Malcolm“Shit! Shit!” I cursed as Kira and I knelt beside her unconscious body. She shifted to her wolf form and fell unconscious.“Noelle. Jesus, she's bleeding.” Kira shrieked and my eyes landed on her abdomen.Fuck! Fuck! She was stabbed.I quickly tore off a piece of my shirt to place on her wound, so I could stop the bleeding and reduce the chance of her getting affected.“She's still breathing.” Kira breathed out after checking her pulse.Fuck! I was scared. I was horrified. Nothing better happened to her because there was no way I was going to live without her. Shit! What was life without Noelle?“She was poisoned,” I announced after observing her wound. Whatever was used to stab her was poisoned, a blue tint spread across her abdomen. I had to get her to the pack immediately or she'd die. Fuck no.“What are you going to do now?” Kira asked, taking off her coat which she draped around Noelle. I was already straddling her in my arms as I knelt down. Her breathing was faint, she
Malcolm I stumbled through the hospital doors, Noelle’s limp form cradled in my arms. Two hours of running under the full moon had taken its toll, but I didn't care. Getting her help was all that mattered. Making sure that she was safe was the only thing on my mind as I ran through the woods.The bright fluorescent lights overhead stung my sensitive eyes, but I squinted through the pain. Nurses and doctors rushed toward us, their faces etched with concern."Help her!" I growled, my voice barely a whisper. Fuck I was exhausted. But I made it. She was still breathing when I arrived at the hospital, though her injury got worse. The poison kept spreading.They swiftly took her from me, whisking her away to a treatment room. I collapsed against the wall, exhausted, my body trembling with the aftermath of running nonstop.My body trembled with pain, sweat dripping from my brow and soaking my clothes.I recalled the feel of her limp body in my arms and the way her hair streamed behind.Ever
Noelle Was I still alive? I died, right? I groaned, feeling a sharp pain in my head. Everywhere hurt, every part of my body ached badly.I was alive. From the pain I felt, I knew I was. No one feels pain after death, right? I groaned, fluttering my eyes open to see the white ceiling.Another soft groan escaped my lips as I managed to look around, I was in the hospital. Someone saved me.I wanted to lift my hand, but I realized I was fixed on an IV. Another groan escaped my lips and I managed to sit up from the bed.Fuck! My head was banging. It felt as if it was directly hitting it on the wall.Taking a good look at the hospital room and perceiving the familiar scents and sounds, I knew I was home – back within the pack's territory.But how? I was still lost in my thoughts when the door opened and I breathed in relief to see Kira walk in.“Noelle!!” She exclaimed, dropping whatever she was holding to the ground as she ran towards me.“You're awake.” She sighed in relief, gently wrap
Noelle It has been four days of hell for me. I seriously had no idea why I was still living. I cried throughout the day Kira broke the news to me. No one could calm me down so Garrett had to sedate me.When I woke up, I resumed crying. My parents came to see me and they tried to console me but fuck no, I just couldn't calm down. The pain was just too much to bear. It felt like someone was clawing out my heart. And Malcolm? I haven't even seen him either. Not even a glimpse of his face. Each time I asked Kira, she would say he was wandering around and had refused to come in.Why? Why had he refused to come see me? I broke down crying after she told me that and it took another round of consolation.I had lost a lot of weight, my lips were dry and I looked extremely pale, but none of that mattered to me, I just wanted to go back in time and get a chance to save my babies. I just wish I could.“Mom, she's awake.” I heard Noah's voice from outside as he soon walked into the room.“You're
Malcolm I stood in front of Noelle's room, wondering if I should go in or not. Seriously, I was not in the mood to see her and talk to her. I was very angry and disappointed when I heard the news. She was pregnant.Fuck! I should probably go in and talk to her, now none of her family were hovering around her. It was already nighttime and they were all asleep. Noelle was awake, she probably couldn't sleep.I should go in, I needed to go in and get the answer to the question that has been bothering me.I opened the door slowly, entering the room. She was there. She sat on her bed, reading a book.“Ki-” she paused as her eyes widened at the sight of me.“Malcolm.” She called a look of surprise and relief on her face. Thank God she was fine. That bastard Mykel was already paying for what he did. He had been doing a good job of taking all the anger and frustration that I poured on him.“So you've finally decided to come see me.” She chuckled sadly. She was pale and had lost a lot of weig
Malcolm I had no idea how long I was sitting in the hospital lobby. Minutes? Hours? I fucking lost count of time.I was still trying to process a lot of things because they were all fucking messed up. So messed up. I messed things up. She didn't cheat and the pregnancy was mine, she never told me because she obviously didn't trust me enough to tell me or rather, she didn't want me to be a part of it. And now I found out about it, it was no more.How messed up was that? My blood boiled at the thought of that. At the thought of Mykel. I spent the last few days torturing him, but whatever he received will never be able to make up for the life of my unborn pups that he took. He already lost an ankle, three fingers, and five of his teeth. That was fucking not enough. He was not going to die, not yet. I had not even started with him, not to talk of being done.I was going to tear him limb by limb.“Are you okay?” I heard a soft voice and I lifted my head to see the face of one of the mos
