CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE

BURKE'S POV

I wore blue suit pants and jackets because that's Catherine's favorite color.

The only thing I could think of was Jack, who would have been my best man on my wedding day, but now I'm stuck with Diago, who is my right-hand man and acting second in command till Jack's son comes of age to take his rightful position.

I stared at the mirror, admiring myself and how the suit jacket clung to my well-defined shoulders.

“Have cold feet?" Diago, who had been sitting in the empty chair in my room, finally spoke up; he is a man of few words, meaning he rarely talks.

“No, I'm just nervous," I said, adjusting my suit jacket.

The kids were already at the garden where our wedding ceremony was supposed to be held. They are overly excited about our union but not as excited as I am.

"What about your sister?” Diago asked, noticing he had not seen Ava since he came here.

Diago has always had a soft spot for Ava, but she doesn't see it, or rather, she doesn't wa

Diago asked, seeing that I had lost the ability to form any word. Ava was crying too much, that we could barely hear her explanation. "What happened to my bride Ava? Speak the fuck up,” I thundered, feeling all the hairs in my body begin to stand; I was slowly losing consciousness, and my wolf was getting the better of me. "You have to calm down, Alpha; we can't handle this if your wolf is out of control; look at your kids; they are getting frightened of you,” Diago whispered. I turned to look at my kids and they were hiding behind a chair, crying with fear in their eyes. It hurt me to see them like that. Immediately I calmed down and gestured for them to come to me, but they initially refused. "Come on, daddy's not gonna hurt you,” I said, and they ran towards him and hugged me tightly

I ordered a search party to look for Susan, but there has not been any positive outcome, which is making me angry, but I have to keep my cool. Several board members have been trying to talk to me, but it has been impossible because I ordered guards not to let anyone in; I needed time to get over Catherine's death. “Alpha Burke, your bath is ready," The maid said before leaving the room. I kept her quiet, as that had been our daily routine since Catherine's death. As the maid opened the door, Diago entered my room pushing her out of the way. “We tried to stop him," The guards said, as they stood at his back. “It's okay," I waved my hands at them, and they all left my room, except for Diago, who took a comfortable seat beside my bed. “The Almighty Alpha Burke had fallen drastically," Diago mocked, but I ignored him, he is an asshole so

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXAVA'S POV I have been thinking of a way to present Harley to Burke so she could get married to him, although nothing was coming to my head. Burke wouldn't marry Harley, except there is a necessary reason to do so, he hated Harley because she killed Jack, although she didn't work alone. “We can't think of a way baby, just hop back on me and ride me," Jaxon said, trying to kiss me, but I pushed him away. I was already getting exhausted from Jaxon; he is bad in bed and always acts like a pussy in front of Harley. I will soon send Jaxon away. The only problem I have is that he knows too much and might want to expose us if I break his heart. “Jaxon, I am thinking, if you can't contribute to this, then shut the fuck up, let me think," I said, getting off the bed, with my naked body. I searched around for my robe, and when I found it, I slipped on it to cover my naked body. “Harley can go there and explain to Burke that she killed Jack only because she loved him,"

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVENBURKE'S POVI lay on my bed, still thinking of the last time Catherine and I kissed, at our supposed wedding day; if I knew I wouldn't be seeing her again, I would have never let her go that day. Today was another board meeting that I needed to go to because I had been absent for over three weeks. The last person I talked to was Emma, about the fact that I am still feeling the mate bond with a dead person. “The moon goddess has gone crazy," I said to myself, rubbing my chest gently. “Your bath is ready," A maid said, coming out of my bathroom; I nodded my head at her before she left. I haven't seen the kids since Catherine's burial, because I have chosen to lock myself up in my room, but they are in good hands, that I'm sure of. “Another day to be Alpha," I said to myself, getting off my bed. I walked to the bathroom to take a quick shower, trying to forget about my heartache, but it was to no avail. Soon, I was done with bathing; I tied a towel around my

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTBURKE'S POV I didn't know what to say at the moment; the realization dawned on me that my pack wanted me to get married again when I hadn't been able to move on. “That can't be the only way; I just lost my wife-to-be; I can't get married immediately," I yelled; the truth is that I am not even planning on getting married again; if it's not Catherine, then I'll stay single till death. “You can't put people's lives at risk because of one person, Alpha; they are your people, remember?" Diago said, but it fell on deaf ears. The thought of getting married again was something I didn't even want to think of. Besides, it has been two weeks, and I still feel a mate bond with Catherine, something stronger than ever, and I don't even know why. “We know you are going through a lot and would not be in the right senses to find a wife, so we found some for you,” My Adviser said, and soon, ladies of different skin colors and sizes started entering the board room.

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINEAVA'S POV “I give you two minutes to get that murderer out of my room, or else I'll take drastic action," Burke threatened, giving Harley a death stare. “Burke, you need to calm down, It's funny how Harley did all those things because she loves you. I respect the dead, but Catherine would never go to different extents for you the way Harley would,” I said, trying to convince him. I thought hard about this before coming here. I know Burke would object at first, but I don't know when he would come around. Infecting the pack with that syndrome the witches created for us was a way to force Burke to get married, but it looks like that would not even work. "Can you listen to yourself, you kidnapped Catherine, tried to kill my son Ricky, tried to kidnap my daughter Nikky, she killed Jack, and rumor has it that she killed our father too and you bring her here as a bride for me to marry, what do you think the pack would say?” Burke asked, before resting his body on

    CHAPTER NINETYCATHERINE'S POV I opened my eyes, and my vision was hazy, my head was pounding, and my body arch was arched badly. The environment I was in was not familiar a bit; there were a lot of charms everywhere, and my best guess was that I was in a coven. “Ouch," I yelled, holding my head because of how much it hurt. I tried sitting up, but I realized there was a drip connected to my hand. “You are awake, I thought you would never wake up," I heard an elderly woman's voice. Her voice didn't sound familiar, so I turned to look at her immediately. She was seated in a chair opposite my bed; she was old, and she looked like a witch. “Are you a …,” “Yes, I am a witch and you are in a coven," The woman said, smiling at me. She barely had teeth and there was a dimple at the left side of her cheeks. “How did I get here?" I asked her, as I managed to sit up, resting my back on the wall. “A man brought you here; he claimed to be one of your guards; he says you are in tr

    CHAPTER NINETY-ONE CATHERINE'S POV I couldn't remember my name nor my personality, who I was, and what had transpired in my life before getting here; I was like a blank slate. “What did you do to me? I don't know anything," I said and there was silence. She gave me a strict stare, probably because I was accusing her; what was she expecting me to do? “I did not do anything for you, and I feel angry that you are trying to blame me for anything," El said, with sadness in her eyes, I didn't like that she was angry at me. “I am sincerely sorry, El," I apologize even if she didn't look angry; rather, she looked sad and in pain. “I can't remember who I am and what I did before getting here; what happened?" I asked and she shrugged her shoulders, saying she didn't know what happened to me. “I can't say, but I know that you were brought here in a very bad state, and your head was brutally injured and triggered your loss of memory," She said, and the headache came back but didn't last
