Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Knox POV

"If people found out you didn't have a wolf, they would have picked you off. Knox, you have to see that. You would have been considered feeble... People would have believed you to be your father's weakness." My mother tried to explain.

"Seriously she is making no sense, there was no way to know if my wolf wouldn't have just come later. I could have just been a late bloomer." I muttered to Kane through mindlink, who grunted in reply, lifting my eyes to my brothers. I saw rage wash over him and knew he was thinking the same thing as me.

"Laura." I started to say, deciding mother wasn't a title she deserved right now. Seeing discomfort wash over her face I felt a tiny bit of satisfaction creep into my mind. I didn't like hurting her, I didn't want to hurt anyone but the pain eating at my heart had my whole chest tight and she needed to feel an ounce of that misery. I opened my mouth to tell her how stupid she sounded but she held her hand up to pause my reply so she could continue.

"We NEVER saw you as weak! You were always a fighter, determined to thrive in this harsh world you had been born into. Plus, Kane was always at your side, ready to protect you." She finished, I wish I could have believed her but seriously it all felt too much like bullshit for me.

"It's just a wolf." I laughed, trying hard not to roll my eyes. I had heard of wolfless wolves beating the odds and making something of themselves.

"No. It's not." Charlotte cut me off. "Do you both remember Odette?" She asked looking over her shoulder at Kane and then back to me, her eyes shining with a story.

"Short girl, red hair?" I asked, gaining a nod from my mother.

"No." Kane barked. "Why is it important now?"

"She never got her wolf." Lottie explained,

over at my brother with accusing eyes. My brother shook his head his features hard as he watched Lottie and my mother. Something evidently bothering

school and when she was she looked ill!" Lottie began to say, sitting back in my seat, my hands slid up my girl's thighs to pull her closer but

gained weight or muscle, she just wasted away. She looked anorexic." She recalled sadness filling her eyes. "And as much as I love this pack, they were not kind to her, they shunned her. Had her do all the crappy jobs that not even the Omegas would do. Her life was rough, and so was anyone else's who may have tried to intervene." This was insane. We were a pack, we stuck together and supported each other, so the fact one of our own was being treated so coldly rubbed

bedhair I sighed and looked at Kane whose eyes were firmly locked on My father's. "Why didn't you do something to

her parents..." Kane seethed. "And yet you
