Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 98: Is Not My Mate!

Kane POV

Walking into my room, I felt the full force of the day crash down on me as the door closed behind me, my legs buckled, and I slid down the door to my ass, knees tucked up against me as I surrendered, allowing the emotions I had been holding at bay wipe out any barriers I had up.

The tears came quick and fast in heart–wrenching sobs that made me feel like a child. But fuck, the idea of not having my father around any more crippled me; I had lost so much time travelling when I could have been here with him. he didn’t even know half of what I had accomplished; Knox had wanted to call with every joyful detail but me being the control freak I wanted to tell him and watch the pride wash over his face!

Yet when I got home for Lilly’s bug day, I hadn’t had the time to tell him; I had returned and fell into bed with Charlotte, not that I blamed her, of course, but fuck, this sucked! I had hoped to feel my dad’s arms around me as he told me he was proud of me and the things I had done for this pack, the lessons I had learned. I knew it was selfish, but I longed for the day I would hear him tell me he trusted me to lead.

My mother was suffering, Knox was fuck knows where, and I was heard sobbing like a child because I would never get to hear my father tell me how proud of me he was and how much he trusted me to lead in his footsteps. But those words meant more to me than he would ever know! Then anyone would ever know! I had idolised my father; we may have disagreed the last few days over Charlotte, but I could not think of a better man. And now he is gone!

“He WAS proud,” Rolo offered, and I shook my head free of my wolf’s words because as much as I knew he was trying to help, he didn’t know that! It was an assumption and not the same.

“Kane?” Charlotte’s sweet voice swept through my mind, and I felt my heart.
