Kane POV"Are you sure you want to do this?" Rolo asked as I looked down at the angel sleeping against my chest, her head tucked into my armpit as she lay motionless with fatigue. Sighing, I tucked a loose hair behind her ear and smiled, hating myself for the words about to leave my lips. "We have
Knox POV Biting down on the inside of my lip to stop myself from talking, I did as Kane asked and listened to my brother talk, although I couldn't help but note that he looked like he had aged overnight. "He hasn't slept." Havoc chimed in, making me feel guilty. "He is hurting badly, he is drownin
"Why does she have to fucking go!" I roared, slamming my fist into the wall behind my brother's head."Because if she stays.. I won't be able to cope. I will lose my mind seeing her every day, as she grows with our babies. I can't Knox. And you won't either. I have never seen you like this with a gi
Lottie POVStanding outside Knox's bedroom, my heart pounded with a mix of dread and disbelief. I pressed my ear against the door further, desperate to discover that my mind was playing tricks on me and that my mates were not planning to fucking lie to me and force this bullshit upon me."You know I
Lottie POV "I am still not ruling anything out." Sage growled as she simmered down to listen to Kane as he explained how he thought making people believe he and Knox had cheated on me was a good idea, but he made it very clear it was not because they wanted to, but because Connie, for all intents a
Knox POV Turning on the bed, my eyes came face to face with the cold white hues of the Moon Goddess. She glowed with an otherworldly splendour, her expression unreadable. I knew it was in my interest to keep my temper in check, but honestly, I wanted to rip the bitch apart. Rolling my lips together
Kane POV "You have made your big entrance, got our attention now come on, stop dangling the carrot because we are all ears." I fumed, despite the fact my heart pounded for my brother. I turned to glare at the Moon Goddess, knowing she was speaking of my parents and their apparent betrayal. Because
Kane POV"Charlotte..." I whispered but it evidently fell on deaf ears as I watched my mate leave, a sense of dread churned in my gut. She was agreeing to my plan, a plan I had thought was foolproof. But Charlotte had laid a compelling case at my feet, making me doubt everything. As the door closed
"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
