Chapter 47: What Deal?
Lottie POV
Looking over at Knox, I felt Kane’s thumb softly stroke my hip, a sign he was picking up on my nerves and wanted to reassure me; when his touch failed, I felt his lips press against my temple lovingly.
“Relax, he loves you!” He whispered against the side of my head. But how could I relax? If Mike told Knox what happened, all this would be over before I even had a chance to make heads or tails of it. I felt Knox’s anger earlier and knew something had happened between him and Mike; I just didn’t know what… and he wasn’t giving anything away!
“Mike must have chosen to save his own ass!” Sage grunted through the mind link. “Yes, by telling Knox about what YOU did, he would ruin things for you, but he would also be sealing his fate.. Because do you really think Knox would let him live?” She advised me, making me sigh. At least she was talking to me now though, I
guess.
“What happened with Mike?” Kane asked with a nod towards his brother; my eyes searched Knox’s, waiting for him to explain the anger I felt or pull the rug out
from under me.
“Same thing as Connie!” Knox grunted, crossing the room towards us in a few giant strides, pulling me from Kane’s protective hold. My hands pressed on his chest. as I looked up into his face, his hands cupping my cheeks to keep me there as his lips tried to crush down onto mine.
“No!” I whispered, pulling away quickly for fear he would still taste Mike on me, but he pulled me back, his lips hovering over mine, freezing me to the spot with his
eyes.
“I know, and I don’t care!” He whispered, pressing his lips to mine without hesitation as his tongue slipped into my mouth, coaxing mine to dance with his while Knox repeated the same motto over and over against my lips.

“I know, and I don’t care!”
“Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on?” Kane announced from behind. me, his tone filled with exhaustion. Opening my eyes and pulling from the softness. of Knox’s lips, I looked up at him through my lashes, unsure what to do, say, or even think. Did he know? What did he think he knew? And what the fuck was I to do
now?
“What is going on. Is our Queen looks amazing, we look amazing, and it’s time to go show her off to everyone.. Isn’t that right, baby girl?” Knox winked at me as he stepped away, holding his hand out for me to take.
“Because nothing else matters… just her!” He added, nodding to his outstretched hand. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
I could feel the tears stinging my eyes, but I said nothing as I flicked them away with my lashes and took his hand, unsure what I was agreeing to, but something in the way Knox nodded to me told me that everything was going to be ok!
“But… Mike?” Kane grumbled, falling in step beside us.
“Is fine! He knows his place! He knows she is mated to us! He won’t be any more bother!” Knox announced smugly, although I knew Mike and I doubted very much this would be the end of it! He was too stubborn to go down without a fight!
“Because his place is six feet under?” Kane asked slyly with a slight grin that made me roll my eyes despite the chuckle escaping my lips.
“Nope. He is going to stay here with the pack and watch as we give Lottie. everything he couldn’t!” Knox beamed at us both, my heart suddenly in my throat at the way he was looking at me; Kane was right. He truly did love me! Enough to forgive whatever he thinks happened with Mike and me…
“Enough to kill for you!” Sage asked nervously.
“It won’t come to that!” I promised my wolf, and I meant it! “I will be speaking to my father later tonight! I will fix this!” Swallowing the lump in my throat, I chewed my lip to stop me crying.

“Fair enough!” Kane winked, slapping his brother on the shoulder as he walked towards the door. “I will meet you both downstairs.” He grinned, his hand on the handle of the door; I watched him pause to look back at me, a smile on his face that had my stomach tightening deliciously.
“Wait!” I rushed out, stepping away from Knox. “Where are you going?” I asked apprehensively.
“Knox and I
have a deal
“I am so sick of deals!” I grumbled, crossing my arms, my lip poking out in a pout. “What deal…” I watched his lip twist into a smirk as he left the door and turned to face me fully, his beautiful eyes shining with amusement.
“You look stunning when you pout!” He grinned, making me scoff; he was trying to distract me, and it wouldn’t work.
“What. Deal?” I sighed, crossing my arms over my chest moodily.
“I am not very good with words, Charlotte.. but I want you to know how lucky I feel to have you as my mate! You are more than I could ever have hoped for! You are going to make a great Luna, mate and mother to my pups..”
“Stop stalling!” I snapped, trying to hide the flush I felt spreading across my cheeks at his declaration. I knew he meant every word; I could feel it through the
bond. And I loved hearing his truths, but now wasn’t the time!
“Maybe not the pups bit!” Sage grunted uneasily..
Smirking at my suddenly shy wolf, I rolled my eyes as I knew this was Kane’s ploy to keep me distracted or wind me up. Knowing I wouldn’t get Kane to answer, I shifted my focus.
“Dow
know what he is on about?” I asked sternly; spinning around, I glared at Knox, my hand on my hip. Holding his hands up in surrender, he stepped away and over to Kane, who was busy chuckling.
Narrowing my eyes at them, I tried to swallow the feeling of uncertainty that was eating at me.
