Kate’s POVThe meeting isn’t exactly going as desired. My eyes kept staring intently at each of them as if there might be a chance of me figuring out the one who had been messing with my peace of mind. It has become so tasking lately to get a good sleep. Every time I shut my eyes I am plagued by the bloody sight of my car. I had to ask for the car's color to be changed. Can’t risk having consistent fallback because of it. And there was Dame who sat like he owned the rest of us. He had come late to the meeting and for the life of me wouldn’t stop blabbing like he knew more than everyone seated. Could he be the one? Dame has many reasons as to why he could be the one threatening me. He wants his company so bad and hates that I am the one running it. To think a full-grown adult like him can’t be rid of pettiness. He reeks of it so hard, I wonder how anyone ever finds him attractive. My wolf howled in agreement. If there is one thing I wish so badly for, it is to have him ripped apart a

Kate’s POVLois was the one who came to bail me out. I couldn’t express myself as I wanted to because of how cold his face looked. So I waited patiently until he drove me home. Karen and Mark, including Carl, were waiting for me at the house. Karen ran towards me, asking a series of questions about what happened. All I could do was nod slowly. “Lois?” I called out to him. He halted in his pacing. “How many times Kate?” His voice sounded gruff and unfriendly. “How many fucking times did I tell you to stay the hell away from Dame? Didn’t I tell you he would only land you in a heap of trouble if you keep letting him get to you? Do you know what would have become of you if that lady had been injured beyond that? She is the daughter of an elder. If he wasn’t so lenient, Dame would have used that opportunity to get rid of you for good. How can you be so dumb?” “Lois!” I barked. “Don’t you ever speak to me like that again? You are not the one who has to do with sleepless nights. I am. Di

Author’s POVHis wolf panted amidst hitched breath. The only words repeating in his head were all that she said to him. Lois howled out into the morning sky feeling a certain ache in his chest. If he could have his way he would run to her and confront Kate again to ask where and when he had ever done her wrong since they became friends. He had known her the longest, yet she didn’t mind tossing him aside for the ones she barely just met. He ran for another few minutes, coming to a halt when exhaustion hit him. He went back to the house and had a bath. He couldn’t go to his house because of how overwhelmed he was feeling and spent the night at his mother’s.Patty had been waiting for him to come out for breakfast after he returned from the woods, but Lois seemed hellbent on remaining in his room. Sighing, she took his food upstairs to him, knocking lightly on the door while he got dressed. “What do you want mum?” He called out from within. “I am coming in.’ She replied not bothering

Mark’s POV“Karen don’t be stupid. Leave my perfume alone!” I yelled from the kitchen. Karen woke up this morning and thought the best thing to do to keep herself entertained was raid my room while I was eating for things that she could afford to buy for herself. “Hell nah. You stingy ass! You have so much money, yet you won’t let go of things. I am taking it. Do your worst!” She yelled back at me. “You are the silly one who doesn’t know what it means to keep her hands to herself. If anything goes missing I promise to hold you to ransom.” “Whatever!” I shut my eyes tightly, rubbing at my forehead. “How did I end up with that witch in my corner?” I asked no one in particular. Kate who had been quietly chewing her food chuckled. “The both of you are something else. I don’t think I have seen people bicker at each other as much as you do.” “That is because Karen is loose in the head. She is after my life. I just hope this homegoing wouldn’t be pure torture because of her.” I mumbled

Mark’s POV“How the hell did this happen?” I stared in disbelief at the slashed car tires and broken windshields. “Why would anyone do this?” Lois put his hand on his waist, cursing under his breath. “Kate can’t see this. She would lose her mind.” “Wait a minute. You think this was done by that same person?” “Definitely.” “Whoever it is has gotten very bold from the last time. I can’t believe this is what we have to deal with. We have to call the police.” Lois shook his head. “No, we can’t let Kate know. She is already depressed by the death anniversary.” I sighed tiredly. “That’s true. What do we do?” “We have the car fixed before we take it back home and also check the CCTV around. Let’s not talk about this to anyone else. It should be between us.” I don’t know if I can keep it to myself for long. But I didn’t say that to Lois. “Okay, go get the footage. I will call the car shop.” While Lois went to check the cameras I leaned against the car waiting for it to get towed. We
