Charlie’s POV

I sunk into silence as Alexander flitted in and out of the bedroom, sometimes with snacks other times just to check on me. I was lost in my own thoughts, mulling over my life with my parents. My birth mother died just before my tenth birthday and from what I know and remember, my father did not take long to remarry.

Memories of my birth mother were fading and i was finding it harder and harder to remember everything about her, her scent, her fashion sense even how she looked. I'm not sure I even had a clear image of her anymore.

When my father remarried, I was the last thing on his mind, I was always a burden to them and honestly I did wonder why they kept me around, they could have quite easily given me up to the system but I guess it was to always clean up after them.

“Do you really think he would have killed me?” Alexander has come back in the room to find me out of bed once again. I was sat in his bay window looking out on to the lar

    Charlie’s POV When I opened my eyes again, I was still in the dining room, only I was laid on the floor, with a very soft cushion under my head. A groan leaves my lips, what had happened and as I try to sit up, I am met once again with Alexander’s silky smooth voice “Steady, you should really stay laid down until the doctor can see you” “Nonsense Alexander, a good cup of tea is perfect for shock” the Queen and Alexander were standing either side of me. I blinked a few times as an image of my father came back into my head “Did he…. Did my dad…. What happened?” Alexander stared at his mother as I continued to blink away the floaters that had formed in my vision. “Oh my goodness dear, you gave us all a fright, you fell off your chair and bumped your head quite hard on the oak table” the Queen began fussing and poured a cup of tea as Alexander helped me to my feet. Glancing around the room, everything appeared to be in its correct place, including the doo

    Max’s POVCharlie had still been out cold every time I had visited her to change her bandages or her fluids bag and each time I saw her, the emotions I felt were overwhelming, the sparks that flew when I touched her skin were electric, it was like we were somehow already connected but she had yet to meet me.My mother stopped by the hospital and asked if I would join them for a family dinner, letting me know that Charlie had woken and she would be joining them too. Everything inside me told me to go including my wolf Ripper, he was desperate to be near his mate, but how could we go if she was already mated to my brother?!.I politely declined my mother and she looked disappointed, I knew exactly why she wanted me to go, to show off the future Alpha and the youngest doctor as well as to show Charlie who had helped save her.Ripper was literally shouting at me and it was taking a lot to shut him up, he hated the fact I had been so against believing in

    Alexander’s POVI was furious, how could she have been pregnant, why did she not save her self for her future husband, for me? As soon as I found out, I left I just could not listen the information about her anymore, my future mate had not saved herself for me and had humped a stupid human being.Max tried calling me back through mind link but I had had enough of this bullshit, she must have been fucked against her will, she just didn’t seem the type to lose her virginity to anyone. My parents will be furious to find out about this and will never let me have Charlie as a mate as she is not pure, something they were big on.My fist met the bark of the large tree outside the hospital, the cracking of my knuckles told me that I had hit it hard enough to cause damage and right on cue a branch dropped to the floor right in front of me. The lashing out had done nothing to calm my nerves or my anger. I will find out who did this to her and make them suffer.

    Max’s POVAlexander gawped at me, the realisation of what our mother has said settling in to his brain, “You what?” and he lunged across the floor at me but he was too slow and I had already manoeuvred myself from the seat. It seemed that he had completely missed the information that our father had shared.Charlie was an Alpha Luna hybrid, a very rare occurrence for it to happen but sometimes they would never choose a mate. The problem with that is it leaves all of us that are mated to her losing our minds if she doesn’t choose.For the first time in my life, I actually wanted a mate and I wanted Charlie but I knew Alexander will do everything he can to make sure she chooses him. Alexander stands in an attack position. “Did you not hear what they said? It is not up to us!”“I do not care, she is mine” Alexanders eyes blackened and I knew he would shift, he could rarely have a reasonable conversation in human

    Charlie’s POVThe idea of me having a wolf was strange and oddly exciting, a wolf that my father had kept at bay for the last seven years and I wondered how he did it. Max told me that I was being drugged but how, I barely ate, I made my own drinks, my bedroom door was always locked at night so how had he done it.“Can you take me to see him?” I knew I was pushing my luck but had to askMax stared at me, I knew he was weighing up his options “Tomorrow, you need to rest right now, you had a big operation”I sigh, I knew I was pushing it but I had questions I needed to ask my father “Okay” I agree with Max, I will rest “How long have I been in hospital?”“Two days” I nod, trying to figure out what day it is, just like he knew what I was thinking “It’s Thursday”Just two days until my eighteenth, at least I would be able to make my own choices then, as much as I

    Max’s POVAs I stepped back into Charlies room, it was obvious that there was tension between her and my brother, but something else was different too, Charlie’s scent had grown stronger and I was fighting the urge to grab her and kiss her there and then.Reminding her to breathe, Charlie growls at me as the cold stethoscope touches her back. It was pretty clear what was happening to her body, the wolfsbane was slowly leaving her system and I mind link Alexander to tell him as much.“You said you did not know how long it would take?” He snaps back at me“I didn’t, but it’s obvious isn’t it?, do you not see that her heritage has something to do with this?”Once again Alexander storms out, he hated being wrong or not being a know it all and I follow him, reminding Charlie to take long deep breathes, when she looks at me, her usual grey blue eyes are a dark grey, an odd colour for a wolf.

Driving at top speed, I run some red lights and some stop signs, that would be no problem, it’s easy enough to buy people’s help when you have money. When I arrive at her house, there is no sign that anyone is here, to be honest it looks as if no one has been here for days.I move around the house searching for clues, there must be some little detail, anything that will lead me to her.

