Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem) by Pippa Moon novel Chapter 212

Lottie POV

Standing outside Knox's bedroom, my heart pounded with a mix of dread and disbelief. I pressed my ear against the door further, desperate to discover that my mind was playing tricks on me and that my mates were not planning to fucking lie to me and force this bullshit upon me.

"You know I have super hearing, right?" Sage asked, her voice infuriated, but I knew it was not aimed at me.

"I know." I muttered back to my wolf harshly. "Now shhh."

"Then why are you straining to catch every word?" She grunted "Instead of going in there, and letting me bite their cocks off. Let's see Connie want a piece of them when she realises I have given them their own kind of designer vagina." Sage demanded angrily. Sighing, I shook my head, to silence her.

"Not helpful." I remarked, her scoff, angering me further. "Because, honestly, I am hoping you have heard wrong." I whispered back as Knox and Kane's voices lowered to a barely audible hush, their conversation punctuated with a conspiratorial tone that made my stomach churn.

"We have to do it, Knox," Kane tried to explain to a rather pissed of Knox. "If we can fool the Moon Goddess, maybe we can buy some time and work out a way to fix this mess."

"I hate this plan, Kane. Cheating on Lottie, even pretending to... it feels wrong. But if it’s the only way..." Knox moaned heavily.

"Bastards." I roared inwardly to Sage. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. My mates, the two people I trusted most, were plotting behind my back to deceive the Moon Goddess AND me.

"Designer vagina time?" Sage asked hopefully, as I rested my hand on my stomach and processed all I was hearing. Their betrayal cut deep, not just because they were planning to 'cheat', but because they hadn’t trusted me enough to include me in their plans.

"No." I whispered as anger surged through me, hotter and more intense than the hurt I had ever felt. I had always expected to be hurt or betrayed by my father or Mike, but it coming from Knox and Kane was soul-crushing. Without thinking, I pushed the door open, fury propelling me forward.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I roared, my eyes scanning the room, half expecting to find Connie already in here lapping up the attention.

Both Knox and Kane turned to face me, shock and guilt written all over their faces. Knox's mouth fell open as if he wanted to speak, but no words came. Instead, his eyes searched mine.

"Charlotte!" Kane uttered, his eyes widened in disbelief, his lips tight with what I could feel was vexation. Not at me but at the situation. Well, fuck him and the situation. I could see the panic in their expressions as they realised I had heard everything.

"Let me explain, angel." Knox started to say, but I shook my head and stepped into the room, letting the door slam shut behind me with a resounding thud.
