Alpha Zach’s POV
This was just getting out of control, the growing number of deaths, not only in my pack but the apparent deaths in Draven’s nest too and something needed to be done about it but as I start to pull the car away I realise Charlie is starting to have a panic attack like the one she had had at Alpha Max’s pack, each breath was coming short and shallow and I stop the car, it wasn’t a normal occurrence in the Lycan world
“Slow and deep breathes Charlie”
I wasn’t sure if she could hear what I was saying but her head moves up and down and yet her breaths continue to come quick.
She begins clutching at her chest, pulling at the top she was wearing, her mouth gasping for oxygen and I pull her from her seat into my arms. Gripping her face with both hands I try to get her to focus on me but her eyes start rolling, her head trying to fall back from my hands as her body begins to collapse beneath her.

Charlie’s POVA panic attack, I was having another panic attack and yet all I could feel was the sensation of his lips on mine as my eyes fell shut. They were soft, his stubble catching on my skin as he pressed himself against me but the connection stopped the attack in its tracks and my lungs finally acepted the oxygen that I was gasping for.I acted like I didn’t know that he had kissed me, but I felt every nerve ending tingling, the electricity storming through my body and my rigidness relaxed under his touch.Alpha Zach said ‘promise’ like it was a big thing between us when in reality I just didn’t want to meet Draven aloneI was trying to focus on the conversation that we were having now I was concious, but every so often I would find my fingers running across my lips. The connection between us was stronger than I had first thought and I couldn’t explain why or how. I know what the others said to me and what Max&rs
Alpha ZachShit, shit, shit, what the hell did I just do.I leave the packhouse and head to the forest, I needed to run, I needed to feel the breeze against my fur, I was such a stupid idiot.Seeing her chatting with Adam tipped me over the edge. I knew he was not a threat but it was as if my Lycan took full control for a moment. He wanted his mate and he had to have her. I just about gained enough control to leave even when her arousal filled the air.I need to clear my head, I cannot let my feelings over rule what is happening in the pack.Shifting in the forest, I run with ease, pounding the ground with my large paws as the air whipped through my fur. The soft scents of the forest relaxing my soul and I finally felt more in touch with the earth after so long.I make sure to stay on my land, not risking leaving and focus on keeping my senses clear. The killer had been getting onto our land without being seen and when the snap of a branch c
Charlie’s POVAlly made me laugh, like proper deep belly laughter but at the same time I thought about what Adam had said about not trusting her. Pushing the thoughts aside, Ally asks me how good my magic is and when I ask her why, she tells me there is a ball stuck in the roof.Wrapping the red mist around her, she climbs out the window giggling and takes a step into thin air“Promise you wont drop me”“I won’t”The red mist lifts her up into the air and just as she is about to grab the ball, I sneeze and the red mist almost drops her and she lets out a scream. Helping her back in through the window, Alpha Zach bursts into the room asking us what had happened, his face full of fear.Ally and I cant help but giggle as Alpha Zach watches us but when I look at him, he isn’t watching us, he is watching me, his lips curved up at the edges.I hadn’t told Ally what had happened between Alpha Z
Alpha Zach’s POVI knew something was not right when Ally ran pass Kayden and I in tears, they had literally just been giggling like school girls moments ago and when I head back upstairs, her bedroom door is closed and yet I knew she was standing the other side, not only was her scent strong but it seemed like I automatically knew what was happening with her when I was close by. I had no idea if this is what mate bonds were like but then Kayden appeared not to know Ally was upset.She slowly opens the door, her big eyes full of worry but she confides in me straight away.It was true that I already knew about Ally’s past, she was one of the reasons that I put an absolute ban on any Lycan going near Huntington. The problem was Ally had not been the only one, there had been a few at the time and some of those were no longer with us as a result.When I tell her as much, she looks surprised but what surprises me more is when she asks me to kiss he
Charlie’s POVHe couldn’t be serious; he was inviting the very man I had rejected to his pack. I stare at him with my mouth hanging open as he tells me that Kiwi had answered the phone and accepted the invitation.Why would he do this after I told him to kiss me?“It’s a joke right” I throw my hands up in the air, muttering to myself“I am not joking”“Then why would you do that? I thought you liked me”“You know I do, but I thought maybe he could help out with the murders”“And he agreed?”“No, like I said, Kiwi answered the phone, she was the one to agree”Blowing out my cheeks, I huff at him. It had only been a few weeks and I had been longing to see Max, right up until I felt his acceptance of my rejection and now the very idea of him coming here had me on edge.“Charlie, you are overthinking this”&ldq
Alpha Zach’s POV“Why did you not contact me and why the fuck were you in the forest alone?”“Does it matter. She is fast Zach, I couldn’t keep up with her”I glare at my brother and rub my eyes, what was Charlie doing“You are certain she has gone to Huntington?”“Yes. It was the direction she was running in”“You saw no one else”“Who else am I going to see Zach, everyone is pretty much on lockdown here”At least he had not seen Josh.“Why would she go there Zach?, they will kill her when they realise what she is”My guess was that she was not going to the town but on to see Draven, she knew how to get there but I wasn’t going to tell my brother that.“Leave me”“You’re not going after her?”“Adam, you may be my brother but right now you need to respect yo
Charlie’s POVHe invites me in and walks into a nearby closet, handing me some clothes like he was expecting me to turn up unannounced at any point. He tells me to get changed and walks away.Once I shift and dress, I head to the room where there is a lot of chattering. A whole group of vampires were sat around, hanging on to every word spoken by Draven, if anything it was a little creepy. Their red eyes turn to look at me as I enter and Dravens dark grin spreads across his face exposing his sharp teeth.“This is my daughter”I stare at him, he knew I didn’t like it when he called me that and besides nothing had been proven yet“This is our future, half Lycan, half vampire”There are gasps around the room followed by muttering about how it could not be possible, how it had never happened, how I must be cursed!“There is one more thing, she is the Lycan Queen. Everybody, I would like you to wel
Alpha Max’s POVIt was the last thing I was expecting to hear. When Kiwi told me that Alpha Zach was inviting us to his pack I had been camping out in a country not far from where Alpha Zach’s pack was based trying to get in touch with my explorer side and breaking my thought away from Charlie.After Charlie had left me and I finally accepted her rejection, I had to get away and spend some time focussing on myself. Do some of the things Alexander wanted to do before he died and that included exploring the world and as a triplet, it meant that Alexander could come with me in my heart.I finally accepted Kiwi as my equal, my long lost sister, the triplet we never knew about and yes she lost it at one point but she found her way back and whilst I was away, she agreed to keep the pack in order until I returned.She had been trying to ring me for a couple of days when I finally answered“Alpha Zach wants you to come to his pack, they 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
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
