Chapter 78
Charlotte
The following day, I was ready for my first move. I left my suite and drove to a notable daily mail magazine building called the DMM. They reported about the rich and famous people in power. The DMM was one of the reliable sources of news in the city. Ellis Carter was an exciting topic to them as he was one of the city’s most successful and eligible bachelors. However, besides his business accomplishments, they knew nothing about his personal life, which he kept private.
David advised me to move cautiously after what happened in the manor last night, but I couldn’t be patient. I only had a month to the full moon, and Ellis would break the bond. I needed to stop this, to chase Love away from the city no matter what. I smiled at my devious plan. So many cruel stories would come up after everyone learned she was trying to separate fated mates. There’s nothing more sacred than the bond of a destined mate.
I entered the building and asked to see Tay and Tami Monet, the famous sibling anchor duo. They enjoyed nothing more than drama among the powerful and writing about it.
Their assistant led me to an all-pink office and asked me to wait. I waited five minutes before the door opened, and the two faces I was waiting for showed up, all dressed in pink. They smiled at me and ran to their seats next to each other. Their eyes were eager. They were both as gorgeous as they were on their talk shows.
* You must be Charlotte,” Tay squealed, excited like a child about to receive something they wanted.
*And I’m Tami. I love your pink dress, but it’s out of season,” She frowned, eyeing me.
*So, Charlotte, we heard you have important information about our favorite bachelor in the city,” Tay said, grinning like a Cheshire Cat. I knew he had a massive crush on Ellis, as he had mentioned it several times. Tami drummed on their desk a few times before they said at once,
“Ellis Carter!”
I smirked and nodded.
“I’m his mate,” I told them, and they scoffed,
“Yeah, us too,” they chuckled.
I’m his mate,” I said seriously. They were both surprised, mind-linking as they observed me.
*But isn’t Love Chasia his long-time girlfriend?” Tami asked,
*They were just friends, but Love wanted more, of course,” I fibbed easily. I was a good liar and did it effortlessly. They gasped dramatically,
*Please, go on, darling. This is gold!”
“Even when she found out I was his mate, she stayed around, asking him to reject me. When he didn’t,

she left in anger, but she’s back now, more determined to separate us,” I said with sadness.
The duo stared at me. They were still dubious. I needed to say something to gain pity from them. I needed to use my omega status card.
“You know, wolf omegas are treated with such frivolity by you lycans even after the active movements for equal rights. It’s unfair, but what can we do about it when there is a huge difference in rank? Love is the king’s first niece, and her father is the strongest lycan in our region, so I guess my situation is like that:” I was such a good actress. They looked guilty, and pity filled their eyes.
In the past, wolf omegas were treated as useless, only suitable for cleaning and serving. However, the world has developed, and that is changing.
The wealthy lycan girl steals mate from an omega,” I said, dropping my gaze to my lap as a tear escaped her eyes. It could make a great headline. I thought.
“Oh, Charlotte, you have suffered enough! It’s time we exposed Love Chasia for the snake she is. I don’t care how affluent her family is. Enough is enough!” Tami declared.
It would make a good story and get more views,” Tay added, smiling from ear to ear.
I leaned back in my seat and crossed my legs. The twins discussed what they’d discuss in their shows. It wasn’t looking suitable for Love.
Tay and Tami asked me to approach Love one more time. They’d be there to watch the interaction. I planned to go there as a victim, asking her to leave my mate. Knowing Love and her sharp tongue, she couldn’t resist making snarky comments to me and turning the public against her. I wanted her to be the most detested woman in the city.
I left the office satisfied. I managed to get Tay and Tami on my side. I needed to call David; he’d been sulking since we left the Carter manor.
David, Fox said in my head, a little excited. I think she had a slight crush on him.
‘Foxy, I’m warning you not to start getting ideas about David. He’s an ally in a quest to get to Ellis, my true love,’ I told her sternly.
But the alpha of the Grey Lycan doesn’t want you,’ she whimpered.
‘I’ll make him want me when Love leaves this city. Hopefully, she runs far this time,’ I hoped.
The mage’s love spell couldn’t work on Ellis because of Love. She was too close to him, and their affection for one another was stronger. True love triumphs indeed. Sickening.
‘Charlotte?’ Fox’s voice was gentle.
Hmm,’
‘Do you think Love and Ellis are true mates? Their bond is too strong to be real love,’ she said. It was something I thought about. When Love turned eighteen, the right age at which mates feel like each other,

there was no pull between them. Could it be something that has happened to block their mate bond?
Someone who can know is Maleck,’ she whispered.
‘Maleck, what would he have to do with their mate bond,’ I asked her, starting my car.
‘He’s been wanting the Grey Lycan Pack since he was young. And he did tell us his plan to take it had been in the works for over ten years!’
