CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVEHARLEY'S POV “Shit, we messed up," I said, talking to the messenger Ava told me to take along; he was still as useless as all the men I have ever worked with. “Ma, she is gone," He said, like I hadn't noticed. We tried kidnapping Catherine's daughter, we got her address from Burke's Mansion and followed her to the hospital. Sereca was a good distraction; she distracted Catherine and ensured Catherine did not come into the house while he broke through her window to kidnap her son. Her son didn't cut himself; we did that to him because he wasn't willing to let us take him, and he almost shouted for help. We wanted to take him along and treat him when his sister started knocking at the door; there wasn't much time on our hands, so we placed the blade in his hand and ran off. We followed them to the hospital to kidnap her daughter, and we lost her again. “Mam," The messenger yelled, dragging to hide at one corner of the hospital. “What is it?" I asked r
CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVEHARLEY'S POV “Don't do that to my sister," Mike said, as he removed Catherine's hands from my nose mask before she removed it. I didn't know where Mike came from, but I appreciated his presence. It was most needed. “This is my hospital, and you need to abide by my rules; I need to see the face of this person, now", Catherine said, about in a yell; it was obvious she was panicking, and the fear of her child had risen. “My sister has a skin reaction and she doesn't like opening her face in public, I hope your hospital understands patient's privacy," Mike said rudely, and I was overwhelmed over how he defended me, I would have talked but Catherine knew my voice, she is too smart and she would guess who I was. “That's why I am Doctor Catherine Tyler; I'll be able to cure her skin reaction,” Catherine offered, smiling; then I realized it was stupid for Mike to use a skin reaction as an escape route when we were at a hospital. Now we are back to being fucked. “No,
CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN BURKE'S POV “You kidnapped her; I thought you were someone who didn't know your way around," The huge man yelled; he happened to be a doctor in the hospital. “I didn't kidnap the girl; she bumped into me, and she was looking for her mother, and she happens to look exactly like the woman I am in search of,” I explained, but they looked at me like I was a crazy person. Humans are something else. I was about to take the girl into the hospital and look for her mother, hoping it would be Catherine, since she had refused to say her mother's name, I asked if my mother's name was Catherine Tyler and she kept mute, like I had asked her a ridiculous question, which was annoying. I held her hand and started walking towards the hospital, but she began to act like I was kidnapping her, until someone pointed towards us, and I was tagged a kidnapper because the little girl had been missing for a while. “Who is the woman you have been looking for, Mate? That's a lame li
CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHTAVA'S POV I could not believe my ears, as Harley and Mike stood there telling me that they weren't able to get Catherine's daughter. “It was a simple task, Harley; how the fuck did you let the Boy and the girl go?" I yelled; immediately, Harley and Mike kept quiet. I walked everywhere around the hotel room, fuming in anger. The plan was supposed to be simple, but since I started walking with Harley, all my plans have been failing, she was too dumb to abide by the plans. “The boy would have implicated us. He was about to yell for help, and someone started knocking on his door," Mike tried to explain, but I raised my hands to his face, meaning he shut his mouth. “The plan was simple, take one of Catherine's children back to the pack, thereby creating a distraction, and then frame Burke up for it, which will make her hate Burke, it was simple Herlay, why couldn't you all deliver a good ass job," I yelled and they kept quiet. I always thought Harley was a bril
CHAPTER FIFTY-NINECATHERINE'S POV “Mummy, didn't you see the man that tried to save me? I kept tapping you to look his way while those hefty men were taking him out of the hospital surrounding," Nikky asked, looking at me with her big round eyes. “No baby, I could not see his face. Clearly; the hefty man covered more than half of his face," I told her while we entered my car. The man looked very much like Burke, although I don't think it's Burke. I am missing Burke too much; now everyone looks like him. “He called your name multiple times and asked me if you were my mother, saying I look exactly like you," Nikky said as I geared the car back to life. “Are you certain about that?" I asked her, looking at the back to see her facial reaction. I wanted to know if that was one of the multiple pranks she played, but she was serious about it. “Shit, people from Crescent Pack are after my life," I muttered to myself. I knew the person we met at the hospital was Harley; I recognized
CHAPTER SIXTYCATHERINE'S POV I didn't know how I landed in Burke's hotel room, all the way from the mall. “Catherine, I miss you," He moaned, kissing me passionately, as he grabbed my right butt. I couldn't help but kiss him back, his lips tasted cold like an ice cube. He pulled me by the waist, and there I was, leaning on his broad shoulders with his mouth covered in mine; he reached out for my neck and gently bit me. I couldn't help but gasp “Burke”… …, I moaned softly, his hands traced out for my boobs, and he gently cupped them while still kissing my neck; at this time, I was already on cloud nine. My body was reacting to every one of his touches. I tried to stop him, but I couldn't help it; I was lost in his touch, a burning sensation ran through my spine, and I wanted more of him. Soon, we landed on the bed, still clothed, Burke's lips found every part of my body.“Do you want me to stop?" He asked, still nibbling on my neck, making me moan louder.“Fuck No," I sai
