Charlotte
It is her I want, not you. Ellis' cruel words resounded in my head. I cried harder as I watched him walk away. My heart was deeply shattered. I had no energy to get up. Love caused this, she shouldn't have fucking come back. My Fox muttered something unintelligent, and I harshly blocked her away. I needed a new plan, but I couldn't come up with anything.
" That was so pathetic of you," I snapped my eyes in the direction of Maleck. He seemed to enjoy my suffering so much.
" Leave me alone, Maleck," I barked. He knew I betrayed him and would make me pay.
" No, please don't do this," he laughed in mock disgust, " You're fucking miserable!"
Maleck squatted to my level and squeezed my cheeks painfully with his hand. I winced at the physical pain that caused me, but it wasn't close to the plunging pain I felt in my heart.
" I knew something was amiss when you stopped giving me updates. You fell for Ellis Carter!" he pushed me, and I fell on my back.
"Fucking bitch! I picked you up when you were nothing and gave you life. How could you choose to betray me," he bellowed, he sucked in a breath, looking around so no one sees us. We were in a secluded area though. He grabbed a fistful of my hair, and pulled my face close as he spoke in my ear,
" I would kill you right now for your disloyalty, but I'll give my dear cousin that pleasure when he finds out the next full moon that you are a spy," he spat. He gave me a sickening smile, and it made my body shiver. I winced when he let go. I glared at him, unable to speak in his presence.
He got up and started to walk away.
" Will you tell Ellis about my real identity?" I asked quietly, and he stopped walking. Looking back at me, he smirked.
" Should I?" he was in thought. Something in him sparked, and a smile grew on his lips.
" I guess you would serve as a distraction for him while my friends get the pack and put it in my hands," he shrugged. I narrowed my gaze on him and got to my feet quickly as I began to follow on his heels. What the fuck did he mean by that? What was he conspiring?
" What do you mean?"
He didn't stop walking as I followed after him. He was careful to use routes where there were no guards. How did he know the manor so well? I wondered.
" What do you mean?" I asked, pushing his back to get his attention. Maleck abruptly turned and hurled me into a wall, almost knocking me out cold. I winced in pain and lazily opened my eyes to look at him.
" Listen, it is none of your fuking business. Keep asking questions like this, and I'll snap your neck myself!" he hissed eerily. He dropped me to the floor, and I stayed down. I needed to find out what Maleck was planning. I couldn't let him harm Ellis. I stayed on the floor for a long time, only getting up when a drunk David bumped into me.
" What happened to you?" he burped, staggering, but he caught himself. I extended my hand to him, and he pulled me up.
" Why are you drunk like this?" I questioned him, skimming around. I couldn't let anyone see him like this. I took him to a private room on the first floor and helped him get a little sober.
I bent down to put the water on the bedside table when he grabbed my waist. He settled me between his legs, and my gaze went down to his lips and then his eyes. His lips were enticing, and I swallowed.
' I could kiss those,' I wondered when Fox would show up. I rolled my eyes at her.
' Don't roll your eyes at me!' she scolded. ' You were thinking it too,'
" Drink more water," I said to distract myself from my thoughts of kissing him. David refused the water.
" What does Ellis have on all women?" he asked, slurring. I ignored his questions, and I forced it down his throat. He gurgled and spit it out.
" You didn't answer me," he said. I thought he'd let go of the matter.
" Why are men so hell-bent on being with Love Chasia?" I asked. He was taken back a little and looked into my eyes again.
" She's beautiful, intelligent, and superior. But most of all, she's just so loving and kind. It's alluring, I guess," he pointed out. Love was everything I wasn't. While I wasn't ugly, I wasn't on the same level of magnificence as Love Chasia.
My height was 5'5ft, which might be tall among other species, but I was short compared to the glorious Lycans. Love had bright blue eyes, while mine were a standard brown.
" Has someone told you that your eyes are gorgeous? They resemble chocolate... I like chocolate," he said. No, no one told me that. I felt my cheeks burn, and I could tell they were pink from the burn.
" You're beautiful... Charlotte," he said sternly, his eyes locked on mine. I didn't know if it was the alcohol speaking, but he sounded genuine, and my heart raced in my chest. I longed to hear those words from Ellis, but I didn't hear such expressions from his lips, not even when he was fucking. I stared into his eyes, allowing a smile on my lips, but I cleared my throat and took a few steps back.
" Let's go. Love shouldn't see you like this, or you'll lose points with her," My voice was stern.
" She ran off," he said, a little hurt. David got up but soon fell on the bed. I grabbed his arm and dragged him out to his car. I drove him to his suite at the Casino since I didn't know his home address.
