Camilla's POV continues

“No, it's fine.” I tell her, but she still doesn't desert the stunned look on her face. “I promise it's not a big deal, accidents happen.” I assure her, hoping to rid the worries she has of me.

Kingston is paying the Uber driver, when he's done, he waves goodbye to the man, addressing him by his name which I won't lie, shocks me.

His hand brushes the top of his startled daughter's head, “Can you watch her while I compete the paperwork?” he asks, his expression unreadable for the first time.

My answer is instant, “Of course.” I tell him, grinning down at Karla who gives me a panicked look. Kids love me, so why does she seem rattled by me?

“Don't worry my love, she'll take great care of you. I promise.” he assures her, leaning down to place a kiss on her forehead before he leaves.

I crotch, meeting her size and smiling at her. “Is Cinderella your favorite princess?” I ask her, to which she shakes her head. “Me neither, I like Elsa.”

Her eyes light up as she smiles, “Really? I love queen Elsa too. She's awesome,” she beams.

“You're awesome Karla,” I tell her, my hand caressing her arm gently. “How old are you sweetie?”

She doesn't respond, instead she shows me her hand, holding out four fingers. “Four? Wow,” I feign a gasp. “You talk too much for a four year old.”

“Sorry,” she instantly replies.

“No, that's a very good thing. You're really clever.”

I say, my hand brushing her nose lightly and she giggles.“You wanna look at some cars, Karla?”

“Yes ma'am,” she beams.

“You can call me Camilla, or whatever you like just not luna.” I assert, making sure she doesn't pick up on her dad's habit.

“Umm, you're a Luna? I want to be a Luna when I grow up, then no one will try to pick on me.” she pouts.

In response I grin wider, playfully pinching her cheeks. “I'm not a luna, someone picked on me too so I became an Alpha.”

“Wow, Tia Brittany says I should be like her but I wanna be you now.”

She says giggling, I shake my head, making her frown. “

You don't have to be like anyone just be you no matter what okay?”

Karla nods, I give her a high five and carry her into my arms. Already feeling too attached to this little girl that I will most likely never see again unless her father decides on coming to bother me at my pack.

“Let's look at some cars,” I grin, securing her on my hip.

“Alright, you show me your favorite and I'll show you mine.” she giggles.

I muzzle her nose, “Deal.” I whisper, my tone deep and she giggles.

Karla and I wander the car dealership, pointing at what cars we like best. You can tell she's her father's daughter because as little as she is, she knows a lot about cars. I don't see a reason why Brittany speculates Kingston is an unfit father, he's a good father in my opinion. I haven't known him for long but his daughter is polite, smart and has a vast vocabulary. That's a good father upbringing in my opinion. I know without a doubt everyone that knows him would agree with my opinion of his parenting capabilities.

Karla is telling me why the Lamborghini is her second favorite car when I feel my heart sink. The hairs on the back of my neck rose, a gaso escaping my parted lips. The sound of my heart beating thumping loud in my ears, it appears he is close. I go into a state of panic, Karla's voice fading as I try to smell him. I can't, my senses won't cooperate. I turn around, Karla still on my hip. I begin to survey the areas with my eyes, and that's when I see him.

Adrian is here, Santiago is here too. They're coming my direction. Adrian is looking at his watch while Santiago talks to the two guys walking hurriedly behind him.

I quickly ran and opened the door to the car Karla was showing me and slipped us inside, “Shh,” I told her. Locking the car instinctively. Karla muted her chit chat and I've never been so thankful for a child doing as they are told.

Adrian poses when he reached the spot I was standing in earlier, Santiago proceeding but halting when he sees Adrian stop. “Adrian,” Santiago groans. “What is it?”

“Mia,” Adrian whispers softly, his eyes roaming the area.

“I know, we're going to look for her, I just need to get the deal done.”

“No, I feel like she's here. Don't you smell her?”

“Oh, you smell her now after creating a scene? Come on, many teenage girl's smell like her, they basically use the same perfume.”

“No,” Adrian argues. “Not her perfume, her scent. It's lingering here, it's faint but I can smell her.”

Santiago laughs, resuming with his walk. “You are going crazy, let's get this meeting done and get back to looking for the girls.”

Adrian doesn't protest, he simply takes one look around, looking back as he follows Santiago. I quickly open the door and slip out with Karla, just in time to meet Kingston. I can't believe that bastard is looking for me? After everything that bastard did to me, he wants me?

No, Adrian really is the most dense person I know, I should have never doubted his sister's word on that.

