We made our way to Logan’s office and I could feel the happiness radiating off Greg.

“I’m happy for you,” I said softly and he gave me a small smile.

         “Thanks Charlie,” he said, “I honestly didn’t think I would ever find my mate but here she is. Thank you for that.

“Why are you thanking me?”

          “Well if you never came along then you wouldn’t have met Jake and I wouldn’t have met Diana.”

At the mention of Jake my smile fell a bit but I forced it back up. If being with Jake means that Greg and Diana are happy then it’s all worth it.

“Well in that case you’re very welcome.”

    To say that Jake was upset by Greg’s decision would be an understatement and if looks could kill I would have been six feet under.When Greg was talking to Logan he pulled me outside. “What the hell did you tell him?”“Nothing,” I said trying to pull my hand out of his grasp. “You’re lying,” he spat, “I know you told him something; why else would he be taking you away?”“I didn’t tell him anything, please let me go.” “Is everything okay over here?” Greg asked as he stepped out and Jake immediately let go of my hand.“Yeah,” he nodded, “Everything is great.”Logan on the other hand was more than

    Our induction ceremony was supposed to be held in the evening but we arrived at the pack around 9 a.m. I didn’t want to face Jake and address the issue with Greg so I went to the daycare. Diana didn’t want to leave me there alone so she came with me and I felt bad for pulling her away from her time with Greg.Greg assured me it was okay and he needed to use the day to get all his things ready before the ceremony.“Do you have a dress for the ceremony?” Diana asked and I just shrugged. “I’ll just wear one of my old dresses,”“Are you insane?” she asked, “This is like the most important day of your life. You can’t wear an old dress.” “I don’t have any money to get a new one,” I

    “Did you put this on my bed?” I asked holding up the letter and he eyed it with thinly veiled annoyance. “Why would I put a letter on your bed?”“Someone’s in the house then,” I said and he scoffed, “I’m serious; someone put this on my bed.” “There is no one in this house except the both of us,” he said, “And now that you’re finally here; we have a lot to discuss.”“I don’t have time for this,” I began, “I need to call Greg.” “You will not-““Shut up!” I screamed and then I realized what I had done, “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scream.” I quic

    Logan took us to his place and throughout the ride both he and Greg kept on casting worried glances at me while Diana kept a comforting hand on my shoulder.“How did he find out she is here?” Logan asked as soon as we had all settled down in the house, “Did anyone see you when you got back to the town?” “The only people who saw us are the people who actually live in the town,” Greg said, “And as far as I know they’re all humans.”“He knew where I was from day one,” I said softly and they all turned to me, “Maybe not from day one but he found out a long time ago.” “What are you talking about?” Greg asked and I finally raised my head to look at him.“Don

    I don’t know what time I fell asleep, I was too busy staring at the four corners of the room in fear that something or someone would jump out of the shadows. I almost gave up and called Greg a few times but I fought against it.He deserves a good and peaceful moment with his mate without me interrupting it with my problems. All I’ve ever done is be a cock block; it’s just one night and I can handle it. Tiredness must have seeped in sometime later because I opened my eyes later and the first thing I felt was aching eyes a slight headache.I used the morning light to properly look around the room. It was a bit more extravagant than the one at Jake’s house with a huge vanity at one corner and a walk in closet right next to the bathroom door.The walls were painted a bright white color but there was a pale pink rug that covered the tiled floor at the foot of the bed. A flat screen TV lai

    Driving with Logan was weirdly nice. There was silence but it wasn’t the same kind of silence I had with Jake where I didn’t speak because I didn’t want to upset him so he wouldn’t hit me. It was actually comforting and it gave me enough time to watch him through the corner of my eyes.I never knew how hot it was to watch someone drive.‘Cut it out you perv.’ I yelled at my inner subconscious.When I got to the daycare I almost expected things to be weird between Diana and I but she pretended like last night never happened and we fell into a familiar pattern.“When are you baking next?” she asked from where she was changing a child’s diapers and I shrugged. “I don’t think I’m going to bake anymore.”“But why no

