Kane POV "Get the door." I told Knox with a nod to the servant's exit. I couldn't keep my Father here much longer. Someone was bound to walk in, and I wasn't ready to answer the questions they would have, much less deal with the pity cast in their eyes. I knew my pack would be grieving as much as K
Knox POV "Knox.. she just needs time." Kane tried to say, but even I heard how weak it sounded. Looking down at my Father, I tried to imagine just for a moment what Ma was going through; the man in my brother's arms wasn't just our Father. He was her mate! And he was gone... potentially at the han
Mike POV "Some partner you are!" Anthony snapped into my head; his words rang cold and angry like the fucker was delusional enough to think he had a leg to stand on. "Ten minutes ago, you were considering whether or not to have that fucking demon kill me... Remember!" I reminded my one-day father
Lottie POV Knox was in all-out meltdown mode, Kane was utterly and unequivocally heartbroken from what I could sense through our mate bond, and I wanted to be with them, yet here I was dealing with his shit show. Lilly had mind-linked and asked me to hurry up with whatever 'fix' I had promised for
Lottie POV I never claimed to be a great interrogator, but I would be damned if these two got the better of me. Every ounce of suffering I felt through my mate bond was because of one of these two, and they would be paying for that. "In blood?!" Sage cackled, hopping from foot to foot inside my
Kane POV "I told you I was more stocked than you, Pops!" I uttered as I walked out of the bathroom after slipping on a pair of my father's sweatpants and a T-shirt "He knew; he just liked to tease!" Rolo replied when my father did not. I sighed, feeling wrong for wearing a dead man's clothes, and
Kane POV "Problem?" The stranger stood before me asked, Smiling at me, smug and self-assured. Something about the chill that licked up my spine set my teeth on edge like I was dealing with a monster but not the kind with fur and sharp claws.. the sort that dwelled in the shadows and came out to wre
Lottie POV The sounds of Mike's cries almost drowned out the Alphas question; scrunching my nose up, I looked down at Mike, who was sweating like a whore in church. The satisfaction of seeing him in physical pain should have made me feel better, but it didn't. Not even a little bit. "Luna Charlott
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
