Chapter <b>25</b>
ZANE:
A knock was rasped on my door, and it brought me back from my thoughts immediately. “Come in,” I uttered, and when the door was opened, my secretary walked in.
“Sir, the contract has arrived. When you sign it, I’ll forward it to thepany immediately. She came towards the table and dropped it while I took it.
<b>“</b>Alright, I’ll sign it today before leaving the office,” I uttered, and after she nodded her head, she walked away. I couldn’t help but think back again to what Jane <b>had </b><b>said</b>. Why was it so <b>hard</b>? Does this mean I already forgave Katherine after what she did to my father? I couldn’t forgive that bitch, not in this lifetime.
I heaved deeply, picking my phone up and turning it on. I could only think back on our good memories, and everything Katherine and I ever <b>shared</b>. Slightly rubbing my forehead, I badly wanted to discard these memories for good, but it was hard. Heaven knows how much I loved and cherished Katherine with everything in me. When I found out that an Omega with no family recognition was my mate, I didn’t judge her because what I saw in Katherine was more than that.
She was an angel, and 1 had the feeling she was everything I needed in a mate. Even my father’s disapproval was never going to stop me from marrying her, but now… I heaved deeply again as I couldn’t even think of whatever feelings I had buried in my heart.
It would only be fair if she paid for what she did to my pack and my father.
My eyes fell on the contract, and I had <b>to </b>scan through it. This was an opportunity to build a life with Jane and to make the pack stronger. I knew the pack’s wealth would increase tenfold after this contract. My phone rang and when I took my gaze to it, I saw it was Jane calling
Wasting just a little time, I thought once again about what I was about to do, and with one final thought, I decided, <b>and </b>answered the call,
“Hey<b>, </b>love.”
“Hey. Did you get everything ready?” I questioned Jane. We had nned everything yesterday, and today I had to y my partContent rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.
“We really can’t mess this up, Zane. Katherine is a threat to the pack, <b>and </b><b>she’s </b>a threat to your creditability. As long as she’s still out there, then your father would never get the justice that he deserves?
The very first day I saw my father in his pool of blood, it was like the pit of hell. I knew he hated me so much for taking Katherine as my <b>mate </b>and Luna of the pack, but it was at that moment I realized he was never wrong. He only saw the other side of Katherine that I was too blind to see.
“When the timees, Till kill her myself, that’s the best I can do for my father, and for the pack. This time, I won’t hesitate to take her life at once. <b>I </b>uttered
“That’s what I want to hear, Zane. Your father would want this, and he would be very proud of you wherever he is. Once this is over, he’ll get the peace he deserves, and we’ll grow the <b>pack </b>just like he <b>always </b>wanted, you and I
I kept quiet, “We’ll grow the pack together, just you and I, our kids as a big family” I recalled these were the words I said to Katherine when we had just figured out she was pregnant and she was still scared about my father’s disapproval of her as <b>Luna</b>. If only I knew the pregnancy was never mine from the beginning. I wanted a life with Katherine.
The call ended and I dropped my phone back on the table. Why the hell were all these memories hitting me so hard today? Why today <b>of </b>all days because it seems I keep thinking about our good memories together. I rubbed my forehead again and picked up the contract paper. It was time to read through and sign the contract.
KATHERINE-
“Aren’t you going to <b>eat</b>?” I heard Leo’s voice and cocked my head at him. I <b>had </b>no idea what to think about what <b>had </b>happened at thepany. Leo secretly owned thatpany, and that meant, he was also running its <b>affairs </b>in the past.
Did he really know about the inhumane treatment those board members were inflicting on the <b>public</b>? Or was he <b>only </b>pretending to be good just to me alone because I was his mate? I was just realizing that I had no idea who the hell Leo was or
what kind of a man he was on the outside.
I heaved and dropped my fork on <b>the </b>table. Why do I keep trusting people? I had seen it clearly- the monster he had turned into when he attacked Zane and here I was trusting him. Right now, it <b>was </b>best to be alone,
“I’m not hungry. I need to go upstairs and have some rest.” I uttered<b>, </b><b>still </b>staring at him. He was silent for about a minute, then he responded, “Alright, if you need anything, <b>a </b>ma..”
“No. I don’t think I would be needing anything. I’d like it if no one came into my room tonight, I really had a stressful day today” Once he nodded his head, I rose to my feet and began to walk towards the stairs<b>. </b>As I got to my room, I shut the door and headed for my bed.
Why the hell was my life like this? I knew I still needed his help if I was going to survive in this world because Jane and Zane would never stop looking for me to kill me. Leo was the only person that could protect me right now so part of my options wasn’t leaving him<b>.</b>
Feeling ufortable in my dress, I rose from the bed and <b>began </b><b>to </b>take off my clothes one after the other. Once I was done, I heard a familiar voice,
“You’re still as pretty <b>as </b>I remember, Katherine.”
I cocked my head towards the direction of the window and found Zane standing on it. How the hell did he even get here? I nearly yelled out loud for help, but his words stopped <b>me</b>,
“I’m not here to hurt you, Katherine, I’m here to talk.”
