CharlotteItโs hard to finish my food knowing that tonight I will be marked by my mates. Iโm not fully sure if Iโm ready for this step, but I know that the tension with their dad will get worse if I donโt comply so I want to get it over with.Iโm just grateful that they seem respectful towards the whole โno sexโ thing right now. Then again, I can vaguely remember the sensational pleasures that I would get from being with them.There was a lot of things wrong with our relationship in my past life, but sex was not one of them.Once we all finish our meal, Cassian looks at me and asks, โSo, what now, Charlotte?โMaddox looks at me as they both wait for my answer. I swallow the lump in my throat and say, โWell, now, I suppose I should go out with one of you so we can get more bonded and mark one another. Thenโฆ Iโll go out with the other one.โThey both look to one another before asking, โWho goes first?โThey look at me as they wait for me to make the decision which makes things a hundred
CharlotteIโm beginning to understand why most couples have intercourse whenever they mark each other. The piercing white hot pain that courses through my body is unbearable, but I also know that if I was in the throes of passion then it would help ease the pain just a little bit.Thereโs a fine line between pain and pleasure.I can feel Cassianโs lips on my face as he peppers me with kisses and tries to help me through the pain, but I donโt think he can help me through it. How could he? Thereโs nothing I can do but force myself to breathe and try to get through it.Eventually, I blink away the pain and his face comes into focus. His forehead is creased with concern and he asks, โAre you alright, Char?โI nod my head slowly, โIโll be okay, thanks Cassian.โHe nods his head in response and then after a moment he looks back at the view and murmurs, โI suppose I should take you back.โHe moves to get up, but stops when I say, โWait!โHe looks at me with concern shining in his amber colo
CharlotteItโs like Iโm not in control of my own body.I wasnโt planning on kissing Maddox, not like this. But suddenly, my arms are wrapped around his neck, his lips are pressed to get mine, and I have the urge to slip my tongue into his mouth and taste every bit of him.My breasts are pressed against his chest and I can feel his length grow against me. Now I want to taste more than just his mouth.Arousal pools between my legs and I donโt know what has gotten into me. I swear, itโs like Iโm in heat or something! Which, you know, that would be impossible for me considering the fact that I donโt have a wolf.Maddoxโs hands roam down my back until he reaches my butt and gives it a firm squeeze making me gasp. At that moment he slipped his tongue into my mouth and I couldnโt help but moan into him.I clutch onto his shirt as my mind goes wild, but after a moment, he pulls away from me and breathes out. His eyes are closed as he says, โAs much as Iโm enjoying this and I donโt want to sto
MaddoxCharlotte stares at me with her wide cobalt blue eyes. She seems surprised by my words and Iโm not sure why. She breathes out and asks, โWhat about Cassian?โMy eyebrows furrow, I donโt understand whyโs he needs to bring him up and I ask, โWell, what about him?โโHow are we supposed to do this? You both want me for yourselves. Iโm supposed to be Luna of two packs which honestly seems like an impossible featโฆ I justโฆโ her voice trails off and she lets out a defeated sigh.Her shoulder slump, hair falls in front of her, and my eyes zero in on her perfect puckered lips. I want to capture them with mine and enjoy it forever. My fingertips brush against her cheek as I move her hair behind her ear. Her eyes flicker up to meet mine and her lips part open and suddenly, Iโm in a trance. I couldnโt escape even if I wanted to.I lean into her and the moment her lips are against mine I know that I am a goner for her. There is nothing I wouldnโt do to make her happy.If working with my idio
CharlotteI donโt know what has gotten into me! I donโt know if itโs the bond or him or what, but all I know is I have the desperate need for Maddox. I want to be intimate with him in every way imaginable. I want to be as close as possible.Iโm his mateโฆ I should stop running from him.I lean down to kiss him and his greedy lips eagerly meet mine. He quickly maneuvers me so that Iโm lying flat on my back and he is hovering over me. He sits on his knees in front of me and spread my legs to be on either side. I watch him as he takes his belt off and my face feels hot as I stare at him.He unbuttons his pants and quickly takes them off before hooking his fingers into my bottoms and then sliding them off my legs. He lifts one of my legs up and starts kissing near my ankle. He slowly kisses up my leg until his face is at my pussy. His hot breath fans over it and goosebumps cover my body,His tongue moves up my slit and I canโt help but squeak in response. Iโve never experienced anything li
CharlotteAfter our thrillingโฆ encounter, Maddox and I ate our food and then ended up falling asleep on the floor on top of the picnic blanket. Falling asleep in his arms was pure bliss but when I woke up I couldnโt help the guilt I felt for sleeping with Maddox and not Cassian.Will Cassian be upset with me? Will he understand?I donโt know. The rivalry the twins have with one another seems to go deep and Iโm not sure how understanding either of them will be when it comes to the other.I sit up and look around the room. Our room.Itโs completely empty, no decorations or anything. The only thing here is curtains that cover one part of the room. I imagine on the other side of the curtains are large windows or even a balcony that shows a good view of the pack. I look down at Maddox, his dark brown hair falls in front of his forehead, itโs just long enough to go past his eyebrows. I wonder if heโs letting his hair grow out or if itโs just time for him to cut it again.His shirt is off s
