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
Kate’s POVEarly mornings at the coffee shop are the worst. They put me on the edge. You would think the entire members of the Redmoon pack can’t stay awake and need something to get by. It would have been better if the customers were the only ones I had to deal with. But my supervisor and boss, Martin, is a rogue and devil incarnate. Despite the pressure already mounting, he watches every one of us like a hawk and ends up making my already conscious self, extra conscious.“One Cappuccino and creamy doughnut please. Make it quick,” A customer hollered from one of the tables.I did an inward growl compliment of my wolf but maintained a relaxed posture. Some customers do know not when their waitresses or attendants are on a hot seat. I just served a table of five and almost mixed up their orders.Due to the number of people around and to avoid a possible stampede, we ask the customers to sit and not be in the queue while I go to write down.“Order for table twelve,” I said to Lois at t
Dame’s POV“Mate?”I scoffed at the thought of it. Why would I want to have a mate? It has never been something that I consider. Never been the type to want just one woman when there are tons of them dying to have my dick thrusting into them. When the mate bond pulled me close to Kate, I almost couldn’t believe it. I was on the verge of giving in before calling myself to order. Not happening on my watch.Even if I want a mate, it wouldn’t be someone who is so low in class. A waitress? Such a joke.But damn, Kate is breathtaking to look at. Anyone with such a flawless look should be confined as a criminal. Natural red hair! A perfect turn-on. That is something that I haven’t really come across in all of my escapades. Her oblong face matches perfectly with the hair on her head, and those green eyes amuse me with the fierceness inside them. I want to kiss those lips until the flesh no longer feels like it.My dick thumped at the thought. I had wanted her right there in that stuffy office
Kate’s POV“Will you stop staring at that phone!” Lois rebuked.I blinked softly, holding up a weak smile. “Why are you so jealous?” I teased.“I would have sworn you would never be found in this situation with the way you always dismiss anyone who shows interest in you.”I shrugged. “You can’t blame me. I am fated to be with this one.”He gave me a sorry look. “You are such a lover girl. From your words, you two spoke this morning. Why are you still expecting his call? You don’t even talk to your dad whom you have known for so long. And it's not even up to two months you met your mate.”“You said it yourself. He is my mate. You should know I will always yearn for him.”“If that is the case, I don’t think I want one. He is so obsessed that he calls you out at the oddest hours. You two should suck it up and get married already.” He snickered.I smiled tightly, picking up my drink, and burying my red face in it to avoid being noticed. It's been over a month since I and Dame became an it
Kate’s POVI am so sorry for your loss.” Nicole, our aging neighbor whispered next to me before walking away with her support cane making a thud along.The noise appears to be distracting me. I can’t seem to focus on my thoughts. Despite the space, it still seems suffocating. I need all of these people out of here to be sure I am not having a bad dream. Nightmares can be so surreal and scary. This is probably one of them. I need someone to bring me back to reality.I spoke too soon. A spiteful shove had me almost falling on my face. I turned around to see my stepsister, Jean pushing a basket of bedsheets in my face.“Mum says if you won’t be of any other use, you should get the laundry out before the service begins.” She didn't wait for me to respond before dumping it at my feet.I swallowed hard and lifted the basket with conflicted emotions. My wolf protested within me. But I feel too weak to contest anything. Stepping outside the house, my eyes caught sight of my reality. My father
Kate’s POVJudith’s words rang in my ear and it made me shiver, causing my fur to stand. I raced past the trees in the woods and it made me feel bad for causing the greens dizziness.Why in the world do I have to be the one to be married off? If this so-called man is so wealthy enough to clear our debts why didn’t she just marry Jean off to him? At least they can freely leech off him without feeling guilty.Tears laced my eyes heavily again. I have been crying nonstop, confused about where to begin. Judith might be a witch and Jean a devil, they are still the only family I have. And that house is more of mine than it is theirs.It is my late father’s legacy. What kind of daughter would I be if I could not keep it? I inhaled deeply, feeling the air caught in my lungs. My wolf appears exhausted from the endless run. I have been doing too much of that lately. Sighing in resolve, I headed back to the house to call Lois. He is the only one that I can talk to in a moment like this.As soon
Kate’s POV“I must admit, you are quite a force to reckon with,” Judith said standing behind me while I got dressed to meet with Dame.I don’t know if to take her words as a compliment or just mind my business. I chose the latter.“How did you get to meet a wealthy mate and not just any but an Alpha? Did you indulge in some kind of sorcery?” She pressed on.I should have known this conversation would lead to nowhere. I stood up and nodded in satisfaction at my appearance. Dame had gotten the dress for me during one of his random gift sessions. It looks as classy enough as the women that flock to him. It's a miracle that someone like myself is regarded as his mate.Now that I am pregnant with his child, I can’t wait to see the look on his face. He told me about the dinner just in time when I was intending to spill the news. Since we were going to meet, I decided it would be a surprise.I had almost forgotten that Judith was still waiting for me to respond to her. I smiled tightly. “I d
