I am sorry for the delay in updates. My partner and I sadly had a miscarriage over the weekend, in our second trimester, it has knocked me sideways as I am having some complications and on medication. Updates will be hit and miss for the next 8 days as I am on bedrest and resting mostly, so please be patient with me.
Connie POV The air was thick with tension as I stood outside the car, my ears straining to catch every word Kane was saying on the phone. He was speaking to one of the Sparrow brothers, and every mention of Lottie's name felt like a dagger to my heart. It was so unfair that she had not only one but
"Enough. This isn't getting us anywhere." Kane groaned loudly. And then I heard her. Lottie."Adam, you can not argue with stupid." Lottie chuckled in the background to her brother. My eyes shot to Kane, pain shot through my chest, seeing his eyes light up in a way they never did when he looked at
Lottie POVI stood in the doorway, my heart pounding as I listened to the muffled conversation Adam was having. The smell of sweet potato fries wafted through the air, a scent so familiar it almost made me dizzy. Adam had put them in the air fryer before leaving the room. I wasn't stupid, I knew exa
But the past had a way of creeping up on me, especially when it came to Knox and Kane. The betrayal still stung, even more so now that I was pregnant and alone. They had chosen another woman over me, and I had been forced to reject them. It was a painful decision, but necessary."Lottie," Liam calle
Knox POVI sat at the bar, staring into the amber liquid in my glass. It was my ninth drink, or maybe my tenth. I'd lost count. The White Flag was filling up as the lights dimmed, and the air was filled with the low hum of conversation and the occasional clink of glasses. Supernaturals of all kinds
"Your new motto, 'I should care... I don't!' loser." Havoc snarled. Closing my eyes, I rubbed my temple with my free hand wishing for a damn time machine."Bit late for that." Havoc added before disappearing to let me deal with the chaos I had started."I tried, Chase. I tried to be there, but she..
Knox POV "Are you still with us, Knox?" Chase asked, sounding bored and fed up with dealing with me. Something he had in common with Kane."And me." Havoc interjected rudely. "Back at you!" I snapped back, not in the mood for his bullshit right now."SHUT UP DAMMIT." I screamed behind me. "I can't
Lottie POVI stood silently behind Chase, the dim light from the hallway casting long shadows on the walls. He was talking to Knox, and from the sounds of it, Knox was drunk... again. I couldn't make out every word, but the slurred anger in Knox's voice was unmistakable.How did I get here? I rubbed
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
Chase's POVAstaroth lingered in the doorway, his satisfied smirk sending a chill down my spine. The grand chamber felt oppressive, the air thick with otherworldly energy that set my nerves on edge. I caught Liam's eye across the room; we both knew we needed to get Lottie and the others out of here—
Kane's POVWe continued our climb, more cautiously this time. The winged demons maintained their circling above but kept their distance. The reddish sky intensified the dramatic ambience, casting warm, golden shadows that made the setting feel even more isolated and formidable. I stayed close to Lot
Lottie POVA creeping sense of panic began to bubble within me as I watched Kane try to reach out through the bond. My heartbeat quickened, and a cold sweat formed at my temples."What's wrong?" Kane asked, his eyes filled with concern as he noticed my distress. I felt a rush of warmth at his gentle
Liam's POV"I think you know," Selene—the Moon Goddess, or whatever she wanted to be called—clarified, her ethereal voice echoing softly in the grand room."No," I roared, closing the distance between us in a heartbeat. My face was mere inches from hers, eyes blazing with a fury that had been simmer
Chase's POVBack in the extravagant bedroom, we closed the door behind us. I leaned back against the cool, ornate wood, feeling the chill seep through my shirt and into my skin as I watched Liam. The cold served as a stark contrast to the heat of the emotions swirling inside me. Liam leaned against
