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 POV“Has he lost his fucking mind?” I blurted while staring at the file in my hand. I just arrived back at the Red Pearl pack. Turns out the problem is a letter stating the company’s land ownership isn’t the Mccatty’s. Even though the company is in my name. Dame must have exerted himself pulling this trick. Lois exhaled loudly. “What do we do? This lawsuit he pulled will have the daily activities disturbed. Aren’t you supposed to go to him?”
Mark’s POVI am so stupid! My wolf howled in agreement as I ran through the woods scratching at the soil with each leap. Excitement had coursed through me at the sight of Kate and the urge to want to engage her by all means became the goal for those few minutes. So like an unshielded dam, I opened up my mouth and sprouted nonsense. Of course, what was I expecting when I announced my leaving for home? Did I expect her to hug me? Or tell me just how much she wants us to be together? That wouldn’t be a bad idea though. I would like for us to be this way. My father’s companies will do fine
Dame’s POV“I see you look happy,” Jean noted. She stood by the door with her eyes watching my every move. I snorted. “Why? Do you expect me to look sad?” “Not at all. I am just glad colors are returning to your face. Kate must be going through a hard time now.” A snort escaped my lips at the mention of Kate. I am not certain about her going through a hard time just yet. S
Mark’s POV“I am so anxious,” I admitted to Carl who was slurping carelessly on a milkshake. He wiped his lips clean with a napkin. “I would be bothered if you weren’t. What you are about to do is definitely not a walk in the park. That bitch is crazy and might flip on you when you least expect it.” My breath felt shaky causing my wolf to reassure me. “It will work out just fine.” The conversation I had with Kate made me rethink my life choices. I
Mark’s POV“I am carrying your child,” Rayna repeated. Turning to her slowly, I sniffed and closed the space between us. “Pregnant, then?” She blinked back the tears that formed in her eyes and reached for my hand. “Please, Mark. Baby, you know I would do anything to be with you. I have had to hold onto our love for each other even though I had many doubts. I can’t live without you, can’t imagine the rest of my life without you in it. We can start a new life knowing we have something and someone to fight for. Please don’t do this to me.” “Rayna, haven’t you been listening?” I asked slowly. “You are the one who is refusing to listen!” She hollered stomping her feet. “I am here trying really hard to explain my situation to you. Do you think I want to be tagged as a clingy person? If you weren’t up for a relationship you shouldn’t have come to me. Now we have a future between us, you should get off your high horse and let us work something out.” I inhaled and exhaled deeply. “This h
Kate’s POV“You might pass out at this point.” My wolf stated as I kept moving around the office like I lost something. I hate being this restless and it is all that moron’s fault. He keeps getting on my nerves and I find myself giving in. The nonsense Dame pulled as regards the land ownership gave me a bit of a hard time even though I was reassured it wasn’t a big deal. The thought of him winning the case had me on my toes. I can’t thank Jake enough for being thoughtful of the many stunts that could be pulled in the future and working on them to make sure nothing goes wrong. As for Alpha Dame, I want to pull his eyes out. But what can I do to a pack leader who as much as he might be losing his respect, is still the most feared person in the entire pack? Still, I feel like he deserves a piece of my mind. “Lois wouldn’t like that.” My wolf mused. “Fuck, Lois for real. If I don’t do this I might really lose my mind. If Dame wants to keep playing dirty like that I have some solid a
Kate’s POV“I warned you to stay away from him,” Lois muttered, opening a can of beer and handing it over to me. My best friend thought the best way to console me was to drive down to the beachside to drink and mull over whatever had me worried. I took a loud gulp of the drink. “What was I supposed to do? Why would you even give me that kind of advice when you know what he has put me through? You knew how stressed I was over that meeting with the Alpha.” “There is no doubt about how conflicted and stressed you are. And I know what your mental state has been like these past few days. But you need to know your opponent to be able to deal with them better. Alpha Dame is older, wiser, and more cunny than you will ever be. Me asking you not to meet with him just so he wouldn’t get to play your head. He would say things that would rile you up and make you react. That way, you have given him power over you. Now he knows what gets to you and the best way to put your emotions on gear mode.”
