The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine)

Chapter 16

KATHERINE:

When I woke up, I was all alone on the bed. I shifted my hand to the spot Leo had slept on earlier, and I had no idea when a smile formed on my lips. I had cried myself to sleep last night, and I also recalled myself telling Leo not to leave me all alone after the dream I had.

It's been days after the ordeal with Leo almost killing Zane, and I had not even begun any steps in proving my innocence to Zane. I feel so useless, powerless, and bitter. Every time I try to be strong, the memories of my kids in the arms of those monsters… the memories of them being taken away from me still hurts like hell. I gently sat upright on the bed, thinking of what to do for the day.

As I was about to stand on my feet, a knock was rasped on the door.

"Come in," I said, and it was opened afterward. I had no idea when I shyly looked away after I saw Leo standing at the entrance. "Good morning." He greeted.

"Morning," I responded, although mine came almost like a whisper.

"Dress up, you need to come with me."

I averted my gaze towards him immediately I heard him, and arched my brows, "Are we going somewhere?"

"Yes. Training."

This came as a surprise to me, but I didn't bother to ask any questions. I rose to my feet, and nodded my head, "I'd like some privacy to get prepared please."

His gaze was fixated on me, but when he heard me, he nodded his head. "I'll leave you now." I watched him turn his back and walk out of my room, shutting the door behind me. I could only stare

at the exit telling myself that I had to forget about my pains if I wanted to move forward. Although I couldn't forget what they did to me and I still had plans to pay them back, I had to forget the things that were hurting so badly for a moment.

About 30 minutes later, I was done dressing. I was on a yellow crop top and black leggings. I found a new pair of slippers and put them on. Walking downstairs, the living room was empty of other people except Blake. The moment he heard my footsteps, he turned around to stare at me,

"Good morning." He greeted me first, and when I responded, I cocked my head sideways secretly searching for Alpha Leo.

"Are you looking for the alpha?." Blake asked. "Yes," I responded almost immediately like I was waiting for the question.

"He asked me to take you first. He'll be there soon." Blake uttered, but I gave him a look of disappointment, and maybe he saw it even though I had tried to hide it. "Why? Did he leave without me?"

"No. He had something urgent to attend to, that's why. Please, come with me."

The mansion was so big that any stranger would easily get lost around here. I never had the time to explore around because it was either I was in my room sulking or I was talking with Alpha Leo. I silently stared outside the window of the car as it drove around the mansion, and in about 10 minutes, it halted.

"We're here," Blake said, and before I could respond, the door was opened for me to step out. Right in front was a building, and just like Blake had said earlier, it was where Alpha Leo trained himself most times. I took a deep breath in and began walking in while Blake trailed behind me. I had never been here before, but I knew maybe I was feeling a bit better after getting out of the main house. The door was opened and I stepped in.

Everywhere was so…. I really couldn't find the right words to explain the sight I beheld, but it sure had everything that I had imagined and didn't. "This way." I heard Blake's voice as my eyes traveled around and trailed behind me till we got to another room.

"You'll need something more appropriate."

Blake walked over to the show glass where multiple shoes were kept and opened it. He turned around to stare at my leg before picking out one of them. It was a white Snickers. He came towards me and went on his knees,

"I'll take that off." I was about to raise my leg, but we suddenly heard Alpha Leo's voice. "Leave it." Alpha Leo said and suddenly in a second, he was standing right in front of me. I still really had to get used to his speed because it was like nothing I had ever seen before. I couldn't help but smile a little bit. Blake rose to his feet and took a few steps away from us, and Leo went on his knees.

I slowly gave him my leg, and he took off my slippers. He placed my feet gently into the snickers and tied the ropes. "Perfect." I heard before he rose to his feet, and replied, "Thanks."

"Shall we?"

As he walked, I trailed behind me. "Take a seat." I took my seat so I could watch him. The first spot he walked towards was the punching bag. Like a pro, he attacked it, landing blows and moving sideways as well. I watched as he moved his body to the rhythm of the bag, and got lost in watching him until he turned around to stare at me. "Your turn." He said, but I didn't think I was ready to do this.

"Come on." He uttered, and I rose to my feet. I was standing right in front of the punching bag and staring at it. All my life, I never hurt a fly, but end up getting hurt worse than I can ever imagine,Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Think of something, anything," Leo spoke closely behind me, and his whisper sent shivers down my body as I felt his touch on my shoulders. I suddenly thought of the days before I had met Zane. The day I left the hospital after my mother had been reported dead because she failed to receive the surgery, and when I got home, my father was celebrating with my stepmom over Jane's newfound boyfriend. The thought of all this brought tears clinging to my brows,

Lastly, I could see myself on my knees pleading with Zane that I was innocent. When I had walked into that room after receiving a request from his father to see me, I walked in intending to plead with him to accept me as Zane's mate, but right there, I found him dead before I rushed over to him.

I clenched my fingers, letting my tears slide down my eyes. With so much desperation, I aimed at the punching bag and began to throw punches at it. All I could see in front of me was Jane, and the will to show her I wasn't a weakling. If anger and hate could kill from a distance, then Jane would have been six feet under the ground now.
