Kate’s POV
My 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.
Jean’s POVRubbing at my belly anxiously, I paced the living room back and forth. Mum wasn’t having it. “Can you just sit your butt somewhere? What pregnant lady has the strength to keep moving around without caution?” She questioned. “I am not exactly moving around without caution. It is a slow walk.” I gritted. “And I wouldn’t be in this situation if your supposed boy had given an apt report of the job given to him. Dame keeps giving me suspicious glances, neither has the news of Kate’s downfall reached me. Tell me exactly how I am supposed to be c
Dame’s POV“I am so sorry, Kate,” I muttered helplessly. She eventually made it to work and explained to me how Jean came to her to boast of her involvement in the attack that took place. I should have known that witch Jean had something to do with Kate getting hurt. She is no doubt the most likely person to wish for her disappearance. I rubbed slowly at my forehead feeling an intense urge to snuff life out of her wherever she was. No wonder I tried hard to trace the culprit that attacked her and got nothing. Whoever he is, they made sure he would never be an easy person to find. Kate shrugged and held my gaze with so many emotions emitting in her eyes. “I knew there wouldn’t be rosy moments for me coming back here to be with you. All the same, I didn’t expect myself to be in such danger so soon. I think you should go back to Jean. It is wrong for me to want her place at first. Anyone would have reacted the way she did if they were in her shoes. I probably would have.” “Hell no. T
Dame’s POVIt took a while for my eyes to adjust to the chaos. For a moment I thought my house was on fire. The very house that I had sorted the design myself after tearing it down from the old design to create a masterpiece. My legs wobbled as I breathed hard in a hide to get a hold of myself. Behind the raving fire was Jean tossing things into it to make it blow more. My mouth was agape in utmost shock when I looked down at one of the things she threw and it happened to be one of my expensive wristwatches. Wait a minute, this bitch is actually burning my stuff. My concern was replaced with anger. I stomped my feet towards her angrily. Without thinking I slapped her hard across the face. Everyone around gasped loudly. Jean put a hand to her face and before I could strike another blow she ran off. “Have you all gone mad? Get some water and quench the fire, you stupid peasants. How dare you all just stand by and watch her make a mess of my things? You had better have that dead in a
Kate’s POVI sucked my teeth in irritation as I stared at my wristwatch again. Dame should be sacked right this minute and told never to step foot into the company ever again. He is never available when he is needed. We were supposed to have a meeting with investors today and he knew just how important this is. But what can I expect of someone like him who is so engrossed with himself and cares nothing about others? Myself and a few heads of departments plus Lance have been seated like morons for minutes and he is still unreachable. I am still reeling from his attempt to touch me in his office over an hour ago that I am quite in the mood to smack his face and talk sense into his numb skull.
Jean’s POVI woke up with an intense ache in the side of my head. As I managed to sit up, someone rushed to my side to hand me a glass of water. I drank it with relish before adjusting my eyes to the room. “Beta Lance,” I muttered in a croaky voice. “Hi there.” He smiled tightly. “How are you feeling?” I sat up gently feeling aches all over my body and for a moment my face felt stiff. “I feel wrecked.”&nbs
Kate’s POV“He is nothing short of a beast. I can’t believe Jean went through all of that in his hands. What was she thinking?” I ranted, taking a swig at my can of soda. It seemed like the only thing I could let settle in my belly. Lois crunched on his bowl of chips. “I know this might sound cruel of me, but I can’t feel sorry for her. She got herself into this. If only you know how much trouble she causes herself. Jean would go around the pack like a maniac looking for her husband. She is practically obsessed with him.” The sight of the two of them in such hea
Mark’s POV“So what are you saying, Kate?” I asked, tapping my phone on the table slowly. “Does this mean I was right all along?” She ruffled her hair about three times in a second. I can sense her frustration, but I need and deserve an explanation too. “Mark, please. Just hear me out. As I mentioned before, he is a business associate. We joined hands on the current project the company is working on. We went on friendly outings and he expressed himself to me which I turned down. But he is quite persistent and insists on doing what it takes to make me his.” &ldqu
Kate’s POVAlcohol they say is bad for the body, to me, it is going to be the death of me. I struggled with my wolf to get the run in. But I couldn’t I had too much to drink. We had visited Lois cafe to try out the new beer he was adding to his menu. It turned out to be of great taste since it was free, Karen and I like greedy dwarfs almost choked on it. Was it fun? Yes. Would I go again if there is a chance? Yes. Life is fun when you keep pushing yourself to your death. But my wolf didn’t seem to agree with that as I opened up my mouth and poured out the remaining content in my belly into the dry leaves. I cursed at the awful taste at the back of my tongue. Feeling lightheaded I quickly heade
