Kate’s POV
“Where is this place?” Jake asked as I opened the car door for him to get off.I laughed a little and stood next to him. “When we go in you will see. But for a heads up, It is aprivate beach. And I invited Marilyn.”He gave me a suspicious glance. His wolf seemed to be growling in disapproval too. “Why? Whyinvite Marilyn when we are supposed to be spending time together?” His voice seemed raisedand I can almost tell why it is like that.I scratched the back of my neck. “She wanted to be here. Also, I had asked her to come.”Marilyn had bumped into Jake when he thought no one was watching as he coughed up blood. Ididn’t need to be there to be fully aware of the gruesome sight that must have been. She fearedsomething terrible was going on and thought to share it with me. I couldn’t respond to herupright that I knew what was happening. Bringing JakeMark’s POVA light yawn escaped my lips as I entered the house, i pulled at my tie feeling exhausted. The dayseemed so long that I was worried it wouldn’t end soon. From one meeting to another, I almostdidn’t catch a break. Just when I thought the rest of the day would go smoothly. I caught sight ofKate strolling casually down the stairs.How did I miss the car outside?“What are you doing here?” I questioned.Kate gave me a stare-down and walked towards the kitchen like she didn’t hear me. I wanted togo after her but my wolf cautioned me. Putting too much pressure on my legs that I practicallyjust laid off crutches wouldn’t be too nice. I acquiesced and headed to my room.Dad sure knows how to do everything to get on my last nerve. I thought there was an unspokenagreement to not let her back into the house. I got changed and headed towards his room.Marilyn stood in my way.
Kate’s POVJake died when the moon was in its full glory in the middle of the night. He went so soundly, thatone would have thought he was just sleeping. Mark had gone bonkers as he kept calling severalspecialists in different packs begging them to save his father. It turns out that most of the travelsJake indulged in, he went to seek for the specialist's help. But nothing came to play.He must have been desperate to remain alive and had been a hard time for him going through allof that alone. Such a shame that he couldn’t get what he sought. I haven’t been able to cry sincethe incident two days ago. My heart seemed like it was frozen and my eyes laced heavily withunshed tears. My tongue has taken an involuntary break making it difficult for me to want to sayanything.I sighed again in exhaustion, it is so hard to lose someone that you have almost idolized to neverbe gone. My heart is in shamble
Dame’s POVAll my life I have never been so eager to see someone on their return from a trip as I am feelingtowards Lance’s arrival from Diamond Pack. He has been gone for over two weeks, tending toother things. He had called to say he had some important news to share when he got on theplane back home. Which I really hope is in terms of the company. With the major owner dead, Iasked him to speak to the son if he was willing to sell.I don’t mind selling off the pack to get it. I need my company back. I paced the study back andforth, sucking my teeth. I checked the time and he should be here by now. Just when I was aboutto put a call through again, the door opened, relieving me of my stress.“What the hell, Lance? Are you a snail? Why did it take you so long to get here?”He made a snorty sound, plopping onto the couch with a smirk on his face. “I do not owe you mymovement. I had to go h
Jean’s POVDame’s grip on me loosened, causing me to fall on the floor panting slowly. My heart raced twiceas fast as I remembered it to be. I had almost forgotten that I was pregnant. The doctor had justaffirmed it to me today and I am already on a journey to lose it.He looked very shocked at the news and seemed to be doing a calculation in his head. All of asudden he snapped.“You bitch! Are you trying to escape my wrath by lying so blatantly?” Dame growled, his eyesfilled with hatred for me. It made my heart clench tightly.I bit back on my quivering lips. “You can call the packhouse doctor to affirm. I have no reason tolie.”The wheels were beginning to turn in his head now. Which I feel very glad for, I thought we wereover the discussion of Kate. But I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part. He would neverforget her unless I was out of the picture. And I will be damn
Kate’s POVLosing someone dear to one’s heart rips you of a shield that you find hard to express. I didn’tknow just how much he meant to be me until I returned from work and ended up with an emptyroom. Jake was nowhere near to help massage my aching feet or dazzle me with stories of whenhe was young and notorious.I miss his ever-teasing wiggle of his brows when I am trying to get upset at something. He alwayshad the right thing to say. Jake was my father until the very end. Giving me everything andmaking sure that I lacked nothing even when I didn’t deserve it.The tears formed again but my eyes had grown too tired to let it out. Inhaling deeply, I let out ashaky breath and stood up to wash and take my bath. The family lawyer is visiting today. Hecouldn’t read the will immediately after we buried Jake as it appears none of us is interested inhearing what affirms the death of the man we ha
