Charlotte's POV

I hung the call-up and let out a sigh. I looked out the window. I sighed, tired. I hadn't meant to sleep off at Asher's place and had no idea I would sleep for that long. Mom must be so worried that I had slept out again without informing her beforehand or telling her where I was last night.

The cab man told me he had arrived, and I thanked him and paid him for his services. I got out of the car and walked to my front door.

I walked up the path to my front door, feeling a mix of emotions: guilt, anxiety, and exhaustion. I had spent the night at Asher's house, and now

I knocked on the door, and after a few seconds, my mom opened it. Her expression was a mix of surprise and worry, like she had been up all night waiting for me. I felt even more guilty. I had seen missed calls from her earlier, but I wanted to face her and explain. Like the last time, I didn't mean to sleep over at Asher's place.

"Charlotte?" Mom called, and I gave a sheepish smile.

"Hi, Mom," I mumbled, a

    Charlotte's POVSophie and I walked into the beauty salon, excited for our pampering session. We had booked appointments for hair and nail treatments, and we couldn't wait to feel like princesses for tonight's high school dance. The salon was bustling with activity, but our stylists, Rachel and Emily, greeted us warmly and led us to our stations.As we settled in, Rachel asked me about my hair preferences. "So, Charlotte, what are you thinking? A sleek blowout or something more elaborate?" I hesitated, unsure, but Sophie jumped in with her opinion. "Charlotte, you have to get a braided crown! It'll look stunning with your dress." I nodded, convinced, and Rachel got to work expertly braiding my hair.Meanwhile, Emily worked on Sophie's sleek updo, pinning and tucking strands with precision. We chatted with our stylists about prom, our dresses, and how excited we were to attend our first high school dance. Rachel and Emily shared stories about their own high school dance experiences, ma

    Charlotte's POVAs we reached the bottom of the stairs, Asher stepped forward, a big smile on his face. "Charlotte, you look breathtaking," he breathed out, his voice low and gentle. He handed me a beautiful rose."Perfect, that's what you are."I blushed even harder, feeling self-conscious but thrilled by his compliment. Asher leaned in, his lips brushing against mine in a soft, gentle kiss. It was a sweet, romantic gesture that left me feeling fluttery and feminine.Sophie smiled knowingly, and Asher then noticed her. "Hi, Asher," She greeted timidly. "I... I'm a friend of Charlotte's," Sophie said embarrassingly, and I giggled."Asher, this is my friend Sophie. She'll be coming with us as she has no date," I explained to Asher, and he nodded his head, not taking his eyes off me, which had me blushing even more. He turned for a second to glance at Sophie as if confirming whether she was there or not, and Sophie seemed highly nervous in his presence."Hmm, good to meet you, Sophie,"

    Sophie's POVI danced with Charlotte, laughing and spinning to the music. We were having a fantastic time, letting loose and enjoying the night. But as the song ended, I made my way back to my seat, feeling a little breathless and giddy.Asher called Charlotte, and I watched her walk up to him with a smile on her face. He whispered something in her ears, and she giggled and then blushed.A small smile was dancing on my lips as I watched them from a distance.Going to the high school dance with Charlotte was one of the best decisions I had made in a while. She made the night fun and made sure not to make me feel left out in the activities. She looked up from where she sat with Asher and some of the popular boys from school and waved at me with a bright smile.I waved back, smiling lightly. She looked so beautiful and quickly outshone the other girls present with their excess makeup and fake hair. She was as beautiful inside as she was outside, and I was grateful to have someone like th

    Sophie's POV"You can drop me here, sir," I said, stopping the cab driver. He parked a little far from the pack house, and I didn't want to be seen pulling up in front of the pack house. It would look too suspicious. I paid the man and got out of the car. My dress was too long and uncomfortable; it made me walk slowly.I took the edges and ripped my beautiful dance dress. I watched it rip and almost cried. I had spent so much of my savings on it and looked forward to wearing it all week; now, Dad was making me tear it apart.I bit my lips and walked hurriedly to the packhouse. Thankfully, I had chosen to wear a low, flat black shoe instead of heels that night. I quietly walked to the packhouse. It was dark, and all my life was turned off.Charlotte told me that the Luna and Alphas had given almost all the maids a day off today, and the packhouse was nearly deserted, aside from a few guards stuck around.I peeped and saw two guards by the gate chatting leisurely. I cracked my brain, lo

