Lottie POV Stretching out on Knox's large bed, my head softly pounding from the insane amount of alcohol we had consumed last night before we had passed out in a heap of sweaty limbs and lovers' lips. My finger reached under the plump pillow, and I smirked as they collided with the warmth that coul
Knox POV *With Lottie's hand gently placed in mine and my eyes glued to her delicate features as we descended the grand staircase to greet our guests, she was utterly breathtaking in a gown of silk that was almost as pale as her skin and icey hair. Even in her mask, I could see the nerves eating at
"Angel.. Last night, remember.." I asked, lifting her chin to see those pretty blue eyes filled with unsaid tears. "No!" She gasped, shaking her head. Kane's eyes locked on mine, no doubt feeling the same sense of regret wash over her as I had. Releasing her body, he stepped away from her, his aur
Kane POV I knew this reaction was a possibility when I decided to take matters into my own hands and force my father's hand. Did it feel good that I had gotten her drunk and convinced her being out mate was a good idea? Well, it didn't feel amazing! But it felt a hell of a lot better than watching
Lottie POV "KNOX TOO!" Connie gibed, rolling her eyes at me. "Damn, here I was thinking you were a prude, but actually, here you were, allowing the twins to spite-roast you!" She laughed, a blush spreading across my cheeks as memories of the three of us danced through my mind, reminding me of how r
Lottie POV "Lottie?" Knox asked, his tone growing just as frustrated as Lilly's features, a dazzling reminder that they were related. "Not now, Knox!" I hissed, shutting him out for the time being. "So the night you caught Mike cheating.." Lilly asked, her eyes dancing with mine as she searched
Knox POV I loved my sister, and I would defend her against anyone, but right now, I wanted to throttle the bitch; tightening my arms around my little mate, I narrowed my eyes on my stubborn brat of a sister and said nothing, watching her squirm under my gaze. "What?" Lilly snapped, crossing her a
Kane POV "How do you plan to keep her from attending?" Knox asked as we stepped outside Lilly's room. "With him." I stated, nodding to the male walking towards us, dressed in a plain black suit, no doubt one my sister had picked out given the expensive sheen to it. "Sebastian!" I nodded, holdin
"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
