Thirty Three

CAMILLA'S POV

I didn't ever think I would be this huge. The last time I shapeshifted,I was spotted as a weakling and fragile little wolf. Ever since then,I decided to hide my wolf from everyone. The Silver pack which belonged to my father protected me for so many years. I was homeschooled to prevent been bullied. I stayed in doors through out my life because I was scared of being called a weakling. Sometimes I disguise myself as a poor human and move round the Streets. People laughed at me saying how lean and fragile I looked.

I heaved an heavy sigh and sat on my bed. I want to go home to see my Father. I Know he would be missing me. I can't wait to show my wolf to my packs. I want them to be happy and shocked the same way it happened here.

I took my phone and wanted to call him when I decided to scroll through the latest news. The first news boldly written was about Alexander's father?. Is he dead?. But even if, why would he make it public. Does he wants to look pathetic to people or what. I clicked to read more and found out that his Father has been sick and slumped yesterday evening. He was also rushed to the hospital. His father is a werewolf. Why should he slump or fall seriously ill?. I don't blame him, he has lived for so many years. He should be around 200years old or more You know werewolves don't age easily. Maybe it's his time to go.

I dropped my phone immediately and forgot to call my Father. I went to the pack house library and decided settle with a more interesting book. I sat there for hours reading. Suddenly,a knock came on the library's door and it opened revealing who it was.

Lucy.

"Hi". She said smiling

I didn't want to get friendly with her yet. I still really don't trust her.

"Uhmm ...I looked for you around and I couldn't find you. A maid told me you were here so I came immediately". I Heard her say

Why is she looking for me?. Hope I'm safe?

"Oh...so hope there's no trouble?". I asked her.

"Not at all. I Just wanted to thank you for that. You really saved me from Alpha Alexander. I'll forever remain greatful.". She said bowing slightly. I widened my eyes seeing her gesture. Why would she bow to me?. I feared the unthinkable.

Or as she really changed? I felt speechless. A whole proud lady as Lucy would bow to weak me?. Or as she finally accepted me as the Alpha's mate?

"It's okay. It was actually nothing. I hope you are ok now?" I asked scrutinizing her.

"Yes. Also,I can help you get closer to Roland. I was his very best friend so I knew his likes and dislikes. I want you both to know each other before you tie the knot ". Lucy said smiling widely.

I raised a brow quizzically.

"I know you don't trust me yet. And I'm sorry for making you feel that way. I've already started seeing a therapist to stop my excessive intake of Alcohol". She said smiling more.

",Oh". I said nodding my Head.

"So I want to make it up to everyone. This is my own way of apologizing for what I've caused in the pack house.". She said dejectedly.

I don't know if This is a trap or not, but I'm already falling for her words. Feels like hypnotism.

"I'll be very happy if you do that. You are nice. I hope you don't take too much alcohol so you won't have splitting personality Disorder ". I advised her.

"Yes. My doctor said so too. I haven't taken alcohol ever since that day ". She continued

"ok. It would be good if you don't". I assured her.

"By the way,I didn't expect your wolf to be that huge yesterday". She said.

"Yes it is. It has been huge and strong since". I lied to her

"Why didn't you tell us. We all thought you were very weak and fragile and that was why your first mate rejected you". She said and I looked up at her and clenched my fist a little.

"Ooopsy sorry....I didn't mean it that way. Pardon me.". She said looking sorry.

"It's ok actually. It happens sometimes. I'm used to people calling me that.". I said faking a smile.

How can I get used to people calling me weak and fragile. I'm going to prooof to everybody that I'm not only a huge wolf but also a strong Luna.

"Ermm. I would like take my leave now. ....by dear". She said waving me as she left.

Strange!. Why would she want me to meet her to tell m Roland's favorite things?.

Getting already tired,I stood up to go to my room. I dropped the book back on the shelf and left the library.

I went to my room and found my phone. There were about 3 missed calls from Roland.

I picked it up immediately.

"Hello. How are you doing today".? He asked me.

"I'm good. I saw your missed calls and j decided to call you back". I said smiling.

"Yeah. I knew. You might either be sleeping or in the library do decided not to bother you". Roland continued on the phone.

"When are you coming home?". I asked.

"As soon as I'm done with this work, I'd come home". Roland said. I could hear him flipping some files he must be working before I called.

