Semua Bab The Alpha Rejected Lover: Bab 41 - Bab 50

CHAPTER FORTYBURKE'S POV I lay on the bed, very tired to go to my board meeting today, but I had to go; it is compulsory I go because my father was recently murdered and an investigation had to begin. I talked to my domestic staff, and they all said Ava was the last person they saw visiting my father, making me confused about who strangled him; Ava can't hurt a fly, not talk of her blood father, and Harley was with Catherine and me when my father was murdered. “Your bath is ready," One of my maids said as she left my room, but I wasn't in any mood to bath. I haven't seen Catherine since today, which was getting me worried, based on how scared she was last night. Suddenly, a hand touched my chest, and I almost flew out of bed; I turned to see Catherine sleeping soundly on my bed. “Shit," I caused under my breath when I remembered that Catherine had crashed in my room yesterday because she was scared to sleep alone after finding out that my father was murdered in his room.

CHAPTER FORTY-TWOBURKE'S POV Soon, the board meeting was over, and I headed to my room quickly; I needed some time to process what had just happened. Jack was taken to the torture room, according to my order; although I ordered them not to torture him, there was a fishy play, and I needed to know it. I got to my room and took a cool shower to clear my head before changing into my daily wear of a back shirt and black pants. When I was done dressing I headed to the torture room to see my best friend. When I got there, there was a line of people waiting to see their loved ones, but I didn't have that much time to join the line. I walked to one of the guards, who bowed to me immediately before everyone else bowed after realizing that I was the Alpha of the pack. “Where is Jack? I demand his presence now," I ordered one of the guards who was in charge of guarding the torture room. The guard gave me a slight bow before going to fetch Jack; I entered the waiting room and sat

CHAPTER FORTY-FOURBURKE'S POV It was my father's burial already; we stood at the cemetery, ready to concentrate his body so that he would rest in peace. There was a rule in my pack: if a body isn't concentrated after death, the body would be restless and would roam around looking for a living vessel to concentrate the body. It was only defaulters of the law we gave that fate to; we believed it was worse than death. I wasn't on good terms with my father before he died, but he doesn't deserve that fate. “Where is Ava and Harley?" I asked Susan in a whisper as I stood in front of my father's body. “I don't know, sir, they have been going to different places lately; I don't know where they always go," She replied, and immediately I suspected Harley for Catherine's disappearance. My mind hadn't been at peace since the previous day; I was worried sick about her. We ordered a night search for her, but we couldn't get a hold of her whereabouts. “Does Ava follow Harley to where

CHAPTER FORTY-SIXHARLEY'S POV I was dragged to Burke's Mansion and made to kneel in front of him; All my hard work was about to go down the drain for nothing. I looked at Ava, and my anger increased; Ava denied me in the presence of everyone; now all fingers are pointing at me for Ethan's death; the only luck I had was that I was with Burke and Catherine at that time. I was taken to the torture room and was getting prepared to be tortured when one of the guards raised me angrily. “You have a visitor," He said and didn't wait for me to respond before handcuffing me. “If I get out of here, I'll make you take your tongues out for talking to me rudely, and then your hands would be next," I threatened, but the guard was frightened by my threat; rather, he ordered me to walk, which I complied to immediately. “I pray it is not Burke I get go see," I said to myself as we headed to the waiting room; I didn't want to see triumph in his eyes; the only joy I had was that I took someon

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTCATHERINE'S POV I was worried about my kids but also worried about myself; how can I feel a mate bond with Burke when I'm engaged to Jaxon? That was something that wasn't understandable. I was already in good health, it had been three days since I got that letter from my kids, Burke had sent his men to make sure my kids were alright, and I was surprised about Burke's devotion to the well-being of my kids, I was sure he had a hint that the kids might be his. It was noon, and Burke and I had a meeting; we wanted to discuss our mate bond because we weren't going to get married. Burke broke my heart years ago and I was still holding to that memory, not willing to let it go. “Your bath is ready," Susan said before leaving my room. I got off my bed and went into the bathroom; I hadn't gotten a shower since today because I was deep in thought. I stripped naked and headed to the bathroom.“Just want I need," I muttered to myself as the cool water wetted from my
