Kate’s POVThe chaos that followed with Rayna being put to the ground had me confused for a moment. Lois had called the police and I just sat there trying to process everything that just happened. Everyone had arrived at the point. “You are bleeding Kate. We need to get your nose checked.” Lois said. Marilyn who walked in on the ruckus held up a first aid box. “I will take care of it.” She replied, putting out the cotton wool. “I can’t believe that crazy bitch followed you all the way here. We would need to change the door code now.”
Mark’s POVI paced the front porch eagerly while stretching out my neck to catch a glimpse of the gate like I wouldn’t know if a car made its way in. My balls still hurt but that doesn’t matter. The look Kate gave me before she left the house had my heart racing fervently. This was what I tried to avoid. I told them the best thing to do was tell Kate the actual truth, but they didn’t listen to me. I blame myself for accepting the advice. My wolf felt restless and my insides churned. Reaching for my phone in my pocket, I dialed Karen but she wasn’t responding. It would be useless to call Kate as she had left her phone at home. My heart raced and I might pass out for real if this con
Kate’s POV“I was worried you and Karen had spent the night out. Good morning baby.” Marilyn greeted me as soon as I stepped into the house. I had gone for a run to recharge myself after struggling to get a good sleep the night before. The incident with Rayna kept replaying in my head and closing my eyes had her showing up in my dream. I don’t know when I might recover from this recent incident. It would take a while to get myself back together. Pulling the stool out, I sat on it biting into an apple I picked from the ones Marilyn was dicing. “Sorry, we just stayed out late
Kate’s POV“What are you doing?” Lois questioned behind me. Not responding, I dropped every one of my things into the bag hastily. There is no way I am going to stay under the same roof with Mark anymore. We should have come to terms a long time ago that we aren’t meant to be together. I don’t know why my silly self thought it was okay to keep pushing through. Tears filled up my eyes, blinding me for a brief second. I feel rejected even though I was the one who brought it up first. “Kate!” Lois bellowed as he held my hand firmly. I struggled to return to the bag
Kate’s POVMiguel in his usual fashion of surprising one took me to a private ice rink. I thought he was joking when he said we had to get on it. My wolf almost jumped out of my skin at each split my legs did. It never occurred to me to want to get involved in something like this. My dress just went to waste as he didn’t tell me what I should expect. Had to change into the required attire for the event. But in all honesty, I enjoyed the thrill that accompanied it. Might try it again if I get the chance. “Why here of all places?” I asked Miguel after we settled at the food court.
Mark’s POVMy claws kept digging into the ground as I bared my teeth at the tree like it had offended me. After running around the woods for so long, I needed something to keep me distracted. So I chose to dig the root of a tree. It is stupid, but it sure does the work. I have no bloody idea of what is going on in Kate’s head. It’s as if she is hellbent on ruining what we have shared for months. Damn, that crazy Rayna too who doesn’t know when to stay away. I sort of hate my life right now. Nothing is going the way I want it. The words I blurted out to Kate weren’t somethin
Kate’s POVIt’s always chilly when one steps out for a run in the woods early morning. I had my teeth gnashed together as I raced through it. My body needed the reset after two days of rough sleep. Despite Karen’s presence in the house, I can still feel Mark’s absence. For some reason, I hoped he would follow suit after we left, but I guess he doesn’t have much to return to here. He probably would send someone over to come get his things as they have all been boxed. I halted in the middle of the race, bending to the ground. Why do I feel so heavy-hearted? Putting an end to things between us is for my own good. I have almost lost my mind in the bid to put a call through to him and d
Kate’s POVMaybe I should have arrived at work earlier. Chaos seemed to have ensued while I was away. I met Lois looking furious and blowing hot at Lance. “What is going on?” I asked putting my bag down. Lois sucked his teeth, ruffling his hair. “You won’t believe the contract we were supposed to take on has been canceled. ““How is that possible, Lance?” I turned to the CEO.
