Logan’s pov
Evening came around and Charlotte came to my father’s office.
“I will now unmask your scent; your strength is back at about 90%. Had he challenged you tomorrow then you would have fought him at a 100%. I am sorry about this” she said, and my father shook his head.
“You did your best dear, without you we wouldn’t have known a thing.
Now I have the power to fight back” my father said and then looked at me.
He now really looked better as I looked at him,
he didn’t look like someone who was burdened by something.
How Is it possible that the people around him didn’t notice how different he was.
Hell, two strangers who had never met him knew from only one meeting that something isn’t right.
Next time I will make sure that I am the look out for such things, so something like this never happens again not under my watch.
“Are you ready?” I asked father who nodded, and Justice shook his head.
“Father just step down and give me the throne. Why go out there to get yourself killed?” he asked our father as he was coming inside the office.
“What did you say? That I will get myself killed” father asked him, and Justice nodded.
“How could you say that to him?
He isn’t only your father but also the Alpha King.
Even I know how important that is” Charlotte said looking at him.
“Its because he is my father that I am telling him the truth.
Come on little brother, you have seen it too haven’t you? He is weakened” Justice said.
He looked at our father, Charlotte hasn’t unmasked his aura yet,
so he is still not at his best.
I watched as my brother took out his claws, his eyes changing colour and he looked at our father.
He growled, the level of disrespect for him to even stick to this level.
Father’s wolf still feeling a bit weak because of the spell suppressing him made him look down.
Justice looked at me with a smirk, “he is going to get himself killed, but since you will be the next Alpha King if that happens then I guess you don’t care” he said and left the room.
“I will unmask his aura, please be on the lookout and makes sure no one comes here” Charlotte said.
We closed the door to the office, and I stood outside with Alexa who seemed deep in thought.
“Wow, I feel like I walked into a telenovela.
Everything is just going sideways, and I honestly don’t know who the bad guy here is” she said shaking her head.
“I think we all are bad guys; you see I am probably a bad guy in Justice’s life since I am an obstacle in his path” I said, and she laughed at this.
“I get it, you are the main character is someone’s story. Sometimes you are the villain, hence determining who the bad guy is, isn’t an easy thing to do” she said.
She then turned around to leave, “see you on the battlefield” she said walking away.
I stayed there for some time, “Why are you just standing here?” Sasha asked me as she was coming towards me.
“Waiting for my father, he wanted to be left alone for some time” I said, and she nodded.
“I am sorry about my father; we honestly had no idea that he would do such a thing” she said shaking her head. “
it’s okay, I also didn’t know. So, I don’t fault you and Dean on this at all” I said, and she nodded.
She touched my hand, “if you need any help from me let me know” she said.
I pulled my hand away from her as fast as I could, and she seemed hurt by it.
“I have a mate who will help me with anything I need.
I don’t want to bother you; we grew up together and all, but my mate will always come first.
And if she cant help then your brother my best friend will do.
And there is also Clara, my sister and then my own brother as well.
But if they can’t help then I will come to you” I said, and she frowned.
“is that your way of saying that I will be the last person you come to for help?” she asked and smirked.
“You really are something aren’t you, just pray that you don’t regret your decision.
Maybe the moon goddess will listen” she said and then walked away.
I saw something in her eyes but what was it?
I don’t know how to explain that emotion, but I do know that it sent a cold shiver down my spine.
There was something dark and sinister about it and the way she walked away.
Why?
Why did I suddenly feel this way?
Sasha has always been talk and nothing else, all she knows how to do is to bark but can never really bite.
But now I got this different aura from her, the kind I got from Justice when he said that the throne is his.
As if nothing will get in the way of what they want, even if they have to kill just to get it.
The door opened and Charlotte did a thumbs up to show me that everything is now okay.
I walked and I could feel it, my father’s aura was back to what it once was.
You could feel that this office belongs to an Alpha King and someone you should bow your head to.
I bowed my head, “welcome back father” I said, and he smiled.
“We will wait for you in at the training grounds, shall we get going first Charlotte?” I asked her and she nodded.
We left and went to the training grounds, those that like to see a fight were all there.
I guess everyone wants to know the fate of their King,
some might agree with Mr Knight while others don’t.
However, they don’t have a say In what happens here,
just as I don’t have a say in the outcome as well.
Mr Knight walked in, only a few people cheered for him that it felt as if we are about to watch a boxing match.
