Chapter 35

Charlotte's POV
I heard Ronald discussing things with Carl. Ronald mentioned the name of a man, Charlie.
This is his father, the Alpha of the Blackout Pack.
Does this mean that I might finally meet the man who killed my mother's enemy?
I followed Ronald quietly, and he seemed completely unaware that I was following him. I saw Ronald enter a very secluded room.
　　There was a low level of conversation coming from inside the door.
　　The person in here, he would be the Alpha of the Blackout Pack.
　　"Damn, I wish I could rush in and kill him right now!" I thought angrily.
　　"You can't be impulsive, Charlotte!" my wolf stopped me instantly.
　　I asked her in annoyance, "Why? He's in there right now! I think I can kill him right now! I can do it!"
　　My wolf sighed and reassured me.
　　"Lottie, honey, of course I believe you can kill him. But have you considered that if you rush in and kill him now. What would happen to you?"
　　I was silent, and I admitted that I had been impulsive.
　　"Then what should I do?"
　　"You should hide your whereabouts now, don't let them know you're following them.
　　Remember, you're just a slave now. You have to learn to use what you have now."
　　I asked, puzzled.
　　"I'm just a slave of such humble status that I don't even have access to the Alpha of the Dark Pack."
　　"My dear, Lottie. please don't be too inferior. You know that Ronald, that guy, is obsessed with you right now."
　　"You mean, we can use Ronald and get close to the Alpha?"
　　"Yes."
　　I listened carefully to the conversation in the room, and Ronald and the others seemed to be talking about me as well.
　　"Listen, they mentioned me."
　　I couldn't resist moving closer to the doorway so I could hear more clearly.
　　"...do you like Charlotte because of Ally?"
　　An older voice was saying.
　　"Yes." It was Ronald's voice. He said, "Because she's really similar to Ally."
　　I was stunned when I heard it.
　　"Charlotte...honey, she's still hung up on Ally..."
　　Ronald is really in love with me...
　　"I don't care, I just want to kill his father. ronald and I won't work out with me."
　　I said in denial.
　　"Your heart doesn't fool me, Lottie. i know what you're really thinking..."
　　Two coughs came from the room, and then the door to the study was opened by Ronald.
　　"Ronald is coming out, Lottie, we have to hide quickly!" My wolf warned me.
　　I rushed to hide in a corner, I was afraid Ronald would find my whereabouts.
　　But Ronald just looked in the direction where I was hiding, and he left.
　　After Ronald's back disappeared at the end of the corridor, I stood up and prepared to leave as well.
　　Two coughs came from the study, "Miss Charlotte outside. You should be able to come in now, right?"
　　My heart tightened, had he already discovered my whereabouts?
　　But I still put on a very calm look, then walked into the room with a smile on my face.
"Dear Mr. Charlie."
　　I put on what I thought was my most seductive and charming smile as I deliberately walked into Charlie's side. I tried to get him to drop his guard.
The expression on Charlie's face stood still the moment he saw me.
Charlie looked like he had seen something strange, and his mouth opened into an o shape.
"Mr. charlie? Is there anything I can do to help you?" I got as close to Charlie's side as I could, because only by getting close to her could I have a chance to plunge the dagger into his heart.
"Sir!"
Charlie snapped back to attention only after I had warned him twice.
I twisted my body and kept getting closer to Charlie.
　　"Kalay..." a name kept coming out of Charlie's mouth.
　　"What? Sir?"
　　Charlie seemed to be looking through me, at another person.
　　"Ah, OH, nothing. It's just that you look so much like a very good friend of mine. You remind me of her."
　　I sneered inside, it was my looks that reminded you of my mother.
　　Mr. Charlie in front of me was the last person I saw in my mother's memory, the last person my mother saw in the first place.
　　"Charlotte, calm down!" My wolf reminded me.
　　"He killed mother! Now is my best chance to get revenge!"
　　I hissed inwardly, I couldn't wait to turn into a wolf and tear the guy in front of me apart again.
　　"Charlotte! What are you doing?"
　　A familiar voice suddenly sounded, I turned around, Ronald was standing in the doorway, he surveyed me with a wary gaze.
　　I hastily hid the dagger in my boot, I was worried that Ronald had discovered what I was up to.
　　"Nothing, I was the one who called Miss Charlotte in." Charlie waved a hand at Ronald to show it wasn't my fault.
　　"Father, I saw her seduce you with her seductive tactics!" Ronald hurriedly explained.
　　"I didn't, Ronald!" I explained, pretending to be aggrieved.
　　Luckily Ronald only suspected that I was seducing Charlie, not that I was going to assassinate him.
　　"Don't keep up the sophistry, Charlotte!" Ronald angrily threw a pink paper package at me.
　　"I've been wondering why you've been rejecting my overtures.
　　Ronald sneered, "So your ultimate goal is my father, the Alpha of the Black Night Pack."
　　Ronald looked at me with a mocking expression.
