Charlotte’s POV
"Huh Finally! I have nothing to add on " , I said as I stared at my reflection in the mirror . . . I had already clad up in a beautiful laced short black dress. I strutted out of my room and hailed a cab. When i got in front of my destination, A smile was plastared on ny lips before I struttered out of the car and made my way to a cream apartment, bursting open the door and opening my mouth to call for Alex, but stopped dead in my tracks. As soon as I walked inside I see a pair of high heels and a handbag by the door – neither of which belong to me. “Who the hell is he….” I immediately trailed off in mid sentence when I walked a bit closer and for what I witnessed made my mouth to instantly fall open and my eyes to pop out of my eyes. I cock my ears towards the bedroom, and my stomach churns when I hear the unmistakable sound of moaning, accompanied by a steady thump thump thump, as the bed collides with the wall. Worse even than realizing that Alex is clearly in there with another woman, is realizing who he’s with. I know that handbag, and I know those shoes – they belong to my best friend, Mia “No!” I kept saying unbelievably, shaking my head in denial and letting my curiosity to take over, I moved a bit closer and lastly my eyes fell on them I watched them as they fucked each other " Oh !.... Ahh !....yes I’m gonna cum, Oh ! Gosh, Alex….oh ! Oh , ! Oh ! Yes " , Mia' s screams sounded like a song to my ears. “A…A…Alex!” I called gently almost like a whisper, my voice breaking with tears dancing on my face, this was honestly too much to bare for me. “Alex!” I called again, this time louder As soon as he heard my voice, his eyes instantly flashed opened and then pushed away Mia aside, “Charlotte! Why are you here?” He sounded with his voice full of shock and awe. I tried to hold my tears but seeing mia’s naked body beside him made my tears to well more on my face. “Uhnnn!” With the tears dancing on my face, I took to my heels, not wanting to have anything to do with the crazy bastard! Alex had put on his clothes and immediately stomped out to chase after me, “Charlotte! Charlotte! Wait up!” He said catching up with me, and trying to touch me by the shoulders, when he did, I planted a hard slap on his cheeks, “Charl?” He said walking away from me with few steps. “How could you Alex?” I said with my trembling lips “I can explain!” He replied trying to hold my hands “Do not touch me!” I said pushing him off, “I don’t want to hear any fucking explanation from you!” He looked behind me, and I followed his gaze to see Mia standing in a corner away, with a face of guilt, “You can continue with your nonsense!” I told her particularly, “I’m out of this!” I replied walking away from him and not bothering to even take a second glaze at him!” He tried to run towards me, But i immediately signaled to a cab, got in and ordered him to drive off. I watched him and mia through the rear view mirror as they stood there staring at the cab passing, with a feeling of guilt. Since i had nothing to do or want to see anyone, I headed straight to the near by silent club. With what i had just witnessed, i really wanted to get my mind off the image of my best friend, Mia and boyfriend, Alex, oh! Sorry, Exes! I made my way to the bartender, and said without any pleasantries, “Get me one full glass of wine!” I ordered as i sat down on the high leather stool. “What type of wine do you want, Miss” “The best, strongest wine you got!” I replied which he immediately poured the wine into a cup, the scent was so strong to my nostrils but i choose to ignore. He barely poured the wine in the cup, when i grabbed the cup and gulped it down as if it was a sweet juice, “Get me another now!” I ordered as i placed the glass of wine down He looked at me, surprised but instantly did as he was told. He poured me another, and I gulped it down with the same intensity. After pouring me the third glass, he looked at me and stopped,”Miss, isn’t this enough?” “What the fuck is your business! Pour me another one, in fact i need the whole freaking bottle!” I said taking the whole bottle from him and pouring it straight into my mouth. I placed the wine down and stared at the half content left, feeling drunk, yet i can still remeber what happened, the moans, the facial expressions, the nakedness, the laughter! Everything! I stared at the wine remembering how Alex and I first met, how he would also send sweet messages and flowers to me. Telling me that he loves me everytime. I had gone to visit him so we could bond together, and i meet…so he never even loved me. “Why isn’t this wine working?” I yelled with tears in my eyes, “Get me another glass of wine!” I ordered feeling so misrable The bartender gave me another glass of wine just like i ordered and I gulped it down again. ‘Alex never did love me!’ I thought, he never cared about me. After the scene i saw with Mia, I don’t want to have anything to do with both of them again! They can all go to hell! I poured the wine into a glass of cup and as i was gulping it, a man i didn’t know walked over and stood next to me, what captivated me most was the fine, attractive and expensive suit that he wore. He looked at the bottle of wine right in front of me and didn’t even bother to look at me, I din’t really see his face, due to my gaze half closed, but one thing i notice is that, He had this dirty blonde spiky hair, pink lips and a nice jawline. As i was about to take my leave, I heard a voice directed at me, “why would a lady like you be drinking so much?” He said grinning mischeviously, “You know, I can be your company if you want!”"I do not need company!" I retorted as I stood up to leave. He smirked. "Let me take you back to your dormitory." "No!" I cried. "I don't want to go back there! I hate everyone. I hate everyone!" My voice broke as tears streamed down my face. "Let me take you to my penthouse, then, since you don't want to go home." He said mischievously I hesitated, "Fine," I mumbled, wiping away tears. "Just get me out of here, make me forget him. Please, make me forget everything!" I pleaded. "Come on," he said gently, guiding me out of the bar and into his to his car. The ride was a silent one as i was barely awake all through. We arrived at his luxurious penthouse, and he disappeared inside, briefly, returning with a cup. "Here," he said softly, sitting next to me. Just what I needed—water. I took the cup and drank more than half of it. He brushed a strand of hair from my face. "You look so beautiful." "I feel so sad," I muttered feeling extreme pain "You won't feel that way tonight," h
By the time I realized that I had entered Derik Miller's car, it was too late. Again, I had acted impulsively, only to regret it afterward. Without hesitation, I followed through with my rash decision, leaving Alex and Mia standing there. "Are you stalking me now?" I asked this cold and silent man sitting beside me, "Take me to Boulevard now or I will sue you for being a perv." "Do as this lady says." He ordered his driver who responded with a bow Remorse filled me, I regretted my impulsive actions and now I had lost Alex, my best friend Mia, and my virginity. With a heavy heart, I knew that yesterday was indeed the worst day of my life. It was when he gave me a towel, that I had realized tears were gushing from my eyes "Thank You," I said as I followed his gaze down to my muddy shoes. "I promise Mr Miller, I'll clean your car, I'm sorry for making a mess." "I will appreciate that." He replied coldly The next few minutes' drive was a silent one until we finally got to B
Third Person POV "What? You will what?" "I will raise my child." His eyes beamed authority "No." Charlotte began to feel scared. She didn't want Derik to lay claim on her baby at all, neither does she want her child to be called a bastard "Please, Mr. Miller, let me go away with this Child." I said as my voice began to shake "If I have to kidnap you, then I would Charlotte. Do you understand?" Charlotte made no reply, the words had gone down her heart. 'Is this really happening to me? Is my Mother's fate going to resurface?' She thought The next ride was a silent drive. Derik got to the school and Charlotte got out of the car. She didn't know what to say but one thing is for sure, she was not giving the baby up. She turned around and walked towards the school. But not long after she walked, she heard something nearby, someone shouted "Charlotte?"She looked to the other side of the school gate. There was a Bugatti parked by the road beside that car door a tall and handsome man
