Chapter 21
ZANE:
“I’m serious, baby, I’m damn serious. It’s still so hard to believe, but I finally did it.” My arms were wrapped around her waist as I spoke.
“I’m so happy for you, Zane. This is progress, you’re going big and I can see it.” Jane replied, and I kissed her lips before letting go of her waist,
“Tell me whatever you want, Jane. I’ll do it. Although I knew the reason for this was Katherine’s advice, I was willing to make Jane take the credit for it because she deserved it for sticking to my side when everything was so tough for me.
“Nothing. Zane. Absolutely nothing. Seeing you happy is more than enough for me, and seeing you progress is where my real happiness is. I just want to spend the rest of my life beside you, and grow the pack together.”
I smile at her, telling myself that she has to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I always thought it was Katherine, but every day, Jane keeps proving me wrong,
“Thank you, my love. Thank you for being there for me. We’ll start a big family together soon. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” I responded, making her chuckle, “Tll go get the drinks okay.”
I watched her leave the room, while I walked towards the drawer to get a file. Just as I opened the drawer and picked out the file, a photo fell As I picked it up, I figured out it was Katherine’s, and seeing it made my blood boil. When I first met Katherine, I never thought I would be able to hate her for the rest of my life, but her real identity had proved me wrong.
Then, I recalled Killian’s words to me earlier today when we had both gone out for a drink. I scoffed aloud, squeezing the photo in my hand into a ball, and threw it aside very far away from me. Alpha Leo must have thought that he won already, but it was far from it. I knew most of Katherine’s weaknesses, and I knew exactly what to lure her where I wanted her to be.
“It’s here…” Jane’s voice sounded, and I cocked my head back to stare at her. She was holding the bottle of wine and the two glasses on a tray. She dropped it on the table, and came towards me…
“We’ll have a few glasses, and tonight we’ll have the best night of our lives, what do you say baby?” I watched her chuckle, with her fingers trailing lines on my chest as she bit her lower lips seductively. I cupped her face with my hand, and drew her lips closer to him,
“Trust me, we’ll have the best night of our lives, cause I’m going to make it worth every second.” I smiled back at her but we were interrupted by the sound of Jane’s phone ringing “Excuse me. She uttered, and I let go of her immediately.
As soon as she picked up her phone, she turned it off, avoiding the call.
“What’s wrong? Is everything alright?”
me
“Yes, baby. It’s just my mother calling She came towards me, and wrapped my arms around her waist, letting me bring my ear close to her lips, “Guess what, she wants grandchildren.”
BLOOD MOON PACK
ALPHA LEO:
“Here brother, it’s a glass of water, Tanya uttered, standing behind me as she outstretched the glass towards me, but I refused to let my gaze away from Katherine who was still unconscious and sleeping.
“She’s fine, trust me. The pack doctor said she’s going to be awake soon, so look after yourself as well. You haven’t moved an inch away from here for hours.” She went silent, but continued,
“I still can’t believe you found your fated mate after so long, and just what we needed most, she got into danger on the first day I was supposed to meet her. Tanya continued, but she was cut off by Blake’s presence in the room.
“Did you find any of those bastards?” I questioned still without taking my gaze away from Katherine. I was trying so hard to my head right where I was seated because thinking about the fact that I had almost lost her was driving me nuts,
clear
“No, not yet. The rest of them are dead in the woods, and there is no trace of whoever their leader was. We’ll keep looking Alpha.” I clutched my hands into a ball hoping that I would lash out at any innocent person for the anger I was feeling inside of
“Keep looking, Blake, and when you find any of those bastards, bring them to me. I’m gonna kill them myself. A few seconds. later, the door was shut, and 1 didn’t need to look back to know that Blake had left the room, but Tanya was still standing behind me,
“What are you doing here Tanya? You know where you’re supposed to be. I didn’t turn to look at her as I spoke. Tanya was the last person I wanted to vent my anger on at the moment,
“I came to see you, brother. I came to warn you about your mate because somehow I could see that she was in danger. I have no idea what kind of wolf she is, but I couldn’t see her face and it never happened before.” Tanya’s words sank deep inside my head when I heard them. She couldn’t see Katherine’s face in her vision just like I couldn’t read Katherine’s mind the first day 1 met her.
“She’s fine now, and it’s time to go back, sister, I uttered.
“Can’t you not send me away so quick? How long has it been now? 3 years and I haven’t seen you, Leo. It’s been three long years. Do you still think about it?”
I gritted my teeth silently when I heard her and shut my eyes for a few seconds, “You shouldn’t remind me about the wrong things at the wrong time, Tanya. You have three days to leave the pack immediately, and if you fail, you know what happens next.” I uttered and rose to my feet I turned around to face her, and she stared at me in disappointment. I could see her hazel eyes staring at mine just like years ago, but I took my gaze away from her immediately and began walking away,
“Brot…
Before Tanya could complete my name, I turned around to face her again, this time growling,
“You know the risk you’re taking by staying here, Tanya, so it’s best you leave when I ask you to, I uttered and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind me. I wasn’t doing this for myself but for her. This was my way of trying to protect my little sister.
SUND GIFT
KATHERINE:
“You’re awake.”
