Kane POVI could feel the anxiety bouncing around Knox and understood because despite Charlotte's attempt to reassure us that the Alphas were just being 'sweet' we knew them, and we knew that sweet was not a word that belonged in a sentence with any of those males. "Listen." I sighed, gripping Charlotte's wrist and spinning her to face me as we approached the office she said she had left them in. "You stay quiet; you stay by Knox's side, and if I tell you to leave. You leave!" I demanded my finger, finding her chin to tilt her head up to meet my gaze. "But.." "Charlotte. I know these men; you do not! If I tell you to leave, you leave! Promise me!" I asked, her lips tightening as she scanned my features. "Have I not proved I can handle myself?" She asked; she wasn't angry or upset. She was confused even if she nodded in agreement. "Yes." I admitted because fuck this little mate of mine had more than proven she could not only handle herself but handle Knox and Havoc and sacrifice h
Lottie POV "No, thank you!" I laughed, resting my head on Knox.'s arm as I leaned into him; I could feel him vibrating with rage and sighed because I wasn't sure who it was aimed at: my father or Adam but either way, I didn't like feeling his anger boil, not after last night explosion. "It will make you feel better when you hear what he has to say," Adam explained, nudging the blade to me. "Offer her that blade again, and I will slit your fucking throat with it, Adam, and let Havoc fuck your corpse. Am I clear?" Knox snarled, answering my question. I opened my mouth to speak, but Knox's hand on my hip tightened in warning. "You know she's a natural with a blade. Right?" Liam scoffed from where he sat, leaning up the side of the desk. Adams's lips pulled into a grin; I knew he wasn't insulted, more amused. "I am not!" I responded, rolling my eyes as I looked around at the room, my eyes taking in the chaos that had clearly taken place in here. Mike looked like death, I was genuinl
Hiya guys. I am aware a lot of people are waiting on new chapters for this book, and wanted to give you an update as to why there has not been one in a week + I ended up working all of the weekend before last, on the Saturday eve/ Sunday morning I was in an incident that has left me with broken ribs, concussion and perforated eardrum. Along with many bruises. I am struggling to sit on the computer. The light seems to irritate my head and make me throw up. I have tried writing on my phone but am having the same issue there. I will be back this week. I am just recovering slowly. The antibiotics for my eardrum are knocking me sideways and throwing up with a broken rib is painful! So please be patient with me! I am gutted and miss writing and all your comments and sleeping and resting isn't my forte. So I am going slightly crazy. I will be back asap this week. I feel like the last 4 months have been non-stop health/family issues! I get it's frustrating for you guys! I am sorry! Pipp
Kane POV The wave of satisfaction that swept through me, seeing the look of confusion on Anthonys' face, was worth breaking my silence. Charlotte was seemingly right, though; they, too, thought I was dead. "Fuck it, they won't be leaving this room anyway!" Rolo barked out, his voice bitter and riddled with jealousy. I got it, though; I wasn't sure how to feel about the relationship Charlotte had formed with the Sparrow brothers. "I know how we feel about it!" Rolo grunted, my eyes rolling internally at him as he let out a huff and slid to the back of my mind to observe like the love-sick pup he was. "What do you wanna do, brother?" Knox asked, turning to face me, although I could see from the way Charlotte squirmed his hand remained tightly wrapped around her. I watched her look up at Knox, those big blue eyes I bloody adored glossed over as she plunged into conversation with Sage. "She needs to leave! The brothers won't respect us if we allow her to dictate shit to us, and yo
Knox POV"What?" I laughed in disbelief. "Bullshit!" but even I could hear the sharpness of apprehension that had crept into my voice. The hate that filled Anthony's eyes made him look insanely unhinged."Oh, you have heard nothing yet!" Liam chuckled brutally. Arching a brow, I exchanged a glance with Kane to see his features smooth out like he hadn't just heard something that would rock our girl's world. "Try not to be so excited over this bombshell!" Kane snipped, his voice controlled, unlike mine. "Sorry, but you couldn't write this shit!" Liam shrugged, earning himself a smack up the head from Adam."Have some fucking respect! It's their mate we are talking about." Adam barked, shaking his head in disgust. "Chase is meant to be the wild card, not you!" He added with an apologetic nod to myself and Kane "Whatever!" I muttered, suddenly feeling tired. I pulled the chair out from behind the desk and dragged it along the floor, the loud squeak getting Anthony's attention before I
Lottie POV"So, what's the deal with you and Knox?" I asked, side-eyeing my new companion more than a little curiously. I didn't know much about what my mates had been up to while they were away. Perhaps I should ask them, but I had a feeling I would get the unedited version from Chase. "Caught that, huh?" Chase asked, holding the door open to my bedroom. We had walked up here silently while I had stewed over the last twenty minutes. Deciding I would have to trust my mates and their reasons for asking me to leave, I let go of the anger and decided to make the most of the time with Chase. "Well, subtly isn't exactly your forte, darling!" I laughed, his eye row lifting at the name I had bestowed on him. "Get cleaned up, and maybe I will tell ya... Darling." Chase winked in a way that I am sure many women would find sexy. Me, not so much!"Dick!" I groaned, ducking under his arm and heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I may not be able to do much about my clothing, but I could
Lottie POV"Comfy?" I asked as I walked out of the bathroom to see Chase sprawled out on my bed. I hadn't even had a chance to sleep in it yet, so his bloodied shoes resting on the comforter had a nerve twitching in my eye."Not really; I prefer feather down." He shrugged like the wind-up merchant I knew him to be. "Aw, sorry, Princess, but it wasn't meant for your delicate ass; it's for my mates and me. And we like it hard." I teased playfully, wanting to drop my mates into conversation."Gross." He grunted, a shiver running down his spine. "Hey, you started it!" I winked, leaning up the door frame to watch him. "Whatever." He laughed, nodding to me, the sound making the muscles in my body relax instantly. But it didn't stop my eyes from noting the way he looked at me. There was no desire in his stare, no lust or craving; it was purely platonic. Which was somewhat reassuring, but I knew I needed to broach the subject with him, just to make sure we were on the same page and to soot
Mike POV "No." I muttered through a bruised and cut lip, hearing the voice of the demon from the hallway. "Don't listen to him." I tried to say, but even I could hear how mumbled and broken it sounded. I attempted to open my eyes but struggled and knew instantly the blonde-haired fucker had swollen my lids closed. "How did you get in here?" One of the Alphas asked; I suspected it was the one I had watched beat Anthony almost to a pulp. "Does it matter? I can help," The demon replied. I could hear the smile in his voice even if I couldn't see it. "You have helped enough!" Kane's voice cut through the air, anger crackling off his tone like thunder off a cliff top. Without my eyesight, my other senses had heightened, and I could smell the death and corruption infecting the air from the demonic presence in the room. How had I not noticed that earlier? "Hear me, Kane Maddox, if I wanted you or your brother dead, you would be. I simply wanted some pre-show entertainment. So if you d
