( Charlotte’s POV )This apparently is the last day. Tomorrow is Maddox's birthday and all I'm thinking about is how I will prepare this small gathering between us and his father. It's not a big celebration but I know how much meaningful it will be to Maddox. He did say that he cared about the both of us the most and I wanted to make him the happiest person today.As usual he's mourning to himself. I can't help but feel sad. I seem to think that I cannot make him a happier person.It's harder to wake him up today. I'm thinking that he's probably tired from yesterday's activity.We all ended up having a great time with each other. We came home late after midnight because they showcased some fireworks before the fair ended. Maddox wanted to go home early but I refused, he'd go mourning once again.I was starting to think it was becoming a daily basisfor him."WAKE UP!" I scream.Maddox turns to his other side and ignores me. Well then. If you want to do things the hard way, then that's
( Charlotte’s POV)I find Alpha Reddox a bit weird. When we first saw him I thought he was the most intimidating person whom has ever walked on this earth though, once you see Alpha Reddox and Maddox together it's like they have their own special kind of universe.Alpha Reddox isn't afraid of being childish in front of many people. What matters most to him is embarrassing his son or making him happy in a weird way.Alpha Reddox's smile falters a bit, "Oh sweetheart, just call me dad like what this oaf calls me." He comes a bit closer to me and whisper yells,"Welcome to the family!""Why do you need to whisper?" Maddox asks."Because I want to," he snaps, "And quit being a curious pussy."Oh brother, here we go again. Maddox glares at him but immediately smirks,"Whatever you say old man."Alpha Reddox gasps. "How cold you say such a thing?" He pushes me away from both of them and wrestles Maddox. "I am not old, you little brat.""Then what are you?" Maddox taunts.I amusingly stare a
( Charlotte’s POV )Throughout the day all we did was have fun. I felt like I was Alpha Reddox's daughter. The boat was filled with so many entertainment rooms that we did a lot of things the whole afternoon.It's night now. In a few hours we'll go home already. I was losing more time with Maddox."So who gets first to say their secrets or ask a question?" Maddox questions, "Dad? Would you like to go first?"Alpha Reddox sighs. Wow, well that's a first from today. "Sure," he calmly states but I notice a slight pitch to his tone. He takes a seat on a log. We're at the rooftop. Alpha Reddox requested this place to be like a, s'mores camp out although there are no tents surrounding us and humongous trees."Am I a bad father to you?" Alpha Reddox rubs the back of his head quite a bit. His tone is serious though."What? Why would you ask that dad?" Maddox's eyes look like they want to pop out any minute due to his father's question. "Dad, even if you irritate me to no end and act as if you
( Olivia’s POV )"You alright Olivia?" Lydia asked nervously."Yeah I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" Olivia retorted trying to sound calm."Well you still look royally pissed off," Selena said."Yeah well whatever his name is just annoyed me big time--""His name was Chris." Lydia butted in trying to muffle her giggling."Well Chris just pinged me off but it's fine, I'm fine. Lets just move on please?" Olivia said desperately."How about we go to the food court and get some pizza? Pepperoni Bree? I know it's your favorite."Selena suggested. "Then after we have eaten we can continue shopping.""Okay, I'm cool with that," Lydia said as Olivia nodded her head saying yes.Besides you have got to see the look Chris had on his face after you said the reasons to him, it was priceless." Selena said laughing."You got the whole thing on tape didn't you?" Olivia questioned Selena."Yep," she replied smugly, "now let's go, I'm getting really hungry."Once she said that she started dragging the two
**3 and a half hours later//**FINALLY Olivia thought to herself, this had got to be the longest but fastest shop know in history.They went to every shop in the store and managed to take out 4 loads to the car, pushingit into the boot and back seat in exactly 3-5 hours, they even went to the bookstore after Olivia begged and begged for a good 20 minutes saying that if she stops complaining they could go because she had been making comments everywhere they went so she took the deal and was quiet for the rest of the trip.They were know sitting in the hairdressers waiting to be called, talking about what they wanted to get done with there nails, they all choose to get simple French tips done. Selena's with sparkly light purple, Lydia with sparkly red and Olivia with sparkly aqua. After another 5 minutes they called Olivia's name for 3 and place all three girls in the mani and pedi room saying that they would only be a few seconds and they were right. A few seconds later 3 girls