Chapter 28
KATHERINE:
My body quivered as I sat down on my bed, and the scene of what I had just seen kept playing in my head over and over again. I kept seeing the instant were pulled out the heart of that wolf, and the lifeless bodies of those other two wolves, and cold shivers ran down my spine.
I couldn’t stop the tears that streamed down uncontrollably. All this while, I had trusted a monster? A killer? Why the hell did I not see this all this time? I tried to take a deep breath in and out, telling myself that he definitely had his reasons for doing what he did.
My body jerked a bit when I heard the sound of my doorknob, and then my door slowly unlocked. As Leo stepped into my room, my heart thumped faster, skipping beats as he took steps closer to me,
“Hey, good morning.” He uttered, and inside of me, I kept asking myself if I was insane or not, I didn’t respond, and when he realized that I was scared of him, he halted about 5 steps away from me,
“What do you want?”
“I came to check up on you. Blake told me about what happened at the company yesterday, I had him look into the company’s account, Katherine.” He uttered.
“Is that all?”
I was expecting him to talk about what happened about 2 hours ago, but he didn’t. “Would you like to go training with me before you leave for the company?”
I shook my head in negation. “No, I’ll just leave. I just want to leave right away.” I uttered, and he nodded his head. “I’ll tell Blake to get the car ready for you to leave immediately, so get ready.”
After he said this, he just kept staring at me with his hands tucked into his pocket and looking extremely hot with his hair styled hanging at the right corner of his eyes. “I’ll get going now, sorry for disturbing you” He uttered and I scoffed lowly,
Was he seriously kidding me? So he wouldn’t even talk about what happened hours ago? 1 badly wanted to hear his side of what happened, but right now it seems I had to believe Zane fully. I couldn’t be here. I had to leave. Now that I knew my children were alive, u could just leave and forget everything I held against Zane. Although he rejected me, he saved my kids.
I could just go and live my life with my children, far away from any mates, and from any pains nor betrayal.
I watched Leo walk out of the room and he shut the door behind me while 1 heaved deeply in disappointment. Right now, I don’t have a phone, but I had to get one as soon as possible so I could contact Zane.
Taking a deep breath in again, I rose to my feet and began heading towards the bathroom. A quick shower, then I would leave here for good, and be reunited with my kids again.
As I got down the stairs, Blake was waiting for me in the living room.
“Good morning, Katherine” He greeted me, but I didn’t respond to his greetings I didn’t want to
“Can I get a phone, I’m going to need it today.” I uttered bluntly, while he fluttered his brows twice, without taking his gaze away from me. He was still silent until I spoke again,
“Did you hear me? Or should I go get it myself?”
He suddenly shook his head in negation and instructed one of the maids to go get one for me. I had thought she would have to leave the mansion, but she returned in three minutes and handed me a brand–new phone
“There, just like you requested. Everything you would need is in there. Is there any other thing you need?” Blake questioned.
“No, I don’t, Can we leave now? I would love it if you dropped me right in front of the company without following me in. I’ll be doing this on my own today.”
“But.”

“That’s what I want Blake, no questions,” I responded and began to walk outside. I had no idea why I was lashing out some of my anger at him. With what I had seen earlier today. Blake just stood there watching Leo kill those people mercilessly. They really didn’t deserve that no matter what. I could hear his footsteps trailing behind me until we got to the car.
The door was opened, and I stepped in. As soon as the door was shut, the car was ignited and it drove away
About an hour later, we were right in front of the company. I didn’t need Blake to come open the door for me as usual because I stepped out of the car myself with my bag and began walking in. I had not even bothered sparing him a look and when I got in. I turned back in a haste to check if Blake was following me or not. If he knew, then he would certainly not let me leave. Leo would certainly not reject me even if I begged him to and so the only option I had left was to run away.
“Excuse me, is there a back exit here? Where can I find it?” I questioned one of the workers passing by, and once the location was directed to me, I began to walk as fast as my legs could carry me. I would turn hack every ten seconds to check on Blake. After 10 more minutes of walking, I finally found another exit.
Staring back one last time, I took a deep breath in, and the moment I stepped out through the exit door, I shut it behind me and continued walking
Hopefully, I still recall Zane’s number. It wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t forget it so quickly. As I dialed it, I placed the phone close to my ear but didn’t stop walking.
“Hello.” Zane’s voice sounded on the phone, and I answered immediately,
“Zane, where are you? I’m ready, please, take me to my babies.”
