Mark’s POV
I 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 my
privacy?” 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 yoKate’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
Mark’s POV“I am beyond disappointed in you.” Carl sneered.I ruffled my hair staring at the wall like I would bore a hole into it. “Why are you sounding like itis my fault? It’s not like I pushed him or anything.”“Oh, you did push him to the wall. What kind of son does everything to frustrate his father?” Hedidn’t look in the least pleased with me.It is even a surprise that he came to visit. The last time we spoke on the phone his voice was sohigh I thought my ear would rip apart in the process. If he wasn’t someone that I respected somuch, he wouldn’t even be this close to me let to talk of going as far as rebuking me.“What if she did it?” I retorted.“What if she did what? Was it Kate who sent you on a drunken drive that night? Your car wasn’ttampered with in any way. Your reckless driving is why you are here right now. And if yo
Kate’s POV“Are you sure you don’t need me to call your doctor?” I asked Jake for the umpteenth time sinceI woke up.As much as he keeps telling me that he is fine, I still feel concerned. His face is telling a differentstory. I found him in the bathroom again, this time with his head hanging inside the bathtub. Iwas so scared that I thought he had passed out. Only for him to smile weakly and say he wasenjoying the cold state of the floor.Jake sniffed and reached for my hand there was something fragile about his hold. His wolf’s lightseems to be dim, I tried to reach out but he is either blocking me or he is just too tired torespond.I knelt in front of him holding his gaze. “I won’t forgive you if I find out you are hiding somethingfrom me.”He chortled. “Wow, I am so scared of what you might do to me now. I am fine, Kate. Old age isjust catching up on me
Kate’s POVMy heart felt like it would rip out of my chest and I would die from excessive bleeding. Mark drove off recklessly and the only thought that kept going in my head was for him not to get hurt. I have never seen him so full of rage and hurt at the same time. Not even during the years we had spent feuding against each other. I could feel his emotions right within my pores. The rage and disappointment was visible. Shutting my eyes tightly, I let out a growl as that bastard's name flashed in my head. Dame! No wonder he has been asking cryptic questions and throwing snide remarks. The bastard must have felt on top of the world after doing what he did. What I can’t seem to understand is how he g
Mark’s POVAll of the caution from my wolf to calm down wasn’t working on me. I really need Kate to come here and explain this madness that is driving me nuts right now. The content of the envelope looked like animation to me. I tried to not think it through since the person who brought it to me couldn’t be trusted. Yet my treacherous mind kept going back to it. I had to send the pictures out to affirm that it wasn’t photoshopped. Also, the name of the guy Kate locked lips with was Charles. I had heard of that name before. It rang a very familiar bell in my head. Without thinking I got on the plane and came down to the Redmoon pack. Calling Kate to affirm what I witnessed wouldn’t
Kate’s POVAs if the trouble I encountered with Charles this morning wasn’t enough. I had to bump into Dame in the elevator. My already ruined mood went on to become sour. “Wow, just the exact thing I need for my morning.” He said as soon as the doors closed up. All I could mumble was that the elevator stopped on time. I do not want to be around a moron like Dame. Can’t tell what I might do to him or myself. I have been riled up enough. So I chose to pretend he doesn’t exist at all. Because in reality, the fool has no count in my world. But as expected, a moron like Dame wouldn’t know when it is the right time to talk or not. He just keeps yapping like he is doing at the moment. “I see you are still very relaxed and not rattled yet.” He said that there is something he is aware of. “You know something, Kate. Do you have this premonition recently like I do that something is about to go wrong for you? I mean it won’t just rip you out, it will tear you apart. I doubt your situation wi
Kate’s POVMy wolf was restless. I have been having this strange feeling lately like something is about to go wrong. Even though I continuously push the thoughts away, it keeps coming. It’s as if I have no control over it. It torments everything inside of me and I am helpless to the effect. I barely have nightmares. But I have been having them persistently lately and it’s quite dark. More disturbing is that I have been seeing Jean in my dreams. It seems as if things are about to go awry. “Stop thinking so negatively.” My wolf urged. “I can’t really help it,&rdqu
Mark’s POVI let out a long breath, wiping off the sweat that dripped down my face. It’s been so long that I have almost forgotten how enjoyable it is running in the woods at night. My wolf felt thrilled and wouldn’t stop howling. I intend to get a long sleep after this. But first a filled belly. The chef already left for home. I opened the fridge to find the meals she prepped. Series of options to pick from. Smirking to myself, I pulled out a chicken casserole bowl. Put the portion that would be enough for me to eat on a plate and microwaved it. Waiting patiently for it to warm up with a spoon in hand, I sat on the stool staring around the house. I don’t know why I am in a particular mo
Kate’s POVMy head felt like it would split into two. I haven’t been myself since I woke up. I crave to get drunk, go on a wild drive, and just disappear into thin air. I have been put through so much with the stupid play Charles indulged in. I am so gullible, it’s almost unbelievable. For someone who has had to go through so much disappointment from men, I should have acted smarter with this one. How I let myself get so gullible is disgusting. I can’t be tagged as anyone’s role model. It’s obvious they will be led astray with me just opening my mouth. “Don’t be so harsh on yourself. It’s not worth it.” My wolf advised. “Also, you can just remain
Mark’s POV“Do not mind that bastard! He is obviously trying to get into your head.” My wolf urged as my eyes remained glued on the envelope Dame dropped. “The things in it are probably photoshopped.” Inhaling deeply, I sucked my teeth, relaxing back in my chair. That bastard sure has a lot of nerve walking in here. Did he think I would believe him? I was so stunned by his attitude that I couldn’t really piece my words together. Fucking asshole! My focus has already been messed with and it seemed proper to just head home. Standing up, I reached for the envelope. Promising myself to not check through. I should put a call through to Kate. Considering how that moron showed up, h
Dame’s POV“This looks quite fancy.” My wolf drawled in a mocking tone. A satisfied smirk appeared on my face as I got out of the car feeling good. I have never been in the Diamond pack before. This happens to be a first and it is the most joyous moment for me too. Caressing my jacket, I walked towards the building. Not sure which floor I am headed to just yet, but I am certain all I need to say is the name. Saw a pretty lady and asked her where Mark Mccatty’s office might be. She directed me and I went straight to business, ignoring the urge to ask for her contact. Got on the el
Kate’s POVI have always prided myself in being courteous, but today I am throwing all of the damned rules in the wind. I didn’t care that Charles' secretary might end up losing her job as I barged into his office rudely. He had some people with him who had to leave on my insistence. “What’s going on, Kate?” He asked like he wasn’t the one who orchestrated the problem at hand. I fished out my phone with fidgety hands. Didn’t let that deter me as I tapped on the blog link Bianca shared with me and put it in his face. He stared at me like I had just blasphemed.
