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 reKate’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
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. Enjoy yourself this weekend
Kate’s POVThe murmurs between them are driving me to the edge. I am seated here like a lost zombie notknowing what to do with myself. 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
Mark’s POVI cursed under my breath when I saw Kate and Marilyn. How did I let myself get played intoworking with someone like Bethel? 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
Kate’s POVThe last two weeks have been nothing short of draining for the entire family. Mark’s accidentwasn’t any minor. He has been in a coma and the doctor assures him that he would be awake.His wolf isn’t responding to any link. Alongside his consciousness, his mind portal has also beenblocked.I can’t imagine the turmoil going on in Jake’s mind. Yet he flows through every day like he iscertain everything will be fine. I on the other hand can’t help but be worried about Mark. Oddly Imiss him nagging me every time. I feel bad for coming to work and acting like everything is fine.But I make it a point of duty to visit him at the hospital and spend some hours with him. Eventhough he wouldn’t remember when he woke up.Jake is against my going and insists that I let the hired caregiver do her job. It is not so easyletting him be. He is still my family, enemies or not. As for
Kate’s POVA Year and a Half LaterMy fingers sank into his bare back as he plunged into me. I could almost taste him at the tip of my tongue. His strong plan raised my ass cheek enabling him to thrust deeper. Mark grunted in pleasure as I wrapped my legs around his waist urging him to take all of me. His thrust was fast and hard. I was almost out of breath. I moaned loudly at each thrust. Our arousals lay thick in the air. A satisfied scream escaped my lips as he hit me hard and my entire body came undone like a surge of electricity just moved through me. Mark increased his pace and let out a loud groan, nutting inside me before he collapsed next to me panting slowly. I chuckled, caressing his chest with my finger.“How was it?” I asked, kissing his sweaty forehead.He turned to me, smacking my ass. “Magical as always.”“Is that so?” I teased.He smacked me again, his eyes smiling. “Stop being such a tease.”“I love to know that I got you good.” I grinned, causing him to cackle. “
Kate’s POVMy wolf paw thawed through the wet grass. I ran like my life depended on it. Hoping my worries will float away with the wind. My heart thumped really hard like it might leap out of its cage. Thinking through the last conversation i had with Mark which was a month ago. My head feels like it would explode. How he was able to say things like that to me without feeling awful, is so painful.“Stop thinking over it. You will keep hurting yourself.” My wolf said.I halted all of a sudden, falling to the ground helplessly. The tears that I had held back for so long rolled down my face uncontrollably. I wish I could just disappear to somewhere unknown and forget about all these troubles I have gotten into. From the look of things, finding true love might not be a part of my fate. I might be doomed to live by myself with no one to love me right. Learning to be happy with myself seems like the best thing I can do to get out of this. The thoughts are drowning me. Heartbreaks are quite
Mark’s POVI can feel their judgmental eyes on me. I clenched and unclenched my fist hating how she chose to ignore me instead of addressing the accusation. Seeing her today is a mix of emotions. Kate drives me to the edge. I wanted to sweep her off the ground, seeing how exhausted she is. At the same time, i wanted to question her for causing our relationship to hit the rocks. But i did none of that and allowed my anger to take charge.Barrister Alan walked up to me, putting a hand on my shoulder. “Mark, son, I don’t know what just happened. I just hope you will resolve it soon. You know in your depth that they do not make she-wolves like Kate anymore. Make sure your anger is justified.” He made a grunt and excused himself.I sat down, pulling at the root of my hair. I expected Carl to say something, instead, he walked away not sparing me a glance. Lately, he has been quiet. I can’t tell what is going on in his head. I felt a part of my headache. Tears pricked my eyes painfully. I di
