Charlie’s POV
I 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
Charlie’s POVMax or rather Ripper had helped get me some blood. The more I smelt it from his hunt, the more I craved it. He didn’t even question me about it and brought me animals. Animal blood was not as nice as human blood but it would do for now.I tell him what Adam and the humans had been doing to me and how Adam and his people had been feeding me blood daily instead of food, keeping me alive so they could beat me further.He didn’t shift back to his human form, he did not even try but Ripper seemed content as we moved through the forest. Walking by my side, I had forgotten how soft his fur was and find myself running my fingers through it“Where are you taking me?”“Up to the cliff, I want to see if you can remember anything and there is something I think you need to see”I stop, trying to jog my memories was not something I had considered doing. Zach had not mentioned anything about that but
Alpha Max’s POVCharlie smiles at us as she drains the blood from another deer. She tells us everything that Adam had done to her. After hearing everything, Ripper and I vowed revenge when we finally got a hold of him. We would make him suffer as he had done to our mate.I knew Zach was trying to get in her head, she would wince every time, but she tells me that she is doing what my mother had taught her and putting up a metal door.“It does not hurt, it’s just like an itch that I can’t scratch”When Ripper tells her to come home with us, I hear her say she will consider it only if we shift back to human form. I was not sure if it was even possible not now we had gone Rogue. She gives us another option and Ripper turns us away, walking into the forest.“It has to be her choice”I agreed with Ripper and the only way she would see that it was better to come with us was by seeing Zach for who he really
Alpha Zach’s POVI had lost control of my pack and what was happening on my own land. My second in commanf had gone missing without my permission and had cut off all contact.Charlie was about to kiss me when that idiot Max burst through my door. I knew she wanted me, I could smell just how much she wanted us to be together and without a doubt I knew her panties would be wet.I can hear her talking, even though she has somehow frozen me to the spot, my mind is still working and she no longer talks to the wolf through mind link. I hear her tell him that she regrets coming here, that this would not have happened if she had stayed with Max. It wasn’t true, whatever Adam was trying to do, it would have played out even without Charlie being around. I just wish she could see it.My office was a mess, I had trashed it in anger, and I am guessing that was why Charlie had frozen me to the spot, to stop me and what I was doing. Her eyes were glazed over
Charlie’s POVAs I leave, I almost run into that little girl, Katie. She stops and drops the lolly she was sucking to stare at me. Her body was visibly vibrating as she backed away and moved to the stairs. I was not intentionally trying to scare her, but it did mean that she would stay out of my way.I wanted to go for a run and glance back at the closed door of Zach’s office and start to shift but this shift was different. It was painful and Gypsy kept apologising over and over.Hardly any hair sprouted from my limbs and I seemed to be growing taller and more muscly rather than my Lycan form which was almost like a wolf.“What’s happening?” I ask Gypsy“We are a hybrid”“What does that mean?”“You will see!”My bones cracked as I grew and my clothes could no longer contain me and break apart falling to the floor, My hands and feet were large with claws protrudin
Charlie’s POVThe guys were getting closer, they were moving quickly. Kiwi continued to rant and scream at me about what I had done, demanding to know why I killed Adam but I thought it would be obvious to her, yet for some reason she could not make the connection and I thought she was a Seer.As I move towards Kiwi, Zach jumps out of the forest and grabs her from behind, his arms locking her in place. Ripper saunters out the woods, still in wolf form and I wondered why he hadn’t shifted back, why he had not let Max out.Zach looks over at Adam’s body and raises his eyes to me and moves his lips to say ‘Thank you’ which surprises me. Ripper watches me intensely, my eyes locked with his whilst Kiwi continues to shout at all of us.“You must have seen this coming Kiwi” I snarl at her.She drops her eyes shaking her head sides to side “That’s why it was all dark. Because you are this... this monste
Alpha Zach’s POVWatching the old woman die was nothing different for myself and I was surprised it was having this much of an effect on Charlie especially after she just killed my brother and Max's sister..Yes I ensured that the humans of Huntington had enough oleander to protect themselves from our kind but humans were still a pathetic weak force that somehow were still alive across the globe.Charlie follows me outside, the clothes she was wearing swamped her body, hiding her beautiful frame, I wanted to tear them from her body.She keeps looking back to the house, her confusion and worry affecting her scent“It is not your fault Charlie” I knew it was coming, the need to blame herself, it was what she always did.She finally looks up at me “I’m a monster”“No, you are a Queen”Charlie frowns at me“You do not get it do you?”She throws
Charlie’s POVMy head was so confused and Gypsy was no help either. I felt Zach, everything about him wanted me and yet I had a nagging feeling scratching at my brain about Max and I just could not get him out of my head. He maybe Ripper but Max was still in there somewhere. Just trapped.I leave Zach’s room and walk across the landing to my own room. Flipping the light switch, I find Ripper curled up on my bed, fast asleep. He wakes as I close the door, his big eyes on me as he starts cleaning himself.“Is it true?”He continues to clean himself and asks me if what was true“You are permanently a Rogue, and you cannot come back from it”He finally stops what he is doing“Alpha Zach told you then!”“You lied to me Max”“Ripper, my name is Ripper. Max is gone Charlie. I am pure wolf, my human life has long gone”“Then why did you mark me?

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
