Chapter 26
ALPHA LEO:
As soon as Katherine was gone, I called Blake.
“What happened at the company today?”
“Things aren’t looking so well over there. The board members seem to be extorting the public and are using the disease outbreak as an opportunity to inflate the prices of the vaccines. I think that’s why she’s like this
I bit my lower lips as I had no idea about this.
“Collect the company’s files and the sales account. Use Katherine’s name to do that.” I instructed Blake and rose to my feet. Katherine might be just what the company needs.
As I got to the stairs, I heard Tanya’s voice,
“Brother, can we talk?”,
I turned around to stare at Tanya behind me, “About what?” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“About me. About the fact that I don’t want to go back to that hell of a supernatural academy brother. My powers are growing beyond a limit, beyond what I can control and I need to stay here. I need to be in the pack too. Why don’t you believe that I have a life here? Why do you keep sending me away?
I heaved deeply. I wasn’t ready to talk to Tanya about this “Let’s not talk about this, Tanya. You can’t question my order as well so you’re leaving
“Brother..” she yelled at me, but I simply turned around and began walking away. “Leo.” I could have halted almost immediately when I heard her call my name, but I didn’t. I simply continued to walk until I got to the passway leading to my room, and headed for my room. I had no strength to argue with Tanya because I couldn’t let her stay in the pack no matter what. Tanya had a soft heart unlike me and I knew the things that she could do if I let her stay here. He would be free if she stayed and I couldn’t afford that to happen..
As I lay on the bed, I let out a small groan thinking abour Emily. She must have been so mad after what happened at the company, but why? I let out a loud groan and shut my eyes, but then I couldn’t stop thinking. Emily had said she wanted to bel alone, but I couldn’t let that happen, not when she was like that earlier. I rose to my feet and began heading towards her room.
“You want to talk? Are you kidding me? Did you just say you want to talk?” 1 scoffed aloud as I couldn’t believe what Zane had just spat out from his mouth,
“Why should I listen to you? Why should I listen to anything you have to say to me? You gave me no opportunity to talk and explain when I was accused, Zane. You rejected me and exiled me into the dungeon when I was carrying your babies, and now…” I wasn’t ready to speak of the fact that my children were gone because it would bring back memories that I didn’t want to remember.
“I promised myself that I would never forgive you, and I still haven’t.”
“Listen to me, Katherine. I’m…”
“Shut the hell up!” I yelled at him and paused trying to keep my breath steady. “If the Alpha finds out you came here, you’ll be dead Zane, so I’m giving you one last chance to walk out of here:
“I’m not going to walk away, Katherine. I walked away the first time, but I won’t now.”
I arched my brows at him,
“I was wrong. I should have believed you in the first instance, and I’m so sorry I didn’t I know whatever feelings you have for me aren’t entirely gone. There’s still some left in there so give me a chance to prove to you that I’m sorry.”
Zane’s words shocked the hell out of me. “Can’t you bring back what your wife took away from me? Can you undo the damage she did to me? Can you undo the stain she left on my name? Can you do that, huh Zane? Please leave. You have no idea you’re living with the main murderer.”
Zane took a step closer to me and no matter how hard I tried to yell out loud for help, I didn’t. “See, I know you, Katherine. I know you more than anybody else would in the world, and you know I loved you. I was willing to sacrifice even my position as future Alpha all for you, and I was willing to give more than that because of my love for you. You were my first love. Do you think you can trust Alpha Lea? You’ve heard the stories about him, right? He’s a fucking killer, and he killed his family. Do you know why he’s called the death Lycan king? Because he’s a monster who kills people without giving them a second chance, and even the innocent, you can’t trust him, Katherine”
“Well, I do trust him way more than I trust you. I would rather live the rest of my life with a monster, than you.” I uttered and took a step back from Zane, but we began to hear footsteps coming toward my room,
“Did you hear that? This time, I won’t stop him from killing you, I promise.” I meant the words I had just uttered to Zane,
“I hope this will be able to change your mind, Katherine. Whenever you’re ready. I’ll be waiting for you here. I’ll keep coming till you change your mind.” As he placed the photo in my hand, I stared at it and gasped,
“Yes, they’re our babies, and they’re alive. I saved them, Katherine. He uttered, and before I could utter a word, he rushed towards the window and jumped out. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I heard a knock on my door, but I didn’t respond. I clutched onto the pictures so tight, not wanting to let go, and hurried to my bed so I could pretend that I was asleep.
The door opened, but I didn’t open my eyes until I heard it close again. When I opened my eyes a little, Leo was gone so I brought down the duvet and continued to stare at the pictures. Was this real?
My precious babies!! Were they really alive?