    Sophie's POV The footsteps I had been hearing for so long were finally fading away. I had been hiding in the store room for what felt like hours, waiting for the coast to be clear. I was starting to feel a little cramped and uncomfortable, but I knew I had to stay hidden until it was safe to come out.Finally, I heard nothing but silence. I slowly opened the door and peeked out, my heart racing with excitement and a little bit of fear. The hallway was dark and empty, and I could see that the coast was clear. I took a deep breath and slipped out of the store room, my eyes scanning the area to make sure I was alone. I took a sniff of the air as werewolves. We had advanced hearing and smelling abilities, and I tried to see if I could catch any scent of the Alpha still being around; thankfully, I couldn't smell any of the three Alphas or the Luna. I finally let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I touched my chest and could feel my heart beating out of it. I took deep breaths, t

    Sophie's POV I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, my heart racing like a wild animal. I had just snuck out of the mansion, and now I was worried about what my dad would say when I got home. I had been thinking about what excuse to come up with, but nothing seemed good enough. I was so scared and worried that I could feel my heart pounding in my chest.As I approached my house, I quickly shifted back to my human form and threw my clothes on. It was pretty hard and a bit painful, but I didn't want Dad to hear me; running in my wolf form was loud enough for him to hear.I changed and, snuck up to the window and peeked inside. My dad was sitting on the couch, watching TV with a frown on his face and a drink in his hand. He looked really upset, and I didn't want to deal with it right now. I was already in enough trouble, and I didn't want to make things worse.I let out a frustrated sigh and sat on the front porch in my torn dance dress and purse in my hand. This night was supposed to

    Sophie's POVAs Kate told me we needed to report my father to the police, I felt a big lump form in my throat. I couldn't stand the thought of it.Dad was going to get arrested. I couldn't let that happen; he was my only family. I was going to be stranded and alone. I bit my lower lip and held Kate tighter."No, Kate, please," I sobbed. "I have no one but my father. I can't do that to him. He's all I have."Kate shook her head stubbornly, not willing to let this go. I could see the anger and pity in her eyes; it made me happy to see someone so eager and ready to fight for me. I felt a tear drop down my face and bent my head, letting them fall. "Sophie, your father deserves to go to jail. He's hurt you, and who knows how many others he hurts? He's always drunk and physically and verbally abuses you. We both know your mom's death was neither your fault nor your father's. I understand he is currently going through a lot as his mate has been taken away from him but look at you. You're a m

    Sophie's POV"The coast is clear, Sophie," Kate said, and I let out a breath of relief and walked towards her to sit tiredly on the couch. She gave me a look of pity, and I just gave her a sad smile."Do you still want to think about it?" Kate asked, and I nodded."Yes, please. I'll make my decision in the morning," I said, and she gave me a supportive smile and hug."Come with me; you're all sweaty and dirty. Let's get you out of that dress and in something more comfortable," Kate said and led me upstairs to a spare room she had since she lived alone in the big house after her husband died and left her with no children.Kate helped me prepare a bath and helped me loosen the lace of my tight dress. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. The dress was pretty tight, and I hadn't even paid attention to it all night since I left the high school dance. I just noticed how much the dress restricted my breathing, and I was thankful to finally have it taken off of me.Although Kate

I growled to the phone and hung up.Someone knocked on my door, and I mumbled for the person to enter. A blonde maid entered with a tray; I was a bit surprised, that was fast from the chef.The tray had a bowl containing some kind of soup in it. I watched her drop the tray on the table, and she bent in front of me, making her white lacy underwear visible. I knew what she was trying to do, so I pulled her by the skirt. She landed on my thigh and made a soft moan-like sound."Master Asher," she whispered seductively, and her eyes blinked in fake innocence. I stared at her for a moment, wondering if I should throw her on the bed and fuck the life out of her, but for some reason, I couldn't. Charlotte's sweet face appeared in my head, and I couldn't imagine touching some other girl that wasn't her. I was suddenly irritated by the girl in my arms, and I growled at h

    Charlotte's POVTHE NEXT DAY "Mom, hurry, we have to leave," I yelled, and Mom came rushing down the stairs giggling."Calm down, will you? A lady has to take her time to dress," She said, and I rolled my eyes."That should be my line," I huffed at her, and she just smiled. We got out of the house and got into the cab that was waiting outside the door.I gave him the address of Mom's hospital, and we set off. On the way to the hospital, I texted Asher to make sure he was okay, and I was surprised when he informed me that he was going to be discharged today. Wasn't it too early?It's barely been three days since the accident and since he was rushed there. I sighed, thinking about how fast his injuries must have healed; he was the Alpha's son, after all, and was stronger than the bunch. The hospital probably only helped speed up his recovery and monitored him. Knowing Asher, I knew he was kind enough to nag and complain about everything, including not staying in the hospital for so lon

