The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine) novel Chapter 6

KATHERINE:

I had to think of every possible way to escape from this place because I was scared. Zane was a monster and if he found out I was here, he would come get me immediately, and this time I would be dead in less than a few hours. I sniffled, realizing that it was just an expensive joke from him.

''Do you find so much joy in playing with other people?"

He simply scoffed and rose to his feet, while folding his hands behind his back, I watched him scoff once again. "Who are you?" He questioned and at that moment, I had no idea what to say. I didn't want his pity so I couldn't just tell him that I was Zane's mate whom he had rejected because of an accusation that I didn't commit. I couldn't tell him that I was someone who had been betrayed by her own family who despised her with passion and made her life miserable and that I had lost my precious babies at the hands of my enemies. That I was someone whose heart was hell-bent on taking revenge on all those who hurt me so much and killed my children.

I had no idea when a tear rolled down my eyes and I immediately looked away from him. "I am nobody!" I finally said those words that I always heard my family say to me. I was agreeing to the fact that I was a nobody because I was miserable and right now, I couldn't do anything to the people I hated so much no matter how much I wanted to tear them apart right now. I rubbed the tears that stung my eyes and turned back to look at him.

"Please, let me go."

" What is your name?" He questioned, but I didn't give a response immediately because I couldn't disclose my real name to him. "If you need my help, tell me, and I'll offer a hand to you." He leaned closer to me which left my heart thumping harder than last time.

"You're my mate, therefore, you're my possession!"

I arched my brows at him, trying so hard to understand what he had just said right now. "W…wh…what?" I responded, unable to take my gaze away from him. At that moment, he took a few steps away from me. "But you're weak, and you're strange. Why can't I read you like everyone else?"

His words were becoming too scary for me to understand, and I was beginning to get scared. Then, I suddenly recalled the scent I had perceived earlier, and Lyla's reaction to his footsteps. Even after this, I didn't want to acknowledge his words because I wasn't ready to be mated again.

"You were the one who brought me out of there?"

There was a strange look he gave me as he stared into my eyes and it told me that I needed to trust him. It was one that told me that I had found a protector, a true mate willing to sacrifice a lot for me. I realized that I never felt this way when I had found Zane, and maybe I was scared of a second chance. His eyes were supposed to make me feel safe, but they made me feel strange.

"You should get some rest first, I'll be back to check up on you." He said to me as he tucked his hand into his pocket. As he walked away, I didn't stop him. The moment I heard the door, I rested my head on my knees and began to cry.

No matter how much I hated Zane, I still wanted everything to be a dream. There was no pain much worse than this because all my life, I simply wanted a perfect family. Kids around me, and a strong pack where we can raise our kids. A few days ago, I gave birth to my precious children, my boy and my girl and yet I wasn't able to hold them in my arms. It was tearing me apart, and I knew that I would never be able to take the pain away. The memories were buried deep down my head.
