Charlotte watched Augustus pacing in the room. Feeling a little cold feet at this point because of her Mate's angry mode.
Her eyes silently followed his movement as she huffed in her mind. At least, she did save Carina.
When he asked how his scent went to them, she made a little lie and said, Alice used to come into the mansion and somehow get his scent as she wasn't aware of her cruel intentions at that time.
Now, Augustus is enraged and wants to tear them apart but she doesn't want things in this way. Charlotte wants them to confess their guilt before everyone and then die.
Also, she does not want her cousin to be involved in this matter anymore. All of them are unaware of Carina's real scheme against her.
"Augustus, calm down." She spoke finally.
"Calm down?" He turned to her angrily. "How can I calm down? And how you never told any of this to me?" He roared.
Charlotte "....."
"You always believed in yourself. Would you ever believe the words I did tell you? I don't think so." She also turned angry and argued back, making him pause on his track.
Augustus lost his words and rubbed his face. "Now, what do you want me to do?" He asked, slightly relaxed.
"I just want you to trust me for fucking once and let me do my own thing in my way, Augustus. I need your support in some things." She said firmly.
Augustus clenched his fists and then nodded. "Fine, as you say." He replied. "So?" He raised his brow at her.
"In my investigation, even though I learned that Alice and Adrian did replicate the scent of yours, last time in the dark forest, Adrian gave me an emotional reason." She said.
Augustus scoffed, "Yeah, I heard that." He wanted to run and punch that arshole to death but only because of Charlotte, he stayed silent.
"Yeah." She nodded. "But, this is not what I want. I don't want his sweet confession but catch them red-handed, attacking me with their real motive. And that will only be possible if I get along with them like before. I..."
"Impossible!" Augustus growled stopping her in the middle and Charlotte glared at him.
"Will you help me or not!? If you don't and are gonna ruin this for me, then leave! I don't need you!" She snapped at him again, making him go soft immediately as he gulped his anger and sat there, willing to listen further.
She eyed him for once and then continued, "So, I was saying, I need to get along with them, so that they think What I did before just to avoid your suspect and still trust them. By this, they will also go soft with their caution against me and take immediate steps to kill me..."
A forcefully suppressed growl came to Charlotte's ear as she stopped and stared at him blankly. But, when Augustus didn't say anything, she continued again, "Just as they would try to kill me, you will appear there and catch them red-handed. And that time, you can punish them as you want and I won't stop you."
Augustus remained silent. "What if I appear late? Charlotte, I can't take this risk."
Standing up from the couch, she went to her mate and sat on his lap, cupping his cheeks. "Augustus, you can. I know you will appear on time and save me. And I do believe you."
"But..." He tried to speak but she stopped him with a kiss on his lips and then looked into his eyes deeply, "Please, Augustus. I don't want to let them win, thinking I am weak. I want this revenge for myself and need your help. Please, Augustus..."
But, when his eyes fell on her that night, she was wearing a pastel pink gown with a princess bun. She looked so enchanting, especially, those ivory-blue eyes of hers.
He didn't know she was his mate at that time but he used to find excuses to visit Golden Heart pack just to see her.
However, Charlotte never knew this. She used to keep her distance from him and he used to feel bad. Sometimes, he even prayed to the moon Goddess to make her his chosen mate and soon, on her sixteenth birthday, when everyone got their wolves, she remained wolfless.
He saw her crying to her friend and he appeared at that moment, knowing no matter what he needed to hold her. And just to his surprise and blessing, she turned out his mate.
He was so happy that, Augustus didn't bother to waste a second and claim her as his. He didn't care if she has a wolf or not. He only knows that this girl is his mate and he needs to protect her at all cost! The urge to protect her was so much that he even wanted to reject his military training, yet he has to.
He went to the training but after declaring his claim. People said many things to him for not rejecting a wolfelss mate, after all, it's the future of the kingdom but he always knew, he needed her only and he wouldn't let her go!
Since then, he kept her to himself. No matter how much she hated him. He never let her go and finally, she is his. Just one mark and they would be invincible.
Augustus leaned on her and kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose and her lips. "I will make sure to protect you from everything." He whispered his vow to her and then covering her with the quilt, he left the bed, and entered the washroom, mind-linking his beta.
'Yes, Alpha.' Mateo replied.
'I have a task for you.' Augustus stated with a cold and blank tone...