CHAPTER SIXTY-ONECATHERINE'S POV I got off the bed naked, as I searched around for my clothes. “We just finished having the best time of our lives, and you want to spoil it," Burke said in a pleading tone, but I ignored him. I searched around for my underwear when I remembered that Burke had torn it to shreds. “Fuck me," I cursed under my breath because I'll have to wear my dress without panties and a bra. “Why don't you want to get married to me, Catherine, we are fucking mates, and you aren't in love with Jaxon anymore,” Burke said with authority in his voice. He has forgotten what he did to me seven years ago, which made me seal my heart toward love and mates. “You broke my heart seven years ago, and you want me to run into marriage a few weeks after Jaxon had broken my heart as well,” I yelled at him. My hair was a mess, so I started searching for a brush around his room, but I couldn't find any brush, so I let my hair down and looked into the mirror. I wasn't looking goo
CHAPTER SIXTY-TWOBURKE'S POV “Mummy," We heard Catherine's kids screaming and crying and we ran into Catherine's room.“You said you would be early," The Little boy said, running to give Catherine a hug, a tight hug; Catherine bent to his height and hugged him back. “I'm sorry baby, I got delayed," Catherine said, hugging her children tightly. I looked at the little girl, and she looked familiar, and I could not deny the kind of bond I felt towards them, probably because they were Catherine's children and Catherine was my mate.“I know you," the little girl said, looking at me with her big round eyes.“I do too, but I can't remember where we met," I replied to her with a wide smile, which made her chuckle.“At my mother's hospital, you saved me," She said, running to hug me, I picked her up from the ground and hugged her back. Catherine looked at me, shocked; she gets surprised anytime I try to feel attached to get kids, probably because she loved their father very much. “M
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND EIGHTYCATHERINE’S POVI couldn't say a word when I found Burke on his knees, I sure wasn't expecting to apologize this way but I am glad he did.“Hayley should never have been here babe, it has always been you I have loved you from the very start, I love you, I love the kids you bore for me, I don't know where to start from, I want you to know that I didn't sleep with Hayley, I never have and I never will it was a setup, gosh I am a fuckup why did I ever believe that I slept with her in the first place,", he said. " Babe, it's fine”, I said." Wait, wait wait, I still have a lot to say, I am sorry I never believed you that you didn't poison my food at that moment. I was struggling with my memory and it was a difficult phase for me but that was not an excuse at all”." All I ever want to do is love you, care for you, make you smile, make the kids smile, please Catherine Burke would you do me the honor of forgiving this man and taking him in as your lovely wedd
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NNECATHERINE’S POV Seeing Burke back in the mansion made a shiver run through my spine but that was the least of it, I didn't expect him to take immediate action for what Hayley did to us, that was the best decision he made, I was so proud of him but I still needed him to apologize for what he did to me.I was so excited that I decided to throw a party in the mansion, I mean it is worth it, after everything I have been through, this celebration is just the beginning of having my enemies pay for their crimes.I made sure the whole crescent pack was Invited, there was enough food, drinks, wine, and loud music, everybody danced and they were happy for me. “My lady, I am so proud of you, you pulled through despite the difficult times", I heard Hazel's voice from behind me.“Hazel you made it here, " I said smiling." How could I miss your celebration for anything in the world, even Chicago got nothing on me ma”, she laughed." Thank you so much for all y
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHTBURKE’S and POV It has been difficult the past few days, being in the hospital bed trying to get my memory back, flashes upon flashes of Catherine kept running through my mind before finally getting my memory back, and it's the second-best thing that happened to me after Catherine of course.Realizing how much I hurt Catherine made me want to piss on my pants, I mean who could have hurried the woman I have ever loved that much better still I made the mother of my kids go through hell. I'm sure she hates me now and even the kids hate me more. Because I hurt my family, I decided to remain in the hospital bed, I had to pay for an extra week, at least that would help me hide my ugly face from them, I didn't have the slightest idea where to start from when I am apologizing to Catherine, is it from the time Hayley killed out a baby or the time she caught me with Hayley and even after that when I was on my sick bed she didn't care if I had hurt her she
