Chapter 91: She Has Me!
Kane POV
“Problem?” The stranger stood before me asked, Smiling at me, smug and self–assured. Something about the chill that licked up my spine set my teeth on edge like I was dealing with a monster but not the kind with fur and sharp claws… the sort that dwelled in the shadows and came out to wreak havoc.. literally… on the world.
“Why are you in here!” I barked, taking a photo of my Mother and Father from his hands and placing it back in its place.
“I was helping your Mother; I found her sobbing in the hallway; she could barely breathe; bless her! She asked me to help her get to her room…. she needed to see her mate.” He explained with a warm nod to my Mother. “I can’t even begin to imagine what she is suffering!” He added, his tone laced with warmth and compassion that felt so false there was no way even my Mother was buying it.
“Well, you have done your good deed.” I announced, narrowing my eyes on the creep, “Now, if you don’t mind, this is a family matter,” I warned with a nod back to the door he came through..
“Of course.” He smiled all honey and bullshit! Relief spread through me when he made his way to the door without a fuss, only to pause and look back at his eyes shining with something unknown.
my Mother,
“But… She has been through so much! She shouldn’t really be alone!” he added, his eyes settling on me as if he had just won an enormous victory! He hadn’t!
“She has me.” I replied coolly; I agreed with him, of course. Ma shouldn’t be left alone, but I had no intention of doing so. However, something in the way he spoke. told me he had something ominous up his sleeve.
“I don’t want you here, Kane!” Ma moaned angrily, making my heart drop. Turning, I met her eyes and saw the heartbreak swimming in her irises. I knew she

was at breaking point, but to push me away, I couldn’t understand it. She had lost a mate, but I had lost my Father, too!
“She blames me too!” I uttered to Rolo, knowing there was no one else I could open up to right now. My brother was having his own issues, and my mate was trying to save everyone else.
“She is in pain, Kane!” He replied sympathetically. “This isn’t your fault!”
“Really… because I am pretty certain I have a part to play in this; if I hadn’t allowed Mike to put that shit in everyone’s drinks, if I had stood up to him..” I trailed off as I wallowed in regret and rejection.
“In the middle of the ball.. it would have caused a scene?” He cut me off bluntly.
“Not sure if you recall the big ass scene that erupted because I didn’t punch some little twit in the face and tell my family not to drink his shit! Instead, I said nothing and hoped for the best! I may not have killed Pa, but I had a hand to play in his death; because of me and my judgement call, he was defenceless… he died for nothing!” I spewed, the words falling from my mouth quick and fast like verbal
diarrhoea.
“I understand,” Rolo muttered, and I could sense that he did! We were one, after all, and he must be feeling the same guilt I was.
“Because I was too wrapped up in Charlotte and what Knox and her were doing, I didn’t see the bomb waiting to go off; I didn’t spot Mike’s decision; I didn’t do anything!” I growled, my eyes filling with unspoken turmoil.
‘Blaming yourself isn’t going to help, and nor will fighting your Mother on this; if she wants space from you and Knox, give it to her.. she will come around… she will see through the pain eventually, and so will you!” Rolo sighed with wisdom I knew came solely from him because I couldn’t see that shit coming to pass, not now, at least!
“I will call Lilly to come up.” I started to say to my Mother, but the unscented male shook his head as a treacherous smirk played on his thin lips.

“She is with Alpha Sebastian; I hear he is in quite a bad state, life–threatening, I believe! I imagine Lilly is a little indisposed.” He answered smoothly as butter wouldn’t fucking melt… but we both knew it would burn! There was something off about him, something dark and unsettling that just got my back up.
“Then I am afraid we are out of options.” I declared, crossing my arms over my chest in an attempt to show my size and strength, something I knew I had achieved by the way my muscles popped when I tensed. With a pat on my biceps, he pushed past me, pausing at my side to look at me, his tone deathly low.
“Not my type, big fella… I prefer them smaller.. petite, preferably blonde and without a dick!” He winked and headed over to my Mother, who seemed oblivious.
Following him, I put myself between my Mother and this swine. Wanting to pull him from the room and knock him into next week for no other reason than it would
make me feel better. However, I didn’t have a leg to stand on because, so far, he had actually done nothing but give me the creeps.
“Are you wearing your Father’s clothes?” My Mother gasped as she pulled at the clothing I had borrowed.
“Yes, sorry Ma… I didn’t want to leave him, and I didn’t want to sit here next to him naked! It felt wrong!” I admitted, brushing her hand off the fabric and scooping. it up in mine.
“DON’T!” She yelled, yanking her hand away like I had the fucking plague.
“Mother!” I whined, the hurt unmissable from the whine in my tone.
“No… Kane, just leave! And I want those clothes back! They are not yours!” She snapped before returning her attention to my Father as if waiting for him to wake up from a nap.
“You shouldn’t be alone..” I tried to reason with my grief–stricken Mother.
