Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Knox POV

Before I could defend myself, our father stepped forward, his presence a calming force in the midst of the storm.

"Kane, please," he sighed, his voice gentle but firm. "This isn't helping anyone. We need to focus on finding a solution, not assigning blame."

"No, pops. He is right!" I admitted, feeling my heart sink. "I chose wrong, this whole cluster fuck of a situation is my fault. If I hadn't let that little cunt get to me." I seethed looking over at Mike as he sat on the ground beside Anthony, looking too smug for my liking. "Havoc wouldn't have felt the need to act like a feral beast and this shit would never have happened."

"He would have found a way." Adam piped up from the corner of the room, reminding me he was there. "From what Anthony here has said, he had this shit planned for a while."

"And let's not pretend the dickweed doesn't have a beating coming." Liam interjected smirking down at Mike before kicking his foot to get his attention.

"The day is still young!" Adam mused softly, and under any other circumstances, I would have smiled.

"But if I could have controlled my temper, then maybe Pops wouldn't have gotten hurt, maybe things would have been different and that demon scum wouldn't have convinced me it was my fault that Pops had been slaughtered! I wouldn't have been desperate to top myself and I wouldn't have put my girl at risk."

"Or the pups." Kane added, his tone softer this time.

"I didn't know about that; if I had... Fuck Kane!" I breathed a sob escaping my throat. "What have I done!"
