Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Knox POV

"Why was Kane at risk?" Lottie asked cutting my father and I off from our side dispute,

"Because Twin brothers are usually rivals! At least in our world, you know that! Yet you two broke that mould you became tougher, stronger and fiercely protective of each other..." My father answered Lottie with his story, so certain he had done this for me, for Kane.. But I could see the truth, fuck I could smell the bullshit bleeding from his mouth.

"Even without your wolf, Knox." My mother cut in, earning a growl from my father to silence her.

"There was no way Kane would have accepted to lead, not unless you were at his side as his equal... He was already breaking with traditions by not wanting to succeed you but to add salt to the wound of those in the pack whose support he needed, for a wolfless..." "Worthless human." I growled.

"I never said worthless Knox. You, my boy, have many qualities; kindness, loyalty and an undeniable ability to read people and take no shit. You have always strived to prove yourself and as much as that is a quality we adore.. it would have been the packs downfall and yours and Kane's deaths

"This is insane. I groaned and swatted Lottie on the ass gently to get her to stand when she didn't. I sighed and sat back in the chair hanging my head over the edge so I didn't have to look at anyone.

"Knox, we love you." My mother purred nervously.

"Why didn't you wait, I could have gotten my wolf, I could have been a late bloomer.." "Maybe but.."

"But you never gave me a chance, you wrote me off, this son of yours, who you claim to be strong, courageous, loyal and a fighter... You wrote me off. You understand how your words all contraindicate your actions." I groaned, shaking my head. "If you loved me, you would have waited."

"Or at least told us." Kane pipped up. "I remember bits of getting my wolf and not once do I recall you sitting us down and explaining anything.. do you know what I do remember?" Kane asked his words harsh as he yed our parents.

"The pain Knox went through on his first shift... I have seen so many other wolves go through the first, and I remember mine.. it was nothing like a fucking walk in the park compared to what Knox went through you must have known he would suffer when you allowed that demon to inhabit inside of him." Kane seethed.

Lottie perched in my lap,
