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
"I didn't get anything," I confirmed, shooting a quick look at Liam, to see him checking his phone for the millionth time this hour."He mindlinked the entire pack last night—" She shifted her weight, and her confusion quickly turned to alarm. "Everyone was told we were under attack. Apparently, he'
Kane POV"What do you mean?" I stiffened, a flicker of confusion sparking in my mind."When I finally came to bed last night—" Her tone was biting, letting us know she'd been up longer than usual. "—I found the place trashed. Sheets torn off, furniture toppled, the room absolutely wrecked. But your
Kane POVThe thick, fertile scent of damp grass filled my nose. Our family's sprawling garden, with its cobblestone paths and neatly trimmed shrubs, might've looked serene to an outsider, but I could feel the tension radiating from my brothers. Adam and Liam slumped at the wrought-iron table near th
"I'm listening." He spread his hands in a silent invitation, leaning on the statue. A wave of nausea rolled through me. My jaw set tight, and I pushed the words out before I lost my nerve. "Connie," I began, "and Lily. Years ago, they attended a camp." I paused, the memory stabbing at me. "My daugh
Adam POVI stood in the garden with my back against an old oak, trying my best to calm the pounding in my chest. Dawn had turned the sky into a wash of soft oranges, but none of us felt any serenity from it. The overnight drama and then the issue with Connie had left an acrid taste in my mouth, and
Connie POV “I—my childhood wasn’t… look, it doesn’t matter. I just learned real fast that if I didn’t claw my way to the top, I’d be stomped on. So I do what I need to. I guess Adam sees it as manipulation, but it’s survival for me.” I wiped my cheeks, letting my voice quiver. He studied my face, l
Connie POV My heart hammered as Chase guided me out of the kitchen, his hand firm around my waist. I could practically feel the tension still clinging to my skin, left behind by Adam's furious glare. That confrontation had jolted me badly, far more than I cared to admit. Yet the shock of seeing Cha
"You will show her respect, Kane… remember who the fuck I am! I am no alpha, No friend; I am a sparrow brother, and as such, you will mind your fucking tongue, or I will remove it... with my teeth," I warned a smug-looking Kane. I knew he got it. After all, Kane had hammered our plan into place. He
Chase POV "She nearly cost Lottie everything. She's messed with filth, spilled secrets, toyed with hearts she had no business touching." Adam cut through the easing tension. My chest rattled with anger. I'd lose my composure if I'd thought of Connie's acts too deeply. So I channeled that fury into
