Chapter10
The announcement of our marriage sent the media into a whirlwind of speculation. Every outlet clamored to reveal the enigmatic Luna Elena’s true identity. Photos from the island were plastered across screens, with headlines endlessly questioning: Is Luna Elena really Luna Camille?
But Alpha Xavien had meticulously planned everything, ensuring no evidence would surface.
That didn’t deter Alpha Thomas, though.
Word quickly spread about him frantically mobilizing his men, issuing orders to track me down. People saw him pacing outside his office, barking at his staff, his desperation evident in every chaotic gesture. Yet I

remained unconcerned; Alpha Xavien had already prepared for this scenario.
One evening, as Alpha Xavien and I sat on the balcony gazing out at the endless ocean, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen ⚫ and smirked. “Well, well. Speak of the devil.”
“Who is it?” I asked, already suspecting the
answer.
“It’s Alpha Thomas,” he replied, putting the call on speaker.
Alpha Xavien answered with his usual composed confidence. “Hello?”
“What the hell are you doing with my Luna?” Alpha Thomas’s voice was sharp, desperate, and brimming with rage.
Unruffled, Alpha Xavien leaned back in his

chair. “I’m afraid you’re mistaken. My Luna is Elena Bell, and Luna Camille is dead.”
“She’s not dead!” Alpha Thomas shouted. “I know it’s her. Don’t play games with me, Alpha Xavien. I’ll find her.”
Alpha Xavien raised an amused eyebrow at me, silently saying, Your move.
I leaned in closer to the phone, my smile icy. Through the speaker, Alpha Thomas’s tone shifted to one of pleading. “Camille, if you’re listening–please, listen to me. Alpha Xavien isn’t who you think he is. He’s not the right choice for you. I know I messed up, but I’ll make it right. Just come back to me.”
His words, dripping with desperation, were almost pitiful.
“Alpha Thomas,” I said, my voice steady and

sharp, “you’re pathetic. And for the record, I’m not Luna Camille. I’m Elena Bell. Your
mate is dead.”
Before he could respond, I hung up and tossed the phone onto the table.
Alpha Xavien chuckled, shaking his head. “That was cold.”
“He deserves worse, I said simply, reclining in my chair.
A few days later, Alpha Xavien received an invitation to a high–profile auction. It was no ordinary event; this was where the elite gathered, including figures like Audrey and, inevitably, Alpha Thomas.
I didn’t hesitate. “Let’s go,” I said.
Alpha Xavien raised an eyebrow. “You sure?”

I smiled. “It’s time to show them we’re not hiding.”
After our island honeymoon, we returned to Alpha Xavien’s estate. The sprawling
- mansion was as grand as I had imagined, with its marble floors, towering ceilings, and walls adorned with priceless art. But it was the smaller details that captured my attention as we walked through the front doors–the fresh flowers on the dining table, the scent of my favorite candle drifting through the air, and a cozy nook in the corner that seemed crafted just for me.
Alpha Xavien had thought of everything.
“You’ve been busy,” I remarked, raising an eyebrow.
“I wanted it to feel like home,” he said

Alpha Xavien shook his head, a faint smilele playing at his lips. “It’s not fake.”
- “Alpha Xavien…” I began, but he cut me off.
“Do you know why I offered to help you?” he asked, leaning in closer.
I remained silent, my heart pounding.
“Because I’ve been in love with you for years. Since college,” he confessed, his tone soft yet sure.
“What?” My voice came out as a whisper.
“You didn’t notice me back then. You were too busy with Alpha Gilbert. But I noticed you, Camille. Every little thing. And when I

saw you again, I knew I couldn’t let you go this time.”
I stared at him, trying to absorb his words.
He grinned, leaning back in his chair. “Now ⚫ that you’re mine, there’s no way I’m letting
you go.”
Alpha Xavien’s Pov:
The first time I saw Camille Peters, she entered the library as if she owned the place. I was seated in the back corner, pretending to study while my mind wandered elsewhere. Then she walked in, laughing softly at something her friend said. She possessed an energy-a light–that made everything else fade away.
