TAKING BACK MY EX-LUNA Chapter Twenty-three
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

Catherine’s POV: The next morning, I am awake really early. Julia is awake when I slip into her room and Jason is right beside her with a glass of milk. Frowning, I shut the door behind me. "Jason, where did you get milk from?" He pulls away from Julia and gently places the cup on the table beside him. "Dad. He was here this morning to give Julia sown milk but she refused until I came." Then he looks at Julia who doesn't look the least bothered. "I don't know why she keeps being hard on him. He's so nice to us and even tries to spend time with us but she doesn't seem to like it." Sighing, I take a seat beside Julia so that the both of us are flanking her. "I think we need to give her time. Julia, you shouldn't be hard on him all the time. He's nice to you and to us all. I know you don't like him but do have respect for him at least?" A knock sounded on the door before anyone else could say anything. Pushing to my feet, I walked to the door and pulled it open. A m

Catherine’s POV: At exactly thirty minutes past nine, I am already dressed. My ivory dress stops above my knees but isn't too indecent to show skin. According to the dress maker, she said Michael didn't want me wearing a ball gown as it was just a dinner get together. It was why we chose this dress. It was beautiful. It shone under the light in its ivory glory and the golden sequins were cast against the walls in the most beautiful shade I'd ever seen. My makeup was impeccable, pristine and commanding respect. Even with a red lipstick on, it made me look very much respectable and I loved the cherry bubble lipgloss she lined over the pale brown lipstick. My hair was combed up on a chignon bun, glimmering under the lights that lined my room walls. I looked so beautiful. So beautiful and when I stepped my feet into my ivory pumps, I knew I was here to rule tonight. All the nervousness escaped my body and was replaced by this intense feeling of confidence. I knew I was going to t

Alpha Michael's POV: From the moment I stepped into the Palace, I could tell that Catherine was deeply uncomfortable. Of course, it was her first time being the host of a dinner get-together and I had asked that she take care of everything, which was a dick move by the way. I knew I was mad at her because of what she did last night and I had asked her to do this mostly out of spite which was definitely the wrong move. No matter how mad she made me, I shouldn't have asked her to do any of that. It wasn't good for either of us or our guests. But I was surprised to find out that she was doing really well with everything. She was taking control and that made me so happy but I didn't dare show it. I just stood there, watching as she welcomed the Alpha of Dark Moon before I decided to step in. The surprise in her face lingered even when I stood around and when I left, I left with the assurance that she was going to take care of everything. And now, I am back. Of

Catherine's POV: After dinner, everyone was left to mingle with one another. I remained in my seat for a long time, bracing for socialization and watching Michael do it so flawlessly. Well, he knew a lot of people here and I did not. Not at all. "You're lucky, you know?" I whipped my head to the side. A woman who I hadn't seen was seated right beside me, a beautiful but caustic smile on her face. She had the most beautiful shade of blond hair and her eyes were as blue as the seas. None of that did justice to her beauty. She was an epitome of perfection. "Hello to you too." I replied, feeling slightly awkward that I was being directly spoken to. "And what do you mean?" Her eyes fleeted over to Michael who stood before two men with a glass of wine in his hand. I turned back to look at her. "You're so smitten." Smitten? What the hell was she talking about? I would have asked her to mind her business if I didn't have to pretend like I really was. From the looks of

Alpha Michael's POV; After she left, I went straight to Celine, pushing past the other guests and not even looking at their faces. She was standing with Grace and they were whispering about something that made her cackle with laughter. "Excuse me ladies, may I have a minute with Celine?" "Of course," Grace nodded, a smile still on her face. "Thank you for inviting us tonight. Great dinner by the way. Your wife is so beautiful. I wish I had talked to her before she left." "His wife?" Celine spluttered a laugh and before she could say anything else, I pulled her to the side and took her away from the hall, right back to where I was standing with Catherine before she angrily left. "What the fuck is wrong with you, huh?" She raised her brows in faux confusion. "What are you talking about? Don't tell me you pulled me all the way from the hall to this place to ask me that?" "What did you say to her?" I hissed, glaring down at her. Celine only leaned against

Catherine's POV: "You're not leaving. I will not allow it." Those were his next words after my speech. His expression was unreadable but I know he really means it when he says that I am not leaving. "Why?" I asked, eyes wide in exasperation. "Why won't you let me leave? Why would you tell everyone we are divorced and yet, you won't let me leave? Why? Have I done something to upset you? Tell me if I have because I am tired of all these. I am tired of being on the receiving end of everything. It never affects you. Hell, you're Alpha Michael of Evergreen Pack and I am just a woman who happens to be your Luna. Unluckily. So what exactly do you want from me?!" "Nothing, Catherine. I think you're making a brash decision right now and this is me not trying to manipulate you believing you're wrong for wanting to leave. I totally understand why but I don't want you to leave because we can talk this out." "What's there to talk about?" She flapped her hand and sighed with

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
