“Wait a minute... are you pregnant, Charlotte?” Charlotte's face paled as she struggled to find her voice. "I... I don't know," she stammered. The possibility had never crossed her mind until now. Her thoughts raced back to that night—the intimacy, the forgotten precautions. "Charlotte, when was the last time you had your period?" Rebecca asked gently. Charlotte's mind went blank for a moment. She tried to recall the dates, but everything seemed hazy. "I think it's been over two month," she whispered, more to herself than to Rebecca. Rebecca reached out and grabbed Charlotte's hand. "We need to find out for sure. Let's get a test. Come on, I'll go with you."Charlotte and Rebecca walked to the nearest pharmacy in silence. The usually short distance felt longer than usual. Charlotte’s heart pounded with uncertainty. In the store, they found the pregnancy tests. Rebecca handed one to Charlotte without a word. They paid quickly and left, the small box feeling heavy in Charlotte's hands
"Derek!" she muttered."We have to go! Tomorrow we will look for him," Rebecca said."Rebecca, that's Derek!""Charlotte! Get a grip on yourself," Rebecca said harshly as she shook her by the shoulders. "We will talk to him! For now, we need to get you to the hotel to rest! You shouldn't stress yourself, Charlotte. It's not good for the baby, okay? Come on!"Charlotte reluctantly took her bag, feeling a part of her leave with Derek as he drove off.At the hotel, Rebecca guided Charlotte to their room, helping her settle into one of the armchairs by the window. "Here, drink this," Rebecca said, handing Charlotte a glass of water."It’ll help you calm down."Charlotte took a sip, her hands trembling slightly. "I can't believe it was him so easily. After all these months...""I know," Rebecca said, sitting across from her. "It’s a shock. But you need to focus on staying calm. For you and the baby."Charlotte nodded, wiping away her tears. "What if he doesn’t want to see me? What if he’s
"Hello, love!" She turned to look; it was Jessica.Charlotte froze, her breath catching in her throat as she saw Jessica smirking at her, the same malicious glint in her eyes as before."Jessica!” she stammered. "What are you doing here?"Jessica folded her arms across her chest. "What are you doing here?"Charlotte straightened her shoulders, trying to muster her courage. “I should be asking you that, Jessica. Shouldn’t you be rotting in jail?”Jessica laughed, a cold, mocking sound. "Oh, you poor thing. Did you think I would stay there for long? Do you really think you can go against me? You are nothing! Accept that and stay away from Derek!”“You are so disgusting, Jessica! How dare you? What's so disgraceful about going after your ex when you are married to his brother? If there is one thing I want to learn from you, it is not moving on!”Jessica's smirk widened as she stepped closer to Charlotte, her eyes narrowing with malice. "You really think you can talk to me like that? You
Derek's eyes widened in shock at the news of Charlotte's pregnancy. He stood there for a moment, processing the information, his mind racing with emotions. The room seemed to close in around him, the air thick with tension and uncertainty. "Pregnant... with my child?" Derek finally spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. The words felt foreign and heavy in his mouth, a reality he wasn't prepared to face. “Yes, brother! Whatever you are doing, you have to make it quick!” Rebecca's voice was urgent, pulling him back to the present. He could see the worry etched on her face “I….I…” Derek stammered, opening and closing his mouth like a fish, short of words. His thoughts were a chaotic mess. How would Charlotte have felt when he said those hurtful words to her? What would he do now? Would he tell her to wait for him so she wouldn’t feel hurt? Or should he let things play out naturally until all this was over? She must hate him now. “Derek!” Rebecca’s voice snapped him back to reality
Back at the hotel, Rebecca stomped in with a bit of fear as she entered the room. Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat as she stared at her. “Rebecca, what happened?” she asked, looking genuinely concerned. “Are you okay? What about your friend? Did you guys talk?”“Yes, I’m okay!” Rebecca said, rushing over to their box. “We have to leave now!” she said hastily, walking towards the door without waiting for Charlotte’s reply.“What is going on? You went to visit your friend and now you stomp in here, panting like a…a…. Are you okay?” So many thoughts were running through Charlotte’s mind. Is she really okay? Who did she talk to? What did they say? Why is she so desperate to leave all of a sudden?“Charley! I promise, I will explain everything to you when the time is right! For now, we have to get you out of here!” Rebecca said, trying to conceal her real feelings.“No! I am not moving from here until you tell me what’s wrong,” Charlotte said firmly.Rebecca sighed. “Please don’t do this,
Rebecca arrived in Paris on time and returned to lodge at the same hotel where she and Charlotte had stayed. She needed to tell Derek something, but how could she do it without annoying Jessica? She took out her phone and searched for information about vampires and their qualities. She further searched for their only way to die and saw it boldly and clearly written, “ONLY A WOLF BITE CAN KILL VAMPIRES!”She sighed at this result. Wolfsbane? How on earth would she be able to get a wolf? Before she could snap out of her thoughts, her phone rang—it was Charlotte!She heaved a heavy sigh upon seeing Charlotte's name flash across her phone and picked it up. “Rebecca! Sister!” Charlotte and Vincent sounded worried on the phone.“Where are you, Rebecca?” Charlotte continued.Rebecca finally opened her lips to talk, “I...I...am...something urgent came up, Charlotte! I promise I will tell you once I am back.”“Rebecca, I want you to answer me truthfully,” Charlotte started, “it wasn’t your fri
“Ahhhh! No, please! Jessica, please!” Rebecca cried out, with her cracking “Please don’t do this, I beg of you!” “I will do much worse, honey. I will feed you wolfsbane daily so you can die a slow death!” “No!” Rebecca shook her head, feeling scared. “No! Don’t do that, please!” Jessica smirked evilly. “You are so goddamn stupid, Becca, and that is why James, your crazy crazy father, locked you up for days. You fucking bitch, tests!” She shook her head in disgust while Rebecca begged miserably. “After everything you have been through, you still think you can defeat me? Your fucking bitch was once a wolf!” she yelled as she stared at her in disgust. “But thanks to me, your father locked you up because you are an abomination. But what did you do?” She pulled Rebecca’s hair and whispered into her ear, “You ran away and became a miller! You spent most of your life here in Paris, fell in love with one of my men who gave you wolfsbane daily for three freaking years, and now your wolf
“Werewolf!” Charlotte looked at him in surprise. “Werewolf?” He looked away. “It’s nothing!” he said quickly, avoiding her gaze. “Rebecca!” Charlotte called as she walked around, checking the restroom and every corner. The worry in her voice was palpable. “Tell me more about your sister. Perhaps I can help you find her. Do you have any information or pictures?” Charlotte took a deep breath. “I think I have a picture of her,” she replied, bringing out her phone and scrolling to find the photo. “Here you go!” He took the phone and looked at the picture keenly, but his thoughts were interrupted when Charlotte asked, “Have you seen her before?” He cleared his throat and looked away. “No, I haven’t.” “Oh God, what do I do then?” she said, concern evident in her eyes. “Please, can you help me find her?” she pleaded. “No! I don’t think that’s a good idea. I think you should leave!” Nathan said in his deep, husky, commanding voice. “No! I can’t. You can leave if you want, b
“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
