"Anthony is your mate's father, for Luna's sake, Kane! He should be respected if nothing else. There's no excuse for this! You see that, right Knox?" Her eyes darted around the room, noticing the absence of our mate. "Where's Lottie?" she demanded, her concern for her daughter-in-law evident in her voice.
"Being a slut!" Lilly interjected far too happily, my hand that rested on my brother's knee tightened, feeling the muscles in his legs tighten with anger.
"Lilliah!" Ma snapped, her tone sharp and harsh. "Put your bitch back in her box please, and control your jealousy! It's hardly very becoming for a princess, is it!" My mother scolded her daughter, my lips curling, seeing my little sister's features darken with embarrassment before her stubbornness won out and she continued.
"I am not jealous! And I am not lying! She had another man in her room. A blonde freak! He barged into my room this morning demanding Char's stuff. He was an as*hole. When I confronted him and Char he slammed the door in my face."
"Chase? Blonde hair, baby blues, about so tall?" Liam laughed, motioning above his head.
"Yes! That's him!" Lilly snorted, turning to face the table again, her arms crossed over her chest, her attitude palpable.
"Trust me, Chase ain't sleeping with Charlotte." Liam contradicted, his eyes locked on Sebastian even as he addressed Lilly, making me wonder what had happened between the three of them on his way to the table to sour his mood.
"How do you know that? I guess he was far too handsome for Char, I mean, she always was the runt of the litter." Lilly laughed, sitting back in her chair.
"Careful sister!" I warned. I could feel Knox through our bond, his anger almost boiling over, threatening to spill into the room in the form of bedlam. But I had a feeling Liam was about to put Lilly and her mate in their place and voice the words I had suspected, since witnessing the way they had taken to our little mate.
"They are no threat, and our mate is no slut." Knox slowly replied, his words filled with malice even as he fought to keep his anger in check.
