My 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 oRelated chapters

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.
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 38
Kate’s POV“Do you have anything to prove to us that it isn’t true?” Another board member asked.Something seemed to have gotten stuck in my throat. The file had a report of the budget spenton all of the projects that I have handled in the last two years. The approved board budget wasthere and the amounts were disbursed. On the second page is the money I am accused ofhoarding for myself.“Now that you have seen it, is there something you have to say to defend yourself?” Markinterjected. “Because the field workers are here to defend themselves against your tyrannicalact.”The walls suddenly seemed like it was closing up on me. My breathing was uneven, and everyonehad a mocking expression. I can hear their laughter in my head even though their faces remainedplain. It took me back all over again i can see their phones being held up to capture myembarrassing moments.
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 39
Mark’s POVThe room swirled under my feet, pushing me to grab the edge of the table to keep myself steady.My wolf felt restless, I wish I could let myself go and just put a bit of disruption into thecompany. How? How the fuck did Kate slip away this time? What exactly is it that she has on myfather to make him so in tune with her?It can’t be the red hair! Even though it does burn like a cooling fire and can make anyone lost init. It still doesn’t matter. There is a reason he is a bloody old wolf. He is meant to understand lifebeyond its physicality.I growled in discomfort as pain struck the side of my head. My breathing is tangled with difficultyand I just can’t seem to get a grip on myself. The legs wobbled causing me to stagger towards thechairs and fall to the ground.“You are just fooling yourself! Stop lying to yourself!” The voice in my head kept echoing in ataunting tone.
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 40
Kate’s POVNothing interested my eyes, my bones ache for a massage and my limbs just want to rest. It’sbeen two days since that doomed meeting with the board and having strange people lie againstme. Since Jake instructed that I continue with the project, I have been keeping late nights just tofind a way out of the disaster lying in wait for me.As for Jake, he seems to want nothing to do with me lately. He is obviously avoiding me and hasbeen returning to the room quite late. I wake up to find the other bed empty and he is alwaysnowhere to be found. He isn’t at the company either. Whenever I call, it goes directly tovoicemail. He is quite determined.But today, I do not intend to back down. I will wait until he is back. Which is why I left workearlier than expected. I can do whatever I need to do from home. The maids all mumbled agreeting and I replied with a grunt. I settled myself on the couch and pro
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 41
Kate’s POV“Are you sure this is good enough?” I questioned Bethel while staring the proposal down.She beamed proudly. “I worked on it all through the night. It is definitely good.”I tugged at my hair. She didn’t get the sarcasm. Sometimes I can’t help but think that she mightbe quite slow.I cleared my throat and sat up. “Bethel, my point is, this proposal will have me thrown out of theoffice in no time. This doesn’t cut it out. But you can do better. Why not check it again?” I urgedin a calm tone.Marilyn made her way in with a snort. “You knew she wouldn’t be able to get it right. Yet youhanded it to her.”“Please, Marilyn. A benefit of the doubt. Let her be.” I said, noticing Bethel’s crestfallen face. “Gorephrase it and let me see what you have. Remember that proposal on the new project? You canuse that as a re

Kate’s POVJake and Marilyn were laughing hard as I narrated my ordeal with Miguel.I stomped my feet glaring at them. “That is not funny.”“Why not?” Jake asked. “My dear, we expected it to happen. Why didn’t you?”“You are my husband for crying out loud. Why would you even say something like that?” Iwhined.“Tell her Marilyn.” He urged.Marilyn stared at me still grinning. “You are a beauty to behold. He would be a fool to not atleast try to get to you.”“I am married and he still asks me on a date.” I insisted.I just couldn’t believe the audacity of the Alpha. It had me in shock all through the ride that Ididn’t bother to return to work and went to meet Marilyn where she had joined Jake to play golf.As expected Jake didn’t look any surprised that I got asked out. My wolf seemed to be enjoyingthe ta
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 43
Kate’s POVWhen Alpha Miguel said he would make sure that I do not feel unsafe wherever we are to meet.I didn’t expect he would rent out an entire restaurant for us. This only makes me feel moreparanoid. His car had come to pick me up as promised and to avoid giving the maids somethingto gossip about. I met the driver halfway as soon as he informed me he was near.I blinked at the exquisite design of the space. Isn’t this too much for a mere date?“Why? Don’t tell me you aren’t used to things like this.” He cut into my train of thought.I coughed in shock. I didn’t realize I had spoken out loud. “It is not about what I am used to. It iswhat the people will end up saying.”Miguel shrugged. “I did this because you didn’t want to be seen in public. Would you havepreferred my manor?” There was a twinkle in his eyes.I rolled my eyes, refusing to let him get to me. I was about to ask what we might be eating whena group of waiters pushed towards us with trolleys of different delicacie

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
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 153
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
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 152
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
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 150
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
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 149
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
Her Revenge, His Regret Chapter 148
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
