Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 0307

Knox's POV

"We don't know. Kane and I were getting into it in the hallway. I left her in bed; when I came into her room, she was gone..."

I should want to ask what they were getting into it over, I should care, but I couldn't give a damn. It was most likely about Lottie, and if it wasn't, then boo-hoo. I hope he didn't get his way and Adam gave him the same beating he gave me. "Knox," Havoc barked in my mind. As much as I knew my wolf supported me, I also knew he missed Rolo and Kane. Again, I should care... Again, I don't.

"There was..." Kane started to say, but I didn't want to hear from him right now. Or ever.

"Knox," Havoc moaned again, and I couldn't suppress the eye roll even if I tried.

"I didn't ask you," I hissed, giving my brother a stern look as he steadied himself. With a sigh, his lips closed, but unfortunately, I knew it wouldn't be forever.

"A scent..." He continued, not listening to me like the prick he was, proving my point. Kane couldn't help but control things-people, situations, the world.

"It was Anthony's," Kane uttered, making me snort. Now, he was seriously scraping the bottom of the barrel to get my attention. Pausing for a moment, I considered that maybe Lottie wasn't missing at all, and this was a ruse of Kane's to get noticed. "Impossible," I laughed, quickly pulling on a pair of pants and shoving my feet into my crocs. Fashion could wait; what I needed now was quick and easy.

"He is telling the truth. I can tell," Havoc confirmed, making me feel a shred of guilt for doubting Kane would toy with Lottie's safety like that.
