Lottie POV
"Get your lazy ass up!" Lilly demanded, her shrill voice making me groan; flopping onto my stomach, I pulled her pillow over my head, hoping to silence her.
"No!" I grumbled, images of Knox and I last night still floating around my head, making my thighs ache, and pussy clench deliciously. I could deny it as much as I like, but no male has ever had me feeling as alive as Knox! It pissed me off beyond belief that the male that had managed to ignite such a fire in my core was so bloody undesirable!
"Char! Come on!" Lilly groaned, pulling the sheet off me; the cold air assaulting my body had my nipples hardening further against the soft fabric of Lilly's Pj's. "It's my big day! I need my best friend at my side!" She complained, but the edge to her tone told me she was not about to give up any time soon.
"Fine! I am up!" I grumbled, throwing the pillow in the direction Lilly's voice came from while pulling myself up. Smelling strong coffee, I smiled sleepily over at Lilly, the last remnants of my dream and her sexy brother slowly fading from my mind as I took the coffee she handed me.
"Are you ok? You're very flush! You're not getting sick, are you?" She puffed, taking a step back as if I had the plague.
"I dunno, sleeping with your best friend's brother is kinda sick!" Sage grinned, teasing me.
"I didn't sleep with Knox!" I huffed, sipping my coffee and ignoring my melodramatic best friend and pain-in-the-ass wolf.
"I can't get sick today, Char!" Lilly moaned, watching me as she handed me a mirror to show me how red-faced I was, dropping it on the bed, not needing to look to know I was blushing.
"It's just from a bad dream!" I assured her, hoping to drink the rest of my coffee in peace.
"Well, you aren't lying! You were terribly... bad... in those dreams! Very bad indeed! I mean the way you spread your legs and let him nuzzle that handsome face between them!" Sage whispered seductively in my mind.
"Charlotte! Are you ok? You're shaking?" Lilly inhaled, taking the coffee cup from my hands before I dropped it. Her hand pressed to my forehead sympathetically. "Charlotte?"
"Do you think he will be as skilled with his tongue as you imagine him to be?" Sage continued, making me blush further. "Lord knows he was good with his.."
"Enough!" I screamed at my wolf, cutting our link off so I could focus and calm my trembling hands and racing heart. The concern on Lilly's face startled me back to reality.
"I am ok! Honestly!"I muttered, shaking my head at the images Sage had interjected into my mind on a loop.
"You haven't caught one of those human bugs, have you?" Lilly's face was pulled into a mask of distress.
"I should tell her! In the 18 years we have been friends, I have never lied to her! I don't feel right doing so now!" I stated guiltily to Sage, only to remember I had cut her off- and for good reason too!
I knew exactly what she would say on the matter, too: Dick, dick and more dick!
It seemed since we left Knox's room, it was all she could think of! And a certain male's dick in particular.
Sucking down my breath, seeing Lilly's frantic eyes searching my face needily. Today was her big day! She had been dreaming of this day for as long as I had known her, finding her mate, making it official and making her family and pack proud.
It was what Lilly had been bred for!
I, on the other hand, needed more! I needed the rawest form of love, trust and security, all of which was something Knox could not offer me! The thought cemented what I already knew; It was a one-off! Despite how glorious his dick felt rubbing up against me. Sighing, I softened my features, ignoring the aching between my thighs.
"I think the last 24 hours have caught up with me, seeing Mike and that trollop in my bed! That's all!" I expressed lying to her face for the second time in a few hours.
"I'm sorry, Char; he really is a piece of shit! Want me to ask Knox and Kane to give him a good hiding." Shaking my head dramatically with a nervous laugh, I gripped her hands and pulled her onto the bed, ignoring her protests.
"NO!" It's embarrassing enough that I caught them having sex in my bed; I don't want the whole pack talking about it!" I groaned, grabbing the pillow and throwing it at her with an arched brow. "And it's not like your brothers don't like a good gossip as much as the next or are short of bedfellows for pillow talk!" I admitted rolling my eyes at the jealousy eating at me.
"Hmmm, yeah, I understand that!" She chuckled, throwing the pillow back at me as she got back off the bed, holding her hand out to pull me up.
"But if he becomes a bother! I will tell them! I know you think they don't care about you, Charlotte, but they see you as a little sister! They won't stand for his bullshit!" She expressed, looking at me in the mirror as she fixed her hair. I could feel her eyes stalking my features, hoping I was taking note.
"Lord, I hope they don't see you as a sister! Not sure how I feel about incest!" Sage grunted, working her way through the barrier I had put up. "Although... I am up for calling Knox Daddy if you are?" She added with a wiggle of those thick brows of hers.
"Way to lower the tone, sage!" I huffed, ignoring her like before as I helped Lilly prepare for her big day!
Two hours later, we were making our way through an empty pack house; Alpha Leigh had seen to it that no one would see his daughter until the ceremony, so not a single person remained in the pack house but Lilly and I.
