Mark’s POV
“Man, I want to visit the Redmoon pack over and over again if I can.” Carl blurted, throwing himself onto the couch.
I shook my head, taking a loud gulp of the yogurt in my hand. “You and Karen should be sued for acting crazy. I almost died in the hands of shots.”
He laughed unapologetically. “Trust me, none of you will forget the birthday celebration in a hurry. It was nice to see you all loosen up. I want that part of life again.”
“You
Kate’s POV“Does that crazy Alpha have a death wish of some sort?” Karen asked while flipping eggs in a pan. I massaged the side of my hair gently. My state of mind hasn’t been at peace all through this week just because that stupid Dame returned. He is after my fucking life. He has been engaging in different side talks to mess with my head. Can’t even start to explain the rigorous sets of meetings he has put Lois through because of the mistake he made in signing off a contract that hasn’t been scrutinized by the team. He is intentionally toying with my daily routine and I would love to murder him. “Believe me, Karen. I want to wipe his stupid face off the face of the earth. But I wouldn’t even get away with it because he is the Alpha. Even though they hate him so much, they still have to respect the position he holds and to me, that is fucked up.” I mused. “Are his shares that huge in the company? Can’t you just leave him dry on the dessert and sign him out?” She inquired passing
Kate’s POVI glanced at Karen with a confused expression on my face. Is this some sort of a prank call? “What did you just say?” I queried. “I know this might come as a surprise and I promise that I have an explanation for everything. Just come out.” Charles said. “What is it?” Karen asked with a concerned expression on her face. I put my hand to the speaker and mouthed. “I think I just found myself a stalker.” “What!” She blurted. I gestured that I would tell her about it later. “Charles this is insane! I do not appreciate anyone invading my privacy without consent. Why would be at my house at this time of the day? Also, I do not remember giving you an address.” “I had to find my way somehow. You wouldn’t respond to me. Please just come outside.” Charles mumbled. I groaned and ended the call. Karen’s teary face already seemed brighter. She is such a nosy girl. “Talk to me. What is going in outside?” She asked. “Charles.” She gasped in disbelief. “I thought you didn’t give y
Mark’s POVThe words in the document were beginning to look foreign. I pressed a palm against my forehead really hard to keep the dizziness down. “You should take a break.” My wolf urged. I tossed the pen to the table immediately and leaned into the chair like that was the go-ahead I needed. It’s been hours of reviewing documents and my assistant looks like he could bail. I wouldn’t blame the guy. He has been through so much within a short time. It isn’t my intention to stress him, we just have so much to do. “How about you go home? I will round up from here and leave.” I suggested. He jolted off the couch he was on. Definitely dozing off. “S..sir? I am so sorry. What did you say?” A light chuckle escaped my lips. “I said it’s okay to go home. No questions asked, just go.” He gave a stuttering thank you and scurried out. I waited for a moment to finish before picking up my phone to scroll through. There isn’t much to do at home at the moment, the painting I am working on is almo
Mark’s POVThe ice had melted in the whiskey causing it to be a bit watery. It amuses me how the ice could aid the whiskey to taste better and also bring it down to nothing. Many others might enjoy it, but I see it as pure torture. There is nothing inspiring in the taste. So rather than pour the rest down my throat, I toss it out and pour a new one. It’s exactly the notion I have towards people. It is okay when they want to be extra with their attitudes. Care nothing about other people’s feelings and act stupid at every given chance. The only thing I wait for is when their taste is subdued. Then I swoop in. No offense to anyone, I just got tired. Carl on the other hand wouldn’t want to d
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 POV“This is too much.” My wolf groaned. I held onto my head for a while before hitting it against the steering wheel. I am never going to engage Karen in any sort of social activities. When they said the party was still going to be raised a notch, I didn’t think it was going to be so wild. She and Carl are the worst party planners ever. They had strippers over and between me trying to shield Mark’s eyes from the sexy asses and enjoying the party. I got too drunk. Mark had to leave today because of a commissioned job he needed to start. So was Carl, they both had wor
Kate’s POVMy wolf almost passed out during the last leg of my run. It took my breath away. Woke up feeling quite uneasy and I thought the best way to make me more active for the day was to run. However, it turned out to be the opposite for me. My body aches so bad. It’s different thoughts coming together, I can’t seem to just deal with one. Charles appears to have gone deaf when it comes to listening. Despite how I told him off the last time we spoke. He still hasn’t given up. Now this is stressing me the hell out, I had to keep my phone away to avoid unnecessary questions from flying. Mark will be leaving tomorrow. I miss him already. And I am more frustrated that I still don’t h
Kate’s POVMy eyes darted to my ringing phone while I kept the glass of juice close to my lips. “Aren’t you going to answer that?” My wolf queried. I snickered, putting the glass down. The caller is Charles and he has been at it all day long, stressing the hell out of me. I glanced briefly at Mark in the living room yapping about something I was not quite interested in with Lois and Carl. I am enjoying this peaceful moment that I get to spend with Mark. Would hate for it to be ruined because of a misunderstanding. At the same time, I have nothing against Charles. Not answering his call will only lead to a lot of questions. It won’t be a surprise if he shows up here to ask why I haven’t been answering his calls. He is like that. “That phone will blow up if you don’t respond to it,” Marilyn noted in a low tone. Karen giggled next to me. “It’s her other lover. She doesn’t want to upset the main guy around.” I cut her a side glare. “Shut up, Karen.” Her mother cackled. “Is that so,
Mark’s POVA light yawn escaped my lips as I stared at the incoming call on my phone from an art client. I whispered in Kate’s ear that I was coming. Excusing myself from the excited group talking over one another, I stepped out to the back of the house to take the call. “Hello, sir. How are you doing?” I greeted the client. Omega Ben is my most returning client who just seems to enjoy everything that comes from me. He engages me in commissions like never before. I can’t complain because I enjoy every project he hands over to me. Hearing his excited voice bubble through the