    Asher's POV "That's all, Master Asher, you're healing so well and fast; it's very impressive!" The nurse said with a slight blush on her face."When do I get to leave here?" I asked her coldly, and she remained silent for a while before checking her note."Well, according to the hospital policies, you'll still have to stay for about a week until we are sure you're okay and fit to leave," She said, and I scoffed. A week? I was going to be couped up in this room for a week. "A week?" I hissed at her. "I'm healing just fine. I don't feel weak or tired; there's only a little scratch on my head that has stopped bleeding, and I will probably leave there by tomorrow. I don't need to stay here all couped up in this room for another week, all in the name of healing," I said, and she flinched at how harsh my tone was, not that I cared about her."W.. well, you can't leave, according to the hospital -""I am the son of the Alphas; I'm not just some regular patient here; you all should be grate

Could it be.. the same Humphrey?I shook my head; no, it couldn't be. Why would he? How could he.. was he stupid?Being popular in school made everyone want me as their friend and boyfriend. And as many friends as the popularity brought me, it also gathered enemies for me.I knew there were some boys who didn't like me, with that idea that every girl around was fawning over me, and even their crushes and girlfriends shamelessly threw themselves at me.However, since I was not only popular but also came from an influential family, they didn't dare to face me. I was the only son and heir of the Alphas and Luna; I knew every parent wanted their children to be acquainted with the son of the Alphas.And even though they didn't like me, they would put on fake smiles around me and try to make me notice them, not just the boys, but the desperate gir

"I will be out now," I said, and she nodded and left. I turned to Asher and kissed his forehead. "I have to leave now; I'll be back tomorrow, promise, I said to him, and he smirked back at me. "You don't have to worry about me; I'll be fine," He said, trying to act strong, and I rolled my eyes at him. "I know," I said and got up; I waved at him and left the room. Sophie and Tyler were still sitting where I had left them. They were having a conversation, and Sophie had a little smile on her face. I frowned; although Tyler was close friends with Asher, I still didn't like or want him around me. He was my bully, and that would never change. From how he reacted at the dance night, I knew he wasn't too happy to learn Asher and I were together, not that I cared about what he liked and didn't. "Come on, Sophie, let's go," I said, and she

He needs a few days to heal, but he is going to be okay," Doctor Bell announced, and everyone simultaneously let out a breath of relief.I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, and my heart swelled with gratitude. We had all been on edge, awaiting news of Asher's condition.And now, the doctor was out with a smile on her face and was assuring us that Asher would be fine and would recover quickly.Luna Jasmine gasped and ran to her husband, who hugged her back. He stroked her hair softly, and I heard him number something along the lines of, "I told you not to worry, Love. Doctor Bell is here, and she'll make sure Asher recovers quickly," He said, and Luna only nodded quietly.But then, the doctor dropped a bombshell. "Asher is now conscious, which is abnormal, given the severity of his injuries. However, as the Alpha's son, he's stronger than most."Luna

    Chapter 75Charlotte's POV After talking with Sophie, I checked the time and saw it was almost evening. I decided to call Asher to inform him that I would be at the pack house a little later than I planned. Sophie was finally cheering up; I didn't want to leave until I confirmed she was okay.I took out my phone and dialed Asher's number. I waited while it rang for a while before he finally answered. "Hey, Asher, I think I might come around later than I planned today," I said, biting my lower lip in guilt. I had promised to return to the pack house soon, but Sophie needed me, and I couldn't just leave her without making sure she was going to be fine first.There was a few seconds of silence, and I wondered if he was taking in my words or thinking of what to say to me. Or perhaps he was annoyed and didn't want to talk.I parted my lips to speak again, but I heard a voice that made me pause."Hello Charlotte, it's not Asher, it's Tyler. I'm sure you remember me," I heard him speak and

    Third person povAs Asher drove down the silent, lonely, narrow path, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong and something terrible would happen. The trees towered above him, casting deep shadows that made it difficult to see. He had been driving for what felt like hours, and the GPS on his phone insisted that he was still miles away from the pack house.Suddenly, without warning, the black sedan that had been following him appeared out of nowhere, speeding down the road with a screech of tires. Asher's heart raced as the sedan swerved into his lane, heading straight for him.Asher tried to swerve out of the way, but it was too late. The sedan slammed into his car with a loud crash, sending him careening off the road and into a nearby tree. The impact was immense, and Asher's head hit the steering wheel with a sickening thud.The windscreen shattered, sending shards of glass flying everywhere, and the airbag deployed with a loud pop.

Asher had an amused expression on his face as he stared at her. His lips were pulled up to a smile, and he heaved heavily."I'm not stopping you from leaving Charlotte," He said, and Charlotte had a surprised expression on her face."You're not?" She asked to be sure she heard right, and he nodded."Yes, I'm not stopping you from leaving. As much as I don't want you to
