Lottie POV "No, thank you!" I laughed, resting my head on Knox.'s arm as I leaned into him; I could feel him vibrating with rage and sighed because I wasn't sure who it was aimed at: my father or Adam but either way, I didn't like feeling his anger boil, not after last night explosion. "It will ma
Hiya guys. I am aware a lot of people are waiting on new chapters for this book, and wanted to give you an update as to why there has not been one in a week + I ended up working all of the weekend before last, on the Saturday eve/ Sunday morning I was in an incident that has left me with broken r
Kane POV The wave of satisfaction that swept through me, seeing the look of confusion on Anthonys' face, was worth breaking my silence. Charlotte was seemingly right, though; they, too, thought I was dead. "Fuck it, they won't be leaving this room anyway!" Rolo barked out, his voice bitter and ri
"Anything... happens to her.." Knox growled venomously. "It won't!" Chase hissed back, his eyes dark and foreboding as he looked at my brother. With a nod, Knox released Chase, and his arm slipped around Charlotte's neck to pull her into his side. I felt my girl relax, and I hated it. I hated the w
Knox POV "What?" I laughed in disbelief. "Bullshit!" but even I could hear the sharpness of apprehension that had crept into my voice. The hate that filled Anthony's eyes made him look insanely unhinged. "Oh, you have heard nothing yet!" Liam chuckled brutally. Arching a brow, I exchanged a glance
Lottie POV "So, what's the deal with you and Knox?" I asked, side-eyeing my new companion more than a little curiously. I didn't know much about what my mates had been up to while they were away. Perhaps I should ask them, but I had a feeling I would get the unedited version from Chase. "Caught t
"Next time you want your stuff, Char, come get it yourself. Don't send your mad dog to get it!" Lilly growled, her eyes locked on me angrily. Chase laughed, his back stiffening as he leaned forward to snap his teeth at Lilly, pulling a squeal from her lips. "Careful princess dogs bite!" Chase warn
Lottie POV "Comfy?" I asked as I walked out of the bathroom to see Chase sprawled out on my bed. I hadn't even had a chance to sleep in it yet, so his bloodied shoes resting on the comforter had a nerve twitching in my eye. "Not really; I prefer feather down." He shrugged like the wind-up merchant
"I didn't get anything," I confirmed, shooting a quick look at Liam, to see him checking his phone for the millionth time this hour."He mindlinked the entire pack last night—" She shifted her weight, and her confusion quickly turned to alarm. "Everyone was told we were under attack. Apparently, he'
Kane POV"What do you mean?" I stiffened, a flicker of confusion sparking in my mind."When I finally came to bed last night—" Her tone was biting, letting us know she'd been up longer than usual. "—I found the place trashed. Sheets torn off, furniture toppled, the room absolutely wrecked. But your
Kane POVThe thick, fertile scent of damp grass filled my nose. Our family's sprawling garden, with its cobblestone paths and neatly trimmed shrubs, might've looked serene to an outsider, but I could feel the tension radiating from my brothers. Adam and Liam slumped at the wrought-iron table near th
"I'm listening." He spread his hands in a silent invitation, leaning on the statue. A wave of nausea rolled through me. My jaw set tight, and I pushed the words out before I lost my nerve. "Connie," I began, "and Lily. Years ago, they attended a camp." I paused, the memory stabbing at me. "My daugh
Adam POVI stood in the garden with my back against an old oak, trying my best to calm the pounding in my chest. Dawn had turned the sky into a wash of soft oranges, but none of us felt any serenity from it. The overnight drama and then the issue with Connie had left an acrid taste in my mouth, and
Connie POV “I—my childhood wasn’t… look, it doesn’t matter. I just learned real fast that if I didn’t claw my way to the top, I’d be stomped on. So I do what I need to. I guess Adam sees it as manipulation, but it’s survival for me.” I wiped my cheeks, letting my voice quiver. He studied my face, l
Connie POV My heart hammered as Chase guided me out of the kitchen, his hand firm around my waist. I could practically feel the tension still clinging to my skin, left behind by Adam's furious glare. That confrontation had jolted me badly, far more than I cared to admit. Yet the shock of seeing Cha
"You will show her respect, Kane… remember who the fuck I am! I am no alpha, No friend; I am a sparrow brother, and as such, you will mind your fucking tongue, or I will remove it... with my teeth," I warned a smug-looking Kane. I knew he got it. After all, Kane had hammered our plan into place. He
Chase POV "She nearly cost Lottie everything. She's messed with filth, spilled secrets, toyed with hearts she had no business touching." Adam cut through the easing tension. My chest rattled with anger. I'd lose my composure if I'd thought of Connie's acts too deeply. So I channeled that fury into
