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. “
Mark’s POV“You might break that phone in two if you keep staring at it like that,” Carl said as he motioned towards the bartender to refill our glasses. “What’s wrong? You have been gloomy all morning.” Ruffling my hair, I exhaled. My wolf must be exhausted at this point. “Kate. She hasn’t been taking my calls. That lady can hold a grudge for days. You would think she would let it all go by now.” He mouthed a thank you to the attendant before responding to me. “Well, we all respond to situations differently. She needs her time away from you an
Kate’s POVI am not crying! I shouldn’t be crying! It’s not like I am that into him. He can go to hell for all I care. But why does it hurt so much? Why? The image of Miguel’s distasteful glare kept haunting me. The only person who stared at me with that much detest was Mark. It’s almost as if there is nothing I can say to change the way he thinks about me. And that truly hurts. “Cry baby, how long have you been here?” Karen asked, sitting next to me. “Will you like some?” She showed me the bottle of wine in her hand. “No, thank you.” I sniffed, wrapping my arms around myself. “Do you care to tell me what is going on with you? I have been a mess and we didn’t get the chance to talk about you.” “I am glad you know how much of a horrible friend you are.” She chuckled. “Guilty as charged. How did your visit to Miguel go?” “Awful. I have never seen him act like that. It felt like he didn’t even care about me anymore and just wanted me out of his sight.” “I guess I would feel the s
Author’s POV“How long do you intend to keep hiding there?” Marilyn asked from the other end of the line. Miguel rolled his eyes at the phone screen before returning his attention to the file in his hand. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” She made a snorty sound. “I am sure you do. Anyway, this call is to inform you of what I did. Kate is on her way to see you.” His eyes bulged out in shock at the news. “What? How is that possible?&r
Kate’s POV“Why the hell is his line unreachable?” I gritted, pushing the phone aside. A low growl escaped my lips as I glared hard at the phone screen hoping for a tiny second I would get a call or text from him. Sighing, I turned to my almost-cold coffee. It is not a surprise that Karen is still sound asleep. Last night, she was quite hysterical, got drunk, and yapped on and on unnecessarily. I had no other choice but to just sit and listen until she collapsed into a deep slumber. I felt bad for her because I know firsthand what it feels like to be on a different side with one's pare
Kate’s POVAs soon as my feet touched the ground, the comforting smell hit me. Home! This is what it feels like being in a place that makes you safe and you get to be yourself. Tears laced my eyes as I stared intensely at the house. For a moment I wished Jake would hurry out of it and pull at my cheek to tell me he was pulling my legs all along. I could never really get over his death. The large fields remind me of the times we would just run around in our wolf form throwing jabs at each other. He completed me and never asked too much from me. “You are here now, stop thinking of what should
Mark’s POV“My man!” Carl bellowed as he hurried towards me. I laughed heartily, pulling him into an embrace. “Damn, Carl! How long has it been?” He cackled, “ages! Thanks for picking me up man.” “Please don’t embarrass me. That is what friends are for.” His eyes washed over me. “You seem so different. Redmoon pack seems t
Jean’s POVThe cold breeze hit my exposed skin jolting me back to life. My lashes fluttered as I tried to make sense of my environment. Those stupid maids had forgotten to shut the windows. Do they not know cold isn’t right for a pregnant lady? They are all so foolish. Sucking my teeth, I got off the bed, changing into something that would keep the cold away. My throat felt dry, I glanced at the water jar and shook my head. A glass of warm milk would be better. Picking up the phone, I dialed the headmaid. She picked on the second ring. “Sleepyhead! How long do I have to be on the line
Kate’s POVThe office has been my safe space in the last few days. Leaving the house early became a sudden habit. My last encounter with Mark didn’t exactly make me proud of myself. I had spoken out of turn and acted desperate. Maybe what I really need is good sex and the fog will go flying. As Karen would say, no orgasm for so long can lead to one acting like a maniac for just about anything. I have had random kisses, yet I had to hold onto Mark’s like it was heaven. That must be why he couldn’t understand my insistence on the kiss. I do not like it here. The door opened abruptl
Kate’s POVNo one was in the house when I arrived. The first thing I did was let out a loud sigh of relief. Driving back home had been a mental task. I tried not to overthink my reaction. Lois had sided with Karen insisting I return home and stop running from every problem I encounter. After sitting for a long time in the room yielding nothing but lazy fat. Running in the woods seemed like the best option. My wolf howled in excitement as soon as she felt the grass. Trying not to think about anything, I ran as fast as my legs could carry letting the evening air calm me. Thoughts of the day returned for me to rummage on. I erased anything that had to do with Dame, he doesn’t deserve the space in my head. At the same time, I can’t help but feel some type of way concerning his acceptance of the new position without blowing the roof off. “He knows there is nothing else he can do right now. Which I think is smart that he has accepted his fate.” My wolf mused.I grunted in agreement. That
