CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHTBURKE’S POV I stood there perplexed and surprised, the whole event was immediately turned upside down, members of the pack began to mumble amongst themselves because it is a bad omen to lose a corpse, my body froze immediately, what on earth is going on here, I could barely even explain the circumstances of things happening around me, the eldest man had left in a hurry because of the incident I could barely move my arms, my eyes searched around and it fell on Catherine, she immediately turned away from me “Oooh Catherine, how could you do this to me,” I said to myself. It was as if she knew what was happening as she remained unmoved, without any form of regret, my eyes immediately fell on Hayley and it was the same thing, at this point I couldn't pinpoint who to blame for this misdoings.I knew I had to do something, I immediately forced my feet out of the ground, I am the Alpha I shouldn't be caught weak and unable to speak, I walked to where
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE CATHERINE’S POV Taking Grandma El's body from her coffin was one thing I am very happy that I did, it's the first step to taking my revenge on the people who have hurt me which is Hayley in particular, she doesn't know how it feels to lose a baby that's why she is still walking freely in my home.I've promised I'll deal with her and I'll make sure I fulfill my promise.I went to quickly see Ava and tell her the good news. I made sure no one saw me when I entered the dungeon. Ava was there just, I guess she was in her world “Ava, Ava", I called her attention. " Hmmm Catherine, you're here today and you're smiling. I hope all is well?", she asked curiously.“ All is well I have good news", I replied excitedly…." Do you care to share?”, she asked., "off, course I took Grandma El's body from her corpse Ava, I did it to show Hayley that I'm not small in the game and that she would pay for making me lose my baby”, I replied, still very much excite
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY HARLEY’S POVI still could not pinpoint why I moved Grandma El's body from where it was, I wondered what Catherine was going to use the dead body for because I mean she is dead so therefore her body whatsoever is useless, but what can I say at least I am not the first thief.Natasha had given me specific instructions earlier on to secure Grandma El's body because of the potion that had been used on Nikky, she mentioned the fact that the potion could make Nikky do any of my biddings except to kill and that if I wanted Nikky to kill I needed the dead body of a dead witch.And viola, who better than the dead Grandma El, it felt like a thing of joy because everything was singing in the right places for me, Grandma El dying at the exact time I needed her body that's just the moon goddess been on my side and giving me a sign that I am the next Luna, only that wicked people like Catherine has refused to get out of my way. Well with the plans I have in store fo
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY-ONEHARLEY POVAfter my encounter with Nikky I knew it would be a difficult task getting her to do my dirty works as maids and guards are always surrounding them, I did not know why I didn't think of that earlier on, it's so annoying having this powers but not being able to use them, Nikky has been acting strangely and it would soon be obvious that she is under a spell and I really want to act fast before anyone finds out but I just don't know what to do.I left the house, I need to talk to Natasha about this .I left the Mansion without a word to anybody and headed straight to Natasha's haunted house .“Natasha, Natasha”, I called from the living room when I got in the house but she was nowhere to be found .My curiosity got the better part of me and I walked to the corner of the house and there was Natasha romantically touching grandma El's body .“Nat… Natasha , I said I was shocked .She got up quickly after seeing me, “wh… what are you doing here, w
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TAO CATHERINE’S POVBurke has refused to talk to me ever since he figured out I stole Grandma El's body, to make matters worse he got angry with me when I told him that someone had stolen the body from where I kept it and I seriously hate fighting with him, it makes me helpless for the past weeks we have had nothing but the continuous argument and I do not like it, he has refused to sleep in the same room with me he would rather stay in the guest room. I feel like my presence disgusts him. It's not his fault though I acted out of control but he should have at least understood that I lost my child because of Hayley.He walked in to pick up a few of his stuff and completely ignored me but I was tired of the silent treatment.“Burke, Burke you can't keep ignoring me, you know I did it for both of us, I shouldn't be the one suffering, I did it for us, I'm only just protecting our family, she's the intruder, not me”, I said."Really cat, you're still blaming
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE CATHERINE’S POV “What are you doing in my daughter's room" I screamed immediately. I saw Hayley seated comfortably on Nikky's bed.“Nothing, we are just catching up and having fun together", she replied sarcastically.“Yes mummy it's nothing to worry about we even ate together", Nikky added.“Get out of this room, before I call the guard to throw you in the dungeon”, I yelled at her."Take a chill pill, I'm leaving now”, she replied.She adjusted herself for a bit before finally finding her way out." Mummy she is my friend you shouldn't have sent her out like that”, Nikky cried. “Friend?, is she the reason you didn't come to the table for dinner?”, I asked in surprise." Yes, she said she wanted to eat with me so I said why not, and I know you don't like her so we agreed on staying here rather than going to the table?", she replied.“Did I not warn you not to talk to her again?", I asked.“But mum she is my friend", Nikky cried out.“What do yo
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR CATHERINE’S POVI strained my eyes to get a clear vision of where I was but all I could see was darkness, “You're awake", a voice came from the corner of the room and then there was water rushing down my body, it was as if I had fallen into a pond of water.This time my eyes were very much open and I could see Hayley standing right in front of me.I looked around to find something familiar but the whole room was strange and dirty, I could hear the squeak of rats, it was like a room made for pigs. Then I saw a painting on the wall and immediately my mind went back to when I was held hostage by Ava and Hayley here some months back.“Get me out of here you evil fellow", I said struggling to get the rope tied on my back off, but it was still holding my hands firmly.“Calm down Catherine, the drama has just begun, you know I might have another surprise for you", she said with a smirk on her face.What more surprises could she have for me, the fact that
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE CATHERINE’S POVI opened my eyes and all I could see was myself on a nice bed with people staring right into my face, “What is it, do I have something on my face e I asked?",“Yeah, she is awake, she is finally awake everybody", dicky screamed in excitement.Then immediately Burke walked in with the family doctor, he held my hands and I knew immediately that he wanted to check my pulse rate the next thing he said was: " she will be fine just make sure that she eats good food and has a lot for rest”." Thank you very much doctor, I'll send a message to you if I need any assistance.”, Burke replied in excitement, I watched Burke and the doctor leave the room and then there was Burke again back in the room seated on the corner of my bed.“What happened to me?"I asked.“Long story short, you are back home and we are all happy that you're back", Burke said.“Thank you, my love, what about the kids where are they?", I asked worriedly.“They are all fine"
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
