Esmond's POV
I didn't expect Camellia to still hold a grudge even after I'd humbled myself like this.
My wolf growled in protest.
I sneered in my mind, responding, "This is exactly why I'm willing to be with Hazel. A rogue like her would never dare defy me."
"Our mate is a noble Alpha, not some dirty, lowly—"
I cut off my wolf's voice before it could finish.
It made me feel like we were two separate entities, not one. That feeling irritated me.
Back at the villa, I got a call from Jason.
"Esmond, check Twitter's trending topics."
Frowning slightly, I opened Twitter.
The top trending topic was a video of Elvira's father kneeling before Camellia.
The angle of the video was deliberately chosen to show Connor's helpless expression. The comments were filled with hate for Camellia.
