“Charlotte!” I whispered, my mind spinning, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Tears streamed down my face unchecked, as I struggled to process the shock and agony coursing through me. Behind me, I could hear my father’s voice, thick with concern and confusion as he screamed at Adam and Liam for answers. 

Answers they were not giving, not until I gave them the say–so. Something I had to respect. 

“Kane, what happened? Where’s Charlotte?” His questions washed over me like distant waves, barely registering in my mind. How could I explain something I didn’t even understand myself? 

“I don’t know,” I managed to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper. 

“How can you not know? What the hell has been going on in here!” He seethed, and I knew without looking he was referring to Anthony battered and beaten on the 

floor in restraints while Mike hovered over him like a vulture. 

“Pops, please!” The words felt hollow, empty as if spoken by someone else entirely. My father’s footsteps drew nearer, his presence a comforting weight on my back, but even his strength couldn’t dispel the darkness that had settled over me. 

“Kane,” my father said again, his voice gentle but insistent. “You have to tell me what happened. We need to find her.” I shook my head, the movement slow and 

numb. 

“I don’t know,” I repeated, the words tasting bitter on my tongue. “I don’t know where she has gone, or who took her. All I know is that she’s gone, and I couldn’t stop it.” A partial lie, I knew the demon took her, but who he truly was, where he

had taken her and why, I didn’t know. My father’s hand came to rest on my shoulder, 

a silent gesture of support. 

“We’ll find her, son,” he said, his voice firm with resolve. “No matter what it takes, we’ll bring her back.” But even as he spoke, doubt gnawed at the edges of my mind. What if we were already too late? What if Charlotte was gone forever, lost to some unseen enemy lurking in the shadows? The thought was almost too much to bear, a weight pressing down on my chest until I could scarcely breathe. 

“Knox!” I breathed, needing my brother and the bond we shared. I closed my eyes, willing the tears to stop, willing the pain to fade away. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t escape the overwhelming sense of loss that consumed me. 

“Careful Kane.” My father whispered, squeezing my shoulder. “He is unpredictable.” Meeting my father’s pained eyes I shook my head slowly, he had never liked Knox’s wolf, even before last night and we both knew why and it had nothing to do with his predictability and everything to do with the fact that if he so chose too he could take the pack and my father’s title without breaking so much as a sweat. Something he had proven last night. But what my Father failed to see in his own messed up mind was that Havoc adored our father, we both did. 

“Havoc is ok!” I declared. “Knox has control of him.” 

“That was before Charlotte was taken.” Liam interjected unhelpfully. My lips pulled into a firm line as anger ate at my gut. 

“Do you see him trashing the room? Losing his shit? Destroying you all? No! Knox has control. I trust my brother and I trust Havoc. I need them!” I barked out my voice breaking. Then, from somewhere behind me, I heard the unmistakable sound of Havoc approaching. Tension crackled in the air, thick and suffocating, as everyone held their breath, waiting for Havoc’s response. 

Looking back into the open space I sucked down a breath feeling Havoc plop down beside me the floor shaking under his massive form but I couldn’t tear my gaze away from the spot where Charlotte had disappeared, couldn’t bring myself to face whatever horrors were swirling in Havoc’s eyes. Silence was the best I could do. Havocs‘ presence was a silent comfort amidst the chaos of my emotions.

“Charlotte is out there somewhere, alone and afraid, and I am powerless to save her.” I said coldly, sucking down the sob that threatened to escape my throat. Havoc’s fur ruffled as he threw his head back and let out a gut–wrenching howl that broke my heart further. 

“Chase is with her, he won’t let anything happen to her. He will die before that filth touches her.” Adam announced with a firmness I almost believed. As I stood there, lost in my grief, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was just the beginning of something far darker and more sinister than any of us could have ever imagined. 

“Havoc, I need Knox.” I sighed resting my head on Havoc’s large shoulder. “I promise I will call for you when I have answers, I will need you to rip the bastard apart!” I admitted as I looked up into the red eyes of Havoc. An understanding passed between us as he moved to the back of the room to change. Pulling my eyes from the spot, surrendering myself to the knowledge that Charlotte was not returning, I met the concerned eyes of my father. Adam and Liam stood close by while Sebastian watched from the doorway a silent observer of the chaos. 

“Son, I can’t help you if you don’t let me in and tell me what the fuck is going on. Starting with why my Beta is chained like a dog.” My father breathed, stepping towards where Anthony sat, gagged and bound. 

“I wouldn’t,” I warned my father, Havoc’s low growl mirroring my own concerns and getting my father’s attention. 

“He is a traitor.” Liam declared, unbothered by the growing tension, the fact he was not family or part of this pack made it easier for him to deliver the news, he wasn’t concerned for my father’s feelings or his reputation. 

“What? Have you all lost your minds?” My father scoffed, taking a step closer to his Beta and oldest friend. 

“It is true, Anthony is a traitor,” Adam stated bluntly, his voice carrying the weight of undeniable truth, the words hung in the air, a damning verdict that seemed to echo through the room.
