But, I didn't know what Roman had hoped to convey with his statement, and if I hadn't been so sleep-deprived, I might have been able to take it as the reassuring comment I was hoping he meant it to be. "Ready to go?" Charlotte asked me with a bag hanging from her hands. I had told her to pack whate
"Oh, this is too good." Charlotte's voice was thick with humor, and I scowled at her. "Can you hand me this in a minute?" I carefully placed the tray of burning leaves into her hands and climbed onto the first level of branches. The hive buzzed loudly, getting angry that I was bothering them. I gr
Charlie's P.O.V. The voice made me tense, and I glanced around Damien's broad back. The woman was too young to be his mother, and from how large her belly was, I estimated she was about seven months along. Her black hair was thick and braided, hanging over her chest, ending at her belly button. "O
I nodded in response but kept my lips pressed together as she jogged away and collided against the man's chest with a giggle. "She's nice," I whispered to Damien, and he nodded before taking the tray of honeycomb from me and balancing it on the top of our bag against the wooden wall of his mother's
Charlie's PO.V. I held my ground, forcing myself to stand tall when all I wanted to do was shrink away from the angry gathering of bears behind my mate's mother. Eden Wilde. She was not a woman I would win over easily, and based on the look on Damien's face, she was not the only one I would have to
"It is from both of us." He corrected, grabbing my hand again, but it didn't feel the same. The tension in his body made it feel forced, and I resented his mother for having this effect on him. She should have stood up for him to their sleuth. I understood that wolves and bears were different in so
"So, I should be blamed for the actions of the few? Why would I not stand up for myself, and why didn't you stand up for me?" My pointer finger thrust in his direction, but he looked up at the canopy of trees and took several deep, calming breaths. "I did stand up for you, but there is a way to go
Charlie's P.O.V. My fur did little to keep me warm that night. I had been expecting it to be chilly without a tent or a blanket, and it was. But the way my body shook was more than just from the weather. I felt like I was going through withdrawal. Damien let out a low whine before moving to my sid

That was fine by me.I didn't want her anywhere near him either.I let out a low chuckle, feeling proud of the spot I had selected for this, as the sound echoed off the rock wall on one side and bounced between the trees on the other.Xander's eyes widened, and he began to pull harder. I had left th
Damien's P.O.V. - Seven months laterIt was almost too easy.He was nervous, his head turning back and forth as he scanned the area, but he wouldn't see me. Not until I wanted him to, at least.He knew I was out here, and if he were smart, he would know what was coming.I didn't have much time as Ch
I knew he had a lot of work to do after the war, and the fact that he took time out of his schedule to come here today meant the world to me. "There is nowhere else that I should be today." He smiled, and I nodded as I glanced back at Natalie. She was looking at her mate with all the love in the wo
Charlie's P.O.V. I hadn't been expecting it to happen so soon. I wanted it to, but Elder Artis and Damien managed to have the ceremony prepared in three weeks, just in time for the full moon. My hands shook as I stood in Eden's den. The short white dress I wore had been borrowed from Olli and mad
Eden went inside as Damien and Olli fawned over the new addition to their sleuth, and I tensed as I noticed Elder Artis approaching. I hadn't seen her with the others who had shown up to welcome us, and I wondered if we were about to have a repeat of my first visit here.Damien didn't look up as his
Charlie's P.O.V.Even though I was walking into the den of angry bears, who had wanted nothing to do with me previously, the scent of Damien's sleuth was comforting. It wasn't my home, but he was, and I loved his scent.I wasn't sure what I had been expecting, but to see everyone outside with Eden W
All of the men were present and solemn. "What happened?" I hesitated, letting out a deep breath when Marlene pushed through the swinging kitchen door with a tray of drinks, smiling at me warmly like everything was right in the world. Everyone looked healthy but unhappy as she passed out the mugs o
