Chapter 19
KATHERINE-
We headed back home with all the numerous things that Leo had gotten me and staring at them, I still couldn’t believe that he would buy me things like this. He barely knew me for a month and the only connection he had with me was that I was his
male.
There was a knock on my door, and when I gave permission, the door opened and Leo walked right in.
“Hey, Katherine.” He called, but I didn’t smile back. Thank you so much for everything. It’s a lot, so much.” I uttered first because that was all I could think of, but he chuckled.
“Dinner will be ready in an hour, care to join us? We could discuss everything you need to know about the company before
tomorrow.”
I nodded my head in agreement as I loved the fact Leo was trying to get me ready. “I’ll be down after taking my bath and setting all of this in order.”
“A maid would
and walked up everything. Once you take your bath, you should come downstairs. After saying this, he turned around
of the room while I kept staring at the door. I had no idea whether I was ready for this or not, but it didn’t matter. What mattered most was the reason why I was doing all of this. I rose to my feet and headed for the bathroom because I had just an hour to get ready and be downstairs
After drowning my body in the warm water for 20 minutes, I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel tied around my waist and found something simple to wear since it was night. As I turned to walk out of my room, I heard a sound around the window and turned to look at it.
The same sound came again, and I could swear I saw a shadow before it vanished. “Is someone there?” My legs were frozen al my spot and I couldn’t move but my eyes were glued to the window. Maybe it was a bird or something. I walked towards the window to shut it, but just as I held the knob, I felt a pull on my arm from behind and before I could scream, a towel drenched with an intoxicating substance was used to cover my mouth to prevent me from screaming. Still struggling. I could the strong smell of wolfsbane, and struggling with whoever was holding me was in vain.
When I couldn’t struggle anymore nor scream for help, I weakly let my body fall on his arms before passing out.

ALPHA LEO
“Brother!! Brother Brother! I heard Tanya’s voice but didn’t bother raising my head to spare her a glance. What the hell was she even doing here?
“Brother!” She yelled again before rushing into my room without knocking. With my eyes still fixated on my phone, I heaved deeply. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“What is it, Tanya? Haven’t you heard the word knock before? My voice was rather very calm with her because, with my little sister, there was no use shouting. Every soul out there feared me except Tanya, and she was always a troublemaker.
“Brother there’s an emergency? Something’s wrong somewhere and 1 saw it. I didn’t see her face, but I saw her struggling for help. She’s here.” I raised my head to stare at Tanya the moment she said this, but there wasn’t a panicking expression on my
face.
“Is this one of your little games? Don’t tell me you came all the way from college just to play a prank on me. I was no longer finding whatever she was saying funny as I spoke coldly.
“It’s not..
Since Tanya had left my door open, Blake rushed in cutting her off immediately.
“Alpha, Katherine’s gone.”
Hearing those words, it felt like my heart had dropped down to my stomach from my chest as I stared at Blake. “Who’s Katherine?” Tanya questioned, and when I returned to my senses, I rose to my feet and ran out of my room, heading towards Katherine’s room. The door had been broken down by Blake earlier, and when I walked in, everywhere was filled with smoke which had the strong smell of wolfsbane. Being a Lycan, I wasn’t affected by the smell of wolfsbane,
“Brother, are you alright?” I heard Tanya’s voice from behind me. It was impossible for Blake to come in here because he was simply a beta, and so the wolfsbane was poisonous to him. Turning my eyes red, I walked over to the window and saw it was open. I sniffled,
“Damn it, rogues.” The words tore out of my mouth, and without wasting time, I rushed out of the room. I could feel Bolt’s anger, and he could tear any damn thing apart right now. Same with me.
“Blake, hurry, send a message. Every corner of the pack should be guarded immediately. The smell is still very fresh so they couldn’t have gone far with her.”
I had no idea how the hell they got in here, but whoever these rogues were, they were really smart to have outsmarted the securities around. “If any finger is laid on her, I swear I’m going to burn that bastard alive immediately.” I yelled, and immediately sped away hurrying outside the mansion. I could trace the scent of the rogues.
Tanya had earlier taken Katherine’s clothes so she could find her scent with it, but I was faster than her. I halted right in the middle of the road leading to the forest, and sniffed the air, “This way.” I could hear Bolt’s voice as he desperately wanted to find her too. I rushed into the forest without wasting further time and then halted. The same scent was so close but I couldn’t hear any sound or heartbeat. I was slowly starting to lose patience as I stopped to look around.
Just as I was about to take a step, I suddenly felt one of my feet on something.
“Fuck!!” It was a trap. How the fucking hell were they even able to do all of this here. They couldn’t be just a few, they had to be much to achieve all of this. If I stepped away from the trap, then my legs would be chopped off in a second. Katherine was all I could think about. As my eyes turned red, I was able to see a cloth hanging on a tree that wasn’t so far from me, and then I realized that I had been fooled to follow the scent to a different place. This made me so fucking angry, but I couldn’t move.
With Bolt raging inside of me, I howled so loud, releasing my full beast to the world.
