She got up and started walking around, trying to find a way out so that she could have everything. Respect and Caricature. The men Ryan would bring to Adam would be more grateful to him than to her, even if she offered them heaven. She could no longer trust anyone there. Perhaps she could infiltrate humans there who would devote their loyalty to her, but she knew that wouldn't solve her problem.
She went to the window and saw that the garden where she had been married was so clean, as always, that no one would know there had been a wedding there. As she was leaving the window, she saw Caricatura and remembering his hands on her body and his authoritative, furious voice, she felt her vagina become lubricated.
She hurried out and found him picking something up off the floor, and approached him.
"Good afternoon... I missed you at lunch..." She said amiably.
Caricature stared at her, with the herb he had just plucked from the ground in his hands, and remained silent.
"We could be lovers... Without anyone else knowing..." She proposed.
"Why shouldn't anyone know? You're safe in this mansion. Everyone knows you're a slut, and they won't spread the word."
"I need to be respected, Caricature, to have a voice as Adam's wife. And if you keep doing... That, it won't be possible."
"There's no going back. Everyone knows you're a slut. Even if you stop giving your ass to everyone, their opinion won't change. You'll never get the respect you're asking for in this mansion.
"Adam will make them respect me. But only if I stop..."
"The boss keeps his word. Then stop."
"I can't. I can't think of giving up your calloused hands on my soft body."
Caricature stared at her with an animal glint in his eye. Without saying a word, he pulled her into a corner near the wall, forced her onto all fours and gave her, and himself, the pleasure they needed.
Night came and Kate was happy. She had been right all along. Caricature could give her the pleasure that more than one man could. He proved it that afternoon. And she also had an idea for Adam to give in to her will and make them respect her.
Kate made her way with renewed confidence to the dining room, and all the faces she wanted to see were gathered around the table. Ryan, Alexandre, Caricature, Jenna, and of course, Adam. She walked confidently to her seat, and without greeting anyone, sat down. No one seemed to notice her presence, as they were chatting and laughing while they ate and drank, and continued to do so after her entrance.
She waited until everyone had almost finished their meal before saying what she had spent hours planning.
"Well... I'm really glad you're all here, so you can hear what I'm about to say." She said and turned to Adam, who was staring at her indifferently. "If you don't force your werewolves to maintain their respect for me and obey me, recognizing that I am your wife and therefore enjoy the same authority as you, I will divorce you, claiming that we have been together for many years, and I can assure you that I have the two witnesses who will confirm this, as well as photos dating back years, and I will take half of your fortune and all your assets. I know you don't want that, but if you don't do what I say, I'll file a lawsuit against you tomorrow. And as well as being entitled to half of everything you own because of the marriage, I'll also take what's left of it from you. I'm going to hand the will over to a judge, who you can't buy, threaten or find. You told me earlier today that it was all or nothing, and I want it all, Adam. But everything. "
Adam leaned back in his chair with a disturbingly calm countenance.
"So, I have a lot of people to share my assets with... I know more than a thousand people who have lived with me since my childhood. I didn't know that would give them the right to part of my estate..."
"I understand your sarcasm Adam, but you're forgetting an important detail. We got married." She said and showed him the ring he had put on her finger. "And beyond the witnesses, this serves to prove that our relationship goes beyond childhood friendship." She said, feeling victorious.
"Kate, Kate, Kate... Always wanting to take a step too far. You know I only don't kick you out of here now because I still have a certain hateful sense of guilt about you, and someone told me that your life depends on you staying in this house. Which is obvious, because I can't let you leave alive, knowing the secrets of the Werewolves, right? But have you ever thought how easy it would be to end a problem like this? Just kill you and bury you in the garden. If anyone came looking for you, I'd say you were traveling in Europe. Or with your legs spread in a brothel."
"You're wrong about that too. My lawyer has proof that you're a criminal, a murderer and a mafioso. I've even sent him proof of some of the killings. You yourself have provided me with this proof, with your strange pleasure in recording while you torture people. If I don't call him within an hour, you'll spend the rest of your life in jail, or in hiding. What's a jailed Alpha worth? You'll be the shame of your race. I don't think any Alpha before you has ever been arrested."
She said triumphantly and looked at the faces of everyone present.
Everyone was shocked by Kate's audacity, and the atmosphere became tense. Adam still stared at Kate, looking debauched and calm. He waited a few minutes and then turned to Alexander. Everyone had lost their appetite.
"Alexandre... Go into the living room and do what we agreed before the wedding."
Alexandre left without saying anything and went to carry out his orders.
