Charlie’s POV
He couldn’t be serious; he was inviting the very man I had rejected to his pack. I stare at him with my mouth hanging open as he tells me that Kiwi had answered the phone and accepted the invitation.
Why would he do this after I told him to kiss me?
“It’s a joke right” I throw my hands up in the air, muttering to myself
“I am not joking”
“Then why would you do that? I thought you liked me”
“You know I do, but I thought maybe he could help out with the murders”
“And he agreed?”
“No, like I said, Kiwi answered the phone, she was the one to agree”
Blowing out my cheeks, I huff at him. It had only been a few weeks and I had been longing to see Max, right up until I felt his acceptance of my rejection and now the very idea of him coming here had me on edge.
“Charlie, you are overthinking this”

Alpha Zach’s POV“Why did you not contact me and why the fuck were you in the forest alone?”“Does it matter. She is fast Zach, I couldn’t keep up with her”I glare at my brother and rub my eyes, what was Charlie doing“You are certain she has gone to Huntington?”“Yes. It was the direction she was running in”“You saw no one else”“Who else am I going to see Zach, everyone is pretty much on lockdown here”At least he had not seen Josh.“Why would she go there Zach?, they will kill her when they realise what she is”My guess was that she was not going to the town but on to see Draven, she knew how to get there but I wasn’t going to tell my brother that.“Leave me”“You’re not going after her?”“Adam, you may be my brother but right now you need to respect yo
Charlie’s POVHe invites me in and walks into a nearby closet, handing me some clothes like he was expecting me to turn up unannounced at any point. He tells me to get changed and walks away.Once I shift and dress, I head to the room where there is a lot of chattering. A whole group of vampires were sat around, hanging on to every word spoken by Draven, if anything it was a little creepy. Their red eyes turn to look at me as I enter and Dravens dark grin spreads across his face exposing his sharp teeth.“This is my daughter”I stare at him, he knew I didn’t like it when he called me that and besides nothing had been proven yet“This is our future, half Lycan, half vampire”There are gasps around the room followed by muttering about how it could not be possible, how it had never happened, how I must be cursed!“There is one more thing, she is the Lycan Queen. Everybody, I would like you to wel
Alpha Max’s POVIt was the last thing I was expecting to hear. When Kiwi told me that Alpha Zach was inviting us to his pack I had been camping out in a country not far from where Alpha Zach’s pack was based trying to get in touch with my explorer side and breaking my thought away from Charlie.After Charlie had left me and I finally accepted her rejection, I had to get away and spend some time focussing on myself. Do some of the things Alexander wanted to do before he died and that included exploring the world and as a triplet, it meant that Alexander could come with me in my heart.I finally accepted Kiwi as my equal, my long lost sister, the triplet we never knew about and yes she lost it at one point but she found her way back and whilst I was away, she agreed to keep the pack in order until I returned.She had been trying to ring me for a couple of days when I finally answered“Alpha Zach wants you to come to his pack, they h
Alpha Zach’s POV I knew she wanted to stay here, her excitement building on my leg that was pressed between hers, her arousal filling my nostrils, but not here, not now, her head was all over the place and I could not take advantage of that, instead I break the news that Alpha Max is here. She practically throws me off of her as she stumbles to her feet “He is here, like here already?” “Yes, he is at the packhouse” “Does he know Zach, does he know that the vampire is my father?” “Not yet, but Charlie he will find out sooner or later. It is best to tell the truth” “No, he doesn’t deserve to know” Her voice had changed in pitch, it was getting higher and higher and I was afraid of what would happen if she started screaming again and I grab her chin, pressing my lips against hers, it seemed to be the only way to stop her. I could still taste the evidence of Dravens trick on her breath and as she pulled away she sig
Charlie’s POVMax's scent completely catches me off guard as Alpha Zach and I step into the house and I drop his hand.I knew he was here, Alpha Zach had already told me, what I wasn't expecting was the rush of feelings. I couldn’t see him of which I was grateful for because I was not prepared in the slightest for Max and I was not ready to face him, knowing how I had rejected him.Instead I make my excuses to Alpha Zach and run pass the closed doors where Max's scent was strongest and straight into Alpha Zach’s office, slamming the door.Thoughts were racing through my head, I had let him kiss me again, our bodies had been so close to one another and with no clothes on and now, now my ex was here, the man I still felt something for.There was a soft knock at the door and at first I ignore it but it comes again followed by Ally’s croaky voice asking to come in.Opening the door a little, her thin frame slips through t
Alpha Max’s POVAs I stand outside, I hear Charlie and move closer to listen to the girls, they were talking about dead teenagers and how their eye lids had Charlies name carved into them. As she spoke she sounded so sure of herself, a long way from where she had been a few months ago, maybe her coming here had changed her.I drop the mask concealing my scent and she spins to look at me as soon it hits her, those soft pink lips barely moving as she mutters my name but when she looks at that blue haired girl I could tell something was wrong before she managed to get his name out.Her heart was racing, the skin around her clothing flushing as she began stumbling around and I just about catch her before she hits the ground. It was strange having her this close to me so easily but right now she needed medical attention.The girl with the blue hair, Ally I think her name was rushes in after me screaming at me about not hurting her and she was warning me
Alpha Zach’s POVMax practically gallops down the steps into the secret part of the house where Adam lived, and I hear a crash followed by my brother begging him to let him go. As I take the last step I see Max’s hand wrapped around my brothers’ throat, Adams fingers desperately scrambling at Max’s hand that refused to let up“Let him go” I roar at him“He was there, he has the girls blood on him”Adam’s face was almost the shade of a beetroot, a blue tinge setting into his skin as he was starting to struggle for oxygen“I will not ask you again, let my brother go”He glances back at me, but his hand stays firm around Adam’s neck “Your brother?”“Yes, now put him down” I growl and poise myself ready to attack should he try anything.Adam may be a pain in the backside but I still would not let anyone hurt himMax slowly release
Charlie’s POVBefore I open my eyes I hear them, Alpha Zach, Max and Draven, they were talking about me and something to do with my magic but what they were saying didn’t make any sense and I wondered when Draven got here.From what they were saying, I had somehow levitated and my magic had stopped Alpha Zach getting close to me but I don’t remember any of that, the last thing I remember is how Max had told me to stay away from KaydenThe men stop talking and a cold hand touches my face“You can open your eyes” it was Draven’s dull voicePeering at him with one eye, “How did you know I was awake?”Draven looks at Alpha Zach, “He told us”I force myself to a seated position and realise I am in my bedroom. Max was sat on the small sofa whilst Alpha Zach leans against the door to the walk in wardrobe“You had us worried”, Alpha Zach moves and sits on the end o