My eyes flung open immediately I saw the figure so close to me, and I almost yelled out loud for help, “Take it easy, you’re fine Katherine.” She uttered, but I arched my brows surprisingly at her. How did she even know my name?
“Who are you? Where am I? I thought I..
It suddenly dawned on me that the last name I had called before passing out was Leo’s.
“Where’s Leo?”
“Take it easy, Kath, you really need to breathe in and out first before asking further questions.”
“Who are you?”
“That’s right, one at a time. She responded with a smile widely outstretched on her lips, but I didn’t return the smile. At least I would if I knew who exactly she was. She suddenly outstretched her hand towards me for an introductory handshake, and it took me a few seconds to reciprocate,
“I’m Tanya, and here’s my wolf, Tamia” Her eyes changed their colors to gold with a mixture of brownish green, and I couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
“Oh my goodness, what kind of wolf is she? She’s nothing like I’ve ever seen before.” I had no idea when I gave a response, it made her chuckle,
“Do you wanna see her?”
Out of curiosity, I nodded my head, and she rose to her feet. “Can you stand, or do you need help?
“I’ll stand, I uttered and slowly rose to my feet. She took me towards the mirror and stood in front. Right there, her wolf suddenly appeared, and I gasped even louder,
and
Her furs were almost the colors of her eyes, but this time overshadowed with golden colors, and even more beautiful than 1 had imagined it to be when I first saw her eyes,
“Tamia says hi to you, Katherine. She likes you already. Tanya uttered and turned sideways to face me. Her eyes had changed back to normal, but her smile had not faded.
“How did you even know my name?”
“Aren’t you my brother’s mate?” She responded so sharply and took a few steps away from me, and when I turned to stare at her, the door opened revealing Leo at the entrance. As soon as he spotted me, he ran towards me and pulled me into a tight embrace worriedly, but I groaned a little in pain,
“When did you wake? How do you feel? Is it all gone from your system?”
I knew he was talking about the wolfsbane, so I nodded my head. “It is. Thank you for saving me. Your si…” I watched as Tanya shook her head in negation just as I was about to talk to Leo about her, and I immediately kept quiet as I knew that was what she was trying to tell me. Because of this, Leo turned around to stare at her,
“What are you doing here Tanya?” He questioned coldly, and it made me wonder if he had a good relationship with his sister.
“To see if she was awake. I knew she was going to be awake by this time so I came in earlier.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“It’s fine, she just checked up on me. Thank you.‘ I said to Tanya and began to walk towards the bed to take my seat.
“I’ll leave you two now, but we’ll catch up more, Katherine,” Tanya said and waved at me before walking out of the room. Before she did, she received a cold glare from Leo,
“Don’t you like your sister?” I was forced to ask him the question after seeing the way he treated her, but he responded, “Let’s not talk about her. Did you see the face of who nabbed you? Did you recognize him or anything about that bastard, I just need a description of any…” I touched his arm to calm him down,
“That’s exactly what they want you to do, Leo. If this was Jane or Zane, then this is exactly what they want your reaction to be.
1/2
“And what if they had succeeded in hurting you, Katherine? You almost died.”
“But I didn’t. You came just in time to save me, so I didn’t. Don’t start a fight with the blue crest pack, at least not now because you know exactly what I want, I heaved deeply and paused before I continued,
“His face was masked so I couldn’t see his face.
Leo was silent as he rose to his feet and began walking towards the wall while I watched him. As soon as he got there, his hands aided him to stand as he outstretched it towards the wall and I knew this was him trying to calm himself down. If Leo goes to the blue crest pack, then I knew he would kill Zane and my step–sister, and I didn’t want that, at least not yet.
The next sound I heard was the heavy blow sound of the wall when he hit it so hard with his fist, and I jerked in a little fright “Leo,” I called out, but the moment I rose to my feet he stormed out of the room leaving me in shock as I stared at the deep holes the effect his blow had created on the wall.
BLUE CREST PACK
LUNA JANE
“What the fucking hell do you mean you lost her to him you fucking dumb ass!” I yelled at him, slowly losing my patience and wanting badly to aim at his face.
“You could have just killed her and killed yourself the moment things went wrong. What the hell were you thinking Jackson.”
“I’m so sorry, I was going to do it, but there was someone else. He wasn’t alone, and she was j
just as powerful as him.”
“She?” I let out a loud scoff taking my gaze away from him, and back at him after a second or more. “You let a fucking lady take you down? Are you stupid or what? A lady”
“She was no ordinary lady or no ordinary wolf. She was fast, with strength, and very skillful. I have no idea who she was, but before I escaped I saw her face. She looks a little just like him”
I heaved deeply.
“I think she’s his sister. That would explain her strength and her skills.”
“Don’t be stupid, Alpha Leo doesn’t have a sister or any family left behind. At least none that anyone knows ab seen. I scolded Jackson, but deep down, I thought about what he had just said.
or has ever
“I’ll give you one last chance to make things right, and if you don’t then do not fucking blame me for what’s going to happen next. Your sister’s life depends on how good you do or how perfect you get the work done right?”
No nodded his head, and I began to walk away. I was feeling frustrated already because the damn plan didn’t work, but that wasn’t the end yet. I had something else under my sleeve, but I wouldn’t do it alone,
It was time for Zane to lend a helping hand, after all, he wanted her dead too.
