John's POVPacing around the room, I was lost in thought. This wasn't how I planned it, I wanted him dead on that bus and then Catherine would have nowhere to go—she would have no other option than to come with me, but none of the plans worked out.I wouldn't have forgiven Peter if Catherine and the kids lost their lives in that car because the hits from the trucks were much. We agreed to hit them just twice, get them wounded, and then I'll come over and take them alongside working on the other plans.“I finally found out that they are stepbrothers and Michael's mother is still in the hospital. What a life.'' I sipped from the glass. I am already short of ideas, I can't watch him claim them even when he loses his memory. I wonder what's so special about him that Catherine can't let go even in this condition.“Now that he has lost his memories. He doesn't know his enemies, this is our time to strike and it gets to him—I just hope that guy succeeds.” my lips stretched into a smile. The
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
