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 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.

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.

wanting to say more than that. Any lingering desire to wack one out was now gone, the feeling replaced by a cold dread that settled in my stomach. The urgency to find Lottie consumed me, pushing all other thoughts aside. "I know what I smelled," Kane tried to reason with me, but I shrugged him off, not trusting myself
