Charlotte POV
When I pictured myself killing him I never imagined him to be my father. I never imagined being the one to take a life from someone who is supposed to love me. What if he is my father but doesn’t know it? Maybe that would make it easier. How can a father distort someone they created so easily? Did his father just not show him enough attention? What am I saying, he can’t be my father. How did my mother get away with lying about who we really belong to? Maybe that’s why he killed her, for lying. My brother suffered because I was too much of a bitch to stay here and fight for what was mine. But now I get to go out and kill what I’ve always wished I had. Why does living have to be so hard? And dying has to be so scary? Fear lives rent free in my head along with anxiety! I don’t even know his name, yet he just changed everything. How is Alex so cool with
Alex POV“ Where's Charlotte?” He asked me to look around the office till he landed his eyes back on me.“ I thought it would be wise to have this conversation without her. Now you know your sister is my mate.” I started getting a nod in response“ good, and having a mate means you will do anything and everything to protect them. We haven’t always seen each other in such ways but we are trying.” I explain to him“ What does this have to do with me?” Looking confused and scared her wiped his sweaty palms on his pants trying not to make eye contact“ She's been hurt once already from the loss of you. Now that you are back in her life she blames herself for not staying around to save
We looked into his past but he’s life has been covered up pretty damn well. The only information we were able to recover was anything he’s life was like before he was taken. Which is useless because it's everything Charlotte has already told us. However there is one thing that stuck out more than the rest. Charlotte isn’t his sister at all, making this even harder for me because I’ll have to be the one to break the news to her after all these years. When Henry was born, the mother passed away at birth, Charlotte's mother was the one to perform the birth of the child and with no one else in the pack wanting to take him in, her mother almost had no choice. But she was so young at the time that she didn’t know better and believed every word they said about him being her real brother. I don’t know if they planned on telling her at all but they definitely didn’t get a chance to if they were. I don’t think it
After breakfast, I headed downtown to the workshop because Charlotte wants a bakery built close to the packhouse. I told her she could have any job she ever wanted and she told me a bakery loaded with homemade treats and pastries is what she’s always wanted. With everything going on I thought something like this would help keep her mind at ease. Once I arrived I had Creed and Ryan head in and buy everything we needed to start off. Looking at the blue print laid out on the hood of the car, I notice ways I can make it bigger, might also add a second story for her office and inventory. As I waited for them to come back out, my phone rang in my pocket.“ hello?”“ hey long time no speak” chuckling on the other end I will say I wasn’t expecting her to call“ What's up
“ Did you find him??” She yelled running off the packhouse porch towards me“ Yeah, we found him.” I huffed out spitting blood onto the ground“ what happened??” She gasped coming closer wiping the blood off my mouth with sleeve“ ask him.” I growled pointing to her brother that was shifted into a wolf being pinned by two of my men“ Why is he in wolf form??” She mumbled wrapping her little arms around me in a hug. If she was to cry right now I wouldn’t blame her. No one would. But she didn't; she just stared at him as if she was trying to find the answers in his eye. The way she keeps herself together is impressive, women are way stronger than we give them credit for. At least she is any
Charlotte hasn’t spoken to me since she found out about Henry not being her brother. I mean, I guess I can agree with Creed when he said she needed to know. Maybe this is the reaction she would have had no matter when I told her. She’s grown up hating herself for not saving them, not being the strong tough wolf her parents wanted her to be, to finding out he is alive and blaming herself all over again for the life he’s lived, just to find out that he was never really her family in the first place. We all put someone before ourselves without realizing they aren’t who they say in the beginning. Life likes to throw curve balls at you and wait to see how bad you’ll go down. Nothing in this world comes easy when it comes to simply just trying to live. I wish I could turn back time, a time where I met Charlotte sooner. A chance to change the life she’s lived so right now wouldn’t hurt as bad. Helping Creed build the
She never came out of her room yesterday, not for food, not to catch up on her pack duties. Nothing. When I tried to get into the room and talk to her she wouldn’t say anything, just kept the door locked and the tv up really loud. Don’t get me wrong, I have a key to the door. But the goal is for her to want to talk to me again, and barging into the room where I'm not wanting just might not be the answer. She let Creed in the room long enough to give her food and restock her snacks in the mini fridge. He said she looked awful, her hair is a mess and there’s trash all over the room. It’s been days since she’s left the room and everytime he goes in there to give her food he said it smells like she hasn’t even showered. It breaks my heart to know that she’s broken because of me. My grandma was able to go up and talk to her when they got here but she said I’ve really done a number on her and there&rsquo
Unknown POV“ Have you heard from Henry sir?”“ who?” Confused for a second it clicked “ oh yes the girl's brother, yes he reached out and said he thinks they might be on to him. We set up a meeting in the morning. How he’s going to get away is beyond me but when he does I’m going to tell him exactly what I was him to do. He told me he’s started a fight between the girl and the alpha. Which is brilliant, maybe he’s worth keeping around more than I thought.” I explained tapping my fingers on the desk“ sir may I ask, why are we after the girl?” My men are so stupid. I swear they never listen to a word I say, ever.“ I’ve told you this a million times now. Because sh
Alex POVI hate to admit that I was wrong. I was wrong for thinking she couldn’t handle everything that’s been thrown at her. I was wrong for thinking I could protect her without hurting her as well. She finally left the bedroom all dressed up and showered. She still isn’t talking to me but when we passed each other this morning I got a small smile. I’m not sure what it was about but the bakery is finished and I’m kind of excited to show her it. Maybe it’ll get her to talk to me again.“ Hey Charlotte?” I asked, clearing my throat as I walked into the kitchen. She just looked at me with her big beautiful eyes.“ I have a surprise for you, and I have to take you to see it. Whenever you are ready to leave is fine with me” I’ve learned from

