CHAPTER SIXTEEN
CAMILLE’S POV :
I trembled as she laid her hands on my dressed wound, she caressed my back as if it was a fine piece that she loved and would love to see always.
Then I felt a heavy slap at my back…
ALPHA AIDEN’S POV :
I was going over to the dungeon to see Camille, if only she had respected herself tsk. On getting there I heard loud screams and I quickly rushed towards the direction.
One thing was for sure, that was Camille’s voice, I don’t know why she’s screaming so loud. The guards opened the gate as I rushed in.
What I saw wasn’t expected.
Camille was on the floor in front of my mum whimpering as her back bled. I looked up from her to see my mum smiling, I dunno why I felt so angry at what just happened.
“Mum, can we talk please. Like right now” I requested of her as I left the place, I just couldn’t see that sight.
I told her I would handle everything but no she never listens.
After I had told her, I went to my room to try to calm down without being seen or asked unnecessary questions.
I sat in my room, fuming with anger. I couldn’t believe what had just happened, I don’t even know why I’m this upset. Mum had hit my so called Mate and i was furious.
I stormed out of my room going straight to my office as a maid had come and told me my mum was waiting for me at the office.
Going into the office, she was sitted so calmly, like nothing had happened.
“Why did you go down there and did what you did. I’m sure your the reason she screamed so loud and her back bled again” I demanded an answer .
“She hasn’t done anything to you has she?” The anger was visible as I spoke but I tried to hide the feeling.
“Why are you so upset on how I treated that good for nothing Aiden?” She scoffed.
His mother looked at him with a mixture of guilt and defiance. “You are being disrespectful over nothing” she said.
I shooked my head in disbelief. I know mother and father disliked her but the reason didn’t stand right with me, hmm. But “still” I said.
“You shouldn’t have laid a hand on her , Former Luna or not. You shouldn’t have even gone down to the dungeon, what if something had happened to you huh? And even if she was being disrespectful and attacked the Luna that doesn’t give you the right to physically harm her, she has already served her punishment” I hissed.
“That punishment wasn’t enough to put her in her right senses and I wasn’t okay with it” she hissed back.
“I am the Alpha now mum, don’t defy me. You may be my mother but I am Alpha” this time around she was shocked , her face was unexplainable.
” There are better ways to handle a situation like that, what if she harmed you? .” And if she was to get hurt, it would be me that will and nobody else, I thought. Nobody else.
Mum looked down at the ground, shame written all over her face. “You’re right,” she said. “I shouldn’t have lost my temper like that. I’m sorry.”
I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “I forgive you,” I said. “But please, promise me you’ll never do something like that again” I haven’t seen her be so cruel like that and I didn’t like that one bit she should leave the cruelness to me.
She nodded. “I promise,” she said. “I’ll try to find better ways to deal with my anger in the future.”
I went to her and hugged her tightly. “I love you,” I said. “I just want you to be the best person you can be.”
“I love you too,” She said, tears streaming down her face. “I’m sorry for letting you down and for bringing out that part in me”.
I held her for a few more moments before letting go.
“And I’m not siding her mum, I just don’t want you involving yourself in all this commotion that’s happening recently”.
Meanwhile I got back to the room , expecting the Laila to be back from wherever she went too so early but met no one.
I paced back and forth in the room, my frustration growing with each step, it was already late and Laila wasn’t back.
I had specifically ordered her to stay in bed and rest even if she was healed , but she needs some energy. But it seemed that this Luna just couldn’t follow a simple instruction.
I had been checking every few hours to see if she was back but now I’m done waiting, that’s her business.
I sighed and went to bed, shutting the lights. While on the bed I had someone on my mind, just couldn’t get her out. Damn it.
As I was about to let the sleep take me , I heard the door opening slowly as footsteps approached into the room.
“Where have you been?” I asked Laila as I turned on the lights, staring at her. Her face was visible shown fear as I asked her.
“Umm I umm went to see a friend” she answered as she closes the door and walked towards the bed. I don’t care, don’t even want her to explain shit but she shouldn’t do anything that would taint me.
“I can’t have my Luna sneaking like a frog. Why were you even sneaking. You should be resting even though you feel much better but at least try and get some energy for now” I stated.
She looked up at him with pleading eyes. “I know, Alpha, I apologize” she said.
She nodded reluctantly. “I understand,” she said. “I’ll try to be better about resting.”
“Good. Shower and get some rest” I told her as I closed my eyes though leaving the lights on . She can put it off when she’s done.
Tomorrow I’ll have to see someone and ask some questions
