LOGINAuthor note: If you have read this far you will have read the blurb and know what is to come before book one ends next week... Trust the process, and keep in mind I love Knox and Kane and would rather sacrifice one of my little leaches than have to write them cheating... but there is a reason for everything... and as you have already seen things aren't always what they seem. At least not in this story! <3
Astaroth POVPerched on a ridge above the packhouse, I sat like a shadow stretched long by twilight—still, silent, soaked in rot and thought. The trees around me stood bare and brittle, stripped of bark, stinking of sulfur and secrets. I watched them. The packhouse stood like a monument of misplaced
Knox POVMy father's words hung in the air like smoke."She's not fooling me," my once-father muttered, stepping closer. "I see her. I see through all of you.""Pa," Kane replied coldly, his tone firm, a warning wrapped in ice. A warning Leigh ignored as his gaze narrowed in on my angel.The air in
Kane POVThe kitchen had never felt smaller. Tension bled from every surface, thickening the air, coiling like smoke. I leaned against the edge of the island, one eye on Charlotte—who sat pale but stubborn beside the stove—and the other on the ticking clock. The steady hum of the refrigerator was th

Lottie POV"Seems we can't have one peaceful morning," Knox grumbled, dragging a shirt over his head. The bitterness in his tone wasn't aimed at me—but at the world, maybe. I reached out, brushing my fingers over his hand as he adjusted the hem."Soon, we'll have all the time in the world." I tried
"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'
Lottie POV "Thank you!" I nodded to Selene. "Charlotte." She called to me, her voice soft and angelic. I paused mid-way to pull the door open, turning to look at her sitting elegantly by the fountain. I made a mental note of how breathtakingly beautiful she was so I could tell the twins about her
Lottie POV "When I left my father and Mike with..." I started to explain, but I paused, feeling him stiffen at the mention of the men I once loved, and sighed, knowing this wasn't the point; I was just so nervous. "Well, when I left the room to come find you, I don't know what happened, but I was
"Right. Leave these two to us; how long does Alpha Sebestain have?" Liam questioned the sound of a scream forcing my eyes to fly open. Chase had already moved to Mike and was spinning the letter opener in his thigh to wake him up. "Not long enough! He will be dead within the hour!" My Father laugh
Lottie POV "You are exhausted; your body is flagging Char!" Sage moaned at me, and I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes; I was exhausted! Goddess knows I could fall asleep standing up.
