Chapter 152
Charlie POV:
I never once thought I would wish for the days when my sister was being held captive by a madman, but today came close.
I told her a very simple reason I cannot bring this woman that yes I adore Home because it will be challenging and horrible for her. How could I ever put her through that?
Our mother wanted to kill Annette's soulmate actually kill him and she wants me to bring my non-alpha love home?
Instead of letting us do what we wanted and what was the smart choice my sister has now locked us and a utility closet at the back of the keep so no one can hear a scream.
Her husband was written all over it.
This can come from those being able to each other thoughts they were already far too intuitive with each other.
I tried to focus on the cobwebs and boiler anything else, but Ella sitting in the corner staring at me she seemed to be accepting of her fate, almost thankful for it, but this was like damnation for me. If I would subject her to all the torment that would come from trying to bring her home and make her my Luna. She was free here to do what she wanted, to be who she wanted, but if she came home with me, if I said the truth, she would be bound to be perfect.
Me and my siblings have lived a life of being perfect and look where it’s landed us smack dab in the middle of the war because my sister is such a precious prize that she cannot help but be taken.
She didn’t even get a hold of her son for more than a minute before somebody came and took her from her soulmate. A blessing by the goddess was sped because of how glorious we make ourselves look.
And I’m supposed to put her on that pedestal too?
I don’t think so.
“Why did Annette do this?” Ella finally spoke up.
Why does your voice have to be my favorite sound?
“It seems she thinks that we need to face each other before we go into battle,”
“Oh,” her arms over herself and looked away from me, her features now sullen and withdrawn.
The biggest reason was, that she probably didn’t even want to come home with me. It would be stupid to ask. Look at her look at me I mean, yes I’m full-blooded alpha but that doesn’t mean that I’m a handsome man that doesn’t mean I deserved her.
She deserved somebody who could give her the life she deserved, a life without worry or heartache. I was not that man.
“We need to find a way out of here,” I decided.
“Unless you can break down the door I don’t think we’re getting out of here until Annette wants us to,” she still didn’t meet my eyes.
“ I can try,” I backed up and braced myself to ram into the door and knock it off its hinges. Wasn’t necessarily the smartest idea, considering that the hinges were facing in, which meant it would be a lot harder. There were two doors leading in from inside and outside. I had two shots, maybe one of them would break.
I stepped back and slammed into the door with a very loud sound. Ella shrieked as she stood up and ran over to me. “What were you thinking?” She chuckled as she laid my head in her lap.
“You said you wanted out,” I groaned, my body throbbing from the hard metal impact.
“ Grayson had this building re-structured to withstand a bomb threat. All doors are impenetrable even for a full-blooded alpha,” the way she said it the disdain in her voice for what I was sank into my veins like cement.
“Well I don’t train as religiously as Grayson does,” I picked myself up and sat away from her.
She didn’t need to make it more obvious as she was not a fan of the life that I led believe me at this point I wasn’t either.
She should be out there celebrating with her people, and instead here she is with me caged up. Already I was making her life worse.
We sat in suffocating silence for what felt like hours, and I was sure that the sun was going down soon, and the party would be in full swing. Missing fireworks, dances, and food that would probably make people weep.
She sat across from me, shuffling here, and there, picking out her sleeves and nervously looking away from me.
I wanted to shout that I knew she didn’t like me and that I knew I was a fool for wanting her and I’m so sorry that I ruined her night.
“This is probably my fault,” She finally mumbled.
“What?” I was stunned please don’t tell me that she was foolish enough to think that she deserved this just because of my status.
This girl had already endured unwanted advances is enough already I didn’t want to make her more traumatized than she already was.
Goddess was probably her worst nightmare, having to sit here with a man and monitor. No doubt she was worried I was probably going to attack her like that other man.
If he wasn’t already dead, I’d break every bone in his body and then kill him.
“The Luna caught me admiring your hard work from time to time and I’m sure she assumed I- well, I. Just that I do admire you, she fumbled for her words. I couldn’t quite understand what she was trying to get across.
“You admire me?”I repeated slowly shaking my head still lost to the point.
“Well I know that you admire me,” she said with a slight pout.
The realization and it dawned on me. Annette had realized that Ella wanted me too and she was determined that we speak before it was too late.
At first, I assumed that my sister just wanted me to take her with me force her with me and try and impress her and woo her along the way.
Now I realized my sister saw that we were both desperate for each other and she didn’t want us to miss out on the opportunity.
I’m so dense.
“I’m sorry I suppose I was wrong I mean you stare at me all hours of the day but that-“
“I do admire. I mean do to I like you. And I wish- I want- I would like to be with you,” I finally managed to form the sentence.
“ I know I’m not a woman that people think you should be with,” she stated I saw her prickling at her eyes.
Very cautiously I in towards her so that she had plenty of time to stop me. I brushed the tear from the corner of her eye.
“I want you though so much it’s killing me not having you,” I told her.
I felt the immense weight of us holding back off of my shoulders. I was stupid, and it was rushed, but telling her was the smartest decision I’d ever make, and all I wanted was more.
