CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE
AVA’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 a plan when we fight right?” Mike asked in an attempt to prevent a fight between Harley and me.
“Shut the fuck up,” we yelled at him, and he kept mute immediately, but he was right; we can’t fight our enemies and fight ourselves as well.
“Now that Jack is dead what will we do?” I asked, sitting on the empty chair opposite my bed. My hair was scattered, and I hadn’t had a good shower since Jaxon was jailed, but that was the least of my problems.
“We should be glad he is dead because nobody would be there to protect him except Catherine,* Harley replied to my question, and she was fucking right about that; Burke has lost someone Valuable.
“Burke would have a hard time telling them about how he died,” Mike continued and I made up a plan immediately.
” What if we framed Burke for Jack’s death?” I asked, smiling at Harley.
“You are so fucking smart, Ava,” Harley praised me, smiling sheepishly.
“Then we need to get to the pack before they do or notice you aren’t around,” Mike said, folding his hands on his chest.
“There is no need to rush, Burke won’t be in a hurry, he would want to concentrate on Jack’s body first, Jack need to rest in peace, he was such a fucking good man,” I said, brushing my hair for the first time in days, I need to look good because I have a plan, and I’ll avenge my lover, Catherine took his freedom away from him.
“Is there a way to get Jaxon released, so we can head back to the pack?” I asked, remembering the promise I made to him while we were having sex. I told him he would be my husband, even if he wasn’t a wolf.
“There is no time for that, Ava; we need to frame Burke for Jack’s murder and also get rid of your uncle, who is willing to be Alpha; there is no time for saving your lover,” Harley said sternly, making me angry, but I had to control myself because she was right.
“How do you know he hasn’t concentrated Jack’s body and he is on his way to the pack? ” Mike asked, and I rolled my eyes at him, he had forgotten I was always a step ahead of Burke and Catherine.
“I sent Sereca to spy on them and make sure that they don’t try anything stupid; if they had left, Sereca would have told me,” I replied to his question, trying to calm him down.
“Sereca is still in love with Burke, I hope she won’t blow our cover?” Harley asked and before I could respond, we heard a knock at the door.
“It’s me, Sereca, and it’s not the fucking cops, open the darn door,” Sereca yelled from outside the door after we left her knocking for more than twenty minutes; we wanted to be sure it wasn’t the cops again.
I went to open the door and Sereca entered, wearing a mini gown with heavy make up like she was just coming from the strip club.
“Yes, I’m a stripper. Can you guys stop staring at me with judging eyes,” She said shamelessly, and that was the reason I liked her more than Harley.
I remember when she was accused of cheating on Burke, she didn’t make an attempt to deny it, and she didn’t even beg for forgiveness; she took her kids away from the pack without looking back.
“You look good, damn,” Mike complimented, giving Sereca a flirting look, which was disgusting.
“Thank you,” She replied to his compliment without looking in his direction, which hurt Mike’s ego; I could tell from the frown on his face.
“I hope you have good news for us, been that you have been watching Catherine and Burke for days,” Harley said rudely, she doesn’t like Sereca and the feelings were mutual, Harley was the cause of Seneca’s divorce, so Sereca hated her too even though they were from the same pack.
“Yes, I found out that Jack is dead,” She said like she was giving us vital information when we were the ones that killed him.
She waited for our reply but got none.
“Fuck, you guys were the ones that killed him,” She said, surprised. She didn’t know Killing was among our tasks.
“That’s some fucked up shit, Ava; he was like a brother to you,” She said, judging to just like Jaxon.
“Tell us some fucking news about Burke and Catherine; beside Jack was never my brother,” I stated harshly, looking into her hazel brown cat eyes.
“Burke and Catherine have concentrated Jack’s body,” She said and I was surprised at how fast they were. Jack’s body didn’t even spend a day before it got concentrated.
“That was quick,” Mike said, and that was exactly my thought.
“Yes, they are headed to the pack two days back, and would have arrived by now,” She said, and my mouth fell open in shock.
How was I going to tell Burke about my whereabouts?
