Kate’s POV“I can’t believe you have to go now,” Mark whined as he pulled my bag out of the car.After our brawl over Charles a few days back, it didn’t take long for things to fall back into place. I decided to put my phone aside and enjoy the moment I had with him. Last night was fun as we had dinner with Marilyn and her man. Miguel joined us too. It was blissful and I would love to come back soon.Wrapping my arm around him, I kissed his lip, burying my head in his neck. “I know, baby. I will miss you the most. You do know you can always come to visit me anything. I will always be available to host you.”“That is so reassuring.” He grinned, rubbing his hand on my butt.I giggled, hitting his chest lightly. “Stop being so cheeky. I need to go now.”“Okay, baby. Do take care of yourself, mm.”“I will.”Our lips collided and we kissed for a few seconds. Each of us wishes we did not have responsibilities to deal with. I would have loved to stay back and enjoy being pampered. One last k
Kate’s POV“Damn, baby! You look ready to eat!” Lois commented as I stepped out of the house with Karen next to me. “Karen you did an amazing job with this dress can’t lie. Bianca would love to have something like this. Won’t you baby?” He asked his woman who appeared to be smitten by the dress.“Karen you are one hell of a designer!” Bianca added with adoration in her eyes.Karen blushed hard, “thank you. You all are far too kind.”I held her hand. “Didn’t I tell you it is an amazing piece? You should trust yourself from now on. I love my dress.” I mused.I have been fantasizing about it for a long time and I am glad that I eventually got the chance to wear it. Karen is so talented and I feel most proud as her friend and first client. Even though some alterations were made, it still turned out well. Complimenting the green color of the dress, I curled my hair and allowed it to cascade down my shoulder with simple jewelry to go. I felt like a work of art.“Thank you, Kate. Let’s just
Mark’s POVA string of curses escaped my lips as I saw the state of the kitchen. It looked like a madhouse. Carl and his crazy uncultured bitches are really getting on my nerves. But it is a weekend and I am in the mood to do some chores, so I got to it. My wolf chuffed in mockery, but I didn’t bother to give him the attention he seeks.I woke up feeling boxed and I can’t explain the feeling. Which is why I decided to come downstairs. The intention was to go mow the grass, but seeing the kitchen state. I just know I have to do it first.“What is going on man?” Carl arrived about five minutes into the cleaning. He had the same girl Kate complained about hanging onto his arm. They seem to be quite intune seeing how long they have spent together.But it is no surprise why that is the case. They will both live in a pigsty and no one will complain.I cocked an eyebrow with my lips thinned. “What does it look like?” I retorted.He grinned guiltily. “I see you are doing the dishes. Thought t
Mark’s POV“Are you crazy?” Carl asked me in horror. “How do you expect me to do that work again without losing the remaining sanity I have in me?”One would think I asked him to commit suicide. I only rearranged the studio that I had created in the house and instructed him to get to work. But it seems like it has become a trauma center for him.I clapped my hand and grinned sheepishly at him. “Well, that is the power of teamwork. I will stay here with you and help with whatever is needed. I am not going to hang around a one-time successful friend. You can loaf off me for the rest of your life. So I will rather go through this with you now than suffer for it later.”“Wow! Aren’t you incredible?” He sneered.“Get it to it, motherfucker!” I bellowed at him, growling with my wolf.Carl mumbled something unclear as he picked up the brush and began to mix the colors. I leaned into the chair watching keenly how he gets them together. One thing I respect about Carl’s art is the usage of his
Kate’s POV“This is an amazing report, Mr Lance. I am quite impressed at how much you have dedicated yourself to this project. Makes me relaxed because I know I can count on you.” I said to him.He blushed shyly. “I hope I always get to meet up to your expectations. If you didn’t give me another chance, I probably wouldn’t be here. So thank you for thinking me worthy enough.”I nodded with a smile. “You are an amazing person that should be paid attention to. I know it must have been a tough time for you having to deal with so much. But I am most glad that you didn’t up and leave.”“Still have you to thank for that.” He grinned.“You are welcome. So let me just approve this and then you let me know about the rest.” I said.Lance got the document back and left. Karen walked in afterward. I didn’t pay her much attention and just focused on the laptop screen.She dragged out a chair for attention and when she got none, she huffed. “How can you go quiet on us like that Kate? You really nee
