Kate’s POV
The 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 forDame’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
Mark’s POVThe park and its bubbly activities made me suddenly dizzy. I want to yell until my throat runs flatbut I can’t. Not in this kind of place. Everything seems to be heading wrongly around me. I feeldejected. With Kate running the same position I have practically begged my father to put me infull charge. It makes me so angry.How am I supposed to be fine with the turnout of everything? I have worked for my father since Iwas in high school. Running fax machines and helping with errands that were beyond my age. Igot pushed into the business world long before I was ready. It took me a while and was hard atfirst but I made up my mind to reach the top and not be broken.Many years of working my butt off and bringing lasting deals to the company do not seem tomatter to him. My eyes watered and I felt weak. Hell no! I am not going to cry at his betrayal. Heshould be ashamed of himself for throwing his own chi
Kate’s POV“Where in the world is it?” I asked myself while ruffling my hair. It looks like a bird nest now withthe way I keep tugging at it.The entire room is in a disheveled mess. Thankfully I don’t have to worry about the cleanupimmediately since Jake isn’t around. He had traveled to meet some old-time investors withMarilyn leaving me all by myself with that demon son of his and the weird physiotherapist.I haven’t seen much of Mark around. I wonder what he is up to lately. He seemed to have madea decision to make himself out of sight. Thoughts of him are interesting but right now I reallycan’t think about him with the situation on my hands. I have a fundraiser to attend with Karen. Iam the representative of the company and I can’t seem to find the diamond crystal necklacewhich Jake had gifted me for our first anniversary.The necklace is a very special piece that can&rs
