•• Charlotte’s POV •••“Lottie!” Ethan’s loud voice sounded through the airport’s arrival gate.“Here!” He waved his hand to tell us where he was.Both Hayden and I went toward him, and I was gawking as I took in his appearance.“What on earth happened to you?” I asked in surprise.He looked… messy
“Let’s go.” Ethan took my hand and pulled me toward a small and cozy house. “She’s been expecting you.”The nearer we approached the house, the more nervous I felt.What if my curse couldn't be broken?What if it had taken too long or was too strong to be broken?Suddenly I felt a warm hand holding
•• Charlotte’s POV •••I could… break the curse?I still didn't know what she meant by taking the matebond back, but all I could think about was that I was the only one who could break the curse.Standing up and letting go of Hayden’s hand, I moved toward the old lady, knelt before her, and grasped
Just a few drops of blood?It wasn't something dangerous, so I stepped around Hayden to face the witch and offered her my finger.Hayden growled when the old lady lifted the dagger with her hand.I was moved by how protective he was, but this needed to be done.“Hayden, it’s okay,” I mindlinked him,
•• Charlotte’s POV •••"Look at how beautiful she is," Dad tried to stop crying and smiled but was unable to. "She looks just like you."“She’s perfect,” Mom kissed baby-me and sobbed. “She’s the most perfect baby girl in the world, and she’s our daughter, Alrick.”“She is,” Dad agreed, and his body
He was holding his head with both hands and soon was tugging his hair.“My head hurts…”He groaned in pain and kept pulling his hair roughly.“Lottie, my head hurts.”“Hay-Haden…”I became worried and didn't know what to do.I could only hug him tight when suddenly I heard the old lady’s voice.“Pra
•• Charlotte’s POV •••“I need to pay my respect to your Dad,” Hayden said the moment we got back to the Moon Crest Pack after breaking my curse.“Okay,” I smiled sweetly at him and pulled him toward the Moon Crest Pack cemetery.After we had our matebond again, the world seemed sweet and lovely, an
To my surprise, he pushed me away, and I felt a stab in my heart. It was like he was rejecting me.“You kept explaining things and trying to make me understand…”He gave me another deathly glare before a devilish smirk formed on his lips.Uh-oh…“I’d prefer you use your mouth for something else.”He
He nodded fervently and repeated my words like a mantra, “You are right. My woman is always right; even when you are wrong, you are right.”And I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore.“You better remember that,” I warned him.“I will,” he promised earnestly, adding, “We better finish our shower so
•• Rosa’s POV •••“Jax... What... What are you doing here?”He didn’t answer my question but began taking his clothes off while gazing at me with such a scorching gaze that it made me blush.When he was naked, he stepped in front of me and pulled away my hand and arm, pinning them above my head with
“You wanted to give me the stone? So there shouldn’t be any tests?” I asked her incredulously.She stayed silent, and I knew who the real culprit was.I stood up and glared at the only mischievous person in the room. “Dad!”“Rosa, my daughter, I wanted to show the Witch Queen of your power so far,”
•• Rosa’s POV •••Just what in the world is going on?“Rosa, are you okay?” Ari asked as she helped me to stand up.“What... How are you here?” I asked in shock. “What’s going on?”“Let’s talk once we get out of here, okay?” she asked and led me to the portal.“Wait!” I stopped moving. “Jax...”“Don
I didn’t struggle.I had chosen to be the sacrifice so Rosa could live, but I felt a pang in my heart when I saw tears running down Rosa’s beautiful face.Was this how our relationship was supposed to be?Were we really not meant to be together?“Jax!” Rosa stood up and ran toward me, only to be thr
•• Jaxon’s POV •••I drove a distance away from them, enough for them not to notice but close enough for me not to lose sight of them.It wasn’t a wonder Dagon hid the stone at his last hideout.Damn demon, I thought to myself.What a pussy for using such a trick to wipe out the whole world after hi
“Dad? Elder? Lillian?” I called out to them as I looked around my surrounding only to be replied by the echoes of my own voice.Shit, this was bad!I never thought we would be separated like this!How in the world was I going to find the crys-Suddenly, I felt a very dark aura from the crystal that
•• Rosa’s POV •••After saying goodbye to Max and Ari, the four of us got into the car with Dad, in his real appearance as the driver, the Elder wizard sitting on the front passenger seat while Lillian and I sat at the back.I glanced around secretly and couldn’t find any sign of Jaxon, which I thou
The thought of Rosa dying made my heart feel like it stopped beating as my fear for her safety intensified.“Jax, Rosa might die. We can’t let it happen. We can’t let it happen,” Rhun kept mumbling in my mind and paced around, ready to take over my body to stop Rosa from going.“I will go with her.
