Liam POV Smiling, I jogged back through the front door, and not for the first time, I was surprised by how extravagant the house seemed. This was our headquarters and home of the Sparrow brothers—a pack in its own right. Not that all recognised us as alphas within our family or most social circles;
"I know, Liam. It's just... hard." She sighed, leaning into my embrace."It is," I agreed, leading her towards my car, which surprised her. "But you're not alone. You have me, and you have our pack. We'll face this together." I dangled the car keys in front of her. "But that can all start tomorrow.
Kane POV"I will be two minutes," Connie purred, attempting to sound seductive as she swept into the fitting room, trailed by an assistant whose expression screamed frustration. It was well past closing time, and this exhausted employee clearly wanted to go home. And fuck did I get it. "Don't you t
Kane POV "Okay, I have so many ideas," Connie beamed, excitedly ticking off options on her fingers: "There's the classic A-line, then maybe something with layers of tulle, or what about a sequined mermaid gown?" Her enthusiasm had made me nervous about how long we would be staying and what this was
Lottie POV I sat in the car, my hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as I bombed it down dark country lanes, the night swallowing up the beam of our headlights. The road was a serpentine twist through the heart of nowhere, bordered by looming trees that danced eerily with the wind. It was the
Liam POVAs Lottie drove quickly down the lanes, I closed my eyes, my stomach lurching with every sharp turn. "I can't believe you let her drive." V hissed, and I had to agree; it had been a little reckless on my behalf."Yeah, my bad." I muttered, hating that he was right, as I would never live th
Lottie POVSeeing Knox on the floor, his face a mottled landscape of bruises and his lip split, I felt a surge of nausea. The healing process had begun, his supernatural nature knitting skin and bone back together, but it was slow, and the damage was extensive. His one eye swollen nearly shut, a dee
Chase POV"She is impossible," Adam roared from beside me as we sped towards Knox, his voice thick with frustration. "She's so impulsive, hot-headed, stubborn, and absolutely determined to get her own way. Acts first, thinks later—if at all!" His tone was a mixture of exasperation and bewildered re
"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
Chase POV "Fukers like to keep this place like a freezer." I groaned as I remembered from the last time I stayed here how cold this Packhouse's corridors felt when you ventured them before dawn, a chill that settled in my bones and kept me awake better than any jolt of caffeine. "It's to keep the
Connie POVI smirked despite the heat gathering behind my eyes—every glare in the room fixed on me, accusing, judging, hating. But I refused to shrink back. If they expected fear from me, they would have to dig deeper; I had long learned how to hold my ground, even while tremors of panic crawled ben
Adam’s POVSitting across from Kane, I tried to catch up with his train of thought. Alpha? Me? Where the hell had that come from? My fingers curled around the warm mug in my hands, the scent of coffee doing little to settle the churn of confusion in my gut. Kane had tossed it out so casually, like
Chase POVI lay awake with Lottie nestled snug between Knox and me, the soft glow of the television casting gentle shadows across her sleeping features. The hush of the late hour made every shift of her body and every rise and fall of her chest seem amplified in my head. I tried to focus on the quie
Kane POVI moved quietly down the hallway, my breath still shallow from the events of the night before. Every step echoed in my ears as though the house itself remembered the blood spilled and the betrayals exposed. Adam and Liam were already waiting for me near the top of the stairs, neither lookin
"She has to face Leigh’s and Sebastian's betrayals on her own terms," I reasoned. "No one can do that for her." But it killed me to watch. There was no tidy solution—only the knowledge that, soon, they would be gone from her life forever, and she’d have to live with the aftermath. She dreaded it alm
Kane’s POVMy father and Sebastian both needed to be dealt with—or so the plan went. Feign ignorance, pretend Astaroth had wiped our memories, then strike when the time was right. After that, they’d face death. Everyone agreed it was the only way to end their treachery. The logic was sound, but each
