Camilla's POV continues
******
An hour with the veterans and I’ve heard an earful Michelle was butting heads with Ashanti. Ashanti is clearly the better replacement version of Michelle back at Dark Moon which explains why she hasn't been home in year's.
Being cooped up with each other here is making everyone lose it. Molly has made friends with Tiana, and I'm not surprised, her personality is lovable but alarming. I sometimes wonder if seeing Tiana doesn't remind Camilla too much of her late twin but it seems they're okay.
It's been a long night for me, this is the second party I'm attending tonight. I'm about to tell Adrian to give up when Camilla opens her eyes. Adrian and Ryan both rush to her, each on either side of the bed. “Princess.” They both say as they turn to look at each other before looking back at Camilla.
Camilla is looking around the room when she sits up. She mumbles something under her breath stretching her neck. Her hand goes to where Adrian's mark now resides, she rubs her hand on it, it probably hurts. “Why does my head hurt, did I pass out?”
“This nincompoop marked you.” Alpha Ryan affirms.
Camilla crinkles her nose as she stares at Adrian, her mouth form an "O" at the realization of Ryan's words. Adrian doesn't have it in him to look her in the eye after marking her against her will.
“Pardon me but Kiddo we need an answer from you, I can't stay in the same room as the veterans for one more second.” Michelle grits through her teeth, her words are aimed at Ashanti who doesn't hold back from replying.
“Honey, you're not a sight for sore eyes so shut the fuck up. I am itching to beat the disrespect out of your pretty purple lips.”
“Err, excuse you. What makes you think you can take me? I -”
“Shut the fuck up, both of you.” Luna Arielle yells in a calm voice, I don't know how she's sounds calm while yelling. Luna Arielle is the type to rain hell at you and the tenderness of her voice soothes the trauma inflicted by her words.
Amazing, if Camilla runs our pack anywhere bearing how good Arielle is right now, there will be no problems ever. I have faith in Camilla and her abilities, I just think she's a little too soft and can be caused to be biased with the right manipulation.
Adrian marking Camilla automatically names her Luna, the official right is to be given by him so everyone respects her and treats her as such later but the way he marked her, is more than enough to make her the next Alpha if anything were to happen to him.
Ryan tucks in a strand of Camilla's hair and smiles. “I want you to think carefully about your answer to what I'm about to ask you,” Camilla nods, tensing under Adrian's touch. “Who do you want to go with, the veterans or hunters? Remember whatever choice you make, won't change anything. I will still adore you the same regardless of where you live, so now tell me. Would you rather live with this idiot, Santiago and your friends or you'd like to stay with me and Arielle forever. If you choose Midnight Saints, you still get to see me but if you choose Dark Moon, you can't go back there, ever. You'd have to cut all ties with this boy.”
I wince for Adrian's ego but smile at Ryan's intellect, he wants Camilla to choose Midnight Saints but he doesn't want to make her feel manipulated so he is convincing her and everyone here she actually has a choice, when he has already decided what he thinks is best for her. Kind of like I did to her when I separated her from Adrian two months ago.
Camilla looks at Arielle who is staring at her with a pleading look before darting to Mirabelle, who is also giving her a pleading stare. She looks away from them and searches the room for me, when she finds me she looks at me with sad eyes, she does the same with Ashanti who nods in response.
The last person she looks to for hope, and probably an answer is Tiana. Tiana flickers her gaze between both Ryan and Adrian before shrugging. Camilla 's eyes begin to water when she realizes the ball is in her court, no one is going to help her make this decision, it's up to her and she will make the right decision, I believe in her and in Ryan's clean manipulation tactics.
“Fine, I'll go with my pack.” She says pushing Adrian's hand off her lightly.
“Thank God, can you walk or do you need your brother to carry you?” Luna Arielle asks.
Ryan rubs Camilla's arm as his gaze finds his Luna, “You don't get it, Dark Moon is your pack Arielle, Milla's pack is now Midnight Saints.”
I let out a sigh of relief, I too thought she chose Dark Moon but she didn't, Camilla is a sensible girl. She knows Luna's pack comes before anything, thus she's putting her issues with Adrian aside to be there for the pack. She has started her reign as Luna on a good note and I can't wait to see what wise and tremendous things she does in the future.
Camilla slides out of bed and hugs the veterans, they cry for a few minutes as they say their goodbyes. When they're done, we get ready to leave, Sienna doesn't miss the opportunity to hug Adrian.
Camilla rides in the car with Adrian, Moon and me, it doesn't take her five minutes to drift off to sleep, leaning on Mirabelle's shoulder. Belle has a content smile on her face as she texts on her phone, Adrian is the exact opposite.
I fear he regrets his decision but he fears it more and I understand, sadly I can't go on this journey with him again. He will have to win Cami back without my help or anyone's. I hope my wild flower and I won't have this much drama when we meet again. Her father promised me two more years and she's mine, I'm a patient man, I will wait patiently for her, for her love because she's worth it.
