The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine) novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 

KATHERINE: 

I had nothing to lose when I made that decision to follow Zane to where my babies were. For the sake of my children, I had to believe him, so I trailed behind him till we got to his car. 

Zane opened the door and began waiting for me to step in, but I took a deep breath, not knowing why I felt so uneasy. Probably because I was standing a few inches away from the man who had shattered my heart apart in one night. 

My children were enough strength to want to make me take a step forward, and as a result of that, I did. I stepped toward him and got into the car. Zane came to the driver’s seat afterward and when he sat down, he ignited the engine and drove the car. 

Deep down. I prayed he would not start any conversation with me till we got to wherever he was taking me. As soon as we got into the blue crest pack, 1 felt a high level of uneasiness buried in my heart, but I didn’t bother reacting to these feelings. The car suddenly halted right in front of my old family house. 

“What are we doing here?” 

“This was the only safe place I could get them, Katherine. Let’s go in.” 

I stared at Zane for a few seconds and then opened the door myself. I stepped out of the car but didn’t take another step towards the house. Just staring at my family’s house brought back our memories. It was empty because I knew that after everything that happened, my father and my stepmom would have to pack out of there to an even bigger house. 

I swallowed a lump of saliva as memories played vividly in my head. Memories of when I was bullied by Jane when I was given the smaller share of meals, when I was given the entire house chores when my stepmom would beat me up so bad if I spoke about my mom. When I was made to feed on cramps meant for dogs just because I disobeyed anyone 

“Aren’t you coming!” Zane’s voice brought me out of my thoughts, and I nodded before answering TIl trail behind you? 

He stared at me for a few seconds before walking away. Walking into this building reminded me of those memories that I despised so much. Even when my mother was still here, her life was a living hell with my father. This place never held any good memories for me. 

We got to the entrance of the building, and Zane halted. I watched him bring out the keys, 

“How did you get the keys? Jane?” 1 questioned as I was starting to feel suspicious. 

“No. I own this building, Katherine.” He replied. 

I didn’t bother asking how, and I didn’t care either. Just take me to where you kept my kids so I can leave at once Immediately Zane inserted the key into the keyhole, I expected him to unlock the door, but his hands didn’t move. 

“What’s wrong?” 

“There’s someone on our trail Katherine, no, not someone, some people. I can smell rogues from a close distance. He uttered and fear gripped me immediately. I turned around to look, but I could see nothing. I was an Omega, so sensitive smell, hearing, or speed wasn’t something I could ever dream of 

“Is this some sort of trick or are you trying to have me killed!” I yelled at Zane, taking steps away from him. I stared at his face. 

“Katherine, you can’t leave. I swear this isn’t any trick. I’m only trying to protect you.” He uttered. 

The word “protect made my ears twitch in irritation From what?” Then I thought again, “My kids were never alive in the beginning right? Tears stung my eyes as I questioned him without taking my gaze away from him. This time around, I wasn’t scared of death anymore. I just wanted to hear the truth from Zane, whether my kids were alive or not. 

“Answer me, you bastard!” I yelled at him, but he sped towards me and grabbed my arm, making me wince in pain as his grip on my arm tightened a bit. 

“They’re here. Come with me, I’m not going to let anyone hurt you.”
