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
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 dist
Lottie POV Watching 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, e
Kane POV I felt like I had been sucker-punched in the gut! No, that was nothing compared to what I was feeling. Complete and utter heartbreak! These revelations were soul-crushing, to say the fucking least! "I am sorry!" I listened to her words and knew she meant them; I could feel it through our
Knox POV My eyes moved over my brother's face; I wanted to tell him to go fuck himself; maybe a little havoc was precisely what we all needed! But I could see the fear in Lottie's eyes and refused to allow her to fear my wolf the way most did. "Later, Havoc!" I promised inwardly with a nod to Kan
Lottie POV My eyes remained locked on Knox's blue orbs while Kane's thumb gently stroked my wrist as he pinned them above my head. I knew my father wouldn't pick up on the support their touch offered, and it took everything in me not to let my face crumble and drop the mask of anger I wore as I gla
Kane POV Closing the door behind Anthony and me, I walked silently beside the man, who I was fully aware had just reminded his daughter of the threat he had made earlier. One to kill her if she didn't reject Knox and I. Of course, he didn't know we knew, and I planned to keep it that way for the ti
Lottie POV "You know, most men don't know what a ponytail is, let alone how to sort their girl's hair out." I teased, watching Knox in the mirror as he brushed my hair into a smooth ponytail, fixing his mother's hard work so she wouldn't notice. "Most men are morons." He countered with a wink at
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
"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
