Lottie POV "When I left my father and Mike with..." I started to explain, but I paused, feeling him stiffen at the mention of the men I once loved, and sighed, knowing this wasn't the point; I was just so nervous. "Well, when I left the room to come find you, I don't know what happened, but I was
Knox POV "What is taking them so long!" I barked, growing irritated. Running my free hand down my face, I sighed, knowing I would lose my nerve if they took much longer. "I don't know, but I would guess they are trying to think of something to say to you." The stranger offered from the corner of
Lottie POV I found myself utterly dumbfounded, unable to speak or move. I felt like my brain was still playing catch-up with my eyes and ears. This just couldn't be happening; how had Knox, the cheeky chappy who loved life and everything in it, even be contemplating this? Especially when he had don
Kane POV It felt like years since I had the pair of them this close to me, when, in fact, it was hours! I could sense the tension in Charlotte's body as I squished her between my brother and me. I knew there was more she needed to tell us, but I understood why she was holding back. We may have conv
Kane POV 'Thank you', Charlotte mouthed, stepping into Knox, his arms opening for her instinctively. She was a blessing in some ways, but in others, fuck, she was a pain in the ass., one I could not ever be without. Like Knox! "It's fine, Stud.. just tell me what you saw." She whispered, taking h
Lottie POV The ballroom, once a scene of pandemonium and despair, now stood frozen in time, the haunting scene of Havoc's chaos left behind as the blinding white light of the realm Selene resided in took hold and washed away the mayhem of the night with her blinding white light. "What is happening
Lottie POV “I will explain when we get home.” I mumbled to Kane who snorted and looked down at me. “You think!” He replied, irritated that I had kept it from him, but honestly we had enough to deal with today without my theories that I could not prove.. Not yet anyway! As the Moon Goddess probed
Lottie POV "The price," she said, her voice echoing like the whisper of the wind through the night. "The price for your Alpha's return is two bonds of the heart." "No!" I gasped, looking over at my boys, my breath catching in my throat as her words sank in. Two bonds. The fated mate bond that boun
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
