Everyone was oddly calm including Charlie. Everyone except myself.
Charlie had just told us the news we had been waiting for and i could not understand how everyone was so calm.
Could Zach have known this was going to happen? Could he have planned for Charlie and her sisters to all be in place? It seemed impossible and yet possible at the same time. Zach had kept many secrets from everyone, and they were slowly unravelling but on his terms and we needed to change that.
“I will meet him” Matthew suggests, and I shake my head.
The last thing we needed Zach knowing is that we had the first hybrid in existence in my pack.
“No, I will wait in the forest for him. I need you to watch over Charlie”
He frowns at me, telling me that it was too risky for me to go out there in my state. With Jett back I was feeling stronger than ever. I may not look it, but I felt great.
“It should be me” Charlie pipes up from
As I kneel by Charlie I stare around in shock.He was dead, he was really dead. Zach’s bloodied limbs were scattered all around and I kick his head away from Charlie and I. I didn’t want to see him, any of him. The battle with him was finally over. After everything I did, everything Charlie had done, it had taken the hybrids to collectively work together to bring him down. Charlie was free, we were all free.I could hear her heartbeat fine and I check her neck, I wanted to see if his mark was still there. It was fading before my eyes and I hear Matthew gasp next to me.“Their marks, they are fading” he breathes a sigh of relief.He couldn’t believe it, he looked all over Alice’s legs and feet just in case he had missed it but just like Charlie’s, hers was gone and so was Eva’s.“Why are they not moving?” I try not to sound franticHe shakes his head at me “I don’t know,
She was awake and we stay laid on our backs, turning our heads to face each other, her eyes were red and black, the grey colour long gone but I didn’t care, she was here with me and she could hear and see me.“How do you feel?”I didn’t tell her that she had no magic anymore, I wanted to make sure she understood what had happened. I wanted her to know that Zach was definitely dead.“The magic is gone isn’t it?” she whispers quietly“How do you know?”“I can feel it, or lack of it. The constant bubbling has gone”Charlie had never described it in that way before and I wondered if that was what had been causing the panic attacks, the constant feeling of something inside of her. She hadn’t had an attack since she had been with me or maybe Zach had somehow causing them with his magic, so he could kiss her and make her think only he could make her feel better.I wipe t

It was the hardest decision I had ever made when deciding to reject Max but I couldn’t leave without doing so and staying there was to much, especially now Alexander was dead.I knew the distance between us would be to hard on both of us and would probably drive us insane. I love him and it was for the best that I let him go.As the car starts and pulls away, I cannot help but watch him out the back window, his body drops to the floor and Kiwi rushes to his side. With the car continuing to move down the driveway, Max’s figure becomes smaller and smaller until he is completely out of sight and I turn around, trying to relax into the seat.“He will be okay” Alpha Zach keeps his eyes in front of him“Did I make the right decision?”Alpha Zach continues to look forward “That is your decision and yours alone my Queen”I frown “Why do you call me that, why do say I am your Queen?”
Alpha Zach’s POVShe was truly fascinating, her dark hair and her grey blue eyes were an odd combination but it had something stirring inside me that I had never felt before.Seeing her struggle with the decision over Max had me curious. She was so different from her Grandmother who had always been quick to make a decision and move on, yet as Kayden talks to me, not a single word goes in my ear. I only have eyes for her and couldn’t resist giving her a quick kiss but I longed to take her to my room and have my way with her.The Lycan Queen, who would have thought that I of all people would be mated to the Queen.“You are not listening to me are you” Kayden has a huge grin on his face and I roll my eyes. “It’s true isn’t it, our new Queen is mated to you”I shake my head “No, I am mated to her. The Queen hasn’t decided if she wants me yet”Kayden frowns and looks
Charlie’s POVOpening my eyes, I find myself staring up at Alpha Zach's chiselled jaw whilst his fingers absentmindedly run through my long dark hair whilst his dark eyes stay firmly on whatever is front of him. His hand momentarily pauses but he keeps his eyes up and I close mine tight but listen in when he starts speaking to Kayden.They mostly talk about pack stuff until the subject turns to me, well more importantly, my mother.“How easy is it going to be to convince Sophia?” Kayden questions Zach, for a Beta, he was really quite brave in challenging the Alpha.“She will come when requested”I wondered what he meant by being ‘requested’. Alpha Zach had said my mother was living on his land, but if my grandmother was the Queen before she passed away then surely she had some sort of position of power.“Are you sure, you know she can be…. Temperamental”“I will deal w
Alpha Zach’s POVI had never really dealt with someone crying before, well not someone that I was attracted too and as she sobbed into the pillows I just watch felling completely powerless, what could I do, should I comfort her, or should I leave her?Standing by the door I just watch her, her shoulders juddering up and down under the blanket with the sobs but they were soon replaced with those little snuffles, signalling that she was asleep.Moving towards her, I pull back the blanket from her face, it was red and tear stained whilst her eyes were sealed shut, little puddles sitting in her eye sockets. Maybe bringing her here was the wrong choice after all.Kissing her on the forehead I feel the sparks spread across my lips, there was no doubt about it, Charlie was indeed my mate but would she accept me after her rejection of Alpha Max. I could offer her more than him after all, he was just a werewolf whereas we were Lycans and she belonged here wi
Charlies POVConsidering I had an amazing nights sleep, I felt like I had been run down by a bus. A dull ache in my chest and my mind instantly went to Max and how he had dropped to his knees as we pulled away in the car.The more I thought about it, the more the pain grew until I felt like I couldn’t catch my breath, what was happening to me?Clutching my chest as the pain spread, I tried to scream out for help, but no sound left my mouth and my chest continued to grow tighter as my lungs refused to work.Throwing out a ball of red mist at the door, I hoped it would make enough noise that someone would come in, but it fizzled out before it even reached the door.Trying again, the ball finally hits the door only this time it blows a hole straight through it and the door is pulled open, Kayden stares at me alarmed as he rushes towards me and I hear him calling for Alpha Zach as spots form in front of my eyes, darkness closing in
