Kate’s POV
My 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“This is bullshit!” I cursed, not minding the fact that I was in the office.Marilyn had a sorry look in her eyes as she held my gaze. “I know this must be a lot for you. I amso sorry.”I scoffed. “Why should you be sorry? You didn’t put me in this position unless, of course, you areworking with Mark against me.”My words were supposed to offend her, but instead, she took it in good strides and only noddedslightly.“I don’t need to pledge to you for the sake of your ego. I don’t play petty.” She replied.With my head bowed, I sighed. “I am sorry. I am just so overwhelmed.”“There would be no need for it if you would just tell Jake about all of this.”“And to what extent? How long do I have to keep running to him? Mark challenged me and I amgoing to do all that it takes to achieve this project no matter what.
Kate’s POVLois yawned like he had plans to rip my head off. I gave him a disinterested look, “can you stop doing that? 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
Kate’s POVMy soul left my body for real as the pain sizzled through my scalp the first thing that came to my thoughts was that I was finally getting caught by one of Charles's women. 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
