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
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 POVIt's been a while since I did laundry. Doctor John had gotten a housekeeper for me after childbirth, but I settled the young lady and dismissed her three days ago. My kids have grown up already, so I need to perform the house chores myself from today onwards. I already prepared breakfast so Dr. John could eat something before leaving. I felt a tap on my shoulder that made me lift my face to see him standing at my back.“Sir… are you done already?” I questioned, gazing at his face.He took away the cloth I was holding and drew me closer to himself while his left arm wrapped my waist. “I'm still confessing my love for you, Catherine. Why can't you just give me a chance and watch me make a better husband and a father?” he rubbed his palm on my cheek. “You won't regret it, Catherine.”I gulped. This is the third time he's repeated this confession of being in love with me. My kids just clocked a year and a week ago, and they know him as their father…but he's not. Dr. John t
Catherine's POVThe way I was kicked out of the company was one thing I never expected. I couldn't set my eyes on Alpha…it would have been better if he was the one that kicked me out, at least I'll be sure that I'm not welcomed into his life—never again.I left back home with the same cab that I boarded while coming. My kids who knew what was going on were just busy, running around the corner while we walked into the compound. As we almost reached the veranda, I noticed something going on in the building. I'm very sure Dr John is at work, but it looked like someone was wrecking around the compound.All of a sudden, two giant men walked out of the sitting room. They stared at each other and then shook their heads.“Who knows if they're after me? Did Alpha send them to get rid of me or capture me?'' I thought, my hands gripped my kids and I drew them to the garage. There we squatted, and they looked at me so surprised, I smiled at them and patted their backs while peeping at the two men
Catherine’s POVMy fists clenched in anger when I took a look at the young man standing before me as Alphas Michael's brother. He had abducted me with the kids since I insisted on not being his woman. Does he even have a conscience? How will he feel about claiming his brother's ex–wife and his kids? No matter, I'd rather be a single mother than get entangled with another man.I took a good look at my kids, they were sobbing uncontrollably, while their little palms tugged on my arm. Tears flooded down their cheeks.“Peter!” I mentioned. That's what he mentioned his name as. He turned immediately and walked closer to me. “Did you change your mind now?” I shook my head to his question. “Take this rope off my body, I need to look after my kids,” I screamed at him, amidst pain but he acted deaf and turned his back on me. “You'll be here until the council meeting with Michael is over. He needs to be well convinced that you are dead after that meeting because I already sent my men to him.” h
Alpha Michael’s POVWithin me, I felt like I was struggling to catch my breath. I forced my eyes open only to see my body lying on a bed. My eyes darted round the room… “It's a hospital!” I released a deep breath and pulled out the oxygen pipe on my nose. My body was heavily bandaged because of the shots that I got—but since I wasn't feeling any pain again, I began losing the bandages.Werewolves are healed quickly, especially the Alphas.The door was slammed open and the doctor dashed in like someone anxious. “Your Majesty, you can't leave until you recuperate totally,” he said to me. I took a good look at him, he's strange… I've not seen that face for the first time. “How did I get here?'' I asked him.He sighed deeply. “A young lady drove you to this hospital with her kids, a little girl and a boy.”That was when I began recalling everything that had happened. “Catherine!” I bit my lower lips. I had to leave my mansion after having a council meeting with my ministers. They gathered
Catherine’s POVMy hands were chained backwards while I was seated on the floor of the cell. It was cold there and everywhere was dark so I couldn't see a dime in the room. That is what it means to be an omega in the pack, there are certain abilities that we lack which makes us the lower ranked.The door of the cell was opened. I knew that because I heard the sound, and then a light flashed at my face. I noticed that it wasn't just one person who came—they were about three, and all hefty men, which I perceive to be servants in the palace.“It's time for your execution!” one of them said and signaled the others to get hold of me.I shook my head. “It's not done that way. You have to tell me that my kids and Alpha are safe.”“You still have the guts to mention his Majesty when he already abandoned you. Don't you realize that you are an omega and you don't have what it takes to be the Luna of this Pack? So stop dreaming….” the other referred bluntly at me.I licked my lips and watched th
Alpha Michael’s POVMy head was filled up. Even though I'm the Alpha king of the pack, I am expected to punish whoever commits a crime—but this time, I find no crime about Catherine being in the cell. Those ministers got evidence that she plotted treason and expected me to believe them so easily, and my brother who went intimate with my ex–lover was with them as well.Why don't I believe that this is a plan between them? Since I refused to make Jennifer my Luna even though her father was one of the ministers, they must be against me making Catherine my Luna as well, and since she already had kids for me.“Those kids are my carbon copy, there's nothing that will make me believe that it belongs to John…'' I muttered, pacing around my room in deep thought. What will I do to secure the life of Catherine and the kids? If I forcefully save her, I'll be dethroned and they will put on the throne a puppet king that they will control, and I don't want such a thing to happen.How do I go about t
