The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9
ALPHA KING LEO:
My Lycan snapped at Zane’s words and for a moment, we couldn’t control ourselves. I didn’t mind whatever was going to happen. As long as Zane had insulted Kathrine in my presence, he was going to pay with his f*cking life.
I growled and charged at him, grabbing his neck with my claws, and slammed his body against one of the cars around. “How dare you!” I yelled but suddenly felt so many arrows pierce into the back of my skin. I groaned but didn’t take my gaze away from Zane even for a second knowing that I would heal completely within a few seconds.
“Please, I’m sorry.” I was ready to tear him apart completely.
“Weapons down.” Blake yelled, and when they all saw their Alpha was in danger, they dropped their weapons down, but I knew I wasn’t going to let the bastard go.
“Alpha Leo.” I heard my name, “Please, stop! I’m begging you, please, stop.” I snapped my head backward to see Katherine on
her knees with tears stinging her face, and it made me flutter my brows. I was distracted for a moment, making Zane try t
free himself from my grip, but I held him back down with another level of force, this time stronger, and sneered at him.
“Please don’t hurt him, please,” Katherine begged again. I could see how weak she was and I could smell her fear. She was f*cking scared of me, and it was then I realized what I had turned into as a result of my anger.
“Today’s your lucky day Zane,” I uttered and slowly let go of his neck. I could see the deep holes and the marks of my claws around his neck. I watched him struggle to stand up on his feet when I threw him down with a thud.
“Make sure they’re f*cking out of the pack, Blake,” I instructed and turned around to face Katherine who was still on the floor. Da*n, she wasn’t supposed to see this. I took a step toward her, but she moved away a bit, and it got me so surprised. She didn’t think of me as a monster did she? What if she knew my real identity? I could be dangerous for her, but I care less about that. The most important thing was protecting the mate I had always longed for, and I was going to do that at all costs, even if I had to set the world ablaze for her sake.
“Katherine,” I called gently,
“Don’t come close, please.” She begged me, and I immediately stopped myself from taking further steps towards her.
“You weren’t supposed…”
“Just stay away from me, please. I just want to be alone, away from everyone, please.” I didn’t want her to be alone. I wanted to be there for her, hold her in my arms, and tell her not to be afraid of me. I had released the beast which I kept hidden for five years and it was because of her. The thought of Zane disrespecting her snapped Bolt and me.
Even though I had halted earlier, I heaved deeply and continued to walk towards her. She panicked a little and suddenly stopped moving backward. Before I knew it, she shut her eyes and passed out right in front of me while I sped toward her and picked her up in my arms. T’m not gonna let anything happen to you, Katherine, I’m not,” I uttered and rushed into the house immediately. As I laid her on the large soft bed, I took two steps away staring at her.
There was a knock on the door, and when I turned around, Blake opened the door and walked in.
“Hey, what happened?”
“Katherine passed out. She was d*mn scared of me, Blake.”
‘T’ll call the pack doctor immediately,” Blake uttered and I nodded my head as he walked away. I sat close to Katherine, staring at her beautiful figure. Even while she was unconscious, she was still the most beautiful lady I had ever set my eyes on. I may not be blessed with a strong mate, but I was blessed with a beautiful one.
All sorts of thought crept into my mind as I explored her with my eyes,

“Bolt, stop it!” I instructed, but my Lycan was a hell of a stubborn one.
“It’s not so bad to want to devour our mate, Leo. She’s our mate and it’s normal
“This is not the right time to think about that. You should have stayed back in no matter what, Bolt. Katherine wasn’t ready”
“And watch those fools take our mate away? We’ve searched for our mate for years and now that she’s here, no one’s going to take her away. She’s going be fine if you let her in on who we are
I rubbed my forehead slightly and paced a few steps toward the window, “That’s not going to happen, Bolt. It’s better if she doesn’t know anything for her safety and the safety of the pack”
The door opened, and Blake walked right in with a pack doctor behind him. I immediately cut off my connection with Bolt and turned around to face the doctor. “Make sure she’s fine, and she’s not affected in any way,” I instructed the doctor and when he nodded his head, I let him move towards her.
“She’s still in a lot of shock, Alpha, and thankfully, nothing happened to her brain. There are still some traces of internal injury, and judging by what I found out, she went into labor a few days ago. The doctor uttered after a few minutes of examining her.
“What?” I uttered, and turned to face Blake who was just as surprised as I was.
“Is she going to be fine?” My hands were curled up into a fist as spoke. “Yes. All she needs is proper attention and a close watch. Also, some healthy food would be necessary and a lot of vitamins.” I nodded my head.
As soon as the doctor was gone, I shut my eyes to think. No wonder Katherine was in a lot of pain. Why the f*cking hell did she not let me tear that bastard apart? D*mn. I f*cking hope it’s not what I’m thinking.
“Blake” my eyes were still shut as I called.
“Find out what happened to the baby immediately. I commanded and when I heard the door shut, I opened my eyes and took steps towards Katherine. “From now on, you’ll be mine to protect, Katherine.”
