Noelle “Kira?” I called walking towards her room. I met her mother downstairs and she told me that Kira was in her room.Malcolm already left for work and it was so boring being alone at home, so I decided to drop by Kira's place. I first went grocery shopping before coming to her place.It had been three weeks since the divorce drama and what could I say? Everything was going great. My marriage and relationship with Malcolm. Dad had calmed down a little bit and Mom even invited us for a family dinner that was coming up the following weekend.“Kira?” I called again, stopping by her door. There was no response and I couldn't help but wonder what she was up to. Her mother already told me that she was inside. Seeing that I got no response, I opened the door and walked into her room.She was not in, the big room was empty. I was about to leave when I heard noises from her bathroom. So I decided to check it out.Opening the bathroom door, I walked right in. “Kira?” I called softly. She wa
Noelle “I'm really worried Malcolm,” I sighed as he placed a glass of milk in front of me and then came to stand behind me as he began to massage my shoulders. “About what? Didn't you meet Kira?” When I got home, he was already home, and seeing how tired I looked, he decided to make me a glass of milk.“I did and seriously something is going on with her.” I pointed out and Malcolm's brows furrowed. Picking up the glass of milk, I took slow sips from it. But it tasted so strange in my mouth that I felt like throwing up.“What exactly?” “I caught her taking drugs.” I sighed. Wondering what could have pushed her to do so. She looked so distant and distraught. She didn't even hear me come into her room. What exactly was going on with her? “Drugs?” There was surprise in Malcolm's voice and he came to sit beside me.“Yes, drugs.” I replied, pushing back the urge to vomit.“Didn't she stop taking them like a year ago?” His brows furrowed and I slowly nodded. Everyone knew about her addic
Noelle “Here?” He pointed at my abdomen and I nodded. Its there. I wanted to get a tattoo there. Just a simple one.“That's your abdomen.” He uttered in a low and careful voice.“I know. I just told you that.” I stated and then turned to face Max who was arranging his tools.“I want a–” “There's no way I'll allow a man to touch you, Mon Fleur, especially not there!!” He suddenly said, dragging me back and my eyes flew open. Seriously? It was just a tattoo. Max was only going to draw a tattoo there, nothing else.I jerked back, startled by his outburst. "What's wrong? It's just a tattoo!" I pointed out in disbelief.His eyes blazed with intensity, "I don't care. No man touches you, especially not there."I tried to shake off his hold, but he wouldn't let go. "Malcolm, stop. You're being ridiculous."His face darkened. "Ridiculous? Do you think I'm being ridiculous? You're mine, Noelle. And I'm fucking not going to sit back and be comfortable watching a man touch you.” Oh shit. Again
CHAPTER ONE NOTE TO READERS THIS IS THE BOOK TWO OF PREGNANT AFTER ONE NIGHT WITH THE LYCAN KING, BUT CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE. ....... NOELLE The mansion boomed with excitement. The maids and guards moved about hanging up decorations in preparation for Malcolm's marriage. After handing the last basket of flowers to the maids, I found a corner to sit. Ahead of me was the brown-haired devil that graced my dreams and messed with my senses, leaning on the counter in a seductive pose, teasing his fiancee, Emery. I could feel the fake smile I had managed to plaster on my face all day slip off. My chest clenched as I watched her giggle and hit him playfully. A cruel reminder that she was the only one that could occupy his heart. They had been together for three years now and during that time, I had to constantly remind myself that I had no business falling for Malcolm. He was everything I couldn't own. Tall with a lean muscular frame. Charming grey eyes, curly b
NOELLE “It's not what it looks like,” he blurted desperately. The words got me even more agitated. The audacity of this male to pull his dick out of a woman and deny it before me. “Fine, go ahead and explain,” I crossed my arms. I was curious to hear what excuse he would come up with. “I… I … she seduced me! I was on my way to the mansion when she walked in…” he stopped, realizing his excuse did not make any sense in the least. Falling to his knees, he grabbed my hands, “Please forgive me, Noelle. I love you…” I yanked my hand from him in disgust. “I've had enough of this nonsense. I mean what was I expecting when I gave a wild dog the chance? I, Noelle Adlen, reject you, Mykel Henshaw, as my mate!” I spat, storming out of the room, ignoring his pleas and cries of desperation. There was a dull ache in my heart as I returned to the car. My wolf was hurt. I let my head rest on the steering wheel as I thought about how miserable my life was. The man I loved all my
NOELLE I paced around the room, unsure of what to do next. The maids all stared at me as they waited for me to come up with something, to them I would be their savior. I couldn't help but wonder how Emery had left with all her things the night before the wedding. Or did she leave with them this morning? How come no one saw her? Wasn't she in love with Malcolm? They both agreed to get married, so why did she leave? The more I thought about it, the more confused I got. The door slammed open and I turned around immediately, Kira walked in. “What is wrong? Why isn't Emery ready yet? Your mother is blowing my ears with complaints downstairs.” For her to come over here, all the way from the hall meant things were about to get seriously fucked. From the urgency in her tone, I knew that the guests were already getting impatient. I immediately ran to her, holding her hands in mine. If there was going to be anyone that held a solution, it was going to be her.
