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 meMark’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. “
Jean’s POV“Get your hand off me!” I groaned in pain as Dame tightened his grip on my arm.I was too slow in moving away from him. One thing that I learned too late knowing Dame wasthat he isn’t the nicest person when he is drunk. Especially towards me. We are both in thehallway where the maids and guards are walking past and he has me handled roughly withoutcaring about what they might say.“You are hurting me.” I whimpered. “Can we at least leave here?”“Of course we should.” He growled, pulling me forcefully towards a room. Dame didn’t give me achance to get myself together before pushing me to the floor.I winced as my body touched the cold floor. The tears filled my eyes. The years I have spent withDame are the ones I have been ill-treated the most. I can’t even explain why I keep letting himget away with everything. Feeling armed, I stood up wiping at the tears angrily.“You bastard! What did I do to deserve this awful treatment from you? Have you lost yourfucking mind?”
Kate’s POVI threw my head to the back as I felt his finger deep inside my wet pussy. A light intense moanescaped my lips as I gripped both sides of the bathtub while he moved skillfully in and out of me.It is just two of his fingers and I am about to lose my mind. I ground against it fiercely, gaspingfor breath while I tightened my pussy around his finger. He worked his way through holding out acurve as he touched the walls. I bite down on my lips so hard as the flames burst through me.A loud pleasured scream escaped my lips as I opened my eyes panting heavily. I glanced aroundthe space to realize that I was actually in the bathtub and the water had turned cold. I must haveslept off. How is it that I am having wet dreams in the midst of the turmoil that I am faced with?The cold water sank into my skin all of a sudden jolting me back to the present. My wolf growledin revolt. I got up from it and dried my body. I am so
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.