Mark’s POV“Take a moment to breathe, Mark, and stop stressing your legs out so much,” Carl said.I sucked my teeth, pausing abruptly. I couldn’t stay back at that damned house after hearingwhat the lawyer had to say. Carl was the only person that I could come to.“Can you believe what they just did?” I questioned.“I can believe it considering how you were towards Jake before his last days.” He stated bluntly.“What are you saying? All of this is Kate’s fault. I am very sure she turned my father against meto get the inheritance. She has been doing so for years. How possible is it that someone asinexperienced as her was gifted a company? The one at Redmoon to be precise.”He cackled. “You are acting really delusional. Kate had nothing to do with you and your father’srelationship going sour. Why won’t you just admit to your shit? This is wrong! Y
Dame’s POV“Are you stalking me now?” I questioned Lance after tossing my phone angrily at the wall.Jean is hellbent on making my life miserable. She keeps calling my line with different contactsjust to get my attention. I should have ended her life that same day. Sucking my teeth, I reachedfor the beer bottle in front of me.Lance sat down with a raised brow. “You have been going in and out of the house withoutbranching by the office to see how things are going. What are you hinging on, Alpha Dame?”“I can’t seem to understand anything you are saying.” I retorted with a snort.“The packed council will be livid if they hear about your fight with Jean. Don’t you already haveenough on your plate? Why are you being so stubborn?”Now I am inclined to give him the response he deserves.“Tell me something, Lance. Have you been taking free pussy from her? Is
Kate’s POVNever knew packing could be so draining. I could have asked the maids to handle it, but I felt itwas something that I needed to do. The first time I left home to squat with Lois, I didn’t get thechance to take many clothes as I hoped I would only need them for a few days. The other timewas when I left my pack with Jake and I didn’t have anything of mine with me. Marilyn had goneshopping with me as soon as we landed.Something tugged at my chest as I held the diamond necklace in my palm. It felt as if I couldsense Jake’s spirit in it. The piece holds a lot of memories to it and I intend to keep it with me forthe rest of my life. His death left a deep hole in my heart that I doubt anyone else can fill.A lone tear rolled down my face as I sat on the floor with my legs curled haphazardly underneathme like someone on the verge of losing hope. It wasn’t until his belongings were moved out of
Kate’s POVA Year and a Half LaterMy fingers sank into his bare back as he plunged into me. I could almost taste him at the tip of my tongue. His strong plan raised my ass cheek enabling him to thrust deeper. Mark grunted in pleasure as I wrapped my legs around his waist urging him to take all of me. His thrust was fast and hard. I was almost out of breath. I moaned loudly at each thrust. Our arousals lay thick in the air. A satisfied scream escaped my lips as he hit me hard and my entire body came undone like a surge of electricity just moved through me. Mark increased his pace and let out a loud groan, nutting inside me before he collapsed next to me panting slowly. I chuckled, caressing his chest with my finger.“How was it?” I asked, kissing his sweaty forehead.He turned to me, smacking my ass. “Magical as always.”“Is that so?” I teased.He smacked me again, his eyes smiling. “Stop being such a tease.”“I love to know that I got you good.” I grinned, causing him to cackle. “
Kate’s POVMy wolf paw thawed through the wet grass. I ran like my life depended on it. Hoping my worries will float away with the wind. My heart thumped really hard like it might leap out of its cage. Thinking through the last conversation i had with Mark which was a month ago. My head feels like it would explode. How he was able to say things like that to me without feeling awful, is so painful.“Stop thinking over it. You will keep hurting yourself.” My wolf said.I halted all of a sudden, falling to the ground helplessly. The tears that I had held back for so long rolled down my face uncontrollably. I wish I could just disappear to somewhere unknown and forget about all these troubles I have gotten into. From the look of things, finding true love might not be a part of my fate. I might be doomed to live by myself with no one to love me right. Learning to be happy with myself seems like the best thing I can do to get out of this. The thoughts are drowning me. Heartbreaks are quite
Mark’s POVI can feel their judgmental eyes on me. I clenched and unclenched my fist hating how she chose to ignore me instead of addressing the accusation. Seeing her today is a mix of emotions. Kate drives me to the edge. I wanted to sweep her off the ground, seeing how exhausted she is. At the same time, i wanted to question her for causing our relationship to hit the rocks. But i did none of that and allowed my anger to take charge.Barrister Alan walked up to me, putting a hand on my shoulder. “Mark, son, I don’t know what just happened. I just hope you will resolve it soon. You know in your depth that they do not make she-wolves like Kate anymore. Make sure your anger is justified.” He made a grunt and excused himself.I sat down, pulling at the root of my hair. I expected Carl to say something, instead, he walked away not sparing me a glance. Lately, he has been quiet. I can’t tell what is going on in his head. I felt a part of my headache. Tears pricked my eyes painfully. I di
