Chapter Five

Charlotte POV 

I jerked awake from my sleep.

“What's the time?” I asked Zoey and Zoey shook her head in ignorance. 

Damn…. What was I thinking sleeping off here? She doesn't even have a phone.

I stood up and looked at the window. It was somewhere around past eight.

I slept for over three hours.

‘Oh my God, Nicholas is going to kill me,’ I muttered in my head.

I straightened myself and prepared to leave the room. I crossed my fingers because I knew Nicholas was going to be very angry.

I put my head in my palms, thinking about what I had just done.

I was so horny and desperate for intimacy and solace that I had slept with a rogue, not just any rogue I had engaged in lesbianism?

Gosh!

I was not a lesbian. This kingdom hated lesbians. If they ever found out I was one then I was done for. Damn…I was so fucking stupid.

I felt great, yes! I had the best blowjob of my life and the way she fondled my boobs..mmmm...

No man had ever touched me like that. Nicholas had a large penis and his stroke game was insane but he was not close to what Zoey had just done to me.

I slept like a baby after I had cummed.

I felt relieved, I felt light because I had removed all the sexually starved energy but one thing kept hitting me– regret!

This rogue has seen my nakedness. Would she have any respect for me again?

She fondled and played with her Luna's clitoris, I even kissed her and sucked on her boobs. What would she now think of me?

What if she told Nicholas or the elders that I had sex with her? I would be burnt at the stake and be disgraced. The moon goddess forbids that! 

Everything about this meeting was wrong! Everything!

What was I thinking? I began to calculate lies in my head that I would tell Nicholas as soon as I stepped out of the room.

Zoey noticed me pacing around the room and she began to be concerned.

“Are you okay, Luna?” She asked. “You seem dizzy.”

I ignored her. Why did she not turn me away when she noticed that I came to her room to look for solace?

Did she not know the laws surrounding the werewolf world on same sex intimacy?

Zoey was naked. She stood up from the bed and walked closer to me. She touched my face and tried to turn my face to look at her.

“Zoey, I'm fine! Why can't you listen?” I yelled at Zoey. I felt irritated at that moment. 

Everything that Nicholas had done to me, the cheating plus seeing Clara that way all came back to me and I unleashed the anger at Zoey.

Zoey looked intrigued. She cared about me and just wanted to see to it that I was okay. I think I was being rude to her.

“I’m sorry, Luna, I just wanted to make sure you were okay,” Zoey recoiled and stepped back from me a bit.

“Leave me alone!” I continued to yell at Zoey.

I picked up my clothes that were on the floor and began to wear them one by one.

Gosh! I was in hot soup!

Would Nicholas discover that I smelled like sex? 

I wanted to slap myself.

I put on all my clothes and I frowned my face throughout so that Zoey would not have any boldness to say anything to me.

I began to storm out of the room. 

“Luna Charlotte!”

“Luna Charlotte!”

Zoey called me and tried to ask me to set times for us to meet and I ignored her.

The sex I had with Zoey was the first lesbian sex I would have with anyone and the last! 

Zoey was honestly out of her mind if she thought I was going to sleep with her again.

I walked out of the room and quickly walked away from the lobby that connected Zoey's room to the palace so that none of the maids would suspect that it was Zoey's room I was coming from.

I look scattered and disheveled. My heart was beating in my chest.

I was now in the lobby that led to my room and as I wanted to open the door of my room, Nicholas came out of it and pulled my arms to the side of the lobby.

What was he doing inside my room? 

“Where the hell were you, Charlotte?” He barked at me. Nicholas naturally had a husky voice so I knew that with time, people would start coming out of their rooms.

I had suddenly forgotten all the things I had planned to say. What I had planned to lie about so I used an old method I knew would work–gaslighting!

“I should be asking you. You made a woman pregnant and accepted for her to stay in the pack and expected me not to disappear?” I yelled at him.

I would give him back the taste of his own medicine.

“We can speak about that later. I asked you a question. It's one simple question. Where were you?” Nicholas' grip on my hand was now tighter.

I was really in deep shit.

“Well..I was somewhere, crying my eyes out. You're so damn heartless and wicked. Can you not see that my eyes are swollen?” I asked Nicholas. I was hoping that manipulating him would let him leave me alone.

“You're joking with me right?” Nicholas questioned me. 

“I had my guards turn this whole pack upside down and we could not find you. Where were you hiding? I'm your husband. I own you! I have the right to question you of your whereabouts. I don't care if you were crying or not!” 

My eyes widened when Nicholas said those words. I always knew he was full of himself but I didn't know that his narcissistic traits were this terrible.

He was slowly revealing himself to me. 

“I was in the third guestroom in the east wing,” I lied through my teeth.

Nicholas squeezed my arm even more. I squirmed.

“That's a lie. And you… why do you smell like sex?” He asked as he continued to sniff me.

“I was in the bathroom in the east wing. I masturbated and when I was tired, I did not realize that I had fallen asleep there. Are you happy now?” I yelled so loud that Clara had now come out.

She stood clueless by the entrance of the lobby watching the both of us. 

When Nicholas saw her, he let go of my arm. 

“You know there's a rogue attack. It is my job to keep you safe. If anything happens to you, I have your father to contend with. You think I want that?” Nicholas finally lowered his voice.

He then held my chin with his hand and pushed it away forcefully. I wondered why he did that? 

I felt so ashamed that he harassed me this way in front of Clara. 

He would not even let me enter the room. The walls were sound proof. There, we could yell at each other as much as we wanted and no one would hear.

When Clara saw that our voices were now lowered and we had stopped our little drama, she walked up to me and greeted me.

“Hello, Luna's Charlotte.”
