Kane POV Looking through Rolo's golden eyes, desperate to see Lottie being swept off to safety by my mother, I felt panic rip me apart as my eyes instead settled on my father as he hurtled back to the floor, shock and fury twisting his features. My heart plummeted, catching him and the unknown mal
Lottie POV "Ugh!" I mumbled, my hand lifting to my head with a wince. It felt like a nest of hornets had taken up residence inside my skull... and they were pissed! Opening my eyes and immediately regretting it, witnessing the bedlam around me, with earth-shattering clarity, I remembered all that s
Lottie POV "Perhaps not the right choice of words!" Sage whimpered as an almighty howl left Havoc's lips, one that had the chandeliers shaking and the windows vibrating. This sucked! The thought of even contemplating rejecting either of my mates made my heart ache, a real tangible pain that felt l
Knox POV The red mist finally began to disperse, allowing me to see more than the irrational fear and anger that was, for some reason, eating Havoc up. "Not irrational." Havoc snapped at me, making me frown, suddenly feeling uneasy, leaving him in control. "I was angry, yes! I wanted to kill Mi
Lottie POV "You don't remember?" Luna asked, her voice cracking from the weight of her heartbreak. I couldn't imagine what she was going through right now! The fear I had felt at the idea of losing Kane would forever be imprinted on my soul! Swallowing the lump in my throat, I looked at her and sho
Lottie POV: "Pardon?" I asked, my hand reaching up to my neck, running over the cold chill that was chasing down my spine. "I don't think you want to know." Sage added, and my eyes closed as I looked beyond Alpha to the countless other bodies that loitered the halls, left behind by the turmoil an
Lottie POV "Shit!" I hissed, remembering that no one but Knox, Kane and I had their wolves. I had heard Kane say it earlier, but in the madness, I had forgotten! "So, how did he kill Alpha Leigh instead?" I asked, needing more than this before I approached the boys. "He doesn't know. Havoc doesn't
Mike POV "Flint?" I questioned nervously while trying to roll my shoulder; the discomfort it radiating to my chest ached like a mother fucker. The bleeding had slowed now I was applying pressure, but fuck me, the pain was insane. "I thought the whole point of that fucking shit was to mute everyon
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
