Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 33
CHARLENE'S POV"My head whipped around to follow her. What the h*ck was that about? Who was that girl, anyway?" I felt Xavier's hand drop gently onto my shoulder as he guided me to sit down on the couch again. He sat down beside me and reached out to grab my hand as I started rubbing my thumb over the back of it absentmindedly. "What was that about?" I frowned as I thought about it and then realized what that must have been about, even as he leaned down and planted a soft kiss on the back of my neck. I jerked my head back from him, glaring up at him. "Why did you do that?" I demanded angrily. His mouth twitched upwards slightly. "Because you've looked like you need it." I glared at him furiously. If he thought that.kissing me would make me calm down, then he had another thing coming! I was still seething when he stood up abruptly, startling me from my anger. After looking briefly around the room, apparently deciding that it looked a lot messier than it had earlier, he began cle
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 34
CHARLENE'S POVI could feel my whole body shaking, which meant that my tears were making it hard for me to breathe properly, and I struggled to keep breathing evenly, but it just got harder and harder to do so. I was aware that I was crying and struggling and struggling for air, but I didn't care. There was only one person I cared about right now, and it definitely wasn't that annoying asshole, Xavier. I gasped for air again and tried to suck in as much oxygen as possible, as I noticed that I was hyperventilating now. Finally, he spoke. "Charlene, please breathe. Calm down." My eyes flew open, and I jerked backward so fast that I stumbled. "N–no!" My voice was barely audible and I struggled desperately to take another breath to try and regulate it. "Charlene, don't run away! Please breathe with me," he begged softly, moving slowly toward me as he grabbed my arm firmly and yanked me to a stop so I didn't fall over again. I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks as I fought to s
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 35
CHARLENE'S POVXavier's eyes softened and he reached over to hold my hand. The tears started forming immediately, and I let them flow without trying to wipe them away. I couldn't help it! This time it wasn't some stupid human emotion; it was something very personal, very private and very painful. Xavier pulled me into his side and stroked my hair for what felt like hours. But it couldn't have been more than five minutes. Finally, when my sobs became less frequent, he leaned back slightly. "Now, tell me, what happened to make you stop crying?" The tears came back faster and harder as I explained the situation. It turned into an epic tale of betrayal and heartache involving the one person I thought I could count on completely. I was sobbing again after my explanation. As I spoke, I noticed that Xavier wasn't saying anything. He just looked worried and confused. But he held my hand tightly throughout my story. By the end, my whole body hurt from the amount of sadness coursing through
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 36
CHARLENE'S POV"Oh, my God! He was a human, wasn't he?" I exclaimed, realizing too late what I'd said. Chandler's eyes flashed as he glared at me. My stomach dropped. This had been one of the reasons why I hadn't wanted her along today because she knew. She would have known what his scent was. How could I have been so stupid? I'd almost forgotten about how close they were. Chandler cleared her throat, breaking eye contact with us both. "It doesn't matter, anyway," she said dismissively. "That was just a bit more than a normal lycanthrope. The way his body language screamed 'human', and then his scent… it was definitely a lycanthrope." She frowned. "Oh my…" I replied."We're probably going to have to look for a pack nearby. There's some unusual animal tracks here, though…" She gestured vaguely to our surroundings, taking in the forest. I swallowed hard as an overwhelming sense of dread settled into my gut. Something bad was going to happen. It had already happened. We didn't need t
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 37
CHARLENE'S POV"So…." His voice cut through my thoughts suddenly. "Any ideas?" My eyebrows shot up into my hairline, "Any ideas what?" He snorted as if I'd been particularly stupid. "About where to go. Do you know of anyplace else around here?" "Umm... No. There is a small community nearby though. If there's nothing else around, then we can probably try there." "Great!" He clapped his hands together in excitement and started walking in a random direction. I followed behind him. "That should get us out of town pretty fast." He mumbled darkly under his breath. My curiosity spiked. I decided to ask him about it later. For now, I just wanted to leave the topic as far away from me as possible. "How did you even manage to get attacked in the first place? Did you fight back?" He shook his head quickly. "No, no, I didn't do anything to provoke it. It just came out of nowhere." "Do you think someone did it intentionally?" His eyebrows furrowed in concern. "Who knows… but I guess I sho
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 38
CHARLENE'S POVWe hid in the foliage and watched as several people passed by. One man walked with the hand of an elderly woman on his arm. Two young men played catch with their hands and grinned at each other. Another girl chased her mother with a broom and giggled happily. All the people looked so normal. Even after witnessing such a horrific crime against humanity, even seeing people I loved and cared for in danger, the world around me still managed to make me feel safe. Even when there really is no reason to stay in one place for fear of the next attack. I smiled softly as we continued to observe the peaceful scene. "This isn't so bad, is it?" he asked softly, watching me watch everyone else. I blushed and shook my head. He smiled. "Why?" I asked."N-nothing. We should probably get back and wait for daylight before we move further into the forest." "Yeah, probably," I said reluctantly. "We still need to find somewhere safe where we can sleep before nightfall.'' "Yeah, I know,"
