Chapter 3

Ceaser stormed out of the bar with anger and worry for his mate. He had found her and just could not let her go.

Kate was so tired but she had to keep on running. Her body was hurting due to all the bruises Brian had given to her, she was very weak and was close to passing out.

Kate! Kate! Kate! wait up, listen to me, please wait up, you could get hurt and I don't want that to happen.

 She stopped running since her body could not bear the pain again and decided to listen to Ceaser. He held her very close and wondered how she got hurt. Kate! Baby! how did you get all these bruises and injuries? This guy is just funny. He called me baby, does he even know me?   He is just so ridiculous and maybe he might be high.

Look, I know you find my words strange and I am very sorry about the way I spoke earlier. My wolf is very mad at me, just forgive me. I love you and I want you to give me one chance to explain things to you. Or maybe, you could come and live in my pack then you would understand everything. If you are there, then you would get things better. This is so funny and way too weird. You expect me to believe that I am a werewolf, there is a pack and you are the leader or should I say, badass ruler.

No effing way, this is way too much to bear and I can not handle these weird talks again. Just leave me.

After uttering those words, I saw the hurt on Ceaser's face and I ran away into the woods I had to use dirt and mud to cover up and hide from my so-called mate.

I mean he acted rude and now he is acting all lovey-dovey and calling me with endearments and just expecting me to believe everything. When does this drama in my life end?

Brian is going to have my head on a silver platter. Kate! Kate! where are you? Just listen to me, let me clear things up. It is not safe to be in those woods. I made no sound and ran away.

  When I got home, Brian got so angry for looking so dirty, messy, and smelly in his words and for staining his rug. He gave me fresh bruises and used his boot to kick my stomach. He made more hurtful comments and almost insulted my mother. I was beginning to think that there was more to these bruises and what exactly is he hiding from  me. He seems sort of shady and was extra mean.

I picked myself up from the floor and took a very soothing shower to numb the pain and applied some ointments. I made sure to bolt my door, I know he could not come near my room since I had put some extra locks and protection which earned some beatings from him.

Most times, I think he just derived joy in beating me for the fun of it.

I thought about the events that had happened today, What Ceaser and Lucas had told me. It just seemed so weird and bizarre. Everything was so strange and I did not know what to think. My mind drifted to Lucas, he was so beautiful and he seemed like a god. Well, he did say he was the Alpha of his pack.

All these thoughts occupied my head and with that I drifted off to sleep.The next morning, I woke feeling so weak and my hand was banging. I looked at my stomach and it was filled with bruises and marks. Brian surely did leave his mark. I was so sick and tired and I wondered when all these was going to end. I had nothing to eat yesterday and when I checked myself in the mirror, I looked like Ursula..note the sarcasm.

I took a very hot shower to numb the pain and I had to apply some balm. I got dressed in some sweatpants and sweatshirt as I had to hide the bruises.

I could not work in Lucas' bar again, I had to look for a job in some other place. I just did not want the drama and weirdness that came with Ceaser. If possible, I could run away from this town and start a new life. I had saved up some money and my mum left some money almost ten thousand dollars without Brian knowing.

My 18th birthday was coming up and quite frankly, I was effing scared and I did not know what to expect, for all I know , Brian might as well kill me and I have different things swirling in my brain. What were the secrets my mom was hiding from me and what was the other reason for Brian's brutality.

I decided to go into town to look for some new jobs and maybe scouts for some new apartments. Soon after, she left the house and was in deep thoughts.

 Suddenly, a black maybach stopped in my front putting it thoughts to an abrupt end. The tinted windows were rolled and I saw a man in his middle age, he was a  specimen that I could testify to, I could still smell his buff arms. What was wrong with me, why was I ogling a man older than me with at least twenty years.

He had a smirk plastered on his face and I was busy pondering why he stopped in front of me. Then he said the following words which left me speechless: " Katherine Jones , exactly like her mother. She was a beauty  and I see you took after her in that field. Have my business card, you will surely need my help and you will need answers to some questions. "Have a great day and with that, his driver that I barely noticed his presence turned to me with a sinister smirk and drove off.

Again! another unnecessary drama and torment , when does it all end? I was so damn tired of all these.
