Catherine's POVIt'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 t
Catherine's POVThe way I was kicked out of the company was one thing I never expected. I couldn't set my eyes on Alpha…it would have been better if he was the one that kicked me out, at least I'll be sure that I'm not welcomed into his life—never again.I left back home with the same cab that I boarded while coming. My kids who knew what was going on were just busy, running around the corner while we walked into the compound. As we almost reached the veranda, I noticed something going on in the building. I'm very sure Dr John is at work, but it looked like someone was wrecking around the compound.All of a sudden, two giant men walked out of the sitting room. They stared at each other and then shook their heads.“Who knows if they're after me? Did Alpha send them to get rid of me or capture me?'' I thought, my hands gripped my kids and I drew them to the garage. There we squatted, and they looked at me so surprised, I smiled at them and patted their backs while peeping at the two men
Catherine’s POVMy fists clenched in anger when I took a look at the young man standing before me as Alphas Michael's brother. He had abducted me with the kids since I insisted on not being his woman. Does he even have a conscience? How will he feel about claiming his brother's ex–wife and his kids? No matter, I'd rather be a single mother than get entangled with another man.I took a good look at my kids, they were sobbing uncontrollably, while their little palms tugged on my arm. Tears flooded down their cheeks.“Peter!” I mentioned. That's what he mentioned his name as. He turned immediately and walked closer to me. “Did you change your mind now?” I shook my head to his question. “Take this rope off my body, I need to look after my kids,” I screamed at him, amidst pain but he acted deaf and turned his back on me. “You'll be here until the council meeting with Michael is over. He needs to be well convinced that you are dead after that meeting because I already sent my men to him.” h
Alpha Michael’s POVWithin me, I felt like I was struggling to catch my breath. I forced my eyes open only to see my body lying on a bed. My eyes darted round the room… “It's a hospital!” I released a deep breath and pulled out the oxygen pipe on my nose. My body was heavily bandaged because of the shots that I got—but since I wasn't feeling any pain again, I began losing the bandages.Werewolves are healed quickly, especially the Alphas.The door was slammed open and the doctor dashed in like someone anxious. “Your Majesty, you can't leave until you recuperate totally,” he said to me. I took a good look at him, he's strange… I've not seen that face for the first time. “How did I get here?'' I asked him.He sighed deeply. “A young lady drove you to this hospital with her kids, a little girl and a boy.”That was when I began recalling everything that had happened. “Catherine!” I bit my lower lips. I had to leave my mansion after having a council meeting with my ministers. They gathered
Catherine’s POVMy hands were chained backwards while I was seated on the floor of the cell. It was cold there and everywhere was dark so I couldn't see a dime in the room. That is what it means to be an omega in the pack, there are certain abilities that we lack which makes us the lower ranked.The door of the cell was opened. I knew that because I heard the sound, and then a light flashed at my face. I noticed that it wasn't just one person who came—they were about three, and all hefty men, which I perceive to be servants in the palace.“It's time for your execution!” one of them said and signaled the others to get hold of me.I shook my head. “It's not done that way. You have to tell me that my kids and Alpha are safe.”“You still have the guts to mention his Majesty when he already abandoned you. Don't you realize that you are an omega and you don't have what it takes to be the Luna of this Pack? So stop dreaming….” the other referred bluntly at me.I licked my lips and watched th
Alpha Michael’s POVMy 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 t
Catherine's POV At sunset just like the ministers agreed yesterday, I was brought out of the cell. Standing before the ministers, I was quivering in fear, hoping that they wouldn't change their mind all of a sudden. I want to live, for my kids, and take care of them. I wished to set my eyes on Alpha after a long time of divorce even though I hated him for how he treated me in the past—but I wasn't expecting to pass through all these just because I set my eyes on him.If this is what it means to be his Luna, then it will be better if I stay with Doctor John or rather relocate to another Pack where no one knows me.But still, all thanks to him for showing up on that day to save me, or I wouldn't know what would've been the fate of me and the kids—but it's a pity that the man who was trying to convince me to he his and he will make me his Luna once he overthrown his brother is accusing me of plotting treason which he did.“From today, you'll be a slave and serve the Alpha king in this p
Alpha Michael’s POV: "Out of my way!" A growl rumbled through my chest as I pushed past maids and guards walking past. I was filled with a sense of panic that spread throughout my body like a malignant tumor. I kicked the door to my chambers open, yelling at the guards to get the Pack's physician. I carefully placed her on the bed, the side of the bed dipping as I took a seat beside her. I checked her pulse. It was weak but she had one. Her blond hair lacked luster and was a mess behind her compared to the beautiful golden halo it used to be when I made love to her one time in the past. Pushing to my feet, I walked to the window and pulled the drapes open before coming back to sit on the bed. Hell, I wasn't going to leave her side no matter what. So much had happened and maybe I needed someone beside me too. The physician arrived in less than twenty minutes and I pushed to my feet, walking towards him. "She collapsed. Nothing bad must happen to her, please.
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.
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
