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
Mark’s POVMy wolf yawned alongside me with exhaustion as I stumbled out of the car still feeling drunk. Carl on the other hand looked quite alert. We had ordered a designated driver to avoid bumping right into a truck. We partied until this morning and aside from being sleepy, food feels like the most needed option right now. “I will make some toast for us to eat.” Carl mused stumbling towards the kitchen. My hand roamed aimlessly to find the switch, just as I put it on I let out a yell and my eyes became clearer when a vase shattered behind me as it touched the wall. Carl let out a string of curses. Our eyes landed on the assailant and I almost lost it. “Rayna, are you crazy?” I bellowed. “What the hell?” Carl mused as he stomped off to his room. She flared her nose, folding her arms like she didn’t just make a mess. “Where the hell have you been since yesterday?” Clenching my fist, I moved close to her growling. “And who the fuck do you think you are to question me? Do you kn
Kate’s POV“Take a deep breath,” I mumbled to myself. The feeling of uneasiness settled on my tiny shoulder. I have been weighed down by the burden so much that I haven’t had a good sleep in days. I have tried really hard to reach Miguel and it seems he is hellbent on keeping his distance. Marilyn had to get involved by making sure I was on the list of people he would attend to despite his busy schedule today. However, I have been seated for over three hours watching everyone go in and out of his office. I plan to wait for another hour before leaving. He definitely has his mind made up. I have stayed out of the company for too long. Returning to work is essential. Just then the door opened and he stepped out. I stood up, trying to catch his gaze. “Alpha Miguel.” The words left my mouth like a whisper. He stared for a while before exhaling slowly. “Would you like to have lunch with me?” He asked. “Yeah….yeah, I would like that,” I replied hastily. He did a snorty laugh and heade
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 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
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
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
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
