Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem)

arrived

home.

So I was pleased when I walked in to see both her father and Mike facing the opposite way. I leaned against the wall silently, my fingernails digging into my palm to keep myself centred at the sight of the bastards I suspected had caused every bit of chaos since I had "Heyyy!" Charlotte announced, bouncing over to Adam like they were damn BFFs.

"So much for staying quiet and by Knox's side!" I growled through the link. her eyes flicked to mine discreetly.novelbin

"Thanks for babysitting." She smiled up at Adam, who nodded at her with a grin.

"Did you get my shirt?" Chase asked, and Knox's face palmed, offering an apologetic smile.

"Fuck man, I am gonna have to walk through your pack house looking like a serial killer."

"Which is different from every other day because?" Liam interjected, my lips splitting into a grin. "True." Chase shrugged, my eyes still on my girl.

"Sorry, that was my fault. Here I have one." She started to say, her hands sliding into the hoodie, and I knew from this angle that she was removing the shirt she wore under her hoodie to offer it to Chase. My whole body tensed against the wall, ready to rip it from her hands, but Knox was waiting, and the second her hand slipped back through the sleeve of her hoodie, T-shirt in hand, with a growl, he removed it.

"No offence." He nodded to Chase in that unapologetic way that let everyone in the room know he wasn't sorry. "But I don't want you smelling of my girl."

"SERIOUSLY!" She huffed, shaking her head, but Knox silenced her as he ripped his shirt off and handed it over to Chase. Her eyes were glued on his chest as the muscles moved and flexed while he slipped the shirt she had removed over his head.

"And you don't think she is a whore?" Anthony laughed. "Look at how she is looking at him. I can't believe that one," He paused to nod to Mike, who looked like he was at death's door", was stupid enough to let her go, given how much he likes to fuck, and she apparently will do anything for any guy who flashes her a smile."

My lips tightened, and it took every ounce of my strength not to respond, and given that Knox's jaw was twitching, I wasn't the only one. I watched, surprised, though, as Adam lowered in front of Anthony, whose hands were cuffed behind his back, his jacket hanging open, his shirt ripped, and long, deep gashes ran down his chest, but that wasn't what got my attention. It was the multiple carvings of a single permanently embedded in his chest...

WHORE

"You really are stupid!" Adam laughed, holding his hand out; Chase approached, placing a blade in his hand.

"Why isn't he healing?" Knox asked as he approached his hand securely around Charlotte.

"It's the cuffs," She smiled up at Knox. "They restrict his gifts; he is pretty much human!" She explained; my eyes observed her every move as I felt for her down the bond, realising with crystal clarity that she felt nothing, seeing her father carved up; she didn't feel sad, she didn't feel upset, she felt nothing.

"Knox." I warned my brother through mind link.

"I know, I can feel it. She's ok though." He assured me.

"Wanna go?" Adam asked, offering Charlotte the knife. You can write whatever you want! And when we are done, I am going to bathe him in salt water and wolfsbane, make sure those reminders stay with him forever." He explained, nodding to the blade he was offering her with a sinister grin that made my blood run cold.

"Knox!" I warned, my nails digging so hard into my hand I could feel the blood pooling in my palm. "Get her out of here!" I warned, knowing Rolo and I were ready to explode.
