Charlie’s POV
Every part of my being called to him, I felt incomplete without him. Alpha Zach he was everything I wanted.
He was all I could think about, when I had seen him hanging by those chains, I felt like I was losing him. As the pain retreats, something else radiates through my body. I didn't know if it was from the liquid the old woman gave me or something else but I thought I was going to die, I begged the moon goddess to let me see him again. Even if it was for the last time.
Kayden’s mother whispers to me in the dark cave “I’m sorry, it will hurt but it will help”
She glances over to the door as she helps me sit back on the ground “I have to go, but it will not be long now”
She leaves through the door and moments later I feel the burn of a whip as it lashes my face. The stinging pain quickly subsides as my body had become used to it. A man yells at me for puking up my food. He grabs me by the fac
Alpha Zach’s POVMax did not have to tell me anything, but I agreed, it was odd that Kayden’s mother had not told him anything.I thank him anyway and let him know that it is not his business anymore, he had repaid his debt unlike other packs.“You are free to leave Alpha Max, I will not require your presence any longer”It was obvious to me that he was keen to leave, he could see the connection between Charlie and I and my guess is that his heart must be breaking all over again. I would want to leave to if I was in his position.“I have one question before I leave” he runs a hand through his short hair, his shoulders dropping slightly “Do you love her?”“Of course I do, I have since the moment I first set eyes on her”“Then why are you putting her in constant danger? You must have known about your brother in some way?”“Just like you knew that Alexan
Charlie’s POVI was exhausted. Not so much because of bringing all the human children back to our pack but I was trying to work out Adam’s plan, why he was attacking Zach? Why had he thought burying those children alive was such a good idea?? What was his true intentions??It wasn’t just him I didn’t trust but Kayden too. I was thankful for the way his mother helped me, but something inside of me was telling me not to trust her and Kayden. I wasn’t sure how Zach would feel about that.Slumping down into the chair, I close my eyes, trying to push everything that had happened from my mind. My skin was still sore from the whippings, and I wriggled around in the chair trying to get comfortable, but it wasn’t easy.I feel him standing in front of me, a slight rush of air as he squats in front of me, his fingers find my face, tracing across the half healed wounds. He is gentle as his fingers move to my lips and when I look at
Alpha Max’s POVI was raging with jealousy, I hated seeing them so close, I had never felt anything like it even when competing for Charlie's attention with my brother. But seeing them together, the way he looked at her so intensely, I had to stop it, stop everything before Alpha Zach had a chance to mark her.I had no idea what had happened with Kiwi but her cell was empty when I went to tell her I was leaving. When I came to find Alpha Zach, I was only intending to ask him about Kiwi, but seeing their closeness just tipped me over the edge.As I pull her against my chest, she was warm, her scent wafting over me as it mingled with my own and without thinking about it, I mark her. I sink my canines into the soft flesh of her neck as she repeatedly fires her magic into my chest. Her nails dig into me and I feel the cracking of her bones beneath me, she was starting to shift and as I retract my teeth, Alpha Zach pulls her away and lunges at me.