My father came in and more people cheered for him, great to see that he still has a few supporters left.
Some didn’t do anything; they don’t want to pick a side without knowing the results.
I think there is a word for this, but I don’t remember it, of people who wait for results and then makes decisions looking at the results.
My father seemed really confident; you better win this father.
Charlotte’s pov
I looked around, what era are we living in? is this really how werewolves decide their King?
On the basis of brut strength?
He has led them for decades and there were no wars when he was King.
Isn’t that enough?
Hell, he even buried his ego and made a deal with a vampire despite how much they hate each other.
Just so that one day they could get the protection of the vampires when things get tough for their kind.
Isn’t that what a great leader is?
Humbling yourself for the good of your people.
Mr Knight howled, I looked at Alexa who was jumping around happy to watch this match.
Hell, I think she is probably thinking about getting popcorns so she could eat them while watching.
I guess she doesn’t understand how bad things can get if this match goes south.
Chances are that Logan will be made Alpha King and his brother who wants the throne will challenge him.
I don’t know who is stronger, Justice says that Logan has never won against him.
And then Logan also seems to be the kind that would hide his own strength just to avoid drama.
But either way all this drama will attract other supernatural beings and before we know it people will wonder about his mate.
As his mate, if he is made the Alpha King then I will be in the spotlight.
It wont be long before they find out that I am the girl with the blood mark curse and then I am dead.
But for now, let me be positive, let me hope that the Alpha King will win this no matter what.
We were two steps ahead of the enemy so he should be okay right?
Mr Knight looked at the Alpha King and smirked, I guess he hasn’t felt the Alpha King’s aura.
He then changed into a wolf ready to attack, his wolf was big and brown.
Hell, I can’t believe that I am here about to watch two fearsome wolves fighting one another.
The brown one pounced on the Alpha King who didn’t even move but stood his ground.
The wolf tried biting and scratching but was always punched or kicked.
The Alpha King looked at me and smiled before he changed into a wolf in a matter of seconds.
His wolf was large and black, he stood tall and proud that I watched as everyone went on their knees.
I heard the brown wolf whimper; he is cowering in fear of the power that this other wolf has.
I could feel it as well, the overwhelming power he has.
Is this it?
so this is the power of an Alpha King.
A power so great that even other supernatural beings can feel it, even a witch as powerful as I am can feel it.
What power is this?
Logan’s povWhat kind of power is this?I looked around me and everyone including myself had our heads bowed down.I looked at Charlotte and even she had her head bowed slightly which showed respect.Charlotte is a witch, not just any witch but from what I sensed a really powerful one.I looked into the whole aura thing and at times it took an entire coven to cleanse the aura of one person.She did so alone and in a matter of a few days like its nothing.Even a witch as powerful as her bowed her head, hell looking around some heads seems like they were about to touch the floor.My father was this powerful?All this time he had this kind of power and didn’t even show it off.Hell, it now shows the kind of great leader he truly is, he didn’t want to rule with fear.He could have used his aura to silence everyone but all this time he listened to their demands.He let me and my brother have a say without exerting his will on us which he could easily do.He could have demanded us to do wha
Charlotte’s povWhen we got back to the pack mansion everyone was happy and celebrating.“What’s this?” I asked Logan who smiled a little.“When the Alpha King wins the challenge then a celebration is held. A feast to celebrate the fact that things like war will be avoided” he said, and I nodded.Wouldn’t it be easier to get rid of this rule?I mean if the Alpha King cant be challenged then they wouldn’t be any chances of war.I mean they still would be other issues, but this wouldn’t be one of them.“Come on, even the small victories deserve to be celebrated” Logan said as he took a glass of champaign and gave it to me.I don’t remember letting lose, I don’t remember the last time I slept without any worry.I took a sip, “you ready for this party?” Alexa asked dancing around the room.Justice was standing in a corner all alone looking somewhat glum.“What is wrong brother?Shouldn’t you be happy that our father won and made it out alive?” Logan asked him and he looked at both of us.
