Jean’s POV
I 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.”

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?”
Mark’s POV “Kate!” I hollered from the garden as she got out of her car. She turned to look at me and smiled politely. From the way her shoulders slumped, I could tell she had a rough day. “Do you think it is still appropriate to call out to her?” My wolf asked. I shrugged. “There is no harm in trying. Come on Kate.” I called out again, gesturing for her to come to me. With a small smile, she walked down to me. I could see her face well and she looked very tired. I pulled out a chair for her to sit in quickly. “Bad day at work?” I asked pouring her a cup of tea from my flask. She mouthed a thank you sipping it cautiously. “Hmmn, this tastes really good.” “It’s jasmine tea. Helps you relax. I drink it to keep my mind settled while I paint. Do you want to talk about it?” Kate gave me a look that showed she was surprised that I was offering such help. It made me shy. “I didn’t mean to meddle. It is okay if you don’t want to talk about it.” I muttered hurriedly. She eventually gri
Kate’s POV “I am going to miss you so much. I should come to see you and Karen soon.” I muttered as I held Marilyn’s hand. She chuckled tightening her grip on my hand. “I will miss you too. Just make sure you take good care of yourself and don’t get into any trouble.” “I will try.” “You really should. Don’t think I don’t see the worried lines on your forehead. If it were up to me, I think you have won and there is no need to keep putting yourself in harm's way.” Her words reminded me of the recent argument I had with Dame. Fear gripped me hard when had held onto my hand tightly. My life practically flashed before my eyes. “The only way I wouldn’t be in contact with him is if I leave this pack. And that is impossible now. The company is still under his rule and I need to take that away from him. All I am doing is paying him back in his own coin.” Marilyn nodded in understanding. “Still, be careful and if you ever need help you know I am only one call away.” I embraced her tightl
