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 POVMy heart raced as Jake’s words sent shivers down my spine. It had goosebumps laced my armand not in a good way.“I bet you are not deaf, Kate! Answer me!” He bellowed his words shaking the entire space.I gulped hard, staggering backward in fear. My words came out shaky as my lips quivered inresponse. I ended up stuttering which wasn’t helping my case. “I…I promise you, Jake. I do notknow who this man is. I have never met him before. You know I would never indulge in anythingshady.”“How am I supposed to know that? Especially with the necklace right here in my hand. Didn’t yousay you couldn’t find it? How dare you lie to me!”“Jake please…” I sobbed helplessly. I have barely recovered from being kicked out of thecompany and now this. “Please, Jake. I don’t know what this is all about, I beg you.”He
Kate’s POVNone of us spoke a word after I got into her car. I didn’t even know where we were headed. I justlet her drive me to wherever. At this point I don’t mind getting murdered it would only put anend to my misery. After a long drive, we came to a stop at a luxurious-looking bungalow withwell-maintained lawns.I swallowed dryly as I got out of the car and Marilyn took out the bags.“Is this one of Jake’s?” I finally found the strength to speak. “I really don’t want to poach on hisproperty. He has done more than enough. Just let me go far from here Marilyn, please.”“And where would you go? Aren’t you an orphan? I would have let you go if only you would takesolace in the arms of your friend Karen, but I know you wouldn’t. And as for this house, it is mine.I am not poor my darling. I just enjoy living in that house with you all. Don’t forget I ge
Dame’s POVJean has lost her damn mind. I can’t tell if this is some sort of crazy test. But whatever it is she isplanning has her loose in the head. Because I can’t seem to figure out why she had to hire anassistant that has my dick thumping at every sight of her. If this is a test. I am definitely going tofail without remorse.When Mia got introduced to me as Luna’s assistant, my eyes just couldn’t move past her titties.They had my wolf howling in delight. It makes me wonder what she would look like in bed. Iwould really like to see it. But I had to snap out of the thoughts not ready to get pulled intowhatever stupid game Jean was playing. This might be her way to get back at me for refusing toget her pregnant.And from the look of things, Mia appears very uptight. She wouldn’t even blink twice my way andalways had her head bowed when talking to me. Makes it tiring to deal with.
Mark’s POV“Hmmn, this feels so good,” I mumbled with my eyes closed enjoying the poolside.Carl snorts next to me. “I really hate that you are in a wheelchair. We should be out in the woodsrunning until our hind legs can’t move anymore. But it appears you are enjoying the company ofyour physiotherapist too much and you have refused to get better.”I snorted, opening my eyes. “Bernie is the last person that would ever catch my interest. Andeven if there is a possibility of it happening I will rather go celibate.”“Wow! That bad?”“You need to see her. She dresses up like some old wolf very ready to retire into a cubicle.”He burst out laughing. “That's wild.”“Yeah. But I am getting better. Bernie assured me that I would be able to get back on my feet inno time. You don’t know how much I am anticipating that. I want to fee
Kate’s POV“What Alpha has so much free time like you Miguel?” I questioned tossing him the popcorn bag.He shrugged laughing. “Coming here is a way to escape my duty.”“Won’t it be sitting in wait for you later on?”Miguel snickered. “Not at all. It is why I have my Beta in place.”“I feel so bad for the poor guy. It is my fault that his Alpha is slacking.”“Trust me, baby. You have no tiny fault in it. I am the lazy one.”I laughed and watched as he got the popcorn ready for the movie we were about to watch. I donot feel deserving of his presence. Especially after the encounter, we had the last time we met atthe party. If not for Miguel I would have drowned in my thoughts. It's been over two weeks and Ihave still not heard from Jake. He really believes all of the allegations leveled against me.I am almost believing it myself. But Ma
Kate’s POV“What did you just say?” I croaked as something seemed to have stuck in my throat.“I have a month to live.” He repeated.“That can be!”“Now relax don’t get too excited!” Jake tried to make a joke but I was not having it.“How are you even making a joke out of this? We need to get you to the hospital right now. Haveyou told Marilyn? What sickness is it? Do we need to fly you out of the pack to get the besthands on deck? What do we have to do?” I rambled on hysterically.All I can see is danger. There is no way he is losing his life on my watch! He placed both of hishands on my shoulder and let out a long breath.“Now easy, this is why I need you to relax, please. To answer your questions, I haven’t toldanyone yet, you are the first to know. As for what to do. There is nothing you can do anymore tosave me. I have been carryin
Dame’s POV“Did you like the gift I sent?” I asked Mia on the phone.She let out a cute giggle. “It is so beautiful. You don’t have to do so much for me.”I adjusted myself on the chair feeling a sense of pride. “I would do more if you want. Just want tomake you feel special. So dinner tonight?”“Yes.”“Alright, see you then. My driver will come get you soon.”“Bye.”I hummed back in response and ended the call. Lance's eyes practically bored a hole inside of mefrom where he stood.“What?” I bickered.He pulled out a chair to sit and let out a curse. “Can you tell me what the fuck you think you aredoing?”“Why are you so aggressive with your approach? What did I do this time? I thought we had asuccessful contract execution?” I started knowing that is one thing he would always grill me
Jean’s POV“Ahhhhh!” I screamed at the top of my lungs while pushing everything that stood in my way.What the fuck is going on? I knew I set Mia up but I didn’t expect he would want to flaunt her atthe slightest opportunity. Just like he does with the rest of the ladies he had fucked, thought thiswould be a one-time thing.What have I done? What did that bitch tell him? Or did she actually tell him everything weplanned? I am so going to kill her if that happens to be the case. That bastard, Dame! He is goingto be the death of me.Because of him members of the packhouse hardly show me any respect. And now he hashumiliated me again by giving them something to gossip about. Tears rolled down my faceuncontrollably. I never should have gone to eavedrop on what might be going on in Dame’sroom.I ended up hearing Mia’s passionate moan and Dame’s pleasured grunts. The few times we h
