Max’s POVSilence hung between us, Charlie and Harrison that was the last thing I was expecting. In training he was always messing around and talking about a girl from another town, no one believed him as we never saw her but it made sense why he was always leaving the village randomly.I was still raging, he had continued to let her live in appalling conditions even though he pretended he didn't know, it would have been impossible for him to have missed the markings on her body. What was worse is that he had somehow convinced her to lose her virginity to him. There were questions I wanted to ask but every time I glanced over she was staring out her window.“Why are you royalty?” her question came from nowhere but at least she was talking to me“It is a ruse, it is how we have lived so peacefully for so long and kept our kind hidden from the humans”Her head moves up and down slowly, “But why royalty?”

Alexander’s POV I never thought I would have to be burying my father already, it was hard watching him be lowered into the ground, harder listening to my mother cry. Max was stood slightly in front of me, holding Charlies hand and as everyone submits to him as our new Alpha including myself. Charlie shows him her neck, was she submitting or offering herself as a mate? As our new Alpha tells everyone to leave, Lola links arms with Charlie and leads her away from everyone else. This was not going to be good. I decide to keep an eye on them for Charlie’s sake, Lola could handle herself. I kept my distance but used the power of my wolf ears to listen into their conversation, Lola is warning Charlie to stay away from someone, from me. I roll my eyes, Lola thinks we have something special because we had spent one night together, when was she going to learn that i was not interested in her any more! Lola stabs a finger into Charlie’s chest and as she does Ch

Charlie’s POVWho knows how long I was stood in the rain, but it felt freeing and like I was connected to the Earth, something i had never felt before. My clothes were soaked through to my skin but I didn’t care about that, the only thing I could think of is what Max had told me, that I was mated to both him and Alexander. I was still trying to get my head around the terms and meanings they used, but it could not be possible, there was no way.I was curious though, I didn’t seem to be remotely bothered about finding out I was a wolf, deep down inside of me I guess I knew I was different from the other girls at my school although how different was a bit surprising. The gift thing was a bit of an eye opener but I knew I could figure it out eventually, being mated to two men was a new thing altogether even weirder the fact that they were twins.Max had said that only I could decide, how was I supposed to choose, did he even realise what he was ask

Max’s POVI waited for hours before sneaking into my mothers room, an omega confirmed that she had gone to sleep, even though it was the middle of the day, sleep was something she very much needed, she was grieving heavily and I don’t blame her, a lot of things would change now my father was gone including her adapting to life without a mate.Slipping into my parent’s bedroom whilst quietly telling the omega that they saw nothing as they hurry off, my mother was sleeping deeply, gentle snores leaving her tear stained face. Hopefully she would stay asleep and it would make it easier for me to grab the key.For the first time I see it, the small key hanging on a chain around her neck, how had I not noticed it before.I hadn’t thought my plan through, she would know if the key was missing, I look around the room, searching for something to replace it with but there was nothing, putting my hands in my pocket I fish out my keys, there w

Alexanders POVShe looked absolutely beautiful, and right there and then I realised it didn’t matter in the slightest what she wore, in my eyes she would always light up the room. As Charlie made her way towards me I take her hand and kiss it, a light blush rises to her cheeks but it disappears as soon as she hears the group of people chatting about her and once again sorrow fills those grey blue eyes.I mind link the wolves and tell them if they knew what was good for them they would shut up and I let Jett snarl at them through the mind link, silence falls between them and they move away.“What did you say to them?” she focuses on my eyes and for the first time I don’t hide the truth from her“I told them to stop or they would have my wolf to deal with”. Her eyes follow them to where they have moved too. “They need to understand who you are Charlie”She gives me a small smile and thanks me and then h
