Lottie POV "The price," she said, her voice echoing like the whisper of the wind through the night. "The price for your Alpha's return is two bonds of the heart." "No!" I gasped, looking over at my boys, my breath catching in my throat as her words sank in. Two bonds. The fated mate bond that bound me to Knox and Kane. "Is there no other way?" I asked only for Selene to pause and look over at my mates. Their expressions unreadable yet painfully aware of the weight of the impending choice. "Yes, which is why I have your mates frozen." She expressed with a heavy sigh as if she, a celestial being, was nervous to share the news with ME. Her voice, soft yet commanding, broke the silence that hung heavy in the air. "Lottie," she began, her tone carrying a weight of solemnity and reverence, "There is more to the gift I have bestowed upon you." "Can you just tell me?" I snapped, knowing my voice was sharp, but I couldn't take the build-up; my heart hammered in my chest, a mixture of cu
Knox POVMy senses had been dulled as I remained trapped within an icy prison that was the magic weaved by the Moon goddess. Incapable of moving an inch, yet in a cruel twist, I could hear and see everything; never had I felt so vulnerable. "Kane?" I asked, trying to reach my brother through mind link, needing someone as I watched the drama unfold. Lottie, my precious mate, stood at the mercy of the moon goddess, her heart torn between impossible choices. The air crackled with tension, thick with the weight of the goddess's demands."I am here!" Kane fumed, and I could feel the anger wash through the bond that rivalled anything I had felt when Havoc had taken hold. "What are we going to do?" I asked my brother, hoping he would have an answer or plan because the revelation that Lottie carried our children should have filled me with boundless joy, yet a storm of conflicting emotions overshadowed it. Kane and I had already discussed this possibility when he came to my room the night o
Kane POV"I won't give up my mate or our children. It's out of the question."I warned Selene as Knox held Lottie tighter, a protective shield against the storm raging between us. Yet, as Knox looked over Lottie's shoulder, his eyes met mine just in time to watch me confront the moon goddess with anger that matched Havoc's on his worst day."We won't be pawns in your cosmic games," My voice thundered, defiance etched in every word. "Kane!" Lottie gasped, torn between Knox and me. She attempted to intervene, stepping closer to me, but Knox held her steady, our agreement unwavering. She was to be protected at all costs. Always!"It is ok, little mate!" I narrowed my eyes on the moon goddess, a cyclone of emotions flickering in my eyes. The tension reached its peak because I was determined not to succumb to the whims of this hyped-up celestial force that sought to tear us apart."Young wolf, I suggest you adjust your tone." Selene barked, clearly aware that the moonlit chamber was about
Lottie POV Sliding my fingers through Kane's while Knox squeezed my other tightly, I smiled as I looked down at my mate's hands, entwined with mine, offering me their protection and loyalty. I felt a lump form in my throat, wondering if, after tomorrow, I would ever feel THIS happy again. To have my mates by my side and our future growing inside me. "I won't let anything happen to you," Knox whispered, his lips pressing to my temple as if sensing the gnawing fear that had taken root within me – the fear of the unknown, of the challenges that awaited us as parents. "The three of you," Kane added, squeezing my hand. Nodding, I kept my eyes forward as we made our way up the stairs to the Alpha wing. I wasn't ready to voice my thoughts on the revelation that I was not only pregnant but with twins. And not just because it meant I was going to balloon like a whale but because this morning, when Knox had teased his mother, saying I could already be pregnant, I had felt that sheer panic r
Knox POV "She good?" Kane asked my father as he entered the room. I watched them talk quietly as they headed over to the couch at the side of the room, Kane's eyes darting to the door needily. My lips twitching at the fuckers need to be with her every second of the day. 'And I thought I had issues.' "You do!" Havoc reminded me, my lips curling in amusement. "Pot kettle wolfie!" I laughed as I wrapped my arms around my mother, her eyes filled with remorse. "I am sorry, Knox. The things I said..." Her voice trailed off, and I knew the day's emotions were catching up with her. "Are forgotten!" I nodded. "I can't imagine what you were going through, Ma; I am just sorry I put you through it. But that fuckwitt just.." "Language." She snapped, looking at me in that stern way of hers that had me laughing; I may tower over her, be old enough to own my own home, drive and even start my own family, but cursing would earn me a slapped ass. "Can you forgive me?" She asked, "I know you didn'
Kane POV Neither Charlotte nor Knox had heard or sensed me come in, and honestly, I didn't mind; I know our relationship must seem taboo to some, but to us, it worked. I wasn't jealous over catching them 'playing' I enjoyed watching Charlotte get off, especially when, through the bond, I could feel how much she loved and wanted us. It might be Knox touching her, but it was both of us in her heart. I watched Knox's hand reach down, keeping the soap in his palm until his fingers teased the slick warmth between our mate's legs. The soap spread across his fingers as he slid his hand further and further between her legs, pulling throaty moans from her throat that my cock throbbing in my slacks. "Goddess.." Charlotte started to say; anger raged in me that that bitch was the one on Charlotte's lips when she was in the heat of passion; that bitch deserved no thanks, no secret prayers, no worship! "Fuck the goddess, if you want to moan someone's name, Charlotte, it is either only ever to be
Lottie POV Climbing on the bed, I waited for my mates to join me. I had hoped for an early night after the insane day we had endured, but lord knows this was better and funnily enough, having felt the insatiable need the boys had for me down the bond, sleep was the last thing on my mind! The look on Kane's face as he strode through the door, naked and rock hard, told me this had gotten serious, I watched his body move, the muscles flexing deliciously. "You're gonna let me lick those muscles, right?" Sage groaned ravenously. "I have a feeling we are no longer in charge, Sage!" I laughed, seeing Kane climb onto the bed behind me while Knox approached. That cheeky grin that told me I had bitten off more than I could chew danced on his lips as he stood at the foot of the bed. Their eyes were both on mine, daring me to challenge their authority. Kane's large hand pushed me onto my stomach on the plush sheet so my head hung off the bed, my face now happily level with his brother's cock;
Lottie POVThe insane sensations rippling through my body had me on the verge of tears; never had anything felt so good. Sex had never felt this good. Knox's face loomed over me. He was smiling wide as he captured my lips in a scorching kiss. I could taste myself on him, and shit did we taste good together. Licking my lips for more, my hands moved to wind through his hair, but Knox grabbed them, dropping them to his cock, nudging me to feel how hard he was. "And that's all for you!" He announced. "It fucking better be!" I stammered between breathless pants. "That's our good girl." Kane chuckled as Knox covered my hand with his while his lips licked and tugged at his mate's mark, making my pussy clench around Kane's solid length, suddenly realising that they hadn't finished. We hadn't finished!"Do it, Knox. Quit teasing her; give her your cock. We've waited a whole lifetime for this moment. You got her wet enough," Kane growled from somewhere near my ear, but he never stopped kissi
