Charlotte POV:It's been three months since my captures found out that I could talk. Ever since then, they've been asking me thousands of questions every day. It's weird because I only speak in my native tongue. But that doesn't stop them from asking me questions.I don't even know why I said something. Even if they can't understand me. I've been trained to not say anything. I'm supposed to be scared to say anything. They're not supposed to be so nice to meet. They're not supposed to worry about feeding me, worry if I'm cold, worry if I have enough blankets and pillows, or worry if I was comfortable.It's not supposed to be this way.But it is.And I love it.But I'm not supposed to."Hey Charlotte." I looked away from the window, peeking through my lashes towards the door. Ares walked in with a calm smile, carrying a tray of food. "How are you my pretty Cherry?"Stay quiet Charlotte. Stay quiet. Stay quiet. Stay quiet. "A-Au e ole e kamailio pu ana me oe. Au e ole e kamailio pu ana i
Theós POV:With my forehead pressed against the cool counter table, I silently grumbled to myself about the meeting that I was just in.Stupid council. How dare they try and defy me? They knew what was going on with me and Aries mate. How fragile she was. How she still isn't use to her mates. Why would I introduce Charlotte to them when she can't even leave the room? They want to rush something that shouldn't, and won't be rushed. If it will take Charlotte years to trust us, then they'll have to wait years. I rather have her take her time then to rush her and her to hate us later on."I see the meeting went well."I lifted my head from the counter, glaring over at Aries and Timothy. "Why did you tell me to meet you in the kitchen? Shouldn't we be in Charlotte's room?""This is about Charlotte, that's why I told you to meet me in here." Sliding in a chair next to me, he plopped the tray, still with food that I cook, onto the table. "I didn't want to discuss this in front of her. Someth
Theós POV:"Your kneading the dough too soft Aries." I pointed out, eyes narrowing directly at the kneading fingers. "You need to be a little firmer or it won't turn out right." "Will do-TIMOTHY!" With one hand still kneading the dough, thankfully kneading it a little firmer, he used the other one to point at the idiot behind me. I turned around, eyes still narrowed as I try to catch what he did. "Stop trying to eat the barbeque chicken!" "I was just tasting it!" He defended, "I don't want the Luna eating nasty food! You should be grateful!" "That was your third spoonful!" "I wanted to be sure!" He argued, still trying to convince us that he wasn't being greedy. At the unimpressed look he was receiving from us, he pouted and lowly mumbled out and apology. "I'm sorry okay. I'm just hungry. And the food looks and smells so good.""What a surprise." Rolling my eyes, I shuffled back over to the larger steaming pot. "You're always hungry."He sighed, beginning his stirring
Aries POV:I was slightly surprise at the sight that greeted me when I entered my mates room. I watched happily as my mate messily stuffed her face with the food that we prepared. Her sunken cheeks covered in bbq sauce and bits of bread. Her gorgeous grey eyes focused completely on nothing but the fastly diminishing pile of food. Her tiny hands sticky with sauce as they try to grab as much as it could to stuff in her mouth.It was an adorable sight.I quickly made my way over to the seat on the other side of the bed and sat down. She flinched, her wide eyes tearing away from her food to look up at me. I flashed her a large, warm grin, hoping to show how happy I am that she was eating. She studied my face for a while, her dark sunken cheeks flushing brightly before her gaze dropped back to her food, resuming her eating. "She won't be needing the other batch of Cha Siu Bao. I don't want her to get a stomach ache. But she will be needing that bowl of soup.""Does that mean I can eat
Charlotte POV:I could feel his heated stares as I stuffed my face with a breakfast burrito. I savored every bite of season, juicy ground beef, melted shredded cheese, fresh lettuce, bites of baked chicken, some sort of sauce, that was all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. I think I'm stuffing my sixth one into my mouth. I couldn't remember the last time I've eaten this much. I couldn't remember the last time I've eaten before being kidnapped.Eating was a rare privilege that was given to me. I wasn't aloud to eat without his permission. No matter where I went, which wasn't a lot of places. Not at home, not on the rare chances where I had to leave home with him, I wasn't aloud to eat at school either. Not much because of him not allowing me to. It was more of them refusing to feed a fat, disgrace like me."Baby?" I peered up, mouth stuffed as I waited for Theós to continue. "Were you ever fed before we found you?"I shrugged with a swallow.His eyes narrowed, "Use your words baby."I hes
Theós POV:"I want to take the Luna out shopping."I blinked, tearing my eyes away from the sub that I was making for my Luna to stare at my Beta. He stood confidently, greenish hazel eyes staring determinedly towards me as his bottom lip quivered, as if to drop to a pout if I said no. My brows raised, "No."He pouted, which wasn't a surprise, as his confident stance slouched. "Why not?! I think she's ready! Plus I'm ready to dress her up in incredibly cute outfits!""She's not ready Timothy. She hasn't even left the room yet." I explained, eyes dropping back to the sub as I added more salami. "You can't just take her to the mall. There's a process and she needs baby steps. Plus she's finally just getting use to me, Aries, you, and Ben. She still gets uncomfortable being surrounded by people and-""Come on!" He whined out, slouching even further, leaning on the counter table. "I know she's bored being trapped in that room all the time! She needs to get out! Explore! Do something fun!
Charlotte POV:I munched happily on my sub as I half listened to the conversation that went on around me. This "cold cut" as they called it, is delicious. My ears perked at the sound of the loud crunches of the sandwich being eaten by me. I could taste everything. The slightly toasted bread, a mixture of chopped lettuce and sliced pickles, ham, salami, bologna, and the strange substance that they call mustard.I sadly gulped the chewed mess in my mouth, one of my now empty hands reached towards my favorite drink of all time. After I gulped down the sweet yellow drink, I turned my attention to the plate of brownies."Did you really put chunks of strawberries into the brownies?" I heard Aries ask as I plucked one from the pile."And if I did?" I bit into the chocolate treat, silently groaning at the mixture of sugary baked chocolate dough and gush of bittersweet fruit that exploded into my mouth. "It reminds me of her scent.""ʻO koʻu ala?" (My scent?). I question quietly with my mouth
Aries POV:"Give it to us straight doc,"It's been three days since Charlotte left the room to join us in the kitchen to have lunch. Something that me and Theós were proud of. We knew how hard it was for her to leave her comfort zone into a new and foreign territory. Her life has been filled with nothing but torture and pain. Never knowing when the next blow was coming. Never knowing when her next meal was. Never knowing who to trust or who not to trust.No one could understand how happy Theós or I felt when she trusted us to take her from her comfort zone. It was a big leap. One wrong move could've ruin everything we worked hard for.Timothy leaned towards Ben, eyes wide as he prepared himself for what we needed to hear. "How's our little Cherry?"With a quick roll of his eyes, Ben turned to the multiple of x-rays and papers that was neatly projected in front of us, jumping into an explanation on my mate health. "She's better. Exceptionally better. Her weight is slowly growing, which
