Kane POV

Chapter 139: Play Our Part!

“You insulted the Moon goddess, and there will be

consequences for that.” Astaraoth announced, making my jaw clench, because I knew he was most likely right. She would have to make an example of us. “I imagine the second Lottie here rejects you,” he declared, stepping toward us, as I instinctively stepped back. “The second she.is out of the picture, your second–chance mates will suddenly pop up, and you will be powerless to fight that bond.”

“You dare suggest such a thing?” Knox’s voice ripped through the room, with a low and dangerous edge to his tone that made me more than a little nervous. “No one could ever replace her!” he spat, and I felt Charlotte tighten her grip on my chest. I agreed, of course.

“Personally, I would force you two to watch as Lottie here found her second chance mate. Fell in love and raised those pups without you.” Astaroth announced, setting a fire under the simmering pot of Rage I was trying to control.

“There is no one else for me, just Kane and Knox.” Charlotte declared with resolve that left no doubt in my mind she meant it. At this moment in time, she meant it!

“How can you stand there and listen to this shit!” Knox roared,* Charlotte’s eyes darting between us filled with unshed tears. I hated seeing them like this, but we needed to stop.burying our heads in the sand and face facts! Our union might not be what was for the best for Charlotte!

“The fated mate bond has brought us nothing but pain and suffering, Knox,” I admitted with a sigh, feeling Charlotte tense in my arms. I leaned down and kissed her forehead, needing to reassure her that I loved her without question, but the bond itself was the issue. “This bond keeps trying to tear us apart. Time and time again. Perhaps severing it is the only way to end this cycle of torment.” I admitted with a sigh that wore heavy on my soul.

“No!” Charlotte growled, shoving my chest to get away, but I held her tight, refusing to let her go.

I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. “But he’s right. It’s the only way to protect you, to keep you

tied to me! A traitor’s daughter!” Charlotte uttered, pain etched in her tone. I was about to reassure her, but
