Alpha Michael's POV:

Of course, I knew she lost her mother at a very young age. Not so young because she was eighteen at the time according to Trenton. But we never really talked about it. It wasn't like we ever talked about anything in the first place so there was nothing much to expect.

But seeing her talk about her mother in this manner, I knew there was so much she hadn't let out. I knew there was a lot she wanted to talk about but chose not to. I saw it in her eyes, in the way she fidgeted as she spoke and all I wanted to do was reach out to her and take her hand in mine.

And when she broke down, I pulled her into my arms because all I wanted to do was comfort her, because I felt the same pain in my chest. I wanted to take the pain from her. I wanted to feel it more than she did and I did. I did feel the pain.

She sobbed against my chest, trembling and tugging at my chest as she cried harder. And never for once did my hold on her falter. I held her. I didn't

    Catherine's POV: My belly protruded, pushing my dress as I tried to push to my feet. Just before I could stagger to the side, Michael grabbed onto my hand and shook his head at me. "You overate," He pointed out and heaved me to my feet. "I know you did because you got so comfortable, right?" Turning away shyly, I nodded my head. "You're not wrong." He shook his head before laughing and nodding. "I see. Is that a good thing though? Eating how you want because you're around me?" I nodded and fiddled with my fingers while fighting my smile. "I do it around people I feel really comfortable with and it's not because I eat a lot. I just eat to my fill." "You're a big eater," He pointed out again and I nearly jumped off the cliff in embarrassment. "So why have you been hiding it from me?" I shook my head. "No, I haven't. I haven't been hiding the fact that I am a big eater from you." He cocked his head to the side before coming to stand by my side. "Are you t

    Catherine's POV: I remained in his arms for a long time and my body relaxed so much I almost slept off. I got accustomed to the scent of his body and his cologne. It had to be the nicest fragrance combination that had ever wafted into my nose and I pushed into him, glad that he got the memo and pulled me in. His chin rested above my head and I could hear his soft breathing and the steady beat of his heart. He kissed the top of my head and pulled away, leaving me empty. He had a smile on his face and he looked down at his feet and kicked a piece of rock close to his shoe before turning to me. "We should start getting ready to go to the lake?" A wave of excitement washed over me and I nodded enthusiastically, pulling him back to the sheets we had spread on the ground. We both packed everything up. I rolled up the blankets while he took the picnic baskets and its content into the car trunk. Soon enough, we were driving down the highway and making our way back to

    Catherine's POV: I looked down at the supposed spare clothes Michael had for me. It was one of his shirts that barely covered my thigh. Sighing, I looked up at him to see a mischievous grin on his face. "You did all of these just so I could wear this, right?" He scratched his head and I glared hard at him. "No. I didn't know I only had these shirts in my trunk. I usually keep extra for emergencies so I must have worn the flannels out." Sighing, I nodded. "Let's act like I have no idea what you are doing." He raised his hand in surrender and shrugged before following after me. We stopped by the banks and took a seat on the sandy grasses. My bare buttocks grazed the sand and I stood up immediately, whining in exasperation as I cleaned my buttocks. Michael looked up at me with raised brows. "What's the matter?" "Why do I feel like you're acting like you don't know what the matter is to annoy me?" "If you would speak faster, this would be easier for u

    Alpha Michael's POV: She smelt like cinnamon and coconuts. It reminded me of the beach and this was the closest we could get to the sea—a lake. My fingers sank into her hair as my lips pressed into hers. I could never get enough of her. Even if I had gone tired after we had sex, I still wanted her on me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me in for another kiss and I smiled against her lips, shaking my head when she pulled away and pulling her back. "Let's remain this way. Please." I whispered into her lips. She nodded and kissed me back. When we were out of breath, she pulled away for a moment and stared into my eyes with a smile on her face. "You look like you want to eat me, Michael." "I want to do more than eating you, you know?" I replied to her. "I want to smell your hair and memorize your scent so whenever you're away or I am, I get to remember how you smell." She nodded and pressed her forehead on mine, sighing heavily. "What do we do wit

    Catherine's POV: My eyes fluttered open to the saturated morning sunlight pouring in through the windows. The drapes had been pulled to the side and I watched with satisfaction as the birds chirped in trees. Somehow, this brought tranquil to my soul and I sank into the bed, moaning softly as I wrapped my arms around the pristine white covers. I had woken up in Michael's bed once again and of course, I had an idea that he was probably not in bed as the kids could be really demanding. It made me realize that he usually woke up before me. Chuckling, I rolled over to see that the bed was empty. Of course. "Do you realize how much of a sleepy head you are?" I looked towards the end of the bed to see Michael standing in front of his closet. He was shirtless and rummaging about his closet for something to wear. I watched his back move with surprising ease. He looked yummy and all I wanted to do was climb out of the bed and walk over to him so I could wrap my arms around

    Catherine's POV: I was slowly starting to enjoy breakfast and dinner with Michael and the kids. The tension was no longer there and I could easily just speak to anyone without the fear of being talked back to really rudely. Michael constantly added a few chunks of meat into my plate from his as he was already filled up from eating so much pasta. "I've always hated meatballs," he grimaced as he added another one onto Julia's plate. She giggled and showed it to Jason who ignored her. "It's not something I am used to eating. " "The kids wanted it and you also said you wanted to try it out," I knifed through my meat as I continued to eat it. "I see no reason why you're backing out now." Julia giggled. "Daddy, don't you like it?" Harvey grimaced and shook his head. "I mean, I do. But not so much. I can manage to eat the pasta but the meatballs? Ugh." Pushing my seat back, I stood to my feet and walked to the kitchen. Luckily enough, the maids were deep frying meat i

    Catherine's POV; Following Jennifer had to be the biggest mistake I'd ever made since I walked into the company. I should have just told her I was okay waiting until Michael came in search of me. The receptionist looked like she had agreed so she nodded and I followed after Jennifer, unsure of what to do. "So you're here to see your husband?" Jennifer asked as we walked towards the elevator that would take us up to his office. Then she cackled. "He's not your husband. I just remembered. You both got divorced from what I heard, right?" I choose not to give her a reply. Instead, I stood in the elevator, looking up at the ceiling and finding a way to get myself distracted from whatever she was saying. She scoffed and walked out of the elevator as soon as the doors opened, turning to look at me with raised brows. "Are you coming with me or not?" Sighing, I slipped my fingers around the handle of my bag before walking out of the elevator. This was my first time b

    Alpha Michael's POV: The rest of the meeting went by in a blur. I could barely concentrate on what the men were saying. All I wanted to do was walk out of that room and tell the men never to return. These weren't the investors I was expecting. They looked like they were scammers disguising as stinking rich Arabians. Finally, the meeting was over. I shook hands with the men and promised to get back to them before they left and as soon as they did, I turned to my employees. "Who was the one who referred them to us?" They all looked from one person to the other and soon enough, they had their eyes on one of the men seated at the far end of the room. He looked older than everyone here with a pair of thin glasses against his eyes. Pushing to his feet, he nodded. "It was a push notification so I clicked on it and saw that it was a great opportunity. We have had contracts with other Arabian investors and that has always turned out well so I believed it was the s

    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

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.

He used the way he wanted, reminding me all the time that Michael would never love me again since I cheated on him.

    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
