CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTCATHERINE’S POV I have been on the bed for the past three days after El broke that disgusting news to me. I didn’t bother to ask for an explanation, because all my life, I lived as an orphan, raised by my foster parents. El revelation explained the family bond I had always felt with Harley and I hated it before but now, I have mixed feelings. I want to know what it’s like to have a biological family, I want to know what it’s like to have a sister, but my sister is the freaking Enemy, and this mentality is messing me up.“Stand up, mum,” Nikky said, barging into the room, she was exhausted by my sudden change of behaviors and unwillingness to train.“Nikky, I am very tired. It's still two moons till the stupid wedding, allow me to rest,” I yelled, still lying on the bed and not ready to stand up.“Mum, today makes it one moon to the wedding and Diago is going to be beheaded if you don’t get up and fight, that wicked Woman Harley,” She yelled,
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINEHARLEY’S POV I started pacing in the room, waiting for Ava, my guard had told me she sent people to kill El, even if I was against it, she felt El was a threat. Soon I heard a knock at the door and my adrenaline increased, and I tried to control myself for any unnecessary outburst because it would require another miracle for me not to rip Ava’s head if El is confirmed dead. “Come in,” I yelled impatiently, desperate to see Ava.“Good day mam, your wedding dress is ready, do you want to test it?” A maid asked as she entered my room. “No, I don't, just leave it in Burke’s room, I will pick it up later,” I said, disappointed that it wasn't Ava, although I tried not to show it.“Okay ma, do you…”“For fuck sake, I said I don't, now leave me the hell alone,” I snapped at her pouring all my anger on her. She looked surprised before leaving the room. I was more concerned about El not being killed, after confirming that Catherine was my sister, I
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTYBURKE’S POV My wedding is in three days and I'm at the quarantine house to tell Emma about it. Soon Emma will be free from the wolf’s syndrome. I know she would be very angry that I married Harley and not someone else. I stood outside her quarantine room, staring at her weak wolf through the window that was opened a little to enable me to see through it.“You will be whole again, very soon,” I assured her, staring at her wolf, she groaned loudly, still laying on the floor, looking lifeless. “I’m marrying Harley for a reason, don't get angry at me for betraying Jack, I didn't even want to get married before, seeing you like this, made my heart break and I knew I owe my friend, big time,” I continued talking even if I knew she didn't understand me.“This is not a way of paying Jack off, I promise I still owe him, please try and stay in there for me and the kids,” I said, and she groaned at me again, like I was disturbing her and it made me chuckle.
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-ONECATHERINE’S POV Nikky has been making preparations for the wedding day, tomorrow is going to be good. I was mixing some herbs when I heard El coughing again. She didn't die, because we were there in time for Nikky to save her, she was at death's doorstep but she didn't know how to enter. “How are you feeling now, El?” I asked and she scoffed, like she didn't care about what I was saying and she glared at me. “If something is wrong, El, you have to speak up, so we can do something about it,” I yelled and she scoffed again, looking angry this time. I didn't know what made me angry, the fact that she had refused to speak with me or the fact that she was still reluctant about us killing Harley. “She tried to kill him El and like it or not, Harley would be thrown to the dungeon, be happy you would be alive to watch me take revenge,” I sneered at her and she looked at me with sad eyes.“I don't mind it if Harley is going to the dungeon for her crim
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWOBURKE’S POV I stared at the ceiling, still thinking about the fact that I was going to get married to Harley today and not Catherine.“Fuck Catherine, you still have me wrapped around your fingers,” I lamented, feeling the mate bond and it was getting stronger every damn time. I stood up from my bed, reluctant to go to my wedding, there was no excitement, nothing made me want to get married today, except for Emma. Soon I heard a knock at the door and I assumed it was the maids coming to dress me for the wedding, they dress me for special occasions though, and the wedding isn't special to me, so ill prefer dressing by myself. “I am not ready to get dressed, come again some other time,” I groaned out loud, running a hand through my hair.“It is me and not the maids, Burke, open the damn door,” Ava yelled, knocking loudly. I heaved a sigh before going to open the door.“What are you doing here Ava? Are you trying to change my mind?” I asked, sar
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-ONEBURKE’S POV I quickly dressed up, anticipating Nikky’s surprise, she gave me the motivation to go to my wedding. I wore an Italian suit and slipped my black hair backward, which complimented my suit. I wore a black shoe and checked myself in the mirror, and I was looking good.“Time to go for a wedding, when my mate bond is still strongly bonded with my ex-wife,” I said to myself, exhausted of everything, it wasn't easy for me to bring myself to marry Harley when Catharine doesn't want to let me, I always feel it's because she hates the idea of me getting married to another woman, especially when it's Harley. “Catherine please forgive,” I said to myself, as I opened my door, to go to the wedding which was being held in the garden. “Hi,” Harley said, as I opened the door, my eyes widened in shock, what the fuck is she doing at my door on our wedding day, does she have a change of mine? She should know that I need to save Emma.“Hi, What are
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVEHARLEY’S POV Burke turned to me shocked before turning back to Ava was still dumbstruck at the fact that Catherine was alive and healthy.“You tried to kill me, didn't you?” Catherine asked Ava as she walked towards her, the gasps from the crowd increased at the sound of that, I prayed to the moon goddess so Catherine wouldn't implicate but she didn't listen to me, because Catherine’s next attention was towards me.“Are you surprised?” She asked me, smiling sheepishly. I opened my mouth to speak but I found in words to say, Catherine is fucking alive, all our efforts are over. “How are you alive Catherine and what the fuck is Ava’s crime in your alleged death? I don't like themPointing accusing fingers at my sister,” Burke said, looking pissed because Catherine was accusing Ava of her alleged murder, he is still supporting his sister.“I saw Ava and Harley watching my mother’s house burn to the ground when I ran to save her, the body you all c
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVECATHERINE’S POV My ears didn't hear correctly, or I chose not to believe that another woman was carrying Burke’s child and not just another woman, my sister was carrying Burke's child.“Is this true?” I asked Burke and he looked clueless but he wasn't denying it, meaning he had slept with Harley on the bed we shared.“I swear to you Catherine, I didn't know she was pregnant,” he said, gulping hard.“Did you have sex with her? Because you aren't denying being the father of her child,” I yelled and his eyes made it clear that he was the father of her child.“It happened only once and I…”“Shut the fuck up, you were fucking other women when my body wasn't yet cold in the grave,” I yelled, as tears fell from my eyes, the thought of Burke and Harley having sex was something that would never leave my head even if I wasn't present to encounter it.“I am sorry Catherine, firstly you were dead and…”“And you were horny and wanted to fuck any motherfucker a
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