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SEVEN CATHERINE’S POVI thought I had been shot, fear gripped me when my trigger pulled, I opened my eyes and there was Hayley on the ground and my own Nikky standing right in front of me lightning up the room with her magical powers she stopped me from being hurt, my perfect little girl.“Mum, mum, are you okay?" she said." Yeah, yeah I am fine”.She reached out for the creaky door and opened it up, when the door came open I ran to my baby to hug her . "ooooh my girl, how do you know I was in such danger”, I asked." It's Diago, he tipped us in on Hayley's anger towards Dad finding the truth about who she is and we searched for her in the mansion but we couldn't find her, I knew immediately that you were in grave danger”, she replied. I gave a very deep sigh, that's a huge relief, I get to be with my family now, “thank goodness, where is Diego now?" I asked.“He is on his way here and he went to get a few guards", she said.“Okay, your brothers, whe
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIXCATHERINE’S POV“I'll kill you right now and get away with it", she stuck the knife right at my throat. I stood still because if I moved it would have probably cut me.“Hayley you have to stop it", the bike lurched up in my throat as I made those statements.I wished I had never come back to Crescent Park, and now my children are going to have to grow up without their mother. A scream catches my throat, choking me but I can't look away from her eyes.“I'll cut off your tiny little guts", the fierce nature of her voice vibrates through every crevice of my being. I act strong but deep down I want her to leave me the fuck alone.“Hayley calm down, I'm your sister remember", I begged.“Kill her if you want to, and besides it's important you know that nobody is on your side, you are on your own so you should do whatever you want", Ava's deadly voice came from her end.I wanted to go into Ava's cell and cut off her lips but she is lucky that our cells ar
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVEHARLEY’S POVI was so scared when we found Burke on the ground he was lying helplessly. The doctor said that we brought him right in time and that he would have suffered from a stroke. This is all Diago's fault. If he didn't interfere in my business my fairytale life would still be perfect.“Ouch my head", Burke said from the bed.I turned to him and rushed over immediately I heard his voice “, babe, babe how are you doing?", “Catherine, Catherine, he called.It felt so painful to hear him call her name but what can I say it's this or nothing." Yes baby, your Catherine is right here, I'm here you need rest, please don't stress yourself, I said brushing my hands on his hair”, I said.“Get off me, " he said, pushing my hands off him." Darling, I know it's been a long day, you're trying to get your head wrapped around these things but I just want to let you know that I am here for you”, I said, still confused about why he pushed me off.“Where is C
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOURBURKE’S POV I was in total shock after Diago's confession, I am still trying to wrap my head around the incident, I am trying hard to remember everything but I could not get a clear image of it, it's all fucked up in my head, and it gives me a headache every time I try and remembers what happened. After Diago told me that Hayley was not Catherine even though I could not remember what happened I just believed what he said, something in my guts just made me believe him.This point of my life has to be the most confusing, I don't have the slightest idea what to do, “What are you doing here, don't you know that the Alpha has to rest, leave, leave us now", Hayley shouted at Diago immediately she barged in on us “I'll take my leave now my Lord", he said.“No no no, don't go, what the fuck were you telling my husband, you were feeding him with so many lies and now he has his head fucking stressed out you cunt", she said.“Please I'll beg you not to in
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE HARLEY’S POVIt's been two days since Catherine was locked up, and Burke has been discharged from the hospital, he is just adjusting to his new life with me and I am so loving it, I feel as if I am in a dream and I don't want to wake up, I have been taking care of Burke, making his meals, doing his laundry I made sure those witches Catherine called children didn't come close to him.We were sitting in the living room catching our fun, when he said “Babe, I think I need some fresh air, let's take a walk in the garden".“Oooh, okay, that's fine by me", I replied.We got up and walked outside until we got to the garden. It was a really beautiful day and I loved the weather. " Babe, you know I love you right?”, I asked." Yeah I know, you always have my heart at hand, I am so lucky to have you in my life, like tell me what would I have done without you”, he chuckled." Nothing, definitely nothing, I want to discuss something with you”," Okay, I'm all
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-TWOCATHERINE’S POV I still can't believe that Burke would engage Hayley to do this dirty act with me, I mean how could he have treated me that way, I love him and all he ever does is hurt my feelings, I am glad I am finally done with this hell of a marriage, the only regret I have now is that it took me long enough to realize that Burke didn't care for me.All I can think of now is my kids. I only pray that they are not hurt. I've left them like that in the hands of no one and I strongly believe they are in danger.This dungeon stinks like hell, the rat, and the smell of poop, everywhere made me sick but that didn't break my heart as much as Burke did, I wish I had known earlier, how would he ever think that I would poison him, I have always been the one standing by his side in times of trials, I can't believe he doesn't even trust me, I am supposed to be his wife. Well, I care less about him now, my worry now is how to get back to my kids.A rat passe
