Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by his Brother

I wasn’t entirely sure of the specifics, but whatever had happened between them wasn’t exactly the kind of thing I wanted to dig into right now. All I wanted was for this to go smoothly and for Camilla not to start any unnecessary drama.

Axel gave a polite smile and a small nod toward my annoying sister. "Hello."

Camilla clasped her hands under her chin, eyes growing dreamy as she stepped closer to him. "Well, I didn’t expect to see you in our villa."

Axel raised an eyebrow, looking genuinely confused as he looked from me to her. "Perdón, who are you?"

Camilla didn’t hesitate for a second. "It’s me, Camilla. Don’t you remember me, Axel?" she asked, putting on her best pouty face, making me feel sick in the stomach with whatever game she was playing.

Seeing her acting all giddy around Axel was literally making wrinkled lines appear on my forehead. Álvaro was a man of the girls... finally, having someone as private as Axel speak to me was starting to feel good.

It felt like he was mine to crush on. Like desperate girls like Camilla were supposed to steer clear.

"We used to be so close when we were kids. I mean, you did spend a lot of time with Rosa, but I was there too." Camilla screeched.

Axel blinked, but his mouth curved into an ’O’. "Of course, I remember you, Camilla. You’re all grown up now."

His eyes swept Camilla up and down with interest, making my stomach tighten.

Tch.
