Charlotte's POV"Humphrey, I"The words were stuck, and I bit my lower lip; I couldn't do it. I couldn't say it. "Charlotte, are you okay? You're crying so much," he said out of concern, and I felt his hand on my back. I flinched involuntarily, and he pulled his hand back at my reaction."I'm sorry, Humphrey. I didn't mean to," I mumbled, unable to look at him. All the courage I had gathered vanished into thin air, and I couldn't bring myself to say what I had done."Charlotte, what are you talking about? You don't have to apologize about a thing, okay?" Humphrey said, but I shook my head.I felt like I was suffocating; I needed to get out of there. I couldn't do it.I turned around and opened the car door, and got out, unable to face Humphrey anymore. I couldn't bear the thought of seeing the hurt and anger in his eyes. I was going to lose my best friend and the person who loved me and cared for me more than anything.I couldn't. I ran back to my house, tears streaming down my fa
Charlotte's POV Brittany!I stood there as she stylishly walked out of the car, dressed in a very short and explosive blue-red with sunglasses, even though the sun was already setting. Her face was full of makeup as usual, and for some reason, she was in heels. Her fake blonde hair was tied high in a flash ponytail. I gritted my teeth, annoyed. Why did I have to bump into Brittany, of all people? She was an annoying bitch, and the first and last time she had tried to talk to me, she wanted to get me to hook her up with Asher and went as far as insulting my mom, which led to a fight with her as I slapped her. I couldn't watch this little untrained brat say such words about my mom.I remembered seeing her hanging around Asher and his friends like a fly. I was trying my best to seduce and flirt with him. Brittany was terrible news in every single way, and seeing her annoyed me. She was one of the first people to bully me for being a low-ranked wolf with no important parent as a student
Charlotte's POVI walked away from the grocery store before Brittany could utter another word. As I walked home, I kept thinking of many things: how did Brittany know I was at the pack house today?Was I being stalked?Was she paying someone in the pack house?Could it be Clarice? My eyes narrowed; she was the only one who saw me leave this morning, and she had called me a bed warmer, having had an idea of what had happened between Asher and me the previous night. Or could it be Asher himself?So many thoughts filled my mind, and I thought about it. I needed to talk to Humphrey first and foremost before any other thing; I needed to clear things up with him.I got home before I knew it and opened the door. Mom was already in the kitchen, prepping the ingredients available for dinner."Oh, sweetie, you're back?" She called as I walked into the kitchen and placed the groceries on the aisle."Yes, Mom," I forced a smile on my face. I didn't want to worry mom. She just got out of the hospi
Charlotte's POV The bell rang, signaling the beginning of the first class we had today. I walked to class with my eyes glued to the ground as everyone stared at me like I was some sort of alien. At first, I had been confused when I got to school and had so much attention, but now that I knew why everyone was staring and gossiping, I felt so embarrassed.Brittany had spread terrible rumors about me, and I couldn't fight back because it was true. I put my lips, wondering how she had found out about what happened between Asher and me. Did he tell her?I walked into the class to see the class empty. I had been walking fast to avoid everyone, so I ended up coming to class super early, as classes usually started 10 to 20 minutes after the bell rang.To my surprise, I wasn't the only one in the class. Asher was sitting at the back alone, with this phone, his legs crossed on the desk. As I saw him, I clenched my fists and felt angry. He was the reason I was feeling this way, miserable and r
Charlotte POV"Oh, look who it is. Little Cinderella, or should I say, sluterella," I heard a voice that made my blood boil. I turned around to see Brittany and her minions smirking at me.My eyes dimmed as I glared at her furiously; I wanted to rip her apart. I had never felt so much hate for someone as I felt for Brittany at the moment. She had a mocking smile on her painted lips, and her hands were folded in a sassy way In front of her."Isn't that your prince charming Humphrey? He doesn't look too good; I hope things are okay between you two," She said with fake concern, and I kept thinking if I should just ignore her and walk away or face her.I felt so angry I wanted to attack her, and it took everything in me to hold myself back and not pounce on her. I knew if I did attack her, I would not only get into trouble with the teachers and principal, I might even get expelled as I didn't come from an influential family, and nothing would make Brittany happier than seeing me being thr
Charlotte's POV Sophie turned out to be the friend I never knew I needed. I felt a little better with her by my side, and we walked to class together. She also told me to ignore the eyes on us as she was used to it already. She got extra attention after Brittany spread rumors of her being so far she weighing 200kg.I took another look at Sophie. I'd admit she was a bit chubby, but she was totally beautiful and didn't look so fat. Sophie confessed about always being left out and being alone because she had little confidence and very low self-esteem. She was always conscious as people would throw mean comments about her being plus-sized.I assured Sophie that she was beautiful, she indeed was, and anyone would be lucky to have her. Unlike Brittany, who only had a pretty face, Sophie was beautiful inside and outside. She had a gorgeous face, a stunning body, and an even more beautiful heart.Sophie was so easy to talk to, and her positivity was infectious. She told me about her love of
Humphrey's POV My mind froze in shock. Charlotte and Asher? That was impossible. Charlotte was my best friend, and Asher was...well, Asher was Asher. The thought of them together was unthinkable. After my awkward confession, Charlotte decided to give me a chance. Even though I could tell she was uncomfortable, I wanted to be selfish for once. I wanted to have her, and she seemed to be getting used to it, to use. I had taken her on a date, and I could tell it was entertaining for her and made her happy; she even let me kiss her. How did it all go wrong?I felt like Brittany was telling lies. I wanted to believe she was telling lies, but a part of me couldn't. A part of me believed her even when I didn't want to. I remember the last time I saw Charlotte when she ran off on our date. She had received a call, looked uncomfortable, and was hiding it. She ran off, saying she had something important to take care of, and I wanted to believe it was her mom who called, but it seemed too suspi
Humphrey's POVI grabbed my things and walked towards him angrily after the class was empty. "You bastard!"He was sitting in the back, looking lazy and smug as always. But today, his smirk was aimed at me, and I could feel my anger simmering just below the surface.I strode over to where he was sitting, my feet pounding the floor with "You!" I cursed, my voice low and venomous. "You're the one who's been sniffing around Charlotte, right?"Asher looked up at me, his eyes lazy and unconcerned. "Maybe," he drawled, his smirk growing wider. "You don't even love her. What's your deal? You rejected her; you don't care about her," I blurted out, frustrated, and he raised a brow."Oh, you know about that," he mumbled. "Well, that was expected; you're her best friend, after all," He emphasized best friend, making me remember where I stood in Charlotte's life, and I fisted my palm. I wanted to ram it in his face, but we were in school, and he was the Alpha's son; unfortunately, I could get i