CharlotteWhen Maddox and I walked into the dining room I was surprised to see that the only other person in here is his mom. Luna Anna looks at us and smiles as she sees a mark on each side of my neck.She walks towards me and says, โIโm sorry that the Alpha made that stipulation on you, but I must say I am relieved that it didnโt phase either of my sons and that youโre now officially part of our family!โI smile in response as I nod my head and say, โThank you, Luna Anna.โShe shakes her head, โNo need for the formalities, Charlotte. You can call me Anna and one day when you feel close enough maybe you could call me mom.โShe winks after saying that and I laugh as Maddox murmurs in a whiny tone, โMomโฆโHer green eyes flicker with mischief and she says, โShush, son, sheโs your mate! What do you expect from me? Itโs not like Iโm bringing out naked baby pictures! Although, you know, I really should do that!โMaddox hisses, โMom!โAlpha Ethanโs voice echoes in the room as he says, โCome
CassianCharlotte looks at me with this adorable little pout and her eyebrows are knit together in confusion. The memory of seeing her for the first time pops in my head. I was only 11 almost 12 whenever we went to the ruins of the Southern River Pack looking for survivors.The Southern River Packโs demise was a reminder to us all that no pack is safe. They were strong and were lead by one of the best Alphaโs that my father said he has ever met. My dad would never admit it but I saw a tear fall down his face when we found Alpha Haleโs body. Every one of us went looking for survivors. We found a young boy that I know now is Charlotteโs friend Sebastian. He was hidden in a room and when he wouldnโt answer any questions that Beta Luke asked him, he was taken to the cars to be brought back home. The other warriors stopped looking in that room after they found Sebastian, but I knew someone else was still there. I searched and searched until I found a girl hidden beneath the floorboards.
CharlotteMy entire day something just seems off. I donโt know how to explain it and I canโt exactly put my finger on it, but something about today is different.I feel like Iโm going insane. I think that I died and have been rebirthed, but Iโm doubting myself. Something about itโฆ I donโt know. It just doesnโt sound like it could even be possible.All of my actions are normal, I do my chores, go to training, eat lunch, thereโs nothing eventful going on. Butโฆ still.Iโm so caught up in my thoughts that I donโt notice something sitting in the floor and I trip over it. Right before I hit the ground, a body comes in front of me and catches me. My eyes widen as I fall into the lap of Maddox Stark. The corner of his mouth twitches up into a smile as he asks, โAre you okay?โI slowly nod my head, staring into his eyes and suddenly, it all comes back.This isnโt my second chance at lifeโฆ itโs my third.How is this possible?I push myself out of his arms as I remember the true monster that thi
CharlotteSebastian looks me up and down and his eyes shine with concern and he asks, โAre you okay, Char?โI canโt move my eyes from him, itโs like Iโm seeing a ghost. The longer I donโt answer him the more concerned he looks and he asks, โCharlotte, whatโs going on?โI shake my head slowly as I snap out of my thoughts and say, โNo-nothing. Iโm sorry, Seb, I just had a nightmare.โHe nods his head, but looks at me skeptically and says, โYeah, okay. How are you feeling? Your birthday is only two days away. How do you want to celebrate?โMy birthdayโฆ my birthday is in two days.Something isnโt right. This isnโt how itโs supposed to be, but I donโt know how things should be. I had another life, I know I did. But it seems fuzzy and far away.But in my other life, I was already 18, I already found my mateโฆ or well mates, I was mated to Alpha Cassian and Alpha Maddox Stark, the infamous Stark twins. We had been together for a couple of years, life was mostly miserable, they were the cause
CharlotteI want to scream, but I canโt. I want to call out through the mind link for Maddox to come save me, but itโs like Iโm blocked from speaking to him.Raven pushes her arm in and grabs a fist full of my hair and yanks me out as she throws me to the ground. I cry out as she does this and then hear Cassianโs voice as he yells out, โWhat the hell is going on, Raven?โHis footsteps hurry down the staircase and I turn to him and our eyes meet. He freezes upon seeing me and Raven says, โShe knows, Cassian. She was spying on us.โI force words to come out of my mouth even though it feels like fear has a hold on me, โI didnโt hear anything, I swear.โRaven throws her hands up as she says, โOf course sheโs going to tell you that! She doesnโt want you to know that sheโs a little snoop. Sheโs going to tell Maddox and then what, Cassian?โHis eyes move between the two of us, but he doesnโt come closer. He doesnโt try to help me off the floor and Raven spits out, โYou know what we need to d
