Kate’s POV
The 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.

Jean’s POVThe cold breeze hit my exposed skin jolting me back to life. My lashes fluttered as I tried to make sense of my environment. Those stupid maids had forgotten to shut the windows. Do they not know cold isn’t right for a pregnant lady? They are all so foolish. Sucking my teeth, I got off the bed, changing into something that would keep the cold away. My throat felt dry, I glanced at the water jar and shook my head. A glass of warm milk would be better. Picking up the phone, I dialed the headmaid. She picked on the second ring. “Sleepyhead! How long do I have to be on the line
Mark’s POV“My man!” Carl bellowed as he hurried towards me. I laughed heartily, pulling him into an embrace. “Damn, Carl! How long has it been?” He cackled, “ages! Thanks for picking me up man.” “Please don’t embarrass me. That is what friends are for.” His eyes washed over me. “You seem so different. Redmoon pack seems t
Kate’s POVAs soon as my feet touched the ground, the comforting smell hit me. Home! This is what it feels like being in a place that makes you safe and you get to be yourself. Tears laced my eyes as I stared intensely at the house. For a moment I wished Jake would hurry out of it and pull at my cheek to tell me he was pulling my legs all along. I could never really get over his death. The large fields remind me of the times we would just run around in our wolf form throwing jabs at each other. He completed me and never asked too much from me. “You are here now, stop thinking of what should
Kate’s POV“Why the hell is his line unreachable?” I gritted, pushing the phone aside. A low growl escaped my lips as I glared hard at the phone screen hoping for a tiny second I would get a call or text from him. Sighing, I turned to my almost-cold coffee. It is not a surprise that Karen is still sound asleep. Last night, she was quite hysterical, got drunk, and yapped on and on unnecessarily. I had no other choice but to just sit and listen until she collapsed into a deep slumber. I felt bad for her because I know firsthand what it feels like to be on a different side with one's pare
Author’s POV“How long do you intend to keep hiding there?” Marilyn asked from the other end of the line. Miguel rolled his eyes at the phone screen before returning his attention to the file in his hand. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” She made a snorty sound. “I am sure you do. Anyway, this call is to inform you of what I did. Kate is on her way to see you.” His eyes bulged out in shock at the news. “What? How is that possible?&r
Kate’s POVI am not crying! I shouldn’t be crying! It’s not like I am that into him. He can go to hell for all I care. But why does it hurt so much? Why? The image of Miguel’s distasteful glare kept haunting me. The only person who stared at me with that much detest was Mark. It’s almost as if there is nothing I can say to change the way he thinks about me. And that truly hurts. “Cry baby, how long have you been here?” Karen asked, sitting next to me. “Will you like some?” She showed me the bottle of wine in her hand. “No, thank you.” I sniffed, wrapping my arms around myself. “Do you care to tell me what is going on with you? I have been a mess and we didn’t get the chance to talk about you.” “I am glad you know how much of a horrible friend you are.” She chuckled. “Guilty as charged. How did your visit to Miguel go?” “Awful. I have never seen him act like that. It felt like he didn’t even care about me anymore and just wanted me out of his sight.” “I guess I would feel the s
Mark’s POV“You might break that phone in two if you keep staring at it like that,” Carl said as he motioned towards the bartender to refill our glasses. “What’s wrong? You have been gloomy all morning.” Ruffling my hair, I exhaled. My wolf must be exhausted at this point. “Kate. She hasn’t been taking my calls. That lady can hold a grudge for days. You would think she would let it all go by now.” He mouthed a thank you to the attendant before responding to me. “Well, we all respond to situations differently. She needs her time away from you an
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

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
