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
Kate’s POV“Oh, goodness!” I lamented rubbing at my forehead. “Is there something that I did to the Gruett family to deserve all these sudden visits?” Dame hissed spitefully as slammed the file in his hand on the table. “What the fuck is this, bitch!” He screeched. To think a few weeks ago he was all over me and acting like he might lose his life if I do not pay him attention. “I would advise you to watch your mouth or you will have more anger insi
Kate’s POVNo one was in the house when I arrived. The first thing I did was let out a loud sigh of relief. Driving back home had been a mental task. I tried not to overthink my reaction. Lois had sided with Karen insisting I return home and stop running from every problem I encounter. After sitting for a long time in the room yielding nothing but lazy fat. Running in the woods seemed like the best option. My wolf howled in excitement as soon as she felt the grass. Trying not to think about anything, I ran as fast as my legs could carry letting the evening air calm me. Thoughts of the day returned for me to rummage on. I erased anything that had to do with Dame, he doesn’t deserve the space in my head. At the same time, I can’t help but feel some type of way concerning his acceptance of the new position without blowing the roof off. “He knows there is nothing else he can do right now. Which I think is smart that he has accepted his fate.” My wolf mused.I grunted in agreement. That
Kate’s POVThe office has been my safe space in the last few days. Leaving the house early became a sudden habit. My last encounter with Mark didn’t exactly make me proud of myself. I had spoken out of turn and acted desperate. Maybe what I really need is good sex and the fog will go flying. As Karen would say, no orgasm for so long can lead to one acting like a maniac for just about anything. I have had random kisses, yet I had to hold onto Mark’s like it was heaven. That must be why he couldn’t understand my insistence on the kiss. I do not like it here. The door opened abruptl