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 39
CHARLENE'S POV "Where do you think you're going?" Xavier called from behind me, his hands folded behind his back, as he surveyed the village with an almost bored look in his eye. His eyes flicked down, searching for something. He sighed and turned away from me, starting to walk towards his hut. I ran after him. "Xavier, where are we going?" I asked, catching up with him and walking beside him. The ground felt cool against my bare feet. It helped soothe the burn from yesterday's incident. Maybe it would help today as well. My thoughts kept racing, and even the simple act of walking helped ground me. I took some deep breaths and closed my eyes. When the village fell silent around us, I opened one eye and watched him take another few steps forward. His stride was confident and unhurried, his pace slow and measured. If there was anything strange about this village, I couldn't tell what it was. It seemed normal enough. No sign of any recent fighting, no scorch marks on the cobblestone
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 40
CHARLENE'S POVNot ever. They couldn't. No matter how much they hurt me. No one spoke. The silence hung in the air between us as my friend tried to figure out an answer. Finally, Xavier pulled another cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a match. Then he handed it over to me, saying, "You smoke too much." When I hesitated, he sighed and leaned closer to whisper conspiratorially, "Just pretend I'm your dad." It made me laugh. He loved telling jokes, which he said helped him relax. But he also joked about stuff that was serious sometimes. Stuff that really hurts. I felt sad for him. Because it seemed like no matter how many times I told him it was okay, no matter how often I told him that I understood, he'd never listen. I took a long drag off the cigarette and blew out a long stream of smoke. After a minute, I realized he wasn't going to say anything else. I shrugged. "Thanks. For listening. I guess." He shook his head at me and rolled his eyes. "Of course, I listened. You kn

CHARLENE'S POVA few years later...I am now the Luna of the Vicious Shadow Pack, who destroyed the curse of their pack."So," Jaxton grinned beside me. "Why are you looking at me like that, huh?""Nothing. It's been a year since we met again, Charlene," Jaxton drawled, tracing the line of my jaw with his fingertips. "Can we be like–""Like what, Jaxton?""Like... official now?"I laughed at Jaxton's question and hugged him tightly. People pass around us and they can't stop glancing at us. I let my gaze wander over the rugged lines of his face, his sculpted lips, his eyes which had gone silver when he started talking about our relationship. I smiled widely and pressed a kiss on him. He groaned and kissed me back hard, his tongue tangling with mine. I tasted like mint from the chocolate mousse he had insisted I try today, and it made him smirk. We break the kiss after a while, both panting for breath, but neither of us has said anything. The people walking around us have stopped to w
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 87
CHARLENE'S POVSoon after the war finished, Selena declared her defeat in front of Alpha Jaxton, along with a genuine apology of what she did as she merely got blinded by the idea of revenge. She wished to be killed in the hands of the alpha. He didn't know that his parents were the cause of Selena's misery, so he took her in. She had to serve Alpha Jaxton for the rest of her life in exchange for being forgiven. So far, they haven't found the right way to kill her yet. But it won't be long before that changes. The war is still going on and Alpha Jaxton will take advantage if he sees any opportunity to get rid of her once and for all. She was still alive, but Selena has seen what kind of a man Alpha Jaxton truly is. There were no other words to describe him than brutal. In fact, I believe that he's only human. A person capable of loving someone so much, yet having such little care and patience for the same person. I wouldn't expect more from an alpha than that. It would never last fo
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 86
CHARLENE'S POVA few months later, Alpha Jaxton couldn't possibly leave me. During the commencement of the war, I was already on the verge of giving birth. My life would be at risk if Jaxton joined the battle. He was left with no choice other than to rely on Beta Xavier when he heard that my parents were about to get killed. Alpha Jaxton and Beta Xavier have been on good terms ever since the alpha knew that Xavier did nothing wrong. Jaxton owes a lot to him, considering how he was the only one who stayed by my side, protected, defended, and fought for my sake. Jaxton and Xavier had become close allies in order to survive. Beta Xavier has completely surrendered, he accepted the fact that no matter how many times the person he loves gets reborn, his love would never be reciprocated. ***"Hey, Charlene, are you okay? What's bothering you?" Jaxton asked. As he held onto my hand, he rubbed small circles into it to soothe away any pain I might've been feeling from my labor. The pain was
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 85
