to be in awe of her when she handled herself like this.

I had expected more. More anger, more questions and definitely more tears and tantrums. But yet again my little mate surprised me. Rolling my lips together I looked over at Knox who was giving her the same, loved-up fool eyes that I knew I was. But honestly, it was hard not "Maybe it is just because we are used to Lilly and her drama that we expect the same from Charlotte." Rolo offered. A fine theory, because growing up Charlotte had always been at Lilly's side, I guess we just assumed she was like our bratty sister but as it turned out we had her wrong.

So very wrong.

"Are you ok?" I asked her, giving her thigh a gentle squeeze. Slowly she nodded her head. "Perhaps that's enough for now?" I offered, but we all knew we didn't have time to spare with the Moon goddesses deadline looming and Astaroth's offer hovering in the back of our minds. "So, does anyone know why it was put in Lilly's marriage contract that I was to marry and be forced to mate Michael?" Charlotte asked, my eyes drifted back to my mother's as I waited for an answer, although I had a feeling she was just as clueless as we were. "No, I am not sure. I just know it was a non negotiable condition," She answered and I felt powerful anger brewing within my mate. Turning to look at her, I was surprised to see her face so calm. Chancing a glance around her to Knox I saw the same suspicious look on his face.

"Can you sense that?" I asked him through mindlink. Sensing pride and arousal eating at my brother I fought the urge to roll my eyes at the mother fucker because like now was the time to get a damn stiffy.

"Yep. She is angry." He scoffed, evidently impressed with her rage. Not sure I like the idea of throwing her down right now and trying to get her to spread those creamy thighs of hers.

"She'd most likely use them to suffocate you." Rolo grunted, agreeing with me. Locking eyes on my brother, they widened in shock.

"Angry?" I asked in amazement. "It feels more like...hate." I replied, cautiously watching my little mate.
