Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 0349

Kane POV

I watched Charlotte as we moved towards what used to be our room, her legs faltering the closer we got to the room we used to share, as if she were fighting with herself.

"What's up, buttercup?" Knox requested. I licked my lips, wondering if he had sensed her anxiety, too.

"This is wrong." She whispered, and I felt my heart sink. Why was it wrong? If anything, it was more right than things had been in months.

"How so, princess?" I asked, not wanting to push or argue with her; that would not help. She clearly had something on her mind, and it was better that we addressed it before we opened that door and started the next part of our lives. "Connie." she responded, turning to face Knox and me.

"Ah yeah, I will tell her to fuck off out of YOUR room." Knox announced, a smile beaming across his face as he wasted no time in going to kick the bitch out. Charlotte's face flickered with emotion she was obviously holding back. "No." She uttered, shaking her head as she reached out to Knox. I felt my brows tighten in confusion, and given the look on Knox's face as he turned to face her, he, too, was confused.

"Really? After everything she has done to you?" He asked, despite the fact Charlotte was motioning for him to lower his voice. "I can't wait to give her, her marching orders," Knox added, and I had to agree with my brother. The girl had to go. And 'girl' was a term I used very, very lightly.

But Charlotte simply shook her head and walked away, heading back to the stairs, her hand resting on her belly as she chewed her lips thoughtfully. I turned to look at Knox, who was clearly fighting with himself not to go into the Luna suite and kick the pain in the ass out of it and hopefully not so gently, either.

"She has been through enough." I mind-linked my brother. "This needs to be on her terms," I noted as sternly as I could. Because I did agree with Knox, I wanted Connie out of that room; she was not our mate but an intruder, not only in that room but in our lives. "Fine." Knox grumbled, stomping after our little mate, but I could feel through the bond that he did not mind one bit. That Alpha would follow that little creature to the ends of the earth.

"And you wouldn't?" Rolo taunted, making me smile.

However, when she paused outside the room she had been given, I watched her shoulders stiffen. Coming to stand beside her, I rested my hand on the bottom of her back and nodded, letting her know it