*5 years later* Alex POV Have you ever wanted to be someone else? That was the question that I’ve been asking myself all these years. With the stress of life getting me down I couldn't help but wonder what it would of been like. But now I wouldn’t ever want to change a thing. Charlotte is strong, she’s a warrior in disguise. Never in my lifetime would I have thought that someone so small, so beautiful, would turn my life upside down for the better. She's over come all her fears and became everything the pack needs in a Luna plus more. We’ve made three beautiful children. That are more then a handful and keep me on my toes that's for sure. My daughter Lilly, she’s the strongest out of all three of them. Determined. She wants to be alpha one day, but I've told her she can't since her brother is first born. She's ranked
“ So what made you think I wouldn’t come for you?” I started swinging around the knife in my hand “ Char. This isn’t you” Creed huffed from outside the cell. He was kicked out when he decided he didn’t want to hand me the knife. “ What are you going to do Charlotte? Hmm? Listen to him, this isn’t you. You aren’t a killer. I bet you didn’t even kill that alpha either. It would have changed you. But not like this” he grunted, spitting out blood. Not that it mattered. “ I’m not going to kill you. I’m going to make you want me to kill you. Then I’ll let you go. You’ll stink of blood and the rogues hanging around our borders won’t hesitate to take advantage of attacking you. See you lied to me. Betrayed me. Gave me up to die while you hid for your own life. And when I go back to that hole in the ground. I’
After my long talk with Alex he didn’t seem very pleased about me telling Creed first. But I couldn’t help it. It just came out like word vomit. But he wasn’t mad at me like I thought he would be. Instead he held me close and kissed me. I didn’t tell him about Creed kissing me on the forehead though. Because it felt right, and comforting. Henry had been retrieved and brought to the pack house cells. After spilling what I’ve been holding to myself he felt it wouldn’t be smart for me to go back there until I can overcome what happened. And maybe he’s right. I asked him if he was found where I told him and he said yes but once I’m better he suggested I should go and look at the place myself. I haven’t been there since we were kids so I’m sure it doesn’t look much different from then. Well unless Henry did something to it. Sitting in the kitchen I wait for breakfast to be made while I sip a
“ You are so delicious dear.” He hummed in my ear with his hand pinning me down. Looking around the room I search for a way out. Something to hit him upside his head. At this moment I prayed to the goddess that I could shift. I’d shift right now no matter how much it hurt or if it killed me. He moved his right hand off my hip and gripped my jaw making me look at him. All I see is pure evil in his eyes. With my free hand I reach for the book he picked up off the ground. “ shhhh calm down dear. I promise you’ll enjoy this.” He smiled, reaching his hand down between us. Tears rub down my face as I reach for the book the best I could. Trying not to alarm him, I press my fingertips against the cover trying to flip it over. “ Why don’t we lose these pants huh?” He whispered, pressing his lips against my cheek. Pressing harder on the book it flips over l
Charlotte POV I didn’t mean to cut my leg as badly as I did, but I also tell myself I didn’t mean to kill him. Hearing Alex’s voice it was sure Creed would rat me out to him, tell him everything. But he didn’t. He finished cleaning me up, explaining to me that Alex will be joining us for lunch and it would be wise to wear pants otherwise he’ll notice and will have questions. It seemed smart but I don’t want to hide anything from him. The last thing I need is him growing suspicion between me and Creed. Putting on a pair of Jean shorts and a kind of nice shirt that buttoned up. I decided to leave my hair down. Only adding some leave- in conditioner to help keep it from tangling too bad. Walking out of the bathroom I slip on my sneakers and head downstairs with Creed. Alex was waiting by the front door in a pair of jeans and a black t- shirt.
Okay I’ll admit I didn’t like the idea of her coming along as we hung down the guy I handed her over to. But she was right, she’s the only person who knows where this place is. After spending that night with her in the living room we’ve still been sleeping in different rooms. As much as I want to, I don't want to push anything on her. She’s finally talking again even though it’s always only about the pack and Henry she’s still talking. I love hearing her voice. But the way Creed was staring at her yesterday was weird, I need to make a note to discuss that with him. I understand that they’ve gotten pretty close since he saved her but he looks at her differently. Writing an email out to everyone about the Luna ceremony needing to be Postponed until she’s ready. Hopefully my grandparents will understand, my grandma has only been planning it since my sister's ceremony. Granted that was rushed due to her having my first nephew. I still don’t understand why
“ Wake up!” Creed yelled through my head making me jerk “ This better be important” I growled back looking down at Charlotte sleeping next to me. She rolled over late in the night away from me, as much as I wanted to stop her and hold her tight I didn’t. She's curled up in a ball hugging one of the pillows with the blanket over her head “ I think we know where Henry took off to” he said making me sit up “ Where are you?” I asked standing up from my spot stretching my arms and legs “ in your office” he said, cutting off the link. Sighing I look over to her knowing I should wake her up. Pulling the blanket off her she groans hugging her legs “ you’ve got to get up” I tell her in a calm voice&n
Alex POV She stormed out after hearing me say I wanted her to become my Luna sooner than later. She almost died.. not because we were attacked but because I sent her out to the person that wanted to kill her. No sign of Henry when we showed up either. I made Ryan search the territory for his body. He had to have skipped out before we showed up. I need to find him, I want him dead. He’s the whole reason she got mixed up in this mess. I can see the pain in her eyes every time I look at her. Since we got her back she hasn’t looked at me nor wanted to touch me. I’ve been sleeping in my office because the cold shoulder in bed kind of sucks. Creed and her have gotten closer than I like. I still don’t understand why she’s so attached to him all of a sudden. Grandma tried talking to her again this morning but she said she still won’t even look at her. After dinner I followed her scent and it led he
