Kate’s POV

We hurried towards the angle of the scream to find Mark next to the table intended for our guests broken to pieces on the floor with the flowers perched on it. In front of him was Amber screaming dramatically with her hands over her ears. She must have pushed Mark to the wall to make him lose his cool.

Jake stepped forward looking livid. “Have you gone mad, Mark? Why would you ruin something that Kate has been working so hard to put together? If you wanted to display your madness, couldn’t you have done it elsewhere? Where are your manners?”

Mark turned his furious look at me. “You never try to find out the reason behind my actions and are always quick to judge me. Do you know what this bitch did?”

“There will be no use of vile words in my home.” He warned.

“I am sorry, dad. But she withdrew a large amount of money from my account and is still laying claim to it. Why won’t you just leave me alone and go your way!” Mark sounded frustrated like he couldn’t seem to endure the

    Dame’s POVMy wolf felt restless as I pranced the room back and forth. Nothing seems to be forthcoming, leaving me in a more anxious state. I wonder what is taking Quadrick so long to get feedback from the meeting he attended on my behalf.“Easy, dear Alpha, you will dig a hole in the ground at this rate.” The girl I had picked up for the night drawled, holding up a smile on her.“Oh, you think you are funny?” I glowered at her, “Get the hell out now!” I ordered.She scampered off quickly leaving me to myself. I ruffled my hair in exasperation. This has been my routine in the last few years. My life and everything that I have worked for spiraled down the drain like it wasn’t decades of sheer hard work. Just one mistake and people couldn’t forget. They lied about the internet forgetting. My entire life seems to revolve around that tiny mobile.I had thought the investors that left then after my scandal with Jean were told to everyone who cared to listen, that it wouldn’t take long to g

    Mark’s POVThe light burned my eyes as I struggled to get up from the bed. I really should stay away from alcohol. It messes me up every damn time, but at the same time, it is the only means for me to get my mind off the many things bothering me. Checking my phone, Amber has dropped so many messages, the sight already makes my head spin.Just like my dad said, I saw the red flag and still ignored it. I needed to fill up the space of being left alone. Maybe I should have learned to live with myself first. A singsong laughter filled the air as I got off the bed. Wondering what was going on, I looked out my window. Kate was in the pool with my father laughing at something he was saying while he sat on the edge throwing water at her. Isn’t it too early to be out in the pool?I sucked my teeth at the sight. I don’t know what I feel towards her, but I am never relaxed to see her. Something about her just pulls me off.“Maybe you are concerned that she is closer to your father than you will

    Kate’s POVJake’s loud strained cough woke me up. I scratched at my eyes sleepily and when the sound came again, I practically jumped out of the bed rushing towards the bathroom to know what was wrong. He was on his fours, bent over the bathtub. I peeked at something that appeared to be blood from behind but he opened up the faucet before I could be sure of what I had seen. Placing a hand on his back, I rubbed at it gently. “What is the matter, Jake? Do I need to call your doctor?” He managed to stand up himself and shook his head. “Not at all, dear. I am fine. Just had a belly rumble. Must be the food I ate. Something towards indigestion.” “I should get you a pill for that,” I said attempting to leave for the kitchen. He held me back. “No, please. I am fine.” I squinted my eyes in suspicion and placed a palm on his forehead. It was warm, showing no sign of worry. “Alright, if you say so. How about some warm milk?” Jake looked like he wanted to refuse me, but he thought otherwi

I know you act like you can handle it all, but then the fact still remains that you have a heart that requires nurturing. So talk to me.” One of the t

    Mark’s POV“How did this happen, Mark? Why did you let her put you into this mess? What is wrong with you?” My dad hollered in a shaky voice. I winced, shrugging slightly. “Dad, you never should have resorted to paying her. What do you take Amber for? She is a leech and won’t leave so easily. Why do you think she took so much time to sign off the divorce papers?”He put up his well-known stubborn gaze. “There is no going back from this. I am not going to allow some brat to take away all of your hard work and rip off your name.”

