Kate’s POVJust like before, my treacherous wolf collapsed before I could make it to the mouth of the woods. Not me being against myself. My body and wolf are so weak, it might take a month or two to heal properly. Marilyn caught up with me and held me down. The tears had me blinded for a second. I just want to disappear from the face of the earth and never have to experience this pain anymore.“You bitch!” Judith growled, putting her hand on my face.The slap stung my cheek like tons of needles were in it. I don’t think my face has ever been this assaulted in a span of one hour.“How many times have I told you there is no running away from this? Why are you being such a fool?” She kept rambling, raising her leg in an attempt to kick me.Marilyn stood up to her this time. “That’s enough, ma’am. You can see she isn’t in the best state of mind. Also, Mr Mccatty would not appreciate your attack on his woman. She is no longer yours to talk to whichever way you choose. I will take her in a
Jean’s POV “This can’t be happening!” I repeated the words severally to myself like there might be a chance for this nightmare of a reality to disappear. What! How did I get so carried away? This isn’t right. My mother will have my life if she ever gets to know me. My hand shook hard as I held the test strip in hand. This was not the plan. The intention was to ruin Kate, not end up muddled in the mess. It's almost a month and I am only knowing now. My greed and envy have pushed me to the edge. Sleeping with Kate’s mate was just a bid to take everything that made her happy away from her. For someone who grew up without a mother, Kate always appeared like someone who has it all in life. Not even the maltreatment from my mother could stop her. She was too fierce and contented, which drove me nuts. Most importantly, she had the kind of beauty any wolf would die for. It wasn’t much of a surprise that her mate happened to be the Alpha of Redmoon. However, it didn’t change the fact that
Dame’s POV“What the hell is this?” I bellowed, watching the phone screen in shock.Quadruick glanced around as if there was someone else to respond to me and it wasn’t him. Angrily I flung the phone at him and it hit his nose before falling to the floor.“You fool. What were you playing at?” I glared at him.Lance walked in with a hand in his pocket. “Do you intend to dent the poor boy’s face? Quadrick?” He called out and winced at the bloated nose. “I think you need to see a nurse for that. Would have loved to ask you to go home, but there is a lot to sort out here today.”I sucked my teeth. “Oh, please. I do not want to see his face. He can go home or wherever else as long as he stays out of my way.”“You heard him, please go home and take enough rest. I will have something wired to your account to get better.” Lance said.Quadrick did a slow bow and mumbled, “Thank you.” Before leaving.I almost couldn’t wait for Lance and me to be alone before I blurted. “Can you believe this, La
Dame’s POV“Care to explain this?” Elder Nicholas breathed the minute I stepped into the meeting hall. He had his phone pointed at me.My eyes watered while I watched with a calm demeanor. “What is it this time?” I queried settling into my chair.Lance stepped forward to take the phone from him. “Increase the volume.” His father ordered and he did as told.“What the fuck?” Lance blurted a bit too late before remembering that he was in front of the elders.I tapped my fingers angrily on the table as my eyes twitched in response to the sound from the phone. Everything I had just said a few minutes ago was being said loud and clear like I had gone for a recording session. I cracked my neck to keep the stiffness away. That witch of a lady, Judith, must have recorded me. Either her or Jean herself. Those wretched paupers. I should have known nothing good would come from them.The elders gave me a cold look when the video stopped playing.Elder Karl snorted, shaking his head. “Just a few we
Kate’s POV“Wow!” I exclaimed at the kitchen space.It is more than enough to make a comfortable room. All of the rooms in this house are large enough to contain over ten people. I have been resting since I arrived here about a month ago. Jake insisted that I needed the rest to recuperate from everything that I had gone through. For the first time in my entire life, I got to know what it feels like to be treated like royalty.Food is brought to my room at the right time and they even go as far as stocking up the fridge for anything sweet that I might like. It feels like heaven. Jake’s hospitality has left me no room to think or feel shallow. My wolf has recovered from the pain our doomed mate had caused. I already made up my mind to not make my past a part of this new journey. But one thing is sure. I will get back to every one of them.Even though I am a bit doubtful of Jake’s promises, I am choosing to lean on him. After all, he has kept his promise of not desiring to sleep with me.
Kate’s POVThe presence of Jake’s son and his lady made me a bit uncomfortable. I wonder if Jake would be angry at the way I had spoken to his future daughter-in-law. The last thing I want is to get on his bad side. He has been nothing short of nice to me since I arrived here. And I want that to remain so. My wolf felt restless as soon as I rounded up the cooking.Jake has an expanse of land with the mansion in the middle. I don’t think I will ever be able to get to the end of it. But then, it makes running in the woods a thrill. I don’t have to worry about being cornered by any rogue. The entire woods are guarded within the walls of the house. Feels luxurious.Letting my wolf loose, I ran without stopping. Most importantly, I need to get the troubled thoughts in my mind away. Something keeps pinching my mind. What if Mark doesn’t like me and he convinces his father to let me go?“But he has no reason to not like you.” My wolf interjected.I crouched low underneath an oak tree while r
Dame’s POV“What the hell!” I hissed as the bright light burned my face. Lance had put on the light switch which I had intentionally left to enjoy the dark by myself.Lance sniffed and settled on the couch, staring at me. “You shouldn’t be here, Dame. You have a wife now.”I rolled my eyes, grabbing the almost empty bottle of whiskey and chugging it down my throat. Never in my entire life have I been this distorted. When the Elders announced that there would be a wedding ceremony for myself and Jean, I thought it was all out of anger. The pack members went wild when I refused to go ahead with it. Some of the clan leaders came by the packhouse to make complaints about me.This is the problem with letting mere folks have freedom. They would start to think too highly of themselves and start misbehaving. Like a joke, a wedding was planned and I saw myself next to Jean being pronounced husband and wife. My wolf is already in a silent battle with me over the rejection of Kate. I didn’t thi
Jean’s POVThat bastard! He didn’t even care that I was carrying an innocent child in my belly. Tears lingered in the corner of my eyes. I never should have told my mother about the pregnancy. It would have been easier to get rid of it than to live under the same roof with a monster like him.It's been over three days since I last saw him. The purple mark on my neck from his rough bite seems to be getting deeper with each passing day. I hate myself for being so weak. It is more annoying that I was almost in the same position as Kate. My wolf couldn’t even help me out. Being the Alpha gave him too much leverage over me.I have too many regrets for choosing this path. But then, it feels too early in the game to start out poorly. Everyone knows me to be a tough cookie. I didn’t even get broken when my mum’s numerous boyfriends came at me before she got married to Kate’s father. Even though I never showed interest in him, he was a good person.I can’t live like this. I am not a weakling,