Charlotte’s pov I went back inside and found everyone still celebrating.Logan was drinking way too much; I think he feels guilty because he is actually relieved.Although he considers Mr Knight his family he is still happy that his father didn’t suffer from all of this.I guess I would say that it’s a bittersweet moment for him.I went and sat next to me, he put his arm on my shoulder as they were talking with some of the pack members.His father wasn’t around, I guess he is probably drowning his own sorrows somewhere.You know being betrayed is probably the worst feeling in the world.He is probably angry and also feeling sad for his friend who had just lost everything.Being banished from a pack is worst punishment than death, but at the same time he will still be alive.So, he is probably debating if what he did was better or if there was another option or if he could have done somethings differently.I wondered as well when my mother didn’t choose me.Was I a terrible daughter t
Logan’s povShould I tell her what I think about the curse or what I found out?I mean this witch targeted my family and also target Charlotte.Is it possible that I was the witch’s target?I mean the witch made a proposal to Sasha.Of all the people in the world she chose Sasha who is very vengeful and would do anything to achieve her goals.This is could be the same person that is helping the witches hunting down Charlotte.What is the connection between them?Is it the same person or is it all just a coincidence? It can’t be right? there just too many coincidences for them to be just that, the first is that she is my trigger. The second is that Ryder had visions of Reene before he even met her.But I noticed something as well, although they had the same faces they were different.Just the same way Reene and Charlotte are different from each other.The hairstyles, it was if the girl he saw in his dreams and was warned about was from a different time.That is what made me think t
Logan’s povWhat Sasha did really was a sin, but I am more interested in the person pulling the strings.I admit that they took advantage of Sasha’s greed, and she is not completely innocent.Hell, she is far from it considering that she doesn’t regret what she did even though her father is the one paying for it.“I do have a question for you Mr Knight, did you daughter by any chance tell you more about the witch?” Charlotte asked him.He thought about it and shook his head.“not really, she just said that the witch approached her” he answered.“But then how? If someone else had entered this pack then you would have known.If the witch approached Sasha it means she was keeping an eye on her.But how?And where did she find Sasha?” Charlotte asked.She always seems to have the right questions; I didn’t even think about that.This means that the witch probably has a mole here or tabs on everyone here.I feel like we are dealing with someone who just wants to start a war.“I wish I could
Charlotte’s pov“If that is what you are saying then I think we should stay. Or we will never solve this mystery” Alexa said.“Well, I have been thinking about it for some time” I said, and she looked at me.“Ryder died after 3 years of meeting Reene.So I am going to assume that the timeline is somewhere between 2 and 3 years.Then Logan will die if I stay with him” I explained to her.Someone out there really doesn’t want me to live happily ever after.“So, we have that amount of time to figure out this mystery and end the curse?” she asked me, and I nodded.“If we don’t figure it out by the end of this years we will leave and disappear.Are you okay with the plan?” I asked Alexa who nodded.“Yes, I am perfectly fine with it. For now, let’s wait for the seer and see what they have to say” she said, and I nodded.“That’s all we can do, until Sasha makes her move there is nothing else that can be done” I said.We went down for breakfast, and everyone was already there.“Actually, Just
Charlotte’s povThere was silence.I would hate to be right about this.Because if I am right then Justice and Sasha would be eviller than I thought.“I don’t know what you are talking about” Clara said, and I nodded.“Thank goodness then,I would hate that someone that would reject his mate would be the Alpha King.He would bring nothing but misfortune,especially with a wife and Queen Like Sasha” I said and then smiled.“Well, it’s a good thing that would never happen right?” I said then walked away and went back to have breakfast.“You were gone for some time, is everything okay?” Logan asked me and I nodded.What I have is nothing, but a hunch and I will be honest I trust my hunches more than I trust people.They have never really lied to me or disappoint me at all.Every time they turned out to be true, even the way Clara denied it told me that it was true.“I am okay, just had to follow a hunch” I said, and Alexa looked at me curious.She knows that my hunches are always on poin
Alexa’s povBabysitting?If I didn’t love Charlotte I would have killed her the moment she suggested that I baby sit that girl.How will I survive following this girl around?Everyone can say whatever they want, and she doesn’t even fight back.She gets bullied and doesn’t do anything about it.Forgive me but I really can’t stand weak people.“So, what do you need to do?” she asked me, and I just shrugged.“Just keep on going on your normal day.You don’t need to worry about me, I will just keep my distance” I said.Why would sister Charlotte want me to follow her?There is nothing special about her aura or even her.At times I tend to forget how my sister doesn’t know how to mind her own business.So, she just had to do this, we are just here to keep safe from the witches.Soon we will be leaving anyways.I know her, when she realizes that our presence will put everyone in danger she will want to leave.And with that witch who can somehow locate Charlotte we cant be safe.They could