came i
( Yvonne’s POV )Last night was the most amazing night ever.Connor never left me for more than a second, and he l praised me all through the night, as if I were a goddess. He could've molded me into something else, because I was putty in his hands. I don't know what got into him, but I am sure that I love it.It's just dawn, the sun only barely peeking over the horizon. Our drapes do nothing to keep out the sun. Connor's arms are firmly wrapped around me, and his chest is pressed against my back, leaving no space between us. I don't want this to end. Every little thing, the morning sun, Connor, the relaxing aura wrapped around us. It's like our own little bubble of happiness, and I'm too scared to move, or else I might pop it.Connor's breathing changes and I snuggle into him."Mmmm." He mumbles into the quiet room, barely awake. His lips gently graze my neck and I giggle softly. "Morning baby." His voice is deep from sleep, and the vibrating of his chest against my back isn't makin
Trish is at another table, talking to some of the guards. She notices me and smiles before waving. A moment later she heads over to our table, plopping down beside Lily. "Morning sleepy heads. Finally decided to grace us with your presence?" She asks sarcastically. Her smirk says she knows something is up. "What kept you two so late?"I roll my eyes. "Connor and I didn't want to get out of bed." Trish nods, but doesn't stop smirking. So maybe we made out a little bit. Okay, a lot of it, but it was just making out this morning."Did you two get a chance to look through those books?" Lily asks us as she digs into her plate of food, which Desmond got her."No, we stayed up talking about the Senate. By the time we realized it was night time, it was too late." I lie smoothly. Connor sets a plate in front of me, then sits to eat his own.Ilook between our plates and notice a lot of meat on his, and not a lot on mine. I snitch three pieces of bacon from him, and all he does is smile at me
"CAN YOU TURN OFF THE MUSIC!" Cameron screamed angrily.Doing as he said she walked over to the speaker, grabbed her phone and turned the music off."Thank you," he exaggerated, "I've had to listen to it for an hour straight and it's driving me insane."Why is he acting like I'm a total stranger? Olivia thought to herself, does he not recognise me? He should, I mean he is looking right at me.."Did you just move into this hallway? This dorm?" He asked."Yep, move in today." She said, nodding her head."Well then, welcome to the hall. I live next door with two guys, how many live here?" he questioned further, playing with his hands as if her was anxious, which Olivia noticed he was doing the whole time. He was also looking towards the elevator constantly."Three including me," she answered, trying to keep the talk short. Olivia wanted to see how long this charade would last for because it was starting to get quite funny."Well, if you need any help, don't be afraid to come and knock on
( Sophia’s POV )No more! I am going to be turning eighteen soon and I will NOT allow myself to endure my family's abuse anymore!"We need to hurry, your brother is coming." My wolf, Krystle tells me.I quickly zip up my backpack and place the straps over my shoulders as I make my way to my bedroom window, that's located on the second floor. I sit on the ledge before jumping down and landing on my feet. As soon as I stand up, I overhear my father yelling out to everyone to find me and bring me back to him. Which I can't let that happen, I know how bad the punishment will be and I already have enough scars and bruises to last me a lifetime.Immediately I start running as fast as I can into the dark woods, without knowing or even caring where I'm going. I just need to get as far away from all of them as possible.Once I feel that I've gotten far enough ahead to stop and catch my breath for a moment, I stop and start trying to look around, hoping I can somewhat see a path. But then Kryst
2 YEARS LATER ( Epilogue)(Yvonne’s POV)My heart's beating fast, butterflies are going crazy all over my stomach. I try to breathe in and out a few times to try and calm my nerves. The anticipation is overwhelming as I prepare to take this momentous step in my life. Today is the day I marry the love of my life, Connor.I look at Lily, my bridesmaid, as she opens up the door and her eyes meet mine. A wave of excitement washes over her face, and she can't contain her joy as she closes the door behind her. She stands beside me, our eyes locked through the mirror reflection."Are you ready?" she asks, her voice filled with genuine enthusiasm."I think so," I reply, my voice betraying a hint of nervousness."You look beautiful," Lily reassures me, her sincerity shining through. "And trust me, Connor loves you. I guarantee he's gonna cry when you start walking down the aisle."Her words offer solace and encouragement. I take a deep breath, feeling a surge of confidence building within me.
