Kate’s POV
The 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 knoMark’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
Kate’s POVI hastened my steps towards the rooftop of the hall. It felt like my breath had been caught up inmy lungs in the process of trying to make an escape. I should have just gone straight to the car.But coming this way felt right. My wolf groaned at the distorted state i was in. My foot almosthad me tripping when it stepped on my dress.Today is one of those days that I just wish I had gone back to bed and stayed in it. When I finallymade it there and happened to be alone. It felt like the best thing to ever happen to me. I blewout a long breath of relief and watched the evening sky. The party is only just in full gear.Knowing Karen she would want to enjoy the best of it and it would be wrong of me to depriveher of such a once in a while moment.Instead of putting my foul face in her space, I will just sit right here and enjoy the ambience. Iheard footsteps behind me that had my back stiffen. The person clear
Jean’s POV“Please, baby. You don’t have to do anything I will take it from there. I just want your dick insideme.” I begged shamelessly at Dame’s feet while he got ready for work.Like an insect he yanked me off of him, pushing me to the side. I winced when I hit my sideagainst a drawer.“Dame!” I called out weakly.He hissed, tugging at his tie. “Aren’t you ashamed begging to be fucked?”I wiped at the tears in my eyes angrily. “Well if you have been kind enough to give me what Iwant, we wouldn’t be dealing with this right now.”“That is not the point. If you are so tired just back down. Tell the elders that you are no longerinterested in being Luna. Then I am sure you wouldn’t need to beg so desperately anymore.”My fist tightened as I glared hard at him. He is doing everything to push me out. But that is nevergoing to
Kate’s POV“Ma’am, the necklace you see was nowhere to be found. We searched every nook and cranny ofthe house. I don’t think it is anywhere here. You probably misplaced it outside the house orwhoever took it already has it sold.” The inspector hired to find my necklace informed me on theother end.His words pricked my ear making me shiver. I can’t believe this is everything that could be foundafter spending so much money these past two days trying to find it. I suspected Mark mightknow about it and instructed that his room be searched thoroughly while he was away for work. Icouldn’t engage in any banter with him and had to avoid it.Or could it be the strange physiotherapist? But she just resumed her role in the house. There isno way she would do that. At the same time, one can’t really trust what she can do. I huffedtiredly, throwing my head to the back. The words of the
Dame’s POV“Did you have to come out here to drink when you have a full bar back at the house?” Lance probed. I twitched my nose and took a long sip of my whiskey. With my legs crossed I scanned the bar. It is our usual spot when we get tired of being indoors. So I have no idea why he is complaining. “Can you stop stressing me out? It is really getting on my nerves.” I retorted. “I just wanted to spend some time out with you.” He folded his arms. “