Charlie’s POVI was completely and utterly shocked, I didn’t understand how he could do such a thing to me, especially if he still loved me.Standing with my hand cupped to my neck, I dig my nails in trying to scratch at the mark, trying to stop it from fully setting in whilst the men move around the room, staring at one another. They were fighting over me.My scratching made no difference, I was permanently marked!Their arguing fades in and out of my mind as the panic builds inside of me but I hear Zach tell me that there is one thing he could do and his eyes glaze over, his deep gravely voice filling my head, telling me to play to what Max wants but he will mark me too if I consent.I was about to answer when Max’s fingers dig into my shoulder. As he pulls me away, I punch him and so does Zach. As Max lets go of me and punches Zach in the nose, I beg them to stop. Telling Max that I would go with him, I will tell him anything i
Alpha Zach’s POVI had never seen anything like it, nor are there records anywhere. To be marked by two Alphas was just unheard of.I did the only thing in the moment that made sense. I revoked his welcome here. Alpha Max was no longer welcome in my territory. I needed him removed him from my land at least then I stood a chance of helping Charlie remove his mark and becoming my mate and only my mate.She stumbles over her words as she makes a decision about whther she wanted him here. A decision that I hated but as she explained to me that she would be torn apart, I knew she was right. Mate bonds were designed by the Moon Goddess to bring mates towards one another, not to keep them apart.A blue mark and a red mark. I could not take my eyes off of her neck as she asked about Katie. I could feel her jealousy, as soon as she heard that there was a young girl here, the jealousy appeared. I would not be the only one to feel her emotions, he would be abl
Alpha Max’s POVCould Kiwi really be dead or was he trying to give me something else to focus on??He leaves me in his office as he marches out with something on his mind. To my surprise, he leaves through the front door, I thought he was going to go and see Charlie. Should I go up and see if she was still awake? She was furious with me, maybe now was not the best time.I keep telling my wolf that he was an idiot for what he did to Charlie but he just laughs telling me that I was giving up on her to easily.“She does not want us”He laughs again “I do not care, she is mine and mine only”I could feel him trying to get out, like he was trying to take control over me. He had not been this riled up in a long time.“Stand down” I yell at him in my head and he tells me no and that it was his time.Fur starts sprouting along my arms, claws protruding from the ends of my fingers as my bones be
Charlie’s POVI was just grateful to escape the room. The hormones coming from both men was mind boggling. Each one trying to be the bigger Alpha, the better Alpha.The marks on my neck had me confused. I could feel everything Max was feeling but then I could feel everything Zach was feeling too. It was like my body was no longer my own.It was not that I wanted to sleep with Zach, that was not why I asked if I could sleep in his room. I just did not want to be alone tonight, not after the last few days. Plus I was not giving Max the satisfaction of sleeping in his room. Not after the way he marked me.My skin felt tight, I was covered in wounds and dirt and who knows what else. I just wanted a shower and I wanted to sleep.I did not even make it into the shower. I turned it on, waiting for the hot water but when I came out I just crashed out on the sofa in Zach’s room. I was so exhausted I could not even get up to turn the shower off a
Alpha Zach’s POV Katie was bawling her eyes out. She was telling me that the Queen hated her and how she had no mommy now. What could I say to her? She was right, Charlie hated kids! Katie sits in the corner, hugging a small toy as the tears run down her face and all I could do was reassure her but I was in shock myself. Finding your mate was something every Lycan and wolf looks forward to but producing an heir was just as important, especially if you are a male Alpha. I feel the tug of the mate bond as she leaves the house. I could follow her but she clearly needs time alone and I needed to think things through. Max had been in my room last night, I knew it, I could scent him and his fur was all over my sofa and on her sleeping body. I tried to remove all evidence of it before she woke up. I didn’t need her to know that Max was the one who gave her comfort in the night and not me. Josh had not been helpful at all. He had spent

She was awake and we stay laid on our backs, turning our heads to face each other, her eyes were red and black, the grey colour long gone but I didn’t care, she was here with me and she could hear and see me.“How do you feel?”I didn’t tell her that she had no magic anymore, I wanted to make sure she understood what had happened. I wanted her to know that Zach was definitely dead.“The magic is gone isn’t it?” she whispers quietly“How do you know?”“I can feel it, or lack of it. The constant bubbling has gone”Charlie had never described it in that way before and I wondered if that was what had been causing the panic attacks, the constant feeling of something inside of her. She hadn’t had an attack since she had been with me or maybe Zach had somehow causing them with his magic, so he could kiss her and make her think only he could make her feel better.I wipe t