Malcolm “Where's he?” I asked Kaid, the moment I stepped down from my car.“In the cell.” Kaid replied. He worked for me, helped run a few errands, and had been keeping an eye on Mykel whenever I was out.I got a call from him that Mykel was throwing a tantrum, so I came.“He tried to kill himself.” He informed me and I paused.“I told you to keep an eye on him.” I suddenly turned to face him in anger.“I'm sorry boss. I only left for a few minutes and when I came back he tried using a fork to choke himself.” Kaid explained and I scoffed.Bastard. He was going to try all he wanted, but he wasn't going to die, not until I said so.“Did Garrett come?” Kaid nodded and I smiled in satisfaction.Once he was tortured, he would get treated. I wouldn't want him succumbing to an infection, he already had too many wounds.“And boss,” Kaid called, when I was about to go into the dungeon where Mykel was kept. Noelle's father allowed me to use his. Of course, I wouldn't keep a dungeon in my home,
Noelle “Mom, Dad, I'm fine.” I said for the millionth time as my parents followed me into my room.“You're sure?” Dad asked with worry in his eyes.“Yes, Dad, I'm good. I'm absolutely fine.” I smiled at them, hoping to persuade them that I was okay.I finally got discharged from the hospital.“I don't want to come in to see you crying.”“Mom,” I called, holding my mother's hand.“Trust me, I'm good. I'm going to be fine. You both need to rest.” I assured them. I was really feeling better. I still felt a little bad each time I thought about what happened but I was going to deal with it. It would only take time.“If you say so.” Dad finally let out a resigned sigh.“Good night.” I waved at them.“Come on love. You look so tired.” Dad said to Mom, circling his hands around her waist as he led her out of the room.I let out a deep breath, sitting slowly on my bed. I've missed my room so much. It was just as I left it. “My phone.” I muttered. Dad said it was with Malcolm when I asked abo
Noelle The moment we drove into our compound, I saw a car parked there and my brows furrowed in surprise as the car was a strange car. It was not Malcolm's. In fact, his car was also packed. I knew he was back, but it was quite obvious that someone returned with him.“Come out kids.” I gestured at the kids after I stepped out to open the car door for them. They all stepped down happily from the car.“Mommy, is daddy here?” Remi asked the moment I closed the car door shut.“I think so-” I had not gotten to give her a reply when Jamie yelled as he began to run into the house.“Uncle Kai!!” Kia was here? My brows furrowed and I didn't even get to stop the girls as they began to run after their brother. I slowly shook my head as I went into the house. Kai, he knew Malcolm was alive and even though we met, he never mentioned a thing and acted all natural and sympathetic towards me. When he knew fully well that my son and husband were alive. I walked into the sitting room, to see a strang
Noelle “Mommy, are we really leaving today?” Brie asked as I slowly nodded my head while watching as the maid placed the last bag in the car trunk. Malcolm already told the kids that we were going back home and that he was going to move in with us. So of course, they were all delighted and were so happy with the new development.Bastard. He knew that I would not be able to say no to the kids, that was why he used that means and the triplets were all so eager to get us to start living together. They had been asking Malcolm multiple times to move in as they weren't so satisfied with him coming and going. “Yay!!” Brie exclaimed as she started jumping happily on her feet. A small smile played on my lips as I watched her. Her siblings were already in the car and I could hear their voices from where they stood. They were both arguing about something. “Go join your siblings. I'm coming.” I bent over to reach Brie’s height as I whispered to her ears the moment I spotted Liam walking toward
MalcolmI was feeling a little bit disoriented, and then I decided to go for a walk. The whole hallway was empty and there was no one around. They must have probably gone to sleep. I was sure that everyone was tired after the party. The party was really draining and I myself was tired, but I needed some time to think and I just couldn't do that by sitting on my bed. My head wasn’t a mess. I couldn’t think straight, so I decided to take a walk, that was when I heard voices.I wondered who it was, but the voice sounded so very familiar. It sounded so much like Noelle. My wife and it seemed like she was struggling with something or rather someone, so I decided to check it out.My eyes widened the moment I saw her with Liam. His hands were on her shoulder and he kept leaning towards her as she tried to push him away. He Was trying to kiss her forcefully. My eyes widened in horror and I immediately ran to where they both were. I didn't stop for a moment as I yanked Liam away from her, the
