10 - Mating Ball

Katie's POV

The party was about to start. Yesterday was such a mess. Thankfully, Khalid and Jessica came together with Khael. I don't care how weak I sound, but I really relied on my brother at that time. He was beyond mad and punished Lexie and the others. I didn't ask for the details but was told they weren't killed due to beta and gamma's interference. Well, I don't want them dead either. Just want them to learn their lessons. It is also because of the rising issue of the declining population. Won't be seeing them anyway, so it's a win-win.

Kath shared that Khan wanted to thank us. She explained to me the concept of the mind-link.

Apparently, it was my brother's longtime wish. For me to ask for help. All this time, he was the one offering. I was stuck on being brave just so my brother wouldn't worry about me, but it seems to do the exact opposite. He was worried that I kept it all to myself and was afraid that I would burst and breakdown alone. That is why it felt like a huge burden
