Alexander’s POV
What the hell was happening? Kayla was a Lycan, her and Charlie were related!. My head was spinning and it was Jett controlling me, powering my legs to move away from the situation, however instead of moving to the packhouse, I entered into the woods to the north of our pack’s village.
What the hell is going on with this pack?
“I don’t know Jett, everything is messed up”
It all started when we met Charlie
“What are you trying to say? I am not blaming Charlie for all of this”
I never meant that, I just mean it’s weird how all these things have happened since she has turned up
He wasn’t wrong and I didn’t regret meeting Charlie either, her dark hair and bright blue grey eyes lightened the room, she was looking better than ever and freckles had appeared on her pure white skin. I shake my head, I cannot think like that anymore,
Max’s POVWith Alexander gone and Charlie stomping off into the woods, it leaves me with a delirious Kiwi and a sobbing Kayla, right now my priority was Kiwi“Go” I shout at Kayla and she runs off in the same direction as Charlie. I should have been concerned or at least worried about Charlie but something tells me that she could take care of herself.Picking up Kiwi and once again slinging her over my shoulder, I head towards my packhouse when one of the warriors comes running to me“Alpha, what is the plan?”I growl at him, could he not see I was busy“Its just that you told us we were going to war and we are still here” he had clearly drawn the short straw“Well it’s obvious that we are not at war with Kiwi’s pack considering she is hanging over my shoulder”. The wolf stares at me, quickly bowing his head in submission, “But we are at war with Damon Blackheart,
Charlie’s POVIt felt good to have Max’s arms around me, breathing in his earthy scent helped calm my mind but I couldn’t help notice how tense he was.“Where is Kiwi?”, I needed to know if she was alive or dead.“You do not need to worry about her, she is safe and unable to hurt anyone”I couldn’t hide the smile spreading across my face, Kiwi was finally no longer a problem and yet I wondered why Max had kept her alive but right now, that did not matter. Releasing me from our hug, I watch as he takes in the scene, blood was splattered everywhere except on Alexander.“You did this?” Max asked me whilst refusing to look at me“He thought I was Damon and I took a chance. Now we just have to deal with her” I point at Kayla who is still sobbing on the wet earth and I roll my eyes. She hadn’t tried fighting me but if she really was a Lycan like me, crying was not
Alexander’s POV “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” I was annoyed with my brother for keeping the secret about Kayla “Alexander, it wasn’t as simple as that, we were dealing with Kiwi and Damon, calling you was the least of my worries” We continued to walk through the woods, slowly making our way back to Midnight Moon. Max stayed quiet as much as possible and only spoke when I asked him a question. It felt like he was hiding something else, but now was clearly not the time to speak about it. As we near the edge of the woods Max stops me “Charlie is bringing Kayla” He cannot be serious, I had just rejected her and she was a Lycan yet because Charlie was bringing her back to our pack, I shake my head at him “She’s not staying in my room” “Look, I know they are Lycans, but the rest of the pack doesn’t, can you keep it that way” I can’t believe he was asking me to do such a thing “You know how they will react, they already think Charlie is a
Max’s POVKayla had a sibling, why didn’t I pick up on that? Maybe it was because of how worried I was about how Charlie killed Harrison so easily. Alexander said she didn’t even hesitate and it was the most brutal killing he had ever seen.“Aren’t you worried Alexander?”“What about?, if you are on about the Lycans than yes, yes I am”“All of this” I sigh as I gesture around us. This was adult stuff, not teenagers problems.Alexander watched me, not saying anything for a few moments “Maybe it is adult problems, but we do not live like humans, we are taught to fight and defend ourselves from an early age. Now, are we going to figure out who Kayla’s sibling is?”“It’s not something I want to think about” I was too busy thinking about how easily Charlie murdered Harrison“Brother, you are supposed to be our Alpha”I looked
Charlie’s POVWe stared at each other for ages, neither one of us moving. I had protected us, I had dealt with one of the men that had hurt me and who also was a threat to Max’s pack, why couldn’t he accept it for what it was.“Charlie you were never like this” Max had his arms crossed“No I wasn’t but things change Max” I was getting annoyed with his lack of trust and so was Gypsy “I did what I had to do whether you like it or not” Turning away from him, I made for the door but he blocks me“No, we are having this out now, you don’t get to walk away so easily” I noticed that Kayla had moved over near too Alexander.“What do you want me to say Max? That I enjoyed killing him or do you want me to promise I will never do something like that again because I can’t do that” I was almost yelling now and I was sick and tired of being accused of th
Alexander’s POVWith both Max and Charlie gone, it left just Kayla and me. I was uncomfortable being here with my rejected mate and I am sure she felt the same way. The Moon Goddess really had a lot to answer too.“I’m sorry Alex” her voice is high pitched and squeaky and one of her blonde locks drops out of the messy bun and falls over her face.“Don’t call me that Kayla” The only person that I wanted to call me Alex was CharlieShe drops her eyes “It was never supposed to be this way, I was never meant to fall in love” she peers at me through her long eyelashes. I knew exactly what she was doing, all the girls I had been with in the past were exactly the same.“I’m sorry Kayla but I love Charlie” there was that dark flash in her eyes again“You are not mated to Charlie, you are mated to me”, she follows me as I leave the room and runs to keep up with my lar
Max’s POVI couldn’t stand how close he was to Charlie and the growl came frome somewhere deep inside me, warning him to get away from my mate. As he moves away I see the wound to Charlie’s stomach, the burn marks already healing and her skin slowly knitting together but she was unconscious.I didn’t think Kiwi was still able to use her powers but I was clearly wrong, even as Kayla and I dragged her back to her room she was screaming, kicking and trying to throw small purple balls of mist at us. She had taken out two of the guards but thankfully they were already recovering and healing quickly.I couldn’t shout or punish Kiwi, she just wasn’t capable of understanding what she was doing, although she kept calling Charlie a murderous cow over and over.Kayla asked me if she could stay with her for a while, it was a strange request but I agreed on one condition, that she does not kill Kiwi, she nods her head and I pull the
Charlie’s POVAlpha Zach was something else, he had muscles bulging through the shirt he was wearing, he was tall with dark hair shaven at the sides, tattoos trailing over the skin that was visible and down into his shirt. His eyes dark as they focussed on me and as he stared at me I felt an overwhelming urge to be with him and his scent told me that he had the same urge.As he calls me Queen I quickly mutter a good morning and rush inside, dragging Kayla with me“Who and what the hell is that Kayla and why the hell did he call me Queen?” I felt flustered, excitedly embarrassed about how I acted.“Well, that would be Alpha Zach” she doesn’t get a chance to say anything else as the door opens and Max walks inside with Alpha Zach and his men. Max eyes us warily but doesn’t utter a word.Alpha Zach greets Kayla “It has been a long time Kayla” a smile spreads across Kayla’s face and she giggle