    Ever since that day Logan has been a whole other level of overprotective. He has guards trailing me whenever he’s not around; at least he tried by making them almost unnoticeable but I’ve had guards trail me my entire life so I noticed them on the second day. Usually I’d find it stifling but I know he’s doing it because he cares so I don’t mind it.Diana isn’t any better. When she came back that day she has been all over me. She doesn’t like to leave me alone and now it’s like I’m a little kid who has to be constantly watched. Logan watches me at the house, she watches me at work and then repeat the cycle.I did end up taking her advice and asking Logan if I could continue baking and he told me the kitchen is mine to do with as I wish. Needless to say, it has been very fun. He’s also my taste tester for all my pastries.“What are you thinking

    Greg took the box out of my lap and cursed when he saw the same thing I did- the severed head and heart of Mrs. Wiggins.I knew the image would haunt me forever. Her eyes, bloody and wide open and her mouth open forever in a silent scream. I tried but I couldn’t forget the gashes that covered her cheeks and I knew without a doubt that her death was not swift or painless. And then to top it off there was bloody pulp that used to be her kind, beating heart.Even if I tried, even if I took a thousand years; I would never forget this image. Not when it is all my fault.“This is fucking crazy,” he growled, “What the actual hell.”I broke down into loud and heartbroken sobs, unable to control my reaction and Greg pulled the cover over the box; effectively blocking out the smell that I knew I also would never forget, threw the box to the back and unbuckled my seat

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.V Adamaris and the council were able to break the bond between me and Esmeralda before finally executing her and destroying the talisman. We held Samantha’s burial the next day. It felt wrong to hold it until after Esmeralda was dead. It was so difficult for me to stand next to her body and act like it wasn’t my fault she was dead. Logan assured me no one felt that way, but I felt that way. What made it a lot harder was having to explain to Amelia that her mum was going away. She wasn’t even two yet, she didn’t understand the concept of death, and she just stayed in my arms and kept on screaming the word ‘mummy’ over and over again. Logan tried to take her away from me but she refused to let anyone else hold her. Amelia’s things were moved into our house the day after the funeral. She was a frolicky baby with a terrible sleep schedule. I attributed that to the fact that she missed her mum. Considering each time she woke up, she would ask for her mother. A lot of pe

    THIRD PERSON’S P.O.VCharlotte was mingling with the guests with a smile on her face. She had the part of being Luna down to a pat, she was sweet, respectful and paid attention to every little detail.Logan stayed behind her to give her space to talk to the people, but also close enough that he always had her in his sight. He was on edge and for good reason too; they hadn’t heard from the witch in a few days and that probably meant she was waiting for a good time to strike.A little girl walked up to Charlotte and softly tugged at the hem of her hoodie. Charlotte turned her attention to the girl with a smile on her face. She crouched down so she was at eye level with her.“Can I help you?” she asked and the girl nodded. “I was wondering how it feels to be pregnant.” Charlotte was taken aback by the question.“I don’t know; I’ll let you know when I am pregnant.”She started to rise but the girl held onto her arm with a grip that seemed too strong for a girl who looked no older

    The next twenty four hours after Adamaris got rid of the brand were entirely uneventful. I guess that should have been my clue that it was the calm before the storm.The day actually started out like any normal day. I woke up with Logan bringing me breakfast in bed, then I lay back while he ran his fingers in circles on my baby bump. I looked up at him and he gave me a small smile but his fingers never slowed.“Are we going to stay here all day?” I asked and he raised a brow. “Shouldn’t you be happy that you have a day off from all the drama?”“I am happy,” I admitted, “I was just curious as to why we haven’t moved yet.” “We don’t have anywhere to go for now,” he explained, “Do you remember the changes you approved for the school music department?” I nodded, “Well they’ve been implemented and today is the grand unveiling.”“I totally forgot about that.” “I told them to go ahead with it while you were,” he trailed off, “While you were gone.”He seemed to close off

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VWe all sat in silence while Greg sketched. Logan made tea for me while we waited. Adamaris muttered something about how chivalry is dead since Logan didn’t make one for her too. This led Logan to mutter about how witches should get their own mates to do things for them.They kept on trading back and forth quips between themselves until Greg muttered something about how he was close to stabbing his ears with his pencil. I giggled and they both shot me looks as if I had betrayed them.A little over half an hour later, Greg was done with the sketch and when I saw it, I was taken aback by how life like it looked. He got every single feature of her perfectly, from the slight crookedness of her nose to the fullness of her lips and even down to the meanness of her smirk.After staring at it for a while, I passed it on to Adamaris. She took one look at it and cursed.“Do you know her?” I asked and she nodded. “She used to be in my coven,” she said slowly as she fold

