Chapter 15- rosemary, peppermint, oranges–2
She had this crazed look in her eyes.
“Cammy” I called softly, just as I had done when I was in her pack, wooing her to be my mate after her mate was brutally taken from this earth, a few hours before I met her. “look, I care for you” I didn’t miss the way her eyes paled a bit when I said care instead of love. “but my wolf is still trying to get the best of me, I promise this would not happen again.”
“and what would become of her?”
“you don’t need to concern yourself with that, she is bound to me, but I have no obligation towards her, I would not be affected.”
I had to shove my wolf to the deepest parts of my consciousness so he wouldn’t take over my body again. I felt this slight feeling of guilt as I said what I said, but at the end of the day, Camille was the one that was best for me. Whether or not my wolf liked that. 1
“Are you sure” she looked at me, feeling vulnerable. I pitied her. She had no choice but to look at me since she had no mate, while my heart, despite how much I tried to stop it, was beating for another. C

Lucia’s p.o.V
Everything started to slow down before it finally stopped. Everything was dark, but I could still hear the voices surrounding me. I could hear all the whispers, the pity, everything.
I tried to open my eyes, tried to move, but I couldn’t seen to do any of that.
“It’s pointless to do that here” I looked around again, but of course, I was met with a black surrounding.
“You see with your mind in here” I tried as much as possible to understand what exactly
that meant.
I felt that presence suddenly, it was hard to explain. It was a long time since I felt it.

“I know you,” I said, it felt like I wasn’t moving my mouth, but at the same time, I was.
I snapped my eyes open. There, in front of me was .. I blinked rapidly to steady my vision.
My nose was, for a moment sharper. It was him, the mystery man, I could smell him more clearly, he smelled of rosemary, peppermint, and orange. It was a perfect blend, something could not get enough of. I took in a deep breath, wanting to be closer to take it in. He realized that I had woken up because he stopped what he was doing looking up at me. Although I couldn’t see much. He had a black hood covering up most features of his face. I held him, just before he was able to pull away.
“Who are you.” My voice came out weak, tired, and almost lifeless.
“Get some rest.” My eyes widened. I remembered that voice. It was the guard from earlier.
“Are you…. have you been..” my mind was running a thousand miles per minute. “pack guard?” I looked at him, reaching to remove his hoodie. He was faster, walking out the door faster than I could touch him. It didn’t seem natural, it was almost like… I shook my head. I was definitely stuck on those meds I had been given earlier to bring down the pain. There was no way.
I rushed out to see if what I had seen was actually real. I opened the door, only to be met with an empty hallway..
“You’re out of bed” a pack doctor, one of the oldest said to me. He looked to be no younger than 74.
“I just…” he looked like someone I couldn’t trust, so I kept my mouth shut. “yes, I was feeling better.” He smiled telling me that I was free to go. I nodded leaving immediately. If there was someone who would know the answers or wouldn’t rat me out, I knew it was Ma’am Marie. She knew a thing or two about weird stuff like what was going on with me.
I walked to her room, looking over my shoulders at every given point. I somehow knew what I was going through was not normal.

I walked into her space in the pack house, neat and tidy as always. “Mum?” I called softly, seeing her relax in the chair.

She looked up, looking at me with a smile before it turned into rage as she chased me with her slippers.
“I told you! Tell me when you’re leaving the pack!” Smack “Do you know how” Smack “worried I was!” those were definitely going to leave some marks behind.
“you don’t even know half of it!”
After a while, she calmed down. I didn’t have it in me to tell her where I really was, I knew she was going to break down so I kept it in.
“Ma, I met a guy” I saw how her eyes brightened, so I continued. “He .. I..” she looked at me, waiting patiently for me to tell her. “but I haven’t met him”
“Lucia, you have to make a bit of sense for me to understand you”
I took in a deep breath before exhaling. “there is this guy, I don’t think he’s from the pack. His scent marks me from time to time, tonight, I saw him again, and.. he just disappeared. Mum I know I’m not crazy. I swear he was there, but then he wasn’t. He just” She used her hand to cover my mouth immediately, stopping any other thing from
coming out as her face filled with horror.
