Max’s POV
Charlie 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
Charlie’s POVI could not believe what I was hearing, Kayla was trying to defend all the ways she had betrayed us and continued to look at Alexander in the hope that he would defend her, but as I watched him trying to decide what to do, it was like his mind was shutting down, he couldn’t meet her gaze, he would not look at me or Max, instead focussing on his feet.“ENOUGH” Max’s voice roared across the grounds and even the people that were minding their own business turned to look at us, curious at what was going on“You are a Lycan?” Alexanders quiet voice filled the silenceKayla runs towards him and grabs his hands, dropping to her knees as Alexander shakes his head in disbelief, her cries covering the words she is speaking.“You planned to hurt Charlie?” Alexander’s sorrowed eyes find mine but when he turns his head back to Kayla his eyes are black “I Alexander Royal of the Midni
Alexander’s POVWhat the hell was happening? Kayla was a Lycan, her and Charlie were related!. My head was spinning and it was Jett controlling me, powering my legs to move away from the situation, however instead of moving to the packhouse, I entered into the woods to the north of our pack’s village.What the hell is going on with this pack?“I don’t know Jett, everything is messed up”It all started when we met Charlie“What are you trying to say? I am not blaming Charlie for all of this”I never meant that, I just mean it’s weird how all these things have happened since she has turned upHe wasn’t wrong and I didn’t regret meeting Charlie either, her dark hair and bright blue grey eyes lightened the room, she was looking better than ever and freckles had appeared on her pure white skin. I shake my head, I cannot think like that anymore,
Max’s POVWith Alexander gone and Charlie stomping off into the woods, it leaves me with a delirious Kiwi and a sobbing Kayla, right now my priority was Kiwi“Go” I shout at Kayla and she runs off in the same direction as Charlie. I should have been concerned or at least worried about Charlie but something tells me that she could take care of herself.Picking up Kiwi and once again slinging her over my shoulder, I head towards my packhouse when one of the warriors comes running to me“Alpha, what is the plan?”I growl at him, could he not see I was busy“Its just that you told us we were going to war and we are still here” he had clearly drawn the short straw“Well it’s obvious that we are not at war with Kiwi’s pack considering she is hanging over my shoulder”. The wolf stares at me, quickly bowing his head in submission, “But we are at war with Damon Blackheart,
Charlie’s POVIt felt good to have Max’s arms around me, breathing in his earthy scent helped calm my mind but I couldn’t help notice how tense he was.“Where is Kiwi?”, I needed to know if she was alive or dead.“You do not need to worry about her, she is safe and unable to hurt anyone”I couldn’t hide the smile spreading across my face, Kiwi was finally no longer a problem and yet I wondered why Max had kept her alive but right now, that did not matter. Releasing me from our hug, I watch as he takes in the scene, blood was splattered everywhere except on Alexander.“You did this?” Max asked me whilst refusing to look at me“He thought I was Damon and I took a chance. Now we just have to deal with her” I point at Kayla who is still sobbing on the wet earth and I roll my eyes. She hadn’t tried fighting me but if she really was a Lycan like me, crying was not
Alexander’s POV “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” I was annoyed with my brother for keeping the secret about Kayla “Alexander, it wasn’t as simple as that, we were dealing with Kiwi and Damon, calling you was the least of my worries” We continued to walk through the woods, slowly making our way back to Midnight Moon. Max stayed quiet as much as possible and only spoke when I asked him a question. It felt like he was hiding something else, but now was clearly not the time to speak about it. As we near the edge of the woods Max stops me “Charlie is bringing Kayla” He cannot be serious, I had just rejected her and she was a Lycan yet because Charlie was bringing her back to our pack, I shake my head at him “She’s not staying in my room” “Look, I know they are Lycans, but the rest of the pack doesn’t, can you keep it that way” I can’t believe he was asking me to do such a thing “You know how they will react, they already think Charlie is a
