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. But the game wouldn’t be fun without me playing around a little. I needed her to yearn for me, for all of her thoughts to be occupied with just me. Jay, my wolf had struggled desperately against me. If it were up to him, he would jump at her and lay claim. And that is never going to happen. However, I can’t seem to pass up on her innocence. She is my supposed mate after all. I should have her if I deem fit. And nothing will stop me. All I have to do is make her comfortable enough just so she can be on my every call until I get tired of her. Girls like her are easy to manipulate, she wouldn’t be too much trouble to get rid of either. I checked my wristwatch, she should be here any minute from now. Unless of course, I underestimated her thinking process. Inhaling deeply, I reached for my cigar and lighted it. A smirk settled on my face. Last night I had a hard on just remembering her face. It caused me to call one of the attractive maids that I fancied to suck the tension off me. I would die before having sex with a maid. The door to the study opened just as I puffed some thick smoke into the air. Lance, my Beta, and best friend, let himself in, showing off himself without even saying a word. “Dear, Alpha.” He drawled in an obvious taunting tone. “What do you want?” I retorted, showing disinterest. “So I heard you were doused with coffee yesterday. Why did you have to go that far to get coffee?” Lance queried. “That damn, Quadrick . He just can’t keep quiet. I didn’t realize there were rules to my movement.” I snorted. “Anyway, it was worth it. I am expecting a guest soon. Do not disturb.” I said, standing up to leave. “You can’t do that, Dame. You have a meeting this afternoon with the foreign investors. I had to come to the pack house to find you when you didn’t arrive at the office this morning.” I stared back at him blankly. Aside from being the Alpha of the Redmoon pack, I am also the CEO of Gruett Group of companies. However, none of the stress involved has prevented me from doing what I want. “Dame?” Lance called out again. “No. Tell them to go chill out at the pool or something. I will pay for whatever it is. Actually, keep them at the company's hotel, and let them have their fun. And I will have mine. We can all get back together after it all.” “A company is not run this way, Alpha Dame. You need to keep your priorities intact to avoid getting a bad reputation from the pack council.” I snorted, “Trust me, I can handle everything.” “You…..” His words were cut short by the entrance of a maid. She bowed quickly and announced. “Alpha, your guest has arrived.” I gave Lance a wink. “This is where we depart my friend. Have a good day.” I mused, making my way out of the study. “Where is she?” I asked the maid. “In your chambers, Alpha.” She replied. My steps hastened all of a sudden due to Jay’s excitement. I would have stopped him but curiosity gnawed at the back of my mind. On getting to the door, I inhaled deeply and held the doorknob for a few seconds. I don’t think anyone has ever gotten me this excited. It had better not be the damned mate bond. Our eyes met as soon as I entered and I could see the nervousness in her eyes. Kate stood up quickly. “Alpha Dame.” She muttered. My eyes roamed her curves. It clung onto the dress she wore, making my dick excited. This should be nice. Taking closer steps toward her, I caressed her smooth face. “I told you to just call me, Dame. Have you had lunch?” I asked, lowering my voice. Kate shook her head, holding my gaze. Her breathing was unsteady and I could smell her arousal. She is just as ready as I expect her to be. Without breaking the gaze, my hand caressed her exposed skin, she inhaled sharply and held onto her breath for a few seconds. That didn’t stop me. I grabbed her ass and it felt so soft, it wouldn’t be so bad to bite it. My dick hardened against my trousers like it would rip it apart if I hold back for too long. But I ignored it, taking my time. Kate stared at my lips hungrily, I could hear her heart beating. I satisfied her hunger, kissing her passionately. She moaned into my mouth, holding onto me like she feared she would fall. I guided her gently towards the bed, laying her down cautiously and ready to rip off her dress. She struggled against me when my hand touched her lingerie. “I…I don’t think we should do this.” She said in a coarse voice. I raised myself up a little and raised a brow. “Really? I thought we were mates. Do you hold back from your mate?” I was too desperate and horny to not play the card with her. Kate