Charlotte's heart throbbed the way it never did. His emerald-green eyes watched with deep expectation and she didn't have the heart to say no to him, although she is angry with his behaviour.
But, what should she tell him? At this point, it's not possible for her to let him know the real truth behind her revenge. The way she realised her mistakes. Of course, there is no way she is going to say her reborn story to him or as paranoid as he is, he would definitely think she is making up a story!
And once he started believing it, there is no way back to reality.
Charlotte gulped the nervous lump in her throat and watched him blankly. "Do you wanna hear it from the beginning?" She asked and he nodded silently.
This time, Charlotte dragged herself down from his lap and settled beside him. Augustus didn't force her this time but he didn’t let go of her hands either. He holds her hands like a child as if she is going to vanish if he let go.
Charlotte stared at their intertwined hands and felt a little comfort that rushed up to her mind. 'Mate bond.' She murmured in her mind and Sierra nodded, Purring happily at the touch of her mate.
"I used to trust Alice so much." Charlotte started speaking. "So much that it used to be more than myself. I had zero confidence in myself but on her, it was ten on ten. And why not? She was there when I was devastated without my wolf. I was sad and devastated. My life almost turned into hell and then she crossed my path, being my best friend of all."
She sighed... "But, I never knew that her goodness to me was just a feigned personality of hers. In reality, she hates me to the core that she could even kill me cruelly."
'Which she did once.' Sierra murmured in sadness and sighed.
Charlotte felt his hands tightly clenched on hers as she looked up and find his staring at her blankly. Sighing, she lowered her head again and Continued her story, "She never thought me a friend but a foe. She wants a guy so badly that when she thought, there was a chance for her to lose him to me, she drugged me and kept my wolf asleep. So, when it was time, my wolf could never be awake."
"Why she would harm your wolf?" His low growl came to my ear. "Harming your wolf how could she be able to stop mating!? The chosen mate will take whoever it is!" He stated. In Augustus's eyes, there should be no reason to deny the chosen mate because the moon Goddess has her own thoughts to choose the mate.
This is something Charlotte really loves about this man. She only smiled at his words. "Well, not everyone thinks like you, Augustus. Especially, powerful wolves won't take a wolfless weak girl as a mate. It's a rare thing to happen. and the guy she loves is a powerful one."
When Charlotte looked up at him, his face was gloomy with a displeased expression. "Powerful?" He scoffed. "Who is more powerful than me? You are praising him even!" His eyes darned as he turned to her and that only made her smile.
"The guy she wants is... You, Augustus." She said and in the next second his face fell, which he immediately covered with a blankness.
