• The Alpha's Guardian   Chapter 28

  Charlotte Sanguinite POV:I don’t like depending on others or leaning on people for support. It’s a habit formed out of necessity. But Robert is like a force of nature, taking charge of the entire situation, taking care of me.It’s been a long time since someone took care of me, and I don’t know what to do about it.My desire to push Robert away keeps getting weaker and weaker as he barges his way into my life like a bulldozer, crushing the shields I erected around me for my own self-preservation. Perhaps the breaking point for me was when he held me in his arms, telling me that if anything had happened to me, he would have looked after Mano.It’s foolish, but those words pierced my heart, and now I can’t look at him the same way.It frightens me how safe I find his arms and how reassuring his presence is. I know I’m lashing out at him at the moment, and it&rsquo

  Robert Montgomery POV:Adam narrows his eyes at me. “Should I take that as a warning?”My lips curve humorlessly. “In our world, Charlotte is as weak as a human. Perhaps even weaker. I forced my way into her life. And I plan to stay. She’s mine now.”My friend looks at me thoughtfully. “You’ve got it quite bad, don’t you?”When I don’t bother answering him, he sighs. “I trust you, Robert. And I trust your judgment. Your girl has nothing to fear from me or my pack. Besides, Cynthia was pretty worried about you, so she’s going to be relieved things have worked out. However, I would advise you not to let your guard down too quickly.”I nod. He’s not wrong. I cannot let myself make eve

  Robert Montgomery POV:The look of shock and guilt on Charlotte’s face confirms my suspicion.Beruth Sanguinite may have erased Charlotte from his clan’s history, but he couldn’t erase her from the memories of the people who once knew her. Harry, as my assistant, was tasked with looking up Charlotte’s past. He couldn’t find anything at first, but talking to a few vampires with whom the pack is still on somewhat decent terms revealed a lot.Charlotte Beaumont was once Charlotte Sanguinite, the oldest daughter of one of the most notorious vampire clan leaders. When Harry brought me that information this evening, I felt a variety of emotions: shock, betrayal, hurt, and anger.It was hard to reconcile the gentle Charlotte with the greedy, ambitious,

  Charlotte Sanguinite POV:It’s the wetness of my cheek that makes me stir.Groaning, I opened my eyes and saw Robert’s face. For a brief moment, I felt confused and dizzy. And then, I register the pain. Along with the pain come the memories of what happened.I tried to sit up, but Robert held me down. “Easy. Not yet. You’re in no condition to move.”“I have to—I have to see the damage.”“Don’t worry about it.” He strokes my hair. “I’ve taken care of it." You need to rest.”“Arabella?”“Gone. "I didn’t kill her.” Robert’s eyes harden as he tells me that. I let out a sigh of relief, and he gave me a strange look. “She wa

  Charlotte Sanguinite POV:“You,” I breathe, rooted in place out of fear and shock.The last time I saw Arabella, she was sneering at me, a kind of viciousness in her eyes that no ten-year-old should have. When it came to her appearance, Arabella inherited our father’s dark looks, her skin a beautiful olive shade, her eyes a sharp green, and her hair black as a raven’s, falling to her waistline like a waterfall. As a child, she was cute, but as an adult, she’s gorgeous. Her cheekbones are sharp, her eyes almost catlike. She has lost all her chubbiness, her figure slims like a model’s.Compared to her, I look like a frumpy maid, with my hair in disarray, my curvy figure, and the bags under my eyes.I see the way my sister looks at me, her ey

  Charlotte Sanguinite POV:“And you said…?”“I said no.” I blinked several times. “He and I, we’re from very different worlds. It’s not going to work.”Clearing my throat, I began walking back to the cupcake display, my heartbeat unsteady. Jazz trails after me. “So what if he’s some crazy rich guy? He’s clearly head over heels for you! That’s gotta count for something.”I opened the display and started setting up the cupcakes. “I want a simple, peaceful life, Jazz. Robert Montgomery is the furthest thing from that kind of person.”“He seems peaceful enough.” Jazz leans over the glass display case, watching me. “Besides, if a man looked at me like he was just looking at you,