    Max’s POVDamon’s pack had retreated, many had lost their lives from both packs and as the survivors helped the worst wounded, I started to look for Charlie. She was nowhere to be seen along with Alpha Zach, some of the guards inform me that she went inside the packhouse.Entering the house, there was a lot of commotion and I follow the sound to the bedroom Kiwi was being locked in. The door was wide open and as I stepped through the doorway I was shocked to see Alpha Zach, Kiwi who was sitting up on the floor and Charlie who was holding Damon’s head, blood splattered across her face whilst his body was crumpling to the floor.As soon as she sees me, she drops his head which rolls across the floor, stopping inches from my feet, his eyes wide open in fear. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Alexander had said her killing was brutal, yet a part of me didn’t believe it until now, but she literally just pulled a mans head off his bod

    Charlie’s POV The fight continues and yet I still have not seen my father, he would be easy to spot as he looks exactly like me. The Lycans were mostly dark colours when shifted and were easy to spot, a little difficult to figure out who was fighting who but my father was definitely not among them which made me anxious. Alpha Zach links me “Have you seen Damon?” The main idea with me staying higher up and in the centre was because I would be the only one to recognise his Lycan a jet black wolf exactly like myself. “No, not yet” “Keep looking” and he drops the link. Being able to hear the Lycans was odd and I hadn’t told Max yet, as far as he was concerned, he was the only one that could speak to me because we had mated and honestly I wanted to keep it that way for as long as possible. I scan the horizon, bodies were littered everywhere, Wolves, Lycans and some in their human form, but still, my father was nowhere to be seen. What was h

Not having him here was breaking my heart over and over and i felt physically sick.The few times I had left the room I had bumped into Alpha Zach, he never said a word and just bowed his head at me but each and every time, his scent nearly knocked me off of my feet and I wondered if he knew.The fourth night I headed back to

Even when I hear him tell Charlie he loved her, it didn’t change how I loved my brother and a part of me felt like it was slowly fading.Deep down I knew he was still mated to her and if that is what he wanted his final words to be then I was going to let him have it.Charlie held on to Alexander’s hands, sobbing uncontrollably. In some ways she probably felt like her mate bond with him was breaking and she needed closure.As Alexander takes his final breaths and his eyes close, Charlie t

    Alexander’s POVI don’t like these men, it was a mistake for Max to invite them here and I could see the way that Alpha Zach looked at Charlie, especially after he called her their Queen. After Max had told them to make themselves at home, the omegas led them away to show the men their rooms, they would be staying in the packhouse with us.“I don’t trust him Max”Max rolls his eyes at me “Look, we need help okay, we cannot take down Damon alone, this has to be why Kiwi wrote his name on the wall, she must be trying to help us in some weird way”“She also wrote down Charlie’s mothers name, do you think she is going to make an appearance too” I was trying to make Max see sense but if we suddenly turned the guests away now, then they would probably attack us.Max sighs, something he was doing a lot lately, “I am trying to do what I think is best for us, for the pack”&ldquo

    Charlie’s POVAlpha Zach was something else, he had muscles bulging through the shirt he was wearing, he was tall with dark hair shaven at the sides, tattoos trailing over the skin that was visible and down into his shirt. His eyes dark as they focussed on me and as he stared at me I felt an overwhelming urge to be with him and his scent told me that he had the same urge.As he calls me Queen I quickly mutter a good morning and rush inside, dragging Kayla with me“Who and what the hell is that Kayla and why the hell did he call me Queen?” I felt flustered, excitedly embarrassed about how I acted.“Well, that would be Alpha Zach” she doesn’t get a chance to say anything else as the door opens and Max walks inside with Alpha Zach and his men. Max eyes us warily but doesn’t utter a word.Alpha Zach greets Kayla “It has been a long time Kayla” a smile spreads across Kayla’s face and she giggle

    Max’s POVI couldn’t stand how close he was to Charlie and the growl came frome somewhere deep inside me, warning him to get away from my mate. As he moves away I see the wound to Charlie’s stomach, the burn marks already healing and her skin slowly knitting together but she was unconscious.I didn’t think Kiwi was still able to use her powers but I was clearly wrong, even as Kayla and I dragged her back to her room she was screaming, kicking and trying to throw small purple balls of mist at us. She had taken out two of the guards but thankfully they were already recovering and healing quickly.I couldn’t shout or punish Kiwi, she just wasn’t capable of understanding what she was doing, although she kept calling Charlie a murderous cow over and over.Kayla asked me if she could stay with her for a while, it was a strange request but I agreed on one condition, that she does not kill Kiwi, she nods her head and I pull the

    Alexander’s POVWith both Max and Charlie gone, it left just Kayla and me. I was uncomfortable being here with my rejected mate and I am sure she felt the same way. The Moon Goddess really had a lot to answer too.“I’m sorry Alex” her voice is high pitched and squeaky and one of her blonde locks drops out of the messy bun and falls over her face.“Don’t call me that Kayla” The only person that I wanted to call me Alex was CharlieShe drops her eyes “It was never supposed to be this way, I was never meant to fall in love” she peers at me through her long eyelashes. I knew exactly what she was doing, all the girls I had been with in the past were exactly the same.“I’m sorry Kayla but I love Charlie” there was that dark flash in her eyes again“You are not mated to Charlie, you are mated to me”, she follows me as I leave the room and runs to keep up with my lar
