Semua Bab The Alpha's Guardian: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Charlotte Sanguinite POV:  Ever since my night with Robert, my dreams have returned with a vengeance. I’ve tried to ignore them. I’ve tried everything I possibly could not to let them affect my daily life, but that’s easier said than done. The problem is that the man I always saw in my dreams—the faceless man who doted on me, who loved me, who made me feel special and important and everything else in between—now has a face.He has Robert’s face.And somehow, it hurts even more.Angie left that day with a warning, telling me to be careful. She was certain Robert was not done with me. But I knew he was. He had to be. Why else would he avoid me like that? And even though I kept telling myself that this was for the best, it didn’t negate

Charlotte Sanguinite POV:  “You,” I breathe, rooted in place out of fear and shock.The last time I saw Arabella, she was sneering at me, a kind of viciousness in her eyes that no ten-year-old should have. When it came to her appearance, Arabella inherited our father’s dark looks, her skin a beautiful olive shade, her eyes a sharp green, and her hair black as a raven’s, falling to her waistline like a waterfall. As a child, she was cute, but as an adult, she’s gorgeous. Her cheekbones are sharp, her eyes almost catlike. She has lost all her chubbiness, her figure slims like a model’s.Compared to her, I look like a frumpy maid, with my hair in disarray, my curvy figure, and the bags under my eyes.I see the way my sister looks at me, her ey

Robert Montgomery POV:  The look of shock and guilt on Charlotte’s face confirms my suspicion.Beruth Sanguinite may have erased Charlotte from his clan’s history, but he couldn’t erase her from the memories of the people who once knew her. Harry, as my assistant, was tasked with looking up Charlotte’s past. He couldn’t find anything at first, but talking to a few vampires with whom the pack is still on somewhat decent terms revealed a lot.Charlotte Beaumont was once Charlotte Sanguinite, the oldest daughter of one of the most notorious vampire clan leaders. When Harry brought me that information this evening, I felt a variety of emotions: shock, betrayal, hurt, and anger.It was hard to reconcile the gentle Charlotte with the greedy, ambitious,

Charlotte Sanguinite POV:  I don’t like depending on others or leaning on people for support. It’s a habit formed out of necessity. But Robert is like a force of nature, taking charge of the entire situation, taking care of me.It’s been a long time since someone took care of me, and I don’t know what to do about it.My desire to push Robert away keeps getting weaker and weaker as he barges his way into my life like a bulldozer, crushing the shields I erected around me for my own self-preservation. Perhaps the breaking point for me was when he held me in his arms, telling me that if anything had happened to me, he would have looked after Mano.It’s foolish, but those words pierced my heart, and now I can’t look at him the same way.It frightens me how safe I find his arms and how reassuring his presence is. I know I’m lashing out at him at the moment, and it&rsquo

Charlotte Sanguinite POV:  Robert’s home is a four-bedroom house with a large yard that is well-maintained.With Mano in my arms, I looked around as I went through the front door. A woman is waiting for us by the stairs, and she hurries over. She looks to be in her late fifties, and she smiles at me.“You must be Miss Beaumont. "I’ve prepared a room for you. "I also took the liberty of setting up a litter box in your room and in two of the main areas of the house so that your cat will be comfortable, as well.”Robert wrapped his arm around my shoulders. “Charlotte, meet Mrs. Mallory. She’s the housekeeper. If you need anything, you can go to her. If you want to change something or the decor isn’t to your liking, Mrs. Mallory will help
