Max’s POV
Damon’s pack had retreated, many had lost their lives from both packs and as the survivors helped the worst wounded, I started to look for Charlie. She was nowhere to be seen along with Alpha Zach, some of the guards inform me that she went inside the packhouse.
Entering the house, there was a lot of commotion and I follow the sound to the bedroom Kiwi was being locked in. The door was wide open and as I stepped through the doorway I was shocked to see Alpha Zach, Kiwi who was sitting up on the floor and Charlie who was holding Damon’s head, blood splattered across her face whilst his body was crumpling to the floor.
As soon as she sees me, she drops his head which rolls across the floor, stopping inches from my feet, his eyes wide open in fear. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Alexander had said her killing was brutal, yet a part of me didn’t believe it until now, but she literally just pulled a mans head off his bod
Thank you so much for reading everyone, I really appreciate it and would be grateful for any reviews or feedback. I have really enjoyed writing this book and loved every moment of it, but the story is far from over and book two will be coming out soon following Charlie’s quest in finding her hybrid mother and discovering what happens with Alpha Zach as well as what it means to be Queen of the Lycans. Does Charlie find her way back to Max or does she choose Alpha Zach? Will Max stand by his vow? Only time will tell.
Charlie's POV My alarm went off and I rubbed my eyes, how many other seventeen year olds woke up at 4am every day I wondered and rolled out of bed, I pulled on my sweats ready to clean before school started and walked out my bedroom whilst tying my black hair up in a bun so it wouldn’t be in the way. As soon as I left my room I could smell the stench of beer and cigarettes already, I hated it but that was what my life was like living with addicts for parents. Just one more week and I could get out of here although I had nowhere to go. Beer cans covered every surface along with syringes they had used for drugs, I sighed, this had been my life since I was ten years old. I got up early to clean the mess they left every night, sometimes I would find one of them passed out on the floor or sofa, sometimes completely out cold, sometimes covered in vomit. At least it seemed like they both made it to their bed this time. Sighing at the mess, I pull on a pair o
Alexander’s POV “Do I really need to go?” I glared at my mother across the breakfast table and she completely ignores me as she continued to swan around the kitchen, pretending to look busy and also so she didn’t have to deal with my whining. “Yes Alexander, now stop huffing and go put your grey suit on, we will be leaving soon” I roll my eyes and finish stuffing the last of my cornflakes in my mouth. I hated going to these things, pretending to be royal family of the humans when in fact we were the royals of the largest wolf pack in Europe. I knew why they wanted me to go, I was eighteen almost nineteen and still had not found my mate, yet Max still had not found his and didn’t need to come to these things because he was helping in the pack hospital. I roll my eyes as I walk up the stairs, there was nothing worse than paying a visit to an all girls school. All they did was scream and cry to try and get my attention, I remember one time a girl throwin
Charlie’s POVNothing exciting happened in the first two lessons of the morning, same boring day like any other, the most exiting my life became was in my after school job. Part of the reason I had to do my homework in my lunch hour or early hours of the morning was because of work, I loved my job, yes I was only waiting tables but the tips I get I hid under a broken floorboard in my room, I was trying to save up to get out of this town as soon as I turned eighteen. My parents couldn’t drag me back to their hell hole then.As lunch time neared, the girls were getting more and more excited, I should mention that I go to an all girls school, my father didn’t want me getting knocked up at fourteen like how he had knocked up my mother and then got burdened with me.Apparently the royals were coming at lunch time, they wanted a tour of our school as apparently it was one of the top science schools. If you believed that then you must of seen a pig fl
Alexander’s POVThe attraction was instant, I could feel every emotion radiating off of her small frame, I wanted to kiss her there and then but as she looked at me, I knew she was not yet eighteen. The mate bond would not be showing itself to her yet, but I knew as soon as I smelt her scent she was mine.Gorgeous grey blue eyes framed by brilliant dark eyelashes, she was truly annoyed that I had interrupted her and the thought made my wolf smile, what was concerning was how skinny she looked and I briefly wondered if that was why her skin was so pale. When she wasn’t looking I slipped the extra bag of apple slices I had in my suit pocket into her bag, honestly, it looked as if she hadn’t eaten for days.As i grabbed her arm, a part of her jumper caught on my watch, pulling at the material around her slender neck. Were those bruises on her neck?!, I held back the growl that was forming in my throat, I could not show her my protective side yet.
Charlie’s POV It was almost 7pm and the Royals would be here any minute, I wasn’t sure why they would choose a place like this and not some high end posh place but either way I made sure their table was spotless along with their glasses and cutlery. The King walked in closely followed by the Queen and Prince Alexander who flashed a quick smile at me. Another waiter showed them to their table and introduced me as their server. The King held a chair out for his wife, he was much older than I had imagined, his hair was white and down to his shoulders, with a long white braided beard to match. I’m not sure what it was but he didn’t look how I expected a King would look. I knew they were royalty yet I wasn’t even aware of what country they were King and Queen of. Prince Alexander gave me a wink as they seated. Why was he doing that, it wasn’t like I really knew him. The evening went smoothly but boy did they eat a lot, particularly meat which they liked extremely
Alexander’s POV It was odd seeing my beautiful mate as a servant. The only people that should be servants on the lower class. We had many of them in our house, the female omegas would often do a couple of months each when they came of age. I have to admit, I would have fun with some of them, they were so easy to wind up. Seeing my mate here though, it was not somewhere she belonged but I had put two and two together and it was obvious she was trying to get away from her father by earning money. Something she would not need to worry about when she was with me, she would be able to have whatever she wished for whenever she wanted. I could not take my eyes off of her as she brought us plate after plate of massive steaks and drinks, she looked exhausted, I am guessing due to lack of nutrition but carried on regardless and always with a beautiful smile on her pale lips. She even listened to my father when he cracked jokes whilst my mother and I rolled our eyes. My
Charlie’s POVWhen I came around, I could only open one of my eyes, I used the bed to pull myself to my feet with one arm, the other one wouldn’t move and from what I could see with my one good eye, it was also swollen. Staggering into my bathroom, I look at myself in the mirror, my left eye was swollen shut and a deep purple bruise was already forming. Dried blood was smeared across my chin and out of my nose, the clothes I was wearing had been torn, pain erupted from my ribs as I tried to move and I groaned in pain.I had been hit before but this was different, I had never been beaten into unconsciousness by my father before, this was going to be impossible to hide and not only that, my escape money had completely gone. I didn’t normally cry, usually I would shut down but I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.I crawled into my bed and messaged Sam on my ridiculously old phone telling him I was ill, I never rang in ill as I always foun
