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
Mark’s POV“Sir, there is someone in your office.” My assistant, Desire informed me. I raised a suspicious brow. “Who? Is it my father?” She swallowed hard, showing that I might not like the next thing she was about to say. “Miss Am..mber.” Sucking my teeth in annoyance, I cursed under my breath storming into the office only to be left rooted on the spot like a fool.
Jean’s POVMy eyes laced heavily with tears as I stared at the phone screen. Dame would be the end of me. The person I hired to help keep a close eye on him just sent me pictures of him hanging around another model. 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! Why are you creeping around like that? What is wrong with you?” “Have you gone bana
Dame’s POVThe kiss had taken me by surprise, but I couldn’t seem to back out. Probably it had to do withJean’s grip on my hair or my desire to get a free pussy. I can smell her arousal. Her hand roamedmy body desperately and my shameless dick didn’t hesitate to rise like never before. Flipping heraround for her back to face me. I pulled up the dress she had on.Dipping one of my fingers into her, I threw my head to the back as her pussy juice dripped downthe finger. Lust swam in the corner of my eyes. Desire wrapped itself around me and all I canthink of is fucking her. Tearing out the pant that she had on roughly, I unbuckled my trouserletting my dick spring out freely.Holding her ass up to me, I thrust my full length into her. She gasped loudly, gripping the sheetswith both hands. I didn’t give her a moment of rest slammed against her hard and fast. Throwingmy head to the back in p
Mark’s POV“Eww, that doesn’t look nice.” Kate giggled as she pointed to the bowl of avocado sushi my dadhad ordered.I sucked in a displeased breath where I sat. It angers me every time she tries to act so sweet nextto him when she is nothing but a dangerous pest that should be eliminated before it is too late.“Why don’t you come join us?” Dad invited me.With a shake of my head, I declined. “No, I am heading out to meet with Carl,” I said, headingtowards the door.“Amber would be arriving today. You don’t think you should be around when she arrives?” Kateinterjected.I bite down on my lips trying not to say something cold. Instead, I kept moving.My dad cleared his throat and I knew what would come out of his mouth next. “Kate is talking toyou.”“I heard her. Just chose not to respond.” I bit back, pushing the
Kate’s POVThe meeting room is already tense with Mark and Amber acting like they have the most to say.One can understand the condition of Mark. What seems confusing is Amber who is a meremanager of the welfare department. I had thought Mark would know better to give her a spacein his life once again.Because there is no way she would be allowed in here if one of us didn’t allow her. We arediscussing the plan of the new project which I am to oversee and she is here throwing her weightaround. She is barely two weeks in.They are divorced and were practically sworn enemies before Jake thought to step in. Where thissudden friendship erupted from amazes me. Just when you think you can’t be taken off guardanymore by Mark. He surprises you in the most unexpected me.“So I was thinking…..” Amber began.“Will you keep your mouth shut!” Marilyn interjected on my behalf. I
Kate’s POVMy head ached as I managed to sit up. Squinting my eyes in the dimmed room, I yawned slightly.It’s not morning yet, but a perfect time for a run. One glance at Jake and he looks peacefulsleeping. I got dressed and headed out for a run. I choose to not shift and stretch my legsinstead. My wolf isn’t fully awake yet either.Plugging in my earpods and started running. My thoughts rummaged on the project we areabout to delve into. I will be getting the budget approval tomorrow and I can’t wait to get startedwith it. This will launch me further and help strengthen my place in the Mccatty family. Eventhough Jake assures me that my place is secured.I do not want to be too relaxed to avoid stories that touch in the future. Having Jake feels like thegoddess's way of compensating me for all of the pains I was subjected to endure. I won’t backdown too. Just in case Mark decides to o
Mark’s POV “What is all this about Mark?” Kate barged into my office tossing the file in her hand at me. Shelooks livid and I feel so glad to see her in this state. I stared down at it with a reserved gaze. I have been expecting the outburst. It took her quite long. I sniffed, unfazed. “What do you mean?” “You bastard! You know exactly what you did. Why in the world is the budget for the project cut down so low?” She questioned. “I am not the financial officer. Why ask me such a question?” “Because I was told you would only append your signature if the budget was cut so low.” “Well, I am not going to deny saying it. What I do not understand is what you want from me.” She scoffed looking livid. “How far do you intend to go with this sour attitude? It is understandable if you do not like me. Do you have to drag your father’s business into it?” “Since when have you ever cared about my father’s business? You and I know
Kate’s POV“Has he lost his fucking mind?” I blurted while staring at the file in my hand. I just arrived back at the Red Pearl pack. Turns out the problem is a letter stating the company’s land ownership isn’t the Mccatty’s. Even though the company is in my name. Dame must have exerted himself pulling this trick. Lois exhaled loudly. “What do we do? This lawsuit he pulled will have the daily activities disturbed. Aren’t you supposed to go to him?”
