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
Author’s POVCharles could sense the discomfort from Kate. One of his wolf abilities is being able to read past people’s expressions. The moment they stepped towards the table and he found Charlotte sitting regally he knew it was going to be a tough night. His mother knew clearly that he was bringing Kate to the house. After the misunderstanding, they had over Matilda’s unexpected harassment. He wanted to show her just how much she meant to him by bringing her to the midst of those who matter to him. However, his intentions seemed to have been ruined. Kate definitely felt the energy at the table. She barely touched her dessert and didn’t say much after the dinner and it was time to leave.“Would you like some more desserts to compliment the one you didn’t eat?” He asked trying to lighten the mood.Kate smiled tightly, shaking her head. “No. I am fine.”“How was dinner?”“Not bad.”Her responses were enough to tell him tonight was a disaster. It seems like everyone is out to ruin the
Kate’s POV“Kate, you still haven’t talked about the dinner you went to yesterday.” Karen reminded me as we sat on Lois' rooftop with Lois and Bianca chewing on chips and beer.I groaned inwardly. I expected she was going to eventually ask questions. But I hoped it would be just between us and not end up pulling Lois into it. He will bite my ear off now.I threw her a hard glare, scrunching up my nose. “Why are you always eager to throw me under the bus?” I questioned and she let her tongue out at me in response.“What are you two talking about?” Lois asked.Karen giggled, “Kate went with Charles yesterday to eat dinner with the family.”“Wow, Kate! You and Charles again.” He noted, taking a gulp of his beer.I pouted with an eye roll. “It’s not even that deep. I should have just stayed back home. That family is nothing to write home about. Oh my goodness, even if I was destined to be with Charles. I will take flight at the first association with the family. They are moving crazy.” I
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
Kate’s POV Charles sat still in front of me. His eyes followed every move of mine. At this point, I do not find whatever he is doing fanciful. His presence is suffocating the hell out of me. After the dinner saga, I was determined to forget about it. I bumped into Denise at a spa house. She had come with her friends and despite how old those witches were they still couldn’t hold themselves back from making snide comments about me. She didn’t even try to respect the fact that I was a friend of her son. It became clear to me the reason why she was so against me. She thinks I killed Jake and thought it ridiculous that someone of my age is allowed to run a multimillion-dollar company. She decided to put all of my hard work down and called me a pest. I didn’t expect a woman of such status would stoop that low to play that sort of game. I wanted to tell her exactly what I thought about her. Knowing she might end up committing suicide, I had to hold myself back. No one will remember what sh
Mark’s POV “This tastes so good, Marilyn.” I hummed, chewing on the creamy doughnut she made. Marilyn seemed to have tapped into her chef side now that she no longer works at the company and lives by herself. Always cooking something and bringing it to the house for us to eat. We are like the lab rats but I can’t even complain because every meal hits hard and the leftovers barely last the next day. Carl and I end up feasting on it in the middle of the night. Carl tsked at me. “You have the entire cream as a mustache.” “And you?” I pointed at the one on his nose and cheek. “How exactly do you chew?” Marilyn chuckled as she grabbed a tissue to help us wipe at the cream on our faces. She had a loving expression on her face as she stared at us. “It is so nice watching you boys eat my meals with so much gusto makes me want to do more.” “Please keep it up, mama. It’s how you never made us this much meal when you were here.” Carl commented. She smiled shyly and I came to her rescue. “T
Author’s POV Charles dialed Kate’s line again for the thirtieth time or more he had lost count. His wolf felt restless and he seemed to be losing his mind, nothing felt pleasing to him. He had tried to persuade her that everything was a misunderstanding, but she wouldn’t listen to him. Maybe this was becoming more like an obsession, but it was his present truth. No one gets him as Kate does. She helps him get over whatever trouble he might be facing without even knowing it. Kate sees him for him, not for what to just admire. He felt his headache as he tossed the phone next to him and refilled his already empty glass. Taking a long gulp, the look in her eyes when he went to meet her at the office flashed in his head. Kate looked distant like she was no longer there with him. How can he blame her? She was right about him being a puppet for his mother, always looking out to not hurt her with his words when she is clearly unbothered about whatever it is that becomes of him. He has nothi
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.
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
