Chapter 17
ALPHA KING LEO
I watched Katherine effortlessly punch the bag like her life depended on it and I knew it was to take away the pain she was feeling. I couldn’t stop her since there was a lot in her heart she needed to let go so she could begin.
She had to be strong if she wanted to defeat her enemies. Being an Omega doesn’t make her less of a beta, but she had to be strong just like one. Every damn time, I want to know what she thinks about, but I can figure that out.
“Kath.” I called, but she didn’t stop. I was starting to get worried, so I rose to my feet, but she fell on the floor before I could get to her, panting so hard and fast,
“That’s enough for today,” I uttered as I squatted to her level, but she shook her head in negation. “That’s not all, I’m fine. I want to keep going” She said, but I wasn’t going to let her continue. If she does, then she will pass out any minute.
“We should head back to the mansion, Katherine. You’ll need all your strength to continue tomorrow.” I helped her up on her feet and wanted to take her in my arms, but she insisted on walking. As she walked, I trailed behind her and we met Blake waiting outside.
Katherine and I got into the car that had earlier brought her here. She was silent, looking the other way to avoid my gaze.
“Your stepsister, I know she did it,” I spoke to break the silence, but Katherine didn’t turn her gaze at me.
“What’s the use if no one else but you believe me? Everyone thinks she’s the innocent one while I get to bear the image of a murderer who is wanted dead”
I wanted to take her hand, but I gave a second thought about it. “And your family too?”
“They are not my family. My family died a long time ago, so I don’t have one. My mother was the only family I had, but she’s dead and so I have no one.”
She was deeply hurt, and judging by the way she spoke to me, I could tell she was angry as well. Her gaze had also refused to meet mine. Blake had found out everything I wanted him to find out about Jane, but I had no idea if I could hand it over to Katherine yet. She deserves to know how everything was planned against her.
The car halted, but she didn’t wait for the door to be opened before stepping out. I trailed behind her as she began to rush in, and when we got in, she finally turned around to spare me a glance,
“Can I be alone for a few hours? I think I really need it now,”
I heaved deeply and nodded my head, “But first, I think you might need to see this.” The center table was where I kept what Blake had given to me, so I picked it up and handed it to her. “If you need anything more, just ask
“Thank you.” She answered and began walking up the stairs while I watched her till she was out of sight. Whatever she was going to see in there, I hoped she would be able to handle it with a strong heart.
ALPHA ZANE:
There was a knock on my door, and I instructed whoever was standing outside to come in. My secretary walked in so I raised my head to give her my attention,
Sir, you need to see this. A message came in this morning from B&K Corporation

She dropped the file on my table and I immediately picked it up. Trying not to get too excited, I tore it open and brought out
paper in it. The sight of what was written in there nearly had me screaming so loud in happiness as I couldn’t believe my request to become partners with the company was granted. Damn, this was what I had always wanted for years. Katherine and I were working towards this, and finally, I was able to achieve it.
“Contact them as soon as possible, and tell them the deal has been accepted. Send a request I would like to have a word with the president.”
“Okay, sir.” She uttered before walking out of my office while I continued to stare at the letter. If Katherine was here, she would have been the happiest right now. Before I found out who she truly was, thankfully she had given me the best strategies to get the attention of the company, and it worked out just well Overjoyed, I brought out my phone and immediately dialed Jane’s

number.

This was the woman who deserved to celebrate the best of everything with me. All of my success and growth. “Hey, baby.” She responded, and I smiled. I still couldn’t believe how fast I was growing in love with Jane already,
“I have the best news for you, and tonight we’re going to celebrate it. I want you to tell me whatever it is you want, and it’ll be at your feet as soon as possible.” Jane could feel the excitement in my voice as I spoke to her, and it made her even more curious to know what the good news was all about.
“Just tell me what it is already, Zane. She said impatiently and I chuckled. “I’ll be home early today to break the good news to you okay.” A knock rasped on my door, “I’ll call you later, I got to go now, I love you so much.” I said and when I got a response ended the call.
“Come in.”
The door opened and a long–time friend walked right in, “Killian, what the fuck!! I rose in excitement and rushed towards him, pulling him into a tight hug.
