Kate’s POV
The 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 meKate’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
Dame’s POV“Get back here, Dame!” Jean yelled after me.I swear to the goddess that I might end up having murder on the list of my intentions. She hasbeen nothing short of a pain to my neck with her constant nagging. I sucked my teeth and turnedto her.“What do you want?” I questioned.“Baby, the elders asked for a meeting with us.”I cringed at the endearment she passed onto me. “Don’t call me that! And I am not interested inmeeting with any damned Elder. I have a board meeting to attend.”Like the devil’s incarnate she is, Jean stood firmly in front of me when I turned to leave. My eyesscanned her stance in irritation. Even after having sex a number of times which was caused bydrunken horny moments that I had no control over. I still can’t find much interest in her. My wolfespecially just finds her wolf repulsive.“I don’t care
Jean’s POV“Leave when I am still being nice, Jean,” Lois said raising a stern brow.“You should be careful with the way you speak to me. I am the Luna you know.” I gritted.He gave me a look that shows he gives no fuck. “Jean, whatever position you think you hold, itstops in the manner you live. This is my establishment and I have every right to treat whoevercomes like I desire. Don’t push your luck.”I clenched my fist next to me while my wolf growled furiously underneath. All of this is Dame’sfault. Why would someone as low as Lois think it is right to look me in the face and talk to mewhichever way he pleases? I am the Luna and I should be able to do whatever I please. Instead, Iam here sitting in this stuffed office trying to speak to a nobody.“He has been coming here for a while now. I need to know why it is this place in particular.” Iinsisted refusi
Mark’s POV“Take one step closer and I am going to rip you apart!” I threatened the nurse. Letting my wolf tothe surface to show her how serious I am.She panicked, staggering backwards. “I need to give you your daily dose. Please. It is importantfor you to get better.”“Wow! It is the resilience for me. Are you crazy? I do not want why stupid dose you intend togive. I am sure that bitch sent you here to kill me off and make sure my limbs do not come alive.Get the fuck out!”“What is all of this noise about?” Marilyn walked in.“You tell me.” I snarled at her. “You keep sending assassins to me and expect me to sit still. I donot want to see her, so you had better get her out or you won’t like my next line of action.”In her usual way, she folded her arms with a stern expression. “Now listen young man. I am notgoing to change th
Kate’s POVThe ground seemed to be turning underneath me and it made me feel dizzy. But I couldn’t stop abig dangerous-looking black wolf with piercing gold eyes was behind running after medesperately with a murderous look in its eyes. It appears the only reason it would back out is if Iam caught. But I am determined not to get caught so I keep running.My paws felt heavy and sore, just like I was, my wolf wouldn’t back down. We have to escapethis darkness by all means. All of a sudden everything became calm and the hard ground thatseemed to be moving underneath me stopped. I let out a chuff, resting my sweaty fur against anearby tree. Just when I thought the storm was over, the dangerous wolf jumped at me fromnowhere.“Ah!” I screamed opening my eyes. The morning sun shining through the small window burnt myeyes causing me to wince.I panted heavily as I glanced around the space to kno
