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
Kate’s POV I need a drink. My wolf felt restless and the urge to get out of my skin and race so fast consumed me. The car wheel suddenly felt stiff and my palms sweaty. What is wrong with me? Concerned that I might actually hit the car against a pole, I stopped on the side of the road. My phone was blowing up persistently from Lois' call. I don’t want to talk about it to anyone yet. Dame is the most disgusting being I have ever come across. He has no shame and thinks too highly of himself. I saw the look in his eyes when he said I wouldn’t dare to go against him. He undermines me and I want to teach him a lesson beyond what he is facing at the moment. Probably beat him to a pulp. “Everyone would know you did it.” My wolf said. I inhaled and exhaled trying to relax my raging nerves. I can’t let him get to me. I did nothing wrong, he deserves whatever it is he got. Why then am I feeling this way? The tears rolled down my face burning my cheeks. I got my revenge, but it doesn’t exact
Mark’s POV Her lips felt so soft, I had to go gentle to prevent myself from hurting her. Her skin was like glass and her hair burned like flames. My heart raced so fast I could hear the wild thump in my ear. What is she doing to me? Her eyes met with mine and it melted my soul. I want to be a part of her so bad. She parted her lips and let out in a whisper. “Take me, Mark.” Like someone pricked with a sharp object, my eyes opened up abruptly. Looking to my side it appears there is no one in the room with me. I must have been dreaming. But it wasn’t just any dream, glancing down at my hard rock dick. Ur definitely meant a lot. Pulling the covers off me, I went into the bathroom and turned on the faucet letting the cold water hit my veins. Is this even right? Am I supposed to have that kind of thought towards the woman who was married to my father? What am I doing? She must be thinking really shitty of me. I had no idea what got over me. Might be the way her face lit up as she talke
Kate’s POV Touching my lips, a girlish giggle escaped my lips. How am I not angry at what happened last night? I have tried countlessly to blame it on alcohol but I couldn’t. We were both aware of what had happened. Still, it has me confused and doubtful, maybe a little ashamed. Mark is my son-in-law for goodness sake. How would I present my case to people when they find out that I might be having mushy feelings for him? “You never slept with his father, did you?” My wolf mused. “No one would know that. I was married to him after all and that is what matters.” I retorted with a pout. The kiss had my heart racing like never before. I haven’t felt like that in a long time with an actual touch. Maybe the spark did come up with Miguel. But there is something different about Mark’s. It was subtle and needy. Like he had been aching for that moment for a long time. Is there a possibility that he has a crush on me? The thought of it made me blush. That would be quite interesting. Still,
Dame’s POV My wolf practically collapsed as soon as I returned to the room. I have overworked it and now it is revolting against me. Throwing myself to the foot of the bed, I grabbed the remaining bottle of whiskey and chugged it down my throat. The space suddenly felt suffocating like it was closing up on me. These past nights have been quite tormenting. I find myself waking up and yelling at the top of my voice in frustration. How did I get here? The people who I put my trust in played me like that. That company is mine, everything put together was from my sweat. And people like Kate and Lance are suddenly at the top of the chain leaving me to scrub their dirt. That is ridiculous. Ruffling my hair, I winced at the ache that lingered in my head. I am not going to back down without a fight. After all, I still have shares in the company and there would definitely be some loyalists who want nothing to do with Kate that I can call around to get me back my spot. I blame Lance for urging
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
