Catherine's POV:Since last night, I've been contemplating over the safety of my kids. They don't need to be hurt while all this drama is ongoing, because I'm sure John might come after them, knowing that they are my weakness. “I need to discuss this with Michael, they should vacate from this Place—the pack as a whole.” I thought, putting on my earpod since I was done bathing and getting dressed. Stepping out of the room, I stumbled on Jason. The look on his face revealed that everything wasn't alright, so I squatted to hear him out.He tapped my cheek. “You hate us, Mum?”My eyes grew wide. Why would he be thinking of such a thing? “I can't do that to my treasures. What made you think that way? Did I offend you two?'' I was so curious and anxious that the situation wouldn't go beyond my control.He looked to his left, and Julia was leaning on the wall. Her eyes focused on us.“You and Dad always leave without us. You don't tell us what is going on nor get something edible for us,” h
Alpha Michael's POV:The moment Trenton announced the news, I began sweating under the air conditioner. The first thing that hit my mind was the company’s account, and the manager was the only one who could access the account, and that made me scared that it was tampered with.“We don't have to think of who did it,” Trenton uttered, taking a seat. “I'm just scared of how the sales will go from now.”“It will drop to the last. Peter is meant to bring me down so I'll lose my title.'' I narrated while locking the account from my end. Seeing that it would take time, I decided to call customer service quickly—and luckily, they had already gotten my request before I called and locked it up. “No matter how the sales drop, it will be easy to build up again when the money is there—so I don't care if it drops to the last. So long as my money is safe, I have no issue.”“Are you saying that you'll turn a blind eye?” Trenton queried. He has been one of my loyal servants from the beginning who want
Alpha Michael's POV:Catherine took a last glance at me and Jennifer and then walked out of the room. Her face looked contorted, I felt she was sad, but not until she mind-linked me for the first time since we met. I was startled at first when I heard her voice in my head, and then I pulled myself together so Jennifer wouldn't notice what was going on.“I am not mad at you, just had to maintain the strategy of our agreement…” she said and I swallowed softly. “Thank you for understanding, I'll get some information from her,'' I replied to her and she cut the link.This is something that I'm beginning to love, that I can mind link with her now is something special to me. “And she linked me up first…..” I smiled.Jennifer tapped me, thinking that the smile was for her. “What's so funny about her leaving?”“She didn't tell me that I have a company, and here you are revealing it to me. I should be glad to have someone like you as a worker there.'' I grinned and licked my lips. “So, would y
AUTHOR’S POVAfter the successful mission of robbing the company, they all gathered again to set out how the second plan would be taking place. There must be a successful mission too or Peter won't pay them a complete sum of money.In an underground dark room were about seven men all dressed in black cargo trousers and black polo that had the name of their gang and symbol printed on them. They had their face caps and nose masks on to not be identified ... and then black gloves with sneakers, in addition to pistols hidden in the leather jacket they were putting on.They were in a circle, their palms dipped into their back pockets.“John’s men, we have the address of where they are, so we must find a way to get them out of there.” the chief said.“And they are surrounded by some group of mercenaries….or are they assassins? Those men are so tough that I'm scared we will make it out alive.” the guy standing opposite the chief uttered, and at that same moment, two bullets flew into him and
ALPHA MICHAEL’S POV:Jennifer dozed off in my room. I did well to take her to an empty room and cover her up, ready to take her home or back to the company when she woke up. Hours elapsed and Trenton announced that she's awakened as he was watching her through the camera in the room.I got dressed and headed to see her seated, her back leaning on the wall.“What's up? Good to go?” I walked closer.She lifted her head and hissed. “Why am I not in your room? You just asked if we can reconcile but you don't want me to stay with you.'' She tried getting down but a scream escaped her throat. “Are you okay?” I rushed towards her but she pushed me. “You drank a lot, that's why you're having a hangover.”“Did I do or say anything stupid?” she asked, her looks showed that she was scared she must have spilt the secret she was supposed to keep hidden. “You're not saying anything….” she scolded and waved my hands.I shook my head. “Even if you did, I can't remember a thing because I got drunk as
Catherine's POV:After the flight took off, I saw a young man with a face cap sitting near the window, two seats away and opposite mine. I had a bad feeling about him when he was offered a juicy drink and he rejected it, so busy with his cell phone that it's more important than a safe landing.He swirled his neck backwards and I caught his face. Even though he was putting on a mask with a dark glass, his face looked familiar. If I'm not mistaken, I saw that face the first time Peter abducted me with my kids at Doctor John’s house.He looks exactly like him.And looking at his left arm since he wasn't putting on a long sleeve, he has a tattoo similar to the one the guy I guess he is. Definitely, it was him—I confirmed it when I messaged the hacker to look into his cell phone. I wouldn't want to bother Michael when he has a lot of things to handle.The hacker forwarded his contact list, bank account balance, and messages to me.Going through all that, I learned that he was on a mission.
