CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SIXTEENCATHERINE'S POV. Nikky kept pacing around the room angrily, making us feel like betrayals, but we didn't betray her; rather, El and I tried to help me. “Why are you angry, huh?" I yelled, arranging the spell book back on the shelves while El sat on the bed, not wanting to get involved in the conversation. “I was away for only two days, trying to make sure we are in the clear from Harley and Ava and you guys go behind my back to do the very thing that I am against, and you stand there to ask me why I'm angry," She yelled, still walking around the room aimlessly. “Watch your tongue, Nikky; I'm your mother," I scolded her, waving a warning hand at her, which she rolled her eyes at. “Can you remember that I am your daughter?" She asked, and I fell silent because I could not recall her being my daughter; I had just figured out her last name. “I thought as much since you can't recall me being your daughter, you have no right to call yourself my mother,
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN CATHERINE'S POV I opened my eyes and there was a bandage around my stomach. Nikky and El were walking aimlessly around the room, probably waiting to see if I'd wake up. “I need a hot coffee, please," I yelled, and they all turned in my direction, startled. “Mummy, you are alive," Nikky yelled, as she jumped on me, neglecting the bandage I have around my stomach.“Ouch, that hurts Nikky," I said, grimacing in pain. “And it would have hurt a lot worse because I was ready to consecrate your body if you had died," El retorted, angry about the fact that I tried to kill myself. “But I'm awake now and … “" And what, you were bedridden for a full day, and all you can say is you are awake; you got us scared, Mum, and it wasn't funny,” Nikky retorted as she withdrew from the tight hug she almost choked me with. “Why did you do that, Catherine?" El questioned and I smiled at her. “It is Because it helped me remember when Nikky, Ricky, and Dikky were
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND EIGHTEENCATHERINE'S POV Nikky kept arranging my clothes like she didn't hear what I said. “Did you hear me, Nikky? I want to fight and not run," I yelled, and my stomach pain increased, making me groan. “I want to fight too, but this isn't the right time," Nikky yelled, she was done packing the clothes, and El and I were not ready to leave the house. "When is the right time after Harley succeeds in getting Burke to marry her?” I asked, and Nikky's face fell flat like it had already happened. "Burke and Harley are getting married in the next two full moons, Catherine,” El broke the nutshell, confirming my earlier assumption. My heart felt heavy, and I felt betrayed, or rather, I was betrayed by Burke. "That son of a bitch, I thought he loved me,” I said, sitting back on the bed, heartbroken. “He loved you, but things are more complicated now," Nikky said, taking sides with her father. I am sure she is ignorant of what he did seven years ago, after gett
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND NINETEENCATHERINE'S POV Daigo started walking towards us, and we sat inside the car doing nothing. “What the fuck are we going to do?" I yelled, and Nikky didn't give me a response; rather, she was murmuring some spells that probably would help us in this situation. “He won't harm us; just stay calm,” Nikky said after she had finished murmuring her spells. She was telling us to calm down, but her body was doing something different as she was fidgeting continuously, and her hands were shaking as she held the steering wheel firmly. "You aren't staying calm, Nikky, and you are telling us to be calm,” El stated, as fear filled her eyes. “The man is holding a fucking gun, which he can and would fire at us and you are telling me to calm the fuck down?" I questioned, as I began to fidget too, the anger that this man might kill us when we were almost on the brink of taking revenge. “Do you have a better idea?" Nikky retorted, as Diago was already looking at u
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTYAVA'S POV I didn't know why I gave Diago the job of killing El, but trusted him, not until now, when he allowed them to go. I sent a guard to watch him kill El,So I know if he is fully in, but he isn't. “Are you sure he didn't kill them?" I asked, pacing aimlessly in my room. “Yes, mam, he waved them goodbye as they drove off, holding El's dress stained with blood. I'm certain he wanted to deceive you with it," The guard said, and I heaved a sigh of anger. Diago is not with me in this; he deceived me to get in between my legs, and now I told him my secrets and agenda. “Fuck, I'm an idiot," I lamented, hitting my forehead repeatedly; soon, a knock at the door distracted me. “That must be him," My guard said and I nodded my head, waving for him to leave me alone. As my guard left my room, Diago entered, carrying El's dress, and I guessed it was stained with blood, as my guards had confirmed. “Did you kill her?" I asked, pretending not to know t
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONEAVA'S POV I quickly pushed Daigo off the way, so that Harley's bullet could hit the wall. “You can't kill him, Harley; you would implicate yourself," I yelled, and she directed the gun at me. “Oh, I guess I should kill you instead because you are a fool," She scoffed, as her breathing became rough. “What is this all about Harley?" I asked, trying to be cool, even if she was pointing a loaded gun at my head and could pull the trigger anytime. “That motherflecker is working for someone else not for us," She replied to my question, and her anger grew at every second. “That was what I was trying to rectify before you bounced into my room with a. Fucking loaded gun," I yelled, moving from a spot; I was afraid Harley would pull the trigger, and all I have worked for would be for waste. “How did you know that?" Diago asked as he began to shiver at the corner of the door; Diago never acted like a pussy, he fights wars, but this was different; Harley
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWOBURKE'S POV My rage increased as every second passed by, seeing my sister weeping in a torn dress and knowing the man that did it was Diago; I don't even know which is worse. “Motherfucker," I yelled, punching my door opening and rushing out of it. “Burke, please don't do something drastic," Ava yelled, still crying; she was even trying to defend him, Ava is so fucking naive, and I don't know what to do about that. “How dare you?" I asked, pushing Ava's room door open, only to see Diago in underwear, and his eyes filled with terror. “I don't know what she told you, but I can assure you, that I didn't do it," He said, with his legs shaking. I checked around for his clothes, but I didn't find any, which was surprising, but that wasn't my main concern, he tried to rape Ava, and he needed to be beheaded for such a terrible act. “Shut the fuck up," I screamed, pushing him to the wall in anger; Diago didn't fight back; he just stared at me with d
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREECATHERINE'S POV. El and I were living in an old blinding on the outskirts of the coven, very far from the pack, which I didn't like, but El and Nikky believed we didn't have an option. I opened my eyes to a dusty roof filled with cobwebs, it almost made me throw up. “The only reason you are going to throw up is because there is a baby inside your stomach, and right now, there is no baby, so swallow that shit up," El said harshly, as she stared down at me on the bed. “This is a disgusting sight to wake up to every damn morning, and the fact that the cobwebs won't go off it's very frustrating; I mean, what kind of spell did your fucking elders do to this place,” I hissed at her as I got out of the bed. "This was our best option, and do you know why?” She asked, and I knew she would give me a sarcastic answer, but I asked anyway. "Why is that?” I asked, taking a towel and placing it around my neck. "It's because you didn't have a God damn pl
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

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
