CHARLENE'S POVOr maybe they were just out to hunt other werewolves. It could have been because they found out that werewolves exist, and the threat they posed was too much to handle for their pack. It was also possible that someone threatened the safety of the pack. They could even be part of the enemy pack… I shivered involuntarily. Just thinking about it makes me nervous. "Anyway, what exactly did you want to ask me?" I repeated Xavier's question. In return, he replied in his usual calm voice, "About this…" He moved his left arm towards my waist. He gently caressed my stomach with his palm. I closed my eyes. As I focused on the sensations coming from Xavier's touch, I realized that I enjoyed it. My breathing became shallow and my heart began beating faster.Why was this happening? I thought to myself. The feeling of warmth spread throughout my body. In response, I let out a soft gasp. A moan of pleasure escaped my lips. I couldn't believe that I was currently experiencing thes

CHARLENE'S POVThat's probably why my pulse was increasing rapidly. As my mind raced in endless circles, trying to understand the situation, the person on the couch noticed me looking at him through the windows of my house and turned to look at me. His emerald eyes widened when he saw me, and his face instantly contorted into a shocked expression. He stood and began running towards the front gate of my estate. I panicked and immediately ran to my closet to grab my favorite silver dagger and a stake that had come with the house. I then dashed after the man that was now disappearing behind my front gate. Once I reached my driveway and ran inside, I immediately saw the person leaning against the fence. I raised my stake above my head, prepared to attack. "Stop right there, stranger!" I barked. The man whipped around quickly and his green eyes fell on me, widening in disbelief. Before I could say anything else, he darted past me in a flash and I followed, shouting angrily at him to tu

CHARLENE'S POVI didn't dare to breathe as I waited nervously for one of the men to enter the room. Just when I thought that my heart was going to stop beating, the wooden door swung open, revealing the third guy from earlier. He was holding a tray with four bowls on it. He carefully set the tray down on the floor next to the bed. "Hey Charlene, are you feeling any better now?" He greeted me cheerfully. I looked up at him warily. What is happening? I wondered. He walked closer and extended a bowl towards me. "Here, eat some breakfast, sweetheart," he urged. Still hesitant, I grabbed the bowl with shaking hands and raised it to my lips. As I began to drink, I realized that the liquid was warm, and that I hadn't eaten anything all day. I gulped down half of the bowl before setting it down. The second man had returned with another bowl. I watched warily as he poured water into it until a few drops dripped down to land on the floor. He put that down as well. "You seem a bit nervous.

CHARLENE'S POVI guess people do actually need to sleep sometimes, huh?" I laughed awkwardly. The gray wolf didn't respond and simply kept walking. After a few moments of silence, he spoke. "So how did you make such a big commotion earlier?" "Oh, um, well..." "I think it would have been best if we had avoided that." The gray wolf frowned and shook his head sadly. "It's okay. It was bound to happen eventually." "Yeah," I murmured weakly. "But still… I hate seeing all of you suffer like that…" "We understand." He shrugged. "Anyway, it's too late to worry about it now. Let's just go." With a sigh, I followed suit. When we returned home that night, I was greeted by a large crowd waiting inside. Upon spotting us, they hurried over, excited chatter filling the house. "Hey Charlene, look what I got!" "Look who came early again today!" "Did you see what happened?" As everyone surrounded us, Xavier stepped forward and put his arm around my shoulders. "Thanks for watching her, guys."

CHARLENE'S POVIt was as though there was a large, transparent dome overhead. It looked to be made out of glass instead of concrete. I looked around nervously as I walked carefully, wondering why I wasn't getting crushed by the amount of weight that was being added onto me at a rapid pace. Suddenly, the whole area around me began to shake lightly, causing me to stumble slightly. I raised my eyebrows in surprise, confused as to what was happening. It couldn't be an earthquake, surely? No way… Another quake shook the ground violently as I stared at the ceiling apprehensively, waiting for it to pass. When it did, however, it was replaced by a faint rumbling noise which grew louder and louder. I looked around in alarm, trying to figure out where exactly it was coming from. Suddenly the shaking intensified, making me almost lose my balance. I struggled to regain my balance before continuing on. After a few moments had passed, I finally noticed a figure standing before me. His arms hung
