Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem) by Pippa Moon novel Chapter 219

"You are worried that you will not be able to wait, right? That the little game we are playing with The Moon Goddess will take too long and that seeing them with the girl will be too much for you to bear?" Slowly breathing in, I wondered for a second how he knew, but then as he arched his brow I remembered he could read my damn mind.

"What if, in that time, that they are not really mated, they find their second chance mate or actually fall for Connie and take her as their chosen." I explained, my lips trembling as tears threatened to rain down my cheeks. "It's not just me at risk of losing them that scares me, it's..." My hand lowered to my stomach and I nodded gently.

"It's the consequences that may follow. Who will protect them against Sebastian? Against Connie? Against themselves?" I admitted. Fluffy, sensing my distress, pushed between me and a now kneeling Astaroth, his eyes locked on mine with what looked like a shred of decency.

"Me." He nodded. "I will be close by, and no one; and I mean no one will hurt your babies, you or take what is yours." He nodded, the tone of his voice telling me he was deadly serious, and given the howl that Fluffy let out as he rested his head on my lap, he too.. Was on team Lottie.

Was it wrong that I believed him?

Was I stupid to trust a demon?

Was this a mistake?

I guess there was only one way to find out, and my options were running out...

Looking at my mates, I ran my tongue over my lips and nodded.

"Ok.."

"Is there a way... anyway... that she can remember... somehow... that she can remember that we love her, beyond what we ever thought possible? Is there a way to ease the pain for her?" Kane asked, his eyes on Astaroths, his lips pulled tight as he tried not to cry with me.
