Alex POVI was seated in my office, silently staring at the trees swaying in the wild breeze outside.I haven't been able to concentrate on anything after the incident that happened.Charlotte had been in a coma after falling from the tree she had climbed, and woke up yesterday.Unfortunately, she convulsed and slipped back into a coma yesterday. The doctor tried to do what he could, but she had already slipped into a coma again. I doubt she stayed awake for an hour before she fell asleep again.I was watching through the CCTV camera in her room and noticed how she had been staring weirdly at the doctor.I ran out of the room when she began convulsing, only to be met with a heartbreaking sight.She was struggling, I knew, but given how weak she was, she couldn't conquer it, and I couldn't help either.Once again, I almost lost my mate for the second time.I bear the guilt of everything. It was my fault. I shouldn't have given orders for her to be shot, but that was the only way to sto
Alex's POV"The Red Bat Pack took the all brown pack into extinction, making it a permanent heap of ruins and a desolate place to this day. Twenty thousand men, women, and children fell that day, all the people of the All Brown Pack. Not one member was able to survive," he read from the screen of his computer."Hmmm," I grumbled in thought, "What's the name of their Alpha?""Alpha Michael," he replied, and I slowly nodded. I was now catching up."Shit!" I slammed my hands on the table with a loud thud when I finally remembered the pack.I gripped my head in frustration, angrily standing up from the chair."Take it easy, man–""Don't ever say that to me!" I growled at him before striding to the window to get some fresh air."Out of every pack, why would that be her pack!? I've been curious to know her pack, but why that pack? Why couldn't she come from another pack?" I questioned in frustration. My head was throbbing. This just added to the problem I had to solve."She doesn't seem to
Alex's POVI quietly pushed the door to my room open and peered through it, only to find Charlotte and Ryder seated on the bed, staring at each other.I stepped into the room and closed the door behind me before slowly approaching the bed and sitting beside Ryder.Charlotte had woken up a week late after she went into a coma for the second time. After spending a week in the hospital, she was brought back home.She hasn't said a word to anyone. All she did was stare, just as she's doing now.Ryder turned to me when he noticed my presence, and I felt pity for him. By the look on his face, I knew he wasn't reacting well to all this.It must be strange for him."Ryder, could you give me a minute?" I asked calmly, gently stroking his hair.He nodded before climbing down the bed and leaving the room, slowly closing the door behind him with a light thud.I quietly stared at the closed door before turning to the lady whose presence was now difficult to detect.I rubbed my palms together, thin
Alex's POVI carefully held her in my arms as she leaned on my shoulder, her arms wrapped around my neck."Are you comfortable?" I asked, and she shook her head.She adjusted herself on me while I waited, and when she was done, she nodded. So, I carried her down the stairs and walked into the kitchen.I sat her on the kitchen countertop, took out my phone from my pocket, and gave it to her to keep herself company while I headed to the cupboard.After gathering the things I'll use for cooking, I walked over to where the white apron was and slipped it on.I glanced at her and saw her staring down at my phone, so I guessed she was watching a movie.I proceeded to watch the rice and set it on the gas cooker. The doctor had instructed that she should only have light food, but my mate had emaciated.I wasn't going to give her heavy food, but at least she could eat rice instead of pap.After adding less spicy ingredients to it, and no pepper at all, I closed the pot and left it to boil.I've
Alex's POV"You just said you cheated.""I'm sorry, I won't do it again," I apologized, before raising my gaze to meet her eyes."Can you tell me that you love me? I really want to hear you say it now," I whispered, staring into her beautiful eyes which still looked blank."But I don't know who you are," she replied after thinking about it for a while, and I sighed.I ran a hand through my hair in frustration and broke away from holding her gaze with mine."You know me, that's why I also know you, but you've forgotten.""Okay?" she replied, and I facepalmed."You don't say 'okay,' you say what I told you to say!" I scolded, and she batted her lashes at me."I love you," she finally said, and my dim eyes lightened up."I forced you into saying it, I know, but do you mean what you said?" I asked curiously, and she didn't say anything."Never mind," I was about to say, but just then she nodded."Do you really mean it?" I asked further, and she nodded."Say it on your own," I requested, t
Alex's POVThe flashback continues.I was as cold as shit and didn't even bat an eyebrow. I was in the fire but wasn't affected by it because it's something I'm used to.I pulled out my silver sword, which was dripping blood from the chest of a gamma of the all-brown pack, and his body fell to the floor. Then I caught sight of a kid passing through a secret door to escape. The fire was already heating up. Things were burning down and exploding. Everywhere was noisy to the extent that you wouldn't be able to hear what someone beside you was yelling, despite being werewolves.As usual, I didn't waste my time and aimed my gun at her, still conscious of my surroundings and gripping my sword.But just as I was about to press the trigger, she turned and saw me, and my fingers, which had already touched the trigger, froze immediately.I couldn't bring myself to do anything. All I did was stare at her tear-stained face, blood-dripping nose, and ruined attire.I recognized her. I had watched h
Alex's POVEither Fenris was just being stupid, or she wasn't my mate. Maybe I should have told her to take off her shorts and panties to confirm.I'm mysterious, I know. But if she turned out to be my mate, my dad would understand and let us keep her, mostly as she's still a kid.I didn't have time for that. They would definitely come to check on me since I had spent too much time here."You can leave," I ordered, and she turned to head for the door."Stop," I stopped her immediately, and she froze on the spot, slowly turning to face me, her face pale."Use the window," I pointed to the window facing the ocean. That was her only way of escape, and she hadn't thought of it, even as a member of this pack. It was foolish of her to be heading for the door. Fenris wouldn't have spared a second before shooting her dead if she left through the door.She turned around and began heading for the window, while I contemplated how she would cope with the child in the ocean with its strong waves.
Charlotte's POVWhen I woke up this morning, I didn't find Alexander in the room, and the sun was already filtering into the room.So I walked into the bathroom and took a bath.I was wrapped in a towel as I stepped out of the bathroom into the room, but then I found Alex seated on the couch, dressed in white pants and a black shirt. I assumed he must have taken a bath since he wasn't dressed this way yesterday. He looked as though he was about to go out.I didn't say anything and headed to the closet where I was told my things were."How was your night?" he asked from behind me, noticing my presence in the room.I glanced back at him, and when our eyes met, I nodded and muttered, "It was normal. Where were you?""I kept the kid company," he answered, and I turned away from him and began picking out clothes to wear today. Surprisingly, I felt stronger than I was yesterday, which is why I was able to bathe myself this morning."You seem stronger today. What happened last night?" he ask
