Chapter 114
KATHERINE-
“Leo.‘ I called his name softly, my eyes still fixated on his,
“Please, let’s talk.”
“What are you doing here Katherine?” He questioned. By this time, everyone had stopped whatever they were doing and their gazes were fixated on us,
“I just want us to talk, that’s all. I acted wrong one month ago when I didn’t believe you even after everything you for me. I should have trusted you most at least, but I was scared. I was scared of holding onto another person and having my heart shattered again.”
did
“Take her out of here so the training can continue,” Leo ordered and when I turned my head back, Blake was standing a few inches behind me,
“No. I’m not going anywhere until I tell you how I feel about you, Leo, please let me.” I uttered when Blake came towards me. He held my arm, but I forced his grip away from me,
“I don’t know why I spent so much time pretending that I didn’t care, I guess I just didn’t want to feel like this again.” I fluttered my lashes twice so my tears wouldn’t remain on them,
“But I can’t anymore. I love you. I don’t know how, but I’m totally, completely in love with you, Leo, I really am and I don’t care if you push me away a million times, I’m not going to stop. I don’t care if it’s too late or if you hate me for not trusting you, I’m telling you anyway.” I paused to catch my breath,
“Everyone leave,” Leo ordered, and everyone began to walk away one after the other,
“Except you, Caroline.”
I turned my head to see who he had called Caroline and noticed it was the blonde–haired lady I had admired earlier and she was still standing at the field,
“Do you really wanna test me?” He said to me and I heard Blake call his name from behind me,
“Alpha Did he know what Leo was going to do??
“Do whatever you want Leo, but don’t push me away. I know how you feel about me. I know you love me…”
“You need to see why I keep pushing you away Katherine. Step on the field.”
I swallowed nothing down my throat and walked towards the field, then Leo headed back to where he was seated,
“Begin…” he yelled, leaving me with a confused expression.
“You disrupted a training Katherine, you should replace the opponent. Here’s one thing, if you take her down, you stay in the pack and I’ll agree that I was wrong for calling you weak.”
What the hell was Leo trying to do!
There was no damn way I would be a match for her and he knew that. I had seen her fight, and her skills were pretty good.
“No, I’m not going to do it. Her voice came in when I was about to say something and I cocked my head toward her, “This is a test alpha Leo, and not some…”
“You have 5 minutes. Caroline, this is one of your tests and you cannot say no to it. If you don’t wanna do it, then walk away and I’ll take that as a defeat.
Where was the Leo I knew in the past? How come he suddenly grew so cold to a man that I could no longer recognize,
I let my tears fall freely from my eyes as I clutched my fingers into a fist wishing I was a strong wolf.
“I’m not going to do this. It’s clear enough she doesn’t want this either. I’m sorry, but I can’t carry on the tests to be
your…
“I’ll do it. I cut her off.
I finally understood what all of this was all about.
This was a test to choose the Luna of the Blood Moon pack. Like I had guessed, Leo wasn’t in love with her either and he was doing this all because of his pack.
“No, you don’t. This isn’t what you want, Katherine.”
She even knew my name. What more did she know about me,
“Yes, I do,” I responded.
“Begin.”
“I don’t want to hurt you. I heard her say, but I didn’t give her another chance to speak before I rushed towards her with my fist, she dodged my blow and went behind me,
“I guess I have no other choice.”
Before I could turn back, she punched me hard in the face, and I felt a liquid sliding down my nose,
“Fuck, are you okay?”
“Katherine,” Blake called, but I stopped him when I yelled,
“Don’t come close Blake, I can handle this myself.”
I had no idea what happened to me, or why I had said this. Thankfully, she was distracted and I was able to land a blow on her abdomen. I heard a scream and halted almost immediately, scared that I had hurt her more than I had expected, but I guess I was the fool here,
As I made to come closer, she pulled my arm when I was close enough, and dragged them behind me with a level of force that caused me excruciating pain,
Still behind me, I felt my knees weaken as she pulled my arms backward even more with her other arm gripping my neck so tight and I could feel myself slowly losing breath, Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“That’s enough!” A deep baritone voice yelled,
He rushed towards us and threw her away from me, and before I knew what was going on, I was in his arms,
“Tristan??” I called,
“You should have listened to me, Katherine. I knew you would do something stupid, but I had no idea you would be this stupid.” He muttered to me, and took his gaze away from mine,
“Take her Tristan…” I heard Leo’s voice in my weak state and at that moment, I felt it was time to give up completely. At least he didn’t reject me, but why was this even more painful?
Chapter
He was getting married and would forget about me completely.
Still, in Tristan’s arms, a tear slid down my eyes as I watched the other blonde–haired lady in his arms because she had passed out after Tristan pushed her away from me,
Leo was right after all,
I was weak and I didn’t deserve him, coupled with the fact that he was a Lycan. A kind stronger than an alpha. I wasn’t good enough for Zane so how could I be good enough for him!
Before I finally shut my eyes in Tristan’s arms, I made a decision.
A decision to become strong. Stronger than what everybody always saw me as… Stronger than the simple omega that
I was.
I would not lose in this battle.