blinked innocently. “I want you. Why won’t I want you?” “You tell me,” I said, standing up and turning away from her to light a cigar. I know what will happen next, but it isn’t so bad to wait and see. Her gentle touch lingered on my back. “Please don’t turn away from me, Dame. I couldn’t stop thinking about you all through the night.” Taking my chance, I dumped the cigar and snatched her off the ground hungrily. She gasped in shock when I ripped out her lingerie roughly. My dick sprang out like a predator laying in wait. Pushing her to the bed, I turned her back to me, letting my dick find its way to her pussy. She let out a painful howl the minute I thrust into her. Her nails dug into the sheets and her tied hair came loose. Like a flame, it spread its fangs on my bed looking like a masterpiece with the white sheet. I didn’t concern myself with the painful moan she let out as I thrust deep into her again welcoming the warmth of her pussy that wrapped around my dick. She is so damn wet, it feels like she has been waiting for me all her life. In no time, she had adjusted to my length and took it all in like a pro. She moaned and wiggled underneath me while I kept thrusting until I let out a pleasured groan reaching my peak. Damn! She was worth the thought. I won’t mind keeping her around for a while, just until I have had enough. The minute I lay next to her, trying to catch my breath, I felt her body next to me, closer than expected. “That was so nice.” She uttered shyly. “My thighs hurt.” I sniffed and got up to get dressed. “You should get yourself cleaned up and leave. I have a meeting to attend.” “But I thought you wanted to spend the whole day with me.” “Do I look jobless to you?” I retorted coldly. “I am sure you have a job to get back to too. I will let you know when I need you. Don’t stay too long in here. You might get accused of stealing.” I said. Before she could get to question me again, I hurried out of the room. I can’t stand her.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
Kate’s POV“I must admit, you are quite a force to reckon with,” Judith said standing behind me while I got dressed to meet with Dame.I don’t know if to take her words as a compliment or just mind my business. I chose the latter.“How did you get to meet a wealthy mate and not just any but an Alpha? Did you indulge in some kind of sorcery?” She pressed on.I should have known this conversation would lead to nowhere. I stood up and nodded in satisfaction at my appearance. Dame had gotten the dress for me during one of his random gift sessions. It looks as classy enough as the women that flock to him. It's a miracle that someone like myself is regarded as his mate.Now that I am pregnant with his child, I can’t wait to see the look on his face. He told me about the dinner just in time when I was intending to spill the news. Since we were going to meet, I decided it would be a surprise.I had almost forgotten that Judith was still waiting for me to respond to her. I smiled tightly. “I d
Kate’s POV“No! No! This can’t be happening.” I mumbled repeatedly while leaning further into the wall to stay away from this strange man who called himself Jake“Calm down.” He said again. “I am not here to hurt you, I just wanted us to talk.”But I didn’t quiet down, even though I was feeling dazed and my heart thumped rapidly. There is no way I am married to him. It took me a while for my memories to return. He looks older than I would imagine. He is probably nearing his deathbed. I can’t do this. This can’t be happening to me.Where is my damn mate when I need him? I cursed under my breath at the painful tug that pulled at my chest. My state of mind had ridden me of some memories, but that didn’t stop my heart from remembering. My wolf isn’t responding either. She must be devastated by the rejection.My noise seemed to have drawn the nurses and doctor in. Like a banshee, I kept on with the scream determined to get rid of him or anyone else planning to take me away forcefully.“Mis
Dame’s POVLance stormed into the office with Quadrick peeping behind him like a coward.“What the hell is this, Alpha Dame?” Lance gritted, tossing a tablet at me. “Why exactly are you in the tabloids?”I rubbed at my aching forehead slowly. I have had a wild couple of days and the last thing I need is anyone yelling at me. Especially now that my wolf has refused to align with me.“Don’t forget your place, Lance. Stop yelling at me. And shouldn’t Quadrick be the one to answer the question of why I am in the tabloids?” I retorted.Quadrick finally stepped out of his hiding place and tapped on the tablet. The video playing was the one from the rejection party I had held on behalf of Kate. I had totally forgotten about it.“Oh. I didn’t realize it would get out so quickly. So what’s trending? Me? That’s impressive.” I grinned.Lance didn’t look any pleased with my response. “You can go back to your desk, Quadrick.” He instructed, before turning back to me. “Tell me something, what kind
