Charlotte:
Flashback:
"But I am his mate, I am chosen by the Moon Goddess," I kept my frustration inside and continued to speak softly, giving the hint of being gentle and timid.
Darcy sized up and then scoffed, turning her head to the man on her side before the two started laughing at .
"You really wish to beco a lycan’s mate?" she hissed. The smile on her face was fake, and I could tell why. She didn’t like the fact that I knew Maximus’ truth. That also made vulnerable to her anger.
If she suddenly realized I could be a threat, she might want to get rid of . The only thing that would hold her back is that she had no idea who else I had told. So if she gets rid of , and my mother knew about Maximus, she would co forward and tell everyone.
Well, my mother did know everything. I never hide anything from her.
"I am," I replied.
"Hm, do you know the risks of being his mate?" she folded her arms and started to stare at her nails.
"I believe so, but I am not afraid of him. I am ready to do anything for him," I noticed her raising her eyes from her nails and watching .
"Okay, since you put it that way," she nodded her head, causing my heart to fill with hope. She got up and walked over to , fixing my hair and then giving a good look, even walking around and examining .
"Okay then, I will put my faith in you. But you will have to please my son in any way you are asked to," she stopped before and agreed, causing a huge smile to form on my lips.
I quickly began to nod my head.
I would do anything for him. Literally, anything.
End Of Flashback:
The others had gone to his room, and Maximus arrived late. He looked so tired. I was right at the entrance with the lasagna plate.
"Maximus," I uttered to get his attention since I was afraid he was so lost in his thoughts that he might have walked through at this point.
He stopped and looked at the lasagna plate. "I am not hungry."
The minute he began to walk past , I felt my heart stop. I turned and gulped, watching him go.
It was at this mont that I realized I wasn’t special. There was nothing interesting about for him to pay attention to.
I hated that feeling.
If only I were special, he would be spending ti with , focusing on , and even trying to solve my mystery.
Enraged, I went back to my room and threw the plate on the table. My mother rushed out from the bathroom to check on and realized Maximus had ignored yet again.
"It is okay, he will co around," my mother’s reassurance didn’t help. She had been saying this for a while, and nothing had been fixed.
"He must still miss Helanie. And why not? He gets to see her every day, train, and beco a better version of herself. And look at , I’m still the sa annoying little she-wolf who can’t even cook," I hissed, stamping my feet while tears started to form in my eyes.
"Is that all? Do you think if you beca sothing, he would notice you?" The slight excitent in my mother’s voice made turn my head to her and watch her without blinking.
"Do you have sothing in mind?" I inquired.
"I believe so," she pouted. "Why don’t you ask them to hire you as a receptionist at the academy or Maximus’ secretary?"
I was excited for it until I realized there was nothing interesting about it.
"That would do," I lied, pretending excitent for my mother, but deep down, I knew this wasn’t what I wanted to do to get his attention.
"Then don’t worry and go to bed. I will speak with McQuoid in the morning," she smiled, giving a kiss on the forehead before leaving for her room. However, I stayed awake. After I had taken a shower and was in my nightgown, I called Darcy.
"Do you know what ti it is?" she hissed from the other side, sounding sleepy and groggy.
"Your son is ignoring ," I said, lying in my bed and staring at the ceiling.
"And? You want to beg him to notice you? You’re not very attractive, what can I do with that?" Her words stung. But I had to swallow her insults. Once I get Maximus on my side and make him fall hard in love with , I’ll show her what insults really are.
"He is in love with Helanie," that was all I needed to say to wake her up.
I swear I could hear her breath catch, and then I added more salt to the wound, "if you see his face, you will know. He is dying to be with her, all he thinks about is her. And I bet if given a choice, he would choose her over everything and everyone."
I stopped to take a deep breath after making her lose hers.
"What are you willing to do in order to be special to him?" That’s what I wanted to hear. She had briefly ntioned it before, asking what I could do for her son.
My answer remained the sa.
"Anything," I closed my eyes as the tears threatened to fall.
"Good. Then I will send you the instructions. You better not let him go to that bitch’s daughter," her disdain for Helanie and her mother was going to work in my favor.
"Okay, see you then," I hung up on her since she was already gone. I bet she had thrown her phone away and was busy breaking stuff.
"I will show you, Helanie, that I am more special than you. I will take back everything. The brothers will take care of , and Maximus will love . I will be the new Helanie, the better version," I determinedly promised myself that I would win this war.
