Charlie’s POV
He walked into my room with a strange aura, I could not hide from the instant attraction to Alexander, his scent overwhelming me but this time it was different, it was as if his body was calling to me, yet he said or did nothing as he approached me.
When he finally stopped at the end of my bed, his green eyes were bright and they were only focussed on me. An unfamiliar feeling washed over me and a part of me wished that he would sweep me up and walk out of here.
As I watch him, Alexander runs a hand though his unusually messy ash blonde hair “Look Charlie” he sighs and the image of him calling me a freak resurfaces. “I am sorry, I should not have called you that”.
My body moved quick before I had even had a chance to think, I was out of bed and stalking towards him, as I reached him I prodded his chest hard only to be met with a solid muscle, it didn’t budge a centimetre when I prodded “No you should
Alexander’s POVYes, she was finally coming around and was actually agreeing to go to the party father and I had sorted. It was only going to be a few people anyway, now I knew why she did not do parties, I did not want to push my luck by inviting the whole pack although there is a good chance they will find out anyway. Some people just cannot keep their mouths shut.As soon as she agreed, I left, I did not want to give my mate the chance to change her mind. Heading back to the party, I tell father that she will come for a little bit but not to invite too many people.Father grimaces “I’m sorry son, I have invited the pack. It’s not often we get to throw a party”He was right, we had stopped throwing parties so often because they always seem to end in disaster. Hopefully this time would be different.It was literally hours before she turned eighteen, then she would have a choice to make and I prayed to the moon goddess
Max’s POVCharlie went into denial mode but not before calling me every single bad name under the sun. Everything in the room had rattled and she told me to get out. I could see she was fighting back tears, her beautiful blue grey eyes were swimming in them but she refused to let them spill over whilst I was stood there.I tried to talk to her and she just shouted at me telling me to leave again. As I left, I heard something in the room explode and as much as I wanted to turn back and be with her, her anger was radiating from her, being connected to my mate meant that I could feel everything she was feeling and who knows what she is truly capable of when angered.Reaching out to Alexander through mind link was a last resort, I had to tell him the truth even if he did not want to believe it. He reluctantly agreed to meet me.As usual Alexander came on his own time whilst I waited patiently in the pack houses large dining room, the first place Charlie
Charlie’s POVI don’t even remember him coming into my room, let alone curling up and sleeping on his lap, but he looked peaceful and I was extremely relaxed which was the first time in a long time that I had felt this way.As I climbed off of Max’s lap I raided the cupboard where he said there were some clothes that I could wear, he had also put in a new pack of underwear for me, it wastoo big but I was still grateful. As I started pulling on the tshirt I heard is light snoring stop, he was obviously awake and when I glance at him his eyes are closed. I make sure I keep my back to him and finish pulling on the tshirt and joggers.Max acts surprised when I tell him to stop pretending and when he feigns innocence I laugh, the sound makes me jump. I cannot remember the last time I laughed like that or if I had ever laughed before.When I ask him if there is anything he wants to say, he looks at me puzzled until I announce that it is in fac
Alexander’s POVMy brother could not be anymore annoying if he tried, stupid golden child! If he wants a fight then that is what I will give him. I was almost tempted to follow him but decided against it, I had to come up with a plan and fast, it was almost Charlie’s birthday.That night I decided to take my wolf for a run, he was itching to get out of his human skin and I don’t blame him, it had been far too long. Shifting in the forest and letting Jett free, I let out a howl and was surprised to be met with howls I did not recognise.Who was on our land? If it was rogues, I was well and truly out numbered. I call out to Max and get no response, he was most likely asleep. Quietly moving through the forest and ensuring my tracks are covered, I make my way in the direction of the howls.There in a small clearing of the forest were three wolves, wolves that were smaller than me and most likely omegas. They would not be able to understand m
Max’s POVSilence hung between us, Charlie and Harrison that was the last thing I was expecting. In training he was always messing around and talking about a girl from another town, no one believed him as we never saw her but it made sense why he was always leaving the village randomly.I was still raging, he had continued to let her live in appalling conditions even though he pretended he didn't know, it would have been impossible for him to have missed the markings on her body. What was worse is that he had somehow convinced her to lose her virginity to him. There were questions I wanted to ask but every time I glanced over she was staring out her window.“Why are you royalty?” her question came from nowhere but at least she was talking to me“It is a ruse, it is how we have lived so peacefully for so long and kept our kind hidden from the humans”Her head moves up and down slowly, “But why royalty?”
Charlie’s POVEveryone had their eyes on me, I hated every moment of it and just wanted to be invisible again, a girl steps towards me, she was pretty with natural blonde hair and looked like ninety percent of the girls at my school. “Hi, Charlie, my name is Lola” she smiles at me“Hi” is all I could muster, I was trying to keep my hands relaxed and by my side, now was not the time to show this gift I had been given.Alpha Max orders everyone to leave and Lola wastes no time in linking arms with me and pulling me away from Max, Alexander and their mother.“So your something special” I have no idea where she is leading me but I manage to keep in step with her even if my legs didn't want to cooperate. “I did some digging on you, I heard a vamp killed your mother”I shake my head and pull my arm from hers “That’s not true, it was a drunk driver”. Lola just shrugs“Wha
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
