Eros’ pov I was finished with work earlier than I expected, so I decided to pick Mei and Tao up from shopping. Maybe I could take all of them for dinner, continue the fun they hopefully were having. When I looked for them I spotted Mei and Tao first near the dressing room, but when Charlotte stepped out my mouth dropped. What a bombshell. I couldn’t imagine anyone looking better than she did at that moment. It was a good thing the kids were around, because I might have said something inappropriate otherwise. Instead I decided to mindlink her and let her know how good she looked. I don’t know if the kids did it on purpose, but Charlotte and I were seated together during dinner. When I grabbed the salt I purposefully touched Charlotte, wanting to know if the sparks were still there. She didn’t move back and we stayed like that for the entire dinner, until she was mindlinked by Chris. I just hoped she was meeting him to tell him

Lily’s pov Eros called Osiris, telling us Charlotte had been hurt. Emma had wanted to go out there anyway, to see how Eddie and Charlotte were doing without dad. She left right away, Jara would come a few days later, she needed to finish some work here. “Charlotte can’t seem to catch a break,” I told Osiris. “At least she is safe. It could have been much worse if they didn’t find her in time. I really hope Eros gives that Chris guy a beating for leaving her alone this close to the border.” Osiris sounded really angry. He and Charlotte had gotten closer on our trip there. I knew she meant a lot to him. I was upset too, but I mostly worried instead of angry. I just needed Charlotte to be okay. We had lost too much. She had lost too much. “Did Eros say anything else?” I asked. “No, but he sounded really concerned. Maybe you were right about him liking her. She is still sleeping, but healing well according to the doctor.”

Eros’ pov When I came home the night Charlotte was hurt, I was so riled up, but I knew I had to take care of the kids first. I didn’t want to wake them up right away, I knew Eddie wouldn’t be able to sleep if he knew his big sister was hurt. I called Alpha Osiris to let him know what had happened. He could tell her sisters, who were all still dealing with their mom’s death. It would be better if they heard if from him. I tried to sleep myself, but it was hard. After tossing and turning for hours I finally fell asleep. I put Amelia’s baby monitor in my room, to make sure I would hear her before Eddie did. When Amelia woke up early in the morning I went to her bed and I woke up Eddie with her in my arms. “Now I don’t want to freak you out. But Charlotte was hurt last night and she is in the hospital to heal. She will be fine and we caught the guys that did it. I know you’re Amelia’s favorite, so maybe you could help me with her while I go visit your aun

Eros’ pov I have been holding back, every time I see Charlotte I want to feel her. Her lips on mine, her hands on my skin. Everything feels so good. I can’t even imagine what having sex with her would feel like. “Well it’s been four years, so I imagine it won’t take long.” Angelo joked. “Thanks man, for the confidence boost.” I replied sarcastically. I wanted our first time to be special. I wanted to proof to Charlotte that she was important to me. Charlotte deserves all my attention, all my focus. And I want her to know she doesn’t have to live up to someone else. I just don’t know yet how to tell her. “Well, I know it’s not by pushing her away when she tried to do more than kiss,” Angelo’s smart mouth said. I will explain things to her, but I couldn’t be intimate with Charlotte in her office. People could walk in. It was my first time after four years too and I didn’t want to rush things. Like I told Charlotte, I am the roma

Lily’s pov “So tell me all about Charlotte and her Beta!” I shouted as soon as Jara and Emma were back. They both started to laugh and Emma hugged me. “Where is my favorite nephew?” “He is your only nephew,” I replied with a wink. “He’s having breakfast with Osiris. So tell me!” “I didn’t know you liked to gossip so much.” Emma joked. “But Beta Eros and Charlotte are now officially together. They professes their love and they had some loud day time sex. It was a good thing all the kids were at school. O my Goddess, the sounds they were making. I take anything to forget those.” Emma said as she put her hands over her ears. Jara and I both laughed. “That bad huh?” Emma nodded, “yeah, I am happy we don’t share a house together. I wouldn’t be able to look at you if I heard you having sex with the Alpha.” I continued to laugh, the tears were now streaming from my eyes. “He is your brother in law and it’s not like you don’t