Kate’s POV“I wish I didn’t have to come here,” Kate whined to Karen as they got out of the car.The barrister had sent consistent reminders and put calls through to make sure she doesn’t forget how important her presence is. If she had other ways, she would have stayed back. Seeing Mark so soon after their last discussion, has her feeling on the edge.Karen wrapped her arm around me. “You will do just fine, Kate. Don’t let yourself be bothered.”I didn’t say anything as my thoughts kept jumping. My wolf also tried to make me feel calm but I just can’t ignore the anxiety. Does he miss me? Has he been as miserable as I am since things went sour? I wish things would work out between us. I am even willing to look over his cheating. All I want is for us to be back together. But I guess that might not work out as I desire.Alan had asked that we meet at the house. I really wish he would have made it his office. That might ease any form of awkwardness. But I could lean into Karen’s presence
Kate’s POVMy body felt cold when I eventually found the strength to get off the floor. The blood in my limbs must have dried up considering how heavy they were. I went into the bathroom and sat in the bathtub while the water filled up around me. What a day! I don’t think I was this drained and lost when my father died and Dame made me a laughing stock. I crumbled then, but this time it was pure hell. The tears I shed ripped my insides to shreds at every heave. I just couldn’t hold back. Everything I loved was crumbling right in from of me. I guess anyone in my shoes would have felt the same.On second thought, I feel like I deserve it. My greed is the reason I couldn’t let go of Charles and just focus on Mark. I wanted to have a taste of freedom and indulge in a bit of recklessness. It bites me really hard in the butt. It was just a little flirting and a little kiss. All the same, it was wrong of me. Mark has no fault even though he cheated too. But I pushed him to it.I can’t cry an
Author’s POV“He did what?” Lois blurted, spitting out the juice in his mouth.Karen sighed, twirling the glass in her hand. They had returned from the Diamond Pack with Kate looking like her entire world had crashed down on her. One can tell just how unhappy she has become. The sight of Davina in Mark’s shirt with a smug look on her face already gave away the clue that their visit wouldn’t end well. It was hard to keep Kate down from visiting Mark to plead with him. However, she understood her persistence and just had to drop everything she was doing to travel with her.Hearing Mark dismiss Kate because of his own guilt was quite disappointing. Left to her, he was undeserving of her explanation from the start. It seemed too easy for him to move on. Everyone is experiencing a hard time because of him. And it didn’t take him long to dip his dick into another honeypot. Since they arrived, Kate has locked herself up in the room, refusing to talk to anyone. It is quite troubling not knowi
Mark’s POVThe morning sun burned my eyes as I attempted to open them. After struggling for a while, I eventually sat up with my eyes wide open. Letting out a loud yawn, I glanced to my side shocked at the person with me. The memories from last night came back stinging me in the head. I gulped hard. What the hell was I thinking? If I was drunk that would have been a perfect excuse. But I wasn’t. Davina was not drunk too and I remember she kissed me first. Why didn’t I say no to her? Fuck!Easing myself out of the bed, I got dressed quickly and tiptoed out of the room, not sure I had the courage to face her. What would I say? And how will I explain what just happened? After claiming to be in a relationship, I ended up sleeping with Davina with my eyes wide open.Unable to contain my thoughts, I ran out to the woods as fast as my legs could carry me. My wolf appears to be having a good time mocking me. My head aches like I have a hangover. Last night blew my mind. All I could do after r
Mark’s POV“Aren’t you going to answer that?” Marilyn asked handing me a glass of lemonade. I took it from her, mouthing a thank you. Lois is the one calling and I have promised myself to not respond to any calls that come from the Redmoon pack. Not even Karen can talk to me right now. They all knew about the things Kate indulged in and none of them talked her out of it. They must have been having fun fooling me. How I got myself together and returned home is still a mystery. I had nowhere else to go and who to turn to except Marilyn. I arrived last night and remained glued to th
Kate’s POVThe room was silent like there was no one in it. If not for the occasional heavy sighs from Karen and Lois, one wouldn’t think there was life around. I just sat there, feeling empty. Mh wolf had gone quiet and nothing seemed intriguing to me at the moment. All of my insides were worn out. My limbs are so weak, I doubt I would be able to lift a cup or carry my entire body. I wish I got the chance to put an end to Dame’s life. He has been nothing but a pure obstacle in my life. Since I met him, he has made sure to leave a lifetime mark for every chance he gets. I have never totally healed from the pain he caused me. I felt a sharp pain at the back of my neck. My head aches so bad. The
