Kate’s POV

Nothing interested my eyes, my bones ache for a massage and my limbs just want to rest. It’s

been two days since that doomed meeting with the board and having strange people lie against

me. Since Jake instructed that I continue with the project, I have been keeping late nights just to

find 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 has

been returning to the room quite late. I wake up to find the other bed empty and he is always

nowhere to be found. He isn’t at the company either. Whenever I call, it goes directly to

voicemail. 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 work

earlier than expected. I can do whatever I need to do from home. The maids all mumbled a

greeting and I replied with a grunt. I settled myself on the couch and pro

    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.

    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 POVI watched as she came undone from orgasm. A slight smirk pulled at my lips making my wolf andI feel proud. Body fluid smell filled up the four corners of the office. Standing up, I adjusted mytrousers and headed to the washroom to get my hands cleaned up. By the time I returned, shewas fully clothed.I sniffed returning to my chair. “Are you sure about this information?” I questioned staring downat the image in disbelief.She snorts. “Do you think I would ever lie to you? I have no reason to do so. Take it from me, youwon’t get this apt information from anyone else as it is kept away from the public. I wasn’t sureof what use it would be for you. Still, I just had to bring it, just in case you really do need it.”“That is very thoughtful of you,” I said, reaching for my phone to make a transaction. “I just sentyou some money.

And then they are just talking and looking through the files infront of them like I have not been summoned and my presence doesn’t count.My wolf is getting just as impatient as I am. I tapped my feet anxiously on the hard floor stillwaiting and hoping they do see me. I glanced around the board room trying to focus onsomething that might catch my interest in the bland room. It is all the same, white walls brownwoods, and bald-headed old wolves. Few do have hairs that I hope fall off soon.I pinched my knee, looking to my side and wishing Marilyn would appear. I need someone toassure me it will be fine and that I won’t end up losing my mind.The board had called to make a decision as regards the fraud accusation. I was quite sure theywouldn’t find anything against me

    Kate’s POVJake and I exchanged a look at Marilyn’s announcement. She showed us the information she hadto share and I didn’t know when I cursed out. This is really getting lame.“How did this even get out?” I asked feeling drained even though the day was barely halfway.Marilyn said. “I was just as shocked as you when this came out. Before I came here I alreadyasked our media team to tackle it.”Jake growled angrily as he ruffled his thinning hair. “I am not going to play nice with whoever isbehind this. They are going to regret dragging my family name in the mud.” He gritted standingup abruptly.He was practically fuming and his wolf tried to rear its head. I thought I had seen him act angrybefore. This time around he is quite livid.“Where are you going, Jake?” I questioned standing up to meet him.He placed a shaky hand on my shoulder. “You stay

The fool didn’t even wait for everything to cool off beforerunning to me.“Cat got your tongue?” Kate sneered at me.“Ma’am please, it is not what you think. I beg you.” Bethel pleaded she already had tears in hereyes. “Say something.” She tugged at my arm.I yanked it off pushing her to the side. “What is all of this nonsense? Why are you invading myprivacy?” I questioned.Kate scoffed, she looked livid as she took a closer step towards me. “If I wasn’t so concernedabout what the media would say about me stomping on your groin. I would have done that rightnow. How low do you intend to go? If you have a problem with me, come to my fucking face tosay it, and stop using minions like her who are baffled by yo

    Kate’s POV“I am going to disown him,” Jake swore as he ruffled through the drawer with shaky hands. Hiswolf kept growling underneath.“There is no need to go that far,” I mumbled behind him.He let out a light gasp. “Of course, there is every need to go that far. I don’t know who he isanymore. Drives me crazy to even think about it.” He turned to me and exhaled. “Aren’t youtired Kate? If he keeps this up when I am well and alive, do you know how far he would go next?”I reached for his hand. “Still doesn’t mean that the family has to be torn apart. You knew thiswould happen when you allowed Amber back into the house.”His face fell, “No, he is grown. Shouldn’t be influenced by just anyone.”“Not when there is a person like Amber. Trust me, you won’t know when you end up doing asshe desires. But that does not take away the fact that Mark….” I inhaled and exhaled. “….isgetting on my last nerve. And I know he is your son, but sometimes I want to snap his head out.”He chuckled. “H

