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“Get your fucking hands off me!” Rayna blurted as I slammed the door shut. I pushed her backwards breathing hard. “Have you lost your mind? What the hell do you think you are doing? Do you plan to ruin my family?” She cackled like a maniac. “What stupid family? A family on their way to commit incest.” “Shut the hell up! Just shut that trap that you call a mouth! I have been trying to put up with you but you do everything to ruin it. What
Dame’s POVOpening my eyes felt like pure torture. The room appeared to blur at first before it cleared out. My wolf growled underneath. I tried to sit up and my body moved painfully and slowly like I had been hit by a load of brick. Adjusting myself properly, I let out a slow exhale. It took me a moment to notice Lance sitting with his legs crossed on the couch opposite the bed. My throat scratched painfully as I managed to swallow some spittle. He stood up and poured me a glass of water. Drinking it slowly, I cleared off the cloud in the throat. “How long have I been unconscious?” I
Jean’s POV“I allowed your mother in. Ensure she doesn’t do something as silly as making any recording of anything. I have had just about enough of every one of you today.” Lance stated with evident irritation in his voice.I nodded slowly, avoiding his eyes. “Thank you.” He didn’t respond and left the room. Moments like this make me realize that I have no one to lean on except my mother. Since the packhouse is still on lockdown. I had to beg Lance to allow her into the house while promising she wouldn’t go overboard. The maids and guards are whining subtly
Dame’s POV“How are you feeling?” Kate asked her hand caressing my hair. It felt beautiful having that subtle touch around me. The only kind of peace that I require at the moment. She had come by the house to see me and her appearance had me thinking of the many things that I could do to her. “I feel good now that you are here,” I replied, trailing my finger on her thigh. She shifted a bit putting her hand down. “How long did the doctor say you would be in bed
Chapter 129Jean’s POVI could feel their eyes staring intently at the red scars trailing my back. Most especially Dame’s that seemed to be burning through my skin. Some of the scars aren’t real, but still, it doesn’t matter as I intend to milk this situation until it goes flat. Satisfied that they must have had enough look. I put my shirt back on and turned to see their bewildered faces. Elder Nicholas was the first to speak. “Might I ask, why did he trash you like this?”