As I kneel by Charlie I stare around in shock.He was dead, he was really dead. Zach’s bloodied limbs were scattered all around and I kick his head away from Charlie and I. I didn’t want to see him, any of him. The battle with him was finally over. After everything I did, everything Charlie had done, it had taken the hybrids to collectively work together to bring him down. Charlie was free, we were all free.I could hear her heartbeat fine and I check her neck, I wanted to see if his mark was still there. It was fading before my eyes and I hear Matthew gasp next to me.“Their marks, they are fading” he breathes a sigh of relief.He couldn’t believe it, he looked all over Alice’s legs and feet just in case he had missed it but just like Charlie’s, hers was gone and so was Eva’s.“Why are they not moving?” I try not to sound franticHe shakes his head at me “I don’t know,
Everyone was oddly calm including Charlie. Everyone except myself.Charlie had just told us the news we had been waiting for and i could not understand how everyone was so calm.Could Zach have known this was going to happen? Could he have planned for Charlie and her sisters to all be in place? It seemed impossible and yet possible at the same time. Zach had kept many secrets from everyone, and they were slowly unravelling but on his terms and we needed to change that.“I will meet him” Matthew suggests, and I shake my head.The last thing we needed Zach knowing is that we had the first hybrid in existence in my pack.“No, I will wait in the forest for him. I need you to watch over Charlie”He frowns at me, telling me that it was too risky for me to go out there in my state. With Jett back I was feeling stronger than ever. I may not look it, but I felt great.“It should be me” Charlie pipes up from
A couple of days had passed, and Charlie trained with Matthew every second she could, even when he told her to rest, she wouldn’t, or she couldn’t sit still. She was determined to succeed.He trained her mentally and physically but would not tell me what was involved. She had accepted her role as mine and the packs Luna, it was the only way for everyone to communicate with her, particularly Matthew and she needed all the help he could offer.Her sisters had not restored her hearing or sight yet because they needed to be certain that Charlie could hold the block and at the moment it was Jett and me. Her skills were growing massively but her mind still felt weak.Charlie was now able to move through the forest alone and without making a single sound, her feet touching the ground in silence as she moved. It was like she had tuned into nature, she even made it from the pack house to the training area alone yesterday and that is not an easy walk. Matthew
“It is not going to be easy”Matthew tries to warn me, but I had already thought about that and tell him just as much“And I am not even sure that it is possible for a wolf to do succeed in what I have achieved with Alice”Again, I nod my head, I understood what he was trying to say to me. It was his way of explaining that it might fail but if I do not try then we will never know.“You will get one option Alpha Max. You have to get into her head quicker than him, almost barricade her mind from his”“When and how?”“When she starts waking. At the moment she is unconscious. He can’t get in her mind whilst she is out of it, the wolfsbane in her system is too strong. The moment she starts waking will be your chance and your only chance. It will take all of your energy Alpha and if it fails, there will be no second chance!”We watch Charlie and her body does not move except
Hey everyone, I hope you are all well and I want to thank you so much for reading up until now, I really appreciate it and it keeps me motivated to write. However I just wanted to let you all know that I will be taking a few days off due to unforeseen personal problems but I promise not to keep you all waiting to long, the end is near and I hope you will all be happy with how the story ends after all the sadness that Max and Charlie have suffered. Take care and I will try and get back as soon as possible x Taylor West
I just sit and watch her. Pain is etched on Charlie’s face as she fights to keep the block up. People come and go, mostly to speak to me or Anna but I wasn’t interested. I just wanted to find a way to help Charlie break from his grasp on her.Matthew comes to find me at one point, but he frowns when he sees Charlie “What is she doing?”“She is blocking Zach”He stands by me and watches her like I do“Why are you here Matthew?”“I did come to speak to you, but now I am interested in why she is suddenly able to block him”“Alexander spurred her on”“Your deceased brother?”“That’s the one”Matthew does not speak he just nods his head with a surprised look on his face.“What did you want to speak to me about?”“I would like to offer my services”“You are already helping&rdq
She walks silently alongside me her fingers laced with my own. She doesn’t stumble or trip in the forest like she knows where she is going, but her fear was unmistakable. It exuded from her and even when I ask her she just tells me that everything is fine, but it wasn’t. Not only could I sense it coming from her, but I also felt her fear too and it wasn’t me that she was afraid of.I find myself stood in front of the packhouse, not the place I was expecting to be and I must have stopped abruptly because Charlie asks me what’s happening.“We are at the pack house?!”I wasn’t questioning Charlie, I was questioning myself, I thought we were further away than this and closer to the hospital.Charlie frowns at me “They built you a new packhouse?”“They did”She reaches her hand out and I guide her forward a little. As she holds her hand against the door she smiles but doesn’t
