Chapter 85
Chapter 85: Careful!
Kane POV
“Get the door.” I told Knox with a nod to the servant’s exit. I couldn’t keep my Father here much
longer. Someone was bound to walk in, and I wasn’t ready to answer the questions they would
have, much less deal with the pity cast in their eyes. I knew my pack would be grieving as much as
Knox and I soon enough. I didn’t know how much of that shit Mike had given everyone but going by
Lotties experience, I guess we had around another twenty minutes to get my Father somewhere
secure.
“Careful!” Knox growled from the doorway. As I gently lifted my Father into my arms. Fighting back
the tears that blurred my vision, I carried him from the ballroom and out of the servant’s quarters.
“Watch his head!” Knox roared when I knocked our Father’s head on a pir on the back stairs.
“Sorry, Pop’s.” I whispered, my eyes falling to his face, hoping that, by some miracle, the bump to
the head would wake him up. It wouldn’t. I knew that. He was gone. Grounding the lump back down
my throat, I met Knox’s gaze, knowing he, too, had a simr thought.
“Are we taking him to the infirmary with Bash?” Knox asked as we walked through the
passageways. Frowning, I looked at him as he held doors open for me and my precious cargo.
“No.” I answered cautiously. “It’s going to be busy in there; Charlotte has sent all the injured there; I
don’t want people gawping at him. I am taking him to his room.” I expressed, seeing Knox gnaw at
his lip, his eyes still red raw from crying. I sighed, knowing he disagreed with my decision.
“What is it?” I asked with a groan as we approached the elevator.
“Maybe there is something that Doc can do? We should take him to the

Chapter 65. Carefull
Infirmary! Everyone can wait till Father wakes up.” He tried to reason with me.
“People will bleed out while they wait!” Rolo interjected internally, and I closed my eyes in
frustration.
“What isn’t he getting?” Rolo added moodily, his mood infecting mine. I didn’t have the energy for
both of them right now. So I refused to answer my wolf for now because I knew that, unlike me,
Rolo was angry with Knox and his wolf, ming them wholly for the mess we were fleeing from.
“I know you are angry, but..” I tried to say, feeling his anger rise.
“No… I don’t understand why he had to let Mike bait him after you and I fought so hard to stay calm!
Goddess knows Mike threw everything at us while we waited for Charlotte to arrive, and it was Knox
who insisted we stay calm and not react..“Sucking down my moan, I knew where he wasing
from, but still, I didn’t want to have the discussion, not now. “Yet one snide remark from Mike and
Havoc goes berserk and…”
“I know.” I snapped, knowing Rolo was just warming up, and I was not ready for
this shit.
“But do you.. because you are treating him like a fucking child! You get this is his fault… Don’t
you?!”
“No, it was Mike’s!” I corrected my wolf, “You know better than anyone that Havoc isn’t just a normal
wolf! He is more beast than the rest of us. Knox tries fucking hard to keep him under control. This
wasn’t his fault!”
“Whatever you say!” Rolo growled and shut our link off. With a deep sigh, I shifted my Father’s
weight in my arms, Knox quickly moving in front of me to support Pops as I moved him carefully into
a more secure position as we stepped into the elevator.
“He weighs a ton!” I muttered.
“Kane..” Knox prodded, and I soughed, looking at him harshly, hating myself for it, but he was
clearly in denial I, and I didn’t have the patience or the time to ease

him into the reality we found ourselves in.
After all, how much clearer could I be? I stood in the servant elevator, naked, covered in my own
blood, holding the dead body of my Father like one might hold a sleeping child or sibling.. except my
Father wasn’t sleeping.. at least not one in which he would wake from.
“Knox.. He is dead! You get that, right Buddy?” I asked bluntly.
“But..”
“But
nothing, Knox, he is dead; I am sorry, brother, I am. I am not trying to be a dick, but you need to
ept that he is gone.” I dered with resolve, not wanting to deal with this on my own. I needed
him to help me, and he could only do that if he was living in the real world beside me.
“He just looks so peaceful! Like he is sleeping on the sofa after watching the match or on the
lounger in the garden with Ma. You know?”
“I know.. and I wish that were the case…”
“But it’s not!” Knox growled, mming his hand on the lift button, the doors slowly closing. I could
feel the guilt washing over him and suddenly understood, like Rolo, he was ming himself for our
Father’s death, and if he was just sleeping.. he wasn’t to me.. or at least not too much.
“This wasn’t your fault, Knox!” I offered, my eyes finding his in the steel cage.
“Did you see the way Ma reacted to me…“Knox growled, shaking his head violently, fear prickling
my neck as panic set in, not wanting Havoc to lose it again.
“Knox!” I warned as I squeezed my Father to me protectively. Hating that this
was my response to Knox’s mood.
“She literally couldn’t look at me, Kane! And when I touched her. Fuck! I felt it..”
“What?” I asked, knowing that whatever he was about to say was what was truly upsetting him.
Knox, for all the love he bore, our Father was always a Mumma’s

boy! He adored her, and she him. Her rejection, I knew, would hit him hard. But I also understood
Ma! I was having difficulty separating my emotions from this shit fest! But I desperately wanted to
believe Charlotte and have faith that the reason I held my Father’s dead body in my arms was not
because of my brother! Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
“She is repulsed by me, Kane!”
