Charlie’s POV
A panic attack, I was having another panic attack and yet all I could feel was the sensation of his lips on mine as my eyes fell shut. They were soft, his stubble catching on my skin as he pressed himself against me but the connection stopped the attack in its tracks and my lungs finally acepted the oxygen that I was gasping for.
I acted like I didn’t know that he had kissed me, but I felt every nerve ending tingling, the electricity storming through my body and my rigidness relaxed under his touch.
Alpha Zach said ‘promise’ like it was a big thing between us when in reality I just didn’t want to meet Draven alone
I was trying to focus on the conversation that we were having now I was concious, but every so often I would find my fingers running across my lips. The connection between us was stronger than I had first thought and I couldn’t explain why or how. I know what the others said to me and what Max&rs
Alpha ZachShit, shit, shit, what the hell did I just do.I leave the packhouse and head to the forest, I needed to run, I needed to feel the breeze against my fur, I was such a stupid idiot.Seeing her chatting with Adam tipped me over the edge. I knew he was not a threat but it was as if my Lycan took full control for a moment. He wanted his mate and he had to have her. I just about gained enough control to leave even when her arousal filled the air.I need to clear my head, I cannot let my feelings over rule what is happening in the pack.Shifting in the forest, I run with ease, pounding the ground with my large paws as the air whipped through my fur. The soft scents of the forest relaxing my soul and I finally felt more in touch with the earth after so long.I make sure to stay on my land, not risking leaving and focus on keeping my senses clear. The killer had been getting onto our land without being seen and when the snap of a branch c
Charlie’s POVAlly made me laugh, like proper deep belly laughter but at the same time I thought about what Adam had said about not trusting her. Pushing the thoughts aside, Ally asks me how good my magic is and when I ask her why, she tells me there is a ball stuck in the roof.Wrapping the red mist around her, she climbs out the window giggling and takes a step into thin air“Promise you wont drop me”“I won’t”The red mist lifts her up into the air and just as she is about to grab the ball, I sneeze and the red mist almost drops her and she lets out a scream. Helping her back in through the window, Alpha Zach bursts into the room asking us what had happened, his face full of fear.Ally and I cant help but giggle as Alpha Zach watches us but when I look at him, he isn’t watching us, he is watching me, his lips curved up at the edges.I hadn’t told Ally what had happened between Alpha Z
Alpha Zach’s POVI knew something was not right when Ally ran pass Kayden and I in tears, they had literally just been giggling like school girls moments ago and when I head back upstairs, her bedroom door is closed and yet I knew she was standing the other side, not only was her scent strong but it seemed like I automatically knew what was happening with her when I was close by. I had no idea if this is what mate bonds were like but then Kayden appeared not to know Ally was upset.She slowly opens the door, her big eyes full of worry but she confides in me straight away.It was true that I already knew about Ally’s past, she was one of the reasons that I put an absolute ban on any Lycan going near Huntington. The problem was Ally had not been the only one, there had been a few at the time and some of those were no longer with us as a result.When I tell her as much, she looks surprised but what surprises me more is when she asks me to kiss he
Charlie’s POVHe 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”&ldq
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