A few years ago, I never would've expected to be walking towards the leaders of the world, and talk about my biggest secret. Now, I'm walking confidently down the corridor, ready to face the most prominent men and women across the world. I would've thought of this as terrifying all those years ago.Instead, I'm relieved. I no longer have to hide what I really am. So, as I walk into the crowded room, I don't cringe out of fear. No. I march in with confidence, and stand with all of my friends, ready to take the next step in my life.Out of the sea of faces, only one stands out to me, Edna. The second I stop walking, the room begins to kneel. It's like a wave, person after person, dropping to their knees. "Why is everyone bowing?" I ask Lily, who's to my left.She merely shrugs, just as confused as me. "I'm guessing they realize what you are, and are showing you that they don't question your claim nor title, but I'm not them."I stare at them as they bow. It's unnerving. "You don't have
Last night, I slept as peacefully as someone can when told they're the biological daughter of the goddess of the sun. It took no time to fall asleep, but my dreams were shrouded in images of Solis. A language I didn't understand drifted through my mind, and flames would burn it away. I didn't wake up too long ago, but I can tell by the lack of light seeping from behind the curtains, it's still very early.Connor is sleeping peacefully beside me, his soft snores are a sure sign he's still asleep. My body is snugly fit into his, and my head is resting on his chest.For some reason, I don't want to be awake alone, so I place a small kiss on his shoulder, then his left cheek, followed by his right. "Mmmmm." Connor shifts beneath me, groaning slightly as he stretches. His eyes open slowly and he smiles up at me. "Morning baby." Connor's arm wraps tighter around my waist pulling me closer. His eyes shut closed again and I snuggled into him. "Can't sleep?" I nod and he chuckles softly. "I w
As Connor suggested, I search for Lily and Desmond.I find them chatting in a corner, snuggled into each other.When Lily sees me, she smiles brightly. "Yvonne! Where's Connor?" She looks around and I chuckle."He's being Connor. He felt the need to check on my security with Hunter, so he sent me to come hang out with you two until he's done." Lily gives me a knowing smile."Connor just can't let up, even for one night? Who would attack you here? We're surrounded by the most powerful people in the world. Anyone crazy enough to come after you is suicidal." Desmond says, still not fully aware of the fact that I have died, and quite possibly can die again.I simply shake my head and sit down. Lily pats his shoulder and takes a seat beside me.Eventually Connor returns, but he's still tense."Everything alright?" I ask as I stand to greet him.He nods in a stiff manner. "Yes, but I don't feel as if it is." I lean up to kiss his cheek and force him to look at me with my hands."Let Hunter
**Recap**( Charlotte’s POV )I stared at my loose chains. I had finally got them loose and it took at least a half hour. I just hope they don't notice that it's loose.My hands are still burning from the silver but I had to bear with it. If I saw Broken Dean again I would immediately shift into my wolf and attack."I'm ready, are you?" I whispered."Yeah..." He trailed off silently.We both quietly waited for them to "supposedly" kill us. They're probably thinking of ways on how.The wait didn't take long. The goons entered our cell like they owned the place. They unlocked our chains from the locks on the wall and pushed us out with them holding onto our chains.They led us out in the field. There was a bon fire at the middle along with five people."You're going to enjoy your deaths. It's going to be so painful." The man said. He laughed, "No one will kill us after we're indestructible!""Shut up and bow down to our leader!"The people follow the yeller, all bowing down to Broken De
~~Dylan's POV~~ She's gone..... I can't believe she's really gone.I've been sitting on the floor, pressed into the hard wall with my head in my hands. Looking up, I see Cameron, pain etched on his face, sitting across from me in one of the hard, green chairs with the rest of our friends and family in the Hospital waiting room.All of us jump to our feet, when Mum and Dad come out of Olivia's room, tears streaming down both their faces. Father nods, singling that others can go in. We decided that Cameron should be the first one to go in, since he is Olivia's mate and he was eager to do so but he solemnly said that I should go in first since I'm her twin brother.I take in a deep breath and let it out, rubbing my hands on my jeans and pushing the thoughts to the back of my head.As I walk in through the door of her private room, I take another breath and turn the corner."Arrh, why don't they have anything decent on the TV and when's lunch, I'm hungry." I hear a female voice complain.
Olivia woke up to feel of little circles being drawn on her back and electricity running through her body where the fingers traced. Immediately she knew it was Cameron so she turned her face to look at him and saw that he was sitting up on his side, looking day at her as if she was the only person in the world.He couldn't believe that she was finally his in every way and neither could Olivia. They were each others world and nothing was going to break them apart."Morning Cam," Olivia greeted in a sleepy voice."Morning love. How are you feeling?" He asked as his fingers continued to dance around her back."Good. Amazing actually." Olivia said as her face lit up when she remembered what happened last night and blush covered her cheeks.They looked each other in the eye and started leaning in, before their lips touched Cameron whispered "I love you""Ditto," Olivia replied and their lips met cause instant fireworks.Cameron pulled her closed and the deepened thekiss.5 minutes later a
It's been weeks since word got around about Olivia's sister still being alive and It's all everyone talks about. Apart from that, there has been more sightings of rogues, no ones dies but they have received some message saying things like 'we're watching you' and 'tick-tick-tick, times running out'. But the biggest one was a dozen black Olivias delivered to Olivia with a note attached saying 'you thought your sister had it worse, still does but just you wait till we get our hands on you". That was the last straw for everyone, school was cancelled and instead we are made to train and fight for 8 hours a day. Cameron has practically moved into Olivia's room saying that he needed to be always with her and Headmaster Dean has allowed it.It's no joke... Straight after the flowers were delivered to Olivia, Cameron went to Headmaster Dean's office, told him about the Olivias and note, then said he would be moving into Olivia's room after their talk and Headmaster Dean's reply was......"oka
