The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine) novel Chapter 4

ZANE:

I halted right in front of Lycan King Leo's Bentley, trying hard not to act too shocked at his presence. This was the first time he was gracing us with his presence since the first day I knew someone like Alpha King Leo existed. I had no idea why he decided to come for my father's burial and my coronation, but I was more than happy to see him here.

This would leave a great impact on my pack, one that would certainly make me prosper. I had to be on my best behavior and be on his good side as well.

"Alpha Leo," I called out with respect and outstretched my hand to a handshake. "It's so surprising that you're here today, what made you have a chance of heart because you clearly stated you wouldn't be coming."

"Blake." He called out to his beta standing behind him, while I waited patiently until his beta returned. "Alpha Zane, right?"

"Yes, it's Zane," I responded excitedly. It was even more comforting that he knew my name. "Here, it's a gift from my pack, accept it."

I froze, staring at the envelope he was holding. I outstretched my hand and collected it immediately. "Thank you so much, Alpha."

"My condolences on the loss of your father, I'm truly sorry."

"Thank you. Please, let's go in." If anyone had told me a day like this would come, I would have laughed at their faces, but here I was, standing a few inches from the Lycan king who was feared by all other Alphas.

Since I had not prepared a special seat, I had to think of an idea fast. A seat was prepared in a few minutes and Alpha Leo took his seat. As soon as the coronation started, I rose to my feet and began to walk towards the podium with Jane by my side.

She took a few steps backward, wanting me to first of all address the people.

"It's so wonderful to have you all here. After the death of my father, the Alpha king, it's only right that I take next in line as Alpha of the Blue Crest pack, so thank you for your support to my late father." I turned around to stare at Jane, and nodded my head for her to step forward,

"3 days ago, after the ordeal with my past mate, I present to you your new Luna. I made a huge mistake in the past which cost me the life of my father, the late Alpha and because of that, I'm never going to forgive myself for picking a wolf in sheep's clothing as my mate."

I held Jane's hands as I spoke, trying as hard as possible not to get so emotional. I stepped down from the podium still holding Jane's hand, and together, we walked back to our seats. My gaze averted to Alpha Leo, and I saw him staring at me coldly, but I took my gaze away from his almost immediately and took my seat.

It wasn't long when I turned around to stare at where he was seated, but he was gone, and his sudden disappearance made me arch my brows as I wondered where he had suddenly disappeared.

KATHERINE:

A bright light shone into the dungeon I was in, and I opened my eyes, fluttering my brows a few times so I could see clearly. I could hear nothing other than the loud sounds of water dripping from the rocks, and down to the floor very close to me. I had gotten so used to the sound to a level that I found peace most of the time when I listened to the rhythm it created.
