Chapter 45
ALPHA ZANE:
I sat close to Jane, watching her sleep peacefully,
What if something had happened to her? I realized I should have been more careful with my words yesterday, but the files ! had received yesterday kept bothering me. How the hell was Katherine in the hospital an hour after the time my father died?
There were pictures and medical records, so there was no way I couldn’t believe it. Did someone try to frame her for killing my father! And once again, who the hell sent those things to me yesterday? What about the pictures and the footage of her killing my father?
“Zane?” Jane called weakly and I immediately snapped out of my thoughts,
“Hey, hey calm down okay, I’m here.”
She gasped. “The baby!”
“We’ll have another baby, okay? The doctor said you’ve been stressing yourself so much, and after the shock, you had a miscarriage. Are you alright?”
“No! No! No, Zane, I can’t lose my baby. How can I lose my baby, Zane, it isn’t fair. This isn’t supposed to happen to me, I don’t deserve this please.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Tm sorry.”
“It’s all Katherine’s fault. She caused this and you still have the guts to think about her. If it wasn’t for that crazy Lycan and Katherine, I wouldn’t have lost my baby.”
Jane, Katherine has nothing to do with this okay” I had no idea when I said those words to her. Before I could process what I had just said, a slap went across my face,
“It’s mine. I should have protected you and the baby..”
I watched as tears rolled down Jane’s eyes. “You’re going to take the blame for her? What the hell is wrong with you Zane? I have no idea what Katherine did to you, but this isn’t you. This isn’t my husband. This isn’t the man who promised to be strong and revenge his father’s death right in front of his grave. This isn’t you Zane, it isn’t
Jane was right. This wasn’t me, but I had a lot of doubt. I had no idea when it all started, but I think it was after I went to see Katherine at the Blood Moon Pack that night. Seeing her live the life I wanted to always give her hurt me so much because it
I realized that Katherine’s happiness was something I wanted to give her, and not someone else. Right there, I wished I had just eloped with her 2 years ago instead of staying in the pack.
wasn’t me.
Everything felt like the home we wanted to build together, except I wasn’t there by her side. That freak doesn’t deserve Katherine. He would use and hurt her.
“Tm sorry about the baby, Jane. How do I make it up to you?”
“Make it up to me? Well, you can start by killing Katherine first so I can have peace of mind. Do do to me because you chose me after rejecting her?”
you have
any idea what she’ll
Jane, I can’t.”
I watched her chuckle, and then she pulled out the drip from her hand, “I need to get out of here. Don’t you trail behind me, Zane! I’m going home.” She said I sat down wherever I was without moving. As soon as she slammed the door, I turned around to stare at the door.
A lot of things weren’t just right with Jane, and I had to find out every bit of them. She wanted Katherine dead so desperately, why?
KATHERINE
Blake was waiting for me, meaning I had just thirty minutes to get done and be outside. I wore a burgundy red fitted outside that had soft feathers around my neckline the tip of my arms reaching my knee level, and black heels.
These were parts of the stuff Leo had gotten me weeks ago when we went shopping, and by the look of whatever was on my body. I could tell it cost a fortune. I stood right in front of the mirror and smiled widely at myself.
For a couple of days, all I felt was peace. I was far away from the people who cost me so much pain, and months ago, I never thought I would see myself smile again after everything was taken away from me in one night. My kids were in a better place, I was certain of it, and I had that peace that I desired once again, except I was still going to make Jane suffer, and I was still going to prove my innocence to Zane.
1 let out a deep breath and picked up a brush so I could comb my hair to be perfect. Once I was done, I placed the comb back on the table and kept staring at myself. I could see the old me again. The Katherine who always wanted nothing more than an average life, my own family, a protective mate, and kids around me.
When I recalled what Leo had said to me yesterday, my cheeks flushed crimson red again and I chuckled. I stared down at the lipstick, and the powder then I picked up the lipstick. I hardly do this, but let’s give it a try today.
The last touch made my lips glow red. I could see a different me right in front of the mirror. I applied some powder on my face and brushed my brows a bit. I was looking so different, and deep down I hoped Leo would like it,
“Don’t think about it, he’s going to hear you,” I told myself and took a deep breath in. As soon as I was done, I hurried for my bag and began to walk out of the room,
Blake was the only person in the living room when I got downstairs, and the moment he saw me, he rose to his feet,
“Well, you’re 10 minutes early. Shall we? The car’s waiting outside.” He said, but I kept turning my head sideways,
“Are you looking for something!”
“Where’s Leo?”
“He went out for morning fresh air. Is there any message you would like to pass on to him? I could help you do it,”
I frowned deeply.
“No, thank you. Let’s leave. It wasn’t worth it anyway.” 1 muttered the last words to myself and began walking away as I didn’t want Blake to see the expression on my face. I was disappointed, and maybe hurt a little.
The car door was opened and just before I could step in, I heard Leo’s voice, “Katherine. He called my name,
I turned around to stare at him,
“How did you…
“Were you looking for me?” Leo questioned and I smiled at him, praying silently that he had noticed the change in my look today.
I walked away from the car and rushed towards him, “Yes, I was looking for you.” I had decided to admit that to him. I held his hand, raising my head to stare at his face because he was taller,
“How do I look? The question came rushing out of my mouth.
