Kate’s POV
“In my entire life, I don’t think I have met someone as heartless as Dame. Did you see his face? He didn’t appear to be mourning.” I complained to Lois as we settled into the office couch.
Karen who had decided she wanted to come to the office with me scoffed. “You mentioned he never loved her. How do you expect someone like that to mourn over her? He must be glad she is dead.”
Lois let out a tired yawn. “We have come to the conclusion a long time ago that Dame isn’t and would never be worth the emotion. As much as it hurts that Jean had t
Mark’s POVWho would have thought a time would come in my and Kate’s life when she gets to rant about her day to me and I just sit through it all listening to her? Despite the evident anger on her face, she looks beautiful. “You are ogling her.” My wolf taunted. I smiled to myself, taking a sip of my drink to keep it hidden. Crazy Karen on the other hand can’t seem to hide the amusement she was feeling while Kate lamented. I wasn’t surprised when I saw them together. Since Karen insisted on following Kate to the office, I knew they wouldn’t move apart for the re
Kate’s POV“Who the fuck do that bitch think she is? How dare her come at you like that?” Karen whined as I entered the house. To keep my mind from going back on forth on the many occurrences of today, I went to the woods to run. On my return, Karen still hadn’t gotten over the scene Rayna pulled. I huffed, sitting opposite her with my legs crossed. “Can we stop talking about her already? How were you fuming for over an hour with no one here with you?” I inquired.
Mark’s POVHave never felt this frustrated in my entire life. Tugging at the tail end of my hair, I punched at the bed in exhaustion. I have been trying to sleep, but instead, all that keeps coming to my head is everything Kate said to me. What is wrong with her? Why would she even go to such extreme thoughts? It’s becoming a routine of us going through this many emotions to understand a simple discussion. I don’t know how else to handle her insecurity. “Do you think she is wrong to have them?” My wolf asked. I inhaled sharply, rubbing at the back of my neck. I feel so restless, if I don’t get this aching thought out of my head then it will be a big-time pain for me. Pulling off the sheets, I stepped out of the room to go for a run. I felt too lazy to shift into my wolf, so I just ran on my feet for a bit. Five minutes later, I found myself on the porch breathing like I had just been punched in my gut. Karen’s presence took me by surprise, I was too engrossed in myself and didn’t
Mark’s POVWhat would have been the odds three years ago if I was told patience would be something I had to learn the hard way? I never did much work to love anyone. Just thought it didn’t require too much and gift buying was enough. However, getting on with Kate has made me realize I have to do beyond buying her gifts or taking her out to eat.She needs to see that I mean everything I tell her from every little action I put out. To think I had to learn this from loose-headed Karen. I must have been a lost cause. Humming to myself as I flipped the pancake in the pan, I smiled to myself at the detailed breakfast. I went all out just so she wouldn’t give an excuse for not wanting to eat something
Kate’s POV“A bouquet?” My wolf noted before I did. A small smile tugged at my lips as I got closer to the table wondering who would have sent such beautiful flowers and a chocolate box to me. I had a guess it might be Mark. I snatched it from the table hopefully and the hopes were dashed immediately i read the note from the sender. Sucking my teeth, I tossed the flowers into the trash can and was about to do the same with the chocolate box when Karen yelled out to me. “Wait!”
Kate’s POVRelaxing in a bathtub is the best feeling ever if I am asked. After running through the woods for a while, I thought to reward myself with a nice bath. Then I will settle on the couch with enough junk and binge-watch movies with Karen. That is the life. Mark went to Carl for the night. So it’s just us girls. I spent enough time in the bath before stepping out of it to get dressed. While at it Karen walked in without knocking. “I could have been naked you know?” I said.
Kate’s POVLois was wrong. It wasn’t gone, nothing changed despite the several calls he made for the post to be brought down and reported. I was shocked when I arrived at the office the next day and everyone had something to say about me. Some bloggers even came by to hear my side of the story. Those fucktards! I didn’t know when my claws erupted from my nails to sink into one of the ladies talking about me in the elevator. If not for Karen who remained relaxed surprisingly through it all and held me down. Definitely, they don’t recognize me. If not they wouldn’t be talking trash about me in my presence. One was most annoying, saying she was certain I had given Alpha Dame a love po
Kate’s POV“Why is she here?” I questioned Lois. Judith had been invited to the office without any prior notice and I don’t think I appreciate the gesture. Lois sat up and cleared his throat. “I tried to bring the videos down, but it had circulated quite much. That is not to say I won’t get around it. But we need to make sure another video isn’t made. So I invited her over for you both to come to a compromise or we have her sued.” Judith cackled dryly. “You are going to sue me? How do you intend to do that when the entire public is supporting me? Thi
Kate’s POVThe call was getting intense and I had to park my car by the side of the road to avoid ramming into a truck. I placed the phone right flaring my nose at Mark who seemed to be avoiding my eyes. “Why won’t you just make a report to the authorities since it keeps persisting?” I queried. Mark sat down and groaned. “Kate, it is not as easy as that.” “How? Can you see the harm they have done to you? Is it until one of you can’t be saved that w
Kate’s POV“For someone that went to a party. Why are you chugging down the cereal as if starved?” Karen questioned. I chewed the ones in my mouth slowly trying not to choke. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized I didn’t get to eat anything at the party which doesn’t even sound right. There were varieties of mouth-watering meals on the buffet table. I think the problem was me being too reserved to dive into those premium delicacies. Charles was too preoccupied with himself that he just dropped me at home and drove off. Would probably be pissed that I have to thi
Kate’s POVWhen Charles had boasted about his daughter, I thought she was a pretty little thing. Only to be slammed in the face with a young teen celebrating her thirteenth birthday. And I have to say, there is nothing pretty about her. She acts like a little bitch. Coupled with the fact that she already got her wolf, I pity the meek children she must be attending school with. Daisy my ass. Since I walked into the party space all she has done is order the house workers around and scream at every little thing. When Charles said to go say hello to the birthday girl, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. “Hey, my princess. Meet my friend, Kate.” Charles introduced us.
