Chapter 57 

KATHERINE- 

I stayed in the shower for as long as I possibly could because I didn’t know what to do when I would walk out of here and meet Leo in the bedroom. I took a deep breath in, feeling my heart pounding so hard and fast as I recalled what had happened at the party. 

“Get a grip of yourself, Katherine, it doesn’t mean anything and Leo doesn’t like you like you think, I told myself, but I also knew I didn’t believe in those words that I had just told myself. 1 badly wanted otherwise. 

As I shut my eyes in the shower, memories of the kiss hit me hard and I heaved deeply. Why the hell could I not forget about what happened? 

Then, I suddenly thought about why Leo had done it and kissed me in the first place, Was there a reason? 

I heard a light knock on the door and it snapped me away from my thoughts Immediately. 

“Katherine, it’s been more than 30 minutes, are you alright in there?” 

His questions made me think he was going to do what he had done earlier. It felt like Deja Vu like the scenes were trying to repeat themselves, and because of this, I hurried out of the shower, 

I’m also done, I just need to wash my hair and I’ll be out, I uttered loud enough for him to hear because I was scared he would just barge in like he did earlier and I wasn’t in a towel. My fear increased when I heard the knob, and I immediately grabbed my towel and tied it around my waist. 

“Lea…” I called his name, but there was no answer. 

“Leo?‘ I called again, and then 1 suddenly realized that this was me imagining things in my head. What the hell was I so scared of? Was it the fear of us having sex…. 

“Shut the hell up, please.” I felt so embarrassed and began to walk out of the bathroom. When I got out, Leo was seated on the bed with his phone, 

“You finally decided to step out?” 

“I just wanna go to bed, Leo, Im tired already, I responded, intentionally avoiding his gaze so we wouldn’t have to talk about what happened earlier. When I took just a step away, he was standing right in front of me, 

“Fuck, the damn speed, I muttered to myself, still fixing my gaze to the ground, 

“Don’t you think we need to talk about the party and what happened.. 

“Oh goodness, where the hell is the hair dryer, I need to find it,” I said aloud and began to walk away from him, deeply praying that he wouldn’t appear right in front of me again, and thankfully he didn’t. When I turned back to look, he wasn’t there anymore and 1 heaved deeply. 

What was there to talk about? He kissed me first and I was ready to let it slide and not talk about it even though I was the one who was taken by surprise, but why was he willing to talk about it? 

I began to walk towards the bed, and when I got there, I took my seat and then began to stare at the bathroom exit, 

Damn, what the hell was I thinking about? 

I could hear the showers, my mind traveled around different nasty things and I couldn’t help them get out of my head. I took a deep breath in just to calm my nerves down because I didn’t understand what the hell he was doing to me. 

10 minutes later, I rose to my feet and began to walk towards the wardrobe, and when I found the hair dryer, I took it out and began to use it on my hair. 

I was standing close to the mirror almost halfway done when I heard Leo’s voice, 

“You want me to help you with that?” 

I flinched a little and averted my gaze to him, then I swallowed a lump of saliva deciding inwardly that I didn’t need to act weird or uncomfortable, 

“Yes.”

I watched as he came closer to me with a towel tied around his waist, and for a second when my eyes spotted his bare chest, my mind. wondered about 20 different things I could do. 

“Give it.” He said to him, and I fluttered my brows, realizing that he was talking about the dryer in my hand. I slowly handed it to him, and then I turned around so he could help me out, 

“You don’t have to worry about what Joshua said at the party,” Leo uttered, and it was then I realized that he wasn’t talking about the kiss the first time, but what Joshua had said. 

“I’m not, but maybe he’s right. No one knows that I’m your mate, and I’m not strong in the first place, nor do I have a wealthy family with a good reputation. Don’t get me wrong Leo, I wasn’t expecting anything in the first place, all I want is to clear my name and reveal the truth to Zane so I could go far away and start my life afresh.” My reply was a bit straightforward, but recalling what Joshua had said, I felt defeated. 

That feeling made me realize that I was starting to get myself attached to all of this. That I was starting to expect and want more than I had told myself I needed. Whatever I had to do, it was best to do it and walk away. 

“Your pack is the greatest, Leo. The Blood Moon Pack, it’s strong. Now that I’m here, I’m starting to realize why that has been so. To keep this going, you need someone who is almost as strong as you to keep the pack going because that’s what you deserve.” I continued. 

I had no idea why my words were hurting me as well. Did it mean that I had begun to have a thing for Leo without even realizing it? 

I turned around to face him, 

“It’s good now, thank you,” I said and smiled, but his gaze didn’t leave mine, 

“I need to go to bed now, goodnight.” He was still silent, but without staring at him, I walked away, heading towards the bed.
