My mother knew the terms I had laid out for her. When she was ready to accept that Charlotte would be in my life and move past her hatred for her kind, she had to come to me. And she did. My mother was standing before me, having traveled farther away from the sleuth than I ever expected, and she h
Charlie's P.O.V. I thought I had been doing better. I thought I was growing and becoming a better sister and friend. Yet, this morning, I woke up, and all of my anger and resentment from my childhood, parents, brother, and Natalie rose to the surface with a vengeance. It was all-consuming, threate
"Calm down, Charlotte. Everything is fine," I said to myself, but when I lifted my hand to brush the hair out of my face, it was shaking. The sound of a throat clearing had me spinning around quickly to face the guard in the open doorway. "Forgive me, Your Highness, but can I get you something?" H
Killian growled when I moved to stand, and I bared my teeth at him for only a moment before his 'precious' mate spoke up. "You…" Her voice drove me crazy, feeding the voices in my head, proving them right. She was toxic and a kidnapper…possibly even a murderer. "You can be executed for harming a
Charlie's P.O.V.I wanted to turn around, march back into Killian's office, and have our long-overdue fight. It felt like it was time to put everything on the table, but not with Natalie there. She couldn't be present for that conversation because he would always choose her and side with her on ever
It was him or me, and while he was better at leading our people, he was no longer fit. His darkness had consumed him, and I wouldn't let it spread across our lands. I moved to the right, staring at my big brother, studying his movements as I looked for weaknesses. It had been years since he had set
Charlie's P.O.V.The cold metal of the shackles bit into my wrists as I stared at the wall ahead of me. The loud, white noise in my head blocked out the other sounds around me, but I was distinctly aware of healers rushing to me to stop the bleeding.It didn't matter though. The more I bled, the bet
Before I could speak, she cut me off, and I slumped back into my chair."Please, don't. Not right now." Her curt tone and glare made me feel like I was the last person she wanted to be around, so I kept my mouth shut.Once this darkness was gone, we could try again.I don't know who 'they' are, but

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