Mark’s POV“So what are you saying, Kate?” I asked, tapping my phone on the table slowly. “Does this mean I was right all along?” She ruffled her hair about three times in a second. I can sense her frustration, but I need and deserve an explanation too. “Mark, please. Just hear me out. As I mentioned before, he is a business associate. We joined hands on the current project the company is working on. We went on friendly outings and he expressed himself to me which I turned down. But he is quite persistent and insists on doing what it takes to make me his.” &ldqu
Kate’s POVAlcohol they say is bad for the body, to me, it is going to be the death of me. I struggled with my wolf to get the run in. But I couldn’t I had too much to drink. We had visited Lois cafe to try out the new beer he was adding to his menu. It turned out to be of great taste since it was free, Karen and I like greedy dwarfs almost choked on it. Was it fun? Yes. Would I go again if there is a chance? Yes. Life is fun when you keep pushing yourself to your death. But my wolf didn’t seem to agree with that as I opened up my mouth and poured out the remaining content in my belly into the dry leaves. I cursed at the awful taste at the back of my tongue. Feeling lightheaded I quickly heade
Kate’s POV“Kate!” Karen screamed from her room while I was still struggling to be awake and ready for work. I yawned loudly, ruffling my hair. “What is it, Karen? Why are you so hyped?” I questioned, sniffing. She put her phone to my face. “Check this out!” It felt like fog on my face, I had to push the phone backward, scratch my eyes, and eventually make my eyes bigger before I got a clear view of it. A loud gasp escaped my mouth causing Karen to stagg
Mark’s POV“Hey Mark!” Davina cooed from the other end into the receiver. I jumped past a fallen tree panting heavily. “Hi, Davina. How are you today?” “I am fine. Oh, are you running right now?” She asked the obvious. Isn’t my panting enough to tell that is the case?“Yes, wanted to get my steps in for the night.”“That is nice. I wanted to thank you again for the other day.” “You don’t have to keep doing that Davina. We are friends after all. How is the house hunting?” My question seemed to excite her as the words took another turn. “I found an amazing house penthouse today. It’s incredible. The view is lovely.” “A penthouse? Isn’t that on the high side?” I asked halting in my steps. “Not really. This one is actually really cheap goes for about ten thousand a month so I paid for two years.” “Hmmn, that’s nice..” She raised her tone up a notch again. “It really is. Imagine the number of pictures I would get to take to style my clients.” “But two years locked down rent payme
Kate’s POV“I am so exhausted!” Bianca whined throwing herself onto the couch. I chuckled, chewing on popcorn “Sorry, Karen has almost worked you thin.” She raised herself to look at me. “I have no idea how she does it always so determined to expend herself on a job. I wish I had half of her strength.” I smiled glancing at Karen who seemed to be so engrossed with the dress she was working on. I have seen just how much work she puts in and one can tell it
Mark’s POV“Are you sure that isn’t too much money?” My wolf asked as I wrote the check. I stared at the amount again and pouted. “No, I think it is just enough. I can afford it. So it is only right that I give it as much as I can. This will help her get started as she wants. She will never have to think about how to survive anymore instead it will be more about the many things she can now indulge in to make things better for herself.” He went quiet and that made me unsettled a little bit. It is just half a million dollars. It wouldn’t even feel like I took such an amount from my account. This shouldn’t be considered too much from someone like me. I just hope she won’t think it is too small. “Yo, my man!” Carl busted into the study like the noisemaker that he is. I rubbed my forehead, regretting the decision to go out with him. I should have requested that we head out in separate cars. Miguel is hosting a ball, which is a usual event at the packhouse every year. I never used to at
Kate’s POV“Do you think Charles might be in love with you?” My wolf asked.I stirred my coffee, looking out the window with swollen eyes I shrugged because I was really not aware of anything much going on with him. If he is in love with me that means trouble, what am I supposed to do with the affection? I already have enough from Mark. This wasn’t what I intended. Having Charles's father come beg me for his son seems ridiculous to me. They should have just left me to myself and accepted that things weren’t going to ever work out between us.I sighed heavily staring down at the now cold coffee. Is this what Karen and Lois meant when they said I would be stuck in a pool? Because it does feel like a pool. I couldn’t sleep a wink last night after Donald came to visit me at the office. It was more draining that I couldn’t talk about it to Karen just yet. She being the crazy girl would laugh at me and leave my soul hanging. I do not know how long it would take for things to die down.Right
Kate’s POVThe documents in front of me were beginning to look like they were written in foreign words. My eyes ached badly from lack of sleep. I have been working a bit hard to ensure the project that we are on does not flop. It is the first project being done in Dame’a’s absence. Speaking of Dame, his Alpha’s ball is apparently the talk of the town. Everyone anticipates it like it is some expected festival that they have been waiting for years.I do remember that the ball was one that I had looked out to attending so many years ago. When I missed the chance of getting to serve the guest. I had cried for two days straight and I remember Lois being there all through consoling me with chocolates and candies like it was the only way out that he was aware of. A small smile broke on my face at the memory. Those were the good old days. Whenever I look back at the growth myself and Lois have had. I do nothing else but be thankful to the goddess that I still have my very good friend with me.
Mark’s POVI stared in awe as Davina moved with gait around the showroom putting the attires together and taking pictures of them. When we got talking she let me know she was a fashion stylist. She works for a couple of celebrities. Creating outfits for fashion shows and photoshoots. I have seen the way she puts things together and it is super impressive. I have always known her to be resourceful which makes it a proud moment to see how much she is doing.It’s been a month since we reconnected at the club and got talking. But we haven’t met physically due to busy schedules. I don’t know what it is, but it almost feels as if old flames are rekindling. It's a dangerous thing to tend towards and I know it wouldn’t last. At the same time, after a long time, I find myself wanting to engage in some flirty engagements just for the fun of it.“Won’t you be going too far engaging her?” My wolf asked.“It is just talking. Don’t get ahead of yourself.” I replied, snorting. Kate is the only one I
