Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem)

Kane POV

I stood there, frozen, my eyes fixed on the empty space where the portal had closed just moments ago. My girl had been taken from me, ripped away by some demon with unknown powers.

"Charlotte!" I whispered, my mind spinning, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Tears streamed down my face unchecked, as I struggled to process the shock and agony coursing through me. Behind me, I could hear my father's voice, thick with concern and confusion as he screamed at Adam and Liam for answers. Answers they were not giving, not until I gave them the say-so. Something I had to respect.

"Kane, what happened? Where's Charlotte?" His questions washed over me like distant waves, barely registering in my mind. How could I explain something I didn't even understand myself?

"I don't know," I managed to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper.

"How can you not know? What the hell has been going on in here!" He seethed, and I knew without looking he was referring to Anthony battered and beaten on the floor in restraints while Mike hovered over him like a vulture.

"Pops, please!" The words felt hollow, empty as if spoken by someone else entirely. My father's footsteps drew nearer, his presence a comforting weight on my back, but even his strength couldn't dispel the darkness that had settled over me.

"Kane," my father said again, his voice gentle but insistent. "You have to tell me what happened. We need to find her." I shook my head, the movement slow and numb.

"I don't know," I repeated, the words tasting bitter on my tongue. "I don't know where she has gone, or who took her. All I know is that she's gone, and I couldn't stop it." A partial lie, I knew the demon took her, but who he truly was, where he had taken her and why, I didn't know. My father's hand came to rest on my shoulder, a silent gesture of support.

"We'll find her, son," he said, his voice firm with resolve. "No matter what it takes, we'll bring her back." But even as he spoke, doubt gnawed at the edges of my mind. What if we were already too late? What if Charlotte was gone forever, lost to some unseen enemy lurking in the shadows? The thought was almost too much to bear, a weight pressing down on my chest until I could scarcely breathe.

"Knox!" I breathed, needing my brother and the bond we shared. I closed my eyes, willing the tears to stop, willing the pain to fade away. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape the overwhelming sense of loss that consumed me.

"Careful Kane." My father whispered, squeezing my shoulder. "He is unpredictable." Meeting my father's pained eyes I shook my head slowly, he had never liked Knox's wolf, even before last night and we both knew why and it had nothing to do with his predictability and everything to do with the fact that if he so chose too he could take the pack and my father's title without breaking so much as a sweat. Something he had proven last night. But what my Father failed to see in his own messed up mind was that Havoc adored our father, we both did.novelbin

"Havoc is ok!" I declared. "Knox has control of him."

"That was before Charlotte was taken." Liam interjected unhelpfully. My lips pulled into a firm line as anger ate at my gut.

"Do you see him trashing the room? Losing his shit? Destroying you all? No! Knox has control. I trust my brother and I trust Havoc. I need them!" I barked out my voice breaking. Then, from somewhere behind me, I heard the unmistakable sound of Havoc approaching. Tension crackled in the air, thick and suffocating, as everyone held their breath, waiting for Havoc's response.

Looking back into the open space I sucked down a breath feeling Havoc plop down beside me the floor shaking under his massive form but I couldn't tear my gaze away from the spot where Charlotte had disappeared, couldn't bring myself to face whatever horrors were swirling in Havoc's eyes. Silence was the best I could do. Havocs' presence was a silent comfort amidst the chaos of my emotions.
