Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 71: Sink Or Swim!

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. 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 rumours that Havoc was unpredictable, merciless and unfearing of anyone or anything, but in all honesty, I paid it no mind, believing it was a rumour the twins or Alpha had spread to instal fear in the pack and those who may wish to challenge them. After all, what better way to keep people away than to insinuate that your son was a beast that had no morals or issue when it came to taking a life?

However, as I held my hand on Mike’s shoulder and his blood pooled between my fingers like a river of crimson, I realised with startling clarity that Havoc was dangerous; my mate was dangerous.

“Charlotte… Come here!” I heard my father snap, the first real show of emotions I had heard from that man in my whole life. Turning over my shoulder to look at the man who had borne me, I shook my head and went to speak. But Knox cut me off.

“Nah, she doesn’t wanna leave her lover!” He snarled nastily. Spinning my head towards the source of my anger, my eyes settled on Knox; seeing the jealousy that swam in his ocean hues, I growled at him in disgust before looking back at Mike.
