The room is darker than the hallway. Looking around I see no windows, no ways to escape if I need to. Everything in here is the same shade black. Thrown onto a leather chair in front of his desk. I scanned the room to see if I could find the best spot to place the piece I was told to put in his office. The only best place would be underneath the coffee table but that only made it more tricky. The two men that stood next to me on each side would notice in an instant.
“ I would like to thank you for the wonderful challenge you have given me, little one.” He smiled sitting on the chair behind his desks. My memory of him, time must not have done him good. Not sure how old he was but now he looked as if he was in his early 60s. His hair is grey and his face has gained a few wrinkles. I don’t know if he does much training either because it looks like he’s gained some weight since the last time I saw him.
Sitting on the floor I wouldn’t be caught dead sitting on a bed he could of had sex on. “ How are you holding up?” Alex asked, hearing his voice is all I need to keep going with this plan. “ I’m fine. Have you seen what I have? You know exactly where I am right?” I asked to play with a book I found on the bed. “ Yeah, I know where you are. Don’t worry princess you aren’t alone. It’s not too late to retreat on this deal. I will come and get you right now and kill him and everyone there” he hissed with anger in his voice. “ no, I need to know why he killed my parents and why he kept Henry alive all these years. I’ve held a grudge against him for so long. He made my life hell before I got to live it. But I promise if I feel as if my life is going
Alex POV My wolf shivered in pain as she fell unconscious. Rage burned inside me like someone just lit a fuse. I couldn’t contain the anger I felt right now, all I wanted was blood. I wanted to hear him scream my man, pleading for me to end his life after I’ve tortured him to death. I’ve never understood why my father would get so angry over my mother when they told us stories. But now I get it. I couldn’t think of anything else, everything inside me was on overdrive. I felt the blood in my veins boiling. “ I shouldn’t have let her leave” I yelled at Creed and Ryan who were pacing back and forth in my office. Punching the wall that already has 5 holes in it. My knuckles are bloody but I didn’t care. “ Why did you let her leave? Alex how could you be so stupid!?” Creed yelled at me in a way I nev
Creed POV Hearing her cry out in pain was the worst sound I’ve ever heard. From the moment I met her I knew there was something about her. But when Alex told me she was his mate I knew I had to swallow my feelings forever. I can’t explain it but I feel drawn to her, I don’t think it’s a mate bond but what do I know. I’ve never felt love before, I didn’t date in school or even give any of the girls in the pack a second look. I knew by the way Alex was acting that he was head over heels for her. He deserves to be happy, I would rather rip out my own tongue then ruin that for him. When I snapped on him I couldn’t hold it anymore. I hated this feeling of anger towards him for letting her leave. Yeah I didn’t help the matter but I couldn’t just blurt out reasons why I didn’t want her to leave. She’s amazing in every way possible. Her humor matches mine which makes my heart melt into millions of pieces. I under
Alex POV I looked at my mate as she clung to my best friend. Pain filled my heart when she wouldn’t come to me instead. Could it be because Creeds the one that found her? The car ride back to the pack was torture I watched as she shifted in pain in his lap but didn’t move from it just held onto him for safety. I wanted to pull her away from him and hold her so close to me that no space was left. But I couldn’t. He made her feel safe at this moment and the last thing I need is ruin that. He looked at her with love in his eyes. They’ve bonded a lot over the time she’s been with us. She’s closer to him than she is with me. I’ll admit we haven’t clicked the way I thought we should. We don’t talk or communicate as easily as they do. But I still cherish the moments I get her all to myself, I’m not good at this and think my grandma was right about it being my downfall. I’m losing her by the distan
I held Creed's hand as we just sat in silence. I didn’t know what to say, and I’m sure he didn’t either. He just rubs my hand with his thumb and I can feel him looking at me. I wouldn’t dare try and make eye contact because I know I’ll start crying again. I don’t want to cry anymore, so I did this. I killed him so what gives me the right to feel bad about it. hearing a knock on the door didn’t surprise me, I figured Alex would come in trying to see if he could help in any way. Creed let’s go of my hand placing it softly on my leg. Standing up he goes into the bedroom to get the door when no one enters. But to my surprise the one person I wasn’t expecting to show up did. Grams, she stood at the bathroom door looking at me as if she’s just as disappointed in me as I am in myself.“ Now what are you doing mopping and sitting on a dirty ba
Creed POVI watch her as she walks out of the bathroom in just a towel. Tears stain her pale cheeks and her curly red hair dripping water onto the ground. She doesn’t look at me, looking towards the ground I can tell she wanted to say something. But I wasn’t going to push her, I just wanted to see her happy again, to see her smile.“ Are you okay?” She mumbled softly holding on to the towel that’s wrapped around her tightly“ Yes Char.” was all I could say. There’s more I wanted to tell her, I wanted to wipe that sad frown off her face and replace it with laughter and smiles. I want to take away every ounce of pain she’s feeling right now. Seeing Alex walk up behind her pressing his body against hers made my wolf want to growl and rip hi
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
“ 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

*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
