Charlotte POV"I did," I replied. Before I could finish, he abruptly pulled on my hair, causing me to wince."You clumsy little thing," he grumbled, still gripping my hair tightly, a glare on his face.I slapped away his hands, wincing in pain, and shot him a glare of my own."Are you trying to pull my hair out by the roots?" I asked, feeling offended, but he just laughed."I'm not a thing. He pulled me in when I peeked into his room," I complained."You wouldn't have peeked into his room if you had been taught manners," he retorted."Why wouldn't I? I haven't seen a television in a long time, and I finally had the chance to hear the sound. Besides, he left the door open for me," I explained."I think that guy decided to get himself a television and was tired of being Hunter's son. Anyway, he broke a rule, and now he's dead. It makes me wonder how ignorant you are. Were you so captivated by whatever you were watching that you didn't see him lock the door?""He locked it immediately af
Charlotte's POVHis eyes were sexy, and I felt a wave of shyness wash over me. I had the urge to avert my gaze, but he held my gaze, refusing to let me look away.I shook my head, but noticed his gaze shift from my face to my lips, and he bit his bottom lip. His eyes remained fixed on my lips for a lingering moment, indicating his desire to kiss me. However, he restrained himself.Feeling flustered, I shifted my gaze away from him, only to hear him clear his throat."You look familiar, especially when you seem scared. Have we met before?" His question compelled me to look back at him.Cautiously studying his face, I searched for any resemblance to people I had encountered in the past, but found none."We haven't met before, except as mates," I whispered before turning away."Are you sure about that?" He asked, and I tilted my head to him."Have you perhaps seen anyone who looks like me? Or could you have seen me somewhere? Does it mean my pack isn't too far from here?" I asked numero
Charlotte POVThe door was pushed open, and he walked in, his eyes on me.My heart rate increased as I watched him approach me, and I became even more nervous when he sat beside me."I'm sorry for the interruptions," he said after sitting beside me on the bed, and I forced myself to nod as I continued fiddling nervously with my fingers."Hey, you don't mind us mating now, do you? You aren't scared of mating with me?" He suddenly asked, his voice laced with calmness, and I turned to him.I shook my head when our eyes met, but his gaze shifted to my fiddling fingers."You're nervous," he grumbled as he continued staring at my hands before he looked back at me."Don't be nervous, little blonde. We won't mate today, but maybe next time since I can control my sexual desires for the opposite sex. Is that okay with you?" He asked gently, and gently held my hand and began caressing it. After I nodded, I noticed him sigh under his breath, before he pulled me in for a hug."All I want is for yo
Charlotte's POVIn front of us were a pack of rogue wolves with red eyes, obviously ready to attack immediately if we took any step.My face paled as I stared at them, but they began barking at me, making me feel as though something was restricting them from pouncing on me.Alex suddenly came in front of me, covering me from having any view of them after noticing how frightened I was by staring at their red eyes and wild bodies.I was grateful for it, and his hands, which were still on my waist and holding me, made me comfortable."Alex, what's happening?" I asked in panic when the growls of the rogues intensified."We might have crossed the borders, but there's no need to panic. It's nothing," he said without looking at me before striding towards the wolves.As he approached, they began backing away and stopped their irritating growls immediately.I watched as Alex squatted in front of them after they stopped retreating, but my eyes widened when he began ruffling the fur of those dis
Charlotte's POVI had just woken up from sleep, and Alex insisted that I cook something for him to eat.He had asked me if I knew how to cook, and I said yes, but that's what I'm regretting now.I really wanted to continue my sleep. It was his stares that had woken me up, and he had used that opportunity to request that I cook for him.He had a maid in this Villa of his, but I wonder where they are. We were the only ones at home, and Ryder isn't back yet.I had no option but to cook for him, and I'm nervous to know if he wouldn't reject what I cook for him.I should have just said that I didn't know how to cook, and he would have let it slide.It isn't as though I don't know how to cook at all. I'm a young lady who has spent a lot of time living with an Alpha. He always tells me to cook for him, and strangely, the first day I had cooked, which was the day after the night he defiled me, I was asked to cook for him, and luckily for me, he loved my cooking. That's the only thing that sav
Charlotte's POVHis right fingers were gently caressing my face as he stared at me before he began leaning in, until our lips touched.He closed his eyes as if enjoying the sensation of the sparks we both emitted before gently sucking on my bottom lip.His fingers brushed away strands of my hair from my face before he deepened the kiss."I better stop now. You have no idea what I can do if we go any further," he said after breaking away from the kiss, pulling me out of cloud nine, to which only his kisses had taken me."Go to the living room and keep yourself busy. I won't take long," he turned to me and said, and I nodded before I jumped off the kitchen counter.Just as I was about to leave the kitchen, I turned back at him since I've been feeling his gaze on me.Just as I glanced back, I saw him staring at my retreating figure with a smirk on his face, but it disappeared immediately he realized that I've seen him staring at my ass like that.He cleared his throat and motioned for me
Charlotte's POV"Who would come for you?""I don't know," I replied, and he sighed in exhaustion, obviously tired of my complaints when I wouldn't open up to him."But imagine if a war suddenly breaks out in your pack, wouldn't I get killed?""Is that what you're scared of? Then don't worry, a war won't break out.""What if it does?" I questioned further."I would always protect you, and I promise you that a war wouldn't break out in our pack. If it does, it wouldn't be a serious one.""What if you wouldn't be able to save me?""I would always save you. Why am I an Alpha if I can't save my mate? You're my number one priority, and it's my responsibility as an Alpha to always look after my beautiful mate. There's no need to worry, don't think too much about a war so that it wouldn't happen," he said with a low tone as he tangled my hair strands."But what if–""Charlotte?" He called gently and stopped tangling my hair as he stared into my eyes, interrupting me."Just hear me out. What i
Charlotte's POV"She's really beautiful, and I think I already like her," Ryder said, followed by a chuckle from Alex."Did you tell her that?""Yeah, I told her I would let you know that you got me a beautiful mom.""Oh, really? What was her reaction then?" Alex questioned, and silence fell in the room. I took a few steps closer to the room and eavesdropped on them through the slightly ajar door."Ummm, I really don't know, Daddy, but she seemed startled to see me. Her expression wasn't really nice, but I know she's nice," I heard him say, and after recalling how startled I was when I saw him, I facepalmed."She seemed startled to see you?""Yeah, I don't really know why, though.""You both have met before, so I think you startled her. Maybe you snuck up behind her, and she got startled. She doesn't like surprises.""Really?""Yeah.""Then what's the fun in it?""I don't know. She's your mom, so you can ask her. Or are you scared of talking to her?""Am I supposed to be scared?""No.