Roland doesn't pick up his calls anytime he's working. He sees it as distraction.

I bit my mouth lightly as the realization hits me.

"I'm sorry for disturbing. I never knew you were busy. I'd call you back later or probably see you at home ". I Said immediately.

"You're not disturbing me. Did I say so?". He asked.

"No...but....". He already cut me off.

"Shh. No buts again. So tell me, have you had anything to eat?". He asked.

That's when I Just remembered that I haven't eaten since morning and it's already afternoon. I kept quiet thinking of what to say.

"Don't tell me you've not had anything to eat?". He growled slightly.

"Uhmm. I was in the library probably the maids looked for me and thought I went out...ermm.. so I... I will eat lunch now". I said immediately.

"Good. Don't try it again!". I heard him say.

"I have to go baby, I'd see you at home. I love you". He said cutting the call.

_i love you_ word rang in my ears.

I love him too. I love him so much!. I would tell him how much I love him and want to be with him forever.

I went downstairs and had my lunch.

After lunch,I decided to go around the pack house. It felt very peaceful. I went to the garden and inhaled the scent of air and flowers. The flowers in the garden blossomed. I moved further away from the garden and went to a mini tennis court.

"Wow,I never knew Roland knows how to play tennis". I said to no one in particular.

"You wanna play?". I Heard a cold deep voice say.

I turned back to see Fred.

" Uhmm hi... Fred". I bowed my head slightly.

"How are you?". He asked.

"I'm good". I answered shortly smiling.

"I must say,you surprised me yesterday. Nice of you". Fred said and I smiled hard.

"Thanks". I replied curtly.

"So what are you doing here?". He asked.

"Uhmm I came to sightsee around here. I haven't been around here before ".I said smiling

"Uhmm. Ok ..so can you play tennis?". He asked picking a racket.

"Not really. I didn't really get to have so much fun.". I said smiling.

"Do you want to give it a try?". He asked.

He thought me how to play tennis for a while before I mastered it. We played for a while,he did win in almost every time we played.

I really enjoyed it.

I suddenly felt a gaze on me and I looked up to see Roland faraway watching us Play. I waved at him to come over and he began jogging to meet us.

"I see you're having fun?". He asked us.

"Hey bro . What's up ". Fred said jokingly

"So you have been here playing tennis with my soon to be wife and sister in law when your mates are working in the office?". Roland asked accusingly.

"When I have an Alpha like you,why would I work or lack?". He asked jokingly.

Fred loves joking. He always brings out positive vibes and energy anytime he's around. Even though in a difficult situation,he'd find a way to cheer him self up.

I smiled thinking of how his child is going to be.

His wife would give birth anytime soon so she was advised to stay in and work around her room as a form of exercise.

"I see he has won you several times". Roland said chuckling.

"Now let me show you how to be the master of the game". Roland said collecting the racket from my hand.

"Just be cheering me". He said cracking his neck left and right.

"Of course I will". I said clapping cheerfully.

Roland and Fred started playing. Few minutes in the game,Fred already won 4 times. I already got tired of cheering for him.

"As an Alpha,you're meant to win". Fred said taunting Roland.

"As an Alpha,it's good to know your opponents weakness before tackling". Roland said smirking.

Then the second round began with Roland winning with 7-4. I cheered loudly. Fred too didn't relent but there must surely emerge a winner.

"My Roland won ... hurray"... I jumped excitedly.

"If you had cheered for me too,I could have won". Fred said.

"Go tell your wifey to cheer for you ". Roland said Chuckling.

"You know her condition. Do you want to send her to early labor?". Fred asked.

Everyone laughed heartily. The three of us kept on walking around the house. Truth be told,the house was very big and I already imagined my self living here forever.

We found our way back home and sat at the dining for dinner. After dinner, everyone retired to bed.

Roland came to my room later and we talked.

I wanted to tell him how much I loved him this evening. How am I going to start?.

"Roland?". I asked biting my lips feeling nervous.

"Yes love.. come here". He said with his deep voice.

I came to his side and he tapped his laps. Meaning I should seat on it.

"Uhm I want to tell you something". I said not sitting on his leg.

"What is it?". He asked.

"Uhmm...I....I.m". I became all nervous.

"You're what?". Roland asked already feeling somehow.

"I love you". I said fastly closing my eyes.

You love me?
