Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 100: A Life For a Life!

Knox POV

“Are you sure you want to do this?” The stranger beside me asked, but I kept silent, looking down at the blood–red stain on the floor. I could sense him growing irritable. “Do you think having your brother and mate come to you is wise? You’re not in the right frame of mind, sport!” He added with a sigh.

“My father is a good man!” I confessed, unsure why it was important that this man heard me acknowledge that.

“Was, he WAS a good man, Knox. He is dead.” The stranger corrected me bluntly. I should be upset, and perhaps I was, but he was right. And I understood why he was angry; he had come here to see my father and catch up with a beer after a few years, and instead of getting that beer together, he would be attending my father’s funeral, instead.

“Yeah, I know.” I uttered sadly.

“And you know why he is dead?” He questioned me like I was a damn child!

“Because of me!” I repeated bluntly, my eyes trying to make heads or tails of the blood on the floor. He and I had been chatting for the last twenty minutes after he found me leaving Lottie’s room. He had gotten lost trying to find my father’s room; he wanted to pay his respects to my dad. But when he saw me, he fell into a panic, begging me not to hurt him.

Even Havoc felt so much remorse for how we were now viewed; he had vanished into himself. I couldn’t even sense him; he had dug himself that far into my mind. Once I got the stranger whose name I had forgotten to calm down, I asked. him why he had thought I would hurt him, and he told me.. the truth that no one else was telling me.

This was all my fault!

“Because of you!” He repeated, his hand sliding up my back reassuringly. “I know this is hard, Knox, but you have to take responsibility for this, or no one will heal and get the closure they need if you don’t own this and make it right.” He offered boldly.

“I don’t remember it.” I admitted with a deep sigh, the blood still making no
