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
Lottie POV Deciding to ignore my Father, no matter how much it killed me, I turned my attention to the Alphas before me and watched them process the information. I wasn't sure what way this was all going to go; I had basically given them the rope to hang me and my pack with if they wanted to. "Yo
"Right. Leave these two to us; how long does Alpha Sebestain have?" Liam questioned the sound of a scream forcing my eyes to fly open. Chase had already moved to Mike and was spinning the letter opener in his thigh to wake him up. "Not long enough! He will be dead within the hour!" My Father laugh
Lottie POV Pulling the door open with my eyes glued to the guys behind me, I watched as they circled their prey and chuckled to myself and stepped through the door, expecting to step out into the hallway. But I found myself blinded by a white light so pure and unformidable I needed to reach for th
Lottie POV "We are talking hypothetically, right?" I asked Selene, still feeling astounded that I was even conversing with the Moon goddess at all. "Oh, of course." She smiled, her eyes watching me as I rose from the stone table and paced back and forth in front of her, feeling a little weirded
Lottie POV "Thank you!" I nodded to Selene. "Charlotte." She called to me, her voice soft and angelic. I paused mid-way to pull the door open, turning to look at her sitting elegantly by the fountain. I made a mental note of how breathtakingly beautiful she was so I could tell the twins about her
Lottie POV "I mean, your mates are broken." This fucker tailing me announced, like he knew anything about me or my mates. "And I have just left Luna Laura!" My feet slowly stalled until I was no longer walking away but stood staring at him, my eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and concern. Wa
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
