Knox POV"Well..." My father began, but Lottie was on a roll and was taking no shit today. Fuck she was sexy! Real sexy when she was feisty like this! "I came to you a few times, asking to return to the packhouse, because I was unhappy with my relationship. I even said that I didn't feel appreciate
Lottie POVI loved my alpha, I always had. Damn, I respected him more than I did my own father and not just because he was my Alpha, but because he had earned my respect and loyalty. So finding out now that the pair of them had let Knox down so fucking epically was infuriating. I got it, they wanted
Lottie POV"Ooo fun times! I have never removed a tongue before. Could I do it?" I heard Chase ask from behind Knox. "I thought you were checking in on Adam and Liam?" I asked, arching a brow at my newest friend and..."Brother." Sage bounced excitedly. Feeling my throat tighten, I swallowed hard t
"Don't get too close... You don't know where it's been." I shrugged before turning to walk towards my room. Although, never had the walk from the ground floor to the alpha floor felt like such a chore. I just wanted my bed, my mate's and to wake up to find this had all been a bad dream."Charlotte..
Kane POV"Is she asleep?" I asked Knox, although I already knew she was from her soft little snores. Tilting his head to look at her, his lips twisted into a smile as he nodded at me. "Sap." Rolo laughed through my mind, the sound bouncing off the walls of my skull, making me want to scream."Like
Kane POV"So, you rang?" Astaroth asked, looking directly at me. Bloody snitch!"Rang?" I questioned, because I had most certainly not called for this prat to arrive and antagonise those whose support I needed. "Well, you were thinking that you needed to talk to me." Astaroth muttered, clearly feel
"No. We need her to hate us, for a time. She needs a reason to not allow us anywhere near her, to make her think she is rejecting us.. For real." I sighed, getting up off the bed to pace the room and work through the tension forming behind my eyes."A ruse... So we are not only fooling the moon godd
Mike POV Finding myself strapped to a chair, my wrists and ankles bound tightly to the legs by tight leather biting into my skin. I couldn't believe where my luck had taken me. I mean come on, all I did was spike the punch and maybe upset Knox. "And set the wheels in motion for our Alpha to get k
"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