    Kate’s POVMy paws thawed the ground like heat-melting wax. Anger surged through my furs and I just wanted to sink my canines into something. I do not know why Jake is unable to see through the facade Amber is putting up. Yes, she is signing a divorce paper. But that doesn’t hold back the leash she has on Mark. Her claws are sunk deep into him and I do not think he would ever be free. I don’t feel right about it and my wolf feels the same. I raced around the woods one last time before getting a grip on myself. I headed back to the house to get started on the management course that I had recently taken up. I am doing everything I can to make sure I am not lacking in any way. Having the right sk

I will gorge her eyes out if she ever crosses my path. “What is going on with you?” Mum asked from the side startling me. I jumped putting a hand to my chest. “Mum!

We are in a public space.” I mumbled, looking around the space like someone would come to question us. He made a face, unremorseful. “Oh, please. Like they do not yawn. I am tired of this setting. I want to go home.” He whined. “Why? I thought you were enjoying the meal. It's a nice conference.” I urged in a taunting tone. “Spare me that nonsense talk, all I want to do is have a good sleep. I have been roaming around for ages. I deserve the best of rest.” “Aww, baby.” I cooed, caressing his face. “You have worked so hard. I am sorry for putting you through this much stress.” Lois snickered. “Like you are truly sorry.” “But I am.” “If you are you wouldn’t go ahead to a resort while I was busting my ass off for the company.” “Why are you being so dramatic? You act like the restaurant wasn’t a five-star and you didn’t get paid extra for working so hard.” “Well

    Mark’s POVMy strength was thinning out as I kept going like I was on some sort of hunt. I have been running for miles now and I can’t even tell how long it's been out of here. My wolf whined in pain, no longer interested in my persistence. I would love to stop, but my head isn’t in the right state and I just want to keep going until there is a possible chance of me passing out. I still do not know what to do with Davina. Her situation makes me keep thinking about how gullible I might have been towards her and I am more angry at Carl for continuously beating around the bush. If he had just told me straight up the many reasons he doubted her stay in the house. Instead, he was acting like the world would crash down on him if he said something. My wolf snickered. “Would you have accepted his words for it? Just admit that you are obsessed with looking after Davina.” I swallowed hard, halting in my steps. I felt dizzy at the blood that rushed through my head. It’s hard to explain why I

    Mark’s POVThe content of the file made my head swirl continuously. You think you know someone only to realize you know nothing at all. I don’t know which I would have preferred to be kept in the dark about Davina’s true tales or to know about them. I had kept the file away from me for an entire week before I could summon the courage to open it. Maybe because I knew I was going to find something that would incriminate her. Now that I have read through the entire content, I am vividly mad that she took me for a ride. It would have been better if she lied just about her divorce. One would understand her desperation to be away from the guy. I shut my eyes tightly, hitting my head against the chair. What am I supposed to do?“You know exactly what to do, Mark. Stop asking questions like you aren’t aware of how much risk this could bring to your life and business. Are you just going to let her move around freely despite everything that you have just discovered?” My wolf sounded displeased

    Kate’s POVWho would have thought meeting with Charlotte would yield so much? I was expecting a fight and also to just put an end to the bullshit Charles intended threatening me at every chance they get. We aren’t children, so it makes no sense to keep doing stupid things. “And who says adults aren’t allowed to be stupid?” My wolf queried. “You know exactly what I am talking about.” I retorted. She grumbled in response. I wasn’t surprised when I got home to find Karen and Bianca at the house working on a dress. They could have done that at the store, instead for the sake of hearing a gossip, they came all the way home. “Spill it already.” Karen blurted unable to remain patient. Bianca looked up at me. “Is your hair still intact? I bought glue just in case you might need it.” She said with a calm expression you would think she is really looking out for me.” “Go to hell.” I retorted, taking off my shoes and joining them on the rug with my arms spread out like my life had been gutt

