Charlie POV
I ran up from the subway dodging large puddles of water and people as I hurried up the street. My coat balanced over my head for some protection from the heavy rain. I dodged through the wooden doorway of O Malleys Irish bar my eyes took a moment to adjust to the dull dingy lighting. I shook the rain water off my clothing and from my loose red hair before hanging up my wet coat and rushing behind the bar."I'm sorry Josh. It's bad outside so everything is moving slower." I apologised as I relieved the tense looking Josh from behind the bar."No worries it's been quiet save the lone stag party in the corner. Sasha will be in by eight for the evening as will Danny" he smiled as he quickly placed a friendly kiss on my cheek before taking off out of the bar and into the rain. I busied myself wiping down the counter then settled into helping Mr Sullivan my regular elderly gentleman with his crossword. I sipped my coffee as we teased out the clues. I was engrossed in the puzzle when Mr Sullivan tapped my hand to get my attention and with mischief in his eyes he signalled to something behind me."Excuse me Miss" a voice called as I looked up from Mr Sullivan's paper."Sorry. What can I get you?" I replied as Mr Sullivan patted my hand warmly gathered his paper under his arm and left into the evening. I walked up the length of the bar counter."Four Guinness, four bourbons, three vodkas and a whiskey on the rocks" he ordered."No problem. I hear you boys are on a stag" I casually made conversation as I pulled the pints."Yes I guess so." He murmured"You guess?" I raised my eyebrow."It's complicated." He smiled but looked a little uncomfortable."I'm Emmett Sinclair" he added holding out a hand. I took in his striking appearance he had smoldering good looks, his dark brown hair was slightly curly and flopped over his forehead. His muscles strained against his shirt and I imagined his chiseled six pack beneath the fabric. He raised an eyebrow as I dragged my eyes off his body and felt a blush spread over my cheeks. He looked down at me from his looming tall height a small smirk played on his lips as I scrambled to regain my composure."Charlie Tudor." I returned the handshake."Tudor? That's a very royal historical surname" he raised an eyebrow"If only. But I'm surprised you made the immediate connection few people do" I placed the pints on the counter along with the whiskey. I busied myself pouring the shots."I like history, and politics and I'm a quick study" he smiled. "And Charlie?" He smiled addressing my unusual first name."My mom was a non traditional name lover" I supplied shrugging but in truth I had no idea why she called me Charlie .He nodded and began ferrying the drinks over to his friends. Sasha arrived right before the Friday night rush. I was busy dishing out a large row of twenty Irish shots for the gathered students whilst Sasha worked the crowd and before I knew it we were at closing and Danny was rounding up the customers."Charlie?" Emmett called he was now alone as his group staggered out into the night. He seemed put together despite the drink his group consumed."I was wondering what a lady like yourself does after here?" He asked.I glanced at my wrist watch."Two in the morning I usually clean down the bar and head home""Well I know a wonderful little twenty four hour diner and thought you might be hungry?" He seemed a little uncomfortable"Yeah Matty's diner we go there sometimes"Sasha suddenly appeared at my elbow"Go I'll close here." she winked as she turned to Emmett "She'll be right with you." She added as she bundled me into the store room where our coats hung. She grabbed my still wet jacket and tossed it to me. I took in my friend her mischievous eyes were twinkling and her blonde hair was falling from its clip after the night's work."Sasha I don't know him." I hissed as I began to protest."Charlie please for the love of God that man is hot. You are going to the diner for food not down a dark ally way." she laughed. "People go on dates to get to know new people." she added as she fixed my hair."Sasha." I began"Oh my god Charlie you have lived like a nun for long enough, now go with the hot man." She muttered opening the door and bundling me out. "We got you away from your father and grandfather so you could live so this is living" she added as she continued to guide me to the waiting handsome stranger.I rolled my eyes at her.Emmett and I made comfortable small talk as we wandered the block to the diner."I think this place is a new York gem" I sighed as I pushed open the door to the little diner spot.An older lady in a nineteen fifties pink cardigan and skirt was at the counter. A tall man with a deep American Italian accent was flipping burgers at the grill."Hello Angela" I called cheerily to her."Hello sugar. Any gossip?" She called back."Looks like gossip came in with her Angela" the chef Frankie smirked leaning over the service counter for a better look at Emmett. I was a regular customer so they both knew my love life was pretty pathetic so this was unusual."Awww aren't you funny Frankie" I called back at the chef as he looked through the kitchen hatch while I was sliding into the corner booth with Emmett.Angela placed a mug on the table and filled it with black coffee."Your usual?" She asked."Yes please and you handsome?" She turned to Emmett a sly smirk danced on her lips."The usual?" He looked at me."Eggs and bacon" I answered."Perfect. Same please." He added turning to Angela"Coming right up" Angela poured his coffee and left."So stag party?" I asked raising an eyebrow as I held my coffee mug."More like stag trip, we're in New York for two weeks then we head back to the territory.""Territory?""Small village we live in calling it the territory is an inside joke" he supplied seeming a little shifty. "So