Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I waited a few days to give those who wanted to give their opinions a chance to comment. It seems most are in favour of regular updates. Which is fine. But for those of you who want to wait and read in one go. The last chapter will be called: The End, For Now! When it is up I will comment on your comments so you know that book 1 is done! TIA Pippa X

Knox POV Lifting my eyes to my father, who was pacing back and forth at the head of the table. I sighed, I could feel the weight of Kane's truths weighing heavy on him. Kane had filled everyone in on the fact that Lottie was pregnant, that she had bargained with the moon goddess to save Pa and Seba
Knox POV Panic clawed at my insides, threatening to consume me, sensing the demon's powers invaded my mind once again. It was like being trapped in a nightmare, unable to move or speak, while the world moved around me in slow motion. "So this is the A-team that wants to try and knock the crown off
"Damn, even for me, a Duke of Hell! That is brutal!" He sighed, sitting on the edge of the table beside Mike. "But you see, there is the problem. I can't let anything happen to the girl!" Astaroth chewed his lip and looked over at Anthony with a sly smile teasing the corner of his lips. "Kane," I m
Kane POV "Are you coming? Or are you leaving your brother to do everything?" The demon mocked as Knox strode through the portal without hesitation. I swallowed hard, my heart thudding in my chest. Narrowing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I followed suit, stepping into the abyss beyond. "I am go
Kane POV "You insulted the Moon goddess, and there will be consequences for that." Astaraoth announced, making my jaw clench, because I knew he was most likely right. She would have to make an example of us. "I imagine the second Lottie here rejects you," he declared, stepping toward us, as I inst
Lottie POV As Astaroth's words hung in the air, a chill swept through me, freezing my thoughts in place. 'I want your daughter.' The very idea seemed absurd, impossible even. Yet, there he sat atop the altar, the picture of innocence, as if he hadn't just demanded my firstborn. His crimson eyes bu
Kane POV "No!" My girl announced with a firmness that made my heart soar with pride, only for it to sink in the next breath seeing the scumbag approach her, and the turmoil he was putting her through. I couldn't help but smile through the pain, noting how Charlotte's resolve remained unwavering in
Lottie POV"Or us?" Kanne added as his hand slipped into mine and gave it a gentle squeeze. Looking at him, I felt my lips twitch into a small smile; even after all we had been through, this man was still willing to fight for us.Leaning my head on his shoulder, I looked to Knox, who was towing the
"I can only step in when I am asked." She answered gently, looking between us with questions of her own swimming behind her pearly irises."Asked? By whom?" Kane's brows furrowed as an uneasy silence fell over the group. I looked around, sensing the unspoken tension, wondering which one of my family
Lottie's POVI stood there, feeling the weight of Selene's request settle over me. The Moon Goddess herself was asking for a moment alone, and while awe swirled within me, so did a flicker of apprehension.Chewing the corner of my lip, I eyed her while I contemplated my options. I had so many questi
"How was this possible?" I questioned her. "I've never felt anything like that before. Are the babies really the source?""Selene unlocked something dormant," she explained. "A gift, perhaps. Or maybe it was always within us, waiting for the right moment. I believe the twins amplified our abilities.
Lottie's POVI stood there, my heart pounding as I glared at the remnants of shimmering light fading around me. My hands trembled slightly as I rested them on my swollen belly, feeling the gentle movements of the lives growing inside me. The air was thick with tension, the scent of ozone lingering f
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"That's enough, Astaroth," The almighty Selene declared, her voice calm but commanding."You... How dare you interfere!" His eyes widened, a flicker of annoyance breaking through his usually unflappable demeanour. Despite Selene's sweet voice, there was an unmistakable trace of irritatio
Liam's POVThe glow intensified, spreading across the room. It was as if a supernova had ignited within the chamber, banishing shadows and flooding every corner with blinding light. The oppressive atmosphere began to lighten, the dark tendrils of energy recoiling and retreating like serpents fleeing
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