Kate’s POV“Take a deep breath,” I mumbled to myself. The feeling of uneasiness settled on my tiny shoulder. I have been weighed down by the burden so much that I haven’t had a good sleep in days. I have tried really hard to reach Miguel and it seems he is hellbent on keeping his distance. Marilyn had to get involved by making sure I was on the list of people he would attend to despite his busy schedule today. However, I have been seated for over three hours watching everyone go in and out of his office. I plan to wait for another hour before leaving. He definitely has his mind made up. I have stayed out of the company for too long. Returning to work is essential. Just then the door opened and he stepped out. I stood up, trying to catch his gaze. “Alpha Miguel.” The words left my mouth like a whisper. He stared for a while before exhaling slowly. “Would you like to have lunch with me?” He asked. “Yeah….yeah, I would like that,” I replied hastily. He did a snorty laugh and heade
Mark’s POVMy wolf yawned alongside me with exhaustion as I stumbled out of the car still feeling drunk. Carl on the other hand looked quite alert. We had ordered a designated driver to avoid bumping right into a truck. We partied until this morning and aside from being sleepy, food feels like the most needed option right now. “I will make some toast for us to eat.” Carl mused stumbling towards the kitchen. My hand roamed aimlessly to find the switch, just as I put it on I let out a yell and my eyes became clearer when a vase shattered behind me as it touched the wall. Carl let out a string of curses. Our eyes landed on the assailant and I almost lost it. “Rayna, are you crazy?” I bellowed. “What the hell?” Carl mused as he stomped off to his room. She flared her nose, folding her arms like she didn’t just make a mess. “Where the hell have you been since yesterday?” Clenching my fist, I moved close to her growling. “And who the fuck do you think you are to question me? Do you kn
Mark’s POV“You might break that phone in two if you keep staring at it like that,” Carl said as he motioned towards the bartender to refill our glasses. “What’s wrong? You have been gloomy all morning.” Ruffling my hair, I exhaled. My wolf must be exhausted at this point. “Kate. She hasn’t been taking my calls. That lady can hold a grudge for days. You would think she would let it all go by now.” He mouthed a thank you to the attendant before responding to me. “Well, we all respond to situations differently. She needs her time away from you an
Kate’s POVI am not crying! I shouldn’t be crying! It’s not like I am that into him. He can go to hell for all I care. But why does it hurt so much? Why? The image of Miguel’s distasteful glare kept haunting me. The only person who stared at me with that much detest was Mark. It’s almost as if there is nothing I can say to change the way he thinks about me. And that truly hurts. “Cry baby, how long have you been here?” Karen asked, sitting next to me. “Will you like some?” She showed me the bottle of wine in her hand. “No, thank you.” I sniffed, wrapping my arms around myself. “Do you care to tell me what is going on with you? I have been a mess and we didn’t get the chance to talk about you.” “I am glad you know how much of a horrible friend you are.” She chuckled. “Guilty as charged. How did your visit to Miguel go?” “Awful. I have never seen him act like that. It felt like he didn’t even care about me anymore and just wanted me out of his sight.” “I guess I would feel the s
Author’s POV“How long do you intend to keep hiding there?” Marilyn asked from the other end of the line. Miguel rolled his eyes at the phone screen before returning his attention to the file in his hand. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” She made a snorty sound. “I am sure you do. Anyway, this call is to inform you of what I did. Kate is on her way to see you.” His eyes bulged out in shock at the news. “What? How is that possible?&r
Kate’s POV“Why the hell is his line unreachable?” I gritted, pushing the phone aside. A low growl escaped my lips as I glared hard at the phone screen hoping for a tiny second I would get a call or text from him. Sighing, I turned to my almost-cold coffee. It is not a surprise that Karen is still sound asleep. Last night, she was quite hysterical, got drunk, and yapped on and on unnecessarily. I had no other choice but to just sit and listen until she collapsed into a deep slumber. I felt bad for her because I know firsthand what it feels like to be on a different side with one's pare
Kate’s POVAs soon as my feet touched the ground, the comforting smell hit me. Home! This is what it feels like being in a place that makes you safe and you get to be yourself. Tears laced my eyes as I stared intensely at the house. For a moment I wished Jake would hurry out of it and pull at my cheek to tell me he was pulling my legs all along. I could never really get over his death. The large fields remind me of the times we would just run around in our wolf form throwing jabs at each other. He completed me and never asked too much from me. “You are here now, stop thinking of what should
Mark’s POV“My man!” Carl bellowed as he hurried towards me. I laughed heartily, pulling him into an embrace. “Damn, Carl! How long has it been?” He cackled, “ages! Thanks for picking me up man.” “Please don’t embarrass me. That is what friends are for.” His eyes washed over me. “You seem so different. Redmoon pack seems t
