Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 141 What Do You Know?

“No!” My girl announced with a firmness that made my heart sore with pride, only for it to sink in the next breath seeing the scumbag approach her, and the turmoil he was putting her through. I couldn’t help but smile through the pain, noting how Charlotte’s resolve remained unwavering in the face of pure evil.

Evil she shouldn’t even be in a room with, let alone facing, while I remained pinned like a butterfly to a board by some sick and twisted psychopath. I clenched my jaw as I fought against the malevolent powers that choked me. But it was pointless, despite our earlier triumph. He was too strong- and I was smart enough to know that I needed to preserve my energy for when I got free from his invisible chains.

“What’s so bad about little old me grinding on your daughter? I am handsome, I am sexy! I am powerful! She will love it!” Astaroth chortled with malice into my mind, his crassness enough to make my blood boil painfully with rage. I knew he was trying to bait me! Something I wouldn’t allow. I was stronger than him! If not physically, then I had to be mentally!

“It’s OK, Princess.” I nodded, my voice choked as he sent a new wave of pain coursing through my body.

“I mean, I am hoping she takes after her mother, no offence buddy, but… you’re not exactly my type.” Astaroth’s words sliced through my thoughts like a sharpened blade. “She is strong, beautiful and brave!” He added with respect that irritated me, but not as much as he did when he approached Charlotte, his hand. landing on her hip tauntingly.

“Get away from her!” I screamed my voice horse and choked by the blood coating my throat from whatever attack he had just used to boil my insides. The demon’s laughter echoed in the room, a mocking chorus to my disbelief.

“How could this creature be so delusional, so arrogant as to believe that any alpha wolf would willingly allow their daughter to mate with a demon?” Knox bellowed into my mind, my lips tightening, hearing the pain that was eating at him too.

“She won’t be mating him!” I replied because I should be able to protect those I loved! Although, I knew I couldn’t. Not here, not in this realm! Not like this!

“Not happening…” Before I could finish my sentence and voice my outrage, Astaroth’s menacing voice cut through my rage, addressing me directly with a chilling certainty. His words struck like lightning, searing through my willpower with a cruel clarity.
