Broken and Angry

　　Ethan went back home. He was devastated. His mind kept going from place to place but none had Camilla. He had lost her.

　　"Ethan, what is this I am seeing on the media?" Peter asked him the moment he got to the house.

　　Ethan's heart was very fragile at this point. He didn't know what else to do. Camilla was everything to him now before he even got a chance to be with her she just disappeared.

　　Now Jessie was claiming to be pregnant. How did she even become pregnant? It made no sense! He needed to calm his head.

　　Ethan slowly started making his way to his room. His wolf felt heavy in his body and he wanted nothing but to just sleep and wake up to find everything back to normal. It was a heavy wish to make but it was worth a shot.

　　"I am talking to you, what's going on?" Peter insisted seeing how Ethan was not paying him any attention. Peter went after him. They got to the room and Peter closed the door behind him.

　　Ethan went to the bed and sat down. He dropped his head between his hands and that was when his pained voice left his dry throat.

　　"I don't know Peter! I just don't know! Everything was going perfectly well then all of a sudden it just turned upside down!" He cried out.

　　Peter stood with his arms folded as he thought things through. "I was with Lisa when we saw the video on the media. Why would Jessie go to these lengths?" Peter asked more to himself than to Ethan.

　　Ethan just shook his head. He was tired. His heart was breaking and his wolf was sick. He needed his mate.

　　"We should beat that girl to a pulp and probably get her tongue out of her mouth! She is too much trouble! How can we continue allowing her to"

　　"She is pregnant..." Ethan whispered and Peter stopped talking.

　　"What?" He asked in shock. "What do you mean she is pregnant? Who impregnated her? Why is it even any of our business if she is?"

　　Ethan laid flat on the bed and placed his hands on his chest. "I don't know what to think, Peter. I just don't know..."

　　Peter frowned and came to seat by his side. "Did you have sex with her?" He asked Ethan.

　　Ethan heaved a deep sigh before answering. "Ages ago. Yes, but I can't even bring my brain to think of a time frame..."

　　Peter narrowed his eyes. "Look this is very simple. You met Camilla on your birthday. Obviously, if anything happened between you and Jessie it would have been around or before that time..."

　　Ethan turned his eyes to Peter and watched him speak. "What are you insinuating?"

　　"Your birthday was months ago. How come we never knew she was pregnant until now?" Peter asked him.

　　Ethan heaved another deep sigh.

　　"Did it even matter?" He whispered returning his eyes to the ceiling. He was tired of everything at this point. He and his wolf just wanted to curl up into a ball on his bed to think about his life and nothing more.

　　"We just found out that Jessie lied. She is lying and you are not responsible for whatever pregnancy she might have!" Peter spat out. He hated the way Ethan was acting. It made his brain twitch in rage. They should be marching down to Jessie's house requesting for her head and not sleep in here and sulk like women!

　　"Will this discovery bring back Camilla?" He finally asked as he closed his eyes.

　　"Ethan! Camilla is going to come back, Lisa is going to make sure of that. All you have to do is pull yourself together and start punishing Jessie!" Peter barked.

　　Ethan waved his hands tiredly. "There is no point in punishing her. She has gotten the result she wanted..." He whispered weakly.

　　Peter hissed, face palming himself. "Look, I will let you rest but I am not going to let Jessie off easily! She will pay for this mess at her own price!" Peter said walking out of the room.

　　Ethan remained on the bed with his eyes closed. What was the point of making so much noise if he couldn't get his mate back?

　　Then again even if he got her back, she was truly a pickpocket. Everything Jessie said had some truth in it that was why it was hurting so much. They say the truth hurts more and Ethan finally knew why.

　　He didn't know when he had actually slipped into sleep, but the next time he flipped his eyes open, his curtains were wide open. A bright ray of light streamed in on his face.

　　He covered his face with the back of his hand and he got up moving to close it. But as he got to the window, his dead heart sprung to life. There in the middle of his estate, Camilla was packing her belongings into a taxi's boot.

　　His legs developed a mind of their own and he found himself running to the front doors. He ran into Camilla as she was lifting the last of her bags out of the estate.

　　"Camilla! Wait!" He begged to hold on to her hands.

　　Camila shook her head and bit on her bottom lip. "Ethan, let me go. Please," she whispered.

　　"Camilla don't do this to me. Please, what would I do without you?" He said and she turned to glare at him.

　　"You will continue to survive just as you have. Listen, the whole world thinks I am some gold digger after your wealth and that is pretty cheap in my opinion. I have to leave here!" She spat out, her voice shaking with anger.

　　This in turn made Ethan angry. He let go of her hands and walked to the driver of the taxi.

　　"Take everything out of the car and leave." He growled.

　　The taxi driver gave one look at him and nodded. He started complying and Camilla got mad at him.

　　"What do you think you are doing?" She asked the driver. "Put my belongings back into the car!"

　　Ethan was tempted to tell her they weren't her belongings and they were probably things she stole from him but kept quiet and only watched like the predator he was.

　　Camilla dared to play the innocent victim when she knew deep down in her heart that she was truly a thief!

　　Ethan felt his wolf turn around in anger at the thoughts he was thinking about their mate but he had no other choice. It was true. The goddess had given him the worst of the pack. She gave him a pickpocket as a Luna, what was he supposed to do? Treat her like some queen?

　　No, he would keep her in the estate and she would have nowhere else to go until she confessed her deeds. The sooner he confessed the faster he would clear her name to the public but Camilla was being stubborn.

　　"Ethan, what do you think you are doing?" She asked him.

　　"What I should have done, a long time ago. You are not leaving this place!" He blurted and Camilla's eyes almost fell out of their sockets.

　　"You want to keep me here as a prisoner?" She asked sternly.

　　It broke Ethan's heart that he was bringing her pain but it was for her own good that he did it.

　　"Camilla, of course, I am not. You are free to leave, as soon as you pay for your hospital bill and everything you have eaten and drank in this house!" He said slowly and she narrowed her eyes in confusion.

　　He was the same person begging her to stat a while ago. How did it end up like this?

　　How did they get to this stage?

　　"Ethan what are you saying? How do I pay you back? I thought you said-" she started to say but he cut her off.

　　"What did I say? That you could leave whenever you wanted? Camilla, you claim you want the world to realize you are no beggar. You want them to know you are not a thief, which is a very good thing but you will have to clear your bills first! That is the only way your name can be cleared, if you look at it in another way, I am only trying to help you here... "

　　Ethan finished his speech and walked back to the house. His wolf was hitting him and his heart was trembling in pain. But he fisted his hands and swallowed his pain.

　　It was for the best he had to do it if he wanted his mate to finally quit her bad behaviors. She was going to be the Luna of his pack, he wouldn't want anyone to challenge him based on her activities. He had to find a way to clear it out.

　　"Ethan, what was that about?" Peter attacked him with questions as soon as he got to his room. It was like, his beta had been waiting for him all along.

　　"I do not have the strength to start explaining the situation to you. If you have heard or seen it, then it is exactly as you saw it. She would pay for everything before leaving. You make of that," Ethan instructed.

　　Peter was shocked. Ethan did not understand. Camilla had nothing. She couldn't pay for what she owned. Asking her to pay was like sending her to do even more theft.

　　"I hope you know what you are doing..." Peter whispered as he shook his head. This was not going to end well. Lisa had explained everything to him and he knew this thing Ethan was trying to do was not going to end well.

　　"I know what I am doing, Peter. You just do your job!" Ethan replied.
