Alexander’s POV
I never thought I would have to be burying my father already, it was hard watching him be lowered into the ground, harder listening to my mother cry. Max was stood slightly in front of me, holding Charlies hand and as everyone submits to him as our new Alpha including myself. Charlie shows him her neck, was she submitting or offering herself as a mate?
As our new Alpha tells everyone to leave, Lola links arms with Charlie and leads her away from everyone else. This was not going to be good. I decide to keep an eye on them for Charlie’s sake, Lola could handle herself.
I kept my distance but used the power of my wolf ears to listen into their conversation, Lola is warning Charlie to stay away from someone, from me. I roll my eyes, Lola thinks we have something special because we had spent one night together, when was she going to learn that i was not interested in her any more!
Lola stabs a finger into Charlie’s chest and as she does Ch
Max’s POV I knew it was not going to end well, Alexander was fuming and I was in a little bit of shock, my mother wants Alexander to stop trying so Charlie will choose me, what my mother does not seem to understand is that I have been doing research on Charlie’s Alpha-Luna heritage and no matter what as soon as she turned eighteen she inherited the role as leader of the pack, regardless of whether her Alpha father was still alive. Research of our database has shown many lies, firstly it states that Charlie’s mother was killed by a vampire and secondly she isn’t the only Alpha-Luna out there, our mother was one too and that was why she knew so much about them, it most likely explained the silent conversations my parents were having when Charlie first arrived. “Are you ever going to tell us?” I ask mother, Alexander looks puzzled “Tell us what?” “How did you know Max?” mother speaks quietly “I know how to use the database remember, you d
Charlie’s POVWho knows how long I was stood in the rain, but it felt freeing and like I was connected to the Earth, something i had never felt before. My clothes were soaked through to my skin but I didn’t care about that, the only thing I could think of is what Max had told me, that I was mated to both him and Alexander. I was still trying to get my head around the terms and meanings they used, but it could not be possible, there was no way.I was curious though, I didn’t seem to be remotely bothered about finding out I was a wolf, deep down inside of me I guess I knew I was different from the other girls at my school although how different was a bit surprising. The gift thing was a bit of an eye opener but I knew I could figure it out eventually, being mated to two men was a new thing altogether even weirder the fact that they were twins.Max had said that only I could decide, how was I supposed to choose, did he even realise what he was ask
Alexanders POVI walk out, I can’t listen to this anymore. I plan on finding Charlie, she promised me thirty minutes at her party and I wanted to check that she was upholding her end of the deal. I searched everywhere for her, even checking with the men on the gate and they hadn’t seen her. She still was unable to shift into her wolf, there really wasn’t anywhere else she could be, well not without someone knowing.Sitting down on the bench, my mind went to Lola, she was goading her earlier, what if Lola had done something to her or worse, caused Charlie to do something to her and then I saw her, Charlie was leaving the dungeons in a hurry, why the hell had she gone to see her father and why did the guards let her in?She moves quickly across the grounds and I recognise that she is moving towards the forest “CHARLIE” I make her jump but she stands still waiting for me to catch up with her“I don’t belong here Alex
Max’s POVI waited for hours before sneaking into my mothers room, an omega confirmed that she had gone to sleep, even though it was the middle of the day, sleep was something she very much needed, she was grieving heavily and I don’t blame her, a lot of things would change now my father was gone including her adapting to life without a mate.Slipping into my parent’s bedroom whilst quietly telling the omega that they saw nothing as they hurry off, my mother was sleeping deeply, gentle snores leaving her tear stained face. Hopefully she would stay asleep and it would make it easier for me to grab the key.For the first time I see it, the small key hanging on a chain around her neck, how had I not noticed it before.I hadn’t thought my plan through, she would know if the key was missing, I look around the room, searching for something to replace it with but there was nothing, putting my hands in my pocket I fish out my keys, there w
Charlie’s POVMax looked absolutely horrified when I told him that I loved Harrison, but it was true, we had been great together and he had rejected me after hitting me, but it was my fault he had asked me to kiss him and I had refused because I was feeling so ill, I didn’t want to vomit in his mouth.Harrison had been so kind, he found me this morning to wish me happy birthday, maybe I could change for him, maybe he would want me back and then I wouldn’t have to worry about the whole Max and Alexander thing.I agree with Max, I do need some sleep, so much had happened in the last week that I was beyond exhausted, a young girl comes when called, I think her name was Kayla, Max tells her to take me to a guest room and she bows and tells me to follow her. Her brown hair was tied up in a loose bun and she couldn’t have been any older than me.She smiles at me “I’m Kayla, your Charlie right?” and when I say nothing sh
Alexanders POVShe looked absolutely beautiful, and right there and then I realised it didn’t matter in the slightest what she wore, in my eyes she would always light up the room. As Charlie made her way towards me I take her hand and kiss it, a light blush rises to her cheeks but it disappears as soon as she hears the group of people chatting about her and once again sorrow fills those grey blue eyes.I mind link the wolves and tell them if they knew what was good for them they would shut up and I let Jett snarl at them through the mind link, silence falls between them and they move away.“What did you say to them?” she focuses on my eyes and for the first time I don’t hide the truth from her“I told them to stop or they would have my wolf to deal with”. Her eyes follow them to where they have moved too. “They need to understand who you are Charlie”She gives me a small smile and thanks me and then h
Max’s POVI was furious, we had been attacked by what I thought to be multiple rogues and instead it turns out to be one of our own. I could not punish Kayla, she wasn’t too know that Charlie was in danger and my brother should of never put her in charge, she was only an omega after all.Alexander was staring down Kayla like it was her fault this had happened and I could see the fear in her eyes “It’s not her fault little brother”He turned, glaring at me “Are you being serious right now? Of all the things she had to do, she only had to watch Charlie”“I did, I promise Alpha, none of us were expecting Harrison to throw out silver. He took down so many in one go and then more came”“Why didn’t you call out to us?”. Not a single person had reached out to me in any way.“It happened so fast. They stabbed Charlie with something too, making her all weird” Kayla hu
Charlie’s POVUrgh my head hurts, the room comes into focus and it becomes apparent that I am on my back on the floor and looking up at the wooden beams of the ceiling, righting myself I try to recall what happened. Everything happened so quickly, I had been talking to Harrison and Kayla had left us to get a drink.I had watched as Max, Alex and a few others darted off away from the party and shrugged, something must have happened in the pack. Checking my watch, something jabbed me in my arm, whatever it was made me feel sick and tired at the same time. I remembered hearing Kayla’s voice call out to me and there was a rush of people surrounding us, including wolves. After that everything was dark or hazy.Sitting up and looking around, I was in a bedroom, not one I recognised and as I tried standing a searing pain radiated around my ankle. A heavy chain was attached to me and as I tried to touch it, a burning pain waved across my skin.Rage st
