Knox POV
My senses had been dulled as I remained trapped within an icy prison that was the magic weavedby the Moon goddess. Incapable of moving an inch, yet in a cruel twist, I could hear and seeeverything; never had I felt so vulnerable.
“Kane?” I asked, trying to reach my brother through mind link, needing someone as I watched thedrama unfold. Lottie, my precious mate, stood at the mercy of the moon goddess, her heart tornbetween impossible choices. The air crackled with tension, thick with the weight of the goddess’sdemands.
“I am here!” Kane fumed, and I could feel the anger wash through the bond that rivalled anything Ihad felt when Havoc had taken hold.
“What are we going to do?” I asked my brother, hoping he would have an answer or plan becausethe revelation that Lottie carried our children should have filled me with boundless joy, yet a stormof conflicting emotions overshadowed it.
Kane and I had already discussed this possibility when he came to my room the night of Lillie’smating ceremony. Our father had refused to let us be together, so we took drastic measures toensure we got to keep Lottle out of Mike’s hands and with
US..
We had one aim and plan in mind over the next three days. Lottle would only leave my bed once wewere certain we had done everything possible to bind her to us. Including the possibility of filling herwith a child, we knew there was a risk. involved and had agreed that if we managed it and she fell
pregnant with one brother’s seed, the other would not resent the child or Lottle but love themeternally.

“I don’t know, Knox.” He whispered. “When she told me about this offer, I never thought it possiblethat the price would be so high; I would never have told her to agree. I am sorry, Knox!”
“You knew?” I hissed; anger burned within me like a smouldering ember, fueled by the knowledgethat they had kept me in the dark about Lottie’s dealings with the moon goddess. “How could youmake decisions like this without consulting me? Without considering the consequences?” I roaredinwardly, and given the way Lottie’s eyes met ours, she could sense the turmoil pulling me apart.
“It was to save you from yourself, Knox! You were.. shit, brother! I have never been so scared oflosing you!” Kane offered,
“So you sacrificed HER and OUR children!” I bellowed through his mind.
“I am sorry, Knox!” But even I heard how hollow it sounded. My anger, although tangible, was notsolely aimed at my brother or Lottie; I understood why they had done what they had; it was aimed atanother!
“The moon goddess“, Havoc growled, his presence a welcomed one; after all we had been through,I could sense the calm washing through him and knew that whatever the Moon Goddess had donehad saved him from his self–destruction. Even if she, a figure of unfathomable power andcapricious whims, was currently the focus of my wrath.
“Stay calm, buddy!” Kane whispered to Havoc, who I could sense was seething with fury at heraudacity and the cruelty of her demands; a sudden thought crossed my mind.
“Did you know she was pregnant too?” I asked Kane, wondering how far their
secrets ran.
“No!” He resolved himself, and despite my anger, I believed him.
“How dare she threaten our happiness, our family, as if we were nothing more than pawns in hercosmic game?” Kane added, his rage boiling further. But amidst the anger and despair, a flickerof hope emerged, hearing Lottie beg for us to be unfrozen. The frozen stillness shattered as themoon goddess reluctantly released

“Angel” I gushed and surged forward, my heart pounding as I reached for Lottie. Our lips met in adesperate kiss, tears mingling with the fierce intensity of our embrace. She and our children weresafe for now because I would ensure it, and
that was all that mattered.
“I am sorry, I am sorry!” Lottie sobbed, her fingers clawing at me to pull me closer. The way herbody trembled infuriated me. Feeling Kane beside us, I watched him lean down, his lips pressedagainst her temple tenderly.
“You do not have anything to be sorry for!” He soothed, but the storm crashing
inside him was clear.
“But..”
“No!” I demanded, hating that she and Kane had made this choice without consulting me becauseas torn up as I was about my father, I would never have. taken a gamble with our future like this, noteven in my misery. She was my solace and light in the darkness, something I needed desperately.“You are not to blame.”
“Either of you!” I sighed, meeting my brother’s gaze, my fingers squeezing his hand, feeling himready to explode with outrage.
“We will find a way..” Lottie sobbed breathlessly… “Because..” Unable to finish her sentence, herhand slipped to her stomach, and I watched Kane’s eyes drop, a smile slipping across his lips as heeyed her with devotion. My hand covered hers, wishing this moment… the moment we discoveredthat we were to be parents, that our love had made life… was so very different.
Kane’s hand slid to ours, and I felt the lump form in my throat, knowing precisely what Kane wasconsidering because I, too, was thinking the same.
‘Could we give up Lottle to save our children?‘ It was an impossible request and one that shouldnever have been made.

“Sweet Charlotte.” she whispered, “The terms of our cosmic bargain can not be ignored. I returnedyour mate’s father, resurrected him from the realm of the dead, and you knew there would be aprice demanded of you,” The moon goddess spewed, and I wanted nothing more than to smack herin that white and pink mouth of hers because her voice so sweet yet her words delivered misery.
Our hands remained linked over Lottie’s stomach; a hush lingered in the pure light of the chamberwe stood in. Selene raised her hand, a gesture commanding attention.
“Charlotte,” her voice echoed like a haunting melody, “You must make a choice. Sacrifice the matebond with Knox and Kane, or…” A shiver ran down my spine, my heart pounding with trepidation.The moon goddess paused, letting the suspense thicken. “Or sacrifice the twins growing withinyou.”
Lottie’s breath hitched, her gaze shifting between us, begging us to help her in an impossibledecision. Kane’s eyes met Lottie’s, then mine, the three of us nodding, an unspoken agreementpassing between us as he squeezed my shoulder, a silent promise of solidarity.
“We will not pick!” Kane declared, his voice unwavering. He refused to sacrifice our mate or ourprecious children. A sentiment I agreed with, relieved that, for once, we had decided as a team, aunit!
A family!
