Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 31: How Can I Help?

Kane POV

“How do you plan to keep her from attending?” Knox asked as we stepped outside Lilly’s room.

“With him.” I stated, nodding to the male walking towards us, dressed in a plain black suit, no doubt one my sister had picked out given the expensive sheen to it.

“Sebastian!” I nodded, holding my hand out for my sister’s mate to shake. After leaving my sister’s room earlier, I had sensed the drama about to unfold, and to ensure everything went smoothly tonight, I had taken matters into my own hands, something that I had apparently become accustomed to doing. Having called a meeting with my father and her mate, I filled them in on our situation, both of them understanding that something had to be done to keep Lilly in check tonight, not just for Charlotte but for her mate’s reputation and our families.

Sebastian needed this alliance just as much as we did. My father wouldn’t be around forever, and it wouldn’t do him much good, having already made enemies of the future Alpha and their Luna. Because despite what my sister thought, Charlotte would be our Luna!

“What am I walking into?” He asked with a sigh.

“A nuclear explosion!” Knox laughed, resting up a wall beside us; unlike me, he wasn’t keen to welcome Sebastian. He couldn’t see past the threat he posed to our pack with the Lycan blood running through his veins. But my brother failed to understand that he was also from one of the most influential families in our world, which gave us unlimited possibilities! Although it also meant he had the power to obliterate us if he so chose to. Our saving grace was that he genuinely seemed to love Lilly, and despite this tiff between us, she would be what ultimately kept us

safe!

“If I can contain the blast, will she be able to attend?” He asked, looking over at the door to my sister’s bedroom longingly.

“No.” I declared. My sister needed this lesson, and I knew missing out on the season’s greatest event would be just the way to punish her.

“She has made her bed… Good luck with her!” Knox grunted, pushing off the wall to head to his room. Flashing Sebastian a smile, I followed my brother, pausing, hearing Lilly’s bedroom door open.

“Bash! My brothers have..”

‘Hush, my love!” He sighed, closing the door behind him; the unmistakable sound of the door locking reassured me he would play his part, as promised. Catching Knox up, I pulled on his arm and nodded for him to follow me, not wanting to say too much as we neared Charlotte’s room. I watched him stiffen as her scent wafted through the door to him, his b*dy instantly relaxing. I knew what he wanted; I wanted the same thing: To be in there with her. But we had one last thing to

arrange.
