Chapter one

Catherine's POV

It'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 took me in on the day I went for a checkup and found out I was pregnant. He took me in after I told him the story of my life, but what I never knew was that he was in love with me.

“I still love Alpha Michael…”

“But he divorced you, didn't he?” he asked like someone who knows my background and everything about me. Despite that I told him that my Alpha divorced me, I never opened up to him about how I got married to him.

Michael Jackson is the Alpha king ruling the next pack and he is one of the richest Alphas that owns a company. I had thought it was a nightmare when my uncle arranged a marriage for me with Alpha Michael in exchange for the money he owed him. I could do nothing, I had no choice but to give in to the marriage or my uncle would abandon me as well.

Life was hell staying in that mansion as the Alpha's Luna. right from the day I stepped my feet in there, I was locked up in a secluded room—and then surrounded with lots of maids. I never stepped my feet outside, rather he visited me on his own time. I don't feel submissive to him in bed or that might be my end…he rides in me the way he wishes and never lets me go until he's satisfied.

My uncle never asked about my fairing, and I had no means to speak to him.

Life continued that way, even though I lacked nothing—but it was better to be poor and happy ... until the day his lawyer served me a divorce paper.

A hot ball of tears rolled down my eyes and I wiped it off immediately. I lifted my face to stare at Dr. John. “he wasn't in his right senses when he divorced me. He did that because he was insane..”

“No! He did that because you are of no use to him. He's the Alpha and he can have as many women as he wants. You are just a piece of trash to him…” Dr John chipped in.

I sighed deeply. I don't even have to side with Alpha Michael, he's like a monster to me, but I still can't find myself kicking him off my life. When I was told that I was a month pregnant by Dr. John, I thought it was a prank until he showed me the result. How will I turn my back on the father of my twin kids? My wolf will torture me if ever I let them know that Dr John is their father.

“If I won't accept him back, then I should become a single mother—this is because I can't get him out of my life, not when the kids are his and they have his looks as well.'' I held Dr John’s hand. “I'll vacate this building once you get a wife for yourself…I can even do that now if you wish.”

“Catherine, when will you come back to your senses and realize that you're making the wrong decision? Your ex–husband has already moved on…”

“The divorce can be canceled anytime…don't bring this up again.'' I cut him up and ran into the building while he stood outside. I went into the room, sobbing uncontrollably. I could remember the first day I set my eyes on Alpha Michael, my wolf jubilating even before I fell in love with him, only for me to become a prisoner all in the name of being a wife.

He provides everything I need but takes me for granted—maybe because I'm too low-ranked to stand as his wife in public.

But I still love him. I still want to see his face even if it's only once. I want him to see those kids and know that they are his.

“What if he isn't concerned about my well-being? I'm just an abandoned werewolf…no family or husband to look up to. My kids are the only ones I have." I sniffed and wiped the tears on my face. “I should visit his company. He needs to see me and know that I'm still alive." I decided and then left the room after recovering the strength I already lost from weeping.

Dr John already departed when I stepped outside, so I washed off the remaining clothes before bathing my kids. When I was ready to leave, I boarded a cab that drove me to his company a bit far from the pack I'd been residing in.

His company is a very huge one, and I'd confess that it's my first time setting my feet in it. All I know is that my ex–husband has a company which I know its name and the location from my uncle…but I never visited it once until the day we divorced and I packed out.

I stepped down from the car and had my kids standing beside me. Their feet were already firm on the ground since it's already been two months since they began walking.

All eyes fell on me as I walked ahead, I didn't bother sparing a glance at the faces watching me even though they were murmuring. I entered the building only to come face to face with a lady. She stretched out her hand for a shake and I accepted it.

“My name is Jennie Peterson, and I'm Alpha Michael's secretary,” she mentioned.

That name resounded in my ear. I've heard about the Alpha secretary who flaunts herself around her boss, claiming that she's supposed to be the Alphas Luna and not me. Finally, I set my eyes on her for the first time.

She took a look at my kids and smiled. “You have no option than to disappear with the kids, or Alpha Michael won't let you survive his torture since you cheated on him and ended up being divorced..” Jennie or whatever she called herself stated.

I swallowed hard, just about to say a word when three security men approached me and dragged me outside with my kids.