Chapter 4 NOELLE He blamed me. He hated me for ruining his wedding. The anger was still in his eyes and I wished I could turn back the hands of time. But even then, I was sure the situation would have been worse. He would fall into a deep depression that no one could bring him out of. I didn't expect him to proceed with the wedding. With all the whispers from the crowd and the apparent hatred he harbored for me, he did. People had come from far and near to witness a wedding. He was going to give them that to save face. After the wedding, I knew it was my only opportunity to talk to him. I could hope he would listen to me. “Mal..” I called, just as he walked into the house. He turned to me in a fit of rage. At the ceremony, he was confused and hurt. Now he was just angry. Furious. “Where is Emery?” He demanded. I swallowed thickly, stalking backward in case he launched at me in anger. “I don't know. This morning we couldn't find her and…” “You know what
Chapter 5 NOELLE I always imagined what it would be like living with Malcolm. Now, he was going to take me to his home, I wanted to be anywhere but there. I wanted to stay back here, where my parents could protect me from his cruelty. But they didn't see any reason for me to be anxious. Especially since Malcolm wasn't raging anymore. But I saw right through the act. It was just a front to keep my parents from realizing his true intentions. He respected them so much since they practically raised him. He didn't want them to feel disappointed that he wasn't going to treat their daughter right. My stomach twisted in a pit of dread as we arrived at his mansion. I could only imagine what awaited me behind those walls. Once we got in, he didn't even bother to talk to me and headed upstairs. I remained downstairs, waiting for him to return and possibly show me to my room if I had one. I didn't think he would want me sleeping in his room. The mansion was incredib

Noelle Malcolm did me wrong by asking his friend to hold me back as he took those men away. I totally understood his plight and was very much aware of how he was hurting. Finding out that your sister knew your ex was cheating on you was big news and enough to get him angry.I was fucking worried about him and seeing him covered in blood made me more worried. I know he took out his anger on the men, they would be so lucky if he left them alive.“You're not angry?” He asked in a slow and careful voice and my brows furrowed. I muttered in confusion, “Why would I be angry?”“Because I left and asked Kai to hold you against your wish.” He replied and I chuckled softly, caressing his back as we hugged.“You needed something to pour your anger on. Feeling better?” I then asked, hoping he felt better and less angry.“Yeah. I killed them.” He uttered under his breath. They were not so lucky after all. “And Mykel.” He added and my mouth formed an oh'. Finally! Mykel finally died, he'd been p
Malcolm “What are you doing? This is sick!!!” The other man suddenly yelled, frustration laced in his voice as I chuckled. “You can ask him.” I pointed at Mykel. “He'll confirm that I'm really sick.” I added, collecting the knife from Kaid. I was sick. I didn't think when it came to Noelle. First of all, I was already fucking pissed because of Millie and they just added salt to the wound. “Enough of playing around.” I stated, grabbing him by his chain, I tilted his head up and drove the knife right through his eye that he was trying so hard to keep closed. He wailed loudly more than ever, his blood splattering on my shirt and hand. I dragged out the knife, his eye following suit. Forcing his mouth open, I pushed the knife into his mouth, leaving his eye there before bringing out my knife. “Now you're officially blind.” I announced, kicking him to the ground. “Hope you're enjoying the show Mykel?” I smiled at Mykel who only rolled his eyes at me. He still had his fucking pride wi
