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
Jean’s POV There was something different about the room, I should have known Dame was inside. Walking stealthily, I peeked into the closet and there he was silently pushing through the clothes and finding only the goddess knows what. It didn’t take long for him to notice my presence. His wolf growled dangerously at me. I gulped hard and stumbled backward with caution. I don’t know what to expect, but I doubt he would want to attack me again after everything the elders said. Taking my dirty linens to them was to safeguard my life. Dame eventually came out with a bag in hand. It took me a moment to realize it was mine. I didn’t get a chance to question him as he had called in some maids to pick the bags up. I became anxious all of a sudden and ran towards him. “What are you doing, Dame? What the hell do you think you are doing?” I screeched. He scoffed, “You want to live in the manor so bad. I won’t dispute that. The only clause is you won’t be doing so in my room. So you will leave
Kate’s POV I can’t believe this! That bastard is out of his mind to think he can act whichever way pleases him. My head is spinning so hard. I feel like I might convulse. I had nowhere else to go and had to run to a familiar place. “Easy, take a deep breath.” My wolf advised. “I can’t,” I mumbled grabbing a fistful of my hair. It took everything in me to not go back to the packhouse and slam Dame against the wall with my car. The dreadful look in his eyes says it all the kind of person he is. I can’t believe I have been moving that close to such a horrible person. If I didn’t arrive at the place on time, he would have killed her. He does not mind putting an end to her life. Goodness! Jean and Judith are the dumbest beings I have ever encountered. Who stays in such an abusive relationship? One has to have a death wish to indulge in such madness. I am definitely cutting Dame off. He has to pay for everything. No more playing along. The two of them going apart is no longer part of th
Kate’s POV “You brought me to the woods?” There was disappointment evident in my voice. Mark smiled sheepishly. “I just couldn’t think of any other place that would feel nice for your mood. You need to burn the stress out.” “No, Mark. I don’t think I have the strength to move my bones as it is.” He didn’t say anything and knelt down placing his hand on the ground. “Feel it, Kate. It is calling for you. Can you smell the musk scent coming from the grass? It tells that a deer is nearby. Don’t you want to see it?” “Mark!” I whined. “Come on, you will love it. Trust that whatever it is that was on your mind would flow with the wind by the time we are done.” “But I don’t have extra clothes,” I mumbled trying to find every means to avoid shifting. “Well, I did think you might give that excuse and went into a store to get a nice dress before I got to Lois’s.” “So your plan all along was to have me run the woods?” “Lois did say you were in a distorted mood. What I learned from my dad
Mark’s POV I woke up in a good mood after having an amazing evening with Kate. She makes an amazing company. The first person that came to mind to call was my therapist. We got on a video call and she had a suspicious look on her face. “Someone seemed to have woken up on the good side of the bed.” She mused with her signature smile on. I cackled. “Well, it does seem so. Good morning.” “Good morning to you too. So tell me, what has your face glowing this much?” “For the first time in a while, I was able to tell Amanda’s story to someone else without getting a panic attack.” “Wow, that is a big move on your end. Who is this person you were able to tell it to?” For some reason, I became shy all of a sudden. It almost seems wrong that I might be enjoying her company too much. But I have not had such a satisfying experience in such a long time that I already feel old. “Mark.” My therapist drawled. I can see the glint in her eyes. I groaned inwardly. What was I thinking? Of course,
Mark’s POV My wolf had stood on guard expecting to see something that would need some strength to overcome. To my surprise it turned out to be Rayna, there was a broken vase on the floor and a blood trail that was coming from her palm. “What the fuck, Rayna? How did you get hurt this much? Are you a child?” I found myself rebuking her. Tears streamed down her face like she had been poked with steel. “Is that all you would say to me? Shouldn’t you rush to my side and make sure I am safe first? You were out there laughing and catching up with Kate like you didn’t just spend a number of hours together yesterday and now you are at it again. Do you not have some shame?” I see where she is driving. Rather than respond, I let out a huff and went to her to drag her out of the room to the living room. Thankfully there is a first aid box in the kitchen. I am just relieved Kate didn’t have to witness this. “Baby, it hurts.” Rayna whimpered as I dabbed at the wound with spirit. I didn’t say
Kate’s POV “Are the members all around?” Lois nodded in response as we walked the hallway to the meeting room. “Are you sure about this?” He asked. “I am very certain. I don’t think I have ever been so sure about something like I am at this moment.” “Alright. Here we go.” He mused pushing the door open. Every member of the board and departments were seated except Dame. Of course, he is either late or not showing up. Nothing hastens him up. I want to punch his gut so bad but I might end up losing my hand. It is a surprise he didn’t put a call through to plead with me for his actions. He is nothing to write home about. “Beta Lance, where is Dame?” I asked as I sat down. Lance cleared his throat slightly. “He is not in the best state of mind, ma’am. I will be standing in for him today.” “He is expected to show up and I bet he got the memorandum and just chose to not come. This is about him, since he couldn’t make it, the meeting cannot be adjourned. So let’s begin.” I said. One o
Dame’s POV Damn, she fucks so good! My dick was on the verge of exploding at how she worked her ass around it with her hands resting on my chest. My wolf chuffed in excitement. Amidst all the things going on, I almost forgot to do the one thing I love the most. Sex. Jean and the packed council can go to hell, I will deal with each one of them when the time comes. My phone message notification dinged, causing me to open my eyes. That must be Lance or Quadrick, they have been buzzing me up to inform me about today’s meeting. Kate is really silly to call a meeting without prior notice. We haven’t talked about what happened at the packhouse the last time we met. Just like every other gullible woman, I am sure flowers and chocolates with some good dick will clear her thoughts of any doubts. Ignoring the phone beep, I grabbed the girl firmly on the waist and slammed into her at a fast pace. She screeched and moaned at the same time. It didn’t take long before I reached my peak. Pushing he
