Chapter 77: WHO?

“You don’t remember?” Luna asked, her voice cracking from the weight of her heartbreak. I couldn’t imagine what she was going through right now! The fear I had felt at the idea of losing Kane would forever be imprinted on my soul! Swallowing the lump in my throat, I looked at her and shook my head in warning.

“We need to be careful how we tell him!” I warned her through the link I had

I created for Kane, his mother and I. I watched her eyes dart past Knox to me before she pulled her hands out of Knox’s hold. Clearly, it wasn’t just looking at him that she found challenging; his touch seemed to cause her discomfort physically. She blamed her son for her mate’s death; that much was clear to Kane and me.

“Ma.” Kane called from the floor, but she shook her head and stepped away, turning her back on Knox, his eyes luckily still locked on his mother; I could sense his heart breaking in his chest and knew Kane would be feeling that too. I felt Kane tense beside me, pain washing through our bond and not just the physical kind.

“I need to tell him.” Kane shot through the link, his voice ragged from his lungs healing.

“No!” Luna gasped through the bond, her shoulders stiff. “Havoc will finish what he started with you!” she added, and I could hear the fear in Luna’s voice; she had lost her mate and almost a son tonight; she couldn’t bear the idea of losing anyone

“No, he won’t,” Kane argued, but I had to admit, I agreed with his mother. Looking down at him with sorrow etched in my eyes, I nodded to him. He needed to be told, and now, because if he turned and looked over to the side, he was going to see his father’s dead body in a pool of blood. Leaning over, I quickly pecked Kane’s lips and pushed him back to the ground as I stood.

“I need to do it! Havoc won’t hurt me; we have all seen that.” I announced through the link, and despite the way Luna spun and glared at me, I knew she understood. “But I need you to get everyone out, Luna..

“I am not the Luna any more; my mate is dead!” She shot through the link, and my eyes filled with the tears I was desperately fighting. I wanted to tell her that she would always be my Luna, the most important woman in my life, but I knew that was not what she wanted nor needed to hear right now. Instead, I nodded to her, unable to bring myself to say any words.

“Can you get everyone out?”

“I am not leaving,” Kane growled, interrupting me; I turned to smirk at him, knowing he would be healed soon anyway.

“No offence, big guy, but no one is strong enough to haul your ass up! So I expected as much!” Winking, I blew him a kiss while we both watched Luna walk away from Knox without a word or backwards glance.

“Will someone tell me what is going on!” Knox roared, hurt dashed through the bond, and I sighed just as Knox turned to meet my eyes.

“Hey, baby!” I cooed, coming to stand beside him, wrapping my arms around his waist and turning him to face me to ensure his eyes remained on mine and not Luna’s as she passed by her mate’s body.

“Who was it, Lottie? Tell me, please! Tell me it wasn’t Lilly?” He whispered, shaking his head free of the tears I watched pool on his beautiful dark lashes that seemed never–ending in length and thickness. Lashes most women would die for!

“No, not Lilly.” I answered, my eyes scanning his face for any trace of a memory hiding under the surface, but I could sense through the bond that he was sincere. He had no recollection. Swallowing my nerves, I slid my hand up his back and pressed myself to him, wanting him to feel me and know I wasn’t going anywhere.

“No one blames you!” I lied. His eyes shot to mine, clearly sensing my fib.

“WHO?!” He demanded, his arms sliding over mine to try to disconnect us, but I locked my hands around his back. Seeing the gold swim in his eyes, I paused till the golden fire settled.

“Havoc already knows; he won’t be a problem,” Sage announced, and I felt my whole body relax, knowing the biggest hurdle was gone.

“Your father!” I nodded, watching as his lips repeated my words, his eyes wide in shock.

“No! Angel… I am serious.”

“Knox, so am I… I need you to listen to me… Your father has been hurt; it was fatal. I am sorry!”

“No!” He seethed, gripping my arms and pushing me off him with a force I knew was merely frustration, not anger. “Kane?” He asked, stepping around me and towards his brother. Anxiety rushed through me, and I rushed over to Kane; stepping between them, I held my hand in front of me, planting it firmly against Knox’s chest, a clear message bouncing between us.

“No closer!” I hated that I didn’t trust him to be alone with Kane, but until I knew how this was going to play out, I couldn’t take the chance. My pack needed Kane more than ever now, just like I did.

“I am not going to hurt him.” He spat, his eyes watching me, waiting for me to drop my hand. I didn’t! I couldn’t!

“She is telling you the truth,” Kane whispered, and I watched from the corner of my eye as he pulled himself up, naked and unashamed; his side had semi–healed, and he was okay.. although not okay enough to go a second round with Havoc.

Seeing him hold his hand out to Knox for support now he was vertical, I lowered my hand and sighed, letting Knox pass and approach his brother. I had to trust Sage that Havoc was not going to show up again and finish what he started with Kane. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“What did Havoc say?” I asked Sage as Knox slid his arm under Kane’s arm and around his back, holding him up. The two looked like brothers who had gotten in a scuffle at football, not almost fought to the death over… me!

“Sorry, mostly!” She muttered. “And that he meant to kill Sebastian.. not Alpha!”
