"Answers?" I asked, arching a brow, my lips pursing into a smug smile. Like we owe him fuck all right now. "We do not know if Astaroth is telling the truth yet." Lottie pleaded into my mind, surprising me. I had thought Sage was MIA. "We would like some answers too," Kane interjected, trying to
Kane POV Closing my eyes, I sucked down a breath, knowing this was going to go south fast. I didn't want my parents to lie to Knox, of course not. He had a right to know what was going on with his wolf, but fuck me they could of at least eased him in. "He can handle it." Rolo reminded me. "You ne
Knox POV "If people found out you didn't have a wolf, they would have picked you off. Knox, you have to see that. You would have been considered feeble... People would have believed you to be your father's weakness." My mother tried to explain. "Seriously she is making no sense, there was no way
Knox POV "Why was Kane at risk?" Lottie asked cutting my father and I off from our side dispute, "Because Twin brothers are usually rivals! At least in our world, you know that! Yet you two broke that mould you became tougher, stronger and fiercely protective of each other..." My father answered L
Lottie POV I knew I was being rude to my Alpha. A male who had always demanded but more importantly, earned my respect. However, as I stared up into the eyes of the only male role model I had growing up, the only male to have continuously shown me support and encouragement, I waited for him to answ
Lottie POV "You're awake." I smiled, seeing Chase leaning up the door. I hadn't heard or seen him come in. But it was amazing to see that smiling face staring at me. I had truly thought the worst back in that realm. "I am, thanks to you, I imagine." He winked over at me as he strolled into the roo
"Your mother came back and settled down with your father because the Lycan King was murdered!" Chase announced, the room falling into a deadly silence. Turning to look at Chase, I held his gaze because suddenly his earlier words resurfaced in my mind. "He was your father, wasn't he?" I asked with c
Kane POVI had expected more. More anger, more questions and definitely more tears and tantrums. But yet again my little mate surprised me. Rolling my lips together I looked over at Knox who was giving her the same, loved-up fool eyes that I knew I was. But honestly, it was hard not to be in awe of
"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
