Chapter 81
ZANE:
“Hey man, are you alright? I waited for you at the bar but there was no sign of you. You could have called if you weren’t going to make it.” Killian said to me,
“I had the craziest encounter that day man. I was knocked out, and I was nabbed by a rogue who wanted me dead. Luckily, someone came to my rescue just in time, but I wish I knew who this person was. Everything’s getting damn messy and confusing.”
Killian poured a drink and handed it over to me,
“Don’t you think it’s strange?” He uttered as he took his seat on another couch,
“What is?”
“Don’t you think it’s strange that when you’re getting closer, something strange happens, taking you back to step one? Someone is behind this Zane, and it’s someone who doesn’t want you to dig into what happened that day.”
I thought about what Zane had said, and it could only be the truth.
“Something felt odd when a strange number texted me to meet up but then just suddenly he cancelled. Something fishy is going on man.”
“I tried to trace the number you gave to me, but the person’s dead Zane. He did 5 years ago. There’s probably so much to this that we don’t know about.”
I wrecked my hands through my hair as the thought of what I had done to Katherine kept hitting me over and over again. I messed up big time by being foolish and not listening to her innocent pleas,
“And I’m going to tear apart whoever is responsible for everything when I find them, Killian. I’m not going to spare even a single soul. They ruined everything and made me reject the woman I loved with my heart. My children died because of me and because I thought Katherine cheated.”
A tear had almost slid down my eyes,
“This shouldn’t be your major thoughts, Zane. Show Katherine that you still care deeply about her by finding out who framed her. That’s the only can pay her back for everything. Hopefully, she forgives you. But if Jane is truly
Way you your second chance mate, then…”
When I heard Killian’s last statement, my heart skipped a beat as I recalled that strange lady back at the garage. How could I not recall her all this ti
Was she my mate? What about Jane? This left a confused mark in my mind, but I discarded the thought since that wasn’t important,
“I’ll keep on digging, but I’m going to need your help this time. I can’t trust anyone else but you.”
“Anything for you man. Katherine was a good woman and we’re going to get her back no matter what.” Killian assured but then I wasn’t so sure about that. Although it was what I desperately wanted with my heart, would she be able to forgive me?
After what I did to her.
I killed her babies and threw her into the dungeon, I rejected her and almost killed her twice after she escaped. All that was too much for her to just forgive me simply because I found out who framed her. If I wanted her to forgive
er a good reason to do and come back to me, then I had to give her a good reason to do so.
“I don’t know Killian. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time, and set things right. Katherine and I would have been really happy with our children.”

I’m so sorry about the way things had to go. Don’t give up yet because any good thing might come out of all of this.”
“Yeah, maybe you’re right killian‘ I responded and began to sip from the glass I was holding.
If something good was going to come out of all this, let it be Katherine’s acceptance of me once again.
KATHERINE:
Everything sounded so weird to me. All the talks were mostly about Tristan and all the good things he’s done, but I didn’t hear anything about Leo that piqued my interest.
“What about Leo? Why don’t you say anything about him?”
Tanya suddenly paused and stared at me keenly,
“Do you want to know about him?” She questioned and I nodded my head in it was just a little,

“Why? Why is he keeping his brother away from the world and the pack? Did something happen between them in the past?”
“You’ll get to know that with time, Katherine, I promise. But, whatever you do, don’t ever hate Tristan because he’s the real good guy here. You’ve got to hear him out too before you think he’s that bad. He lied to you because he knew you would never be able to stay quiet once you knew who he was. Tristan never

Tanya responded and when I couldn’t say anything, I picked up the glass of pineapple juice on the table and drank
from it,
“It’s getting late, I need to leave soon.” She continued,
“You could get somewhere else to stay that isn’t the mansion, Tanya. At least I’m certain he’ll grant you that.”
Tanya chuckled and I raised my brows at her,
“I’m sorry, but you have no idea who my brother is. Once he gets mad at something, it could take a lot of effort to let go. But this is my choice too. I badly wanted to leave so I wouldn’t have my life dictated to me for a while. I need all the freedom I can get. The only reason I returned was because of you Katherine. I could see that you needed my help in my vision.”.
“What?”
“Yes. I didn’t see your face though, but I knew how important you were in the pack. I could feel it and something told me to come save you. Believe it or not, Tristan knows what you felt back there.”
“I don’t want to talk about it, Tanya. It has never happened to anyone before, not that I’ve heard of.”
“And that’s because you’re special. Imagine you being

“You have to act normal. Leo mustn’t find out something is troubling you else he’ll become suspicious.” Tanya said to me as we stepped out of the car.
It was so hard
After everything that has happened today, it was so f*cking hard to do as she said,
There were still so many questions that I wanted to ask and answers I needed to hear. For example, Leo wasn’t the bad person in all of this. I was so f*cking worried about this. I was worried about the kind of man he was in the past, and why he was hiding his brother from everyone. What kind of relationship do they have?
Tanya only told me that Tristan was the calm and quiet one,
“Katherine, come on, let’s leave.” Her voice snapped me from my thoughts,
“Eat before you leave. I’ll prepare something good.”
“I can…”
“Please. I’m not going to see you for a long time so eat before you leave.”
She heaved and nodded her head. Once we got to the living room, I placed my bag on the couch and told her to go upstairs and freshen up.
I headed straight for the kitchen and began to prepare something nice for Tanya. Today was the last time I would see her for a long time. I tried as much as possible not to think about what I had heard, but everything kept ringing in my head over and over again,
Two mates…
Three mates….
Why?
Zane had rejected me, but he was my mate too.
“Ouch!” I winced in pain as I felt the knife slit my index finger just as I was about to slice the

the vegetables,
As I was rushing towards the basin, I felt a wave of cold ass pass through me, and that was when I realized someone was behind me,
I turned around to see Leo standing behind me, but something was different.
“Leo?”
His eyes were as usual. They were bloody red, and his claws were so sharp as he stared at me.
“Hey, are you alright?” I questioned. I could see him struggling with something but I didn’t know what.
“Leo, are you alright?”
“Your hand?” His voice came just like a whisper and I stared down at my finger to realize that I was still bleeding,
“Yeah, I cut myself mistakenly. What’s wrong with you? Are you alright?” He grunted at me and I traced his gaze to my hand,
“Hey, can you hear me?” I took two steps, but he yelled at me,
“Stay back, don’t come close to me.”
This made me extremely worried, but I halted because of the shock. I was about to utter another word when he rushed out of the kitchen leaving me even more shocked than I always was.
What the hell was wrong with today? Why was everything so strange?
I found a towel and wrapped my finger in it, then I began to run outside so I could meet up with him. Something was
wrong.
When I got out of the mansion, Leo was gone. He wasn’t anywhere around the compound,
“Leo? Leo?” I called his name repeatedly, but there was no answer from anywhere. This time, my heart was beating so fast and a tear had almost dropped from my eyes because I was damn worried. What could be wrong?
Did something happen to him?
Did someone do something to him? RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Was he going through something?
I kept thinking
I let go of the towel on my finger, turned around, and walked in different directions,
“Leo…” I called again, but then I suddenly heard a loud sneer behind me,
Slowly, I turned around to check who was behind me. He was covered massively in fresh blood, and I could smell it so strongly. His claws were dripping with blood, and he had the scariest eyes ever.
“Leo…” I called
d out loud in fright, but he rushed towards me and grabbed my neck. I could feel his claws slowly digging into my flesh, and I gasped,
“H…….h..hey, what’s going on.”
