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 SIXTY-THREEAVA'S POV “When we leave here successfully, you will be my husband, the husband to the Alpha," I said almost in a whisper as Jaxon drew traces of kisses on my neck. I don't know how it happened, but Jaxon and I are dating. He is the most handsome man I have ever seen and he treats me like a queen. He never loved Catherine, that's why he cheated on her, and he just divorced his wife for me.“Are you going to give me the money I asked for?” He asked, giving me a love bite on my neck as he pressed my boobs tightly so that it almost hurt.“Fuck yes," I said, and I don't know if I was replying to his question or replying to the pleasure he was giving me. He pressed me against the door and continued nibbling my neck, the pleasure was good, but it wasn't enough, so I took one of his hands from my boobs and placed it on my fuck. “You are a naughty wolf, you know that?" he muttered, smiling at me as he massaged my pussy. I have never felt this good. “Why the fuck wo
CHAPTER SIXTY-FOURCATHERINE'S POV I checked Jack's pulse multiple times, but nothing; he was dead, and I didn't know how to break the news to Burke, who was waiting impatiently in the hospital. Jack was given twenty-two clean stabs in his stomach, and he had bled too much before we got to him. “How is Jack?" Burke asked immediately. I got out of Jack's hospital room; I could not look at his face to break the news to him, so I looked to the ground. “Catherine, is this a fucking Joke? How the hell is Jack?" He yelled, holding me tightly on my shoulders so that I could barely move. Still, I didn't give him a response; he was already getting the message through my body language. Soon, the door went open, and my nurse rolled Jack's body onto a stretcher covered with a white bed sheet. “Where the fuck are they taking him to Catherine, stop them," He yelled, as tears came down his eyes. My heart stopped beating for a second; I had never seen Burke shed tears; Jack's death must hav
CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVEAVA'S POV I was still in shock at Jaxon being in jail, and finding out that Catherine was behind all of it fueled my anger; I'm certainly going to get her in her most unstable state. “You know we need to leave Chicago?" Harley asked, stuffing her mouth with some crabs, humans eat nasty food. “Why, we have not finished our business here, we were supposed to kill Catherine and Burke, but now they got the love of my life," I yelled, getting angry, remembering how Jaxon was taken by the cops, wearing only underwear. “Jaxon doesn't love you, forget about him," Harley said rudely, and I turned to look at her with anger in my eyes. “And you think Burke loves you?" I asked, angrily thinking I was getting on her nerves, although I wasn't. She was not even moved by her harsh come back at her. “He doesn't love me, and the feelings are fucking mutual, Ava; I just want power and also to get back to my pack,” She said as she stood to face me. "You know we can't think of
CHAPTER SIXTY-SIXCATHERINE'S POV It took much persuasion and apology from Burke and my kids to get me back to the pack. With my kids, I love Burke but the main reason I am here is to make my kids familiar with their origin and their father. I made one of my doctors watch over the hospital while I was gone, getting to know Burke all over again. I laid on the bed, watching him sleep peacefully, wrapping his arm around my bare waist, while I placed my head on his naked chest. “Are you just going to stare at me? A Luna has a lot of work to do,” He said, with a deep sleepy voice, as he opened his eyes only to see me staring at him.“Luckily, I'm not yet Luna, Burke," I said, giggling, getting off the bed, showcasing my naked body without shame. "We will be getting married a few moons from now,” He whined, brushing his hair backward. "I haven't even said yes to your proposal," I said to him as I walked around the bed stand so I could sit beside Burke. “Kiss me," I ordered him
CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVENBURKE'S POV I was at the board meeting with my councilmen and left Catherine to handle Emma and Ava. I was still shocked that my sister told Emma that I killed Jack; I didn't even know who told her that news, although she had not been in the pack since I got back. “Where is Jack? He is your second in command, and he needs to be present in every meeting," Diago, the son of the oldest man in the pack, said; he was already taking over his father's position as the Alpha's right-hand man, even though his father is still alive. “He is dead; Jack died in Chicago," I said plainly, with my voice cracking; the heartache I felt when he died came back in full force. “Then where is his body? He needs to be consecrated so he can rest in peace; you know how it's done, Alpha Burke," My uncle said with an accusing tone; I wondered why Ava had told him. “I consecrated his body in Chicago,” I said, without fear in my voice; I wasn't bothered about what they were going to say
CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHTBURKE'S POV “What are you talking about Ava? What did Harley do to you?" I asked, and she wiped her tears away. “When you left for Chicago, she kidnapped me and took me there, she made me watch as she killed Jack, and… “Before she could finish her statement, she burst into a round of tears again. My anger was already rising, and I could hardly feel my feet; my eyes were turning red, and if I got a glimpse of Harley, I'd snap her neck from her head."And she forced you to frame me for being the killer, or she'll kill you,” I completed her State because she was too heartbroken to speak.“Yes, I'm Sorry I did that to you; I was at gunpoint," Ava said, crying profusely; I believed her because Ava isn't capable of spoiling people's names, and not me, her brother, who is the only family that she has. “Yes Burke, she will kill me when she hears that I failed in the job of framing you," She said, still crying and holding my feet. I lifted my sister to her feet.“Sh
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
