Chapter 74
KATHERINE:
I was patiently waiting in the living room for Tanya to step out of Leo’s study room. I was so damn worried about what was going on, the last thing that was on my mind was to eavesdrop on their conversation.
but After patiently waiting for close to 30 minutes, Tanya stepped out and began to rush down the stairs. Her eyes were swollen and soaked in tears, and it made me wonder what the hell just happened. In a hurry, I rushed towards her and held her shoulder,
“Hey, hey, hey, are you alright? Did something happen? Did he hurt you?”
“I need to leave right now. I can’t stay here anymore.”
“Tanya calm down. You’re not leaving, not in this condition or not until you tell me what the hell is going on. What did Leo do? Did he tell you to leave?” I was starting to get angry as I awaited her response, but she shook her head in negation,
“No, I decided to leave on my own, Katherine. I’m sorry but I don’t think I belong here. There’s no place for me here and there never will be.”
I held her hand,
“No. Don’t ever say that. This is your pack too, your home and so it’s not right you leave. Come on, I’ll talk to Leo, just tell me what’s wrong.”
She was about to respond when we heard Leo’s voice. I could feel her handshake in mine at that moment,
“Let her go, Katherine,” Leo uttered, his eyes void of all kinds of emotions as he stared at us from the banisters of the stairs,
“What?” I uttered and paused, “I’m not doing that, at least until I know there’s a good reason why she’s leaving.” I continued,
“You heard her, she chose to leave on her own without being forced to do so. I think it’s best that she does. Tanya has school to return to, Katherine, so let her go.”
“Leo…”
“He’s right. I have school, and I chose to leave on my own. Probably one day you could come visit me.”
“You really wouldn’t come back again?” I questioned. How the hell would I live in this big mansion without a lady to share girly stuff with? Without Tanya, I knew I would be lonely.
She nodded her eyes and the look in my eyes changed completely, I slowly let go of her hand too. I could feel something was wrong, and it had to do with what happened that day, but I wasn’t going to talk about it in front of Leo.
“The least you could do for me is spend tonight here and leave tomorrow morning. I understand you have to leave, but grant me this wish, please.”

I watched her cock her head towards Leo, but I didn’t understand what was happening. When she cocked her head back at me, nodded her head in agreement. It was more like she had to receive consent from him first before giving me an answer, and that made me believe even more that something was wrong with these two. Maybe they had a fight or something,
“Alright, let’s head upstairs okay.” I tried to avoid Leo’s gaze because I was already fucking pissed at him. Why the hell would he be so mean and cruel to his blood sister? I held Tanya’s hand and began to lead her upstairs and as we got to Leo’s spot, I walked past him without uttering a word to him.
“Hey, take a seat, okay, it’s going to be fine.” I watched as she tried so hard to hold back her tears, and once I had locked the door, I came to sit close to her,
“I guess it’s not something I should know right? And I know you didn’t make that choice to leave on your own too.”
She shook her head in negation,
“I did. I came back to see if I could fix things, but I was wrong. I can’t, and I would never be able to do it. No one would ever be able to do it.” She averted her gaze to mine and chuckled,
“Trust me, Katherine, the little time I spent here has been the best with you around and I couldn’t be happier that my brother has a mate le you. How the paused with a smile on her face.
know you like how I can see by your ever, but you’re scared. Don’t let your fear held you back for too long
