The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine) novel Chapter 17

ALPHA KING LEO

I watched Katherine effortlessly punch the bag like her life depended on it and I knew it was to take away the pain she was feeling. I couldn't stop her since there was a lot in her heart she needed to let go so she could begin.

She had to be strong if she wanted to defeat her enemies. Being an Omega doesn't make her less of a beta, but she had to be strong just like one. Every damn time, I want to know what she thinks about, but I can figure that out.

"Kath.." I called, but she didn't stop. I was starting to get worried, so I rose to my feet, but she fell on the floor before I could get to her, panting so hard and fast,

"That's enough for today," I uttered as I squatted to her level, but she shook her head in negation. "That's not all, I'm fine. I want to keep going." She said, but I wasn't going to let her continue. If she does, then she will pass out any minute.

"We should head back to the mansion, Katherine. You'll need all your strength to continue tomorrow." I helped her up on her feet and wanted to take her in my arms, but she insisted on walking. As she walked, I trailed behind her and we met Blake waiting outside.

Katherine and I got into the car that had earlier brought her here. She was silent, looking the other way to avoid my gaze.

"Your stepsister, I know she did it," I spoke to break the silence, but Katherine didn't turn her gaze at me.

"What's the use if no one else but you believe me? Everyone thinks she's the innocent one while I get to bear the image of a murderer who is wanted dead."

I wanted to take her hand, but I gave a second thought about it. "And your family too?"

"They are not my family. My family died a long time ago, so I don't have one. My mother was the only family I had, but she's dead and so I have no one."

She was deeply hurt, and judging by the way she spoke to me, I could tell she was angry as well. Her gaze had also refused to meet mine. Blake had found out everything I wanted him to find out about Jane, but I had no idea if I could hand it over to Katherine yet. She deserves to know how everything was planned against her.

The car halted, but she didn't wait for the door to be opened before stepping out. I trailed behind her as she began to rush in, and when we got in, she finally turned around to spare me a glance,

"Can I be alone for a few hours? I think I really need it now."
