CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VWe all sat in silence while Greg sketched. Logan made tea for me while we waited. Adamaris muttered something about how chivalry is dead since Logan didn’t make one for her too. This led Logan to mutter about how witches should get their own mates to do things for them.They kept on trading back and forth quips between themselves until Greg muttered something about how he was close to stabbing his ears with his pencil. I giggled and they both shot me looks as if I had betrayed them.A little over half an hour later, Greg was done with the sketch and when I saw it, I was taken aback by how life like it looked. He got every single feature of her perfectly, from the slight crookedness of her nose to the fullness of her lips and even down to the meanness of her smirk.After staring at it for a while, I passed it on to Adamaris. She took one look at it and cursed.“Do you know her?” I asked and she nodded. “She used to be in my coven,” she said slowly as she fold
The next twenty four hours after Adamaris got rid of the brand were entirely uneventful. I guess that should have been my clue that it was the calm before the storm.The day actually started out like any normal day. I woke up with Logan bringing me breakfast in bed, then I lay back while he ran his fingers in circles on my baby bump. I looked up at him and he gave me a small smile but his fingers never slowed.“Are we going to stay here all day?” I asked and he raised a brow. “Shouldn’t you be happy that you have a day off from all the drama?”“I am happy,” I admitted, “I was just curious as to why we haven’t moved yet.” “We don’t have anywhere to go for now,” he explained, “Do you remember the changes you approved for the school music department?” I nodded, “Well they’ve been implemented and today is the grand unveiling.”“I totally forgot about that.” “I told them to go ahead with it while you were,” he trailed off, “While you were gone.”He seemed to close off
THIRD PERSON’S P.O.VCharlotte was mingling with the guests with a smile on her face. She had the part of being Luna down to a pat, she was sweet, respectful and paid attention to every little detail.Logan stayed behind her to give her space to talk to the people, but also close enough that he always had her in his sight. He was on edge and for good reason too; they hadn’t heard from the witch in a few days and that probably meant she was waiting for a good time to strike.A little girl walked up to Charlotte and softly tugged at the hem of her hoodie. Charlotte turned her attention to the girl with a smile on her face. She crouched down so she was at eye level with her.“Can I help you?” she asked and the girl nodded. “I was wondering how it feels to be pregnant.” Charlotte was taken aback by the question.“I don’t know; I’ll let you know when I am pregnant.”She started to rise but the girl held onto her arm with a grip that seemed too strong for a girl who looked no older
CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V Adamaris and the council were able to break the bond between me and Esmeralda before finally executing her and destroying the talisman. We held Samantha’s burial the next day. It felt wrong to hold it until after Esmeralda was dead. It was so difficult for me to stand next to her body and act like it wasn’t my fault she was dead. Logan assured me no one felt that way, but I felt that way. What made it a lot harder was having to explain to Amelia that her mum was going away. She wasn’t even two yet, she didn’t understand the concept of death, and she just stayed in my arms and kept on screaming the word ‘mummy’ over and over again. Logan tried to take her away from me but she refused to let anyone else hold her. Amelia’s things were moved into our house the day after the funeral. She was a frolicky baby with a terrible sleep schedule. I attributed that to the fact that she missed her mum. Considering each time she woke up, she would ask for her mother. A lot of pe
CHARLOTTE'S P.O.V“Father,” Liana said and he briefly glanced at her, “There was an argument in town today and I was able to calmly resolve it and there were no casualties at all.”Liana is everyone’s definition of perfect with her high cheekbones and thin lips, perfectly slim body and of average height at 5’4 compared to my towering 5’9. Her slicked jet black hair stopped right above her shoulders and her eyes were a vile shade of green; almost like poison. “At least you won’t be a totally useless Luna in future.” He said with a glance at Carmen and I saw her face fall.I felt my heart clench in pity for Liana. She has tried so hard to get my father’s attention but he completely disregards her and as if she read my mind her eyes snapped up to mine and narrowed.“Father did you know that
“I’m sorry, what did you say?”I looked around for the source of the voice and when I saw Carmen and Liana staring at me in shock and disbelief I knew it came from me.“Are you suddenly hard of hearing now Charlotte?” father asked, “I said that you will marry Alpha Hunter, it has been arranged and decided. The party will be used to announce your engagement.” “But father why didn’t Alpha Hunter want me?” Liana asked.“Because you’re a useless, ugly fool who talks way too much,” he spat and she whimpered slightly, “How am I supposed to know why he wants Charlotte? I don’t care why he wants her but he can have her as long as I get what I want in return.” “He won’t have me.” I said shocking myself and everyone else. “He
I woke up with a splitting headache and I groaned into my pillow. My head literally feels like someone is doing construction work inside it. There is a lot of pulsing and pounding that I don’t even know how I am going to get through the day.I forced myself out of bed and into the bathroom and I saw a huge bruise at the side of my head where father hit me with the pillow.I quickly took a bath and put on a simple pair of sweats and a hoodie and tied my hair into a high ponytail knowing it would annoy father to have my bruise out in the open.I tried to open my door but remembered that father ordered for it to be locked so I sat cross legged on my bed while I waited for someone to open it for breakfast.About five minutes later my door opened and I saw Liana. She narrowed her eyes at my bruise and I saw a similar but smaller one hidden by her hair.&ldquo
Our guards drove in a car behind us. Father doesn’t trust that we will misbehave with our guards and ordered them to keep at least six feet between us at all times except it is a life and death situation.I don’t want to be in this mall and I am making it very obvious that I would rather be anywhere but here. I also want to waste Carmen and Liana’s time so I have been adamantly refusing all the dresses that have come my way so far.“Pick something,” Liana whispered harshly in my ear, “Pick a garbage bag for all I care but pick something so we can be out of here.” “But I have to pick something pretty,” I pouted and she scowled, “We haven’t even visited half of the stores here; I wouldn’t want to pick something here and then find out that there was something prettier elsewhere.”“You a