Dame’s POVI can feel my dick deep in her throat but the excitement wasn’t there. Instead, I feel the strong urge to jam her head right against the wall for being so sloppy. What does she think she is doing gagging like that? Sucking my teeth, I pushed her roughly backward. She blinked like a dummy. “Did I do something wrong, my lord?” She asked. “Yes, you suck. Get the hell out!” I ordered, ruffling my hair. Picking up my whiskey-filled glass, I stared at it
Author’s POV“Was it that fun?” Karen cackled as Kate narrated her date with Charles and how much time they spent together. Kate giggled on the other end. “Believe me, Karen. He is the most interesting man I have ever come across. I want more outings with him and I can’t wait for you to return and meet him. He invited me to his daughter’s birthday this weekend.” “Oh, wow. He has a child and he wants you to meet her already. He sounds like someone who knows exactly what he wants and doesn’t hold back from getting it.”
Kate’s POV“Is it that funny?” Charles asked, taunting me when he knew well that his words were hilarious. It's unlikely that I have had this sort of moment with anyone before. From Charles's words, one can tell just how mischievous he is. Regaling me with tales of his childhood and the silly things he has indulged in being an adult. It was worth calling him. I can’t believe I have been pushing a moment as delightful as this back for a long time. Waving my hand, I cleared my throat. “If we continue this way I might lose my voice. Charles, you are a handful. How is it that you are still single?” I inquired nosily. He is obviously in the same age group as Dame. And men of power like them like to show just how much hold they have on a woman. He shrugged taking a sip of his drink. “Well, it seems my baggage might be too much for others to carry.” Quirking my brow, I asked. “How is that?” “I have a daughter.” He announced. “Oh.” I wasn’t expecting that. Maybe I should have just maint
Kate’s POVNo one told me just how bored one can get when there isn’t much to do or long conversations to get by. After spending two days all by myself I had to come to the conclusion that I can’t do much alone. Lois who would have made it easier for me to cope followed his woman home. She had lost her maternal grandmother and needed the support. Lois had offered that I come with them. But I hate being in an unfamiliar environment with no one to stick to my side through it all. Throwing my arms out, I rolled on the rug countlessly. I have exhausted my wolf so much that she has refused to respond to me. I have done more runs in the woods to clear my head in the last two days than I have ever done in years. If I were her, I would blank out too. I have had long talks with Karen, Marilyn, and Mark. They all seem to be having fun without me. But that sounds silly of me to say knowing no one is stopping me from showing up. Inhaling deeply, I sat up looking around the house as I thought of
Mark’s POVMy eyes remained glued to my phone screen as I took a sip of my drink. I don’t know why she hasn’t called me yet. It’s been over an hour. If that asshole tries anything stupid, I would have him beaten to a pulp. “If you wanted to remain glued to your phone. You shouldn’t have accepted my invitation to come out with me. Are you expecting something or someone?” Carl inquired with his nose up. I clicked my tongue in response. “It’s Karen. She asked that I pick her up from where she went. But I haven’t gotten any message or call from her.” “She is probably still busy where she is. Moreover, when did she arrive?” Early this morning.” I was surprised when she called and said she was arriving at the Diamond Pack airport. I spoke to Kate yesterday and she didn’t mention anything about Karen coming home. It wasn't until Karen told me exactly why that I realized why Kate didn’t say anything. I have always regarded James from afar and didn’t expect him to put up such a crappy att
Kate’s POVLois was right about me not getting over the trauma of being assaulted so quickly. In the past three days since the incident, I have become a scared cat. I close my eyes and Dame with his vicious hands are the things that haunt me. When I am alone, I am on alert glancing back and forth like I fear he would leap out of nowhere and pounce on me. That bastard! Even though I know in my head that he isn’t coming. I still feel anxious no matter how much I try to downplay it. I have worked out persistently to keep my mind focused on something else, but it does very little. The more I see the scar on my neck the more I am reminded of it. Checking the mirror now there are little to no scratches there and it brought relief to me. I finally wouldn’t have to keep seeing it. Karen and Lois have been amazing. Watching over me and treating me like I was truly deserving of all they had to offer. Every day I wake up and thank the goddess for putting this amazing set of people in my life.