Noelle Dang it! I was fucking exhausted and my head was literally spinning as I took the kids to bed. It had been a really long day and it was so very late. The party was a blast, after my conversation with Malcolm, I tried my very best to put a smile on my face as I celebrated with my kids. The day was about them after all. I gave them the gifts I got for them, same with everyone as they also shared out the presents they had got for their friends. By the time we were done, everyone was already very exhausted. Remi had fallen asleep just when the party was almost over, so Malcolm took her upstairs so he could bathe her and take her to bed. I took Brie and Jamie upstairs immediately after as well. I then ran a shower and placed them in bed, along with their sister. While Malcolm immediately left the room, I stayed back and just sat watching the kids. They were growing so well. So healthy and cute. I couldn't help but remember the day I had them, they were so very little and a
Malcolm I took in deep breaths as I walked into the party hall. Everywhere was filled with kids running around and then a few parents. The air was joyous and though things didn't go the way I planned, I was glad that Jamie got to celebrate his birthday with his sister. He looked so happy and the fact that he couldn't run around as he wanted because of his injury. It prevented him from doing what he wanted. I had no idea where Noelle was, I just left her there, because I could not bear to be in her presence anymore. The best thing to do after telling her everything was to leave. I stood by a pillar as I watched the kids play around and from time to time, my eyes would land on the entrance. I was waiting for Noelle. I couldn't help but wonder what she was up to. It was never my intention to hurt her, but like I said, a lot of things never went the way we wanted. I was still glancing from the party to the entrance when I felt a presence. I looked to my side and was surprised to see
Noelle What the hell was wrong with him? Malcolm kept doing whatever he wished, whatever he felt like doing and it was so fucking frustrating. He walked away? Where did he even think he was going when he had yet to clear things up?“Malcolm!!” I called after him, the music sounds coming from the birthday hall, getting more faint. “Where do you think you’re going? Stop right there and talk to me. Stop being a fucking coward.” I yelled after him as he just kept walking away. “You think I’m being a coward?” He suddenly stopped as he turned to face me. “Then what are you? You’re a fucking coward Malcolm. It’s like you keep forgetting that you are the head of our family. You’re still my husband and the father of our three kids. Do you think you can just run away from your duties by faking your death? Huh??” I asked as I angrily stomped my feet on the ground. I was fed up. With him and everything, I was fucking fed up. “I was not running away from my duties Noelle.” He uttered as he too
Noelle It had been two days since Jamie’s accident and today was finally the day for their birthday party. It was going to take place in the evening and Jamie’s cast was already off. He was already walking, but he still limped and mom assured him of moving and sometimes the girls. Malcolm also helped as he spent a lot of time with the kids. I knew that he would never have stayed over if not for Jamie’s request. He only stayed because of him and he had been doing a good job in avoiding conversation. If he was not in the room, he was in the kid's room and he was skillfully avoiding a conversation with any of us. “Are Jamie’s friends on their way?” I asked Malcolm who was standing beside me for the first time in two days as he nodded. I looked around the hall and what could I say, my father did a good job in the decorations. The room basics transformed, bathed in soft evening light. Twinkling fairy lights shimmered like stars, while colorful balloons cast long shadows. The "Happy Bir
Malcolm I still knew my way around the house and only a few things had changed over the years. I went straight to Noah’s room and luckily for me, he had not chahed the room. As I arrived there, I knocked on the door and I could hear the steps of a person approaching. The door opened immediately after, revealing Noah’s face. He scoffed the moment he saw me. “You still have the guts to show your fucking face. You’re lucky that Brie and Remi are inside. I badly want to punch you. You deserve it for cosying up somewhere while my sister and mother were suffering your death.” He fired at me and I refrained from saying anything to him. It was not like I had anything to say. “I came to see Brie and Remi.” “Of course you do.” He drew out in sarcasm as he stepped out of the way. “You’re a heartless coward. If Noelle hadn't met you by accident, I know you would never have bothered to come back and you would have kept hiding Jamie from us.” I did not reply to him as I walked into his room.
MalcolmGetting a call from Noelle that Jamie was injured was definitely not what I was expecting. I seriously did not expect her to suddenly call me. It was so unusual and I could only guess that something was not right when I saw her name on the phone screen. And I was right. How the hell did my son get injured?I immediately stopped the work that I was doing. Running out of my office, I went straight to my car and sped off to Noelle's parent's place. She had told me that they were currently there. And seriously, it was not my plan to meet her parents just yet or any of her family. I was not ready to face Layla. Not in any way. As I got down from my car, I raced towards the house and I noticed the strange look the guards kept giving me. I totally ignored them as I went into the house. The moment I got to the sitting room, I saw a man there. Liam. The man that Noelle was getting engaged to. He was in their house. I felt a pang of jealousy as I saw him, but I said nothing and just a