Alpha Michael's POVHearing the news on the television, my heart sank into my stomach. I regret planning to relocate my kids, but come to think about it, how did the information leak? Is there anyone in the palace spying and disclosing our conversations and plans?I'm very sure I never mentioned it to Jennifer, then how come this took place when I'm sure without being told that it was a terrorist attack?“What about the hacker?'' I asked Trenton who was standing immobile at my back. He shook his head. “I can't reach him either, I just hope he's not the one behind this…” he uttered and licked his lips.I grabbed his hand. “Let's go search around that area and see if we can see their corpse, that's the only thing I know. Catherine left with them for safety purposes, so I should be sure that they are dead without taking any steps." I muttered as we headed to the car.Despite the distance, we drove to the spot where the crash took place. The firefighters had turned off the fire making it
Alpha Michael's POVFive hours had elapsed since the meeting came to an end and I had been indoors, trying my best to reach out to Catherine, still, there was no positive response. I was dripping in sweat, my towel around my neck as I paced around the room, busy with my cell phone. My door was quacked, so I turned around immediately. It was Trenton, standing at the doorpost with a frown all over his face. “What's up? Any news? The doctor should be here by now right?" I asked in, approaching closer. He shook his head. “This is getting out of hand, I'm getting pissed off already.”That sounded weird, so I dropped my cell phone on the bed. For Trenton to give such a reply in a lament, that things are getting worse. He handles things without getting tired of them no matter how hard it is…. I would say that I trained him and he's making me proud, what's left is for him to make his family.“The Doctor vanished into thin air. How is that even possible if he wasn't taken away or bribed not t
A week after Doctor John and Jennifer died, Michael succeeded in suing his brother and his accomplices in court while he punished the ministers of his pack with demotion and exile. Lots of them pleaded for a second chance but he was deaf ears to their pleas.I was still wounded by the death of John, I wished he would come back to life and amend his ways.At times, I feel guilty. Would he have lived if I tied his wound with my jacket or was he just destined to die? If I had known that there were other motives behind him, I wouldn't have bothered taking him to that hospital, but he might not have survived if I had taken him to my pack.His death is one tragedy that I didn't wish to happen, but I will have to console myself that he brought it upon himself by plotting death on my Alpha.I was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling continuously. I was unaware when Alpha walked into the room. He touched my cheek, bringing me back to reality.“We have a visitor,” he announced and I hissed.
CATHERINE’S POV The incident drew the attention of the people around, but the most difficult thing was that the culprit was not seen, and that made people contemplate what was going on. Seeing John in a pool of blood made me share his pain with him, so the least I could do at that moment was call the ambulance to come over as quickly as possible. I squatted beside him, trying to fish out the mastermind that he was talking about. I wonder why he's so foolish that he will still want me back at this point when he's very sure that I don't think about it. “I have to tell Michael what is going on….” I brought out my cell phone and dialed his number, and luckily he picked up immediately. “Doctor John was shot, but the culprit was not seen,” I announced to him. He scoffed. “It's that just it? Take him to the hospital and come back to the palace. Are you sure you weren't the target?” “That I don't know.'' I gulped. “Looked like he wanted to spill a secret and got shot because he said some
CATHERINE’S POVSome miles away from the secret building where the hacker was staying, we saw five men all dressed in suits walking into the building. I felt devastated, I wouldn't want them to see us or it might be a bloodbath. “What do we do?” I asked Trenton, but he said nothing, rather he pulled out his cell phone and placed the hacker on a call.My heart was beating faster, he couldn't meet with them or he was a dead meat. But, why would they put a tracker on our car? To kill us on the way when they are sure that we must come after her huh? No way, he mustn't be caught, we must return to the palace alive.“Don't take the front route, and don't even take the back. Go through the basement.” Trenton said to him.I was terrified. “Won't he be caught there? Is there a way out from there?” I asked, quivering.I put him into this matter and he began working for us. If I lose him this way, I will never have peace of mind. That's why he must live no matter what.Trenton handed the car key