Kate’s POV“I wish I didn’t have to come here,” Kate whined to Karen as they got out of the car.The barrister had sent consistent reminders and put calls through to make sure she doesn’t forget how important her presence is. If she had other ways, she would have stayed back. Seeing Mark so soon after their last discussion, has her feeling on the edge.Karen wrapped her arm around me. “You will do just fine, Kate. Don’t let yourself be bothered.”I didn’t say anything as my thoughts kept jumping. My wolf also tried to make me feel calm but I just can’t ignore the anxiety. Does he miss me? Has he been as miserable as I am since things went sour? I wish things would work out between us. I am even willing to look over his cheating. All I want is for us to be back together. But I guess that might not work out as I desire.Alan had asked that we meet at the house. I really wish he would have made it his office. That might ease any form of awkwardness. But I could lean into Karen’s presence
Kate’s POVMy body felt cold when I eventually found the strength to get off the floor. The blood in my limbs must have dried up considering how heavy they were. I went into the bathroom and sat in the bathtub while the water filled up around me. What a day! I don’t think I was this drained and lost when my father died and Dame made me a laughing stock. I crumbled then, but this time it was pure hell. The tears I shed ripped my insides to shreds at every heave. I just couldn’t hold back. Everything I loved was crumbling right in from of me. I guess anyone in my shoes would have felt the same.On second thought, I feel like I deserve it. My greed is the reason I couldn’t let go of Charles and just focus on Mark. I wanted to have a taste of freedom and indulge in a bit of recklessness. It bites me really hard in the butt. It was just a little flirting and a little kiss. All the same, it was wrong of me. Mark has no fault even though he cheated too. But I pushed him to it.I can’t cry an
Author’s POV“He did what?” Lois blurted, spitting out the juice in his mouth.Karen sighed, twirling the glass in her hand. They had returned from the Diamond Pack with Kate looking like her entire world had crashed down on her. One can tell just how unhappy she has become. The sight of Davina in Mark’s shirt with a smug look on her face already gave away the clue that their visit wouldn’t end well. It was hard to keep Kate down from visiting Mark to plead with him. However, she understood her persistence and just had to drop everything she was doing to travel with her.Hearing Mark dismiss Kate because of his own guilt was quite disappointing. Left to her, he was undeserving of her explanation from the start. It seemed too easy for him to move on. Everyone is experiencing a hard time because of him. And it didn’t take him long to dip his dick into another honeypot. Since they arrived, Kate has locked herself up in the room, refusing to talk to anyone. It is quite troubling not knowi
Mark’s POVThe morning sun burned my eyes as I attempted to open them. After struggling for a while, I eventually sat up with my eyes wide open. Letting out a loud yawn, I glanced to my side shocked at the person with me. The memories from last night came back stinging me in the head. I gulped hard. What the hell was I thinking? If I was drunk that would have been a perfect excuse. But I wasn’t. Davina was not drunk too and I remember she kissed me first. Why didn’t I say no to her? Fuck!Easing myself out of the bed, I got dressed quickly and tiptoed out of the room, not sure I had the courage to face her. What would I say? And how will I explain what just happened? After claiming to be in a relationship, I ended up sleeping with Davina with my eyes wide open.Unable to contain my thoughts, I ran out to the woods as fast as my legs could carry me. My wolf appears to be having a good time mocking me. My head aches like I have a hangover. Last night blew my mind. All I could do after r
Mark’s POV“Aren’t you going to answer that?” Marilyn asked handing me a glass of lemonade. I took it from her, mouthing a thank you. Lois is the one calling and I have promised myself to not respond to any calls that come from the Redmoon pack. Not even Karen can talk to me right now. They all knew about the things Kate indulged in and none of them talked her out of it. They must have been having fun fooling me. How I got myself together and returned home is still a mystery. I had nowhere else to go and who to turn to except Marilyn. I arrived last night and remained glued to th
Kate’s POVThe room was silent like there was no one in it. If not for the occasional heavy sighs from Karen and Lois, one wouldn’t think there was life around. I just sat there, feeling empty. Mh wolf had gone quiet and nothing seemed intriguing to me at the moment. All of my insides were worn out. My limbs are so weak, I doubt I would be able to lift a cup or carry my entire body. I wish I got the chance to put an end to Dame’s life. He has been nothing but a pure obstacle in my life. Since I met him, he has made sure to leave a lifetime mark for every chance he gets. I have never totally healed from the pain he caused me. I felt a sharp pain at the back of my neck. My head aches so bad. The
