Dragons we may not have, but our bond is unbreakable, even where Charlotte is concerned, so I am certain he will step aside for me! At least, I hope he will! Leaning back against the wall, I watched Charlotte for a while. She was currently surveying the room, enjoying the endless flow of alcohol th
Lottie POV "Is this fucker for real!" I snapped at Sage, who was ignoring me to make sappy eyes at Kane. "Goddess, give me strength!" I grumbled, looking at Kane with perplexity. "You know I am not twelve anymore, right?" I sighed at Kane with exasperation, holding my hand out. "Can I have my ph
Lottie POV: I knew what Sage was going say before the words left her sex-addicted lips. "Because he is.." "If you say hot! Or fit! I swear to the goddess I will skin you and wear you as a damn coat to his wedding!" I snapped at Sage, who simmered down with a chuckle. He was the reason I had bee
Lottie POV "Is that SO!" Kane asked darkly; I could hear the smirk in his tone before the harsh swat landed on my ass, making me yelp for more, his hands tightening on my wrists, reminding me he was in control. The familiar sting began to cover the skin of my bottom; I pulled myself to lie fully ac
"I thought you were going to behave?" He reminded me. "Making me ask you twice is not behaving." Sighing, I opened my mouth; the second my lips parted, he shoved my soaked underwear into the void my lips had created. "They are to stay in there till I tell you otherwise. Do you understand Charlotte
Knox POV "Have you seen Lottie?" I asked Lilly, who was cuddling into her mate, her head nuzzling under his neck all cute and shit. "Oh, Hi Lilly. Congratulations on your mating ceremony! I am so pleased for you!" Lilly grumbled, lifting her chin to look at her mate, amusement flashing in his eye
Lottie POV "Hey, Conny!" I smile politely before lowering my hand from Knox's shoulder. Knox wasted no time taking my hand in his to bring it to his lips for the gentlest of kisses, reminding me of a knight in a fairy tale, but Knox was no knight, and this was no fairy tale! "Hey Char! You look
"Not as proud as I am to have you on mine!" Knox interjected with a wink, pulling me from my inner dialogue with Sage; he had a way of making me feel special and leaving me speechless, I noted, chewing the inside of my lip. "Smooth!" I chuckled softly at him, seeing him get a waiter's attention, n
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
