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. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“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.”
I was shocked at Zane’s words. A month ago he wanted me dead so why the hell was he different now? “Let me go! I’d rather be killed by rogues than move away from here with you Zane, and if you’re trying to play smart with me, then don’t.” I nodded my head as my tears fell freely from my eyes,
“My kids are gone. If they were here I’d know by now.” I took my gaze away from him and took a deep breath in so I could calm myself. “When I finally get the opportunity, I’m going to make you suffer really bad for what you did to me, Zane. It’s fair enough, you didn’t deserve to even lay your eyes on them, or even your hands. They were never yours from the start.” I uttered and forced my arm away from his grip.
“Kill me if you wish, I’m leaving.” I began walking away, but that was when I could see them. Rogues. They were standing at the entrance of the gate. I halted immediately and began taking steps backward while my legs and feet shook at the sight of them.
“Don’t you fucking lay your hands on her, Zane uttered, and I scoffed at his words. Something was fired towards me, but in a second. Zane was standing right in front of me. I arched my brows, staring at him, and then I saw a small arrow–shaped needle at the side of his neck
“RUN KATHERINE! RUN AND DON’T LOOK BACK!” He said to me almost in a whisper.