    Kate’s POVI shouldn’t be here. I should not be found in this fucking space! But here I am. When would I really get over this moment that keeps revolving around Charles? It’s as if I am glued to keep doing things that I would regret. Here I am seated with Charlotte trying to discuss why I am with her intended man. I actually accepted this invitation because I am thoroughly bored and I could do with the entertainment. Karen is waiting back home to hear what we have been discussing. “Why are we seated here Charlotte? I have a lot of work to do. Coming out here is taking too much time out of my schedule already.” “Is that so? Because from the way you gallivant around town with Charles, you don’t seem too busy.” She replied. I chuckled at her words. “Really? Are you keeping tabs on every one of his moves? Shouldn’t you be exhausted at this point? Constantly chasing after a man who doesn’t pay much attention to you is not a good trait for a woman who prides herself so high. Or wait, is

    Mark’s POV“Is this some sort of a joke, Mark?” Clara questioned. I sniffed, adjusting myself on the chair while Carl spread his legs out going all serious on his sketchbook. I hate it when he leaves me to deal with my mess in cases like this when he really should be helping me out. But then, I brought this upon myself. I didn’t realize a sudden meet-up would be required just because I mentioned to Clara that she would need to offer Davina a bit of help in her career line. We have been at it for almost three days which is quite draining. I thought it was just a one-call thing and that would be it. Now Davina would think that I was just bluffing to her. Clara has been a major part of Carl’s career and life since our college days and pops up in mine once in a while. Being a designer who mixes art with fashion, she made sure to keep Carl close even when we weren’t all a big deal yet. Our communication isn’t every time because of her busy schedule. Always flying around packs. We also de

    Mark’s POVI yawned recklessly as the hunger hit me a bit more. This is part of the disadvantage of not eating on time. I didn’t even know when I fell asleep. It was a long day. Only for me to wake up in the middle of the night feeling super hungry. I thought it was morning when my eyes were wide open. But it turned out to be just a bit past twelve. Dragging my feet down the stairs with its light, I was about to turn towards the kitchen when I heard someone sobbing. My ears perked at the sound. Who could it be? Using my nose to sniff out the person’s scent and ear to fish out the location of the sound since there was no light on. I was shocked to find Davina seated on the floor with her arms wrapped around her. The first thing I did was to put on the light before I sat next to her to ask what was happening. Seeing her face clearly, I felt sad for her. Her eyes were swollen from the constant tears. “Are you alright, Davina? Why are you crying?” I asked, caressing her back slowly. S

    Mark’s POVMy legs didn’t seem to have an actual life in them as I kept dragging them around the room. These boys can be so annoying when it comes to putting them to work. They had no business in hurting Davina’s ex-husband. He was just supposed to be arrested, read the charges against him, and locked up for good. But they just had to shoot at him. Chances are his legs will never be the same again. “Why are you feeling so restless? It’s not as if you went to shoot the dude yourself.” Carl stated in his nonchalant tone. I wouldn’t expect him to understand my dilemma since he is so hellbent on hating Davina and everything around her. Just when I was about to give me a piece of my mind, the door opened letting in Davina. I gulped hard, blinking slowly at her. She had this strange expression on her face that had me worried already. “What was that you were telling me on the phone, Mark?” She asked coolly. I exhaled a shaky breath. “Davina, the thing is….” “Your ex-husband was shot.” C

My friends already stood up with their wolves on the surface, only for my eyes to meet with the assailant and it appears she got the wrong person. The lady dropped my hair like it scaled her hands as she gasped loudly with a hand to her mouth. “Oh my goodness! Miss, I am so sorry. I thought you were the lady I was searching for. She has red hair just like yours and came in here.” What! To think I just lost a lot of blood right now thinking my life has finally reached its end. Just then the lady she was looking for indeed ran out of the restaurant. My assailant didn’t even bother to wait to find out if I forgave her or not before she bolted after her victim. Even in my state I already feel sorry for the red-haired lady. Because unless she gets saved by a miracle. She wouldn’t be getting out of that cl