CATHERINE'S POVWe successfully rescued the women, and that made me so happy. Now, we are done with that part, and the moment Alpha thought of heading to go see the Great Alpha, he got a message that Jennifer was waiting for him, dressed like a wanderer.Due to that, he canceled going to see the Alpha and postponed it to the next time. I hated that she was around, but I was curious to know the reason she was waiting for us, and that's why I was never against going back home because of her.The best thing we could do was to call for more vehicles to get the women in, they will have to stay in the palace until everything is resolved, or there's a possibility of Peter taking their lives to not be exposed.Jennifer was standing before us, her top torn into two as she vomited everything she had to say, but what I wasn't expecting was that she would be shot. I wonder if she was the target, why would she be shot the moment she was coming closer to me? She fell into my arms and vomited a mout
JENNIFER’S POVFor years now, I've always let him have his way with me because it looked like I was in his cage. He used the way he wanted, reminding me all the time that Michael would never love me again since I cheated on him. But one thing no one knows about all this was that he planned it all because I refused to be his date…..so the only way to tarnish my image was drugging and forcing himself on me, then revealing it to Michael.I wanted to tell the truth about all that took place, but he promised to make sure Michael lost his title or his life if I ever exposed the truth. He had to do that since I am in a contract with Michael and that's one reason he can't sack me.Tears dropped from my eyes while he was busy loosening his trousers. Even if it's just this once, I have saved myself from his wrath. There's no way I'll still be his toy when he's out to get rid of his brother despite the agreement.“Just stay still! Don't cause a commotion here, let's do it peacefully so your soul
ALPHA MICHAEL’S POVSeeing the way the Minister of Defense gave in to dying without spilling out the producer of the substance he's administering makes me think that they are into an oath. He's the third person that I'm punishing, and they never opened up on who their mastermind is, but I have that feeling that Peter is responsible for all that.The meeting has been dismissed and the next step to take is to rescue the caged women. If I take too long, they will either be killed or taken away ... or maybe end up being sold like they planned.Hours ago, I had a bad feeling about my family, but the guards over there reassured me that they were all okay, and that gave me peace of mind.“Can we just round everything up tomorrow? I miss my kids already when it's not up to three days.” Catherine walked in, already dressed. We are heading out all together, and from there, I will head over to see the Great Alpha to report everything to him. He needs to do something, I'll end up executing them
PETER’S POV Nothing was going as I planned, I wondered why it's so difficult to get rid of that Omega who thinks she can be an obstruction to me. Before me were my men standing with their heads bowed low, I felt like chopping off their heads over this issue. “Don't expect a dime from me until you get rid of her, you incompetent fools.” I cursed. Why would they assume she's dead when she's not? And now, she's back in the palace, sitting with Michael, and is resisting every accusation. “I just hope she gets no clue to prove her innocence, and Michael will have no option than to execute her—or the whole of you are dead.” I shrieked at them. This was getting on my nerves, the way everything is turning upside down is pissing me off. I planned to get rid of her without John's awareness, he had thought he was that smart ... but he's mistaken because I'll get rid of him as well when I'm done with Catherine and my brother. I got seated with my legs crossed, thinking of what to do next with
ALPHA MICHAEL’S POVThe moment I stood up from my throne, the image of my kids flashed in my mind. I glanced at Catherine, hoping that they were okay. I've been speaking with the chief guard over there and he has always assured me that everything is okay. My next plan is to be able to connect with the cameras there from my laptop—I'll have to speak to the hacker about that.The minister of Justice came forth since he was the next in command after the chief minister and his deputy, he signaled the guards at the door, and the door was opened. Two hefty men walked in with the corpse lying above them.“Your Majesty, this is the corpse she murdered. Please look into this and let justice take over.” the minister of Justice uttered.I sniffed. What an asshole? “Are you saying that I have never justified a case?”He shook his head. “No, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. This has to do with murder, and so you shouldn't let it slide.” I burst into laughter. “Seriously? I shouldn't l
ALPHA MICHAEL’S POVI knew they must have planned another evil before telling me that Catherine committed murder. For goodness sake, I wonder if these old geezers will ever come to their senses and quit their stupid acts. They had the guts to tell me that Catherine isn't a Luna yet, bringing in another law that I didn't approve of, making me wonder how badly they want me dethroned.I'll patiently wait for them to scramble whatever it is all in the name of the victim that Catherine murdered, not when I know that an innocent soul will lose his or her life at this spot—but at least, I'll use it against them.I lifted my face, staring at the guard that just announced what I wasn't expecting. “Did you just say the CCTV?”He nodded. “Everything was restored by itself.”I glanced at Catherine whose face was covered with shock. How will this be explained? I can't tell if the hacker did it since I never ordered such a thing, or did Catherine do it? I tapped her, “Did you...?”She shook her hea
