Thank you all for reading!
Waylon didnt answer me as he sat down. Leaning back in his chair, he held his chin in his hand. The silence wad awkward. It felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. I just sat there and picked at my fingernails. It was my word against my uncle, who is now the king. I didn’t want to be royal, I just wanted to design buildings and live the quiet life. There was very little chance that would happen now. “Listen, I am just going to-” I started talking, trying to break the silence but Waylon interrupted me. “You will be on house arrest until I decide what to do.” He said firmly. “Excuse me?” There was a fire that started burning in the pit of my stomach when he said that. “I dont need to explain myself. You will be escorted to a room on my floor where I can keep an eye on you.” My eyes narrowed at him. “Actually, you do. I out rank you and I’m not against doing what I need to do to get out of here. I have not spent my entire life learning to live on my own for my own
“Can you do it?” Knock! Knock! “Come in.” I said looking at Axel. “It will be tough but I can try.” Axel looked unsure. Paul walked in. “You needed to see me, Alpha.” Standing up, I walked over to him. “You know Charlotte is my mate.” It was a statment, not a question.Panic flashed briefly. He already feels loyalty to her. “Alpha?” “I command you to forget she is my mate.” I watch the shock run through him until the command took affect. His eyes glazed over and then went back to normal. “Thank you, that is all.” He was confused but didnt push. Since I made him forget, in his mind, I asked him to come to my office and then asked him to leave. As soon as he shut the door, Axel was on my ass. “Seriously, dude?”Sitting back in my chair, I saw Charlotte had went to the couch and laid in the fetal position. They way her body shook, I knew she was crying. I could still feel her resentment, anger and how scared she was. “I have to know the truth.” Axel stood up and rubbed the bac
Ding! The sound made me jump. Where did that come from? Suddenly, a metal door next me to opened up, revealing a large plate of eggs, sausage and fresh toast. The door was so tiny that no human could fit in it. Sticking my head in it, it was just a metal box so I couldnt even see up the shaft. My stomach rumbled at the sight of food. Eating who keep my stanima up and help my hand. I made the mistake of grabbing the plate with my hurt hand. “Ooooowwww!!” I yelled as I dropped the plate. The food went everywhere as I held my hand against my chest. I felt more anger at myself but cussing out Waylon helped too. Now I am picking strambled eggs off the floor and my breakfast is ruined. Putting it back in the metal box, I just walked back to my chair. Surely, Waylon would have felt my pain? 15 fucks hours later, still no fucking Waylon. I was going insane in this room. I didn’t have my phone, no computer, or no pen or pencils. I’ve been toying around with an idea but I hadnt had the co
Charlotte POV “I’m taking a shower.” Waylon stated before going into the bathroom. I heard the lock click and was almost offended. Did he really think I was going to just in there and fuck him in the shower? I did want to shower, myself but not with him. Sighing, I sat down on the couch. My heart was racing too much. I couldn’t believe I was actually giving him a chance to help me. It went against everything I prided myself on. After what felt like hours, I couldn’t sit there anymore. Standing up, I started walking around, looking at the pictures on the wall. A younger version of him with who I assumed was his parents, standing on the beach. Another of just him holding a trophy. Then he was older with his arm around a couple guys. Next one was him standing by a girl with his arm around her shoulders. “That’s my sister, before you get too jealous.” Waylons voice scared me as I jumped back. “Damn, don’t do that!” I snapped at him. ‘“Don’t be so jumpy.” “Excuse me? I have been
Waylon POVAxel somehow managed to get his hands on the files. “There it is. The entire file.” Slapping the thick folder on my desk. “Damn.” I said as I opened it. At the same time, my office door flew open. Jessica stormed in before I could say anything. “The fuck is wrong with you?” Her eyes looked murderous as she tossed me my phone. I was completed bewildered as I looked at it. “What? Something wrong with my phone? Is that why she isn’t responding?” “You are so stupid Waylon Jenkins! Look at your messages!” Glancing at Axel, he shrugged as I opened my phone. The first thing to show was messages from Jasmine. “Hey sexy, I’m going shopping, need anything?”“Cant wait for our usually Friday date night!”“I decided to forgive you. The love we share is too great to let something that silly get in the way.” I got five more all along those lines. Each one left on read. I saw red and by the time I got to the end, I threw my phone against the wall, shattering it. “Fucking damnit
“What are you going to do?” I asked. “What do you mean?” Jessica asked. “You can’t fight the royals. That would mean you take them to court. That they fiance.” I reminded them. “We can’t not look into this.” Jessica pushed. I could tell she felt strongly about this. “Look, you gave me what I needed. Closure that I didn’t do this, that it was set up, but you can’t possibly think you could win against the royals.” Dropping the papers, I put sone distance between myself and them. The three of them looked at me... Almost defeated. They knew they couldn’t win. “Don’t you want to be free of this? To not hide anymore? Not look over your shoulder every second?” Jessica had tears in her eyes. She had no idea. “Not at the expense of this pack.” Shaking my head violently. I can’t get attached. I needed to stay strong and closed off. Taking a deep breath, I continued. “Thank you for this, Axel but I do not want to move forward. I want to just reject each other and move in to the next city.
My eyes studied hers as I tried to figure out what I was going to do. The need to protect Charlotte was there. My time was running out as I could hear the foot steps penetrate my pack house. Anger filled me as I realized I was backed into a corner. “She’s here?” Patrick said completely shocked. “ALPHA WAYLON!” The voice of the head of criminal deparement yelled. Ethan Watson. A complete dick in every way. Only cared about his image and finally bring in the elusive princess would be the arrest of his career. My office door flew open as I straightened up. I was fucking livid. “Ethan. You and I both know that you do not have the jurisdiction to come barging into my house and into my office!” “When I get word that you are harboring thr missing princess that is charged with thr desth of her parents, I can. Patrick, what are you doing here?” Ethan turned to look at him. “Assisting with a different matter that is none of your concern.” I said threw gritted teeth. “Are you Jasime? The
Charolette POV I can’t believe how stupid I was. To think I was even starting to trust him! My mate was nothing but a back stabbing, low life weasel! The imagine of Jasmine back in Waylons arms was too much. It was one thing when I thought he didnt want me and we were going to go our separate ways but then he manipulated me. He got me to take my wall down just to betray me. Looking around, my reward for thinking my mate could actually care about me was slapping me in the face. A twin size cot with worn out white see-through sheets. A single pillow with an equally thin pillowcase. A metal toilet sat against the wall with a sink beside it. My new room measured 4×6 feet and only a tiny window to stare out of. The wrought iron door kept me from my desires. Freedom. As my head hit the pillow, flashbacks of my captured kept replaying. Seeing the Royal guards storm Waylons bedroom and Jasmine with her evil, vindictive smile plastered on her face was enough to make my blood boil. I should
