Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem) by Pippa Moon

"You are healed, and there is no way that has happened without your wolf, not this quick... Thicko." He added as he slowly made a show of undoing my restraints. Any reply I might have made was cut off by Knox's growl.

"My brother said OUT." Knox fumed. "We need a minute alone with our parents." My mind whirled with reasons why, were they about to out us? Or more importantly, me. So far, they didn't know the full story. However, I was no fool. I knew that if Alpha found out my full involvement in this cock up of a mess we found ourselves in, that would be the end of my future in this pack. Not even the demon could bring me back from that. "Ye of little faith." Astaroth laughed.

"Happily." Lilly snarled, pushing her chair back as she stood, from the table and waltzed towards the door, slowing as she passed Lottie. I watched as everyone sucked in a silent breath praying for Lilly to behave. "Everyone knows," Lilly mocked, like the petty girl I knew and needed her to be.

"Knows what?" Lottie asked, her tone unbothered, I would even say bored, as she addressed her former friend. My lips curled around my swollen tongue as I looked past Liam to watch the events unfold around us. "About you and Mike... Screwing!" She started to say before Lottie attempted to walk away.

"Damn girl, just say it as it is." I muttered inwardly. "Sign my death warrant why don't you." Lilly's cheeks puffed as she continued, the irritation clear across her face. "AND, you and the blonde guy you hid in your bedroom."

"Ah. Ok." Lottie laughed softly the sound like silk against Lilly's childish whine. I felt my lips pull into a frown at the corners seeing Lottie push past her friend to walk into the room to where her mates stood. I really did not liking the feeling of jealousy that seemed to be settling in my stomach.

"Do not turn your back on me, bitch. You are not fit to be part of this family. You are going to drag us into the gutter, with you." She added, anger exploding on Knox's features. Kane's once unreadable expression faltered to show anger rippling through him. "Green truly isn't your colour Lilly." Lottie's only reply before she continued walking away with her head held high. Not what I had thought was going to happen, I had hoped for a catfight, a bitch fest of some kind, but Lottie seemed completely unaffected by the words spilling from her oldest friend's mouth.

"Can you read her?" I asked Flint, who was hovering behind my eyes.

"Yes." He barked annoyed at me, interrupting his viewing time.

"AND!" I groaned, hating that I was having to pull the information from him, he should be on my side and want to help me and further my plans, but instead, given the emotions I sensed swirling in him, he seemingly was pinning for the girl. "And what?" He barked, bugged by my questions.

"What is she feeling?" I snarled through what would be clenched teeth.

"A lot." Sighing, I gave up knowing he wasn't going to tell me shit, by the time I had zoned back into the room, Sebastian was ushering his mate out of the room, while Adam followed them. The tension in his shoulders told me he wasn't impressed at having to babysit the future King of the Lycan's.

Knox and Kane were watching me like I was a bomb ready to go off. Given the smirk on their faces, they were both evidently happy to cut the wire and make sure to minimise the damage.

"Liam, I know you want to get to

chase, and I hate to ask, but I need you to babysit the traitors just a tad longer. Please." Lottie requested her hand resting on Liam's elbow affectionately. I watched the

embrace with intrigue because I could feel the fierce positiveness inside Flint seeing her touch another male. He hadn't given two shits about her before... Why now?

"I promise you he is OK, he is resting in my room. Kane has arranged for one of the pack's warriors to stand guard, for peace of mind." she

continued. With a soft nod, he

leaned over and whispered intenet

ex's ears. His eyes, however

remained locked on me, and I didn't need Flint's hearing to know what he was saying.

I had my wolf!
