CassianI didn’t mean to tell Charlotte that I knew. It was a mistake and I never should’ve spoken and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now. Raven will ridicule me for my mistake, I know she will and she’ll encourage me to move forward with the plan she wants to do.I’m cautious to go through with her plan. I don’t know how I feel about owing her, even if I do have veto power. At the end of the day, Raven Moon can’t be trusted. It’s in her nature to deceive others.Charlotte is quiet throughout the day until it’s time for dinner with Maddox. I hate how she flocks towards him. I want to be the one she desires most, but I’m the furthest thing from that right now. She smiles as she takes a seat and looks between the two of us and visibly relaxes knowing that she is with both of her mates.We get our food and halfway through the appetizer Charlotte asks, “Where will I be tonight? Or am I allowed to be by myself?”Maddox’s eyebrows scrunch together and his lower lip pouts out at the th

MaddoxI walk downstairs to see Roger and Sam standing around as they talk and joke with one another. Roger notices me first and bows his head down in respect as he says, “Alpha Stark.”My nose crinkles in distaste and I say, “Roger, when we’re alone you guys can call me Maddox or Alpha Maddox. But… goddess, Alpha Stark makes me sound like my dad.”I try not to shudder at the thought, he’s the last person I want to be like.Roger chuckles, “Sorry, sir.”I nod my head and ask, “What are you two doing here so early?”Sam raises an eyebrow at me and she says, “We normally go on a run at this time, Alpha, and you said you wanted to start having morning meetings. We assumed it would be at the same time.”I roll my eyes from her tone and say, “Yes, we do need to have morning meetings. I just wasn’t expecting you and you startled Charlotte.”Roger’s voice sounds surprised as he asks, “The Luna is here?”I nod my head in confirmation when I hear her voice, “Morning y’all!”My eyebrows crinkle

RavenChaos, I thrive on it. I need it to live.Cassian finally approved the plan I had to set things right. He’s allowing is desperation to be the ‘favorite’ cloud his judgement for what’s really going on.He runs off with Charlotte and goodness, the girl really doesn’t seem to know what she’s doing. She’s like a lost little sheep that needs guidance.As I walk to the Thunderbolt Pack and make sure no one is there I can’t help put think, there’s no reason for you to worry little lamb, everything will go back to the way that it should be.I find Maddox’s office and lock the door behind me. This is one of the benefits to not having a true scent, no one will ever know that I was in here. I roll up his rug and look down at the floor. I can feel my power flourish through my fingertips and I close my eyes and smile as I relish in the feeling of power for just a moment.A slow breath escapes my lips and I smirk as I open my eyes.Time to get to work.CassianCharlotte’s busy with Clarissa

CharlotteThis can’t be happening. Maddox promised me.But seeing him and Cassian both covered in blood with Sebastian’s dead body laying at their feet, I can’t help but scream in horror.Maddox stumbles over to me and reaches out as he says, “Charlotte, I can explain.”I step away from him as he gets closer. I shake my head, my jaw is dropped open, and my mouth is dry as I keep breathing in and out. I’m unable to calm down, this has to be a hallucination or something this can’t be real life!My eyes meet Maddox’s and I can see the concern in his look, but I feel no sympathy, I only feel anger. I growl out, “You did this. You promised me that you wouldn’t! You promised me that he would live!”He argues, “Charlotte, do you really think that if I was involved in this that I would risk you catching me in the act? I wasn’t apart of this! Please, trust me.”Tears blur my vision and my eyes flicker between both of the men and I notice how Cassian is alarmingly quiet. I shake my head as I sn

CassianI pace back and forth in my room. I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life… again! No one knows that Sebastian’s death was my fault in our past life. But in our last life, Maddox liked me and trusted me a bit more. He believed me when I told him that Sebastian had ill intentions, this time he is doubting me.I don’t know what I’m going to do. I want to hit a reset button.And, of course, she knew I would be feeling that way.Raven shows up out of nowhere and looks at me with a playful smirk on her lips as she says, “Hey there, how’d things go?”I roll my eyes and remark sarcastically, “Oh, it went fan freaking tastic! That’s why I’m in the same room as Charlotte right now and we’re finally consummating our relationship.”I sit on my bed with a huff and run my fingers through my hair before I ask, “Did it at least work?”Raven tilts her head to the side, her black her swaying as she does and says, “What do you think, Cassy?”The growl that rips from my chest sounds a lot harsh