Kate’s POVIf persistence was a person, then it would be Charles. The way he has been pushing for us to meet and talk is crazy. I thought he would head to my response after I told him off at his event. But he still pleaded for us to meet. This must be how he made it in the business world. Pushing for something he believes in and now I find myself falling for that part of him that just wouldn’t give up.Slamming my bag on the table, I flared my nose at him. “What exactly are you aiming at Charles? Don’t you get tired?”Charles glanced around the restaurant. “Please sit down. Don’t raise your voice, it will draw attention to us.” He said in a hushed tone.I wanted to tell him that I don’t care what anyone says, but I was forced to sit my ass down when my wolf reminded me of the many things that could go wrong.“Why are you stressing me out, Charles?” I asked genuinely tired of this back and forth.He sighed, “I have told you before, Kate. You aren’t just anyone to me. You are someone th
Mark’s POV“How is he?” Marilyn asked after Carl was next to me. We were standing by the garden while Carl sketched from a distance.I didn’t know exactly how to answer the question. It’s been a rough couple of weeks for both of us. Two weeks felt like two months. Carl is really having a hard time pushing through his creative block. Even when I tell him the painting is coming out nicely. He doubts me and cancels it out right on the spot and we are back to square one. I have almost lost my temper many times, but I stayed patient. Reminding myself that I knew this would happen.“Is it that hard to answer?” She pressed on.“Sort of. He is driving me crazy. Went out yesterday, and partied in his usual way. Only to return with a cut on his hand. He got into a fight. He is acting like a child of mine.”Marilyn laughed at that. “I bet he is. Or he just enjoys you doting over him.”“I bet he does.”“I have something to tell you, Mark. Can we take a little walk?”“Sure.”There was a brief sile
Kate’s POV“You look good!” Her wolf commented.The dress looked nice on me. Black and chic as I wanted it to be. Karen is going to go beyond with her skills and I am going to be here for it. She made me the dress and still doubted her prowess. At this point, I do not mind opening up the fashion house right this minute. I glanced at the time on my phone and quickly got to finishing up with my dressing. Charles would be here any minute from now and I want to be ready before he does.Checking myself out in the mirror, I smirked proudly. He would go nuts when he saw me. Karen was in the living room chewing on a large bowl of popcorn with her eyes glued to the TV when I stepped out. I got in her face twirling.“How do I look?” I asked, wiggling my shoulders.She snorted. “You look good. Can you get out of my face now?”“Hell no! I need you to see just how much glow I have on.” She sighed, staring at me with some obvious questions in her eyes. I huffed, well aware of what was running throu
Kate’s POVA Year and a Half LaterMy fingers sank into his bare back as he plunged into me. I could almost taste him at the tip of my tongue. His strong plan raised my ass cheek enabling him to thrust deeper. Mark grunted in pleasure as I wrapped my legs around his waist urging him to take all of me. His thrust was fast and hard. I was almost out of breath. I moaned loudly at each thrust. Our arousals lay thick in the air. A satisfied scream escaped my lips as he hit me hard and my entire body came undone like a surge of electricity just moved through me. Mark increased his pace and let out a loud groan, nutting inside me before he collapsed next to me panting slowly. I chuckled, caressing his chest with my finger.“How was it?” I asked, kissing his sweaty forehead.He turned to me, smacking my ass. “Magical as always.”“Is that so?” I teased.He smacked me again, his eyes smiling. “Stop being such a tease.”“I love to know that I got you good.” I grinned, causing him to cackle. “
Kate’s POVMy wolf paw thawed through the wet grass. I ran like my life depended on it. Hoping my worries will float away with the wind. My heart thumped really hard like it might leap out of its cage. Thinking through the last conversation i had with Mark which was a month ago. My head feels like it would explode. How he was able to say things like that to me without feeling awful, is so painful.“Stop thinking over it. You will keep hurting yourself.” My wolf said.I halted all of a sudden, falling to the ground helplessly. The tears that I had held back for so long rolled down my face uncontrollably. I wish I could just disappear to somewhere unknown and forget about all these troubles I have gotten into. From the look of things, finding true love might not be a part of my fate. I might be doomed to live by myself with no one to love me right. Learning to be happy with myself seems like the best thing I can do to get out of this. The thoughts are drowning me. Heartbreaks are quite
Mark’s POVI can feel their judgmental eyes on me. I clenched and unclenched my fist hating how she chose to ignore me instead of addressing the accusation. Seeing her today is a mix of emotions. Kate drives me to the edge. I wanted to sweep her off the ground, seeing how exhausted she is. At the same time, i wanted to question her for causing our relationship to hit the rocks. But i did none of that and allowed my anger to take charge.Barrister Alan walked up to me, putting a hand on my shoulder. “Mark, son, I don’t know what just happened. I just hope you will resolve it soon. You know in your depth that they do not make she-wolves like Kate anymore. Make sure your anger is justified.” He made a grunt and excused himself.I sat down, pulling at the root of my hair. I expected Carl to say something, instead, he walked away not sparing me a glance. Lately, he has been quiet. I can’t tell what is going on in his head. I felt a part of my headache. Tears pricked my eyes painfully. I di