    Mark’s POVMy legs moved faster than my thoughts did as I pulled Davina further into the office. She had fresh bruises on her face and bandage around her head and arm. “What happened to you? Why are you in this state? Did you get into an accident?” I asked, staring in disbelief. “I….” She was about to talk when I remembered my manners and guided her towards the couch. Snatching a sealed bottle of water off the table and opening it for her to drink. The damage on her face looked like a personal hit. Davina coughed out a little, prompting me to caress her back slightly. “It’s okay, sorry. You will be fine. Just take your time.” I mumbled.We sat in silence for a while before she broke out into tears, which got me worried. The fear of her face tearing apart further because of the tears.“I am sorry, Mark.” She sobbed. I furrowed my brows in confusion. “You are sorry? For what? Why would you be sorry to me when you are the one in this state?” She sniffled, wiping off the tears. “Som

I can sense her frustration, but I need and deserve an explanation too. “Mark, please. Just hear me out. As I mentioned before, he is a business associate. We joined hands on the current project the company is working on. We went on friendly outings and he expressed himself to me which I turned down. But he is quite persistent and insists on doing what it takes to make me his.” &ldqu

We had visited Lois cafe to try out the new beer he was adding to his menu. It turned out to be of great taste since it was free, Karen and I like greedy dwarfs almost choked on it. Was it fun? Yes. Would I go again if there is a chance? Yes. Life is fun when you keep pushing yourself to your death. But my wolf didn’t seem to agree with that as I opened up my mouth and poured out the remaining content in my belly into the dry leaves. I cursed at the awful taste at the back of my tongue. Feeling lightheaded I quickly heade

Why are you so hyped?” I questioned, sniffing. She put her phone to my face. “Check this out!” It felt like fog on my face, I had to push the phone backward, scratch my eyes, and eventually make my eyes bigger before I got a clear view of it. A loud gasp escaped my mouth causing Karen to stagg

    Mark’s POV“Hey Mark!” Davina cooed from the other end into the receiver. I jumped past a fallen tree panting heavily. “Hi, Davina. How are you today?” “I am fine. Oh, are you running right now?” She asked the obvious. Isn’t my panting enough to tell that is the case?“Yes, wanted to get my steps in for the night.”“That is nice. I wanted to thank you again for the other day.” “You don’t have to keep doing that Davina. We are friends after all. How is the house hunting?” My question seemed to excite her as the words took another turn. “I found an amazing house penthouse today. It’s incredible. The view is lovely.” “A penthouse? Isn’t that on the high side?” I asked halting in my steps. “Not really. This one is actually really cheap goes for about ten thousand a month so I paid for two years.” “Hmmn, that’s nice..” She raised her tone up a notch again. “It really is. Imagine the number of pictures I would get to take to style my clients.” “But two years locked down rent payme

    Kate’s POV“I am so exhausted!” Bianca whined throwing herself onto the couch. I chuckled, chewing on popcorn “Sorry, Karen has almost worked you thin.” She raised herself to look at me. “I have no idea how she does it always so determined to expend herself on a job. I wish I had half of her strength.” I smiled glancing at Karen who seemed to be so engrossed with the dress she was working on. I have seen just how much work she puts in and one can tell it

    Mark’s POV“Are you sure that isn’t too much money?” My wolf asked as I wrote the check. I stared at the amount again and pouted. “No, I think it is just enough. I can afford it. So it is only right that I give it as much as I can. This will help her get started as she wants. She will never have to think about how to survive anymore instead it will be more about the many things she can now indulge in to make things better for herself.” He went quiet and that made me unsettled a little bit. It is just half a million dollars. It wouldn’t even feel like I took such an amount from my account. This shouldn’t be considered too much from someone like me. I just hope she won’t think it is too small. “Yo, my man!” Carl busted into the study like the noisemaker that he is. I rubbed my forehead, regretting the decision to go out with him. I should have requested that we head out in separate cars. Miguel is hosting a ball, which is a usual event at the packhouse every year. I never used to at

    Kate’s POV“Do you think Charles might be in love with you?” My wolf asked.I stirred my coffee, looking out the window with swollen eyes I shrugged because I was really not aware of anything much going on with him. If he is in love with me that means trouble, what am I supposed to do with the affection? I already have enough from Mark. This wasn’t what I intended. Having Charles's father come beg me for his son seems ridiculous to me. They should have just left me to myself and accepted that things weren’t going to ever work out between us.I sighed heavily staring down at the now cold coffee. Is this what Karen and Lois meant when they said I would be stuck in a pool? Because it does feel like a pool. I couldn’t sleep a wink last night after Donald came to visit me at the office. It was more draining that I couldn’t talk about it to Karen just yet. She being the crazy girl would laugh at me and leave my soul hanging. I do not know how long it would take for things to die down.Right

    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.
