Lottie POV "What are you doing here!" I questioned, trying to keep my tone neutral, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing my upset. Allowing my eyes to roam over a dark blue pin-stripped tailored suit that barely fit the muscular form of Mike. His dark eyes trained on me, his lips pull
Knox POV "I highly suggest you step away from her." I stated, leaning against the wooden pillar my mother had installed to hang the ridiculous flower display from. "I highly suggest you fuck off!" The male who was currently unzipping his flies while pinning my girl to an alcove retorted sarcastic
"No, you're not!" She barked, shouldering past him towards me, holding my hand out to her; I smirked, seeing her shoulder past that, too. "Fuck she's feisty! I like it!" I mused to my wolf, only to remember he had been pretty much MIA since I had arrived home yesterday. "The lady says you're not
Lottie POV "What are you doing? For god sake, let him go, Knox!" I asked from behind them, looking at the tense form of Knox pinning Mike to a wall in a compromising position. "You always have to take shit too far, don't you!" I grumbled, remembering all the shit Knox and Kane had pulled over the y
"Or, at the very least, he knows the bravado from last night was all a show!" Sage offered helpfully- Not! But she wasn't wrong; I was, in fact, a naive fool! "Hey Pop!" I called to my father, ignoring Sage and grinning as Knox who instantly let go of my pussy, embarrassment washing over his face
Lottie POV: It was a miracle that I hadn't fallen flat on my face walking down the aisle with the sensations from Knox's touch rippling through my body and the fierce burning I felt at the back of my head from his twin brother Kane! Quite simply, I was a hot mess! Sage wasn't exactly helping eithe
"Jeez, thanks! How big of you!" I snorted, looking back at Lilly, who was looking over at me; seeing her smile falter briefly, I shook my head to reassure her. Her eyes were manically darting between Mike and me. Mouthing to her that I was okay, I leaned my head on Mike's shoulder lovingly, wanting
Kane POV "I'd rather fuck you!" I mused, watching her walk away, her blue silky dress clinging to every curve of her pert little ass. Smirking to myself, instantly, knowing that she would be mine. And my brother, and whoever the fuck that other male was, would soon learn that Kane does not share
Chase POVI lay awake with Lottie nestled snug between Knox and me, the soft glow of the television casting gentle shadows across her sleeping features. The hush of the late hour made every shift of her body and every rise and fall of her chest seem amplified in my head. I tried to focus on the quie
Kane POVI moved quietly down the hallway, my breath still shallow from the events of the night before. Every step echoed in my ears as though the house itself remembered the blood spilled and the betrayals exposed. Adam and Liam were already waiting for me near the top of the stairs, neither lookin
"She has to face Leigh’s and Sebastian's betrayals on her own terms," I reasoned. "No one can do that for her." But it killed me to watch. There was no tidy solution—only the knowledge that, soon, they would be gone from her life forever, and she’d have to live with the aftermath. She dreaded it alm
Kane’s POVMy father and Sebastian both needed to be dealt with—or so the plan went. Feign ignorance, pretend Astaroth had wiped our memories, then strike when the time was right. After that, they’d face death. Everyone agreed it was the only way to end their treachery. The logic was sound, but each
Lottie POVA heavy silence settled. Then Knox spoke again, quieter now.“You’re… you’re not leaving us, are you?” I felt his heartbreak like a physical ache, and it nearly undid my resolve.“Never,” I whispered firmly. “But you must understand I’m used to being my own person. I cherish your input, t
"So… what do we do? We let her rest? Let her walk away?" My thoughts spun in circles. "Look how closed-off she is. She’d rather talk to Sage than us.""We’re losing her if we don’t try…" Rolo stirred inside me, echoing Knox’s frustration.But I had no answer. Knox, sensing my uncertainty, responded
Kane’s POVAdam cleared his throat. “So we’ll act like last night never happened. Put on a show of playing dumb about what happened in his private rooms, that we don’t even recall the confrontation. Char and the rest of us will offer to leave, so it appears we harbor no suspicions or grudges.”“Exac
Lottie's POVI felt my mates' gazes flick toward me more than once, their silent assessments sending a faint heat through my chest. They wanted to press closer, to slip into my mind and share my burden, but I kept my mental walls firmly in place. I feared if I let them in, they'd sense my lingering