Charlotte's POV Who could have thought I would ever reveal my true identity to anyone, a secret I had sworn not to expose. And now, I'm saying this to Mr. Miller. "You are what?" his voice so domineering. I turned my face down, unable to meet his gaze. "I beg you, Mr. Miller, let me run away with my baby." "Your baby? Don't make this more difficult than it already is, Charlotte. Why don't you give my child to me, and you can leave. I will pay you a huge amount of money, enough to sustain you for a lifetime." "What?" I was shocked by Derik's statement "I'm offering my child a life full of luxury, can't you see? Tell me, Charlotte, what do you have to give the child, huh? What do you have other than your pride? You take up several jobs to feed yourself. When you give birth, will you keep doing that? Oh! Do you think Ethan Lockwood will help you Willingly?." He chuckled "He will offer to sleep with you and you will willingly give yourself to him because you are a slut!" He barely f
Charlotte awoke to the sound of a machine beeping in an unfamiliar room, her body throbbing with pain. "Arghhhh! Where am I?" she muttered, placing her hand on her forehead, attempting to piece together her shattered memory. "You're in the hospital, are you okay?" a familiar voice asked. "Argggh!" Suddenly, she remembered what happened. "My child!" she exclaimed, realization dawning. "How is my baby?" "Charlotte, take it easy," Derik said, his tone heavy with sadness. "Mr. Miller, is my child okay?" "The baby is gone," Derik disclosed, his heart broken, his breath heavy with the weight of the burden he carried. "What do you mean, gone?" she asked, trying to comprehend his words. "You were bleeding," he explained simply. "No!" she shook her head, unable to accept that her first child was gone. "No," she repeated countless times, refusing to believe the news, screaming and yelling in anguish over her lost child. Charlotte couldn't bear it anymore. She pulled the drip
Charlotte, pushed to the front of her father, who sat in a wheelchair, by two men, wore a face filled with rage. "The esteemed Mr. Lockwood is truly capable. He can even stoop to kidnapping in broad daylight," she said. Upon releasing her, the men let her feet touch the ground. Despite being in pain, she stood resolutely. James waved his hand, and the men departed. He coldly ordered, "Take a seat." "No, thanks." "Are you trying to annoy me?" "I've already said it, my name is Charlotte Jenner." "Even with the surname Jenner, you still have Lockwood blood." "That's why I always feel sick. Why did you summon me here?" "Why are you with Derik Miller?" He asked coldly. "It's my business." "What? Are you in need of money? Is that why you got pregnant by him?" He chuckled. "You fool!" Charlotte glared at him, feeling judged by her biological father for associating with the wealthy for financial gain. Heh, how laughable. "You didn't inherit any good traits from your mother, only
It was 9pm at the bar, Charlotte's Night shift. She was wearing a suit and was shuttling through the crowd. She was ordering wine, delivering orders, and her legs were nimble. Amongst the crowd, she was exceptionally eye-catching. She had a tall ponytail, a pretty face, and a slim figure. Even though she was wearing a conservative work uniform, she could still be noticed at first glance.It was because of this that she was often stopped by guests who did not follow the rules and asked how much they wanted for a night, just like now. A short, pot belly middle aged man came to her as usual like other men. She glanced at him with a smile, "Sir, I'm sorry. I'm just a waiter here." "Pfft, what are you pretending to be so Honorable for? you just need to accompany me to the room tonight." "I'm afraid, I'm not into men sir" "What do you mean," the man said, glaring at her "No, I'm telling you, I like women." she said with a smile The man was stunned for a moment. According to h
Derik chuckled "Well, my mother used to bring me here to listen to the peaceful sound of the sea," she continued "noone comes here. Every time I feel sad, I will come here to sit for a while. This place is very peaceful place.As long as I sit here with the sea breeze, listen to the sound of the sea, and look at the beautiful night sky, I feel that life is still pretty good, and the future is still pretty promising, don't you think?" Derik didn't say anything but listened attentively as she spoke. she looked so beautiful with a lot of problems. He felt she was just too delicate and frigal for everything she has been going through and for the first time, He wanted to help her. she chuckled, "I shouldn't be saying this. Oh! look, the sky is so beautiful" she pointed above her head and he raised his head to look at the brautiful night sky. He raised his eyebrows. "How did you find me anyway?" she asked after a while, how did you know i was going to be at the bar?" "I needed to
