Chapter fifty: break me"This is my one and only nanny, the one who raised me while mama was chasing dollar bills, the one and only woman I would gladly give my life for. The....""Miss please, I'm not all those things."Karen rolled her eyes. Typical Beulah. "Please stop, you're making her uncomfortable." Karen said. The nanny was a woman in her mid fifties. She was tall and had entirely gray hair and kind blue eyes. She had a gentle smile on her face. Karen could feel her aura, and she felt relieved. This woman was one of the best left."Uncomfortable?" Beulah scoffed. "Please. She changed my diapers. How much more uncomfortable can that be?"Karen laughed. "You're gross."Beulah rolled her eyes. "Whatever. This is Amanda. Amanda, this is Karen my sister from another mother I don't know about."Amanda extended her hand to Karen. Karen shook her hand noting to herself how firm her handshake was. She also didn't miss how the woman looked at her with squinted eyes. "You have such a l
Chapter fifty one: revenge back The proposal event was only the tip of the iceberg of drama for the day. There was a meeting Kai had to attend. And for some twisted reason he wanted her to attend it with him. "But...I'm not your assistant." Karen tried to protest. She didn't know what he was up to now, it was so hard to read him."You're coming with me and that's final." He said simply. "You have fifteen minutes to meet me in the conference hall on the seventh floor."The seventh floor conference room was reserved for very confidential meetings and discussions. Karen had prior to this moment wondered what kind of discussions took place in that place. And today she was going to be part of it. On a normal day she would have felt elated. But being forced to attend it didn't count. So she only felt nothing.Fifteen minutes later she was in the conference hall. It was then she understood what kind of meetings took place here. Everyone in attendance was one of their kind, a werewolf.
Chapter fifty two: a taste of life"Oh my goodness!" Sonia gasped, clamping her hands over her mouth. "Who is this goddess that has graced our humble walls?"Karen smiled and do a graceful spin. "The goddess of life and happiness herself, Karen Osborne."Sonia giggled. "You look stunning."Karen looked down at her outfit. "Thank you Sonia."She felt brand new. She felt like a different person. She had swapped out her dyed black hair for her natural color. She had also taken the contacts out permanently. She noticed the black color made her more mature, but she was glad to be back to her original color. To her surprise, the work day went smoothly without Kai or Nicolas showing up and ruining it for her. The Moment she believed all was well, Nicolas showed up. "Wow, " He breathed. "What a change.""What is it?" Karen sighed, folding her arms. "Here," He handed her an envelope. She opened it and took out the card inside. It was the address if a very famous restaurant in the area."Wh
Chapter fifty three: pain and more headaches"Karen..." The way he said her name made her stomach fill with butterflies. She felt his desire for her pressing against her naked thigh, hard and hot even through his clothes. She whined softly, grinding agsint his leg in an attempt for friction.His lips moved from her throat to her neck, sucking hard on her spot.Karen sighed, her eyes fluttering shut in bliss. Kai sucked on the sensitive spot on her neck, the feeling making her grow wet by the second. His scent swirled all around her, he smelled clean and fresh, like the ocean after a rain. Karen held onto him, her fingers fisting into his long hair and tugging.She felt the table on her back, his hands trying to lodge her off him and onto the table. Dread filled her inside as she remembered the last time he had taken her, bent over a table.Her eyes flew open and she pushed him away from her. He breaths began to come out hard and fast,her chest rising rapidly. She stared at him, her ey
Chapter fifty four: resistanceThe only sounds Karen could hear were the sound of her nails on her keyboard.The next day had come around like nothing happened and Karen was determined to keep it that way. Just like nothing happened. On her way to get office she had bumped into Nicolas. and all she could see was him and Verena giving each other love eyes. It disgusted Karen. She types even more furiously. So many things got on her nerves of late. "Hello Karen," a voice drew her from her thoughts. Her head whipped to see Jasper. "Hello Jasper." She replied. She noticed his tie. "I like the new tie."He looked down at his tie, a shy smile on his face. "Oh thank you." He fiddled with it. "I got it after you said you liked patterns"Karen raised a brow. "That's ..very sweet of you."He blushed. "I um...yeah.. it is."Karen looked at him closely. In all honesty he wasn't a bad looking man. He was tall and had a slender build. His eyes were kind and he had a charming face in a high sch
Chapter fifty five: dinner with the enemyKaren sat across from Jasper, listening to stories of his childhood and all she could think about was Kai dragging her to the private room, about to ravage her in a way only he could.For goodness sake, it had to be even the same restaurant! It seemed like fate was playing games with her. Karen remembered he was talking so she smiled and drank some of her white wine. "You were a crazy kid growing up huh?" She said with a forced smile.Jasper laughed. "That and more. I was the terror of the house. How about you? Were you a good child?"Karen shook her head. "I don't remember most of my childhood. " Lies. Her childhood was too painful to recount. And she didn't ever want to tell anyone that story."How about your parents?" Jasper asked softly. He looked down at her plate. "You haven't eaten anything. Is the food not to your liking?"Karen shook her head. she squeezed her thighs together, her head filled with images of Kai. Kai and his stupidly
Chapter fifty six: alpha fever"Come home with me." Kai murmured"I..." The loud sound of a phone ringing cut her off. She sat up, recognizing the ringtone as hers. It was coming from outside the office at the Secretary's desk. "Excuse me." Karen said. She picked up her clothes and put them back on. Just like at his pack, getting dressed and leaving. She rushed outside the office and quickly located her purse. It was in one of the drawers. She took out her phone, her heart skipping a beat when she saw the caller ID.Amanda. "Amanda, hi." Karen said as she picked the call. "Miss!" Amanda voice was full of panic. "David is running a fever! It's not going down!"A fever? Karen's heart skipped a beat. Werewolf's had high immunity. Human diseases didn't affect them. So what could be wrong? "I'm on my way." Karen said. "You wait okay? Wait for me.""Should I call emergency.""No!" Karen exclaimed immediately. "I'm on my way right now okay?""Yes miss. Please hurry."She ended the call
Chapter fifty seven: golden skies"May I have a word with you?" Karen questioned, her eyes trained on Kai. He was standing by the window, gazing at th skyline bathed in the morning sun. He turned to her, a spark of annoyance in his eyes. Karen could tell he still recalled her rushing home last night because of her son and he was still bitter about it."How's your son?" He asked. "He's good. It was just a fever"He raised a brow. "A fever huh?" He asked, his eyes scanning her. "How old is he?""Four."He grit his jaw. "What do you want to talk about?"Karen drew in a deep breath. "It's about Verena."A beat of silence passed between them. His eyes narrowed. "What about Verena?"Karen bit her lip, unsure of how to word her next sentence. "I ran into her last night at the pharmacy and I...I wonder what's up with her.""Verena?" Karen heard Nicolas voice as he walked into the office. "I think I'm in the best position to answer that question."Karen turned to him. "Why is that so?" She t
