Charlie’s POV
It was strange being here with Kiwi, she spent most of her time trying to please me, sometimes bringing me small trinkets, other times constantly hovering. At least with the boys they seemed to understand when to give me space.
Surprisingly, there was also no sign of my heat, had it been satisfied by Max already? Surely that could not be possible, he told me it lasted a couple of weeks, not days.
For the hundredth time she was asking me if I was okay and when I told her I was fine, it seemed to make her snap
“You keep saying that Charlie, there must be something you want to do” She stands over me with her arms folded against her chest whilst I lay in the sun, blocking my rays. Kiwi didn’t understand that it was the small things that made me happy like feeling the sun's warmth on my skin.
Propping myself up on my elbows “There is something you could do!”
She beams “Anything Charlie, name
Alexander’s POVIt was strange in the packhouse, don’t get me wrong I am enjoying my time with Kayla, even more now she has moved into my room, what was strange was seeing Max moping about. Normally he was so head strong, so confident yet without his mate he seemed like a lost puppy.I knew he was communicating with Charlie as he told us so, and she was getting better at using her powers but there was still no sign of her returning home and until the Luna ritual was completed, Max was the only one able to speak to her which is extremely frustrating.As the days passed, Max’s anger continued to grow and he would take his anger out on any little thing that pissed him off. There had been a few times where I had to jump in and defend Kayla and prevent her getting injured.As much as I enjoyed how blunt Kayla was, Max didn’t appreciate it and as much as I told her to be careful around him, she could not help expressing her opinion.
Max’s POVAlexander was sceptical, why could he not just trust my judgement. He argued and argued with me all evening and if he wasn’t my brother I would be putting him down as disobeying me, the Alpha. Kayla jumped in several times constantly repeating how I should listen to her Grandmother, I might have been willing to listen if she had given me straight forward answers instead of making me feel even more clueless.Kayla eventually leaves, leaving Alexander and I alone“Are you sure you want to do this?” he sounded bothered, almost tired, he knew we were up against Kiwi and a possible battleI nod, “I have to bring her back”Alexander sinks into the sofa next to me, running his hands through his normally neat ash blonde hair “Maybe Charlie doesn’t want to come back”“Are you stupid?, she just told me where they were”Alexander shakes his head at me “No, I don&rs
Charlies POVI hadn’t spoken to Max in days, mostly because Kiwi was always around and after a couple of days of being here she began having guards follow me around. She never restricted where I went but the only place I was able to go alone was to the bathroom and even then I had to be quick or they would start banging the door down.Kiwi stuck to her word and began teaching me how to use my powers and not to tie them to my emotions because then I would be able to use them when I wanted, she gave me target practice to throw what she called ‘power balls’ and I was getting quite good, rarely missing and what was more fun was when I practised on the guards following me.I made sure not to use my full power and instead just stun them but Kiwi was getting pissed that I was using her men and when I fired my last ball she shouted at me, demanding I go to her office immediately.“What the hell Charlie”“I have to practi
Alexander’s POVKayla was angry at me and I don’t blame her but its not like I can just stop loving someone over night. Anytime we were in the same room together Kayla would start throwing things at me, shouting over and over, she wouldn’t even let me near her as she knew that our mate bond would help calm her, she was choosing to be mad.“I cannot deal with this Kayla, our Luna is still missing” I leave her ranting and raving and go to find my brother.Max is sat in the kitchen nursing a coffee and as I walk in, he pours me a cup “Not going well?” he raises an eyebrow at me and I shake my head, he had clearly heard Kayla shouting as much as the rest of the packhouse.“I don’t get it, she knew I was mated to Charlie before her, why is she acting like this?”“Women” is all Max says and I cannot help but stare at him, what did he know about women he had only ever been with one an
Max’s POVCharlie was a pure bred Lycan, it was a lot to process, purebreds just didn’t exist in this world, or so I thought. It meant Damon was also a Lycan and her mother was a Lycan. Then it hit me, Damon was still alive.Lycans had to be decapitated to die, Damon never had his head removed, crap. Just when I thought Kiwi was our biggest problem.I try to reach out to Charlie, who knows how much trouble she is now in and I briefly wonder if Kiwi would be pleased or annoyed that Damon was alive, my guess would be the latter.When there is no answer, I run through the packhouse calling for Alexander, I had to tell him and when he doesn’t answer immediately, I call him through mind link.“Alex, come see me its urgent”His sleepy voice comes back with “What now?” and I glance at the clock. It was 3am and once again I wasn’t sleeping. It did not help that Ripper was pacing in my head either, I ha
Charlie’s POVI was getting the hang of my gifts but I couldn’t tell if Kiwi was happy about it, she had a brilliant poker face or whether it was because my words annoyed her that she wouldn’t give anything away. Even her pack started to enjoy having me around but it wasn’t the same without Kayla.Kayla was so blunt and to the point which made me relax and she made me laugh, with these guys I could never tell whether they were being truthful or not.It was the early hours of the morning and I was struggling to sleep when Kiwi came barging in my room “Come on, we have to go”“Where are we going?” I rub my eyes, yawning as I sit up in bed.“Damon is alive”“I’m sorry, what?” I stare at Kiwi from my bed who is rushing around the room collecting clothes for me“You heard me, your father is alive”I continue to stare at her in disbelief, was th
Alexander’s POVHeading back to my room after the chat with Max was not what I had planned. My brain was working over time, Charlie was a Lycan and her father Damon was still alive. My question is why had we not seen Damon, after all, Charlie had tried to kill him.Opening my bedroom door I find Kayla still in tears but now she was packing a bag full of her clothes “I’m leaving” she doesn’t even look at me and continues to pack.“Charlie is a Lycan” I say mindlessly, still trying to make sense of the news and sit next to the half packed bag. It was a lot to deal with, we had been taught that Lycans were non existant and hadn't been seen for so long but here was a purebred that we had invited into our pack. A Lycan that was now mated to our Alpha.Kayla sits on the bed next to me, confusion written on her face “A Lycan?” her confusion turned to a look of worry and I knew she had every reason to be.
Max’s POVCharlie kept ahold of my hand as we moved through the woods, Kiwi dangled hopelessly from my shoulder, still muttering the same things over and over. The news of Damon being alive had really screwed her over.As we walked Charlie shows me how good she has got at aiming with her balls of red mist, she also explains that some are just powerful enough to stun a person, others could take them down. She also talks about how she can teleport better and has more control over it.I stop, almost dropping Kiwi “Why didn’t you teleport to me?”She looks sheepish, a blush rising to her cheeks, “It wasn’t that simple, I had to take Kiwi with me everywhere”Kiwi starts muttering from my shoulder “A Lycan Queen”Charlie stares at her “What is she on about, a Lycan queen?”I shrug my shoulders trying to hide the fact that I was about to lie to my mate “I h