CassianI pace back and forth in my room. Iโve made the biggest mistake of my lifeโฆ again! No one knows that Sebastianโs death was my fault in our past life. But in our last life, Maddox liked me and trusted me a bit more. He believed me when I told him that Sebastian had ill intentions, this time he is doubting me.I donโt know what Iโm going to do. I want to hit a reset button.And, of course, she knew I would be feeling that way.Raven shows up out of nowhere and looks at me with a playful smirk on her lips as she says, โHey there, howโd things go?โI roll my eyes and remark sarcastically, โOh, it went fan freaking tastic! Thatโs why Iโm in the same room as Charlotte right now and weโre finally consummating our relationship.โI sit on my bed with a huff and run my fingers through my hair before I ask, โDid it at least work?โRaven tilts her head to the side, her black her swaying as she does and says, โWhat do you think, Cassy?โThe growl that rips from my chest sounds a lot harsh
CharlotteI donโt want to go anywhere with either of the twins. But I know I donโt have a choice.Maddox sat with me for awhile, he tried to give me an excuse a couple of times, but I shut him right up. I donโt want to hear his excuses. I want to know what happened and what heโs hiding from me.We sat for over an hour before Cassian joined us. His eyes flickered between us before he grumbled, โI have the office getting professional cleaned. You should both come back to the Lightning Pack and stay there.โI glare at him and he holds a hand out to help me up, but I refuse to take it. Once Iโm on my feet I cross my arms and say, โIโm going back there because I have no other choice. Want to make this perfectly clear to both of you that I will not lie in the same bed as you.โCassian huffs, โUnderstood.โMaddox tries to argue, โI donโt understand why Iโm being punished when I wasnโt even apart of this. Charlotte, please, hear me out.โI snap, โI donโt want to hear you out! I told you about
CharlotteThis canโt be happening. Maddox promised me.But seeing him and Cassian both covered in blood with Sebastianโs dead body laying at their feet, I canโt help but scream in horror.Maddox stumbles over to me and reaches out as he says, โCharlotte, I can explain.โI step away from him as he gets closer. I shake my head, my jaw is dropped open, and my mouth is dry as I keep breathing in and out. Iโm unable to calm down, this has to be a hallucination or something this canโt be real life!My eyes meet Maddoxโs and I can see the concern in his look, but I feel no sympathy, I only feel anger. I growl out, โYou did this. You promised me that you wouldnโt! You promised me that he would live!โHe argues, โCharlotte, do you really think that if I was involved in this that I would risk you catching me in the act? I wasnโt apart of this! Please, trust me.โTears blur my vision and my eyes flicker between both of the men and I notice how Cassian is alarmingly quiet. I shake my head as I sn
SebastianCassianโs eyes eventually turned back into their normal shade as realization seemed to overwhelm him and he knew who I was. He shakes his head and says, โDamn it, Sebastian! What the hell are you doing here?โI shouldnโt talk back to him, who in their right mind has an attitude when talking to a demon. I must not be in my right mind because I retort, โI could ask you the same question! Isnโt this your brotherโs pack house? Your brotherโs office?!โMy eyes flicker down as I look at the demonic symbol in the center of the room. My eyebrows knit together as I look between Cassian and Raven. Raven looks to Cassian in a panic and states, โHe knows too much, Cass.โHis lips roll into his mouth as he nods and says, โI know, but what are we going to do?โShe laughs, she really thinks heโs telling a joke. But suddenly, she sobers up and says, โOh, you werenโt kidding. The answer is obvious, Cassian.โHe crosses his arm and she looks at me with a wicked smile as she says, โWe have to
RavenChaos, I thrive on it. I need it to live.Cassian finally approved the plan I had to set things right. Heโs allowing is desperation to be the โfavoriteโ cloud his judgement for whatโs really going on.He runs off with Charlotte and goodness, the girl really doesnโt seem to know what sheโs doing. Sheโs like a lost little sheep that needs guidance.As I walk to the Thunderbolt Pack and make sure no one is there I canโt help put think, thereโs no reason for you to worry little lamb, everything will go back to the way that it should be.I find Maddoxโs office and lock the door behind me. This is one of the benefits to not having a true scent, no one will ever know that I was in here. I roll up his rug and look down at the floor. I can feel my power flourish through my fingertips and I close my eyes and smile as I relish in the feeling of power for just a moment.A slow breath escapes my lips and I smirk as I open my eyes.Time to get to work.CassianCharlotteโs busy with Clarissa
CharlotteThat was awkward. I feel like a complete failure from trying to meet and greet Roger and Sam. Hopefully things will get better as we move forward.As Sebastian and I walk to the Lightning Pack he looks at me and says, โSo, I have to askโฆ what is with the get up?โI sigh as I look down at myself and question, โDoes it really look that bad?โHe lets out a hearty laugh then says, โI wouldnโt say that it looks bad, Char, but it doesnโt look like you. Whatโs going on?โโI was going to be introduced as Luna for the first time to Roger and Sam. I didnโt want them to think that I thought I was like better than them or something so I tried to dress down.โโAnd by โdressing downโ you thought you should act country? What was with your accent?โI throw my face into my hands out of embarrassment and I murmur, โI canโt believe I did that.โSebastian chuckles, โYou donโt need to worry about what anyone else thinks, Char. Youโre perfect just the way you are and Iโm sure that both of your ma
