Lottie POVI followed Kane silently; he had been spewing questions at me since we had left Mike's room. I had hoped Knox would step in and be my buffer, but he had taken it upon himself to stay with Mike, which had left me more apprehensive than I had imagined. If Mike told him... Fuck, I was so screwed. Even Sage was ignoring me; although I could sense her now, she was making no secret of the fact she was disgusted with me. Which I understood because I, too, was disgusted with myself!"Charlotte, you are going to have to give me something, princess, because right now, all I can do is think the worst, and the guilt washing through our bond isn't helping." Kane sighed as he held the door to my room open. Sliding past him, I headed to the bathroom only to find him on my heels, his concern quickly turning into resentment. "You can't do stupid shit anymore!" He voiced as he leant up the door frame, his eyes trained on my face as I eyed him with irritation. "Pot, kettle black, don't you
Lottie POVLooking over at Knox, I felt Kane's thumb softly stroke my hip, a sign he was picking up on my nerves and wanted to reassure me; when his touch failed, I felt his lips press against my temple lovingly. "Relax, he loves you!" He whispered against the side of my head. But how could I relax? If Mike told Knox what happened, all this would be over before I even had a chance to make heads or tails of it. I felt Knox's anger earlier and knew something had happened between him and Mike; I just didn't know what... and he wasn't giving anything away! "Mike must have chosen to save his own ass!" Sage grunted through the mind link. "Yes, by telling Knox about what YOU did, he would ruin things for you, but he would also be sealing his fate.. Because do you really think Knox would let him live?" She advised me, making me sigh. At least she was talking to me now though, I guess. "What happened with Mike?" Kane asked with a nod towards his brother; my eyes searched Knox's, waiting for
Lottie POV"I get to escort you to the ball.." Knox smiled cockily as he crossed the room to me, his arms wrapping around me needily as he pressed his lips to my forehead in a tender display of affection that had me melting emotionally, even if I felt my body stiffen, still feeling a little nervous about being on my own with him."Why can't you both do it.." I huffed, pursing my lips, not wanting to be parted from them until I knew what was happening and how serious my father's threat was. "Because I will be introducing you to the pack later!" Kane grinned proudly. "I can't wait... You have no idea how happy you have made me." He smiled warmly as he stepped closer to where Knox had me in his arms to pull on my ponytail so that my head tilted for him to kiss. "But I will show you later... IF you behave!" He purred seductively, making my pussy clench desperately."We rock, paper, scissored it, to make it fair!" Knox winked as I slipped from his arms, needing a little air in my lungs.
Knox POV I didn't need the mate bond to know Lottie was nervous about being alone with me, and I knew why. She was wondering what Mike had told me. I had debated not saying anything, but since she had woken to find we were mated, I could sense she was looking for a reason to bolt, and I wasn't about to give her one. "You ok, petal?" I asked, walking by her to where her mask sat on her makeup desk, motioning for her to come and sit. I kept my eyes trained on her face, watching to see what her next move would be. I meant what I said earlier.. She was mine and was all that mattered to me. Maybe I did care about what Mike had alleged she had done, but I knew better than to believe him entirely. There had to be more to this! "Yes, fine." She whispered. It was a lie; we both knew it. I smiled, watching her move across the room to sit on the stool before me. Running my fingers over her bare shoulders, I smiled to myself, seeing her shiver under my touch, leaning into me instinctively.
Lottie POV"Tell him!" Sage encouraged me, but I still felt so nervous; what if he wanted to know everything? I was ashamed of what I had done to get the information, but in truth, the boys finding out that news didn't scare me half as much as them finding out about the debt my father was effectively offering as my dowry."Knox and Kane will sort it!" Sage tried to reason with me, and I knew she was right, but what she failed to see was THAT was what I was scared of! I didn't want anyone to die! Not just so I could be happy! What sort of person would I be if I put my happiness with them over a life? Sighing, I looked over at Knox, seeing his tight jaw and the tension in his eyes. I knew he was fighting to push me for the facts."But I refused his..request!""It was hardly a request; your ribs still hurt!" Sage whispered weakly; I knew she felt just as betrayed by our father. Ignoring her, with a sigh, I continued with my explanation."My father was angry because of a debt Mike had agr
Knox POV"Sage?" I asked, my eyes widening with respect, watching Lottie's wolf force forward to control her body. "We are ready for you both." A voice announced with a knock on Lottie's bedroom door, my signal to escort Lottie down."Five minutes!" Sage growled ferociously as she used Lottie's body to step closer to me. Pressing her hands to my face, she pulled me closer so our foreheads touched, her eyes boring into mine, allowing me to watch those beautiful eyes shine vibrantly with the purple of her wolf! I felt utterly blindsided by her actions. I had heard that a wolf could force control over their human counterpart, but I had never seen it; Havoc had certainly never tried. Not that he was active at all lately! "What are you doing?" I chuckled, my eyes wide with Havoc's craving for Lottie's braven wolf! Reassuring me that he was still in here somewhere! "Showing you!" She announced firmly."What.. no!" I heard Lottie beg Sage through the connection she had just opened up in o
Kane POV I had been told that Knox and Lottie were dragging their heels; my father had sent me up to get them, as they were not opening the door for the Omega I had sent to get them. I had barely made it to the top of the stairs when I was suddenly hit with visions that left me feeling utterly distraught and completely blindsided. I knew the second the images started playing in my mind like reels. They were Charlotte's memories, memories that had a mix of emotions crashing through me, from pride, arousal, love, and concern. ...but the vision of my girl taking a beating from her father broke me, knowing she had suffered at the hands of a male meant to protect her. Selfishly, it hurt more that she had every opportunity to tell us what had happened; it was clear we knew something, But she had decided to shut us out.. why? Did she not trust us? Maybe she had sensed my wolf was MIA and had decided to keep it from me because she knew I would be ripping her father a new asshole! Without
Lottie POVWatching Sage interact with our mates, it was clear I wasn't the only one keeping secrets. I had so many questions, but two were playing on my tongue: where had their wolves been? Why hadn't they told me? Did they not trust me?That could hardly be surprising; I hadn't trusted them, either. I watched through the purple tinge of Sage's eyes. Kane relented and gave in to Sage; as much as I hated that they were about to see all I had done, I knew Sage made sense; we were all keeping secrets, and those secrets would only damage us. We had to start acting like a team, a unit! And that started by allowing Sage to do this, not that I had much choice.Closing my eyes, I sucked down a breath as images of their Luna and I getting ready washed through the connection Sage had formed. Even I could sense the pride we had felt at being gifted her dress, the overwhelming love we felt for their mother and how close I was to sharing my truths with her flowed down the line..Eventually, the