CHARLENE'S POVHis arms came around me tightly and his tongue swept past my lips. I moaned. We kissed for what felt like hours before he suddenly pulled away, leaving me gasping for breath. I blinked rapidly at him, trying to figure out exactly what happened between us just now. He still looked nervous and uncertain but also happy. My heart thumped heavily and my face felt flushed hot. He chuckled softly, brushing my bangs from my face. "Well?" "Yes, I..." My voice faltered. I had no idea what to say next. It was all very confusing. Finally, I managed to get the words out. "Thank you, Jaxton. Thank you for showing me your dreams." He frowned. "What are you talking about?" "I... I haven't really experienced anything like that before. The butterflies. And everything. You've been giving me a lot of good experiences lately, without telling me where they come from or when they're going to happen. And I'm just… overwhelmed by it," I finally admitted. I wasn't exactly sure how else to
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 84
CHARLENE'S POV"I'm sorry…" There were tears running down his face, and there was no mistaking it this time. His eyes showed it clearly. He was trying to hold back tears, but they just kept coming, streaming down his cheeks in tiny rivers. His shoulders started shaking, as if he wanted to break out sobbing but couldn't allow himself to. And just when I thought he wasn't going to say anything else. "I–I love you, Charlene." The words were barely audible, but they sent a wave of warmth through me regardless. And I couldn't suppress a small laugh. I took his hand. "What's funny?" he sniffled. My expression softened. "That is funny. What you said." But he only looked confused. "What do you mean 'what did I say?' "When you asked what happened in the dream last night, you sounded so sad, Jaxton." I continued to tease him with light humor, trying to distract him from the fact that I was crying too. It worked. A small smile appeared on his lips as he wiped away one last tear that ran
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 83
CHARLENE'S POVHis right eye was swollen shut and half of his lower lip was cut through, revealing the bone underneath. His whole body felt like it was in shock. Was he okay? Jaxton slowly moved his eyelid upward. A single tear rolled down his cheek. "Char…" He breathed heavily. Relief and joy rushed over me. Thank goodness he's alright. I pulled him into a hug, holding him tightly against me, trying to absorb all of the heat and energy radiating off his body. I buried my nose into the curve of his neck as I inhaled deeply, relishing the scent of him. It was intoxicating! He smelled like fresh rain and pine trees. As my head started to spin, I realized there were other people nearby. They must be watching us or more specifically. And they're probably wondering how we knew each other or if I even remembered him at all. But this didn't matter. All that mattered now was Jaxton. The moment he wrapped his arms around me I felt safe and protected. So safe and happy. It almost made every
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 82
CHARLENE'S POVI couldn't force myself to push him off or push him to continue, even though that was what I desperately wanted. I needed him. I needed to be in control. No one else but him had ever made me feel like this. And I never would again if I didn't do something about this mess we were in. The sound of footsteps interrupted our moment just when I was considering whether or not it would be wise to ask him to stop. A voice from above us snapped. "Is this how you treat the lady you claim to love?" We both looked up with matching sheepish grins, my face redder than a tomato, Jaxtonton's cheeks darker than a ripe tomato, and our clothes crumpled and torn beyond repair. "Who are you?" Jaxton asked, trying to pull himself out from underneath me. I tried to sit up as well but it seemed that my arms still belonged to someone else. "Who did you say you were?" Jaxton asked again, ignoring my questions for now. "I don't know who you think you're messing with, but we are going to have
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 81
CHARLENE'S POV"You'll come back eventually, Jaxton. It may take years, but eventually you'll find someone who understands, even if she doesn't love you like you deserve. That's what you want, right?" It seemed so simple when I said it out loud, but it would never be simple with him. I know that now. It was a hopeless relationship. Even more hopeless than the one with Xavier. No matter where we went or what we did, there was always something holding us back from really being together. We stared at each other in silence. Finally he gave a half smile and shook his head slightly before pulling himself up off the couch. We stood for a moment gazing at each other before he leaned forward and kissed me lightly on the cheek. I felt my eyes burn suddenly with unshed tears as I turned my head slightly and pressed my mouth against his shoulder. He smelled of the laundry detergent he used. A strong masculine scent that mixed pleasantly with some sweet, flowery scent he liked to wear. I wrappe
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 80
CHARLENE'S POVHe thinks we're incompatible. I had thought he wanted me! But the way he said it, it sounded as though he didn't want anything more than friendship and maybe s*x. I felt disappointed, hurt even, and humiliated. "It just occurred to me that your bloodline isn't completely pure," he explained, "or at least, not entirely. There's a chance, if we're compatible enough..." I couldn't help feeling hopeful. "Yes. If we are compatible, then when our souls touch." He trailed off. His eyes were sparkling. I could feel how badly he wanted me. How much he really liked me. I could see how much he was enjoying our time together. So much so that he would willingly change himself for better. I felt tears welling up inside me. I hadn't expected anything more than being friends. Not that I wouldn't be grateful and happy, of course. But still, this was so unexpected for both of us. I nodded in response to his question, not trusting my voice. "That's perfect, Charlene," he grinned. "We
