In Between The Alphas 93
CHARLOTTE’S P.O.VI don’t know when I dozed off but Logan jerked into a sitting position and successfully roused me from my sleep. I sat up in alarm but he curled an arm around my shoulders keeping me in place. The room is completely dark because he turned out the lights earlier and even with my werewolf senses I can’t see anything.“What’s going on?” I asked but he held up a hand so I can be quiet. “Who’s there?”“Relax; I’m not going to hurt her.” A very familiar voice said and my brows furrowed, “But it’s funny to think that if I wanted to you would be able to stop me.”What is Adamaris doing here?Logan let out a growl, “Relax Logan,” I whispered but he wasn’t easing up so I turned to the source of the voice, “Don’t antagonize him. It’s not very nice of you.”I heard a snap and the lights came on. She stood there in all of her glory wearing a floor length black tulle skirt and a black long sleeved shirt. She paired it with a huge coat and black ballet flats. Her raven dark

You could have heard a razor drop from how silent the room became. Nobody dared to move or speak, we were all processing her words.“I’m sorry,” it was Diana who broke the silence, “Did you just say baby?” “Yes I did.” Adamaris turned to me, “You didn’t know.”“I’m not-,” I began then exhaled sharply, “How do you know that?” “We’re bonded remember,” she cracked a small smile, “When the witch tried to pry your mind open I had to jump in to defend you and then I felt another aura mixed with yours- it was pretty weak so at first I didn’t think anything of it but when I saw you I felt it again. I thought you knew.”“I didn’t,” I forced the knot in my throat back down, “Do you have an idea how- how far along I am?” “Charlotte-,” Logan’s voice was soft.“It’s a question Logan.” I turned to Adamaris, “Do you?” “I’m a witch not a doctor. And the aura isn’t that strong yet so it can be anything as little as a week or as far a month. Anything I say will probably not be

The doctor’s appointment was set for 12 and by 11:58 I was ready to hightail it out of the hospital parking lot. I’m terrified to know the truth- I know Logan says he will love this child but we all say things until we’re faced with reality and I don’t want to see the disappointment on his face when he realizes he is going to have to take care of someone else’s child.“We don’t have to do this.” He cast a sideways glance at me, “We can go home and watch a movie or something.” “No,” I shook my head, “I need to know or I’m just going to worry about it.”“I’ll be right there with you.” He assured me.I finally stepped out of the car and let him lead me into the hospital. We were about three minutes late but the doctor didn’t seem to mind.She was a short plump woman. She had her salt and pepper hair tied up in a bun and really kind blue eyes. She gave me an itchy blue hospital gown to change into and showed me to the bathroom where I could do so. She looked so familiar that I star

Logan looked over me in alarm. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing, I’m fine. We were just talking.” “I felt your hurt through the bond.” He took slow steps towards me, “Are you okay?”I nodded, “I was just telling her about the doctor’s visit.” Tears pooled in my eyes, “And now I’m crying; I didn’t want to cry.”I buried my face in his shirt and he wrapped his arms around me, “Do you want to go home?”“I just wanted to have a normal day.” I muttered “You’re allowed to have an off day after what we just heard.” He had a possessive hand at the back of my head and the other rubbed circles down my back, “Do you want me to take you home?”“I don’t want to go home yet.” “Do you want me to stay here with you?” I thought about it for a second before nodding, “Okay.”He kissed my head before taking off his jacket and leaving him in jeans and a plain shirt. He draped the jacket over one of the chairs then sat against the wall and pulled me into his side.Diana watched us in silence

“She scares you,” Logan said but Adamaris kept her face neutral, “Why?”She swallowed deeply, “I’ll see you in a week.” Without another word she left the office and I turned to Logan.“What do you think she’s so scared of?” “I don’t know,” he admitted, “But don’t worry about it. Let’s go see our other guests.”I followed him to the meeting room where Aubrey and her mate were waiting. As soon as he opened the door my eyes found Aubrey.She looks exactly the same as when I last saw her in those woods. Her chestnut colored hair fell in waves across her back and her coffee eyes were warm. She was dressed in casual jeans and a beautiful floral top paired with a jeans jacket.“You look just like you did the last time I saw you.” She nodded in my direction, “Only less terrified.” “You look the same way too,” I said, “Only cleaner.”Her lips pulled up in a smile, “We didn’t have much time to converse the last time. I hope Greg treated you well.”“He was good to me.” “He be

“Let me get this straight.” Jake sat on our couch. “Aubrey is getting attacked because of you two.”We spent the last ten minutes explaining what is happening to them without mentioning their son of course.“Why would someone attack her for helping you two?” Diana asked, “Hunter is- unavailable for the time being. So who could this be?” “I think it might be the witch who was with him.” I offered.“That’s plausible but we don’t know she is.” Diana reminded me, “How do we fight an enemy that we don’t even know.” “I don’t know but I hate this.” I murmured, “Whoever it is has the advantage of surprise on their hands.”“And your witch doesn’t know who it is?” she asked and I shook my head. “She also said she won’t be available for the next week so until then we’re on our own.”“We’ll figure it out.” Jake said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “We just need to sleep over it.” “Yeah, you’re probably right.” Diana agreed, “I’ll see you tomorrow I guess.”Logan

I woke up with a gasp; the last bits of my dream leaving as the sleep cleared from my eyes.Logan rushed over to my side from where he was sitting at the desk and he pulled me into his arms. I buried my face into his neck and breathed in his warm and familiar scent.“What’s wrong?” he asked and when I didn’t respond he lifted my chin so I was staring at him, “Are you okay?” “Yes, I think so.” I worked on calming my racing heart, “I don’t know.”“Was it a nightmare?” “I- I don’t know.”I tried to dig deep to remember why I woke up the way I did, “Maybe it’s just one of those things where you jerk yourself awake. I don’t know but I’m fine.”I gave him a smile but he didn’t look so convinced so I decided to change the subject.“Why are you up so early?” I asked then glanced at the clock, “It’s 4: 15.” “I just found myself awake at 4 and realized I had some work to do.”“A little company never hurt anyone right?”He gave me a smile and held out his hand to me.********

He didn’t wait for Jake to respond; he just started walking with me in his arms. I squirmed to be let down but he held me tighter.“I can walk, Logan.” I whispered while trying not to let him smell my vomit breath. “I know you can,” was his simple response, “I want to do this.”He didn’t let me down when we got into the car. In fact, he climbed into the back seat and left me straddling him. I tried to pull away but he didn’t let me. Someone else got into the front seat and started the car.While I kept my face buried in his shoulder, he rubbed small circles on my back.“Where am I driving to, Alpha?” I heard an unfamiliar voice ask. “My house, Stephen; and make it quick.”Stephen gave a grunt of acknowledgment and started to drive.“How do you feel?” he asked. I opened my mouth to respond but shut it almost immediately and shrugged. “I’m sorry.”He kissed the top of my head and pulled me impossibly closer to him.As soon as the car stopped in front of the house, I rushed

In Between The Alphas EPILOGUE
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