Kate’s POV“Kate!” Karen screamed from her room while I was still struggling to be awake and ready for work. I yawned loudly, ruffling my hair. “What is it, Karen? Why are you so hyped?” I questioned, sniffing. She put her phone to my face. “Check this out!” It felt like fog on my face, I had to push the phone backward, scratch my eyes, and eventually make my eyes bigger before I got a clear view of it. A loud gasp escaped my mouth causing Karen to stagg
Mark’s POV“Hey Mark!” Davina cooed from the other end into the receiver. I jumped past a fallen tree panting heavily. “Hi, Davina. How are you today?” “I am fine. Oh, are you running right now?” She asked the obvious. Isn’t my panting enough to tell that is the case?“Yes, wanted to get my steps in for the night.”“That is nice. I wanted to thank you again for the other day.” “You don’t have to keep doing that Davina. We are friends after all. How is the house hunting?” My question seemed to excite her as the words took another turn. “I found an amazing house penthouse today. It’s incredible. The view is lovely.” “A penthouse? Isn’t that on the high side?” I asked halting in my steps. “Not really. This one is actually really cheap goes for about ten thousand a month so I paid for two years.” “Hmmn, that’s nice..” She raised her tone up a notch again. “It really is. Imagine the number of pictures I would get to take to style my clients.” “But two years locked down rent payme
Kate’s POV“I am so exhausted!” Bianca whined throwing herself onto the couch. I chuckled, chewing on popcorn “Sorry, Karen has almost worked you thin.” She raised herself to look at me. “I have no idea how she does it always so determined to expend herself on a job. I wish I had half of her strength.” I smiled glancing at Karen who seemed to be so engrossed with the dress she was working on. I have seen just how much work she puts in and one can tell it
Mark’s POV“Are you sure that isn’t too much money?” My wolf asked as I wrote the check. I stared at the amount again and pouted. “No, I think it is just enough. I can afford it. So it is only right that I give it as much as I can. This will help her get started as she wants. She will never have to think about how to survive anymore instead it will be more about the many things she can now indulge in to make things better for herself.” He went quiet and that made me unsettled a little bit. It is just half a million dollars. It wouldn’t even feel like I took such an amount from my account. This shouldn’t be considered too much from someone like me. I just hope she won’t think it is too small. “Yo, my man!” Carl busted into the study like the noisemaker that he is. I rubbed my forehead, regretting the decision to go out with him. I should have requested that we head out in separate cars. Miguel is hosting a ball, which is a usual event at the packhouse every year. I never used to at
Kate’s POV“Do you think Charles might be in love with you?” My wolf asked.I stirred my coffee, looking out the window with swollen eyes I shrugged because I was really not aware of anything much going on with him. If he is in love with me that means trouble, what am I supposed to do with the affection? I already have enough from Mark. This wasn’t what I intended. Having Charles's father come beg me for his son seems ridiculous to me. They should have just left me to myself and accepted that things weren’t going to ever work out between us.I sighed heavily staring down at the now cold coffee. Is this what Karen and Lois meant when they said I would be stuck in a pool? Because it does feel like a pool. I couldn’t sleep a wink last night after Donald came to visit me at the office. It was more draining that I couldn’t talk about it to Karen just yet. She being the crazy girl would laugh at me and leave my soul hanging. I do not know how long it would take for things to die down.Right
Kate’s POVThe documents in front of me were beginning to look like they were written in foreign words. My eyes ached badly from lack of sleep. I have been working a bit hard to ensure the project that we are on does not flop. It is the first project being done in Dame’a’s absence. Speaking of Dame, his Alpha’s ball is apparently the talk of the town. Everyone anticipates it like it is some expected festival that they have been waiting for years.I do remember that the ball was one that I had looked out to attending so many years ago. When I missed the chance of getting to serve the guest. I had cried for two days straight and I remember Lois being there all through consoling me with chocolates and candies like it was the only way out that he was aware of. A small smile broke on my face at the memory. Those were the good old days. Whenever I look back at the growth myself and Lois have had. I do nothing else but be thankful to the goddess that I still have my very good friend with me.
Mark’s POVI stared in awe as Davina moved with gait around the showroom putting the attires together and taking pictures of them. When we got talking she let me know she was a fashion stylist. She works for a couple of celebrities. Creating outfits for fashion shows and photoshoots. I have seen the way she puts things together and it is super impressive. I have always known her to be resourceful which makes it a proud moment to see how much she is doing.It’s been a month since we reconnected at the club and got talking. But we haven’t met physically due to busy schedules. I don’t know what it is, but it almost feels as if old flames are rekindling. It's a dangerous thing to tend towards and I know it wouldn’t last. At the same time, after a long time, I find myself wanting to engage in some flirty engagements just for the fun of it.“Won’t you be going too far engaging her?” My wolf asked.“It is just talking. Don’t get ahead of yourself.” I replied, snorting. Kate is the only one I
