**Sasha pov**Another dark jet black wolf sprung from nowhere, colliding with Charlie mid air as they both forcefully crashed into the lake. Both were submerged under the water. I held me breath waiting for Charlie to surface, when there seemed to be a hesitation I began to wade into the lake. Suddenly Emmett burst to the surface in human form cradling Charlie to his chest. I continued to wade out toward them."She's burning up." He yelled."Keep her in the cold water" I gasped reaching them both."Danny go get the pack Doctor now." He roared as Danny took off in the direct of the pack hospital."What the hell happened?" Emmett turned to me."We were hanging out and just laying on the lakes edge and then they showed up." I responded watching Charlie's face contort in discomfort."They?""Shadow people." I replied. "Lost souls that live in the shadows or walk the ghost roads.""Why...." Emmett began but was cut off by a groan from Charlie, his attention switched to Charlie. "Shhhh its
**Sasha POv*My stomach churned and I hadn't been able to sleep at all , my eyes were burning in my head from exhaustion. Danny silently sat next to me and gave me a knowing smile as he squeezed my hand before digging into a plate piled high with breakfast foods."How can you eat?" I muttered. She smiled at me his cheeks puffed out with the scrambled egg he had shovelled in."Nothing comes between a werewolf and food." He smirked.I returned to picking at the plate of pancakes in front of me when I felt the tone of the pack dining room change. Glancing up I spotted Charlie enter with Emmett she spotted me and waved cheerfully. After briefly conversing with Emmett she approached me where I sat with Danny. Those she passed bowed their heads slightly some offering "Good morning Luna" greetings as she passed. Charlie smiled and responded to them all before sitting into the chair opposite me."Morning." She smiled cheerfullyI dropped my fork in disbelief She looked amazing. Her face and s
**Charlie POV**I wandered a little aimlessly around the large private wing Emmett had in the pack house trying to entertain myself having got the all clear from Dr Teller and convincing Emmett I was fine alone so he could help his parents meet the pack members and get ready for the match ball that night. I finally was thankfully to see the seamstresses who arrived with my dress for my last fitting for the Match ball gown Luna Catherine had provided me with. The housekeeper then informed me someone would call to my master suite at five to help me with hair make up and dressing and I thanked her. Feeling alone suddenly despite being surrounded by everyone in the pack house I decided to find Sasha. I wandered up to the room she had been allocated in the guest wing along side Danny, my father and Grandfather. I flung open the door to her room only to walk in on Sasha in a naked passionate embrace with someone on her bed. Sasha and her suitor both taken by surprise looked at me and it was
**Charlie POV*I watched in a mixture of embarrassment and amusement as Emmett physically removed his mother and Sasha from the room. He wandered back to the bed but we both knew the passionate moment had passed."Well that was awkward." I giggled."I can't believe they didn't knock." Emmett grumbled."So tell me Little Tudor how did you awaken your wolf." Emmett asked sitting back against the bed headboard a genuine look of interest on his face."I don't know. I was getting ready for the mate ball and I was talking to the twins and suddenly she spoke." I replied moving slightly closer to him. Sensing my need to be close to him Emmett picked me up placing me in his lap and an embarrassed flushed passed over my face."It's a mate bond thing. The need you feel now to be near me is heightened because you're pregnant. Our presence calms each other. What were you talking to the twins about?" He murmured his face buried in my hair"Just how strange it was that their Mama was a Luna of the C
*Charlie POV*I could feel Emmett's rage. I could also sense the guy with his arm around me was not going to relent his deluded claim on me."he's going to shift." She informed me."no he can't Emmett could get hurt." I panickedSoairse smirked "unlikely but I liked this dress and something tells me Titan is about to get it covered in this fools blood""Titan?"soairse purred "Emmett's wolf my amazing mate Titan"Now I was super panicked I couldn't let this happen. I could feel something change in me. A green orb appeared in my free hand Soairse knew what to do she rose to my surface i felt slightly like I could see everything but was no longer in charge of my movements."I said let me go." my voice came from my mouth. The man who had his arms on me let me go as if I was fire and jumped back. I stepped towards him."I don't believe we have met I am Charlie Tudor Luna of the the Celtic Crescent Moon Pack and I think its time you left." I added as I raised my hand and he rose off the fl
