CHARLENE'S POVXavier looked up, showing his eyes filled with sorrow. "The only memory that he has is..." My mouth formed into a line. My heart clenched upon hearing these words. It couldn’t be… "What are you saying, Xavier? Is the Alpha trying to trick me?" I shouted, clenching my fists. "No, I am talking the truth, Charlene. I can't lie," Xavier replied, taking a step forward towards me. His gaze locked into mine with a sincere and determined look. "If I may be honest, the Alpha's memories aren't really the only ones that he has. The ones that are important to him..." "No!" A tear fell from my eye, followed by a series of coughs and wheezes until I collapsed. I was too weak to stay standing on my feet anymore, so I sank onto my knees in order to prevent myself from falling. I was breathing heavily while Xavier rushed to my side. "Charlene! What happened to you? Can you hear me?" Before I could respond, a sharp pain hit me from above, which felt like a knife had just been sta
CHARLENE'S POVHis hair was ruffled, making it appear even messier than usual. His eyes were slightly droopy with tiredness. His usually elegant appearance was replaced with a disheveled appearance. And yet, despite how different he looked from the previous day, he still managed to capture my attention, leaving me in awe and captivated by his beauty. For a brief moment, I forgot everything that had happened earlier in the morning. However, when I noticed his presence, Xavier's features contorted into anger, almost like those of an animal whose prey had caught its attention. As I looked back and forth between Xavier's enraged expression and his fuming body, I noticed how his shirt had become damp due to sweat. Then it dawned on me. Xavier wasn't upset with me. He was mad because I was lying to him again. He was frustrated because I wouldn't allow him to stay beside me and help me through the danger that we were facing. Just when I thought that my fate would end there, Xavier spoke,
CHARLENE'S POVOr maybe they were just out to hunt other werewolves. It could have been because they found out that werewolves exist, and the threat they posed was too much to handle for their pack. It was also possible that someone threatened the safety of the pack. They could even be part of the enemy pack… I shivered involuntarily. Just thinking about it makes me nervous. "Anyway, what exactly did you want to ask me?" I repeated Xavier's question. In return, he replied in his usual calm voice, "About this…" He moved his left arm towards my waist. He gently caressed my stomach with his palm. I closed my eyes. As I focused on the sensations coming from Xavier's touch, I realized that I enjoyed it. My breathing became shallow and my heart began beating faster.Why was this happening? I thought to myself. The feeling of warmth spread throughout my body. In response, I let out a soft gasp. A moan of pleasure escaped my lips. I couldn't believe that I was currently experiencing thes
CHARLENE'S POV"This isn't you, Charlene. This isn't the woman who left. You're stronger than this!" His tone was determined, which made me frown slightly. I looked into his eyes and smiled bitterly. "Do you honestly believe that?" My voice was laced with bitterness. "Yes, I do. Everything will be fine soon. Just hang in there, okay?" Xavier said as he leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on my forehead. His hand traveled upwards to cup my face and he leaned his forehead against mine. A small smile played on his lips and he pressed it lightly against mine. "The pain will eventually fade away. Don't give up hope." His deep green eyes stared deep into mine, causing my heart rate to increase rapidly. I nodded my head slightly, agreeing with him. Even so, I couldn't ignore the fear that was growing within me. I'm terrified of losing everything. I'm terrified of losing the love of my life, which I believed to be real, even if I was scared. After a few moments, he reluctantly broke awa
CHARLENE'S POVThat's probably why my pulse was increasing rapidly. As my mind raced in endless circles, trying to understand the situation, the person on the couch noticed me looking at him through the windows of my house and turned to look at me. His emerald eyes widened when he saw me, and his face instantly contorted into a shocked expression. He stood and began running towards the front gate of my estate. I panicked and immediately ran to my closet to grab my favorite silver dagger and a stake that had come with the house. I then dashed after the man that was now disappearing behind my front gate. Once I reached my driveway and ran inside, I immediately saw the person leaning against the fence. I raised my stake above my head, prepared to attack. "Stop right there, stranger!" I barked. The man whipped around quickly and his green eyes fell on me, widening in disbelief. Before I could say anything else, he darted past me in a flash and I followed, shouting angrily at him to tu
CHARLENE'S POV"Where is he?" I asked hurriedly. "Why hasn't anyone found him yet?" I added anxiously. "Your mate is still in the hospital. It's been three days. We tried calling him to see how he was doing, but there was no response," the male replied calmly. "How long will it take for the doctors to fix him?" I asked hopefully. The male shrugged. "A while." "What do you mean 'a while'? Is he going to die?" I cried. "Calm down, Charlene. He will be okay," the male said, holding me back. "How do you know that?" I demanded. "You don't know that, Charlene. Your mate isn't strong enough to defeat someone who has the power to manipulate gravity and time to their will," he responded. I hesitated. "If he is powerful enough to fight that, then maybe he won't die..." I murmured. "You still don't believe us, do you?" the male said in exasperation. "Yes. Of course I do! He would never let anything bad happen to me. And I know I can always count on him to help me get out of difficult s
CHARLENE'S POVI didn't dare to breathe as I waited nervously for one of the men to enter the room. Just when I thought that my heart was going to stop beating, the wooden door swung open, revealing the third guy from earlier. He was holding a tray with four bowls on it. He carefully set the tray down on the floor next to the bed. "Hey Charlene, are you feeling any better now?" He greeted me cheerfully. I looked up at him warily. What is happening? I wondered. He walked closer and extended a bowl towards me. "Here, eat some breakfast, sweetheart," he urged. Still hesitant, I grabbed the bowl with shaking hands and raised it to my lips. As I began to drink, I realized that the liquid was warm, and that I hadn't eaten anything all day. I gulped down half of the bowl before setting it down. The second man had returned with another bowl. I watched warily as he poured water into it until a few drops dripped down to land on the floor. He put that down as well. "You seem a bit nervous.
CHARLENE'S POVA tall, dark haired girl smiled at me. She sat down beside me on a bench near the edge of a small lake. "Are you feeling better now?" she asked softly. I nodded slowly, looking down at my lap. "What's wrong?" She reached over and brushed away some stray hairs that framed my face. Her fingertips caressed my cheek, leaving goosebumps in their wake. "Who are you? Why are you here?" Her eyes flashed with anger. Suddenly her hand shot out, grabbing my wrist so forcefully that my entire arm was lifted off the ground. She twisted my arm painfully before slamming me hard against the stone bench behind us. "How dare you question our presence?" "Let go of me!" I cried out in pain as my elbow hit the bench seat. With a growl, she pushed me again, causing me to stumble. I grabbed onto the bench tightly. She snarled angrily, leaning forward until she almost touched my face. "Do you think you're above us just because you were–" Tears streamed down my face and blurred my visio
