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 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 POVEarly mornings at the coffee shop are the worst. They put me on the edge. You would think the entire members of the Redmoon pack can’t stay awake and need something to get by. It would have been better if the customers were the only ones I had to deal with. But my supervisor and boss, Martin, is a rogue and devil incarnate. Despite the pressure already mounting, he watches every one of us like a hawk and ends up making my already conscious self, extra conscious.“One Cappuccino and creamy doughnut please. Make it quick,” A customer hollered from one of the tables.I did an inward growl compliment of my wolf but maintained a relaxed posture. Some customers do know not when their waitresses or attendants are on a hot seat. I just served a table of five and almost mixed up their orders.Due to the number of people around and to avoid a possible stampede, we ask the customers to sit and not be in the queue while I go to write down.“Order for table twelve,” I said to Lois at t
Dame’s POV“Mate?”I scoffed at the thought of it. Why would I want to have a mate? It has never been something that I consider. Never been the type to want just one woman when there are tons of them dying to have my dick thrusting into them. When the mate bond pulled me close to Kate, I almost couldn’t believe it. I was on the verge of giving in before calling myself to order. Not happening on my watch.Even if I want a mate, it wouldn’t be someone who is so low in class. A waitress? Such a joke.But damn, Kate is breathtaking to look at. Anyone with such a flawless look should be confined as a criminal. Natural red hair! A perfect turn-on. That is something that I haven’t really come across in all of my escapades. Her oblong face matches perfectly with the hair on her head, and those green eyes amuse me with the fierceness inside them. I want to kiss those lips until the flesh no longer feels like it.My dick thumped at the thought. I had wanted her right there in that stuffy office
Kate’s POV“Will you stop staring at that phone!” Lois rebuked.I blinked softly, holding up a weak smile. “Why are you so jealous?” I teased.“I would have sworn you would never be found in this situation with the way you always dismiss anyone who shows interest in you.”I shrugged. “You can’t blame me. I am fated to be with this one.”He gave me a sorry look. “You are such a lover girl. From your words, you two spoke this morning. Why are you still expecting his call? You don’t even talk to your dad whom you have known for so long. And it's not even up to two months you met your mate.”“You said it yourself. He is my mate. You should know I will always yearn for him.”“If that is the case, I don’t think I want one. He is so obsessed that he calls you out at the oddest hours. You two should suck it up and get married already.” He snickered.I smiled tightly, picking up my drink, and burying my red face in it to avoid being noticed. It's been over a month since I and Dame became an it
Kate’s POVI am so sorry for your loss.” Nicole, our aging neighbor whispered next to me before walking away with her support cane making a thud along.The noise appears to be distracting me. I can’t seem to focus on my thoughts. Despite the space, it still seems suffocating. I need all of these people out of here to be sure I am not having a bad dream. Nightmares can be so surreal and scary. This is probably one of them. I need someone to bring me back to reality.I spoke too soon. A spiteful shove had me almost falling on my face. I turned around to see my stepsister, Jean pushing a basket of bedsheets in my face.“Mum says if you won’t be of any other use, you should get the laundry out before the service begins.” She didn't wait for me to respond before dumping it at my feet.I swallowed hard and lifted the basket with conflicted emotions. My wolf protested within me. But I feel too weak to contest anything. Stepping outside the house, my eyes caught sight of my reality. My father
Kate’s POVJudith’s words rang in my ear and it made me shiver, causing my fur to stand. I raced past the trees in the woods and it made me feel bad for causing the greens dizziness.Why in the world do I have to be the one to be married off? If this so-called man is so wealthy enough to clear our debts why didn’t she just marry Jean off to him? At least they can freely leech off him without feeling guilty.Tears laced my eyes heavily again. I have been crying nonstop, confused about where to begin. Judith might be a witch and Jean a devil, they are still the only family I have. And that house is more of mine than it is theirs.It is my late father’s legacy. What kind of daughter would I be if I could not keep it? I inhaled deeply, feeling the air caught in my lungs. My wolf appears exhausted from the endless run. I have been doing too much of that lately. Sighing in resolve, I headed back to the house to call Lois. He is the only one that I can talk to in a moment like this.As soon

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“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
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
