Chapter 50: SHE Didn’t Offer!

16:

Lottle POV

“Tell him!” Sage encouraged me, but I still felt so nervous; what if he wanted to know everything? I was ashamed of what I had done to get the information, but in truth, the boys finding out that news didn’t scare me half as much as them finding out about the debt my father was effectively offering as my dowry.

“Knox and Kane will sort it!” Sage tried to reason with me, and I knew she was. right, but what she failed to see was THAT was what I was scared of! I didn’t want anyone to die! Not just so I could be happy! What sort of person would I be if I put my happiness with them over a life? Sighing, I looked over at Knox, seeing his tight jaw and the tension in his eyes. I knew he was fighting to push me for the facts.

“But I refused his..request!”

“It was hardly a request; your ribs still hurt!” Sage whispered weakly; I knew she felt just as betrayed by our father. Ignoring her, with a sigh, I continued with my explanation.

“My father was angry because of a debt Mike had agreed to pay if he was allowed to marry me.” I watched his eyebrows knit together as he frowned; I knew he wanted desperately to comfort me, but I knew if he did, I would melt and tell him. the uncensored version of events. I could see the anger boiling in Knox and understood he was answering for fear of saying the wrong thing and muting me again..

Chewing the inside of my cheek, I debated telling him about the beating my father had administered but decided against it; it wasn’t important to the story, and It just made me look weak! They needed a strong mate!

“So you went to see Mike to ask him what the debt was.” Knox summarised when I had evidently paused for too long. His tone was almost as cold as Kane’s, making me regret opening up.
