Abigail threw her plate onto the table where the two were sitting.The soup covered Charlotte and Mira.Mira stood up and exclaimed, "Arghhhh, what are you doing?!"Abigail hugged her chest with an angry look on her face, "What? You were allowed to vilify me behind my back, and I wasn't allowed to rebel? Do you think I'm so easy to bully?""Can you stop this nonsense?""I'm spouting nonsense? I could hear it clearly from both ears."The voice from her side quickly attracted the gazes of the passersby.Mira looked around worriedly and said, "Just now, Charlotte was angry because you gave so much work to her. That's why she said a few bad things about you, but she didn't have any bad intentions.”Charlotte raised her eyes and looked at Mira in disbelief."Charlotte, what kind of person are you? You still have to lie about me right in front of me?"Charlotte stood up and looked at Abigail with her arms crossed. "I wonder how a brainless person like you got into this company.”"What did y
What happened?” Derek asked over the phone.“Abigail, right here, is bullying me!”In the middle of a meeting, Derek felt his blood boiling. “Alright! I'm on my way,” he said as he stood up and walked out of the meeting.In less than a minute, Derek was at the door of the department. The moment he walked in, it felt like the air stopped for a minute. He had this majestic aura that spelled out authority like that of a medieval king. Everywhere went so silent that you could hear a pin drop.The sight of him made Abigail tremble, lose balance, and fall, while the others just froze.Charlotte, for the very first time, felt proud. A perfect tycoon like him answered her in less than a minute and is always there for her. This thought made her face flush.“President!” Abigail said.Derek looked at her coldly and then turned to Charlotte, “what happened?” His deep, husky, seductive voice echoed in the room.“She tried to get me fired using Mr. Smith to get me fired,” Charlotte narrated.At thi
Pang! He felt his car hit someone. Startled, he emerged from the car to find Charlotte, who had been hit by his car.“Charlotte! Charlotte!” he exclaimed as he ran over to her, shaking.“Ethan!” Charlotte weakly replied, covered in her own blood.“Charlotte, you'll be okay, I promise to do everything to…” Before Ethan could finish, he was shoved aside by Derek. “Get out, you bastard,” Derek commanded, looking at Charlotte, who was barely conscious. “Charlotte, don’t worry! Everything will be fine!” Derek reassured her.“I don’t want to die!” Charlotte repeated tearfully before passing out.He gently carried her to his car, but as he was about to leave, Ethan stopped him and asked, “Where are you taking her?”Derek looked at him coldly and replied, “What do you care? When I’m done with Charlotte, I promise to tear you limb from limb!” He entered his car and ordered, “Hurry to the company’s hospital!”In a few minutes, they arrived at the company’s hospital. Upon seeing Derek carry a bl
Charlotte knew that Derek was always dominating, but somehow he was sweet this time around. He would wake Charlotte up with breakfast in bed. She wasn’t allowed to do anything except lie on the balcony and read some books while basking in the sun.If she wanted to go out, she had to be carried downstairs by Derek.He had been doing this for the past six days since Charlotte got discharged, claiming she hadn’t fully recovered. Charlotte got angry and bored at the same time but could not vent it out because she knew he was just taking care of her.At times, anytime Charlotte tries to complain, Derek doesn’t fail to plant his sweet tongue into her mouth, making Charlotte unable to resist. This man,had too much control over his desires.Vincent came to join Charlotte on the balcony. While she was listening to the breeze, he was eating pop corn He said to her, "Sister, are you okay?”Charlotte looked at him and smiled, “I’m fine.”“Aren’t you bored?” He proceeded.“Oh! Yes, Vincent, I am so
Charlotte looked worried; what was going on? “Why?” he asked over the phone.“All right, I will be there right away!” he declared, abruptly standing up as if preparing to leave.At this point, Charlotte was worried; what could be happening? What is going on?He ended his call.“Derek, what is going on?” Charlotte asked, her voice almost a whisper.“It’s Rebecca. She has found something about the birth of Ethan.”At this point, Charlotte’s heart was beating so fast Derek should be able to hear it. The truth is finally out. Who could it be that her mum had an affair with before she met James Lockwood? Is he still alive? Did he abandon her? How then did they separate? What is going on? so many questions running through her head, “Ethan? What is it?” she asked, her eyes filled with worry.“I don’t know anything right now, Charlotte, but I need to meet her at the neareast restaurant. She says it’s urgent,” Derek replied, almost impatiently.“Let me go with you,” her eyes almost pleading as
"Father!" Rebecca murmured.Charlotte frowned upon seeing James and Ethan as she held the files."Rebecca! When did you come back?" James roared in disbeliefRebecca chuckled, rolling her eyes as she folded her arms across her breast, "Like you care."Derek held Charlotte’s hand and squeezed it lightly to calm her down, reminding her that he was always there for her.James only looked at Charlotte and didn’t say a word. He then turned to Rebecca. "Rebecca, let’s go home.""Home?" Rebecca smirked. "My home is with the Millers now, and nowhere else.""Rebecca! What has he done to you?" He yelled at her furiously, hitting his crutches.Rebecca yelled back, her voice shaking. "You made me suffer, tortured me, and abandoned me when I needed you the most. You turned your back on me." Tears were already flowing from her. "How could you? I couldn’t change who I am, yet you took advantage of that vulnerability but the Millers saved me. How dare you think you can control me now? How dare you th
They all went home, and as Rebecca couldn’t stop crying, Derek ordered the maid to put sleeping pills in her water to drink. Charlotte, who couldn’t get her mind off things, went to the garden to water the flowers, something to at least keep her occupied. However, Derek suddenly wrapped his arms around Charlotte and wouldn’t release her from his embrace. He grabbed her cheeks and pressed his lips against hers with violent passion.Charlotte enjoyed kissing Derek because he was always so caring towards her, plus he exuded a unique charm and aura.“Derek!” She exclaimed.“Give me a kiss, Charlotte,” he requested.“Is that really important right now?”“Your kiss is where I draw my energy from, and after today’s drama, I am so exhausted.”Charlotte turned around and threw away the watering can. Atop the beautiful balcony blooming with roses, she wrapped her arms around Derek tightly as she returned his passionate kiss, allowing her tongue to become intertwined with his. Derek pressed her
Charlotte watched Alex as he drove away, feeling a mix of frustration and disappointment at his behavior. He seemed incredibly ridiculous and pathetic. Starting the car, she headed home, eager to see Derek.Passing by a store, she decided to pick up something sweet for Derek, wanting to show him her appreciation and express how much she loved him.Upon arriving home, she inquired about Derek's whereabouts from the maids. They informed her that he was in Rebecca’s room, who had just woken up.Hurrying to Rebecca’s room, she found the door partially open and entered without knocking.“Rebecca,” she said softly as she entered the room.Rebecca was seated upright on the bed, a tray of food placed in front of her on a stool. Derek stood by the window, engrossed in a phone call. He seemed unaware of Charlotte's presence. Rebecca appeared a bit pale as Charlotte approached her. “Charlotte?” she called out.Sitting beside her, Charlotte took her hands in hers. “How are you feeling?” she asked
“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
