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 feeKate’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
Cassian“Hmmn.” I let out a painful groan, unable to keep it to myself any longer.It's almost as if the more we get into the exercise, the harder it gets. And Lyra isn’t being nice tome. It is probably her means to get revenge on me for how I had judged the argument betweenher and Amy.“I can’t go further,” I said breathless.“Just three more to go,” Lyra replied stiffly.Shutting my eyes tightly, I managed to scale through the rest while consoling myself with thethought of the massage. Only for me to get on with taking my clothes off and she stopped me.“Why?” I inquired genuinely taken aback.“I need you to take the juice for a few days before we do that again. It is just to make sure that itis working.” She mumbled.I searched her face for any kind of spite she might be hiding away. I have been anticipating themassage like my life
Mark’s POV“What do you mean by Kate is returning to the company? She was suspended from the companyremember.” I stated eyeballing Marilyn.Marilyn looked up from the file she had in front of her and stared me down. “Kate is a key pathof the company and has to be involved in the projects.”A disgusted scoff escaped my lips. “Do you hear yourself? She is barely four years in the companyand you also enlisted her as a key part of us. How much did she pay you to slot her back in.”“If you aren’t Jake’s son, I would have smacked the living daylight out of you.” She said calmly.“What?” I shifted on my crutches while trying not to relax on the healing leg too much.“Act deaf all you want. Kate has been let back into the company, so I would advise you to get agrip on yourself. We need this project to work out without you creating any kind of mess and I
