Charlies POV
They were all watching me, everyones eyes were on me and as I spin around it seemed like they were closing in on me. As I continue to turn I see Alpha Zach standing on the porch looking worried, was he worried about me or his pack?
The gravel under my feet was digging into my bare skin as I carry on turning. I had to stop them getting close, I couldn’t have them judging me.
I summon a ball of red mist as everyone watches and slam it into the ground, those nearest to me were sent flying, it wasn’t powerful enough to do to much damage but strong enough to stop them coming closer.
The tears stream down my face as I look at everyone laid on the ground and Alpha Zach gestures to the packhouse. I move quickly, my feet pounding the gravel and race pass him, straight up the stairs and into my room, slamming the door shut and leaning back against it.
The tears fall from my face and onto my clothes, they were heavy, my sobs were loud
Alpha Zach’s POV“What I will bring? What does that even mean?” she huffs at me“I did not get a chance to find out, Kayden called me”She turns her back on me, clearly annoyed with my answerEven though I had figured things out about Charlie’s father, I was not certain I could tell her, well not yet anyway. How would finding out that she is half vampire help her? Or finding out that the man who raised and abused her was not her real father.Not only that, Sophia dropped some pretty heavy news on me about Charlie’s birth father which I needed time to process.It was obvious that a vampire had killed one of my packs men, they were the only ones to rip out throats like that, the problem was that when a vampire is using their speed ability, only another vampire can see them. It would have been how they got onto my land unseen, yet Charlie saw them.Kayden knew this little fact about vampires and
Charlie’s POVI’m not even sure what made me do it, the sudden urge to run away from it all. Maybe it was the news that I was part vampire, or the fact that Alpha Zach is clearly in love with me but as I grab my suitcase, I purposely hit him with it as I walk by and go to his office. As much as I wanted to go home, right now I didn’t want to be alone.Sinking down onto the rug, the heat from the fire warms my skin, Kayden had been right about it being much colder here and as much as I didn’t want to admit it, I didn’t have the right clothes for this weather.As I sit staring into the fire, a blanket is draped over my shoulders and when I look up I find Alpha Zach smiling at me, he doesn't speak and heads to his desk, concentrating on the paperwork that was piled high.Every so often I would steal a glance at him, the light of the fire gave him an ominous look but in the daylight he looked so different, his eyes oddly dark but
Alpha Zach’s POVWhy oh why did I schedule meetings for today?Especially with Charlie here, I tried to change some of them around but I had put off dealing with the Lycan school on my land for some time. There were problems between a couple of the students and the teachers seemed no longer capable of dealing with the issues.As I shower I hear Charlie stir, it wasn’t exactly an ideal situation having her sleep in my room but considering she locked the door to her bedroom and then climbed out the window, it was the only suitable option.I made sure to sleep on the futon in my room, it was not exactly the greatest night of sleep, mostly because any time Charlie stirred, I was up and ready to protect her but she was mostly just having horrible dreams and most likely about what she had seen by the words she was muttering.It was highly amusing finding her with the duvet wrapped completely around her, just her cute little face poking out, a
Charlie’s POVHanging out with Ally was interesting, she really was a good laugh and it was nice to listen to her as she showed me around the grounds, although I was annoyed to hear that Alpha Zach had other girls in his room I don’t tell her as much, thankfully she talks so much that I didn’t really need to speak.We are near the forest where I had seen that thing kill one of Alpha Zach's men and she looks at me“Is it true you saw it?”I nod my head“You saw a vampire?”I wasn’t sure what she was getting at but she flicks her blue hair from her face and smiles at me“That must have been fucked up”I frown at her, I didn’t like curse words but I don’t say anything for all I know it might be common practice around here, although I hadn’t heard Alpha Zach use them.I don't tell her about what Alpha Zach told me, I was still trying to accept it m
Alpha Zach’s POV“She is missing? Like actually missing?”I nod my head“How?, I don’t understand, it’s a bit coincidental isn’t it. I come and she suddenly goes missing”She was not wrong but whoever this vampire was, he seemed to be looking for Sophia too.“Charlie, I have my men on it now, they are scouring the house and will report back with any findings”She folds her arms across her chest, her blue grey eyes focussing on me but she was not directly looking at me, it was almost like she could not look me in the eye and when I think about it, she has never looked me directly in the eye, more like she was looking through me.“Do you expect them to find anything?”She was always so direct with her questions, never skirting the issue, she would make a fine Queen when she is ready.I shake my head because honestly, no I did not expect my men to find
Charlie’s POV The realisation that the vampire was after me was just too much and the tears start streaming from my eyes. I couldn't help it, nor could I stop them and I turn to the only person that I know and bury my face into his shirt, my arms gripping my waist. I wouldn’t have normally but I just wanted to be held and thankfully Alpha Zach didn’t reject me. When I open my eyes, I’m confused at first and it takes a second for me to work out that I am back in my room and I sigh, this was becoming a weird habit and I really needed to stop falling asleep. There was some sort of commotion going on downstairs and I carefully open the door and listen in on what is being yelled, I could just make out Alpha Zach with his arms folded, his biceps bulging in his shirt sleeves. They were talking about me, accusing me of murder, demanding to know who I was and why I was targeting their pack. They were also asking Alpha Zach why he would bring someone li
Alpha Zach’s POV“Why did you tell her?”“I’m sorry, Look, I didn’t know she was Sophia’s daughter, how was I supposed to know when you never tell me anything”He folds his arms over his chest, refusing to look at me, typical bloody teenager“It should have come from me” I sigh, she should never have found out this way“How many more times Zach, I am sorry”It was not Adam who I was angry with, it was myself, the news of Sophia should have come from me and only me. The only problem was now she had no reason to stay.“Why has she got you so worked up?”I glare at my brother“Shit, you’re mated to her aren’t you?”“Mind your language”He rolls his eyes at me, come on bro, catch up with the twenty first century, everyone swears”I shake my head at him in annoyance“S
Charlie’s POV“Get off of me”“Shut up”I struggle against the man holding me, Ally was completely out of it and already face down on the floor of the room the vampire was trying to put me in“Hold still or I will rip your throat out too”It was a weak threat and I continued to fight against him, I could just use my magic but then I would be revealing more about myself and I couldn’t risk that yet, besides he was only man handling me at the moment and I might need my magic further down the line.‘We need to get out of here’‘I know Gypsy but its not that simple, I have no idea where here is and besides I can’t leave Ally’The vampire drops me and I roll across the floor but before I get a chance to have a go at him, the door was slammed shut and a key turns in the lock.Clearly he was stupid and didn’t know anything
