CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

CATHERINE’S POV

I pulled away from Burke's grasp quickly and switched the light in the room on, only to see Burke looking haggard like he had gone into a fistfight with someone; he brushed his hair backward, attempting to remove the hair on his forehead, which was fruitless once again.

“Your father's drip is tampered with; we need to do something," I said, ignoring his question. He did not seem pleased about my sudden change of discussion, but he answered me, he had to go along with my conversation.

“That's not a problem; I will get the guards to watch his room thoroughly,” he said, looking into my eyes; I couldn't stand eye contact, so I diverted my gaze towards the window.

"That's the thing, the person is among the domestic staff; you can't trust them, and you can't trust Harley, so telling Ava to watch your father means Harley would come along, “ I said, and Burke saw that what I was saying was right.

" Okay, what if we watch him together, “ Burke said,

    CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEHARLEY'S POV Catherine is a real pain in the ass. I have been standing in front of Ethan's door to listen to Burke and Catherine's conversation, but they are talking in a hushed tone, which makes me angry. I have always wanted just a night with Burke, even if we don't have sex, he just acknowledged me for that night, but that was a mere wish, as Catherine is getting all I ever wanted. “Bastards," I said, trying to think of a plan to break what blossomed between them; the poison I placed on her dress did not affect her; if not, she would not be falling helplessly in love with him after their past. The poison was gotten from a great witch, Elphaba, who lives near my pack. She says the poison should be rubbed on her dress and she would never see Burke as a mate, but no see is even seeing him as a husband. “What are you doing, man," one of the guard's voices caught me off guard, making me knock on the door mistakenly. “Shit, are you fucking happy?

    CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURCATHERINE'S POV I have been on my bed since morning, not wanting to leave my room, at least not after yesterday night, when I was almost caught cheating on Jaxon, and I was caught by Harley of all people. Burke's confession was still ringing in my head, and I wondered whether what he said was true, whether he liked me, or if it was just another game. The kiss Burke and I shared last night was extraordinary, something I would do over and over again, without thinking twice, and that was the problem; every second I spend in Crescent pack, I am bent on cheating on Burke. Suddenly, a knock at my door jolted me from my thoughts; it was still six in the morning, so I wondered who was knocking at my door so early. “Hope it's not Burke," I said to myself, as I remembered our passionate kiss last night, which almost ended in sex until Harley interrupted. I placed my hand on my lips and rubbed it gently, smiling sheepishly at myself. “Come one, girl, it's Ava, ope

    CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVECATHERINE'S POV I rolled on the bed aimlessly, as tears blurred my vision, I couldn't believe I was dead and I died without seeing my children. “Ethan, is there a way to come back to the land of the living? I need to see my children," I said, crying, and suddenly everywhere fell silent. Burke and the doctor he was talking to turned to look at me with amusement in their eyes, and they all burst into laughter simultaneously, making me wonder what was wrong. “Can they see me," I asked myself, looking at Ethan, at Burke, and the male Doctor that stood beside Burke. “Can you see me?" I asked Burke, who almost burst into laughter again. “Yes, I can, dummy, you are alive," he said with relief in his voice; Burke must have been thinking that I was going to die. “That means Ethan is alive," I asked. I looked at Ethan, who appeared to be very healthy. Without any trace of sickness, I wondered who removed his drip. “That's not Ethan Cat, that's my uncle Josepha

    CHAPTER TWENTY-SIXHARLEY'S POV Ava kept pacing around the room aimlessly, making me exhausted; I don't know why she was that restless; it was not like we killed someone. “You said she won't get hurt; you said she won't fucking bleed," She yelled, looking at me with anger; I know she was scared of blood. That was why I kept that information to myself. “I would have told you the truth, but you wouldn't have gone for the message if I had told you, and you know I can't go, she won't drink anything from me, I have already blown away the chance I had," I said, smiling devilishly, the sound of Catherine screaming out of pain on her bed, made me happier. I would have loved to hear her scream; too bad I couldn't witness it. “What if she dies, you don't even think about me?" Ava yelled, still walking aimlessly into my room. I have a room in Burke's Mansion, and that was on Ava's order; Burke hates going against his little sister, so he had to allow me to stay. “She won't die, it's j

    CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENBURKE'S POVThe room was quiet as I held the poison in my hand; I was certain that it was the poison because I saw how Harley fidgeted when I stared at it initially; I am very good at reading people's emotions. I knew my sister had something to do with poisoning her but I wasn't sure, Ava is not capable of murder, when I saw Catherine, she was bleeding from her eyes, nose, and mouth and Ava couldn't stand the sight of blood, so she would have screamed when she saw the blood, or she would have fainted. “What do you think you are holding smart ass," Harley said, and I knew the game she was playing. I did not know what I was holding, but I knew it was poison based on their reaction and how frightened they looked as I held the gun. “I'm holding a poison, Harley; I'm not stupid," I said to her, and she held her mouth in surprise like she had not seen that bottle before. “That is not mine; I'm just observing the bottle; that is where I keep my Serum; what the fuc

    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

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
