The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine) novel Chapter 16

KATHERINE:

When I woke up, I was all alone on the bed. I shifted my hand to the spot Leo had slept on earlier, and I had no idea when a smile formed on my lips. I had cried myself to sleep last night, and I also recalled myself telling Leo not to leave me all alone after the dream I had.

It's been days after the ordeal with Leo almost killing Zane, and I had not even begun any steps in proving my innocence to Zane. I feel so useless, powerless, and bitter. Every time I try to be strong, the memories of my kids in the arms of those monsters… the memories of them being taken away from me still hurts like hell. I gently sat upright on the bed, thinking of what to do for the day.

As I was about to stand on my feet, a knock was rasped on the door.

"Come in," I said, and it was opened afterward. I had no idea when I shyly looked away after I saw Leo standing at the entrance. "Good morning." He greeted.

"Morning," I responded, although mine came almost like a whisper.

"Dress up, you need to come with me."

I averted my gaze towards him immediately I heard him, and arched my brows, "Are we going somewhere?"

"Yes. Training."

This came as a surprise to me, but I didn't bother to ask any questions. I rose to my feet, and nodded my head, "I'd like some privacy to get prepared please."

His gaze was fixated on me, but when he heard me, he nodded his head. "I'll leave you now." I watched him turn his back and walk out of my room, shutting the door behind me. I could only stare at the exit telling myself that I had to forget about my pains if I wanted to move forward. Although I couldn't forget what they did to me and I still had plans to pay them back, I had to forget the things that were hurting so badly for a moment.

About 30 minutes later, I was done dressing. I was on a yellow crop top and black leggings. I found a new pair of slippers and put them on. Walking downstairs, the living room was empty of other people except Blake. The moment he heard my footsteps, he turned around to stare at me,

"Good morning." He greeted me first, and when I responded, I cocked my head sideways secretly searching for Alpha Leo.

"Are you looking for the alpha?." Blake asked. "Yes," I responded almost immediately like I was waiting for the question.
