LOGIN"Anything," Elijah said without hesitating and he took a step toward me. His blue eyes softened and all of his playful teasing vanished when he saw the genuine worry in my eyes. "Name it, Charlotte. What do you need?? My mind racing as I tried to come up with fast lie. I couldn't tell him the whole truth but I needed his power, his pack access, and his closeness to Samuel if I ever wanted to see my parents again. "It's about... Isla," I choked out, using a trembling voice to make the story sound believable. "Isla? My brother's late Luna?" "Yes," I lied, looking down to avoid suspicion before forcing myself to look back up into his eys. "Before she died, Isla and I were close friends. We met outside the pack territory years ago. She was like a sister to me and I heard about her passing when I woke up, I tried reaching out to her parents, Alpha Theodore and his wife but they vanished off the face of the earth." Elijah stayed still, listening to every word, his eyes searchin
Who am I really? Am I the girl who died because of love? The naive girl, too trusting, like Rebecca said? The girl who was killed by her own sister, murdered by her own mate and husband? Or am I this beautiful girl who lost her parents? Am I really the face, or am I a fusion of both? Because they are both a part of me now. I don’t know. truthfully I genuinely don’t know who I am anymore." I don't really know who I am anymore I think I've changed so much.""No, I want to know what makes you you." he never lits anything go and if I don't ask him then he will just continue bothering me until I say something so I gave him what I could think about it that moment."Well, I’m just a quiet person. I like spending time by myself. I like winning. I like not being bothered, and I don’t want people all up in my business," I said.He laughed, walking slowly beside me. "That’s not an answer, Charlotte. Everyone likes winning. What about the small things? What makes you laugh when no one is watchi
"Fancy a ride?" I was expecting him to try and talk to me today, but I thought it was going to be a lot more hostile than this. "Is there a particular reason why you’re being nice?" I said, raising my eyebrow. "I’m really nice, but only to people who are nice to me." "Well, I find that hard to believe, because you have been rude, arrogant, mean, and—" "Enough, I get it," he said, interrupting me. "You were great today. Is this really you, or were you kidnapped and your clone took over your body?" I joked, but after everything I’ve seen, that could very much be possible. "No, I just want to get to know you," he said. "And what if I don’t want to get to know you?" I asked. "Then you would be missing out on knowing someone remarkable, handsome, charming—" "Okay, enough, I get it." I went over next to his car. "You know you and I would never work, don’t you?" I don’t want us to be romantically involved, but I don’t want us to be enemies either, because he has proved
I was on top of my game the next morning, and we arrived ten minutes early to the meeting. Mr. Vance and Laura were on either side of me, and every board member of Chadwick Enterprises was already there, looking terrified but in line. My warning from yesterday definitely hit the mark.I’m hoping nobody told Samuel what I did to them yesterday and they wouldn’t because I made sure to warn them and none of them would want their secrets to come out. Our pack's high-ranking officials were here—the Beta family, the Gamma family, the nobles, the head warriors, head scouts, etc. Samuel entered the room a few seconds after me, and Ivy walked in beside him, dressed in designer from head to toe. You would think that she was here for a fashion show and not a meeting, but the moment our eyes met, her face fell to the ground, and I made sure to give an extra smile to her.And I know how much it annoyed her because I put her in her place yesterday. Then in walked Elijah, and my heart went craz
Chapter 25 "Three years?" I whispered. "Nobody has seen or heard from them since the Luna died. Not a word," Rebecca said, shaking her head sadly. "After the news broke of Isla‘s death, the former Alpha was never seen again, and I’ve been trying to call them because they were really close to me and I think of them as my second parents. But I still can’t get ahold of them, and I’ve tried to ask Luna Ivy, but she refuses to tell me because she claims that her parents want nothing to do with anything that involves the pack because they lost their daughter very tragically." I gripped the edge of my desk so hard that my knuckles turned white. My parents were heartbroken, but at least they are out there. I’ve been worried that maybe Ivy and Samuel did something to them, but they’ve just been struggling with the guilt of losing me. "But also, it’s unlike Alpha Theodore to do something like this, because he never wanted to give Samuel the reins of the pack, and he only did it because he
"Yes, we'll do as you say." I guess I needed a lesson that I should have got when I was running the Pack.sometimes you have to play Dirty in order to get what you want and that's exactly what I did.I had a headache again because I barely slept last night, and I know it’s because of that, but I also couldn’t go home without finishing my work. I wouldn’t give these motherfuckers a reason to talk behind my back.Since I made it known that I'm going to be running this company in the long run then I have to make sure that I pour all my energy and time in it in order to become really good at what I do. "Miss Charlotte, you have a visitor," Laura said, opening my door just a little bit to peek her head in. "She doesn’t have an appointment, but she says she really needs to speak to you." I turned around expecting it to be another board member who has an opinion, or maybe Samuel to try and talk to me, or Elijah to bother me. But it was Rebecca. I felt a lump in my throat because she was
