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
Kate’s POV I stared long at the glass feeling like a child with all of the mouthwatery pastries that were on display. A small smile played on my lips as I thought about Mark. He would definitely like it. We can get to eat it together while he paints or just enjoy it and the night. My head felt light taking a walk down the beach. I needed the time to myself to shed off the burdens weighing me down. Dame must be losing his mind with everything happening all at once. I heard his assistant also left him to take the side of Beta Lance. Knowing that different people got to escape the tyranny of Dame as a result of my actions made me feel a bit better. “What do you intend to do now that there is no one to chase?” My wolf asked. A slow exhale escaped my lips. What else is there to do than get a life for myself? The obligation year I have to spend with Mark under the same roof is coming to a close in less than four months. I am just glad we could move past our differences. “Who knows if a
Mark’s POV The door slammed made me raise my head to see who was moving around so early. I caught sight of Kate dragging her luggage out towards the car. It surprised me. I was hoping to talk to her again this morning after the awkward exchange we had last night. She wasn’t that responsive when I spoke to her about Rayna. Seeing her with a bag out of the blue is quite worrisome. Dropping off my palette and paintbrush, I hurried towards her. “Where are you headed?” I inquired. She didn’t respond and tossed the bag into the backseat. “Kate, I am talking to you.” “Excuse you?” She retorted. “Where are you going all of a sudden? Is this about last night?” I asked. She stared at me as if confused. “What about last night?” I gulped, seeking my wolf out for help. “You know what I am talking about. I guess there is this misunderstanding between us and I need to clear it out. You were a bit strange last night.” Kate stared for a moment before letting out a scoff. “Yeah, I get it.
Kate’s POV“Have you lost your mind?” Lois screamed at me. His eyes darted back and forth between me and my luggage. “Tell me something, what was your plan?” I blinked guiltily turning my face away. The plan after realizing I was nowhere close to Mark’s consideration was to travel down to the Diamond pack and meet with Miguel. Every action I planned to take was to make him feel regretful for thinking so highly of himself. Getting to talk to him again this morning and hearing the words leaving his mouth. It is worse that he refuses to acknowledge the kiss. I had driven
Kate’s POV“The least you could have done was send me a text. Don’t you think you are being unfair towards me?” Miguel ranted on the other end, he sounded angry. I stared at the phone screen, thankful that I didn’t have to face him to tell the lie in my head. Placing the phone on speaker, I put it down on the table. “I am sorry, Alpha Miguel. I must have been drunk that night and just expressed recklessly.” He let out a slight exhale. “If you would