** Emmett POV ***I marked her so easily and felt her pleasure shudder through her as I licked my bite sealing it. I continued to move against her delicious body when I felt her arch up slightly and her green eyes darkened as she bit my marking spot. A massive green light exploded in front of eyes and I felt a surge of massive power run through me."Charlie." I cried as I exploded inside her.Charlie ran her tongue over my mark.After a few moments she nudged me"You okay there Big bad Alpha?" She asked."Yes but that was amazing my little Tudor." I smiled. She went to get up I reached out and grabbed her arm. "Where are you going?" I murmured."I need a quick shower and comfy clothes." she smiled."Okay." I sighed letting her go. I fell into a sleep and only woke when I heard the bedroom door open and saw Charlie standing there in one of my t-shirts."Whats up Little Tudor?" I asked her. I could feel her upset and despair through our mate bond."Theres no icecream and cookies in your
**Charlie POV ***"Charlie stop." Emmett caught up with me and grabbed my arm. His Alpha tone creeping into his voice. He spun me to face him. "Charlie you are not doing this you are going home.""Did you just use your Alpha tone on me?" I asked."Yes. You will listen to me and go back." his eyes flashed black as he attempted to order me to do his bidding."Your not the boss of me Emmett." I responded."I'm the Alpha of this pack and you are mine. You will listen to me." he said in his low Alpha tone."No chance" I stubbornly retorted pulling my arm free and walking away. "I belong to no one." I called over my shoulder.Emmett's arms enclosed my body from behind."You will listen to me little Tudor." he whispered. My protests froze in my mouth as his hands grabbed my wrists and he placed them on the bark of the tree in front of me. Holding my hands in place with one hand he ran his other hand down my body grabbing my breast in his hand."You are mine Little Tudor." he breathed in my e
**Emmett POV**As more Celtic Crescent Moon Pack members continued to show up we were kept very busy integrating them into the warriors old village, setting up a school for the pups and finding jobs for the adults. It had been a few days since the departure of our parents my father had been delighted at the prospect of a break away with my mother and had left me in charge of Daphne also. My sassy sister had decided my parents absence was the perfect time to skip school and take off to the mall for the day."Did she think they wouldn't tell me. I am Alpha of this pack." I moaned slamming down the phone after the high school. Adam smothered a smirk."She wolves what you going to do." he replied shrugging."How are things with you and Casey?" I asked massaging my own temples"Oh my god man she is so perfect." He smiled."Good. I like her she's an Alpha's daughter and a good Beta female she is impeccably professional a real lady." I nodded"A real lady that you see. Not so lady like in ot
Charlie PovIt had been a few months since Carmen had departed this world. We had all returned to our homes, Emmett had stayed behind to help Alpha Carlos in his pack based in Rome sentence and deal with what was left of Carmen's rogue army. We had kept our promise and created a royal council with a seat from every section of mystical and magical species represented. We had held the first one this morning and it had gone well despite the Vampire King Nicklaus slight annoyance that Emmett had asked for and won the vote to allow the Rebal Vampire King a vote on the council. It was unlikely he would attend the meetings or even take up his vote but I agreed with my mate, giving him a vote was a sign of respect. Queen Poppy had also agreed it was the right thing and argued with her husband it was just one vote and he had a right to a vote. Once Poppy threw her support behind me and Emmett the other council members agreed and King Nicklaus had reluctantly given in. It was the start of a new
Emmett POVThe fog dispersed and I let out a huge sigh of relief when I saw my mate walk towards Carmen and hold her as Daphne raced towards us. The Syphon Twins moved first gathering vials of the potion. As Madame Lux walked towards the fallen old witch. I made my own move and soon I was next to my mate, Jagger howling contentedly in my head as we discreetly checked her for injury. "Here." Jessica said holding out the potion to Charlie. Charlie however shook her head and dropped Carmen back onto the grass. "My blood may seal her away to the earth but someone else can finish her. I'm done with her i have worried and thought about this woman far too much" Charlie replied a cold tone to her voice. It didn't seem like Charlie was scared or upset even about binding the old witch forever there was something else that I couldn't place in my mates emotions. It was like an indifference that was now just rolling off her. She seemed numb in this moment. Taking the potion from Jessica she turn
Charlie Pov. Carmen's spell moved towards me and I dug deep trying to push my own spell back towards her. everyone relied on me and I had to win. I was born for this moment and I was failing. It was then I saw the change in the air as the small slitter appeared next to me and Sasha stepped out. "Hello Charlie." she said. I looked slightly frantic to see if Daphne was seeing this too but we were in a dense fog now and all I could see was the glow of the magic illuminating Carmen and Sasha she looked like herself but different. I knew instantly she was a merage or just a ghost of her former self and my heart lurched slightly. "Nothing can bring back the dead Charlie but it is me or at least my essence." she added seemingly knowing what was in my head. "let go your guilt over my death." She whispered. "tap into every corner of my power and the combined power of everyone who agreed to lend you their strength." she advised me. "They had no choice." I gritted out under the strain of Car
