CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTBURKE'S POV I made Catherine sleep before going back to my room; I was still shocked that Catherine was my second chance mate; how was I supposed to tell her that? Why did the moon goddess do this to me? I rolled onto my bed, and I was certain I wouldn't be able to sleep, so I decided to meet my best friend and second-in-command, Jack. We were about once a trio until Travis decided to backstab me and fuck my wife, or rather ex-wife, since that day, I broke all ties with Travis so did Jack, although he had been trying hard to get my trust back, which is very impossible, not after giving my wife three children and making me train them. I love the children Sereca gave me, but when I found out they weren't mine, I felt betrayed and banished her and the children; I was hurt when I saw them crying; it wasn't their fault, but they had to pay for their mother's crime. Soon, I was wearing black shorts and a shirt; I hopped into my black Camry and zoomed to Jack's
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINECATHERINE'S POV I am still in shock about what I heard from Burke last night; he was what he did to me seven years ago. Even the goddess won't make him my mate. But he became so sure; I had never had a mate before, though, because I kept the wolf part of me hidden for seven years; it felt like I detached from my wolf because I hadn't heard from her since I left the pack, I haven't even transformed in seven years. I got off my bed and took a quick shower before heading to the kitchen to get something to eat. “Hi, Catherine," Ava greeted me, sitting at the dining table. She filled her mouth with bread, allowing oy crumbs to fall on the table. “Good morning, Ava; where is Burke?" I asked, wondering why I even asked, I wasn't interested in seeing him, not after how awkward last night was, he left the swimming pool in pain and confusion, I once felt bad that I caused the pain, but the truth is that the moon goddess caused him pain after karma had taken a turn o
PROLOGUE CATHERINE'S POV This will mark the second month since I had left My pack. I sat on the hospital chair, rested my head on the wall, my eyes staring at everyone that passes by while waiting for my test result. For a few days now I have been feeling sick and I decided to do a check- up. As I stared at passers-by I couldn't help myself from going down memory lane, my mind went to the day my heart got shattered by Burke Michealson. The events that happened that day began to flood my memory, I had never really forgotten about what happened as it left an imprint in my heart, the whispers of the crowd began to fill up my head. "Sereca" the crowd whispered within themselves and I stood perplexed. Sereca walked towards Burke, and he held her hands passionately. I saw the way he squeezed it gently and gave her a gentle stare, I could see the love in his eyes. An awkward smile crept to the corner of Seneca's lips, I could not tell if it was genuine or fake.
CHAPTER ONECATHERINE'S POVYears later "Wake up, it's morning," I heard the voice of Rikky, my seven-year-old daughter, disturbing my sleep. My eyes began to open weakly, and I yawned, stretching my hands widely. Last night was very hectic because we had an emergency, we had a woman who could not give birth naturally so we had to run a cesarean section for her . I wasn't able to come home until midnight while Jaxon babysat my kids until I was back Jaxon and I met seven years ago when I was very much l pregnant with my triplets, Nikky, Rikky, and Dikky. Although we have been dating for five years now, Jaxon moved in with me two months ago. "I've never seen a doctor that sleeps like your mother" I heard Jaxon's voice in my semi-slumber. I ignored his comment and continued yawning on my bed.It's been years after a very messy heartbreak. Now I'm a mother to triplets, two boys and a girl, a fiance to an amazing man, and also a well-known doctor in Chicago. I couldn't
CHAPTER TWOCATHERINE'S POV It's been two days since the letter from Crescent Pack came in, and I haven't heard a word from them again, for a moment I felt at peace. I do not intend to go back to the place where my heart was broken, by the person I love. Although something inside of me wants to go back to the pack, I want to see how much changes has been made there, Burke's growth, the house, two years back I sent a spy to see how Burke was doing, Jaxon is unaware of this fact, when the spy gave me the news that Burke looked very much happy with his wife and three children, this news broke my heart greatly and I didn't know why, it was as if I wanted evil to befall on them. I never imagined that Burke would be happy without me, he never even cared about my whereabouts, it was like I didn't matter to him and then all of a sudden he wants me back in the pack after hearing how successful I've become . Burke is an ass, I don't even know why I fell in love with him,Jaxon su
CHAPTER THREECATHERINE'S POV "Cat I'm trying to help you, it's best you go back, don't get me wrong I'm trying to save you from that beast," Jaxon said, shoving the chair to the ground aggressively. "I am not going back to my past Jaxon", I said in with the breath shaking I knew that was not the end of this discussion, my voice was not steady at this point, my eyes were already betraying me as tears flooded it, blurring my vision, I tried not to let it down . I can't remember the last time I cried because of Burke. I walked towards the sofa, already tired of the topic with haste, I picked up my suit jacket with my black purse from the sofa. I looked at the time, and I was already very late for work. I moved hastily, I have a few patients to attend to this morning and I was running late, after promising them I won't waste their time. "Are you scared you will go back to him when you see him?" Jaxon asked as I was about to open the door.Hell, it's one insecurity to ano
CHAPTER FOUR CATHERINE'S POV On getting to my office, I dumped my purse on my table and collapsed on the office chair. The smell of drugs and sick patients filled the hospital. It felt awkward with the smell when I was in med school but constant visits to the hospitals then has made me familiar with the smell. The thought of Burke clouded my mind, I was trying to figure out his next action, it was not yet noon, I needed to figure something out but nothing was coming to my head. I wondered if I could outsmart Burke I reached for my purse. I wanted to go home to Jaxon and tell him about it but figured that it was a very bad idea. I didn't want Jaxon to feel scared. I don't want to drag him into this because I don't want him to worry about my well-being. I moved my chair to and fro with my hand on my chin. Why am I clueless on what to do? One thing is certain though, I'm not going back to Crescent Pack, not today, not ever. "What with you?, I have been talkin
CHAPTER FIVECATHERINE’S POV “Untie me now, Burke”, I ordered trying to appear brave but deep down, fear gripped my heart tightly, and I could not feel my breath again. Burke walked to my front, I lifted my head to look at him, he had changed so much, his physical appearance was more appealing than before, and he looked more like a man now. A grin appeared on his face making him even more handsome, with the dimples on the left side of his cheeks, "I will untie you," he said, using his hand to brush his black hair backward, which appeared to be a failed attempt as the hair settled back on his forehead. His deep voice brought me back to reality, and I realized I was still tied. "Ok then, do it," I said, trying not to yell, Burke has an intimidating appearance, that is rubbing off on me and I don't know why. "But you will promise you won't run away like you did before," He said, as he bent to the height of the chair where I was seated. I looked into his hazel brown eyes, the w
