The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine)

Chapter 6

KATHERINE:

I had to think of every possible way to escape from this place because I was scared. Zane was a monster and if he found out I was here, he would come get me immediately, and this time I would be dead in less than a few hours. I sniffled, realizing that it was just an expensive joke from him.

''Do you find so much joy in playing with other people?"

He simply scoffed and rose to his feet, while folding his hands behind his back, I watched him scoff once again. "Who are you?" He questioned and at that moment, I had no idea what to say. I didn't want his pity so I couldn't just tell him that I was Zane's mate whom he had rejected because of an accusation that I didn't commit. I couldn't tell him that I was someone who had been betrayed by her own family who despised her with passion and made her life miserable and that I had lost my precious babies at the hands of my enemies. That I was someone whose heart was hell-bent on taking revenge on all those who hurt me so much and killed my children.

I had no idea when a tear rolled down my eyes and I immediately looked away from him. "I am nobody!" I finally said those words that I always heard my family say to me. I was agreeing to the fact that I was a nobody because I was miserable and right now, I couldn't do anything to the people I hated so much no matter how much I wanted to tear them apart right now. I rubbed the tears that stung my eyes and turned back to look at him.

"Please, let me go."

" What is your name?" He questioned, but I didn't give a response immediately because I couldn't disclose my real name to him. "If you need my help, tell me, and I'll offer a hand to you." He leaned closer to me which left my heart thumping harder than last time.

"You're my mate, therefore, you're my possession!"

I arched my brows at him, trying so hard to understand what he had just said right now. "W…wh… what?" I responded, unable to take my gaze away from him. At that moment, he took a few steps away from me. "But you're weak, and you're strange. Why can't I read you like everyone else?"

His words were becoming too scary for me to understand, and I was beginning to get scared. Then, I suddenly recalled the scent I had perceived earlier, and Lyla's reaction to his footsteps. Even after this, I didn't want to acknowledge his words because I wasn't ready to be mated again.

"You were the one who brought me out of there?"

There was a strange look he gave me as he stared into my eyes and it told me that I needed to trust him. It was one that told me that I had found a protector, a true mate willing to sacrifice a lot for me. I realized that I never felt this way when I had found Zane, and maybe I was scared of a second chance. His eyes were supposed to make me feel safe, but they made me feel strange.

"You should get some rest first, I'll be back to check up on you." He said to me as he tucked his hand into his pocket. As he walked away, I didn't stop him. The moment I heard the door, I rested my head on my knees and began to cry.

No matter how much I hated Zane, I still wanted everything to be a dream. There was no pain much worse than this because all my life, I simply wanted a perfect family. Kids around me, and a strong pack where we can raise our kids. A few days ago, I gave birth to my precious children, my boy and my girl and yet I wasn't able to hold them in my arms. It was tearing me apart, and I knew that I would never be able to take the pain away. The memories were buried deep down my head.

Jane suddenly crossed my mind, and the thought of her raged my mind with anger, made my adrenaline spike, made me filled with hatred, the urge to kill, and regret. I wished I had listened to her when she told me Zane wouldn't fail to betray me when the time comes no matter how much he loved me.

I had lost the connection to my children and it was because they were gone. Even with all the pain I was feeling, I rose to my feet.

I had to leave here. I didn't need a second mate, and right now, I didn't need anyone. I had to find my way up to the top so I could take revenge on my family, and the mate whom I thought loved me with all his heart. I had to understand that in all this, I was alone, and for a second time, I would never trust anyone.

Slowly and steadily, I began to limp, and when I got to the door, I opened it and stepped out of the room.

ALPHA LEO:

"Kathrine Everhart," I called her name in silence as I stared at the papers Blake had handed me containing everything I needed to know about my mate. I still didn't know the reason why I couldn't read her mind yet when I could do so for everybody.

"She's a rejected Luna, Alpha Leo." My beta informed me, but I didn't respond immediately as my mind was still on her. "But she's my mate," I told Blake as I raised my head to stare at him. "She's a weak she-wolf, and she knows absolutely nothing about this pack. She's gonna be a threat, a danger, and she's gonna be a weakness to you when everyone finds out who she is."

I rose to my feet, "She's my mate, Blake, and I'm not ready to give her up yet. She's my possession, and mine to protect from anyone who tries to hurt her, do you understand?" As soon as Blake nodded his head, I turned my head around as I could hear footsteps. Kathrine was standing right behind us on the stairs, staring at me.

"I'll excuse you two," Blake said, but he was cut short by Katherine.

"No, stop." She uttered while I watched her keenly. There were bruises around her body, and I suddenly had a feeling that I could temporarily take her pain away.

Blake halted and stared at me. I nodded my head instructing him to stay back like she had instructed. "He's right! I'm weak, I'm nobody, I'm a rejected Luna, I have no luck, and my presence here would only cause your pack danger. Thank you for saving me, but you have to reject me and let me go." Her voice was shaky as she spoke, and I knew at that moment that she would break down into tears.

It was left for me to keep my mate behind, or for me to let go of her like she wanted. I wasn't ready to let go of the mate that I had waited so long for, and so, Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

For me, it was the former because I wasn't willing to let her go yet.