Emmett POVI watched in horror as my mate and sister were now face to face with Carnen and I was helpless. "Charlie." I yelled but she didn't acknowledge me. "I can't link our mate." Titan growled in my head. I made for the circle but King Nicklaus tackled me. "Let me go." I snarled. "The forcefield could kill you now it's not broken anymore. Charlie slipped by with Daphne I don't think you can pass." he reasoned before I could argue. We were hit by a new wave of rogues. "Shit." Danny yelled "they just keep coming." he growled. "I have help." Viola called as more Vampire's joined the fight. "Who are these Vampire's" King Nicklaus growled. "The rebel Kings men." Tristan responded. "But why?" Nicklaus began. "Because Carmen and her witches hurt my daughter." a voice answered. "And its that simple?" Nicklaus looked sceptical. "For me it is." the king responded as Nicklaus nodded and returned to the fight on hand. "Danny, Gideon and I will hold the line around Daphne and Cha
Charlie POV Viola's odd words washed over me. "Did she just say Dad." Soairse asked me in my head as I nodded slightly. "Hello Viola." he replied as around us other Vampire's now fought to keep us inside a safe ring and the Rebal King safe. "I heard you were fighting here with the wolves and Nicklaus Vampire's." he growled. Tristan moved to Viola's side protectively at the sound of the growl. "Back off punny Vampire. The only thing in this world I wouldn't hurt and would lay my life down for is my Princess Viola." he snarled. "Then it appears we share that." Tristan responded as he wrapped a protective arm around her waist. He raised his eyebrow in a suspicious glance. "Where is Sebastian?" he asked as a strange look crossed his face one I could not quite read. "Dead." Tristan snapped as the Vampire Rebel Kings eyes swung to Tristan. "At your hand?" Viola moved slightly between the two glaring males and hung her head. "No father I killed Sebastian he sold me to the witches
Charlie POVHaving eaten and made a crude plan for how this would all go to try get the best tactical advantage.We now had most people gathered on the weird little witches island. It was the perfect scene for a supernatural showdown as it was still bound and hidden by magic meaning it was obscured from human eyes. Adam and Max had returned with the Syphon Twins Jessica and Elizabeth. Having discussed a brief plan with us we finally agreed the best thing to do was bind us all together in the blood spell that would banish Carmen for good. By using all the high ranking shifters and mystical creatures it would be impossible for us to ever be weak again. The witches and the fairies agreed to allow the twins Syphon off a little of their magic too to strenght the spells core and then there was Daphne who held the strange magic from the ancient grimore who would also be happy to lend this new found magic to the twins. This was how we found ourselves all staring at the twins , Madame Lux, Da
Daphne Pov I heard Max leave and I drifted back into a restless sleep. I had no idea why I thought I had come to some place where I could live with the grief and misery but over the last few days a darkness had crept over me. I could hear voices in the distance. "What's wrong with her?" my brother Emmett's voice came through the thin walls of my tent and into the brain fog I was under. "I don't know." my father responded. "I think we should just give her space." Charlie's voice joined the conversation. A small smile played on my lips Charlie was a true Luna and her instincts were strong. "I'll talk to her." she added gently and I knew she was shooing the men away. I heard Charlie unzip my tent slightly before calling me. "Daphne?" She called gently. I didn't move but I knew her wolf sensed I was awake as she crawled into the tent and sat next to me. She silently placed her hand on mine and I felt her Luna touch ease my tense body slightly. "Daphne?" She asked again softly. "What
Max PoV I was delighted to get off site and away from everyone and whilst I was apprehensive about leaving Daphne it was a welcome break from her overwhelming misery that flooded our bond. She barely looked up from the sleeping bag she lay on when I told her I was leaving. I was tempted to tell her to pull herself together but I bit my tongue I didn't mean it I was just wondering would tough love draw out the spunky Daphne I knew. I sighed aloud and Adam who was driving turned to look at me. "Hey kid I know we aren't the closest of friends but we are pack and I am here for you." Adam said catching me slightly off gaurd my confusion must have been etched on my face. "I don't talk about feelings much but that doesn't mean I don't spot them." Adam smirked as I nodded. "Why don't you just talk. I'm all ears but I won't be telling anyone. I'm the best person no one will suspect I know a thing." he reasoned and I opened my mouth to respond when the story of Daphne's choice and our lost b
Emmett PoV We all found Prince Quentin and his fairy companions in the basement room observing the circle quietly when I entered with Charlie he looked up at us. "It's a strong fairy ring." he sighed and my face fell. "The fairies that created this are of as ancient a blood line as my own. Makes sense why Carmen targeted them." he added. "This blood line is going to be tough to over power." one of the other fairies agreed as they stared at the stone circle again with out stretched hands. They appeared to be feeling and pushing against a force we could not see. "And they all perished by Carmen's hand?" Quentin asked me without looking from the ring. "all but one." Emmett replied. "Of course otherwise the ring would break. Carmen has the fairy I assume?" Quentin asked again in a cold direct manner. "No we have her here." I responded. "Then why waste our time Werewolf kill the fairy and the magic dies simple." the older fairy companion snapped as he turned his glare at me and Cha