"Are you not nervous?" I asked; standing at the back doors, I squeezed her hand. She looked beautiful! But then Lilly always did; her Alexander Mcqueen wedding dress was fit for royalty, which was accurate given that Lilly was mated to the heir to the Meadow Pack, with their ancient ties to royalty among the Lycan community. Lilly would bring power and title to her and our pack through this ceremony.
"No, just excited!" She whispered, pushing the doors open to peek out at the beautifully decorated garden with its subtle nod to the pack's colours: white and blue tulips lined the cobbled path, and above, suspended like bunting, hung the stunning white and blue jasmine vines that I know Luna had shipped especially for today, wanting to show respect to her daughters intended but more so the Luna of The Meadow pack, word had it they were her favourite flower. No expense had been spared for today! Everything was perfect and precise! Like Lilly!,
"Wow, it's stunning." I gushed as the door heaved open, and Alpha Leigh stepped in, his eyes falling on his daughter and blurring with tears instantly in a way only a proud father could.
"Told you, you looked beautiful!" I grinned, nudging Lilly's hip with mine seeing him try not to cry at the sight of his daughter in her ceremonial dress.
"You like Daddy?" She screeched, turning slowly to show him what his money had brought. It was an exquisite dress, floor length, made with the softest of silk-like her bridesmaids; it had a deep V cut out the front down to her navel, the area had been filled with lace, the pack's crest embroidered onto it in the staple deep blue. The back was open, showing off her beautiful tanned skin, lines of crystals again in the staple blue running across her shoulder, attaching at each shoulder to hold her dress in place, it was a very contemporary dress, and she pulled it off perfectly but definitely a little low cut for my tastes, but it screamed Lilly!
"You look like a princess!" He gushed, straightening no doubt in an attempt to control his emotions; his eyes scanned me with a warm smile, looking at my dress with a chuckle.
"I half expected you to turn up in yoga pants and a hoodie Charlotte!" He teased with an affectionate wink. He was right, of course; I lived in training and gym clothes. When your Father was the Beta, you tended to spend the majority of your time training.
"Daddy!" Lilly scolded, "Don't encourage her! It took me weeks to bribe her into the dress!" She scoffed, popping her hip out, giving me a firm stare.
"Ooo, Bribe? What is it costing me, huh!" He chuckled, pulling his pouting daughter to his side and looking at her one last time!
"Her firstborn child is being called Charlotte!" I grinned up at him, satisfied with myself.
"And if it's a boy?" He laughed, shaking his head at our antics.
"Still, Charlotte!" I giggled playfully, seeing Alpha roll his eyes and turn back to his daughter with pride.
"Charlotte, can you excuse us a moment, I would like a minute with my baby before...." He whispered, his voice cutting off as his eyes locked on his daughter with such love.
"She will always be your baby girl!" I whispered, leaning up on my tiptoes to press a soft kiss to my alphas cheek; he was like a second father to me and seeing him so overwhelmed at the sight of Lilly was very out of character for him, even behind closed doors he always seemed to favour the twins.
Winking at my best friend before slipping out the doors and into a solid form and familiar scent, I groaned audibly; even Sage was finally waking up, sensing the danger.
Lottie POV"What are you doing here!" I questioned, trying to keep my tone neutral, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing my upset. Allowing my eyes to roam over a dark blue pin-stripped tailored suit that barely fit the muscular form of Mike. His dark eyes trained on me, his lips pulled into a scowl as he looked down my body, his lips twisting in distaste. "Nice to see you too, baby girl!" He sighed, having just referred to Lilly as 'baby girl' to her father; hearing it slip from Mike's lips felt wrong, but I couldn't be bothered to argue with him about his pet name for me now, not when Alpha and Lilly are on the other side of the door. "Lottie?" He huffed, waiting for me to say something, but I had nothing to say, trying to hide his frustration by running a hand through his dark hair"When he does that, he looks like he has just gotten out of bed!" I whispered to Sage, who was watching Mike cautiously through my eyes. "He probably has!" She sighed memories of walking
Knox POV"I highly suggest you step away from her." I stated, leaning against the wooden pillar my mother had installed to hang the ridiculous flower display from. "I highly suggest you fuck off!" The male who was currently unzipping his flies while pinning my girl to an alcove retorted sarcastically, making me scoff. My focus, however, was on how Charlotte had tensed, evidently recognising my voice."Take your dick out, and I promise you, it will no longer be attached but be on the floor at your feet." I warned seriously."Mate, can't you see you are interrupting a private moment." The male rasped in frustration. "I couldn't care less!" I smirked. "Hello, Lottie, wanna tell your male friend here to step back for me, angel? I really don't want to get blood on my suit; we both know Lilly will throw a fit." I expressed, winking at my girl as she turned to look at me, her face pulled into a mixture of hatred and arousal. "Knox, bad timing!" She hissed, but seeing how the male's head s
