Chapter Six

Alpha Michael’s POV

My 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 these? Those kids can't take after my throne if their mother isn't the crowned Luna, then how will I make Catherine my crown Luna and the kids become royalty?

“I need to plan myself out!” I got seated on the bed drawing my plans. I know all this while, they've been looking for a reason to dethrone me but they found nothing except that I should have a Luna and an heir to the throne—and now that I found my heart's desire, they want to get rid of her from my life. “That's impossible! I can't let that happen!!”

While deep in thought, I fell asleep and found myself at the edge of the bed the next morning. Any slight movement would take me to the floor, so I gradually climbed down from the bed.

“Your Majesty!” the voice of my Beta came from the door. “Catherine will be enslaved by sunset today,” he announced and I felt relieved.

They uselessly changed their mind because they felt that I agreed to the evidence brought before me. I only did that to confuse them because I don't want to lose Catherine, and so I'll do everything in my power to keep her safe even if it means that she will be a slave at first. But the assurance is that I'll make her my Luna as time goes on.

“The ministers also agreed that after that, you'll have to make another choice of who will be your Luna in the pack, because an omega slave who plotted treason on the king can't take that position…” my Beta added, spoiling my happy mood.

“Can you come in and tell me everything?” I screamed at him and he rushed in and bowed to me. I signaled him to come closer which he did. “I never believed in that evidence. Even if she will be a slave at first, how do I make her my Luna quickly?”

“Proof that she was accused, and then end the divorce,” he suggested.

I swallowed deeply. That's a very smart move, but a bit difficult, especially proving her innocence.

“So, do you have any idea on how to prove her innocence? Ending the divorce isn't the issue.”

He pouted his lips. “I think you should start by getting rid of the clip Peter showed you, then a DNA test that will prove that the child belongs to you—and the doctor standing as a witness that such a thing didn't take place.”

I hit my palm on the bed. “That doctor is against me taking Catherine and my kids because he felt that I abandoned her all these while, so there's no how he will stand as a witness…'' I uttered, so baffled.

Silence fell between us for a while before he brought up another idea.

“Then ignore all these and end the divorce, that way you can get the agreement you had between her uncle and you on that day—that will serve as proof that she will forever be yours,” Beta added, and that was suitable.

I still have the agreement form that was signed that day, but it will only be of use after I end the divorce.

“Then I have to get my kids first, I'm scared they will go after them,'' I stated and stood from the bed.

He left the room as our discussion had already ended, and then I got dressed for work. But before I left for my company, I decided to pay the doctor a visit to his hospital to know how my kids were feeling, but the sudden news that hit my ears was terrifying.

“What do you mean by that? I saw him yesterday….just yesterday.” I screamed at the clerk whose head had been bent low since I came into the hospital.

“Forgive me your Majesty, but that is the news that we heard this morning. He was abducted alongside the kids a few minutes after you left his house,” she repeated.

I didn't know what to do. To go home? To my company? Or to the doctor's residence and confirm by myself?

If only I were not the Alpha King, then I would be the suspect of his disappearance, because everything took place after I left. “And those ministers had the guts to tell me that he plotted treason on me with Catherine…” I clenched my fist in anger.

What do I do now? Whoever took those kids is after my throne, because making them royalty means that the throne will never be out of my family.

“Those kids are my priority? How do I locate them?'' I asked the nurse but she shook her head.

“I have no idea. The CCTV footage in his house was all cleared, so there was no trace of how to find him.” the nurse uttered.

This is more serious than I can ever think. But still, I must see for myself.

I twitched out of the hospital immediately heading to the doctor's residence. But just like the nurse said, there was no clue about tracking them, all I could get was a clip that was damaged. I took it up and signaled my Beta to come take a look.

“It looks familiar!” he uttered and I nodded.

Something is going on. While I was busy tracking Catherine to get her back to the palace, someone was tracking her and my kids to take them away from me forever.

“What will you do now?” my Beta asked, bringing me back to reality.

I bit my lower lips. “I'll use this against the minister of Justice, minister of defense, the investigation bureau and the police custody. They must find my kids even if it will cost them to lose their title." I remarked, my heart was burning in anger.

“Why not end the divorce now? It should be the first step. Then after Catherine is enslaved, you can use this against them…”

My cell phone beeped at that moment and I viewed the message. It was from my messenger who I sent to get the divorce files in my office company and hand them over to my lawyer.

I felt my head was blank and that I didn't understand what the message was talking about, so I showed my Beta to go through it.

“The divorce file is missing.” he read out and I let out a scream while on my knees, looking up to the sky. Is this my punishment from the moon goddess for treating Catherine badly years ago?

A hot ball of tears streamed down my eyes.

“They have spies watching around and monitoring every move. Imprison all the workers in my company and royal mansion—only if I find that file will they be safe." I placed an order, and so shall it be done. Whoever is challenging me has touched my tail. First was Catherine, and then my kids that I'm still seeking a solution to keep safe—and now the divorce file
