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 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 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 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

Chapter fifty nine: enemy baseKai pulled away from Karen, a small smile on his lips. She felt a bit sad that he had to leave. But it was his party after all and it would be considered rude if he didn't show up. "Have fun," Karen whispered and put her hands down form his neck. She tried to smile but failed. He touched her cheek, his thumb caressing her skin. Karen held his hand and pushed him away. He gave her one last look before he walked away. Karen wanted to go home. She stalled for time, and a few minutes later she turned and headed downstairs to join the party. She got herself some water and drank it. Searching the crowd fo Beulah, she spotted her dancing without a care in the world, a wide smile on her face. Karen wished she could have as much fun. She walked out of the house and towards the back. She was surprised to find a garden. Kai didn't strike her as a garden person. She sat on one of the benches, a slow sigh leaving her lips. She leaned back and stared out to the n
