The Lycan's Revengeful Rejected Mate (Katherine) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 

ALPHA LEO: 

It wasn’t real. I knew I was seeing things right now, and I had just seen Tristan on the other side of the road a few seconds ago. 

I fluttered my brows again and looked in the same direction, but there was nobody there. Why now? Why the hell was I always either hearing his voice or seeing him in my dreams and now in my illusions? 

I decided to ignore whatever I had just seen and continued walking, but I couldn’t. Everything kept playing vividly in my head over and over at each step, 

This wasn’t me being scared of Tristan. If anyone was to be scared, it should be him and not me, but there were reasons why I hoped that it wouldn’t be him. It was impossible. If Tristan was out, I would have certainly found out immediately. 

I finally got to the small bar and walked right in, ignoring the faces of the drinking men and ladies around so I could find my way and locate whoever I was meeting when I finally saw him, I walked over to where he was seated, 

“Aless…” I called the moment I got to his spot, and took my seat close to him, 

“Hey, Leo. How long has it been? How many years now.” 

“Let’s not talk about that. When did you get to the pack? How long have you been around?” 

He passed me a drink, and I collected it, 

“Three days now. I came back because I guess my father demanded that I come. I have no idea what’s so urgent, but I wasn’t planning to see you soon.” 

I chuckled at his words and then drank from the glass, 

“On a serious note, Aless, you have no idea why he told you to return?” 

I knew Aless well, and I could tell that he was hiding something. Aless had been my friend since childhood because his father was friends with mine and we grew up having each other’s back. 

The smile on his face suddenly changed into a frown, and that was when I realized that I was right. Something was wrong. 

“What’s wrong? Spill it out, man.” I said to him, I was worried. Aless was the only person I had from my childhood who never saw me as the monster everyone out there saw me as. In fact, there was so much more to our friendship story, 

I watched him heave deeply, 

“Well, my father’s condition is worse, and that means I’m going to have to pick a mate soon before I become the next Alpha. I haven’t found a mate yet, and I don’t think I even want to.” 

“You don’t want to? Finding a mate has always been what you wanted since we were younger.” I responded. The look on his face made it clear that a lot was going on in my life that I didn’t know about. 

“Well, I did find my mate.” 

“So, isn’t that something good since it’s what you want…” 

“But we rejected each other…” his words instantly cut me off, and I could only stare at him in surprise. 

“Why?” 

“Because I caught her cheating on me with her ex when I was ready to claim her as my mate. We were going to get married, but she decided to sleep with her ex three days before the wedding. It was going to be a surprise for my father, and my pack…” He went silent, and then I could only imagine his pains or how he was feeling just thinking about it.
