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."

"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.

"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,

know about it. Kane, did you know?" I asked, looking over at my brother with accusing eyes.

the rest of us, she got sick all the time, was never in 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 she remained firmly planted on the edge of my knees so she could address both

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

but the pack refused to accept her as one of theirs." My mother backed Lottie up. Running my hand through my messy bedhair I sighed and looked at Kane whose eyes were firmly locked on My father's. "Why didn't you do something to protect her?" I asked our father the question Kane unquestionably

knew how that felt.. Not only for Odette but for her parents..." Kane seethed. "And yet you condemned
