TAKING BACK MY EX-LUNA Chapter Seventeen
Alpha Michael's POV: I'd been so thankful that I had stayed back to watch her play with the kids. I wouldn't have caught sight of her going over to the pool or even slipping and falling. Immediately, I lost every form of control, running out of my office and nearly flying through the walls to get to her. From the way she had taken the fall, I knew that there was no way she could regain some sort of control over the water. And now, she lay in her bed, her face pale and her eyes red from staying in chlorinated water for that long. "I'll take care of that," I said to Catherine who somehow found it difficult to lift her hand. She looked up at me for a brief moment, smiling at me before letting the spoon drop into the plate. I took over, perching right beside her and taking the tray from her hand before I began to scoop the soup and push it into her mouth. Jason was right on the bed beside her and she threw an arm over him like she was protecting him from

Catherine's POV: The kids are asleep now and it is really late and somehow, I can't sleep. I don't want to admit to it but I know I am still awake because I am waiting for Michael to return. At the sound of gates opening, I find myself sitting up awake and checking to see if he's the one but he isn't and once again, I remain in bed, watching the ceiling and waiting for him to finally return but he doesn't. At exactly ten o'clock, I heard the familiar sound of his car door being pulled open. Pushing to my feet, I hurried out of the room, wondering why I was so excited for his return when I wanted to have nothing to do with him. I stood by the door, watching as his car cruised to a halt and he stepped out. He had bags in his hand and he shut the door to his car before turning and making his way towards the porch. When he got close to the door, he stopped to speak with one of the guards at the door and like he sensed me, his eyes darted over to me and the small smi

Alpha Michael's POV; "Why have you chosen to take her back in? After what she did to you? She left you for another man!" I was seated in my throne room, watching Peter prance around why he yelled and yelled over everything and nothing. He had the guts to pay me a visit even after I had warned him, even after it was so obvious that he had been the one to mastermind it all. He was still alive and standing here because I was yet to find any evidence against him. My full suspect was Jennifer and if no dirt was found on her, he was going to be the next person to go after. "Brother," He walked up to me and I stood to my feet. "The divorce papers are missing for your own good. It is obvious that the moon goddess doesn't want you calling off the divorce. She left you when she should have stayed so let her pay for her sins." "You know," I began, walking in the direction of the small table standing on the far end of the dais. "For someone who has always hated me right bef

Catherine's POV: I had gotten a text message from Doctor John this morning, asking for us to meet at one of the coffee shops close by because he had something important to tell me. That message had gone un-replied for hours and I blocked the thought out, engaging myself in other activities like making it a point of duty to take care of the children and serve them breakfast. Jason had been so happy when he woke up to his new Lego plastics. It had him extremely elated and he had talked about nothing but hai Lego until Julia yelled at him to keep shut. It had been awkward and amusing at the same time but I chose to keep quiet, knowing fully well that she was that way because she had gotten a Barbie doll which she hated so terribly. I knew my daughter and I knew that she cared for Michael because she wouldn't have gotten so mad that Jason had gotten the perfect gift while she got something she terribly hated. It was my duty to make her see the good in him. She was a

Alpha Michael's POV: The next morning, I decided to spend the rest of my day at the company. I hadn't been around for several days as I had been occupied by a lot. Once again, I'd left the Palace without seeing Catherine. I had gotten information that she had gone out yesterday with a sundress. I had no idea why but I guessed she needed some time alone to enjoy the solitude so I had no issues with that. On my arrival at the company, I was greeted warmly once again by my staff and this time, I returned a stiff nod each time they greeted and waved at a few who were closer to me than the others. My office was cleaned up properly and the smell of wood, charcoal and coffee wafted into my nose. It was a relaxing scent and for once in a long time, I was glad to be here in my office. Jennifer was yet to appear at the office and I wasn't so bothered. As we weren't going to talk anyway. After this arrest, I believed she was going to keep to herself. I spent most of m

Catherine's POV: After my meeting with John yesterday, I had been slightly disturbed by it all. Having to sit and listen to him turn me away from Michael had been more annoying than I expected it to be. I knew he was in love with me and wanted to take care of me but it was getting too much. Talking about Michael was something he couldn't stay without doing and somehow, it was putting me off. But I tried not to think too much about it. Why was he so invested in him so much? Also, the lights that had flashed in our direction for that split moment were suspicious as hell. There was something definitely off about it and I honestly couldn't tell what. I had tried not to think about it but it was impossible to do so. When I returned home yesterday, Michael was out so I spent time with the kids while absentmindedly going back to my date with John. I probably shouldn't have gone to see him. Well, it has happened. There was no need to lament about spilled milk. T

Alpha Michael's POV; "How is she doing, Doctor?" "She's getting better. Her sickness wasn't so serious. She must have caught the flu but she is doing well right now." After loitering for over an hour, news finally came. Catherine was fast asleep with Jason cuddled into her. I gave them one last look before walking into the ward with the doctor. Julia was awake and she was watching a cartoon on the television. I stood by the door, watching her with a smile as she snacked on crackers. "She looks well indeed. When will she be discharged?" "Tonight, if possible," The doctor replied. "But she will be taking a few medications. You will get the prescription from the front desk on your way out so you can get it from the dispensary." "Thank you, Doctor. We will be leaving tonight." I replied. "I'll leave you to her then." As soon as the doctor left, I stood by the door for a while, watching as she ate from her bag of chips and laughed before I walked into the r

Catherine POV:There was something off about Michael. He'd been quiet the whole time, only answering to sleepy Jason who kept asking him questions. Even when we were taking Julia's prescriptions, he had lost a lot, not even hearing most of my questions and all of that. “Michael?" "Yeah?" He whipped his head to look at me. "What's up?" "Uhm, nothing," I muttered. "I wanted to ask something but she already got clarity." "You sure?" He asked and I nodded. The rest of the drive remained in silence and I kept watching him from time to time. Julia fell asleep and he made it a point of duty to take her up to her bed. I followed after him with Jason holding my hand and when I tucked him into bed, I went in search of Michael who had already left Julia's room and I found him in the kitchen, sipping from a glass of orange juice. A pill bottle was on the kitchen island. “Michael?" He turned to look at me and gently placed the cup on the counter before he slipped the pill bottle into hi

TAKING BACK MY EX-LUNA Epilogue
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.
TAKING BACK MY EX-LUNA Chapter: One Hundred & Thirty-Eight
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
