Kane POVIt all happened in slow motion; the idea of sharing Charlotte with that demonic filth and the way he had spewed his poison had been too much for Knox, and before I could reach out to him, he had lunged. His eyes glowed with the redness of Havoc. I had felt the anger detonate inside him at t
Kane POV"Any deal we had with you.. is over.." Charlotte demands as she pushes between Knox and me. "You see, I was careful with my wording.. The deal only stood if those I loved remained protected.. You hurt Knox,""I did not put that blade in his side." Asatroth laughed stepping closer, but Charl

Chase's POV"Get Lottie out of here!" Liam yelled to Kane and Knox. I spared a quick glance to make sure they were moving, but my attention was torn between the battle and the unpredictable energy emanating from Lottie."We need to go, now!" Kane grabbed Lottie's hand, urgency dripping from his voic

Lottie POVA creeping sense of panic began to bubble within me as I watched Kane try to reach out through the bond. My heartbeat quickened, and a cold sweat formed at my temples."What's wrong?" Kane asked, his eyes filled with concern as he noticed my distress. I felt a rush of warmth at his gentle
Liam's POV"I think you know," Selene—the Moon Goddess, or whatever she wanted to be called—clarified, her ethereal voice echoing softly in the grand room."No," I roared, closing the distance between us in a heartbeat. My face was mere inches from hers, eyes blazing with a fury that had been simmer
