NovelBookChapter 0391 - Knox ~ I close the office door behind us, Hector already on the phone to Ezra ordering that Petra be sent here immediately.
"Why didn't you tellshe was watching?" I grip onto her elbow, preventing her from walking without me.
"I...I didn't think of it...anyway you weren't listening toat all, just loading all my belongings into the car." She seethes, her jaw tense and her eyes narrow. "Red..." I deeply sigh, the silence of the car journey a memory tonow...but clearly not to her.
"Who was watching?" I curse out as both Jaxon and Jace appear out of nowhere, have they been waiting this entire tto see what the meeting was about...yes. "What's going on Sis?" Jace smiles, taking a step closer to her.

"Yes you are, we can sense it through the bond. What's going on?" "Excuse us." I slide in front of Josie, blocking her view of her brothers.
They will know, but Hector needs to damage control the fact that Josie had a witness. Let's not add more chaos to an already chaotic situation by getting her overly protective brothers involved.
The questioning doesn't stop, as they follow us up the stairs, Jace now peeling that orange. He even heads towards her room until I place a hand on his chest to push him out of the doorway.
Their eyes scowl ateven as I close the door, they'll have to get over it. They will do the sone day. "Maybe I should go tell them.." She moves towards the door but I place my hands on her shoulders and walk her to her bed..
"You will tell them, but you need to get your own head around this at the moment. Your Mum has had almost 20 years to get used to her abilities, I think your brothers will forgive you for taking a few hours to get used to yours." "Yes, yes you are right. Besides if your reaction was anything to go by...." "Meaning?" "It doesn't matter." She mutters before continuing.
"I'm going to take a shower..." "Need company?" I raise an eyebrow, a smirk also following.
"That all depends..." "Depends on what?" "Are you going to keep acting like a dick?" She scolds at me. Here I was thinking we were being playful but she's still angry of the dash exit from the Clear Waters pack. ""Excuse me?" "Knox, you all but threwinto the car to leave. Do you have any idea how you madefeel? You madefeel like a freak." "What?" Her words takeby surprise, I thought she was angry atfor being non-negotiable...I didn't think my actions would lead to this miscommunication.
"You couldn't have gottenout of there any quicker if you tried..." She growls out at me.
"Because I didn't want you to be in danger." I growl back.

"Why would I be in any danger...it is my Mum's pack, my brother's pack Why would I be in any danger." She all but screams at me, her hands N be in covering her face as she roars out in frustration. I take a deep breath in, reminding myself this was happening to her. That she needs my support as much as she needs my muscle.
"You're right, I didn't react well...but don't think it with had anything to do you. I just needed Ito get you back to aplace 1 knew, a place I could protect you." "Knox, only you and I, and know my parents know about this..." She removes her hands from her face and sternly looks at me.
"And Petra.." "Yes and Petra, but she is a pack member...why would she say anything."
"Because my love, you are moon blessed, and people have ulteelenave ulterior motives. Even the people we trust the mest, they can sometimes have dark thoughts, wicked plans.