I walk to Kingston hastily, my eyes finding the car he purchased when I follow his gaze. Looks expensive and worth it, something that Adrian would spend on, he purchases cars for the fun of it.

“Nice car,” I say honestly.

“I like your white G wagon better daddy.” Karla pouts.

Kingston reaches to take her from my arms, placing a kiss on her head. “This one is good too princess, I like it a whole lot and it's faster than the white car, plus the top comes off.” he explains, a never fading grin on his face.

I look back, Adrian's scent flaring up my nostrils. “Can I meet you outside? I have something to do.” I tell him, my eyes wandering to the path leading to the hallway.

“Don't exterminate anyone,” he warns jokingly.

I roll my eyes, turning to leave when Karla's hand reaches out to me.“Please come with us.”

“I promise I'm coming with you, I won't go anywhere, your dad is taking me home.” I tell her, brushing over her fingers lightly.

She nods, only then do I proceed, heading into the hallway once again. Adrian and Santiago are leaving the hallway when we meet.

Both men are stunned to see me, Adrian's eyes immediately scanning my entire body for lord knows what.

His hand reaches out to me, pulling me into his embrace. “Baby, I've looked everywhere for you, and Moon too she run after you, please tell me you have seen her ?” he says, my body goes stiff in his embrace, my hands pushing at his chest with all my might, once I'm free, my hand strikes his face, making Santiago gasp.

“Mia, what the fuck?” he grunts, his hand caressing his face and gaze shifting to Santiago as if to confirm this isn't a dream and trust me, it fucking isn't.

I take two steps back, shaking my head. “What the fuck Mia?” I snarl, imitating him. Unsure of where the habit is coming from, I continue to speak. “Do not fucking touch me and don't give me any of that where have you been bullshit, where I've been is none of your fucking business and as for Belle, she's safe. She will always be safe with me. Also, why would you be looking for me? If I'm not mistaken, you said you never want to see me again and you know what Alpha Adrian? The feeling is mutual, stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours.” I sneer, walking away from him, fast. Not bothering to look at Santiago because I know for a fact that I will break when I see him, he melts my heart with every drop of kindness he's shown me since day one.

Adrian runs behind me, his hand gripping my arm to stop me from walking away. I roll my eyes, whipping around to face him, disdain evident in my expression.

Even as I look at him, I'm not looking at him, I'm simply feigning to look at him, I'm actually picturing a black hole as I do.

In turn, I slap his hand away, grabbing his wrist and twisting it until the hand is twisted behind his back. He groans in disapproval, but doesn't try to wiggle it.

“God damn it! I said do.not.touch.me, you're going to regret it. I don't want anything to do with you neither does Belle so don't fucking touch me, talk to me, look at me or so much as search for me, I was there for you but you didn't want to see me so don't act a fool now.” I growl, putting more friction on his arm until I hear a crack.

Good, mission accomplished. He broke my heart and now, I've broken one bone of his. I want to break more but I won't, he isn't worth my strength or time. My knee lifts from its position between his thighs, slamming into his balls, and then I release his arm, thrusting his arm forward when I do. He falls face first into the ground, I grin, stepping over him as I run away from him, heading outside to meet Kingston and Karla.

They're not hard to find, I swiftly slip into the car, reclining in the seat. Karla giggles from the backseat, clapping her little hands. “Yay, you are back.”

“See, I don't break promises.” I wink, my hands fiddling with the seatbelt until it's secured in. Kingston begins to drive away and right he is, his car is fast. I take a glance back at where we are coming from, I see Adrian aimlessly gazing around, his hand supporting the broken one. I let out a snort, “Pathetic.” I whisper, leaning back into my seat and watching the world pass us by.

“What did I do now?” Kingston asks, making my gaze momentarily grace him.

“Not you,” I explained. My gaze found the back seat, “You okay Karla?”

Karla nods, grinning as she raises her left hand with a thumbs up displayed. I nod, leaving her to focus on her dad's phone as I focus on the road. I try I peek back where we came from once again, but I see nothing. We are already too far off, I can't believe the hypocritical idiocy that goes on in Adrian's brain, he might be smart but when it comes to people, to love, he couldn't be more airheaded.

I'm so tired of going back and forth with him, I'm tired of dealing with monsters we made, the fears that creep into me everytime he leaves me, I don't want any of that anymore. I hope he heeds my warning and stops looking for me like a goddamn fucking lost pup because I'm not, I'm right where I have to be in life.

I would have rather been with him but I promised myself, the second he fucked up, that was the second I would give up. I always had an inkling it would be because of Angel and surprise, it fucking is because of the bitch. My love was never enough, I just know it never has been enough for anyone, ever.
