Knox POV

“What is taking them so long!” I barked, growing irritated. Running my free hand down my face, I sighed, knowing I would lose my nerve if they took much longer.

“I don’t know, but I would guess they are trying to think of something to say to you.” The stranger offered from the corner of the room; he had suggested he hide so that I had a witness and support in case they tried to have me overpowered and silenced. He just wanted to help me, and I was grateful.

“What do you mean?“I asked, spinning to look into the darkness, but I couldn’t

see him any more.

“I mean, you sounded upset; they know you are suffering after what you did. I imagine they are trying to find ways to calm you down and lies they can tell you to ensure you stay subdued.” He expressed into the empty ballroom, his voice bouncing off the high ceilings.

“Oh.” I whispered. I wanted to take responsibility for my actions; I needed to. I got that, or they would spend the rest of their lives trying to live down my mistake. Or the guilt of having to kill me! Looking down at the blood–stained tiles, I sensed that familiar lump form in my throat and wondered how I had let everything get so wrong. I allowed my eyes to drift up the stairs that Lottie and I had less than an hour ago walked down together, hand in hand. Ready to present her as my mate, my world and the pack’s Luna.

“Knox?” A precious voice echoed through the room, my whole body suddenly easing like her tranquil voice had the ability to soothe me.

“Hmm,” I replied, refusing to pull my eyes from the stairs. I could sense her approaching and knew she wasn’t alone. Kane was with her. I could feel the apprehension rolling off him in thick waves and knew it was because he was scared I was going to hurt her, too. My friend was right about him. He no longer trusted mel I got that; I no longer trusted myself.
