Chapter 79
KATHERINE
“No Tanya, you must be mistaken. This isn’t your brother, he’s someone I know and he’s…”
One of the board members? Tristan knows how he got his way in there.” Tanya cut me off before I could complete my statement,
“Why do you keep calling him Tristan? He’s Damon, and not Tristan right?” I cocked my head towards Damon as I questioned, but then there was no response from him..his gaze was on Tanya and she had a smile on her face while I was still very confused,
“Right?” I said again slowly feeling like the fool here,
*Katherine, hold on I can..”
I scoffed aloud,
“There’s no need for that. I see that I’m the fool here so I’d like to take my leave now.” I cocked my head towards Tanya,
“Let’s leave, Tanya.”
“Katherine, hold on and hear him out first okay? I have my reasons why I brought you here. I couldn’t hide it anymore because of what
you mean to me.”
“Tanya, let’s talk.” Damon, or rather Tristan’s voice cut her off.
“You should go. I need a minute to process all of this right now okay? I’ll be fine, I promise.” I said to Tanya when she looked at me
“Sit. We won’t be long okay.”
As Tanya had said, I took my seat on one of the couches and took a deep breath in as I recalled all the times Damon…. Wait, Tristan and I had met. Did he talk to me the first time knowing that I was Leo’s mate? No wonder he did that to Blake.
I gasp, that explains the powers and abilities. He was also a Lycan like Leo and Tanya.
Now could I be so foolish not to have suspected that too? Then one of his abilities was compelling other people.
I began to wonder why Leo never told me about his brother. He never talked about his family and I always thought that Tanya was the only family he had left in the world,
I patiently waited, thinking about what I would say when Tanya and Tristan returned. Most importantly, what I would say to Leo when I returned home. I needed to know why he lied about not having a brother.
I trusted him with everything I had and told him everything, but he was hiding this huge secret from me. That must have explained why I was feeling so attached to Tristan. Why did my wolf want to be around him whenever we sensed him close,
“Katherine….” I heard a soft voice call my name and it immediately snapped me out of my thoughts. When I looked towards the stairs, I saw him staring at me with those golden brown eyes of his and I could swear for a second that Lyra called out to him.
She had called him MATE.
TANYA’S POV
I wasn’t scared of Tristan because I had an offer that I knew he was going to like and wouldn’t be able to resist. I was done taking both brother’s sides, and if there was anyone I would willingly stick to, then it would be one else but Tristan.
Leo wasn’t anywhere worth a helping hand from me or anybody and I just couldn’t let Katherine be with a man like him.
She had no idea what kind of man he was.
Yes, I was willing to do that much for him… keep his true self, his past, and secrets away from her, but I couldn’t let her spend the rest of her life with him.
Katherine deserves something or someone way better. Someone who understands her and who wouldn’t lie to her.
17.38
“What the hell did you do. Tanya?” Tristan questioned as he shut the door of the room after I stepped in.
I knew he was angry, I could see it in his eyes as he turned around to stare at me, but I didn’t freight..
If you’d let me explain..”
7 fucking told you I don’t want to see you again, and not to mess with my life. Are you fucking trying to see the other side of me that you shouldn’t?*
“No Tristan, I’m on your side.”
“What does that mean?”
“You said you’re mated to her? You said she’s your mate right? I believe you. I want Katherine for you, Tristan. She’s a good lady and she’s been through more than enough to be with Leo. She has no idea who the hell he is and we both know what he’s capable of doing.”
“Why should I believe or trust you?”
“Because I can see it in your eyes. I saw it in your eyes, the way you looked at her worriedly when she found out the truth. I know you like her, Tristan. This time, it isn’t really about the mate bond anymore. That’s no longer an excuse because you like who she is right?”
I knew I had gotten him already because everything I said just now was true,
“Do you think someone like her deserves our brother? If Katherine found out who exactly Leo is, then she would be hurt and I don’t want that. If she finds out what he did, to you, to our parents, she will never forgive him and herself for falling in love with someone like him, that’s why I’m here. I’ve tried hard to change him, but it’s simply impossible. Leo would never be what we want him to be. He doesn’t need redemption.”
“What are you trying to say, Tanya? If I find out you’re trying to trick me or….”
“I would never. I love you way too much to do that to you. Do you remember what you said to me when I was 7? That you’ll always take my side no matter what. That you’ll always be with me no matter what. I lived more than 3 years of my life without you brother, and now that you’re here, you got to keep that promise. It’s time you take your rightful position as Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack because it belongs to you. It’s time you take your mate too. Katherine is supposed to be yours. You deserve her instead.” I said paying attention to the expression on his face.

Tristan wanted to do exactly as I had just said and I was ready to stand by him.