Charlie what do you do?" He swiftly moved on"Well I work at the Irish bar my grandfather owns it and I'm a freelance writer for an online magazine. I just graduated so I'm still deciding what I want full-time.""Your a writer how cool" his eyes lit up."Yup sadly it's yet to be seen if it will pay the bills" I sighed as Angela dropped our plates down"Oh come on Charlie your talented Frankie and I know you'll find a way" Angela added as she bustled away."She has to say that she knows my Grandfather." I laughed."Your Grandfather?" Emmett asked raising an eyebrow."Yea he has a certain aura that makes people notice him." I shrugged "Anyway how about you Emmett?"I asked digging into my eggs. "What do you do?""Politics. I'm in politics." He answered."Politics?""Yes on my families insistence." He added. "It's a family affair" he laughed. "Have you a big family?""My father raised me with my grandparents. My grandmother died a year ago so it's now just dad and Grandpa.""Daddy's girl?" He laughed"I guess so, he's always super protective of me." I smiled.Emmett and I chatted on I found out he had a brother and sister. Was dragged on this stag trip by his best friend Adam and he liked to travel. He lived at home still.He was so easy to talk to that I was shocked when the first rays of sunshine crept through the diner windows. I looked at my watch it was nearly six am."Oh my God we talked all night" I gasped."Come on let me walk you home" he got up and payed the bill.We walked together laughing and joking. The streets were still quiet and nearly deserted. Soon I paused outside my building."This was fun" I smiled."It was indeed. I was wondering if I could have your number?" Emmett asked."You leave in two weeks""I know but I figured you could show me around in those two weeks""Sure. Why not" I replied typing my number into his cellphone.I started up the steps to my building." Charlie?" He called I turned back around to face him. "Dinner tonight?" He suggested."Sure pick me up at eight" I called as I opened the door and went inside. I felt a draw to this guy a strong feeling of familiarity enveloped me when I was with him.After a quick shower I climbed into my bed and fell into a bliss full sleep.Emmett POVThe guys were chugging back drinks when I spotted a girl at the bar she was kindly laughing and interacting with an elderly gentleman, he seemed enthralled by her. I could relate she was an enthralling creature. I muttered to the guys I was getting another round and approached her. Her long red hair fell over her shoulders and down her back, she was short in stature. Her voice was the sweetest sound I ever heard as she spoke. I caught her taking in my body and for some reason I felt delighted when a blush coloured her beautiful cheeks. Her eyes were piercing emerald green and they sparkled as she spoke.As the night ended I knew I needed to find out more about her. I asked her out she became flustered and her pushy friend intervined and insisted I decided there and then I liked the perky blonde. When we entered the diner I stiffened as I realised the night staff were largely werewolves. I knew the Waitress Angela and the chef Frankie were wolves so the fact that they knew Charlie's grandfather surprised me a little. I knew first hand werewolves tended to keep tight circles, the waitress had a strong presence I knew from the twinkle in her eye she felt my aura and so her calling me handsome amused me as it was quite daring. I brushed everything aside as coincidence as I regarded Charlie carefully she was clearly human. I walked her home but as I watched her leave I couldn't bare it and instinct blurted out my dinner invite as I needed to be sure I was seeing her again soon.Emmett POVI watched her bound up the steps to her front door as she let herself in. I could feel my wolf Titan stir he was drawn to this red haired beauty. She took my breath away. Her eyes shone like emeralds. She had me baffled she appeared human but she had a suggestive aura about her that made me believe there was more to her. When I did approach the bar she had become flustered as I noticed her checking me out, a beautiful blush passed over her cheeks and I felt an urge to reach out and run my finger over her beautiful full lips.I turned from Charlie's building and spotted Rick standing about a block away I walked towards him. He nodded to me"Morning Alpha" he signaled raising his hand and a black town car rounded the corner to where we stood. I sat into the back whilst Rick sat up front with the driver. The car drove back to the plush hotel where we were staying.I walked into my suite to find Adam face down on the bed a bottle of whiskey on the night stand. Some random girl
***Charlie POV***Having spent a few days touring New York with Emmett and juggling shifts at the bar I began to dread the looming day of his departure for some reason.Sasha was sat eating popcorn on our sofa flicking through Netflix"There is something different about you" she smirked.I raised my eyebrow " Oh yea?""Yea" She smirked "Your all starry eyed like a love sick teenager. Your aura has changed"I rolled my eyes "please god do not start with the aura crap" I laughed taking a handful of popcornShe jumped up and pulled a small pack of white cards from her back pocket. "Angel cards let's do a reading" Sasha was jumping up and down."No thank you Sasha I don't believe in that stuff" I sighed. My friend, her mother and grandmother were into all these strange vodoo style mystical stuff. when we were kids it use to scare the crap out of me but as we got older I didn't mind it as much."If you don't believe in it then what do you care?" She sighed fanning the cards on the coffee
*Unknown POV*I sat at my desk having hung up the phone. It seemed I had a huge problem. My daughter Charlie had found herself in a world I had hid her from. Charlie had no idea who she was and what was now going to unfold. I knew the moon goddess was behind this but it didn't make me feel any better. I gave orders for my daughters gaurd Danny to find out more about this Emmett who claimed to be the Pearl Moon Pack Alpha's son. It appeared the spell I had the covens place on my daughter binding her wolf was now under threat. I now knew a war was looming and my daughter was going to be in the middle of it, centuries of hiding the the Celtic Crescent Moon Pack were about to be undone.** Emmett POV ***Keeping my hands off Charlie was impossible on finding out she was a virgin I considered in that moment not taking her virginity but Titan wouldn't allow it and my own heart and desire needed her. I had never felt anything like the passion I felt with her. I burned for her. I had made lov