“Mom?” she managed to utter in disbelief with a trembling voice. “Is that really you, Mom?” Charlotte’s mind was clouded. That was definitely Sophie, her mom whom she thought had died years ago, standing right here in front of her. How could that be? What happened? She was so confused. This can't be real. Immediately, Sophie transformed into a human and looked at Charlotte. Charlotte gasped in shock. This wasn’t happening. Her mom was standing right in front of her, her precious mom. “No!” she muttered, shaking her head in disbelief. "But how… How are you here?" she muttered with trembling lips. Charlotte’s legs wobbled at the confirmation of the sight in front of her. She fell to her knees and felt like collapsing due to shock. Sophie’s softened gaze turned to her daughter. “Hello, Charlotte. It’s been so long!” Nathan stood in bewilderment. It was just unbelievable for him too. He thought she was dead. He mourned her death, and she... Is he being delusional? “How?” Charlotte i
"I will kill Derek for you!" she declared. Nathan's heart pounded. He clenched his fists, trying to maintain his composure. "You think I'd trust you?" Jessica coughed weakly, she grinned evily and mischievously, "You don't have to trust me. Just think about it. With Derek out of the way, nothing stands between you and Charlotte. This is similar to what happened years ago with James, and there were no consequences then." Nathan's mind raced. The thought of finally being with Charlotte, free from any obstacles, was tempting. But making a deal with Jessica? It's like dancing with the devil. "Why would you want to help?" "I need your blood to heal, Nathan," Jessica continued. "You help me, and I help you. Simple as that." Isaac stepped forward and whispered just loud enough for Jessica to hear, "Nathan, do you seriously want to trust her? She's manipulative; she isn’t someone who can be trusted!" Nathan glanced at his brother, knowing he was right. But the prospect of eliminating D
Nathan sat alone in his dimly lit office. He stared blankly at his desk. Slowly, he rose and walked to a drawer, opened it with a creak. Inside lay a small, ornate box. He moved to the window, and opened the box, lifting out a necklace. He held the necklace, and remembered, how his mum's words to him. He remembered his mother’s frail hands placing the necklace in his hands, "This has been in our family for generations. Keep it safe.” she whispered, with a mixture of sorrow and pride. The necklace is a family heirloom that had been passed down through the women in his mother’s family. He had promised to keep it safe until he met his one and only mate, Charlotte, whom his heart had always longed for ever since he met her years ago.when he met his other mate, whom died, It was unbelievable He had gone to the coronation of a wolf who was to be crowned Alpha, when he heard his wolf Ragner growled wolf, it unbelievable, because a king as never had two mates before and meeting he
"Hello, Charlotte, how are you feeling?" Nathan's deep voice interrupted as he walked into the room with his expression serious "How are you feeling?"Charlotte looked at Nathan, then back at Derek, her mind still spinning with confusion and of the recent events. "Nathan, what happened to me? Derek said I transformed... but I don’t understand how or why."Nathan sighed, sitting down beside her bed. "Charlotte, your transformation was unexpected. It seems the Silver Moon Pack holds more secrets than we realized."Charlotte tried to process his words, a mix of fear and surprise, washing over her. "But why now? Why didn’t this happen before?""Sometimes, the first transformation is triggered when your loved one is in danger," Nathan explained gently. "It’s rare, considering the fact that you were born from the great and powerful Sophie Jenner!" He explained, standing and folding his arms, looking more agile."How could that be?"Derek was confused, trying to process whatever Nathan said.