　　"The slaves that Thomas trained are indeed as treacherous as he is. charlotte, I must say, you are simply filthy!"
　　Ronald cupped my chin and forced me to meet his eyes.
　　"I was wrong about you, Charlotte."
　　There was an imperceptible hint of regret and sadness in Ronald's eyes.
　　"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I'm just your replacement, Ronald."
　　I squeezed the words out of my teeth.
　　Ronald's face crossed with surprise for a moment before annoyance took over.
　　"You eavesdropped on my conversation with Charlie, didn't you?"
　　"I looked at Ronald provocatively, knowing that Ronald hated nothing more than being watched.
　　"I can kill you, you can trust me completely."
　　Ronald was in a state of complete anger at this point, and the strength of his squeeze on my jaw was gradually deepening.
　　"You think of me as a stand-in for Ally, Ronald, and who are you to say you like me?"
　　I was now actually jealous of myself, I was jealous that Ronald loved Ally.
　　It was unbelievable.
　　Ronald froze for a moment, he put his lips close to my ear and then said softly.
　　"You're lucky I said you had some resemblance to Ally. ally is the most special girl I've ever met, and you don't deserve to be compared to her at all!"
　　Ronald gripped my chin and then threw me hard to the side.
　　My forehead nearly collided with the sharp corner of the table, but I reacted quickly to avoid it. Otherwise I might have fainted and died here.
　　"I love Ally, but that has nothing to do with you. Look, Ally is a wonderful being in my heart, and Charlotte, you could have..."
　　I interrupted Ronald, "You say you love Ally deeply, but do you know for sure if Ally loves you or not?"
　　My question silenced Ronald.
　　"Ally never seems to have said she loves you, does she?"
　　It's true that I never said I loved Ronald.
　　"I know Ally has something she's hiding from me, and it's forced her to reject my love. But that doesn't mean she doesn't love me."
　　Ronald slyly argued.
　　"Mr. Ronald , your overconfidence is disgusting."
　　I glanced at Charlie, who now seemed to be lost in his memories.
　　I gripped my dagger, ready to kill Charlie.
　　I roughly estimated the distance between me and him , if I ran up to Charlie's back now and plunged a knife into his strong aorta.
　　Then Charlie will die within 30 seconds because of blood loss.
　　But after killing Charlie, I will definitely be arrested. Maybe I will be executed by Ronald.
　　This plan is a little less than perfect, I have some regrets.
　　"Damn it!"
　Ronald took advantage of my inattention, he broke my hand and took away my dagger .
　　Ronald held the dagger in his hand and then examined it carefully .
　　Suddenly Ronald's face turned pale and he asked me in a stern voice, "Where did you get this dagger from? Where is its original owner?"
　　I looked down and didn't answer Ronald, but Ronald lifted my chin and forced me to ask.
　　"Miss Charlotte, I will give you one chance, if you choose to tell me now where the dagger's owner is, I will consider leaving you forty thousand good when the body is intact."
　　A look of cruelty I had never seen before appeared on Ronald's face.
　　He went on to add, "If you are not willing to give me the whereabouts of the owner of this dagger, I will make you spend every day of the rest of your life regretting your choice today."
　　Ronald took the dagger and held the sharp side against my cheek as he threatened me, "I will not let anyone hurt my father, Miss Charlotte."
　　Damn it, how do I explain that I am Ally and Charlotte is Ally?
　　At this point, Charlie laughs softly and then he pats Ronald's shoulder.
　　"Wait a minute, lad. Give this to Miss Charlotte to drink."
　　Charlie pulled out a glass bottle in the compartment of his desk, and inside was some cloudy, green potion . ""
　　"What is this, Father?" Ronald took the potion and asked Charlie.
　　"It's a highly toxic drug. Anyone who touches a little of it will die in an instant."
　　A struggling look appeared on Ronald's face as he pleaded with Charlie, "Father, I don't think we should use these now..."
　　"No, Ronald," Charlie interrupted.
　　"Tell Miss Charlotte to drink it immediately." Charlie's voice was too cold to refuse.
　　Ronald did the same. He results in the potion , but does not choose to hand it to me.
　　"Ronald , don't hesitate anymore, if you don't let Miss Charlotte drink this poison now, I will also have her executed sometime in the future."
　　Charlie's voice was gentle like a May breeze, but in reality, he was speaking cruel words.
　　I looked toward Charlie with searching eyes, and I found him surveying me as well.
　　"Ronald, make Miss Charlotte drink at once."
　　Ronald hesitated for a long time, but finally stood in front of me and refused Charlie's request.
　　"No, Father. I'm sorry, I absolutely can't let you kill Charlotte!"
　　Ronald's gaze was very firm as he refused Charlie.
　　What Ronald did not expect was that I had already aimed at the poison in his hand and snatched it away violently.
　　I unscrewed the glass cork of the glass bottle, and then shoved a whole bottle of poison all down my throat.
　　A sour smell filled my entire throat as well as my mouth.
　　Damn, why is this poison so hard to drink.