Malcolm “Malcolm!” Noelle shouted as I charged at the other man, pummeling him with punches. His friend was already lying half dead on the ground, bloodied and battered. I made sure to give him a good beating and his friend was going to get the same.“Malcolm. Stop this madness.” Noelle screamed in horror as Kai held her back from running towards me. He knew better than to let her go. I was fucking angry and needed something to pour my anger. Those fuckers were the perfect outlets for my pent-up anger and I was going to make sure to pour it all on them..“Kai, let me go now. Can't you see he's getting hurt?” No, I wasn't hurt. My fists were stained with blood, their blood, not mine. I didn't feel any pain, all I felt was bloodlust, the need to kill the men who stared at my wife inappropriately.“Kai, your keys.” I panted standing up straight, releasing the bastard I was beating up in the process, his limp body falling weakly to the ground.Kai nodded, reaching out of his pockets. He
Malcolm Like Emery cheating was not enough, Millie also fucking knew about it. She was my fucking sister and if she knew the lady I was marrying was cheating on me, she should have told me. We are siblings for fuck sake. Kai had to be mistaken. It was just not possible. Not in any fucking way.“You've got to be mistaking Kai. If Millie knew, there's no way she could have hidden it from me.” I stated in a deadpan voice. It was fucking not possible for her to hide such a thing from me.“I spoke to Callum directly, Mal. He and Millie were always fighting in their relationship and Emery was the main cause of it all. Millie is too problematic and he feels more peaceful with Emery. He claimed he loved her so much and is still mourning her death. He thinks there's no way Emery would have committed suicide.” I thought as much. She was never the type to decide and kill herself.“Emery ran away from the wedding because she couldn't bear to be with you when she loved another man. She didn't wan
NoelleI stood in front of the mirror, getting dressed to leave for the bar with Malcolm.As I stood in front of the mirror, getting dressed to hit the bar with Malcolm, I slipped on my red halter-top dress. The fitted bodice hugged my curves, and the short, flirty skirt would surely turn heads. I paired it with black heels, adding a few inches to my height, and finished the look with a bold, silver necklace.My long, ginger-red hair cascaded down my back in loose waves, and I swiped on a bold lip color to complete the look. I'd been planning on booking an appointment at the salon so I could straighten my hair. I preferred it straight. I could do it myself, but I didn't want to get tired halfway.Just as I was finishing up, Malcolm walked into the room. His eyes scanned me from head to toe, filled with admiration."Wow, you look incredible," he said, his voice low and husky as he slowly approached me.I smiled, feeling a flutter in my chest. I loved hearing his compliment. "Thanks, Ma
Noelle I moan into my pillow as I wake up the next morning. My whole body ached, like literally everywhere. Sex with Malcolm was like discovering new things, like discovering new places in my body that I didn't even know existed. “I'll see if we can meet up, later. In the evening. What do you say?” I heard Malcolm's voice. That was what woke me up in the first place. The sound of his phone ringing.“Send me the address. See you.” I heard a beeping sound after he ended the call. The bed fumbled and I felt his hand around my naked waist under the bed covers. He cleaned me up after fucking me last night. I was too tired to keep my eyes open, but I could feel the softness of the wet cloth on my body before I fell into a deep slumber.I don't know why, but I kept my eyes closed and pretended to be asleep. I felt his hot breath on my neck, his hands on my pussy which he began to stroke slowly with his finger. Feeling his hot breath and his skin on mine already got me wet in a matter of se
