Mark’s POV
The 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 chiKate’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
Mark’s POV“You look happy today,” Bernie noted as she lifted my right leg, exercising it.I raised a brow in amusement. “How would you know?”She shrugged keeping her glasses in place. “You always complain whenever I am working on yourfeet. But today you are quite relaxed and I can sense less tension in your bones too.”I smacked my lips. “You are actually right. I am really in a happy mood. Are you done?” I asked.“Yes.” She replied. “I should help you get back in the chair.”“Alright. Call one of the men around the house.”Bernie sniffed shifting her glass. “No, I can actually handle it on my own.”My wolf growled in disapproval but I didn’t say much and just let her try her luck. It was a bit of astruggle for her and I didn’t even attempt to help.She panted heavily. “Can you move a bit please?”
Kate’s POVLois was wrong. It wasn’t gone, nothing changed despite the several calls he made for the post to be brought down and reported. I was shocked when I arrived at the office the next day and everyone had something to say about me. Some bloggers even came by to hear my side of the story. Those fucktards! I didn’t know when my claws erupted from my nails to sink into one of the ladies talking about me in the elevator. If not for Karen who remained relaxed surprisingly through it all and held me down. Definitely, they don’t recognize me. If not they wouldn’t be talking trash about me in my presence. One was most annoying, saying she was certain I had given Alpha Dame a love po
Kate’s POVRelaxing in a bathtub is the best feeling ever if I am asked. After running through the woods for a while, I thought to reward myself with a nice bath. Then I will settle on the couch with enough junk and binge-watch movies with Karen. That is the life. Mark went to Carl for the night. So it’s just us girls. I spent enough time in the bath before stepping out of it to get dressed. While at it Karen walked in without knocking. “I could have been naked you know?” I said.
Kate’s POV“A bouquet?” My wolf noted before I did. A small smile tugged at my lips as I got closer to the table wondering who would have sent such beautiful flowers and a chocolate box to me. I had a guess it might be Mark. I snatched it from the table hopefully and the hopes were dashed immediately i read the note from the sender. Sucking my teeth, I tossed the flowers into the trash can and was about to do the same with the chocolate box when Karen yelled out to me. “Wait!”
Mark’s POVWhat would have been the odds three years ago if I was told patience would be something I had to learn the hard way? I never did much work to love anyone. Just thought it didn’t require too much and gift buying was enough. However, getting on with Kate has made me realize I have to do beyond buying her gifts or taking her out to eat.She needs to see that I mean everything I tell her from every little action I put out. To think I had to learn this from loose-headed Karen. I must have been a lost cause. Humming to myself as I flipped the pancake in the pan, I smiled to myself at the detailed breakfast. I went all out just so she wouldn’t give an excuse for not wanting to eat something
Mark’s POVHave never felt this frustrated in my entire life. Tugging at the tail end of my hair, I punched at the bed in exhaustion. I have been trying to sleep, but instead, all that keeps coming to my head is everything Kate said to me. What is wrong with her? Why would she even go to such extreme thoughts? It’s becoming a routine of us going through this many emotions to understand a simple discussion. I don’t know how else to handle her insecurity. “Do you think she is wrong to have them?” My wolf asked. I inhaled sharply, rubbing at the back of my neck. I feel so restless, if I don’t get this aching thought out of my head then it will be a big-time pain for me. Pulling off the sheets, I stepped out of the room to go for a run. I felt too lazy to shift into my wolf, so I just ran on my feet for a bit. Five minutes later, I found myself on the porch breathing like I had just been punched in my gut. Karen’s presence took me by surprise, I was too engrossed in myself and didn’t
Kate’s POV“Who the fuck do that bitch think she is? How dare her come at you like that?” Karen whined as I entered the house. To keep my mind from going back on forth on the many occurrences of today, I went to the woods to run. On my return, Karen still hadn’t gotten over the scene Rayna pulled. I huffed, sitting opposite her with my legs crossed. “Can we stop talking about her already? How were you fuming for over an hour with no one here with you?” I inquired.
Mark’s POVWho would have thought a time would come in my and Kate’s life when she gets to rant about her day to me and I just sit through it all listening to her? Despite the evident anger on her face, she looks beautiful. “You are ogling her.” My wolf taunted. I smiled to myself, taking a sip of my drink to keep it hidden. Crazy Karen on the other hand can’t seem to hide the amusement she was feeling while Kate lamented. I wasn’t surprised when I saw them together. Since Karen insisted on following Kate to the office, I knew they wouldn’t move apart for the re
Kate’s POV“In my entire life, I don’t think I have met someone as heartless as Dame. Did you see his face? He didn’t appear to be mourning.” I complained to Lois as we settled into the office couch. Karen who had decided she wanted to come to the office with me scoffed. “You mentioned he never loved her. How do you expect someone like that to mourn over her? He must be glad she is dead.” Lois let out a tired yawn. “We have come to the conclusion a long time ago that Dame isn’t and would never be worth the emotion. As much as it hurts that Jean had t
Kate’s POVTears rolled down my face uncontrollably as I watched the funeral procession of Jean from afar. It was just Judith all by herself with Jean’s urn in her hand by the beach. Must be quite a sad life to have no one to lean on in this time of need. I would have loved to join her, but no one asked me. To an extent I might be losing my mind, considering how I had followed Judith all the way from the hospital down here. I just couldn’t turn my back on her. Maybe it was the last words she said to me or doing what my dad would have expected of me. “I can’t believe Dame is
