman and shared a kiss. My wolf howled in pain at him being another's, he constantly and slowly put hate in me for him but I don't know why the love I felt was topping my hate and despise for how I'm being treated, I just hope he doesn't push me further till I finally hate him.

Over these years I and Lunaris have been there for each other. Ivy and Miss Clara noticed that something was wrong and things weren't going so well with how I was treated but I shrugged it off. I don't want them getting in my mess.

Lunaris often gets sad, mad, and annoyed but we calm each other, she still wants her mate back but I don't think he will ever love and accept us.

ALPHA AIDEN'S POV :

I was now Alpha after my Dad had died. I was supposed to have a mate by then but I lied and that I haven't found my mate. Then my mum brought a girl for me from a noble and that was who I was to get married to, and the council agreed. Now the council is of the King and Queen, those are like the overall decisions. Is a place where important meetings are carried out, concerning different packs and their issues and how they can be solved and many other things.

I had my wedding and maybe we would come to love each other with time, I thought.

After my wedding, Camille avoided me, which I noticed. Well, it's all her fault, I'm just giving her a little break but I've not gone half of what I've planned for her.

"You still want to continue with what you have been doing, hasn't she had enough" my wolf argued with me. We have had so many arguments on how I treat her but I don't care.

"Well if she wasn't such a lowlife, we would have been happy. So don't blame me for her mistakes" I argued back.

"Just leave the girl alone, you don't want her right? Then let her go. As much as it will hurt me, I'll be glad she's free than be here and be treated like nothing"

"No Alistair, she's not free to go and be happy, she will remain here and suffer for what she has caused me" I growled at him and the thought of her leaving. She stays.

But before he could say anything else, I heard my name.

"Aiden, Love" I turned to see my wife who was calling out to me. I had lost track of what I was doing while arguing with my wolf.

"Pfft love, gross" Alistair felt very irritated by Laila. Yeah her name is Laila, she's beautiful no doubt.

"Our mate is gorgeous and breathtaking, this one is just starting on getting there" Alistair replied sassily, hearing my thoughts. Damn wolf, I hated arguing with him, I love my wolf but he just doesn't get it.

I ignored what he said and focused on the lady in front of me.

"Sorry, beautiful, discuss with my wolf," I told her, smiling at her. We were in my room, which is now our room. My room is very big with unique things, the design was chosen by me and she loved it.

"Oh really? Is everything okay? You looked a bit upset" she said, touching my arm softly.

"Yeah, it's all good, just some unimportant argument" Alistair snarled at my response.

"Alright if you say so. So I wanted to know a few things about the pack, important things too" she asked.

"Sure, what do you want to know?"

"Well I know we can shift but we don't, we are only allowed to shift on the full moon. Why's that?" She asked me a bit confused.

"Well, that privilege was getting abused by some persons in the pack in a wrong way so the law was set. But guards and warriors are trained both in wolf form and human form but they also have rules regarding their changing" I explained to her as she listened, quite interested in knowing more things that she didn't know before. She asked a few more questions, she's lucky I wasn't busy so I took my time to explain things to her and how it works.

This wouldn't be so bad, this could work out but after that night.

A few days later things started to change, Laila would go out and come home late, the way she smelled and behaved. I kept observing her until I saw something which I couldn't believe, I barely even knew nor loved her but I thought we could work but I guess I was wrong
