“Alpha is getting married with Miss Sophia. It’s going to be a grand ceremony. We have to start early so that we can prepare everything in eight days.”.“Married?.Charlotte wasn’t able to listen beyond it. The crystal dream castle she created came crushing to the ground. It was broken by a simple touch of the outsider, not enduring the first storm.Her hunger vanished, she excused herself and went to the Pack’s forest area. It was after training time, so woods were quite peaceful. Charlotte found a hidden spot and let her emotions flow.Was she feeling bamboozled?Nope!Dishearted?Nope!She wasn’t even complaining!Charlotte was just depressed with the sudden blow of reality.The rainfall of her love ended so soon and the Sun of nemesis was shinning brightly, knocking some sense in her head.“What are you thinking, Charlotte? A slut can’t be a wife. It was bound to happen one day. Sooner, the better.”But still she cried whole day, mourning for her broken heart.Women!Jealous, foo
“Why didn’t you knock, little one? What’s with the 'you were busy' excuse?”Charlotte was standing heads down like a criminal, whereas Alpha was pacing back and forth in his room. He was angry because an omega picked up that basket before he could get it and threw it in the dustbin.Liam was the source of this news and now even after punishing that unlucky cleaner, Alpha was scolding Charlotte,“Don’t you know the basic rules to give someone a present? Can’t you just wait outside if you were too scared to disturb my work?Beep!”Well, rest of the Alpha’s words were censored as Charlotte didn’t know the meaning of those curses.Seeing him boiling with fury, she tried to subside the flames,“It was nothing special, Alpha. There were just wild flowers which would wither after sometime. The most significant thing was my heartfelt wishing and you got them, it’s enough.”Charlotte guessed that it wasn’t a good reason as Alpha literally squeezed her shoulders.“It’s important. I want my prese
Nine Years later.“Raise your hands for our princess Star, who has turned eighteen tonight.”Everyone in the bar cheered for Star, dancing on the famous dance number. Charlotte a.k.a Star was in the middle of boys, a candle surrounded by the fire flies, enjoying her heart out.Her girl's gang was prying on handsome guys in the bar, calling dibs.“The blue one is mine, don’t stare at him.”“What?”Angie cried out,“All the good ones are already around Star, Maggie. I am not stepping back for this package of hotness.”She enviously looked at Charlotte who was moving with the rhythm of the music, sashaying her lips like a vixen. Boys were fighting for her attention but she excused herself,“Tonight is my birthday, I have to stay with my friends.”She came back to her bestie and made an announcement,“Thanks for celebrating my birthday! All drinks are on me.”…After a busy day, Charlotte was working in her dorm room while her roommate Angie was fast asleep. In her nine years stay in the h
Charlotte almost forgot about the doctor’s trip in a week, even threw his card in trash bin. Her manager called Professor Asher that they had arranged a panel of top psychologists for her, there wasn’t any need to consult a local doctor.Out of the blue, Ava sent an email stating,“Call me!”As a precaution, Charlotte was used to change her contact information every year except that email address. In the first year of her escape, Ava’s family was investigated too. So Charlotte almost disconnected from her. Now, this email worried her but there was another problem demanding her attention.It was about her friend Angie, who was becoming habitual of asking for money. Like today,“Star, can I get a hundred thousand dollars please. I swear I will return them soon.”Charlotte knew that this “soon” would never come as her total debt was around ten hundred thousand dollars now. It wasn’t a big amount for her but why did an orphan like Angie needed so much money? This was beyond her logic.Thin
“If that someone can offer a ride to hostel, then later can be discussed in a nice café.”Charlotte turned to face ever smiling Daniel whose polite face had fairly amused expressions.“You know how to bargain, Good!”He crossed his arms and gestured towards his car in the parking lot.“My services outside the hostel are not free. I will charge extra for ride.”To call off this nonsense argument, Charlotte accepted his requirements.“Deal!”Then she picked up Angie and laid her on the back seat with her head in her lap.“For your general knowledge, I am not your personal driver. Move!”Charlotte reluctantly came to the front seat and finally they left from that barbaric space. Daniel was silent but Charlotte still wanted to get another favor,“I have a request, doctor. Please don’t report this to the administration office; otherwise, her career will end.”“Why would I do that?”Daniel was clearly amazed!“I found a student drunk and abused in city’s disrupted area. It’s my duty to infor
“Why are you so convinced that I am a heart broken cry baby?”Charlotte was now exasperated by her guest who was trying to be personal with her. After all, there is some privacy entitled for everyone and Vampires, they are known to keep their secrets till death. This is the reason behind their secure way to survive long term.“I have a hypothesis to support my theory.”Daniel was super energetic at once. He placed his fork back in the plate as his competitive nature kicked in for a face-off,“First, you are single, no girl friend or boy friend. Secondly, you don’t have any male friends. No one ever saw you in any official banquet with your Uncle or friends. This is the severe case of social anxiety and heart break, Star. You are at verge of boycotting all men.”Charlotte was wide eyed at with all his research,“Have someone ever told you that you are quite meddlesome?”“Oh! That comes with my job package. It's free.”He spoke with his eyes twinkling and face beaming with light. Charlo
Charlotte followed him to the edge of the cliff and all of a sudden, he shouted,“I hate myself!”Charlotte took a deep breath, inhaling the purity of nature.“That’s why we came all the way long here. What a great place to complain about life!”Daniel walked back to her side, with a wide grin to support his opinion,“This is my emotional outlet. I used to come here whenever I am upset. I believe that if you speak out your reservations and wish for the best, then the Universe will also help you in solving your problems.”“Stupid human ideology!”Charlotte cursed him in her heart, who can know more than her about double standards of his society. She craned her neck, feigning to have interest in his idiocy,“Was it useful for you? I mean you got help from the Universe, right?”Daniel looked down at her, giving that he was almost seven inches taller than her.“Yes, it went well. I passed my final exams with flying colors, got a job and found a courage to see my love with her husband. I d
Even it was late at night, they still got a lift from a kind couple. Charlotte was troubled when Daniel told them his address. But it was obvious that she can’t go back to the hostel, it will be scandalous enough to ruin her name.In one meeting, she heard about his family and got a chance to meet them too. What a coincidence!Daniel’s mother, Julia, welcomed them. She was also confused that why his decent son who was carrying a girl, came home at this hour.“Mom, Star is injured! Please give me the first aid box.”He made her sit on a couch, crouching down to apply medicine.“It will sting a little. Bear it for a while.”Charlotte was looking at this gentle man who was treating her like a fragile flower. After her father’s death, Daniel was the one to make her feel special like this. Even in humans, this kind of care was rare.She clearly felt the bond of trust growing stronger between them.Charlotte stayed in Mrs. Webber’s room, who updated her with their whole background.“Daniel’
