Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 46
CHARLENE'S POVThe poor thing probably hadn't been looking where she was walking. As I walked to our office, all I wanted to do was go home and hide. If only I could just disappear somewhere, nobody would ever look for me. Maybe a mental hospital, or an asylum. I knew they had people running away from them all the time. That would give me a good hiding spot, wouldn't it? I could hide out until… Or until I died. Or whatever happened after death. I wasn't even sure if I'd survive my thirties. It would certainly take a while for me to become a mother, too. When I arrived at our unit, I found a note pinned to the door that read, 'Work late. Be back tomorrow. Love X.' I smiled. His love meant a lot to me, and it meant he couldn't abandon me. I was safe. For tonight. We'd talk when I got back. When I got inside, I saw Xavier, sitting on the couch with his legs crossed and looking at something on his laptop. He didn't look happy. He glanced up at me and nodded, then pointed to a seat on t
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 47
CHARLENE'S POVNot with everything else going on inside us. Nothing felt real anymore. This wasn't a dream. None of it made any sense. The people I cared about most were disappearing one after another. It hurt to think of them leaving me behind. To realize that they didn't want me. That no one did. "Don't say that, Charlene," Xavier said soothingly, stroking my hair and holding me even tighter. He held me tightly and I let myself collapse into his embrace, finally letting my tears flow freely. I tried to make it stop, but I couldn't manage to control the sobs. Xavier only rubbed my back, whispering encouragingly to me until I calmed down. Once I was calm enough to speak normally again, Xavier spoke first. "Charlene?" he asked, taking my hand in his. "What happened tonight? Where are we now?" The question surprised me, but I answered as honestly as I could. "This is the second home of our pack. The rest of the pack resides elsewhere. They haven't returned yet either. If anything ha
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 48
CHARLENE'S POVThat earned me an unamused glance from Xavier. The look told me he wouldn't take that lightly. The next minute, we were moving forward again. I could hear some footsteps and voices from ahead of us. They seemed to be getting closer. So, we were close enough to go back. We walked past the last house. Then the sound stopped. There weren't any more steps anymore, not even whispers of movement behind doorways and windows. Xavier looked at me nervously. "We probably shouldn't just wait around here. What if they catch up with us and kill us in our sleep? Wouldn't that just defeat their purpose for capturing us?'' I shook my head. "I doubt they'll do that. They would've left us alone after that, but why take chances when they might have more fun watching us fight off those guys?" That got a small laugh from Xavier, but I noticed his face turn serious again pretty fast. "Yeah, you're right…" Then he smiled. "Hey, what if we run across them now and ambush them while they're
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 49
CHARLENE'S POVAfter several minutes of sitting and watching the traffic pass by on the road opposite us, he spoke up softly. "You're right. The whole vision thing is totally dumb." I glanced at him curiously and looked into his eyes. They stared ahead, unseeing. "I know I'm still young. Even if it wasn't so long ago, I don't really understand the stuff you're talking about yet. All I know is that it hurts, it feels awful, and it scares the living shit out of me. So yes, I guess that doesn't sound very rational." He shook his head. "But I know you think this is important and you'll get me through it someday." I frowned. His words seemed to hit home deep inside, and I wondered what kind of feelings he was referring to. He continued, "It may take a while, but I'm working on being able to accept that. For now I can only try to be happy for you, and for that, I'm grateful." He looked back to me, smiling softly. "Thanks, dad." I felt like I should say something back to him, but the on
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 50
CHARLENE'S POV"Yes. I'm sorry, Charlene. I know what you're thinking, and you’re right. It could end badly, and we shouldn't risk anything more. Not until we're certain. However, I think we should do something now before we lose any more lives. We have to warn the others, and soon, or else we're going to die." "But… Dad?"He grabbed his phone and headed towards the window, pressing a button and putting it to his ear. After a moment he turned to face me again, frowning. "That idiot is not picking up. It's like he's ignoring me!" Well. He was acting rather irrational today. I was getting frustrated. "Look Dad, you have no idea how dangerous it is out there. I don't really care about doing this, but I can't let you go out there alone with no one to protect you," I explained. "Charlene, listen to yourself! Do you realize what we've just agreed to?" he shouted angrily. "You can't tell me what to do! Your mother was right, you are just another mouth to feed. You know what? You don't d
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 51
CHARLENE'S POVAfter a while, I saw Cassy rushing towards where Dad and I were. She talked to Dad privately again, and when they finished talking, she asked me. "Charlene, it's not that I'm interfering in your life and what happened to you before, can I know the whole incident?""About what?""You and Jaxton..."I glanced at Dad to ask for his permission, but in my glance I already knew what he wanted to say. I nodded at him and returned my attention to Cassy. I sighed before speaking. "A brief summary of my story goes on when I was pregnant with my first born, having my mate, Vicious Shadow Pack's Alpha, Jaxton as the father. However, he believed that someone else got me impregnated, especially when he saw with his own eyes how I was sleeping together with a man.""Oh really? And then…" "Me and Jaxton started off as childhood lovers, but because of the supposed 'cheating incident', I was ordered by Alpha Jaxton to abort the child I'm carrying, even if he'd end up getting punished
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 52
CHARLENE'S POVThe moment I saw her, my heart skipped a beat. Oh God! It was her again! Oh My! Her sister Cassy must've invited her over for lunch since they were already here! She looked amazing. She always did. But I had to admit I wasn't expecting her here. How could she come here after everything Cassy and I talked about yesterday? I stared at her for so long that Dad spoke. "Charlene, are you alright?" He sounded worried. "Uh, yeah," I muttered. "She's coming back." Then my gaze moved away from her, and my voice came out quieter. "Did you invite her?" Dad sighed deeply, as if he had been waiting for someone to ask that question. "Yes. I wanted to tell you that before she came in. I don't want you getting your hopes up, but we're going through with this." I opened my mouth, then closed it again. My head spun and I began to feel dizzy. Did Dad know how I hate Chandler? Why hadn't he said anything before? He knew it! He knew that I… No! That wasn't the question I needed to a
Dangerous Temptation: Alpha Jaxton's Reborn Luna CHAPTER 53
CHARLENE'S POVAfter a year… I successfully graduated from Snow Academy, but I wasn't chosen by any of the pack's alphas. Thus, I got forced to participate in an auction where I would be bought by Delta Niccolo of the Scarlet Edge Pack. I was treated like a slave, which made Beta Xavier furious. Even as a human, he still fell for me in this second life of mine. This simply shows his faithfulness. He trained me to the fullest until the other packs decided to have me for their own benefit. With Beta Xavier's refusal, this created some sort of battle against one another.They all began killing each other off until it was over with Beta Xavier taking care of all the loose ends. It was just him and I. We were inseparable… until he told me what I had done for him. My actions caused a war between them both… and I ended up being killed in my sleep. This is probably why I am now living in the woods with Beta Xavier, who has been trying his best to help me regain some control over myself sinc

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