'What the hell,' Derek muttered in panic as he stepped back in fear.I opened my eyes, wondering what he saw to sound so amazed, but I was stunned by what I saw.I looked around for my figure. I was lost.I couldn't find myself anymore. In my place was a tall, big white wolf.I gasped as I saw the figure, Is this me?I tried to speak, but it came out as a whimper.Anger surged through me as I locked eyes with Jessica, who was trying to escape with Aiden. The audacity!Before I knew it, I was moving, my body was driven by rage, and I launched myself at Jessica. She barely had time to react, stumbling backward as I slashed at her.Jessica's eyes were wide with terror as I immediately launched at her in annoyance. Nathan, within the blink of an eye, grabbed Aiden away from Jessica.I growled at her with my green amber eyes shining dangerously, and as I looked at a corner, standing there was Derek.Derek remained in shock, unable to move. His eyes were glued to my transformation, but I co
Bella’s POV"What is wrong with her?" Derek’s voice, filled with worry, lamented. I tried to speak, but my tongue felt jammed and glued to the roof of my mouth.I couldn't speak, but I could hear everything loud and clear.I looked down at my chest, thinking the loud thumping was from my heart, but it wasn't. There were numerous heartbeats and murmurs. Everyone spoke at once, and I could hear it all.What I found strange was how loudly I could hear their heartbeats. What is going on with me?My body moved on its own, twisting and turning in strange directions.Jessica gasped, shaking her head vigorously in disbelief, repeating “No!”Nathan and Derek stood there, looking at me with utter surprise, Derek’s jaw dropping, “What is happening?”I screamed as my body suddenly twisted, making me bend. I looked at my hand and gasped as my nails were extremely long and strange-looking."Help her!" Derek screamed.Nathan summoned all his strength and broke the chains. You could tell he was in de
Charlotte couldn't believe her ears. “What is going on?” she said, her voice filled with disbelief.Jessica smirked. “You heard that correctly.”“No, I know he is heartless, but he would never do such a thing. He would never kill a soul!” Charlotte's voice broke. "Jessica, you're lying! My father wouldn't—"Jessica interrupted, her voice dripping with malice. "Believe what you want, Charlotte, but the truth remains. Your precious father was a murderer,” she turned to Derek, “he killed your brother."Nathan, still struggling against the chains, growled, "Jessica, this vendetta of yours ends now. Let Aiden go, or I swear—""You swear what, Nathan?" Jessica taunted, stepping closer to Aiden, “You have no power here. Not anymore."In a flash, Derek lunged at Jessica, but she was quicker, pulling Aiden back just in time. The room filled with tension as Derek stopped, his eyes burning with desperation."Please, Jessica," Charlotte pleaded, tears flowing freely. "He's just a baby. Don't puni
The celebration for Aiden's arrival last night had turned into a nightmare.Nathan paced the floor of the meeting room with his mind racing. His usual calm demeanor had been replaced by anger and fierce determination. "We need to move quickly," he said. "Every moment we waste is a moment Jessica gets further away with Aiden."Charlotte stood beside Derek, her eyes red from crying. "We can't let her get away with this," she said, "Aiden needs us."Derek nodded. "We'll find him, Charlotte. We will!"Nathan turned to his beta, Austin, who had just entered the room. "Austin, have you assembled the team?"Austin nodded. "Yes, King Nathan. They're ready and waiting for your command.""Good," Nathan replied. "We leave immediately."---Nathan, Austin, Derek, and Charlotte moved along with a few guards. Charlotte had insisted on going, even though they had advised her to stay put.Nathan led the way with keen intensity, Derek and Charlotte following closely, filled with fear and hope.As they
As the sun set, casting a warm glow over the pack's territory, Nathan and Austin made their way to the dining hall where the celebration for Aiden's arrival was in full swing. Inside, Derek, Charlotte, and Vincent were already seated, enjoying the festive atmosphere."King Nathan, join us," Vincent called out respectfully.Nathan took a seat beside Charlotte. "Thank you for the gifts, Nathan," she said warmly. "They were very thoughtful.""Anything for the little one," Nathan replied, glancing at Aiden nestled in Charlotte's arms. Derek watched Nathan closely.While everyone seemed to be enjoying the occasion, Nathan didn’t appear to be having a good time. He kept gulping down his wine. His beta, Austin, sitting next to him, couldn't help but stare with a look of hurt and frustration. It was obvious that Nathan wanted to get drunk, but a wolf getting drunk would require at least two thousand of the strongest wines.Derek noticed Nathan's unease but pretended not to as they all kept la
