All Chapters of The Alpha's Guardian: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Robert Montgomery POV:Ricky’s eyes sharpened. “What did you say?”“Rotten blood?” Charlotte tilted her head at me in surprise. “Is that really what it smelled like?”However, my focus is on Ricky, and the troubled expression on his face doesn’t escape me.“How’re you feeling right now?” Ricky asks her.“Fresh. "Better than I have in ages,” Charlotte replies warily.“Good. There’s a spare set of clothes in the back room. Go change into them and leave what you have on there. I want to take a sample of the blood.”As she nods and walks away, I say, “I’m already getting a sample collected and delivered to you, but with all the hocus-pocus you’ve got around this place, I don’t know if my guy is going to be able to find it.”Charlotte is already gone when I say the last part, and the way Ricky reacts to the phrase “hocus-pocus” confirms my suspicions.He crosses his arms over his chest and studies me for a couple of long minutes. “It’s a necessary precaution. I don’t need people finding ou

Charlotte Sanguinite POV:  “You’re walking funny again,” Jazz observes, grinning as she empties the dishwasher. “I know what that means.”The kitchen door opens, and Gina walks out with a tray of glasses. “So, I think things are going well with you and Robert?”“I’d say they are,” Jazz laughs as I try to ignore their sly teasing. She called in again yesterday. You’re lucky. I’m such an accommodating manager. I take my employees’ love lives into consideration.”“I’m glad you’re happy, Charlotte.” Gina sets down the tray and pats my shoulder, smiling at me. “Everyone needs a little love in their life.”“And speaking of love, your boyfriend is here.” Jazz points out the window. “See?”As I looked over to see Robert crossing the street, I heard Jazz whisper, &l

Robert Montgomery POV:  “My blood?” I frown.Ricky gestures with his hands, an indication of his own nerves. I don’t know what triggered it, but something set her off, and she ended up throwing the poison. She probably still is; there’s a good chance she’s not telling you about it. And from what I’ve managed to figure out, your blood repelled the poison inside her, and now that it’s coming out, she’s going back to normal.”“What does that mean, normal?” I feel uneasy at the word.“She’s gaining back her abilities. She’s not going to be weak and fragile for much longer. Her healing has already kick-started. The edges of her fingers were burned today, and they were already healing. Her need for blood is going to increase, and now that she’s tasted yours…” the vet makes a disappointed sound, “...she’s

Charlotte Sanguinite POV:  “Robert?”“Stay here and don’t move,” he orders, his footsteps echoing away from me a second later. The smart move would be to listen to him, since I don’t know what is here, but I’ve already made a series of dumb decisions tonight. What’s one more?“Charlotte…” Robert’s growl vibrates through my bones as I cover the distance between us and grab the back of his wet shirt for guidance.“I got scared standing there by myself,” I claim, smiling at the back of his head.“I don’t know if anyone has ever told you, but you’re a terrible liar,” he mutters. Stay close. I know you can’t see in the dark.”I’ve never had anyone try to protect me or shield me the way Robert does. It makes me want to lean on him.After a couple of minutes, the tiny passa

Robert Montgomery POV:  Just because Charlotte didn’t want to confront Doreen and her father doesn’t mean I wouldn’t.My father was the type of Alpha who was easily influenced by money, and the pack elders, who were usually the patriarchs and matriarchs of the prominent families within the pack, used that to their advantage. However, I’m nothing like my father, much to their irritation. I can’t be bought or bribed. My business is so unique that they can’t even interfere in it.And while I have been a fair Alpha, at the end of the day, my word is law.I decided to deal with everyone at once. Calling a pack meeting is a huge deal because when an Alpha summons the pack, everyone is supposed to drop what they’re doing and show up.
