Chapter 84: Stay Hidden
Lottie POV
“You are exhausted; your body is flagging Char!” Sage moaned at me, and I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes; I was exhausted! Goddess knows I could fall asleep standing up.
“I know, but Kane and Knox need me to get these answers! Lilly needs me to help Bash!” And like fuck was I going to let them down, they had lost their father and needed justice and solutions!
“No, Char, they need you to support them, to hold their hands and tell them it’s all going to be okay,” Sage whispered, clearly nervous about my response to all
this.
“But it’s not going to be okay.” I sighed, “Not unless we can fix it.”
“Char, you can’t fix everything.” Sage sighed, and I knew she was right, but I could at least try! “Go be with the twins!”
“I can’t!” I breathed. “This is all my fault; how am I meant to go in there and face them when this… is all on me! If I had just rejected them like my father had said, maybe none of this would have happened!”
“Maybe… but they would still be in pain, Char.. Do you truly think they would just accept your rejection? Do you think they would just let you walk away? Because I don’t!” Sighing, I didn’t answer because I honestly didn’t know what to say.
“But..” Was all I could muster.
“Char, Havoc tore that room apart tonight because Mike baited him; you were at his side… literally declaring yourself their mate.. a bond set in blood… And still, he tore the place apart. What do you think he would do if you left them? Because let me tell you… he would pull the world apart to find you. They both would.. and how many lives would be lost then?”

“I don’t know.” I groaned, needing her just to be quiet.
“More than we lost tonight..” she continued, trying to get through to me.
“But NOT their father, Sage! Not Leigh..”
“Luna.” Liam prodded, trying to bring me back to reality. “How can we help?”
“I was going to.. ask..” I stammered, my tone laced with heartbreak, my eyes still on my father’s tooth; following its blood trail, I met my father’s furious face as he pulled himself to his knees but remained on the floor. Mike was behind him, looking.
paler than I had ever seen him but silent, probably trying to plan his next move.
“Charlotte?” Kane’s voice cut through my head, and I sighed, closing my eyes; I had blocked them out, unable to cope with the overwhelming emotions ripping them apart.
“I am here, Ace.” I smiled; despite the pain in his voice, I felt my body relax at the familiar presence of him inside my head.
“Where are you?” He asked, but I knew he already knew.
“Getting answers. Is Knox okay?” I asked, biting my lip as I waited with bated. breath for him to speak.
“No… He needs..”
“There was a male here, Kane, who said he saw what happened to your father. He could clear Havoc’s name.”
“He could also be lying,” Kane warned me, but I could hear the hope in his voice, and I closed my eyes, needing him to have the same faith in Havoc that I did.
“Kane.. he didn’t do it! I know it! I will be there soon…” I pleaded gently.
“Okay, but I am coming to you.” He sighed deeply, making me tense quickly.
“No!” I snapped, panic whirling through my body at the idea of Knox being.left

alone, but also.. Mike and my father’s earlier words played through my mind.
“Mike thinks you are dead, and so does my father.”
“What, Why?” He yapped, but the anger that flared in his throat was apparent.
“I don’t know why, Kane, but I need you to stay hidden… Please. Trust me.” I begged my mate through our bond.
“I do… But Charlotte… You are going to have to start accepting help. You can’t fight every battle on your own.”
“I am not on my own!” I smiled, lifting my eyes to meet three sets of cautious eyes. “I have help.. and trust me. I am safe! I promise!” I grinned slowly.
“I need more than that..”
“Kane.. I love you… I do, and I know it is killing you, but I need you to watch and protect Knox.. and Lilly… And let me protect you! Just this once… you can punish me later for not listening.. okay!”
“I will hold you to that, Charlotte!” He laughed lightly, but I could hear the pain in his voice.
“I should bloody hope so!” I laughed about to cut the link off but paused to ask one final question..
“Kane… How is Sebestain?” I asked, bracing myself for the worst.
“Holding on for his wolf.. but..”
“Make sure he holds on! I will be there soon!” I ordered cutting the link off and focusing back on the Alpha’s in front of me.
“Back with us?” Liam, asked, a brow arched as he watched me.
“Yes, sorry.” I apologised nervously, stammering over my words. “I was.. em.. going to say?”

“You would like us to secure everything while you chat with these two.” He nodded, checking over his shoulder to the large Alphas behind him, who simply nodded in agreement. “Done!”
“BUT..” Chase interjected softly. “I am not sure how I feel about leaving you alone with this one..” The blonde motioned with his boot to my father, who was still struggling to find his feet, no doubt from the ringing in his ears.
“Don’t touch me!” My father hissed, and I scoffed, wondering if he had forgotten that he already had.
“He will remember when he looks in the mirror and sees his tooth missing.” Sage giggled.

“What would Kane and Knox say if you asked to be left alone with these two…. after what he just pulled?” Adam asked, his eyes observing me for any signs I was lying.
“They would trust my judgment!” I lied, stubbornly pursing my lips and crossing my arms over my chest.
“Liar… He would already be dead!” Sage laughed, and I could see that they thought the same thing!
“Really? Because I saw how your mate ripped that ballroom apart because that one.” Pointing at Mike in disgust, he shook his head and looked back at me. “Said something… disrespectful.”
“That was different!” I laughed nervously, picking at my nailbeds.
“Yeah, Liam was right; I am not risking your mate’s wrath. Sorry, Luna, but it’s for on speaking to
your safety until I hear from them. AND ours! So, if you.”
