The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine) novel Chapter 19

KATHERINE:

We headed back home with all the numerous things that Leo had gotten me and staring at them, I still couldn't believe that he would buy me things like this. He barely knew me for a month and the only connection he had with me was that I was his mate.

There was a knock on my door, and when I gave permission, the door opened and Leo walked right in.

"Hey, Katherine." He called, but I didn't smile back. "Thank you so much for everything. It's a lot, so much." I uttered first because that was all I could think of, but he chuckled.

"Dinner will be ready in an hour, care to join us? We could discuss everything you need to know about the company before tomorrow."

I nodded my head in agreement as I loved the fact Leo was trying to get me ready. "I'll be down after taking my bath and setting all of this in order."

"A maid would set up everything. Once you take your bath, you should come downstairs." After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the room while I kept staring at the door. I had no idea whether I was ready for this or not, but it didn't matter. What mattered most was the reason why I was doing all of this. I rose to my feet and headed for the bathroom because I had just an hour to get ready and be downstairs.

After drowning my body in the warm water for 20 minutes, I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel tied around my waist and found something simple to wear since it was night. As I turned to walk out of my room, I heard a sound around the window and turned to look at it.

The same sound came again, and I could swear I saw a shadow before it vanished. "Is someone there?" My legs were frozen at my spot and I couldn't move but my eyes were glued to the window. Maybe it was a bird or something. I walked towards the window to shut it, but just as I held the knob, I felt a pull on my arm from behind and before I could scream, a towel drenched with an intoxicating substance was used to cover my mouth to prevent me from screaming. Still struggling, I could perceive the strong smell of wolfsbane, and struggling with whoever was holding me was in vain.

When I couldn't struggle anymore nor scream for help, I weakly let my body fall on his arms before passing out.

"Brother!! Brother! Brother!" I heard Tanya's voice but didn't bother raising my head to spare her a glance. What the hell was she even doing here?

"Brother!" She yelled again before rushing into my room without knocking. With my eyes still fixated on my phone, I heaved deeply,