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VI woke up to Adamaris sitting on a chair cross legged and looking bored out of her mind. She had cleared up the circle of salt and moved Kaden and Aubrey to a more comfortable lying position.Logan and Evan were still knocked out on the floor in the same position and I stifled a smile. Leave it to Adamaris to let the men suffer. Aubrey and Kaden began to stir; Kaden stirred first and as if she heard him, Aubrey moved too.Aubrey sat up first and cradled her head in her hands for a few seconds. It wasn’t until she heard Kaden’s whimper that her head snapped up and she rushed to him.He buried his face into her chest while she whispered a few words in his ears, too low for even my werewolf hearing to pick up on. Kaden just nodded and gave his mum a smile.Kaden looked up and saw me and he gave me a small smile. “Hey Charlie, I’m sorry I fell asleep.” I felt my lips curl up at the sides. He turned to Adamaris and gave her a confused look, “Hello, who are you?”“That’s n

    CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VIt was Logan who snapped out of his reverie and realized that we still needed to find Adamaris a place to sleep. Thankfully, she has her house (I still don’t understand what the hell she means by that). She said that all she needs is a large expanse of land, preferably in the woods.Logan wanted me to stay home but I’m not going to let him go alone, especially since everyone is in this mess because of me. Reluctantly, he handed me one of his big, warm hoodies and I pulled it over my head.I sat in front with Logan while Adamaris and Celeste sat at the back. The drive was tense and quiet; Logan had one hand on my leg to keep me grounded because my thoughts were going haywire.Adamaris was lost in thought, her eyes were kept fixed on the window. Celeste was staring at me, not in a creepy way, but in a way that kept me alert. Occasionally, her eyes would move from my face to Logan’s hand on my thigh and back.I caught her eye through the mirror and she gave me a smile t

    Logan and I decided to make dinner together. It’s been a while since I baked anything and I was itching to get into the kitchen.It was extremely fun, especially because he kept sticking his finger into the batter for the brownies and he would always pull away before I can whack him with the spatula.When we were done, we went to our room and he sat up against the headboard while I leaned against his chest as he fed me brownies.“Were you able to get in touch with Aubrey?” I asked and he nodded. “I spoke to Evan and they’ll be here tomorrow with their son.”“He agreed to that,” I was shocked that he did, if anything, I expected Evan to put up a fight about letting their son into anther territory. “He didn’t want to at first, believe me.” he scoffed, “But then he realized that it was for his benefit, not mine. He finally agreed on the condition that he comes with guards.”“He’s a bit over protective; we would never hurt him or his son.” “I think he’s the right amount

    I sat up in alarm, “What do you mean she’s here?”“She got into my head,” his face was a calm mask but I could see the annoyance swirling in his eyes from being interrupted, “She wanted to give us time to be presentable; something about not wanting to see another wolf naked.” “For good reason too,” Adamaris strutted into the room, “I’ve been scarred enough for one lifetime.”She was wearing a black long sleeved bodysuit with skinny jeans and a huge brown jacket over it. She paired it with black high heeled boots. Her lips were painted a dark red color and her eyes were hidden behind dark shades.When she took them off, I could see deep bags under her eyes.“You don’t look good,” I began, “Is everything okay?” “That’s what happens when you’re bonded to someone who can’t seem to stay out of trouble.” Her tone was cold and sharp. “I was booted out of your head during a game with my daughter this morning; what was that about?”“I don’t know,” I looked to Logan for support, and

    There was a sharp pounding in my skull and a soft hand caressing my curls in steady strokes. I let out a small groan as I forced my eyes open.Logan was leaning over me with a soft expression on his face. His hand in my hair stilled as I stared at him. His expression alternated between anger, fierce protectiveness and worry.I took in my surroundings and realized I was in our room- well, what used to be our room anyways. The chairs were turned over and I can see glass shards at the door of the bathroom. Wood splinters were sticking out of the door and the curtains had been ripped off and somehow replaced.Logan had the decency to look a little sheepish, “I’ll fix the room; I promise.”“It’s okay,” I murmured with a wonky smile but he didn’t return it, “Hey, what’s wrong?”I tried to sit up but he stopped me, “Don’t; stay down.”“I’m fine, Logan.” I told him as I sat up. His face showed that he didn’t agree with me. “What happened?” “You blacked out,” he muttered, “I heard you and