Lottie POV "What are you doing? For god sake, let him go, Knox!" I asked from behind them, looking at the tense form of Knox pinning Mike to a wall in a compromising position. "You always have to take shit too far, don't you!" I grumbled, remembering all the shit Knox and Kane had pulled over the years. "Lottie, help me, please!" Mike begged from where he was trapped against the wall, caged by Knox's body with a stick pressed against his quivering asshole. "Proving a point." Knox answered honestly with a soft shrug of his broad shoulders. "By shoving a stick up my boyfriend's ass?" I snapped, crossing my arms and popping my hip. Outrage shone in my eyes, aimed straight at the pair of them. Seeing the pain rip through Mike's face, I sighed; it sucked seeing him look at me like that, but I was so over this shit! "Ex-boyfriend!" Knox seethed, dropping the stick and Mike from his hold before stalking over to me only to take my face in his hands, bitterness flashing in his eyes as h
Lottie POV: It was a miracle that I hadn't fallen flat on my face walking down the aisle with the sensations from Knox's touch rippling through my body and the fierce burning I felt at the back of my head from his twin brother Kane! Quite simply, I was a hot mess! Sage wasn't exactly helping either with her incisive rambling about how 'fit' Kane was! Like I didn't have eyes in my fucking head! I knew! I could see! And given the way my sex was soaked, I had a feeling even my insatiable pussy had noticed! Bastards! Why couldn't they have returned fat, ugly and riddled with spots? Or mated!"Charlotte, will you focus!" My father snapped through the link at me. "I am!" I lied, pursing my lips, I narrowed my eyes at him as he stood in the second row behind Alpha Leigh, who looked like he was about to cry. Turning my attention to Lilly, I took the flowers from her and smiled at the joy written all over her face. The excitement emanating from her was unmatchable; I knew she had been wait
Kane POV"I'd rather fuck you!" I mused, watching her walk away, her blue silky dress clinging to every curve of her pert little ass. Smirking to myself, instantly, knowing that she would be mine. And my brother, and whoever the fuck that other male was, would soon learn that Kane does not share well with others.I admit, it had been years since I'd seen Charlotte; she had grown up, no longer the pimple-faced brat who whined at every turn. Or argued at every move we made to keep her safe! Instead, in her place, a beautiful, strong, clearly gorgeous, but still moody female that had just decided was mine. My lip twisted into a smile, watching her walk over to Lilly. Clearly, they were still close, which made it easier for me to spend time with her. I made a mental note to speak to Lily and find out what I had missed where Charlotte was concerned."Brother, having fun!" I grinned, feeling him come to stand beside me."You know me!" He shrugged, and I knew without turning to look at him
Lottie POV "Is this fucker for real!" I snapped at Sage, who was ignoring me to make sappy eyes at Kane. "Goddess, give me strength!" I grumbled, looking at Kane with perplexity. "You know I am not twelve anymore, right?" I sighed at Kane with exasperation, holding my hand out. "Can I have my phone back, please!" "No!" He grumbled, his face tightening uncomfortably. "Come stand with your family, let people see you, Charlotte, instead of hiding back here." "I wasn't hiding!" I barked, crossing my arms and rolling my eyes. "Texting your 'boyfriend' then!" He sarcastically muttered. I narrowed my eyes at him, overcome with an unfamiliar emotion I didn't want to acknowledge. "Kane!" I started to say, stepping into him and ignoring the hand that he held out to me. "Let me, and you get something straight right now." The way his eyes blackened and the air around us became thin told me I was playing a dangerous game with this alpha male. "The days where you and Knox boss me around,
Lottie POV:I knew what Sage was going say before the words left her sex-addicted lips."Because he is..""If you say hot! Or fit! I swear to the goddess I will skin you and wear you as a damn coat to his wedding!" I snapped at Sage, who simmered down with a chuckle. He was the reason I had been so sheltered my whole childhood. Now he was back for less the 24 hours and was already slipping back into old habits and becoming a pain in my fucking ass!Taking the opportunity to disappear and sneak out of the hall, I quickly made my way from the old church grounds and
Lottie POV"Is that SO!" Kane asked darkly; I could hear the smirk in his tone before the harsh swat landed on my ass, making me yelp for more, his hands tightening on my wrists, reminding me he was in control. The familiar sting began to cover the skin of my bottom; I pulled myself to lie fully across his lap, leaning my head and shoulders over where he had perched on the stool, allowing him to completely dominate this experience. "Yes!" I barked while his hand rubbed the spot he had just abused, wiggling my ass into his hold, beseeching him for more without saying it."But I will behave for the next ten minutes if you continue." I bartered his laughter, filling the large kitchen."The rest of the damn day!" He countered, making me groan. "Or I stop!" He warned, removing his hand. Instantly, I felt lost without its presence, so I reluctantly nodded, surrendering. "Use your words, Lottie!" His hand still absent. "Yes, fine!" I whispered. "For the rest of the day!" I promised, and i