Kate’s POV“I wish I didn’t have to come here,” Kate whined to Karen as they got out of the car.The barrister had sent consistent reminders and put calls through to make sure she doesn’t forget how important her presence is. If she had other ways, she would have stayed back. Seeing Mark so soon after their last discussion, has her feeling on the edge.Karen wrapped her arm around me. “You will do just fine, Kate. Don’t let yourself be bothered.”I didn’t say anything as my thoughts kept jumping. My wolf also tried to make me feel calm but I just can’t ignore the anxiety. Does he miss me? Has he been as miserable as I am since things went sour? I wish things would work out between us. I am even willing to look over his cheating. All I want is for us to be back together. But I guess that might not work out as I desire.Alan had asked that we meet at the house. I really wish he would have made it his office. That might ease any form of awkwardness. But I could lean into Karen’s presence
Kate’s POVMy body felt cold when I eventually found the strength to get off the floor. The blood in my limbs must have dried up considering how heavy they were. I went into the bathroom and sat in the bathtub while the water filled up around me. What a day! I don’t think I was this drained and lost when my father died and Dame made me a laughing stock. I crumbled then, but this time it was pure hell. The tears I shed ripped my insides to shreds at every heave. I just couldn’t hold back. Everything I loved was crumbling right in from of me. I guess anyone in my shoes would have felt the same.On second thought, I feel like I deserve it. My greed is the reason I couldn’t let go of Charles and just focus on Mark. I wanted to have a taste of freedom and indulge in a bit of recklessness. It bites me really hard in the butt. It was just a little flirting and a little kiss. All the same, it was wrong of me. Mark has no fault even though he cheated too. But I pushed him to it.I can’t cry an
Author’s POV“He did what?” Lois blurted, spitting out the juice in his mouth.Karen sighed, twirling the glass in her hand. They had returned from the Diamond Pack with Kate looking like her entire world had crashed down on her. One can tell just how unhappy she has become. The sight of Davina in Mark’s shirt with a smug look on her face already gave away the clue that their visit wouldn’t end well. It was hard to keep Kate down from visiting Mark to plead with him. However, she understood her persistence and just had to drop everything she was doing to travel with her.Hearing Mark dismiss Kate because of his own guilt was quite disappointing. Left to her, he was undeserving of her explanation from the start. It seemed too easy for him to move on. Everyone is experiencing a hard time because of him. And it didn’t take him long to dip his dick into another honeypot. Since they arrived, Kate has locked herself up in the room, refusing to talk to anyone. It is quite troubling not knowi
Mark’s POVThe morning sun burned my eyes as I attempted to open them. After struggling for a while, I eventually sat up with my eyes wide open. Letting out a loud yawn, I glanced to my side shocked at the person with me. The memories from last night came back stinging me in the head. I gulped hard. What the hell was I thinking? If I was drunk that would have been a perfect excuse. But I wasn’t. Davina was not drunk too and I remember she kissed me first. Why didn’t I say no to her? Fuck!Easing myself out of the bed, I got dressed quickly and tiptoed out of the room, not sure I had the courage to face her. What would I say? And how will I explain what just happened? After claiming to be in a relationship, I ended up sleeping with Davina with my eyes wide open.Unable to contain my thoughts, I ran out to the woods as fast as my legs could carry me. My wolf appears to be having a good time mocking me. My head aches like I have a hangover. Last night blew my mind. All I could do after r
Mark’s POV“Aren’t you going to answer that?” Marilyn asked handing me a glass of lemonade. I took it from her, mouthing a thank you. Lois is the one calling and I have promised myself to not respond to any calls that come from the Redmoon pack. Not even Karen can talk to me right now. They all knew about the things Kate indulged in and none of them talked her out of it. They must have been having fun fooling me. How I got myself together and returned home is still a mystery. I had nowhere else to go and who to turn to except Marilyn. I arrived last night and remained glued to th
Kate’s POVThe room was silent like there was no one in it. If not for the occasional heavy sighs from Karen and Lois, one wouldn’t think there was life around. I just sat there, feeling empty. Mh wolf had gone quiet and nothing seemed intriguing to me at the moment. All of my insides were worn out. My limbs are so weak, I doubt I would be able to lift a cup or carry my entire body. I wish I got the chance to put an end to Dame’s life. He has been nothing but a pure obstacle in my life. Since I met him, he has made sure to leave a lifetime mark for every chance he gets. I have never totally healed from the pain he caused me. I felt a sharp pain at the back of my neck. My head aches so bad. The
