Kane POV"Knox, you bellend!" I roared through to my brother, who I could see was teasing our girl and, given what I was feeling through the bond, had allowed her to fucking cum, like the dickbag he was."Sorry bro, but she needs it! I'm not sending her out there with them vipers all tense and shit! I want her relaxed!" He snapped, and I had to admit it made sense. "You think this is going to work?" He added; I could hear the apprehension in his voice and frowned."It has, too!" I nodded, seeing him in the mirror. "Maybe I should go find her; I am good at calming her down!" Mike announced aloud, pulling me from my conversation with Knox. He clearly was still referring to Antony's announcement that Lottie was having second thoughts. Which she fucking wasn't! "Why?" I asked, looking at Mike with confusion. I wanted to laugh at his fake smile that was fooling no one. A smile I highly suspected I would have knocked off his face if Lottie hadn't distracted me so deliciously."I have had
Kane POF Exchanging a glance with my father, I nodded for him to do his thing. My eyes scanned those I loved: my mother, who stood proudly beside my father, her grace unmatched by anyone currently in the room. Beside her, my sister stood, her hand wrapped tightly around her mate's arm as she looked at me with a mixture of hate and pride. Unbothered, I grinned at her; I knew she would come around eventually. Beside them stood Connie, who was busy trying to charm Anthony into believing she was a great warrior worthy of a place on patrol—ever the optimist. Mike was nowhere to be seen. Thank goddess! "Maybe he got the hint and fucked off!" Rolo grunted hoarsely. "Doubtful!" I laughed, stepping towards my father, who was heading to the centre of the ballroom to make his announcement. "If I can have everyone's attention!" Pop announced, his voice booming and proud. "I am sorry for the hold-up! We were waiting for my youngest to arrive! But we can forgive her lateness; she is newly mated
Kane POV"As my father said, Knox and I have been away travelling the world for training and all that boring crap no one truly cares to hear about. We came home to celebrate Lilly's union, only to find there was more here for us than just obligation and family..." I announced, ignoring Mike and his childish behaviour to look at the doors that hid my mate; with a nod, they opened.I smiled, seeing everyone turn to look at the tall figure stepping through; in his suit, the exact shade of midnight, with those purple accents I knew he had picked to match our girl! He looked every bit the handsome fucker I knew women thought my brother was, his tattooed hand outstretched and waiting for someone to join him. I could feel the excitement buzzing in the room. "We have found our mate!" I beamed, my voice crackling as the beautiful vision of Charlotte emerged from the blackness behind Knox.The gasps coming from everyone had my stoney heart melting for my girl; I just hoped she could finally se
Lottie POVI had watched Lilly crave everyone's attention throughout the years, seeing her thrive in the limelight, wanting all eyes to be on her. Determined in her quest to be the most sought-after female in the pack, she did everything she could to ensure those admiring eyes never drifted elsewhere. "Because she is a spoilt brat!" Sage laughed. She was right, but she was still my best friend. As much as I hated to admit it, I wish Lilly was standing beside me now! From the dresses Lilly wore at events like this- to the shortest of shorts and revealing tops, combined with how she wore her make-up, she oozed sex appeal and never failed to be the name on everyone's lips. Something I could do with right now as I tried to charm everyone into believing I was good enough for the Alpha twins of this pack! I had always envied her confidence, but never more than now as I felt all those eyes fall upon me; I am confident if I turned now, I would see Lilly's face glaring at me, hating having t
Knox POV "Don't do it!" Kane's voice commanded through our brotherly connection; arching a brow at him, I shook my head so over these fuckers insolence! "If you do! You will just be giving him the satisfaction of knowing he got to you!" "Yeah, but Lottie will know I have her back! Right now, she thinks we are OK with her being disrespected like this!" I snarled back at my brother, whose eyes were still locked on Lottie's face, watching her like a damn hawk. "She knows we have her!" "Yeah, we keep telling her that! But actions speak louder than words, brother," I snarled, turning to look at Mike, who dared to glare at me as if he wasn't shitting himself. "Is this because those delicate feelings of yours are still hurt over her picking us over your hairy ass?" I asked with a dismissive laugh that earned a few chuckles from those around us. "Knox!" Lottie hissed angrily. But I was on a roll; I could hear the laughter form in the hall and hoped to cause this prick the same emb
Lottie POV It was like time slowed, and everything happened in slow motion. I had no words to describe the wide range of emotions tearing me apart. I could feel the devastating fury rippling through Knox and knew before he turned to look at me that he was not entirely in control. Havoc was beneath the surface. And people were panicking. Growing up in the pack house with Lilly, I had seen Rolo, Kane's wolf, so many times I could recall every detail about him: the colour of his fur, the way it shimmered when the light touched it, the sound of his howl as his paws padded on the floor when he chased Lilly and I. Havoc, though: I had only seen a handful of times and never close up. I remember questioning Lilly as children and her telling me that Knox's wolf was naughty and not allowed out to play. Memories flashed through my mind, and I vaguely remember once overhearing Alpha and my father discussing how Havoc had ripped a rogue apart like a chew toy. I had, like everyone, heard the r
Lottie POV"Charlotte.. please." I heard Kane whine, feeling his hand graze over my shoulder as I faced the rather beautiful face of HAvoc; he reminded me of a magnificent creature I had seen in a dream once. Lifting my hand to touch his black fur, I jumped when Havoc's snarling teeth snapped at the side of me Kane was trying to grab. Anger exploded within me, and in a moment of insanity, I raised my hand and smashed it down on Havoc's snout with strength I did not know I had. "I got ya girl!" Sage barked, letting me know she had also had enough of Knox and Havoc's temper tantrum."What the hell is wrong with you!" I barked. Havoc's head spun to glare at me, those eyes shining with bloodlust."Charlotte! What are you doing?!" Kane gasped, more of a statement than a question, I noted as fear radiated from him and those behind me. "Teaching this little shit a lesson!" I growled, turning to face Havoc, whose eyes had tightened on me. Those around us who hadn't had a chance to get from
Kane POV Looking through Rolo's golden eyes, desperate to see Lottie being swept off to safety by my mother, I felt panic rip me apart as my eyes instead settled on my father as he hurtled back to the floor, shock and fury twisting his features. My heart plummeted, catching him and the unknown male fighting; whoever it was, I had never seen him before, so he had to be one of the visiting pack members. Thanks to Havoc's explosion, any number of them could have seized the opportunity to attack my father and try to grasp what was his. I relaxed as Havoc finally moved, giving me a better view of my father. Pride swelled in my chest at seeing him advance with strength and unrivalled force that I hadn't seen him use in years. I could see that whoever my father was fighting was losing against his speed and kick-ass moves. Calming, I allowed them to continue, confident that although they were tearing chunks out of each other, my father would come out the victor. The snarls and growls fill