Kate’s POVThe room felt unfamiliar as I stepped into it. I was quite taken aback when I got discharged from the hospital and the car brought me to my father’s house. Since Judith is so hellbent to get rid of me, I expected to be dragged down to the damned place that will be my new house.My body is weak and my heart is in a wreck. Sadness dangles over my entire being and all I can see is darkness. Not the video of my rejection making rounds. After I passed out in the hospital lobby and got revived, I plotted my escape. I had tried to run many times, but my wolf was too weak to carry me. Shame and ache made my legs weak, I wasn’t prepared for the situation life had thrown me into.Like a sack, I dumped myself into the bed staring blankly at the old ceiling with tears rolling down the side of my face. I can’t keep living this way. The Red Moon pack is too close-knit for such a scandal. There is no way my life would continue smoothly without me being reminded of my past.Everywhere I tu
Kate’s POVJust like before, my treacherous wolf collapsed before I could make it to the mouth of the woods. Not me being against myself. My body and wolf are so weak, it might take a month or two to heal properly. Marilyn caught up with me and held me down. The tears had me blinded for a second. I just want to disappear from the face of the earth and never have to experience this pain anymore.“You bitch!” Judith growled, putting her hand on my face.The slap stung my cheek like tons of needles were in it. I don’t think my face has ever been this assaulted in a span of one hour.“How many times have I told you there is no running away from this? Why are you being such a fool?” She kept rambling, raising her leg in an attempt to kick me.Marilyn stood up to her this time. “That’s enough, ma’am. You can see she isn’t in the best state of mind. Also, Mr Mccatty would not appreciate your attack on his woman. She is no longer yours to talk to whichever way you choose. I will take her in a
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
Jean’s POVThe cold breeze hit my exposed skin jolting me back to life. My lashes fluttered as I tried to make sense of my environment. Those stupid maids had forgotten to shut the windows. Do they not know cold isn’t right for a pregnant lady? They are all so foolish. Sucking my teeth, I got off the bed, changing into something that would keep the cold away. My throat felt dry, I glanced at the water jar and shook my head. A glass of warm milk would be better. Picking up the phone, I dialed the headmaid. She picked on the second ring. “Sleepyhead! How long do I have to be on the line
Kate’s POVThe office has been my safe space in the last few days. Leaving the house early became a sudden habit. My last encounter with Mark didn’t exactly make me proud of myself. I had spoken out of turn and acted desperate. Maybe what I really need is good sex and the fog will go flying. As Karen would say, no orgasm for so long can lead to one acting like a maniac for just about anything. I have had random kisses, yet I had to hold onto Mark’s like it was heaven. That must be why he couldn’t understand my insistence on the kiss. I do not like it here. The door opened abruptl
Kate’s POVNo one was in the house when I arrived. The first thing I did was let out a loud sigh of relief. Driving back home had been a mental task. I tried not to overthink my reaction. Lois had sided with Karen insisting I return home and stop running from every problem I encounter. After sitting for a long time in the room yielding nothing but lazy fat. Running in the woods seemed like the best option. My wolf howled in excitement as soon as she felt the grass. Trying not to think about anything, I ran as fast as my legs could carry letting the evening air calm me. Thoughts of the day returned for me to rummage on. I erased anything that had to do with Dame, he doesn’t deserve the space in my head. At the same time, I can’t help but feel some type of way concerning his acceptance of the new position without blowing the roof off. “He knows there is nothing else he can do right now. Which I think is smart that he has accepted his fate.” My wolf mused.I grunted in agreement. That
