Chapter 58 Jake

• The silence in the room was deafening, and while it was only for a minute or so it seemed to last for an eternity. I initially didn’t know what I was walking into, I was literally grabbing a coffee to try to wake myself up after hardly any sleep last night thanks to our night out and the antics that followed, thinking I’d walked into Knox welcoming Indie to our pack and asking what her and Dan wanted to do, but clearly there was more plans to his conversation than I realised and it was a lot heavier and more difficult than both Dan and I anticipated.
• I know Knox as well as I know myself, and know he wouldn’t talk about Cleo to just anyone, that was a dark time in all of our lives but it nearly broke Knox, and while we were sat waiting to hear from Gabe last night we had pondered if the protectiveness Knox and his wolf Knight had displayed toward Lilah was due to similarities between her and Cleo.
• Knox is a protective Alpha anyway to all in our pack, and those that need help, probably to a fault sometimes, so he tried to dismiss most of his actions as that, but part of me still thinks it’s because he is attracted to her too but hearing the things I’d just heard and knowing what Gabe had told me it makes sense that Knox is wanting to help Lilah to make up for not being able to help his sister. To make peace within himself for failing his sister but don’t think I dare say that to him.