**Emmett POV*Charlie hung up the phone and I stood listening for a moment to the dead line. Slowly but surely I processed what she told me before attempting to ring her back. Each time the phone rang out. Frustrated I tossed my phone aside and went straight for my fathers office. Titan paced my mind just as distraught as I was. I paused outside the office door before taking a breath and knocking."Enter" Dads voice boomed.He was an older version of me, he was as big and as muscular our hair was the same colour but his was slightly longer in length and hung just above his chin. His desk was littered with paperwork and his lap top was open. He looked up and took me in"Ah Emmett your keen today I hadn't expected you yet" he smiled mistaking my appearance in his office as enthusiasm to learn the ins and outs of being an Alpha to the pack."Dad, can an Alpha were wolf get a human pregnant?" I rushed into my question before I lost my nerve."There have always been rumoured myths of its o
**Alpha Williams POV**"Obviously my Granddaughter Charlie is a werewolf, quite a powerful one at that. She is a pure true descendant of the legendary warrior-werewolf named Laigneach Fáelad. He was said to be the ancestor of a tribe of werewolves who were related to the kings of Ossory in eastern Ireland. Our pack is known as the Celtic Crescent Moon Pack. A few hundred years ago our packs Alpha blood was crossed with the blood of Meabh a mystic white witch which led to a hybrid strength of breed. This created problems as Alpha males in other packs sought out our females to breed with to strengthen their own blood lines. As you know mate bonds are powerful women were taken by force mates fought and blood was shed. Our females numbers reduced and the pack numbers declined and weakened. The Elder council decided the pack should be hidden and our females magically cloaked. Most of our females live as human and mate with male humans watering down our blood line again. ""How could you do
**Emmett POV **I struggled against Adam as he bundled me out of my fathers office and into the pack common room."Adam are you kidding me right now?" I snarled as I turned and kicked the coffee table in anger. The glass centre shattered. Titan was straining against every fiber in my being to break loose and go to Charlie and our pup. Rage filled my being.The door flung open and in marched my mother, without saying much she strode across the room and clipped me on the back of head. Titan bristled but my mother's scent hit our nose ensuring Titan calmed enough not to shift and tear her apart in his rage."What in gods name do you think you are doing?" She snapped. My mother was a kind and gentle Luna, albeit on occasion she could be over baring. She had a fearsome edge that saw many an Alpha cower. She was fierce when it came to her pack and her pups. Even Titan didn't dare cross my mother and her wolf. Before I could answer she continued on "You and Adam will clean this up and then y
**Selena POV **I stood in the meadow awaiting the others to discuss the looming faith of our existence on earth. A woman in a lush green gown appeared, her brown hair hung in wild curls only tamed by the vine and flower crown perched on her hair. Known to the world as Mother nature she was a source of power that ruled over the good white witches and the fairies."Selena." she bowed to me as her greeting."Terra." I smiled back warmly at my old friend also bowing to her. A black swirling shadow appeared before our pleasantries could continue and a tall man in a purple velvet suit materialised."Selena the sun is garish." He murmured shelding his eyes with the brim of his top hat."Apologies.' I murmured waving my hand and turning the sunshine to twilight lighting with a wave of my hand."Is that more appealing to you Baron Samedi?" Terra asked addressing our new arrival. Baron Samedi was the keeper of the dead he ferried and passed those from life to death. He had many names and form
**Charlie POV **"Alpha Liam Tudor so wonderful to have you here." The older man welcomed us enthusiastically reaching to embrace my father. He stood back "I am Alpha William Sinclair but everyone calls me Alpha Williams, this my mate Luna Catherine, my daughter Daphne and my son the future Alpha Emmett." He introduced us all."Great to meet you please call me Alpha Liam, this is my daughter Charlie Tudor, her best Friend Sasha Sanderson, and My Pack Warrior Danny Moore." My father responded as everyone politely shook hands.Luna Catherine suddenly grabbed me in an embrace. "I'm sorry honey I can't help it I am so happy to have a Grandpup and no matter what a new daughter." She enthused. I found her embrace comforting and warm, her words struck me as genuine.A figure emerged staggering from the surrounding trees clutching a bottle and with an arm thrown over a scantily clad girl. Luna Catherine broke our embrace and suddenly began to apologise "I'm so sorry please excuse me a moment.
