All Chapters of Rejected Mate: The Lycan King's claim: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Katherine's POV When I woke up again, I was back at the apartment, but I was alone. There was no one in my bedroom, and when I listened to hear if anyone was in the house, I was met with pin-drop silence. "Hello,” I moaned and tried to stand up, but it felt like I had been run over by a moving truck. The door to the bathroom opened, and Kai walked out. He was clad in a towel, and under the moonlight, he looked exceptionally gorgeous. “Hey, you are awake.” He said and hurried to my side. “Yes. What time is it?” I asked him and rubbed my sleepy eyes. This was the best sleep that I have had in years; I was totally knocked out. “It's almost midnight. We got in not long ago.” Kai said and gathered me in his arms, kissing my head gently. “Where's Trisha? Did she eat dinner?” I asked, worried that she might not have eaten anything since I was not around to make it for her. “Yes, she did eat dinner. I made her something, and she is sleeping in her room right now.” He said, massaging m

Katherine's POV Since I no longer had a job, all I did was watch soap operas and entertain Trisha whenever she approached me to answer a question that she had just come up with. It was exhausting, and after two days, I was so bored that I chewed off my nails as a form of entertainment. Kai has also been very busy; with the attack on downtown by the shadow hunters, he had a lot to handle, and he had not come by the apartment for two days. I could not reach out to Roma, and Elera did not want to have anything to do with me. I was still moping about how boring my life had become when a knock pulled me out of my thoughts. I got up excitedly, wondering if Kai had gotten some spare time, and decided to come over today. To be honest, I missed him terribly and was too shy to call him and request that he come over to the house. I also understood that he was busy, which was the reason for his absence, not like he was moving on with someone else. Opening the door with a lot of anticipation, a

Katherine's POVThe dreams began as they have always done, it was the blend of hazy memories from a past I had never lived but had come to recognize. It was a perfect day, one that was filled with warmth and fragrant with freshly budding flowers. I stood in a wide garden, surrounded by tall grasses swaying in the direction of the wind. In the distance, a tall and elegant woman stood with her back to me, her presence felt oddly familiar.I took a step close to her, and she turned her senses to me. When she turned, my breath caught. It was the same woman Claire had told me about to me. Her hair rolled down her back, the black hair flowing in the direction of the wind, and her deep blue eyes carried a mixture of love and sadness that tugged at my heart in ways I would never have thought was possible. Her lips moved as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came out of them. "Who are you? Do I know you from anywhere? Please speak to me." I finally managed to say, as if there were some quest

Kai’s POVI had always prided myself on being in control, on knowing what to do in any situation. But with Katherine, I was out of depth. She wasn’t just any woman; she was my mate, the one person who mattered above all else. The bond between us was undeniable, the only thing that made the burden of leadership bearable. No matter how much I wanted her close to me, it meant nothing against the number of enemies I had. A soft knock on the door broke through my thoughts, but I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. I had sensed her approach before she even reached the corridor. Claire’s presence was always like a cool breeze, soothing and unmistakable. She entered the room quietly, closing the door behind her with a soft click.“Kai,” she greeted, her voice gentle but tinged with concern. “I could feel your turmoil from the other side of the palace.”“It's nothing; I just have so much to work on,” I said, lying through gritted teeth, but I knew that she could see right through m

Katherine's POVI glanced over at Claire, who paced the length of the room; her expression set with determination. She had already called for one of the maidens to care for Trisha. I couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that settled in my stomach like a lead weight. Kai and I had not slept all night, even though he had made several attempts to help put me to sleep."Katherine," Claire said, her voice pulling me out of my thoughts. She stopped in front of me, her eyes filled with concern. "We’re doing the right thing. Trisha will be safer here.""I know," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "But keeping her here means we have to keep everything a secret—our relationship, her identity. It’s a lot of weight for such small shoulders."Claire nodded, her expression softening. "It’s a risk, yes. But it’s a risk we have to take. Kai can protect her here in ways he couldn’t from a distance."I nodded, knowing she was right. Kai was the Lycan King; his power unmatched that of anyone els
