Kate’s POV
None 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 his
property. 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 geDame’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
Dame’s POVThe maids hurried through the hallway as they whispered to one another saying something wasout there. I cursed under my breath. They seem to have a lot of free time on their hands with theway they keep running about.I didn’t think whatever it was that must have caught their interest would have anything to dowith me, until I got outside to see Jean breaking the window shields of my two favorite cars witha baseball bat. She already left one in shambles and had descended on the other orn.“What the fuck? Jean, have you lost your mind?” I yelled.She laughed like a maniac baring her teeth at me. “Oh, you haven’t discovered yet? I have reallylost it!” She replied and kept on with her hitting.I turned to the guards. “You fools! Why is no one stopping her?”Like they were just controlled by a remote, the guards rushed to her and lifted Jean off theground. She
Kate’s POV“Kate!” Jake embraced me with a full-blown smile on his face.I don’t know how he is able to keep the energy. Before I got here I had blown so much nose fluidinto the tissue from crying that I doubted there be any left for the next two days.“How are you doing?” I asked, cupping his face in my palm like I could deduce something from it.He sighed and laughed. “I am doing just great. How are you too? Thanks for coming, come on in.”“I am fine. I am surprised you came to invite me in yourself.” I said.“As soon as I heard the car, I knew it was you. Also, I needed to tell you something before we goin.”“Okay.”He paused and held my hand. “I don’t want to tell the news to them.”“Why?”Jake sighed. “I don’t need the pity. I just want to have fun as much as I can until death takes me
Mark’s POV“Want to go for a ride?” I offered Kate, sitting next to her on the bed. She looked up from her tablet and held her signature smile that brightened up her face. “Why are you interested in leaving your painting to take me on a ride?” Pushing her loose hair straight backward, I shrugged. “I just feel like these past few days have been tough on you. And I am jealous that everyone got to be there for you and not me.” I didn’t bother to hide my pettiness. My wolf chuffed in mockery. I ignored him. Kate chuckled, covering her mouth. “Are you being serious?” I feigned a pout. “Do I look like I am joking? I really want to go out with you and if you refuse me, it will only mean that you would prefer the others' help and not mine.” “Mark, come on don’t be like that. You have done your best to be here for me. I will never ask more of you.” “Is that so? So what do you say to me wanting to be of actual help?” She thinned her lips like she was struggling to hold back her laughter.
Kate’s POV“Why is she here?” I questioned Lois. Judith had been invited to the office without any prior notice and I don’t think I appreciate the gesture. Lois sat up and cleared his throat. “I tried to bring the videos down, but it had circulated quite much. That is not to say I won’t get around it. But we need to make sure another video isn’t made. So I invited her over for you both to come to a compromise or we have her sued.” Judith cackled dryly. “You are going to sue me? How do you intend to do that when the entire public is supporting me? Thi
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
