Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem) by Pippa Moon novel Chapter 160

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.

"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.
