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
Kane POV Walking into my room, I felt the full force of the day crash down on me as the door closed behind me, my legs buckled, and I slid down the door to my ass, knees tucked up against me as I surrendered, allowing the emotions I had been holding at bay wipe out any barriers I had up. The tear
Kane POV I was still pulling the shirt over my head when I pushed open the door to Charlotte's room, knowing instantly the scent hit my nose that Knox had been in here. "The room stinks of him," Rolo grunted, and I couldn't help but smile at his jealousy. "It will smell of her in a minute!" I r
Knox POV "Are you sure you want to do this?" The stranger beside me asked, but I kept silent, looking down at the blood-red stain on the floor. I could sense him growing irritable. "Do you think having your brother and mate come to you is wise? You're not in the right frame of mind, sport!" He adde
With a deadly snarl, he pounced on Bash, who was unable to shift and brutally bit down on his abdomen; I could feel the flesh tearing under my wolf's jaw as if it was happening now, and I knew the attack would be fatal. As much as I wanted to be sad, and as much as I regretted what my foolish wolf h
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
