Chapter 85 Buckle Up, Buttercup!

• Knox POV
• "Knox.. she just needs time." Kane tried to say, but even I heard how weak it sounded. Looking down at my Father, I tried to imagine just for a moment what Ma was going through; the man in my brother's arms wasn't just our Father. He was her mate! And he was gone... potentially at the hands of their son! Me! The pain must be unbearable... I understood why she couldn't stand to look at me!
• I pulled my eyes from my Father's empty gaze, unable to handle the feel of my brother's pitty-filled eyes on me a second longer; I didn't deserve their pity! Instead, I looked ahead into the glass panel on the wall, seeing my own reflection, naked and vulnerable, but my skin was free of marks and bruises, clear of any signs of the devastation my brother bore; the only similar thing we shared was the marks we accepted from Lottie.
