Charlies POV
I could scent Max before the others could and held up my hand to them, Josh wasted no time in climbing out the window and as Max opened the door, his eyes were firmly set on me. I wanted to tell him, it wasn’t fair for us to keep secrets from him, not like this.
When Max announces that he had been with Draven, I was shocked, why would he want anything to do with the vampire??
I had to ask him why but I could barely keep my eyes open and knowing they were both here was reassuring as i laid my head down.
When I open my eyes, the morning sun was bright and I realise the curtains were open. The bright sun lighting up the room and I see Alpha Zach fast asleep on the sofa. I was a little annoyed that he was not in the bed with me.
Carefully tiptoeing across the room, I pick up the paperwork that was scattered everywhere, some of the writing made no sense but there was a page containing my family tree, an old piece of paper that had see
Alpha Max’s POVAfter I leave, I head outside and sit on the steps when a Lycan comes running up to me “A wolf by the name of Kiwi is here, she is demading to see you”“Send her in, she is my sister”The Lycan shakes his head at me “Alpha Zach has not informed us that she is invited. Unfortunately until then she is not allowed on the property”“What?!”I had told Zach that Kiwi would be joining us, why would he have not told his warriors to expect her?The warrior shrugs his shoulders and I follow him towards the gates where Kiwi was arguing with another warrior about how they were being disrespectful but when she sees me, she stops and shoots me a smile.It had been a while since I had seen Kiwi, and after everything she had done in the past, including finding out that she was my long lost triplet sister, we had actually grown closer, almost as close as Alexander and I were.
Alpha Zach’s POVKayden was a good fighter and not in the least bit concerned that he was fighting his Alpha.I only just managed to grab him as he made a second attempt to attack Charlie. I had no plans to kill him but he had committed treason, not only by attacking the Queen but fighting with me without making his intentions clear. His punishment would be down to the pack.He finally shifts back, our breathing hanging heavy in the air as he watches me, his eyes a deep shade of onyx.“Ally is dead because of her” he snaps at me and I shift back. I had to show him he was wrong and that I did not want to fight him, not only was he a great Beta, he was my best friend“It wasn’t Charlie”He flares his nostrils at me and I knew he was preparing to attack me.“Kayden, you have to listen to me, Charlie is innocent, she has no Lycan”He stops moving but holds his stance and frowns at me
Charlie’s POV“Will she be happy to see me?” I ask Max as I pull my seatbelt on“Honestly, I am not sure. She was pretty pissed off with you for rejecting me”Maybe it was a bad idea, maybe we should turn back now, but as we roll up to the gates, the warriors glare at us. Max tells them that Alpha Zach had given permission for us to head into town and see Kiwi. Strangely they let us through without even questioning us but they continue to give me dirty looks and I press myself into the seat, wishing myself to disappear from view. Everywhere I went, people hated me!Max drives down the narrow lane but he stays quiet, concentrating on the winding lanes“Why did you lie?”“Pardon?”“Why did you lie?, back there to the guards, you told them Alpha Zach said we could go”“Because they would have never allowed you out else. They keep you a prisoner Charlie”
Alpha Max’s POVKiwi sits on the back seat with Charlie, they don’t speak and Charlie lies down, resting her head on Kiwis lap. I wish I could hear what she was thinking like I used to be able too.It was an odd feeling, seeing how close they were, Charlie had spent time with Kiwi long before she came here. Kiwi had taught her how to use her magic even though Kiwi had lost hers along the way, the result of not being a first born female Lycan.I had always wondered how close they got but Charlie never spoke of it and neither did Kiwi, shutting it down any time I had raised the subject.As we drive back to the pack, the car remains silent, no one knew what to say but after a couple of miles, Kiwi’s confused voice pops in my head“She has no Lycan”Her comment makes me swerve and as I straighten the car, I look at her in the mirror and keep the conversation private“How do you know?”&ldqu
Alpha Zach’s POVThat high pitched scream echoed out across the grounds, I am certain I see the trees recoil under the pressure and as I watch the others crumble to the ground, it does nothing to me, just like before.As I move towards her, it is almost like her scream steps up a gear and I am positive it may have even reached the human town.Reaching out towards her, she takes another step back before turning and running as she realises the scream is not affecting me like it was the others.The only option was to shift, I was quickest as my Lycan. Beating the ground with all four paws behind her as she runs and Adam is right, she is quick as she leaps over fallen trees with ease as she is trying to get away, but she is not as fast as a pure bred vampire and I stay on her trail, less than a few metres from her.I am not sure what my plan would be when I get to her or how I was even going to deal with what she just did. There was no denying th
Alpha Max’s POVThe ringing in my ears took forever to stop, it was like nothing I had ever felt before and I couldn’t figure out how Alpha Zach had not suffered like the rest of us, how he did not have blood running from his ears from the sheer pain she created??My vision had started to spin as Alpha Zach dived into the forest after her and my face hits the gravel. It was only after a few minutes that I could finally stand, trying to make sense of everything that had just happened.The warriors stand, cursing Charlie for what she had done when they turn their attention to me, holding their weapons in my direction again.“You are why she is here” one snarled at me, his eyes black.“Take her home” another demanded as they inched closer to me, trying to scare meStanding my ground, I put myself into a defence position, dropping my knees slightly so I was in a half squat whilst twisting myself to be prepared
Alpha Zach’s POVAlmost a week had passed since I had last seen my Queen. Max and Kiwi resided in a dungeon after I arrested them and I visited the beach every single day searching for an answer, a clue, something, but never finding anything.Draven joined in on the search. He was just as concerned and wanted to know what had happened to his daughter but he came up with as many solutions as I did, neither of us had a clue.When Max and Kiwi walked into my building that day, I was prepared. Bringing him here was a mistake, a very costly mistake because Charlie was not herself and she had been getting worse since he had arrived. He must be holding something over her.Standing in front of their cell, I glare at them. They looked rough although they were being well looked after. Max would speak, demand every single day to be let out whilst Kiwi sat in silence, watching me from the corner of the cell.Arresting them was not my original intention,
Alpha Max’s POVWhen Alpha Zach arrested us, I didn’t fight it. I would not have stood a chance against his pack and i would rather be alive then dead.As I sit here in the dingy cell, I keep my eyes trained on Kiwi, it was the first time she had spoken out loud to Alpha Zach. She would mind link me telling me to keep the conversation in our minds because they would not hear a thing.The scream above ground had caused Alpha Zach to run off at speed, he hadn’t returned, and I expected the worst. At least now he will believe it is not us doing the killings.“Do you think its another teenager?” I ask KiwiShe looks at me in the dimly lit cell and rolls her eyes“Could you not tell?, the scream came from a child, not an adult or a teenager”She goes back to sitting in silence, closing her eyes, most likely searching for Charlie again.“You are not going to find her!”We h

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

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
