Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem) by Pippa Moon novel Chapter 258

Lottie POV

As my eyes met Adam's, I felt my body shrink, seeing his eyes were filled with anger and distress, and I knew it was because he was pained by the sight of me reduced to this 'state', struggling on the floor amidst the chaos. That he liked to remark was beneath 'us'.

"You are bleeding," Adam seethed, his gaze shifting from my knees to Havoc.

"Shit." I muttered seeing Adam's eyes cast in a crazed rage.

"Char, you need to help." Sage warned as the seriousness of the situation dawned on me: All hell was about to break loose.

"No." I whispered, panicked, frantically looking for Chase as I tried to find the words to explain that it wasn't Havoc's fault.

"Adam.. It's not what you think.." I started to say, but he pinned me with a stare that had ice settling at the base of my spine and my words evaporating from my throat.

"It never is," he scoffed before turning his attention back to Knox's dangerous wolf. "Happy now? Now you have brought her down to the gutter with you?" Adam roared, his tone riddled with contempt.

"Adam." Chase snapped from beside me, but it was too late; his words stung, and my heart sank as the embarrassment of everyone hearing this accusation added to my distress.

"It's Havoc, Adam." Chase tried to reason with my angry older brother while stepping closer to me, his eyes frantically looking for something. "So how about we calm our tits, bro, or we are all mincemeat" I heard Chase warn as he stepped closer to Adam while nodding for someone to approach, his hands raised in a calming gesture, his expression lined with apprehension.

"Better late than never." I yelped, unable to hide my irritation at Chase, who was finally stepping in to help. Although, if I was honest, it seemed he was always there to save the damn day: one way or another. Chase's eyes shot to mine; his brows lifted in a playful challenge that quickly vanished when an almighty roar bounced through the air, reminding him of the problem at hand.

"Hey, buddy, sorry, my brother is just a grumpy fucker. He needs his beauty sleep," Chase offered to Havoc, who was eyeing the three like a predator sizing up prey. Suddenly, I saw everything unfold in slow motion.

"Not buddy." Havoc snarled as he moved closer to me.

"Na, you're right, you're not. You're nothing." Adam seethed, his words catching Havoc off guard; I noted seeing Knox's eyes that shone with Havoc's presence fill with anger. A roar exploded from Knox's lungs. In an instant, Knox began to shift into his werewolf form—Havoc.

"The shithead is massive; he is as big as a fucking dinosaur." I gasped as Knox's bones twisted to adjust to Havoc's form. It had been months since I had seen Havoc in all his glory, and I had forgotten what a scary fucker he was.
