Chapter 55
KATHERINE:
Everything happened so fast, from the house to the party. I didn’t believe that I would be out here today with Leo at such an event, but here I was.
1 stared at myself in the half–sized mirror nailed to the wall of the restroom, trying as hard as possible not to let a tear drop from my eyes after what I had heard.
“I do hope she’s one hell of a strong wolf, a Beta, or better still an Alpha with a great reputation. That’s all you need Leo.” Those words rang in my cars over and over again without realizing tears clung to the brim of my eyes. I felt hurt, knowing that I was just an Omega and more importantly, I had no family reputation.
The only person I had, my mother was gone, and my mom would never count me as his daughter. Did Leo really need a strong wolf by his side? Then I
A sudden knock was rasped on the door making me flinch a bit,
“Katherine, are you alright in there? Do you need anything! Hey, I just want to know if you’re alright?”
That was Leo’s voice and sadly it was able to comfort me. Why was he so good to me when I obviously wasn’t what he needed in a mate? A feeling of pain coursed through my body when I recalled that, and I heaved deeply.
The memories of what I had to pass through just to become Zane’s Luna hit me hard. I was an Omega without my family’s recognition and his father wasn’t ready to accept that about me because according to him, the pack would only filter away like a dead flower if I became his Luna. Thankfully, his love for me prevailed and despite his father’s warning, Zane still chose me.
I’m fine, Leo, 1 responded, trying to clean my eyes so Lea wouldn’t notice anything different.
“Katherine, please come out. If you’re alright, then I want to see you.”
“You should go, Leo, I’ll be out in a few minutes, I uttered because I knew with the condition of my eyes, Leo would find out that I had cried or that those words had gotten to me bad, and I didn’t want that to happen.
“I’m gonna break this door, Katherine.”
I flinched a little because I knew he could do it and nobody would question it. “And you know I’ll come in there and get you if you don’t let me see you” He uttered, making me heave deeply. The only option was to open the door like he had told me to.
I stared at myself one more time in the mirror and turned towards the door.
“Kat…”
“Please give me a second, okay,” I uttered and began to walk towards the door. As I got to the entrance and held the door knob, I steady my breath, telling myself that I had to tell Leo I was alright no matter what, afterall, I was never meant to be important to him. I was never meant to start growing something little inside of me for him,
I twisted the doorknob and opened the door, but before I could raise my gaze at him, his hand pulled me into a tight hug and he wrapped his arms around my body,
“You do know how to be stubborn and make me damn worried‘ He uttered to me without breaking the hug,
I could feel my heart pounding so fast, and the plan to keep my breath steady wasn’t working anymore. This ignited many more emotions than I had expected,
“Leo. Iit’s too tight.” I managed to utter before he broke the hug and pulled me into the restroom. In a second, my back was on the wall, and I was trapped in between his arms,
“Right now, I’m choosing not to ask for your permission.” He said.
I didn’t understand what he meant by that, but before I could even start to think about it, he slammed his lips on mine, making me unable to shut my eyes. I wasn’t in my right senses because I let him do it.. I liked it… why did I like it?
His eyes were closed, but not mine and I could feel his tongue in my mouth, but the extreme shock traveling inside my body wouldn’t let me reciprocate the kiss. He suddenly broke the kiss, and I heard him heave deeply,
“I’m taking you out of this damn party right now.” He said when he saw the expression on my face, but I didn’t flinch immediately until I swallowed a lump of saliva,
“Leo.”
He swept me off my feet and began to walk towards the door with me in his arms,
Leo knew another entrance out of the party so he took it till he got outside
“Can you put me down now?”
“Not until we get to the car.” He said.
When we got to the car, he brought me down and I looked away, entering the car,
“What’s wrong, is everything alright? The pa
party..”
“Get in the car and let’s leave this darn place, Blake,” Leo ordered before he got in.
As Blake ignited the car, I didn’t say anything even as he was riding. I still couldn’t believe Leo had kissed me minutes ago. This had to be a dream, yes, it wasn’t real
Blake took another turn, and I arched my brows when I noticed it, “What’s wrong Blake, why aren’t you heading toward the pack?” 1 questioned,
“I’m heading to the motel. I already had it booked about an hour ago, and it’s impossible to cancel it.”
“What! But, it isn’t too late. It’s still very possible to head back to the pack right?” I questioned and cocked my head towards Leo. How the hell would I go to a motel with him? A few hours ago, it wasn’t sounding so uncomfortable, but right now, after what happened, I was pretty sure it would become so uncomfortable. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“A total of 30 million dollars was spent for everything.”
I widened my eyes in shock when I heard such an amount of money, “What?” I said, and cocked my head towards Leo again,
“Blake, cancel the..”
“No!” I yelled, making them both flinch in shock. “How can you cancel it? Didn’t you hear what he said earlier, the money is not refundable Leo.”
When I was done, I cocked my head towards Blake, “Let’s head there Blake,” I said, and then sat down properly with my head turned sideways to my window,
“It’s just for a night, Katherine, and that’s all, you’ve got to endure this,” I said inwardly to myself before shutting my eyes to rest a bit.
