Kate’s POV
“It is wrong that you are hoarding details. Come on, Kate.” Karen kept poking me from the window.
I refused to respond and turned my face to the window. We were getting ready to leave. Leon came by to say goodbye and I had to get into the car quickly to avoid any awkward interaction. He had texted and called all through but there was no response. He must have decided to give up when I refused to respond still.
Last night was hectic for me, I couldn’t get any sleep in as I kept thinking hard about how low I was ready to go. That is so not me. I don’t even like Leo
Mark’s POV“They aren’t even familiar with the pack. Why would they go clubbing?” Lois whined as he plopped onto the couch next to me. Carl chuckled. “Don’t worry, your woman is safe. The club is right underneath us in the safety of the hotel. And if you are thinking of going, sit your ass down. They warned that none of us should be there.” I scoffed to myself, taking a swig at the beer in my hand. Like I would want to be there. Kate can do whatever she pleases. I saw her heading out of the hotel last night looking all radiant for Leon. It’s no surprise she looked dejected this morning. Must be missing her man. “What’s with the silence?” Lois asked. “Nothing,” I grumbled in response. They both chuckled at the same time. “What is wrong, Mark?” Carl asked. I heaved, sucking my teeth. “I will never understand what these ladies want. We talked and said we would think through our feelings to be sure we wanted to be together. But is just a necessary formality. We want one another. It
Kate’s POVMy wolf grumbles and a splitting headache had me awake. I let out a yawn and almost gagged from the foul smell that left my mouth. What the hell? What did I eat? Scratching my eyes roughly, I blinked rapidly to get a glimpse of the room I was in. This doesn’t look like my room and where is Karen?I turned my head to the side and almost let out a yell at the sight of Mark seated calmly on the couch staring at me. I shut my eyes tightly trying to grasp the situation. What the hell am I doing in his room? I can’t seem to remember anything. I do remember going to the club with the girls. It will be best to pretend to be asleep until Mark steps out of the room. Moving my body cautiously, I pulled at the covers with my eyes closed. “You might get frustrated if you keep up that act.” His voice bounced through the corners of the room. I gulped at his words moving the cover slightly. “What?” Mark snickered, “You have been awake for the past five minutes. Why you chose to act lik
Kate’s POVI didn’t find Mark until noon. I almost had the feeling he was intentionally keeping away from me. But he had only gone hiking with Lois and Carl. Wouldn’t have been bothered even if he had truly been avoiding me. I was determined to clear the misunderstanding and move on. “Hey,” I mumbled next to him just as he settled by the bar for a drink. Mark chuckled lightly. “Here I was thinking you would avoid me the whole day.” “Really?”
Mark’s POVThe rest of the road trip went on with no hassle and we had premium fun. Kate became freer and I got to understand her more. Returning to our reality felt like a pain in the ass. I chuffed in my wolf form as I jumped past a large rock that had missed my eye. These past few weeks have been nothing but fun. Catching up with friends and laughing together. However, that didn’t erase the fact that my days here in the Redmoon pack were numbered. Marilyn already put in a memo informing the company boards back home that I would be returning. The courage would have left me if Kate hadn’t insisted that I return home just so we could have a clear vision of our feelings.
Kate’s POV“Mark, where are we headed?” I asked as he turned on the car ignition. He beamed brightly at me. “Why don’t you just enjoy the ride?” He suggested. I didn’t exactly have much strength to talk, so I did as told and enjoyed the cold night air that swished as we drove past the free road. I had hoped no one would go over and above to celebrate my birthday. Now I feel pretty bad for running out on the people who have nothing but love for me in their hearts.
Kate’s POV“What do you mean we should borrow funds for the upcoming projects? What happened to the reserved funds?” I questioned. There shouldn’t be a need to license guns. One should be able to make a purchase and use it. I keep forgetting that Dame works in the same space as I do. I want to break his bones to pieces. Would have been better if he kept his distance and had the decency to feel guilty about everything he did. But as it stands karma is friends with him and wouldn’t do anything to make him pay. I try my best to ignore him, but he always finds a way to get to m
Author’s POV Lance inhaled deeply as his hand touched the doorknob. He shouldn’t be here, it’s against his values. However, the past few days have turned out to be a form of self-reflection on whether he is truly the person he claims to be. It's all his father’s fault. Even if he wanted to remain unshaken in his values, he should have avoided debts at all costs. Sitting with Dame again isn’t part of his life decision. But he has been thrown a curveball and coming to the one person he should run from is his nemesis. Sighing again, he eventually opened the door.
Jean’s POVGoosebumps laced my skin at every slight stretch in my back. I dialed Dame again and he wasn’t responding. Tears rolled down my eyes as the pain hit again. Just this once, can he at least pretend that things are right between us? He never responds to anything that has to do with me. Even if I am the world’s biggest scum, I still don’t deserve to be treated like this. I thought we were getting close after he took my advice on how to deal with Kate. The minute things went sideways and didn’t work out he blamed me for it. I should have just listened to my mum and stayed with her. Instead of coming here to find a man that wants nothing to do with me.
Kate’s POVTears rolled down my face uncontrollably as I watched the funeral procession of Jean from afar. It was just Judith all by herself with Jean’s urn in her hand by the beach. Must be quite a sad life to have no one to lean on in this time of need. I would have loved to join her, but no one asked me. To an extent I might be losing my mind, considering how I had followed Judith all the way from the hospital down here. I just couldn’t turn my back on her. Maybe it was the last words she said to me or doing what my dad would have expected of me. “I can’t believe Dame is
Dame’s POVThe yell outside the door had me awake with a migraine bursting up my head. My wolf growled as the noise got closer. Who the hell are those constituting nuisance so early in the day? Struggling out of bed, i bumped my feet into the lady lying on her chest next to me. Another laid recklessly on the couch. A pleased smile spread through my face, last night was wild. I naturally wouldn’t bring them back to the house but I couldn’t help it. Not after that stupid Jean was stressing me out with her whines. It seems she takes solace in stressing me out and nagging me. “What the hell?” I cursed out when the ruckus behind the door didn’t stop. Getting up and heading towards the door, my nose was almost reconstructed from the violent opening of the door. “There he is, the bloody bastard!” Judith screeched pushing back the guards who tried to stop her and throwing her shoe at me. “Have you lost your mind, Judith? How dare you barge into my space like this?” I questioned. “Are yo
Kate’s POV“Won’t it be nice to have some cold beer to support this game? My mind is on the verge of bursting.” Karen whined for the umpteenth time since we started playing Jenga. I already warned her it would take a toll on her thought process but she refused. Now I am at the tail end of listening to her yaps. “Can you stop being such a child, Karen? Don’t forget that I warned you about this game. You just never listen to me. I have had a long day and now I have to deal with your whining.”
