Chapter 3: Marked By The Alpha
Charlotte felt like she was standing on the thin line. Whenever she took a step, she would fall eventually.
She wasn't sure her life would be better if she chose Damon, but Charlotte was sure that she would drown in misery if she let Julian track her down.
"I accept your condition." Charlotte took a deep breath. "As long as you don't hit me, I can endure living with you."
Her life was already such a mess anyway, so she couldn't expect someone would fix her life.
"I will not hit you, Charlotte," stated Damon firmly.
Charlotte looked away. "Of course, you can't."
Because he would be bound by the blood oath. But what if he didn't take it?
Charlotte didn't want to know because sometimes the answer could be worse than her imagination.
"Let's take the blood oath," said Damon. He took out a folding knife from his pocket.
Charlotte was surprised. "Now? Right here?"
Before Charlotte could prepare herself, Damon had sliced his palm, letting blood drip out of his hand. "What are you waiting for? Didn't you tell me your ex-husband is looking for you right now?"
