Jean’s POV
A slight yawn escaped my lips. The doctor was right about taking adequate rest, I feel better. I had just woken up for a long nap and came downstairs to head to the garden when I noticed the maids moving past the hallway in haste with filled-up trays in hand.
“What is going on?” I asked one of them.
She bowed slightly. “The Alpha called to set up dinner, he is expecting an important guest.”
A guest? That is strange. Dame has never hosted any dinner with h
Kate’s POV“You have had quite an eventful day,” Lois said almost choking on his laughter. I snorted, biting into the apple I held. He is having a lot of fun laughing at my misery. It’s quite funny that I really had to deal with two egoistic wolves in one day. Dame went as far as asking if I could go with him to a hotel instead to spend the night. I was on the verge of knocking him down. But I maintained a calm face while insisting that he dropped me off at Lois’s. “It just seemed like today was the day I was fated to be frustrated.” I groaned.
Mark’s POV“You are not helping, Carl. I need a way out here.” I mumbled into the receiver, rubbing at my strained neck. He chuckled. “I never knew you had this side to you. Kate must have really touched the deepest part of your soul.” “This is your last chance. I will end the call if you refuse to be of actual help.” “Get her some chocolate and flowers.”
Kate’s POVA light chuckle escaped my lips as I typed quickly on my phone screen in a bid to respond to Miguel while heading toward my car. I have been at the office all day and got off late. My heels clicked noisily on the asphalt. He didn’t let me get all of my responses in before calling. I smacked my lips, shaking my head.“I was just about to give you a piece of my mind. Why did you have to call?” I questioned, grinning. He made a snorty laugh. “I couldn’t
Mark’s POV“Are you taking that to Kate again?” Rayna queried while pointing at the ice pack in my hand.“Yes. As you know there is no one else to look after her.” I stated the obvious.She snickered. “Of course there is, you are just blind to it. I am the female here and should attend to her.”“She is more familiar with me.”“Which doesn’t matter. It is the middle of the night and you are heading to a she-wolf’s room. What does that say to you?”I can tell where this conversation is headed. But I am not going to give her that satisfaction. “She is my family.”“No, she isn’t. She is your late father’s wife. Which means she doesn’t exactly belong to the family any longer. I bet there is something else you are hiding.” She growled, letting her wolf to the surface.I squinted my eyes at her. “Like what?”“Why don’t you tell me? I feel like I am a second thought in my boyfriend’s mind whenever it comes to Kate. Your eyes are always following her like a dummy.”“What nonsense are you spit
Kate’s POVMark didn’t bother hiding how irritated and pissed he is at Miguel’s presence. I was taken aback when I saw Miguel’s missed calls so early in the morning. Only to call and realize he had spent the night in his car because Mark refused him entry. I know they have their differences just didn’t realize it was this deep. The pain relief I took had worked so well, that my body felt fit as soon as I woke up. Aside from the dull aches, I feel fine. “Hey, baby.” Rayna cooed running up to Mark. Sometimes I can’t help but think that she seeks out every me
Kate’s POVMy wolf was practically chuffing through the entire ordeal of me positioning myself into the shortlist to appear sick. Lois wasn’t having it. Knowing how dangerous Dame can be, I don’t want to make it easy for him to get a hold of me. At least until I have been able to deal with him halfway. “I still don’t get it, Kate. Will his presence ease the attack from yesterday? Also don’t forget that he might be your assailant. What if he comes in here to finish you off totally?” “I have you here with me, don’t I?” I retorted, rubbing the ach
Mark’s POV“Do you always eat like that?” I snarled at Miguel. He raised his head slightly from the plate of pasta and made a mocking face. “Yes. If it bothers you, you should leave the table.” “This is my house.” “My godfather paid for it.” “Miguel!” I growled.
Dame’s POVMy wolf scratched the earth's surface intensely as I kept running. It is so weird that anyone would pull up an attack on Kate. I couldn’t sleep a wink all through the night and had to put a call through to one of my trusted guards to carry out an investigation. From the company’s car park CCTV footage, the culprit was seen entering and making the attack. Only one camera was able to record the scene. He must have missed the positioning of that camera. After touring the woods long enough, I returned to the packhouse. After getting dressed for work, I stepped out of my room into the hallway bumping into Jean.
