The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine)

ZANE: 

When I received Katherine’s call, I desperately wanted to tell her that what I had said to her was a lie. I found out that right now, it was hard to kill her. Katherine might have stained my image and killed my father, but she was once a woman I loved with all my heart. 

“Zane, are you okay?” I heard Jane’s voice as she walked into the living room. 

“Did you receive any call from Katherine? Anything, no messages too?” 

I had almost wanted to hold back from telling Jane that Katherine had called about some minutes ago, but jane just had to trigger that hatred that I was slowly letting go. 

“Zane.” She called and sat next to me. I don’t know if you’re being reluctant on this, or if you don’t hate Katherine anymore, but we have to do this. It’s for the best of the pack if she’s gone. What would the pack think if they knew that the omega who killed the Alpha king was still out there breathing fresh air! Everyone would call you weak. They’ll think you still love her or do you?” 

I shook my head in negation.

“It’s you I love, Jane.” 

“I know baby, and I love you too. But Katherine has to go. If she doesn’t, then she’ll keep spreading those awful rumors about you knowing you’re too weak to even retaliate because of the Lycan.” Jane responded, and I heaved deeply. This was completely against my will, but because of Jane’s happiness, 

“Katherine called about an hour ago. She’s ready and she needs me to come pick her up. Now I know she hates me and she doesn’t trust me so it won’t be easy to get her to the garage. 

“It would, Zane. I know you can do it. It’s so clear that there might be an ounce of feelings for you in her heart. If there is, then you make use of that and lure her to the garage. We need her on time before anyone in the Blood Moon Pack realizes she’s missing. I have everything ready, and you’ll do it yourself. For your father, for your pack, and your image. 

She rose to her feet first and I followed. Maybe it was best to just get everything done and over with. If Katherine was out of the way, it would do the pack well, 

“I’ll get ready, and we’ll meet at the garage,” I said to Jane and began walking out of the house. I got to my car and got in. As I held the wheels, my hands refused to make another move to start the car. I wrecked my fingers through my hair, and uttered 

in silence, 

“Why the hell did you have to betray ine, Katherine? I could have let you go if you had only cheated, that was how much 1 loved you, but not my father’s death: Shutting my eyes for only a few seconds, I opened them again and ignited the car, then drove out of the house. It was better to do this now that a part of me still hated Katherine and wanted her dead, but the other part did. I just wanted my ex–mate back in my arms and I couldn’t let that happen. I wasn’t ready to lose my pack if I did that. 

As I realized that there would never be any chance in the world for Katherine and me to get back together, I sped the car and continued moving till I got to the location where she was waiting for me. The exact spot was empty so I called. 

“Kath, are you here?” There was still silence, and when I turned around, she was standing behind me in a dazzling yellow gown that covered her knees. My eyes traveled around her body, and I realized that even after birthing her babies, nothing changed. She was still very curvy with small breasts, 

“Would you keep staring at me in that manner or take me to my children?” I heard Katherine’s voice in my lost state and fluttered my brows, 

“Why did you change your mind?” I asked because I was curious. Did she perhaps believe what I had said about Alpha Leo and the kind of person he was! 

“I figured out it’s way better I trust no other person than myself. Tve made my decision, and as soon as I have my children, I’ll leave for somewhere you’ll never be able to find me for as long as I live. You don’t ever have to worry about me in your life, Zane, and if you ever find me, then I won’t stop you from killing me.” 

Somehow, I had no idea why I felt happy that she had believed what I said. Because I knew Katherine well, I could see the look of hatred for him in her eyes as she spoke to me. Jane was smart, and she had managed to plan everything really well. 

“Come with me, I uttered and turned to leave, but Katherine wasn’t following behind me, so I turned back at her, 

“Why should I trust you, Zane? What if this was one of your schemes to get me back into your pack and have me killed.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

There was one way, and it was so sad I had to resort to this. I spread my arms apart, without breaking my gaze on hers, 

“We were together for more than two years, and you know me hest,” I said, but she shook her head in negation. “You’re wrong? I stopped knowing who you were when you looked me in the eyes and rejected me. When you believed the words of family over mine knowing it was what they wanted, to keep us apart. I could see tears at the brim of her eyes and her voice went from stern to shaky. 

Why was Katherine’s words suddenly hurting so much? Was I wrong for not believing her? But everything was so clear. Whatever evidence that was gotten was so clear because Katherine was there beside my father’s dead body and the wolfsbane was right in her bag. There was no fucking way anything could have been planned or framed. 

“It’s left for you to believe me or not, I uttered without bringing my arm down, 

“But you should be able to tell when I’m lying Kath,” I uttered and she sniffled, 

“Whether you’re lying or not, I don’t care anymore. Lead the way” She uttered, and deep down, I wished she could have just insisted on a no, and walked away.
