CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINE
CATHERINE’S POV
Burke and I decided to keep our relationship private, not because we didn’t trust our family, we didn’t trust Harley and if she finds out, she might do something drastic.
“I still think we should tell Nikky though, it has been a month and Nikmy is clueless she has a baby sister, coming soon, you know how she wishes to have a sister,” Burke said, still trying to persuade me that it was time to let the family know.
“Burke, I told you, Harley will do something bad if she Finds out that I am carrying your child, alongside her, and I don’t want to go through pains with this child,” I glared at him, and he nodded his head in response.
“So, allow me to get off this bed, get into the shower, take a bath, and cook something for you,” I suggested, kissing him on the lips tenderly.
There is not much thing for me to do as Luna and Burke, on the other hand, always cancel their meetings just to spend time with me.
“That would be nice but cooking means you would have to be wearing clothes and I fucking love seeing you like this,” he said, exploring my naked body with his hand.
I pushed his hands away, with a giggle, he wouldn’t allow me to leave the bed if I didn’t make an effort.
“Baby, you know I can’t go another round of sex,” I sneered playfully at him, as I got out of the bed.
“Why? You always love many rounds,” Butke groaned and I chuckled.
“Firstly, it is because I am pregnant,” I replied to his tantrums and he rolled his eyes at me like I didn’t give a reasonable reason.
“So, you told me you had sex with Jaxon when you were pregnant with the triplets and besides I love pregnancy sex,” Burke said, looking very lustful.
“Burke! That’s different, I was just a few weeks pregnant, it wasn’t up to a month,” I yelled, smiling, although I was slightly embarrassed and my cheeks flushed red.
“Okay, I’m sorry that made you embarrassed but you get my bed, so hop on the bed, let’s have our breakfast,” he suggested, dragging me closer so I could sit on his lap.
“That isn’t all,” I said and he rolled his eyes in frustration, he knew he wouldn’t be having his way today.
“What else again, tell me,” he said, dragging imaginary circles on my breast, trying to turn me on and it was working, so I flung his hands off.
“I am tired, we have been in each other hands for too long, we need to see the outside world, our honeymoon is over, don’t you think?” I asked, grabbing a towel and covering my nakedness with it.
“Yep, you are damn right, we need to get the fuck out of this tight room,” he said, sarcastically, I chuckled before deciding to go into the bathroom.
“Wait, before you go into the bathroom, I want to ask you something,” he said and I shrugged my shoulder, giving him a go-ahead.
“I am listening,” I said because he was still waiting for a confirmation to speak even after I shrugged my shoulder.
“Why do you love Harley? Don’t get me wrong, but I feel you are hiding something from me,” he stated and I nodded my head in response.
“Yes, there is something I haven’t told you but I’m not hiding it from you,” I said and he smiled in response.
“Out with it then, I want to know what Harley has against you that you are faking the love for her,” He inquired and I frowned at him for thinking I would fake love for Harley, if I don’t like her, there is nothing she can do about that.
“First of all, I am faking nothing, don’t ever make that kind of assumption,” I warmed and Burke raised his hands in surrender.
“What is the second thing you want to say?” he asked and heaved.
“I love Harley because she is my sister,” I dropped the bombshell and Burke burst into a round of laughter, he was probably thinking I was making a joke and when I didn’t laugh back, he realized that I was serious.
“How the fuck is that possible, you are an orphan from
Crescent pack and Harley is from Hoang pack, this shit doesn’t add up,” He lamented and I knew he was still in shock.
“It adds up, Baby, and I knew about this family bond when I was with my grandmother, El,” I continued talking and Burke’s mouth fell open.
“Fuck no, El is not your grandmother, you are a wolf and she is a witch,” Burke said almost in a yell, confusion, and shock were evident in his voice.
“My real mother was a witch and my father was a wolf, why did you think Nikky is a witch?” I scoffed and that is when the realization dawned on Burke, El, and Harley were part of my family.
“I want to know everything, or rather, I need to know everything, so start talking,” he said, impatiently, making me chuckle.
“You need to relax, big guy, I will tell you all about it during breakfast,” I said and he shook his head in disapproval.
“Fuck breakfast Catherine, I want to hear all about it now,” he demanded and I laughed at his impatience.
“Burke, allow me to bathe, so I will tell you all about it, during breakfast, I am starving, meaning the baby is staving,” I whined, pulling out the pregnancy card and it worked, I wasn’t surprised.
“Okay, just go take a shower, I’ll meet you at breakfast,” he said, as his impatience died down.
I went into the bathroom and took a cold shower, it looked like I had not gotten a good bath in days, although I have, but I was more of sex with Burke in the shower than bathing in the shower itself.
After bathing, I wore a short dress and left Burke in the room so I could make breakfast.
Soon I was in the kitchen, arranging the things to cook.
“Is there something you want, Luna Catherine?” one of the maids asks and I stared into blank space for some time, to ensure this was real I am the fucking Luna of the crescent pack and I will be addressed as one too.
“Luna Catherine, are you alright?” the maid asked when I didn’t give her a reply.
“Fuck yes,” I said, as I snapped out of my imagination world because she disrupted me.
“I asked if you needed anything, Luna Catherine?” she asked again and I shook my head in response.
“No, I am fine, I just want to make breakfast for Burke and me,” I assured her and she looked worried, to my surprise.
“I am sorry, Luna Catherine, I never knew the meal I have been making isn’t up to your taste,” she apologized and my mouth dropped open, I didn’t mean it that way tho, how was I going to tell her that?
“No, dead, I loved your meal but I want to cook something delicious for Burke and me, and that has nothing to do with the meal you cook,” I assured her and she nodded her head, looking relieved.
“I will be by the kitchen door if you want something,” she offered and I nodded my head.
Soon I was left alone in the room, I made pancakes and hot tea, one of Burke’s favorite dishes.
“Call the Alpha to come eat his meal,” I said to the maid and she nodded her head.
While I was setting the table, Burke walked into the dining table with his hands tucked into his Dermin jeans.
“I have never tasted your food,” he said, drawing out a chair and sitting on it as I served his meal of pancakes.
“Now you are going to taste it and give it all the positive comments, you have,” I chuckled.
I placed his pancakes on the plate, in front of him and watched him rub his hands together and salivate at the same time.
I entered the kitchen to get a glass cup to make his tea and when I was done making the tea, I sat beside him and watched as he prepared to start eating.
“Don’t eat that food, Burke,” Harley said, as she entered the dining table, interrupting our moment
“Why the fuck would he not eat the pancakes I made,” I groaned at him.
I walked to where she was and she just scoffed at me.
“That food was poisoned, by Catherine, after all, I am not the only Villain,” She accused me of trying to kill Burke.
“What the fuck you talking about?” Burke asked, feeling offended by her accusation.
“If I am wrong, why won’t she take a bite of the pancakes and tea,” she suggested and I agreed to it with a mod, I didn’t try to kill him, so proving it was a problem.
I took a bite from the pancake and a sip of water.
“Are you happy now,” I asked and Harley came closer to me and flung the breakfast I cooked for Burke on the floor.
“Yes, I am,” she said, giving me a wicked smile that I couldn’t understand.
Soon my stomach began to hurt, and blood filled my nose but I did my best to hide it.
The food was poisoned and Harley poisoned it, she deceived me to drink it, so I would die.
“This is just the beginning,” I said, in pain.
