Kate’s POV
It’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 POVAnxiety got a grip hold on my mind. I kept adjusting on the chair while my eyes lingered on the door. I had arrived at the Redmoon to get my things when I knew Kate would be at work. After sending them off, it dawned on me that I couldn’t just leave without having a word with Kate. Thinking through our conversations for days, I just had to conclude that it doesn’t have to end like that between us. We can work something out. Being myself would be a hard task knowing she is still out of my reach. Kate didn’t respond to the text I sent her, not even the restaurant address. But I came anyway, hoping she would too. Because I do remember how I had acted the last time and no one in t
Kate’s POVMy wolf purred at the beautiful sight in front of us. I woke up next to Mark and my heart felt warm. Dinner last night felt so good. Karen was the most delighted to know that we were back on talking terms. We had slept separately at first before Karen came to my room to whisper to me to go sleep next to him. Smiling to myself, I caressed his hair. As I made a move to leave, he pulled me back into his chest. “Where are you going?” He asked with his eyes partially closed. I giggled, placing both of my hands on his chest. “I need to go get ready for work. Aren&rsquo
Mark’s POV“Hey, Mark. I am making dinner with Lois, it will be ready soon.” Kate said kissing my cheek. “Okay, baby. I will just take a walk around the house.” I replied. She nodded in response and went back in. I haven’t been able to sit since we returned from touring Kate’s favorite places in the pack. Lois joined us along the way for dinner since I am due to leave tomorrow finally. Inhaling deeply, I walked towards the shed where I always painted. I would miss this house that had provided me with solace for the past year. Something I didn’t think I wou
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 something that I intended to do. However, it came out and she took it seriously. This morning she left with, Lois and Karen back to the Redmoon pack. Like a moron, I just sat there on the couch watching everything unfold in front of me. And now I am here taking my frustration out on a tree that knows nothing. My wolf growled in complaint and I could feel Carl trying to communicate with me through the mind portal. They mi

Mark’s POVThere are some things one is prone to act on and in the depth of your mind, you just know you should probably stay away. I am at that crossroads now. I don’t want to do this. Even if I claim to have turned a new thinking about life it doesn’t mean I have a changed opinion about a few things. One of them is Miguel. I never liked him from the start or let’s say the likeness turned into detest as we grew older. I thought we were good friends until he started becoming a major part of my small family life. Dad turned him into that idea of the son he never had. I was supposed to be the one my father turned to whenever he had something crucial to discuss. Maybe I was quite hung up on my dad, but it is the way I feel and I don’t think I was wrong to want him to myself. Miguel also had his father who he could have held onto and left mine for me. It was worse when Miguel got to know that I didn’t like him because of his relationship with my father. He used the chance to get closer
Kate’s POV“Miss Mccatty? Miss Mccatty? Kate, please wait.” Lance called out to me. I didn’t want to stop to hear whatever excuse he had to give. For someone I trusted enough to hand over the reins. He sure poked me in the eyes really bad. Can’t even start explaining how utterly disappointed I am in him. “Kate, please.” He rammed into my thoughts as he stood in front of me like a broken person. “Please can we talk? I promise to not take too much of your time.” I furrowed my brows at him. “What exactly do you have to say to me, Lance? The fact that you refused to send a complete profile to the investment company to fund the project. Or knowing someone was trying to sabotage us and yet you did nothing. If I knew your dedication didn’t lie in your craft but your friend do you think I would have given you the job?” I queried. He gulped staring down at his feet. “The only thing I didn’t do was indulge in a thorough inspection. I am sorry, Kate. It wasn’t my intention to disappoint you.
Dame’s POVThe more I stared at the document in front of me the dimmer the words and numbers on it. That bitch is really working up my nerves. I thought she already learned her lesson with the money she lost from the investor. How is she continuing with a project that I made sure was brought to a halt? I groaned in frustration, slamming the documents against the table. The table phone rang countlessly and I just stared at it feeling repulsed. Just when it stopped, the door opened and Lance peeked in. “Dame, you are here.” He stated as if surprised to see me. “Why? You have a problem with that?” “I have been calling that phone to call you up for the meeting we are having with Charles Sanders which is mandatory for you to attend. The memo was sent to your mail. Why are you keen on making me look bad? I am the CEO, I shouldn’t have to come get a head manager to a conference meeting.” He rambled like he still had a lot to say.“Maybe you are forgetting here that I am the Alpha, Lance
Mark’s POV“Amber.” I mouthed, feeling unsettled at the sight of her. Just when I thought my day was going to go with no hitch. She giggled childishly, taking slow strides towards me. “Hi, honey. Thought to come surprise you on your first day back to work.” Taking two steps backward when she tried to kiss me, I held a displeased gaze. “How did you know I was resuming today? And how the hell did you get in?” Amber snickered, “Isn’t it obvious that I came in through the door? Why are you acting cold?” She asked. “What are you doing here?” I questioned again. Flipping her hair, she groaned out loud and plopped onto the couch. “I wanted to say hello to an old friend. What’s wrong with that? Or did Kate ask you to not talk to me?” “Can you not bring Kate into this? State whatever it is you came here for. I only have ten minutes to spare you.” “Well, that is enough time for me.” Amber giggled again and pulled me to herself with my tie. “I have missed you so much, baby. All this while
Mark’s POV“You look sharp!” My wolf commented. I smirked in response, feeling good. It’s been an entire year since I got dressed for the office. Quite intriguing to be staring at myself in the mirror feeling like an entirely different person. Days when I went to the office I was always preparing for some sort of fight with Kate. Always prepare myself mentally in a bid to get into her head and mess with her just so she can misbehave. That way Dad ends up disappointed with her. But nothing I ever did made him distrust her and that crippled me. With everything that has happened, I
Kate’s POVI couldn’t wait to get home. Karen had called during lunch to say she might be back home late and promised to grab dinner for us along the way. Not wanting to return home and have a burst of excitement with all that I had to tell her, I decided to stay back at the office and work more until I knew she was close to returning. Lois was quite amused when he found out I wasn’t heading home immediately, but I didn’t want to tell him this tea because he wouldn’t get the point of my frenzy. So I can’t have him ruin it for me. The moment I got Karen’s message saying she was headed home. I packed up everything that belonged to me and made for the car.
Kate’s POV“I can’t believe I was about to miss a chance at getting to know an incredible woman like you,” Charles commented after the meeting was over. I crossed my legs and folded my arms. “So are you trying to say this meeting might be regarded as a successful one?” “Won’t refuse it.” He replied with a boyish grin on his face. “So if you don’t mind me asking. Why did you back out in the first place?”
Kate’s POVWith Mark back at the Diamond pack our issues were resolved. My mind feels more relaxed and focused. I have fallen back into the routine of exercising my wolf every morning. After long thinking, I realized it would be best if I confronted the work demons in front of me. Driving all by myself to the office of the investor who had backed out made me feel some sort of anxiety. Lois and Karen had offered to come with me but I assured them that I would be fine and could handle the situation at hand with no worries. It's time I start doing things by myself and stop expecting others to do it for me.
