Chapter 89
ALPHA ZANE;
As soon as I was done, I stepped out of my study and headed straight for the living room where Jane and her mother were still seated,
“Hey is everything alright?”
“Yes. Your dad did give me some nice advice after all.”
I smiled,
“I’m ready for dinner Jane, come on.”
I took her hand and we began to walk toward the dining together,
“Take a seat baby,” Jane said.
I could see her gaze constantly moving to her dad every minute and I could tell that she was worried about something. She must be curious about what we discussed there,
“I had a disappointing day today,” I said trying to take her mind away from what I thought she was thinking for her gaze away from the living room,
“Mom, I think you two should probably go to bed now. Dad must be tired.” Jane yelled, and I watched her parents stand on their feet,
“Alright… Goodnight baby.”
“Goodnight sweetheart.”
“Good night son.”
Jane’s father didn’t bother greeting me and I was sure she must have noticed it.
“So what were you saying? I didn’t want my parents to hear our conversation. You said you didn’t have a good day, what went wrong?”
“The meeting with the CEO of the company canceled the meeting. I had high expectations this time around, but again…”
“It’s fine baby. Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day okay? We’ll just keep trying even if it takes a long we’ll
get there.”
You don’t understand, Jane. This is my wish. This is k… “I paused. I couldn’t let her know that this was Katherine’s wish and I was doing this because of her
“I really need this to work for the company. We’ll get recognized once it does, and that’s all I want.”
She came towards me and kissed my forehead,
“Patience is the key, Zane, patience.” She uttered,
“Now it’s time to eat. You must be really hungry.” She said, and I picked up my fork.
“What would I do without you, baby,” I said with a deep smile and began eating.
“I’ll head up to check up on my parents now okay, I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

Chapter 89
I nodded my head and watched as she ran up the stairs heading towards her parent’s room and the only thing I could do was smile.
There was something wrong. Something was fishy, and I was going to uproot every damn secret that they had under their sleeves with time.
Until then, I needed to keep being the sweet and loving husband she knew.
ALPHA LEO:
I stared at the building over and over again. It held so many horrible memories. Where my mother had almost abandoned me with a family when she couldn’t take it anymore…
“You’re no longer my son. You’re not a Lycan. You’re not a Donovan. You don’t have what it takes to be one so you’re going to be here. Hopefully, your twin brother will be able to take over the pack. He’s strong like your father and Tanya’s just like me. But you…. I have no idea who you took after. Your father’s beginning to think I had an affair outside to give birth to you, Leo, how’s that even possible?”
“Mom, please don’t let me go. I’m sorry, I’ll try harder!
“Shut your mouth you useless thing. Try harder for what? You keep saying that, but you’re nothing. You’ll never be good enough for anyone, especially not me and your father. I’m sorry Leo, but when your father wakes up, he’ll think you were killed by rogues. Know that I’m only doing this for your siblings. I need to give them a good life and a great pack. I’m sorry son.’
An old man stepped out of the house that day and picked me up.
He held me tight while my mother let go of me as I was in his grip, I watched her walk away without uttering a word or even turning back to look at
me she spared me not even one glance and at that moment, I vowed to do whatever it
took to become everything they believed I was never going to become.
I saw my opportunity when Tristan made a huge mistake,
I couldn’t take a step in there because that was my hell.
That building held a lot of memories.
It held so many memories from my past that I didn’t want to recall even though it was where I had become stronger. It was where I had vowed to make myself stronger no matter what.
I realized that Tristan had part of his Lycan genes earlier than I did, and it was normally because I because 10 times stronger when mine slowly began to fall into place
I kept staring at the building.
It was late, and I knew Katherine was in there.
I could feel her presence from where I was standing, and it didn’t seem like she was in any sort of danger.
I was about to take a step from where I was standing when I suddenly heard the door open,
“No, that can’t be. That’s a f*cking lie..Leo would never do that. I need to talk to him myself.“.
I heard before Katherine stepped out of the house…
Tanya’s voice came next,
2/3
“Katherine, wait, please wait. You’ll be given a chance to talk to Leo yourself but not this time. Once the sun is up, we’ll let you go and you can have this conversation with him. I promise that we’re not lying to your Katherine, we would never lie to you about anything, so why don’t you trust me and come back in…”
“I can…”
“I’m here Katherine. You wanna see me, I’m here,” I stepped out of my hiding place and began to walk towards the entrance where they could see me,
Tanya and Katherine were surprised to see me, but Tristan wasn’t.
It’s been more than 3 f*cking years since I saw him last.
1 scoffed at his look and took my gaze away from him after a few seconds,
Ask me whatever you want to ask me, and I’ll answer you.”
