His kiss was perfect. I have only been kissed by one person so I really have nothing to compare it to but I don’t need comparisons to know when something is perfect.
His lips were soft against mine and his thumb caressed my face as he moved his lips softly against mine. He was letting me set the speed and didn’t push me any more than I was willing to go and I felt my belly flutter at just how thoughtful he was being.
He pulled away after a second and I was left staring at him in shock and that was when everything came barreling back to me. He is my Alpha and he has a mate. He must have seen the expression on my face because he opened his mouth to speak.
“I’m sorry,” I cut him off, “You have a mate, I should- we should never have done that.”
“Charlotte let me explain.”
<They all panicked and in their panic let go of me and I fell hard on my right shoulder and I made a muffled noise of pain. As if it heard me, the wolf’s eyes went to me and he let out a snarl.“I’ll stay and guard her,” the main guy yelled, “The rest of you should take care of that wolf.”He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and I saw the wolf lunge and take off one of the men’s heads in a second. The guy holding me saw it too and he took off in the opposite direction.He ran so fast that my stomach kept hitting his shoulder blades and I knew I would have a bruise in absolutely no time.“Get ready we need to leave right now,” he yelled as he made his way over to a black SUV. “Where are the other guys?” a voice asked.“Gett
I sat upright in a heap of sweat and trying to catch my breath. Logan was already sitting up with worry etched on his face.“Are you alright?” he asked and I shook my head not in the mood to lie to him, “Do you want to talk about it?” I shook my head again and he pursed his lips. “I’ll be fine,” I said in a croaky voice, “I just need a second.”I stood to my feet and made my way to the bathroom on shaky legs. I looked at the scared expression on my face through the mirror and I quickly washed it away. The water washed away the tired look on my face but I couldn’t wash away the memories of the dream.It started off very similar to the last one. I was in the kitchen but this time when I heard the noise I ran out the front door but instead of going into the driveway I found myself i
I think one day off was good enough for me because by the next day I felt amazing. I even woke up before Logan and managed to catch him on his way to work out. I may have ogled a bit- just a little bit.“I’m glad you’re here today,” Samantha said as she came to drop off Amelia, “This one was a little terror to the other girls yesterday.” “Are you serious?” I couldn’t help but ask and she nodded.“She wouldn’t let anyone hold her and she refused to take a nap,” she said and I looked down at the little girl who was playing with her toys.&n
He kissed me back almost immediately and I could feel the relief in his stance as he pulled me to him. He wanted me to be the one to do this, I know that now but I can’t bring myself to care.I had my hands on his shoulders and he had one hand around my waist and the other angling my chin as he took control of the kiss.He licked my bottom lip and I parted it with a small moan and he responded by sucking my tongue lightly with his own before nipping it softly and I swear if not for his body pinning me to the wall I would have fallen to the ground.He assaulted every nook, crevice and corner of my mouth with his tongue and each expert stroke elicited a different sound from me; sounds I would normally have been too embarrassed to make but now I can’t bring myself to care anymore.We pulled away for breath and I stared into his grey eyes that had been darkened by lust and the t
The children were screaming, Diana hadn’t moved from where she landed and from where I was standing I couldn’t see her, my hands were tied and Jake was pressed up so closely against me and I couldn’t push him off. He was going to rape me in front of these children and there was nothing I could do about it.“Please Jake,” I begged, “Not in front of the children.” “Don’t tell me what to do,” he growled.“You can do whatever you want,” I begged, “Just not in front of them please,” I continued, “They shouldn’t see this.” “Shut up,” he growled as he clamped his hand over my mouth. “You’re the one who enjoys working here; I’m going to ta
We endured the rest of the ride in silence and that was because I knew Logan was barely holding onto his sanity by a thread. I just put my head against the window and stared out.When he thought I wasn’t looking he would glance at me and I would see him glance at the marks on my wrist that the rope had made and clench his jaw or tighten his grip on the steering wheel.We had barely gotten through the threshold of the house when Logan stopped me.“I know you probably want to take a shower,” he began and I nodded, “But when you get out I want you to wear my shirt.” I looked down at the shirt I was wearing and back at him, “Please baby; just do it for me.”I nodded and he gave me a relieved sigh.“I’ll make something for you to eat when you get out.” He said and I muttered a quick thank you befor
I didn’t have any nightmares. In fact, I think this is the most peaceful night’s sleep I have had in a while.I woke up to my cheek pressed against a hard chest and my hand was laid flat against his abs. One of his hands rested against my shoulder while the other one was on the bare skin on my lower back, my shirt must have ridden up sometime during the night.Our legs were also tangled together. I looked up slightly and saw that Logan was still asleep and I took the time to admire his sleeping form. His lashes fanned across his cheekbones and his features looked so relaxed.I decided to gently get out of bed but I must have miscalculated how entangled we were because when I tried to move out of his embrace I accidentally brushed against the wrong or right place depending on how you saw it.In the flash of a second I was on my back and Logan was hovering over me and I let ou
CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VWhen Logan’s skin brushed mine I couldn’t help but think about what little barrier there was between the both of us. I was completely naked behind the shower stall and all he needs to do is just push the door open.Would I let him have his way with me? Who am I kidding, of course I would.Even the drive with him had a bit of tension that I had never noticed before. My thoughts were running a mile a minute and Logan noticed it too because he had to speak.“Whatever you’re thinking; don’t,” he had said, “I like to pride myself in my ironclad self-control but even iron is breakable.”His words hadn’t helped and I had to make a conscious effort to think about other things.“I can see that look on your face,” Diana teased, “What are you thinking about?” “Nothing,” I lied and she gave me a crooked grin.“You are a horrible liar,” she teased and I rolled my eyes. “You would expect that after being knocked out you would be a little bit nicer,”“Sweetheart I
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