Kate’s POVA Year and a Half LaterMy fingers sank into his bare back as he plunged into me. I could almost taste him at the tip of my tongue. His strong plan raised my ass cheek enabling him to thrust deeper. Mark grunted in pleasure as I wrapped my legs around his waist urging him to take all of me. His thrust was fast and hard. I was almost out of breath. I moaned loudly at each thrust. Our arousals lay thick in the air. A satisfied scream escaped my lips as he hit me hard and my entire body came undone like a surge of electricity just moved through me. Mark increased his pace and let out a loud groan, nutting inside me before he collapsed next to me panting slowly. I chuckled, caressing his chest with my finger.“How was it?” I asked, kissing his sweaty forehead.He turned to me, smacking my ass. “Magical as always.”“Is that so?” I teased.He smacked me again, his eyes smiling. “Stop being such a tease.”“I love to know that I got you good.” I grinned, causing him to cackle. “
Kate’s POVMy wolf paw thawed through the wet grass. I ran like my life depended on it. Hoping my worries will float away with the wind. My heart thumped really hard like it might leap out of its cage. Thinking through the last conversation i had with Mark which was a month ago. My head feels like it would explode. How he was able to say things like that to me without feeling awful, is so painful.“Stop thinking over it. You will keep hurting yourself.” My wolf said.I halted all of a sudden, falling to the ground helplessly. The tears that I had held back for so long rolled down my face uncontrollably. I wish I could just disappear to somewhere unknown and forget about all these troubles I have gotten into. From the look of things, finding true love might not be a part of my fate. I might be doomed to live by myself with no one to love me right. Learning to be happy with myself seems like the best thing I can do to get out of this. The thoughts are drowning me. Heartbreaks are quite
Mark’s POVI can feel their judgmental eyes on me. I clenched and unclenched my fist hating how she chose to ignore me instead of addressing the accusation. Seeing her today is a mix of emotions. Kate drives me to the edge. I wanted to sweep her off the ground, seeing how exhausted she is. At the same time, i wanted to question her for causing our relationship to hit the rocks. But i did none of that and allowed my anger to take charge.Barrister Alan walked up to me, putting a hand on my shoulder. “Mark, son, I don’t know what just happened. I just hope you will resolve it soon. You know in your depth that they do not make she-wolves like Kate anymore. Make sure your anger is justified.” He made a grunt and excused himself.I sat down, pulling at the root of my hair. I expected Carl to say something, instead, he walked away not sparing me a glance. Lately, he has been quiet. I can’t tell what is going on in his head. I felt a part of my headache. Tears pricked my eyes painfully. I di
Kate’s POV“I wish I didn’t have to come here,” Kate whined to Karen as they got out of the car.The barrister had sent consistent reminders and put calls through to make sure she doesn’t forget how important her presence is. If she had other ways, she would have stayed back. Seeing Mark so soon after their last discussion, has her feeling on the edge.Karen wrapped her arm around me. “You will do just fine, Kate. Don’t let yourself be bothered.”I didn’t say anything as my thoughts kept jumping. My wolf also tried to make me feel calm but I just can’t ignore the anxiety. Does he miss me? Has he been as miserable as I am since things went sour? I wish things would work out between us. I am even willing to look over his cheating. All I want is for us to be back together. But I guess that might not work out as I desire.Alan had asked that we meet at the house. I really wish he would have made it his office. That might ease any form of awkwardness. But I could lean into Karen’s presence
Kate’s POVMy body felt cold when I eventually found the strength to get off the floor. The blood in my limbs must have dried up considering how heavy they were. I went into the bathroom and sat in the bathtub while the water filled up around me. What a day! I don’t think I was this drained and lost when my father died and Dame made me a laughing stock. I crumbled then, but this time it was pure hell. The tears I shed ripped my insides to shreds at every heave. I just couldn’t hold back. Everything I loved was crumbling right in from of me. I guess anyone in my shoes would have felt the same.On second thought, I feel like I deserve it. My greed is the reason I couldn’t let go of Charles and just focus on Mark. I wanted to have a taste of freedom and indulge in a bit of recklessness. It bites me really hard in the butt. It was just a little flirting and a little kiss. All the same, it was wrong of me. Mark has no fault even though he cheated too. But I pushed him to it.I can’t cry an
Author’s POV“He did what?” Lois blurted, spitting out the juice in his mouth.Karen sighed, twirling the glass in her hand. They had returned from the Diamond Pack with Kate looking like her entire world had crashed down on her. One can tell just how unhappy she has become. The sight of Davina in Mark’s shirt with a smug look on her face already gave away the clue that their visit wouldn’t end well. It was hard to keep Kate down from visiting Mark to plead with him. However, she understood her persistence and just had to drop everything she was doing to travel with her.Hearing Mark dismiss Kate because of his own guilt was quite disappointing. Left to her, he was undeserving of her explanation from the start. It seemed too easy for him to move on. Everyone is experiencing a hard time because of him. And it didn’t take him long to dip his dick into another honeypot. Since they arrived, Kate has locked herself up in the room, refusing to talk to anyone. It is quite troubling not knowi
Mark’s POVThe morning sun burned my eyes as I attempted to open them. After struggling for a while, I eventually sat up with my eyes wide open. Letting out a loud yawn, I glanced to my side shocked at the person with me. The memories from last night came back stinging me in the head. I gulped hard. What the hell was I thinking? If I was drunk that would have been a perfect excuse. But I wasn’t. Davina was not drunk too and I remember she kissed me first. Why didn’t I say no to her? Fuck!Easing myself out of the bed, I got dressed quickly and tiptoed out of the room, not sure I had the courage to face her. What would I say? And how will I explain what just happened? After claiming to be in a relationship, I ended up sleeping with Davina with my eyes wide open.Unable to contain my thoughts, I ran out to the woods as fast as my legs could carry me. My wolf appears to be having a good time mocking me. My head aches like I have a hangover. Last night blew my mind. All I could do after r
Mark’s POV“Aren’t you going to answer that?” Marilyn asked handing me a glass of lemonade. I took it from her, mouthing a thank you. Lois is the one calling and I have promised myself to not respond to any calls that come from the Redmoon pack. Not even Karen can talk to me right now. They all knew about the things Kate indulged in and none of them talked her out of it. They must have been having fun fooling me. How I got myself together and returned home is still a mystery. I had nowhere else to go and who to turn to except Marilyn. I arrived last night and remained glued to th
Kate’s POVThe room was silent like there was no one in it. If not for the occasional heavy sighs from Karen and Lois, one wouldn’t think there was life around. I just sat there, feeling empty. Mh wolf had gone quiet and nothing seemed intriguing to me at the moment. All of my insides were worn out. My limbs are so weak, I doubt I would be able to lift a cup or carry my entire body. I wish I got the chance to put an end to Dame’s life. He has been nothing but a pure obstacle in my life. Since I met him, he has made sure to leave a lifetime mark for every chance he gets. I have never totally healed from the pain he caused me. I felt a sharp pain at the back of my neck. My head aches so bad. The