Kate’s POVA Year and a Half LaterMy fingers sank into his bare back as he plunged into me. I could almost taste him at the tip of my tongue. His strong plan raised my ass cheek enabling him to thrust deeper. Mark grunted in pleasure as I wrapped my legs around his waist urging him to take all of me. His thrust was fast and hard. I was almost out of breath. I moaned loudly at each thrust. Our arousals lay thick in the air. A satisfied scream escaped my lips as he hit me hard and my entire body came undone like a surge of electricity just moved through me. Mark increased his pace and let out a loud groan, nutting inside me before he collapsed next to me panting slowly. I chuckled, caressing his chest with my finger.“How was it?” I asked, kissing his sweaty forehead.He turned to me, smacking my ass. “Magical as always.”“Is that so?” I teased.He smacked me again, his eyes smiling. “Stop being such a tease.”“I love to know that I got you good.” I grinned, causing him to cackle. “
Kate’s POVMy wolf paw thawed through the wet grass. I ran like my life depended on it. Hoping my worries will float away with the wind. My heart thumped really hard like it might leap out of its cage. Thinking through the last conversation i had with Mark which was a month ago. My head feels like it would explode. How he was able to say things like that to me without feeling awful, is so painful.“Stop thinking over it. You will keep hurting yourself.” My wolf said.I halted all of a sudden, falling to the ground helplessly. The tears that I had held back for so long rolled down my face uncontrollably. I wish I could just disappear to somewhere unknown and forget about all these troubles I have gotten into. From the look of things, finding true love might not be a part of my fate. I might be doomed to live by myself with no one to love me right. Learning to be happy with myself seems like the best thing I can do to get out of this. The thoughts are drowning me. Heartbreaks are quite
Mark’s POVI can feel their judgmental eyes on me. I clenched and unclenched my fist hating how she chose to ignore me instead of addressing the accusation. Seeing her today is a mix of emotions. Kate drives me to the edge. I wanted to sweep her off the ground, seeing how exhausted she is. At the same time, i wanted to question her for causing our relationship to hit the rocks. But i did none of that and allowed my anger to take charge.Barrister Alan walked up to me, putting a hand on my shoulder. “Mark, son, I don’t know what just happened. I just hope you will resolve it soon. You know in your depth that they do not make she-wolves like Kate anymore. Make sure your anger is justified.” He made a grunt and excused himself.I sat down, pulling at the root of my hair. I expected Carl to say something, instead, he walked away not sparing me a glance. Lately, he has been quiet. I can’t tell what is going on in his head. I felt a part of my headache. Tears pricked my eyes painfully. I di
Kate’s POV“I wish I didn’t have to come here,” Kate whined to Karen as they got out of the car.The barrister had sent consistent reminders and put calls through to make sure she doesn’t forget how important her presence is. If she had other ways, she would have stayed back. Seeing Mark so soon after their last discussion, has her feeling on the edge.Karen wrapped her arm around me. “You will do just fine, Kate. Don’t let yourself be bothered.”I didn’t say anything as my thoughts kept jumping. My wolf also tried to make me feel calm but I just can’t ignore the anxiety. Does he miss me? Has he been as miserable as I am since things went sour? I wish things would work out between us. I am even willing to look over his cheating. All I want is for us to be back together. But I guess that might not work out as I desire.Alan had asked that we meet at the house. I really wish he would have made it his office. That might ease any form of awkwardness. But I could lean into Karen’s presence
Kate’s POVMy body felt cold when I eventually found the strength to get off the floor. The blood in my limbs must have dried up considering how heavy they were. I went into the bathroom and sat in the bathtub while the water filled up around me. What a day! I don’t think I was this drained and lost when my father died and Dame made me a laughing stock. I crumbled then, but this time it was pure hell. The tears I shed ripped my insides to shreds at every heave. I just couldn’t hold back. Everything I loved was crumbling right in from of me. I guess anyone in my shoes would have felt the same.On second thought, I feel like I deserve it. My greed is the reason I couldn’t let go of Charles and just focus on Mark. I wanted to have a taste of freedom and indulge in a bit of recklessness. It bites me really hard in the butt. It was just a little flirting and a little kiss. All the same, it was wrong of me. Mark has no fault even though he cheated too. But I pushed him to it.I can’t cry an
Author’s POV“He did what?” Lois blurted, spitting out the juice in his mouth.Karen sighed, twirling the glass in her hand. They had returned from the Diamond Pack with Kate looking like her entire world had crashed down on her. One can tell just how unhappy she has become. The sight of Davina in Mark’s shirt with a smug look on her face already gave away the clue that their visit wouldn’t end well. It was hard to keep Kate down from visiting Mark to plead with him. However, she understood her persistence and just had to drop everything she was doing to travel with her.Hearing Mark dismiss Kate because of his own guilt was quite disappointing. Left to her, he was undeserving of her explanation from the start. It seemed too easy for him to move on. Everyone is experiencing a hard time because of him. And it didn’t take him long to dip his dick into another honeypot. Since they arrived, Kate has locked herself up in the room, refusing to talk to anyone. It is quite troubling not knowi
Mark’s POVThe morning sun burned my eyes as I attempted to open them. After struggling for a while, I eventually sat up with my eyes wide open. Letting out a loud yawn, I glanced to my side shocked at the person with me. The memories from last night came back stinging me in the head. I gulped hard. What the hell was I thinking? If I was drunk that would have been a perfect excuse. But I wasn’t. Davina was not drunk too and I remember she kissed me first. Why didn’t I say no to her? Fuck!Easing myself out of the bed, I got dressed quickly and tiptoed out of the room, not sure I had the courage to face her. What would I say? And how will I explain what just happened? After claiming to be in a relationship, I ended up sleeping with Davina with my eyes wide open.Unable to contain my thoughts, I ran out to the woods as fast as my legs could carry me. My wolf appears to be having a good time mocking me. My head aches like I have a hangover. Last night blew my mind. All I could do after r
Mark’s POV“Aren’t you going to answer that?” Marilyn asked handing me a glass of lemonade. I took it from her, mouthing a thank you. Lois is the one calling and I have promised myself to not respond to any calls that come from the Redmoon pack. Not even Karen can talk to me right now. They all knew about the things Kate indulged in and none of them talked her out of it. They must have been having fun fooling me. How I got myself together and returned home is still a mystery. I had nowhere else to go and who to turn to except Marilyn. I arrived last night and remained glued to th
Kate’s POVThe room was silent like there was no one in it. If not for the occasional heavy sighs from Karen and Lois, one wouldn’t think there was life around. I just sat there, feeling empty. Mh wolf had gone quiet and nothing seemed intriguing to me at the moment. All of my insides were worn out. My limbs are so weak, I doubt I would be able to lift a cup or carry my entire body. I wish I got the chance to put an end to Dame’s life. He has been nothing but a pure obstacle in my life. Since I met him, he has made sure to leave a lifetime mark for every chance he gets. I have never totally healed from the pain he caused me. I felt a sharp pain at the back of my neck. My head aches so bad. The
