ENZO’s POV. As soon as I drop the call, my lips curl into smirk while my attention is drawn to the leather bag on the passenger’s seat. After I left her house earlier, I went back to doctor Mandy to know a few more things about her and with my own intuition, I was able to decipher a lot about her. My kid sister who is six years younger than me is also a vegetarian wolf. She could hunt down thousands of prey in one night but on the days when she is in her human form, Izzy hates meat. The moment I got close to Michelle, I knew that was her kind of person and for her salad? I genuinely do not know how I got to know about it. It just clicked my mind and I got it, was my wolf sense becoming more extreme? I thought only wolves who are fated to each other could know what the other person is thinking? My thoughts are interrupted when I see her walking towards me clad in a knitted scarf and a loose pair of pants which does not do enough justice hiding her hourglass figure. Her h
MICHELLE’s POV. I don’t know exactly why I trust the words of Enzo so much but there is something about him. Something that makes me trust him even if I haven’t known him for a day. I am not sure what it is and what it could be but deep inside my mind, I know I can no longer go back to the time when I didn’t know him. In no time, I am sitting on the passenger’s seat of his black Audi which he speeds through the busy night of the city. This is the first time I am actually observing the city I have lived in for years and it really looks beautiful. All my life; i just preferred staying at the pack house with aunt after my parents died and I only came into the main city when I needed something and i go back immediately. I never for once stopped to admire the city I lived in maybe because I have lived a sheltered life all my life but looking at it now, I realize how much I have missed, how much I should have known but I couldn’t. Even after my parents died, Nicholas continued to
ENZO’s POV. I see how Michelle’s face gets red and I scoff, she is just too funny even on a hospital bed. Earlier when that pain enveloped her, fear actually gripped me and I lost all sense of reasoning but seeing her smiling and joking around now, I feel a lot better. I actually don’t know what the moon goddess is planning but the lady in front of me is definitely something else, something I would like to get closer to more than this and I am going to make sure of that. Her pain, her heartache, her sadness and her anxiety, I want to get rid of everything and anything that makes her sad and upset. “Stop staring at me like that” Michelle says after a while, “I don’t want to be too close to you” I chuckle lightly, I love the fact that she is trying to act hard to get, it makes me want to be around her the more. My mobile begins to ring again and the look on her face changes which makes my smirk widen. Is she being jealous right now? Thinking about it, it kind of make
NATALIA’s POV. Nicholas has been gone for most part of the day because of the wolf hunters that were caught a day ago. Life at the pack house was getting better and everything was on track. This was the life I wanted, this was the life for me. The life that my little sister stole from me. Speaking of little sister, I had asked someone to find her for me but no one knows where she went and that was better. It was a good thing that she disappeared from our lives for good, I couldn’t stand her anyways. Now under the tainting sun of the city, I am seated at the foot of the im swimming pool with a bottle of champagne beside me and my favorite music blaring from unseen stereos when one of the workers walks up to me with a slight bow. “Someone is here to see you, Luna” she announces and my forehead creases into a slight frown. I am not expecting anyone and Nicholas is not back yet, that I am sure of. So who has come to see me at this time? “Who is it?” I ask her again, “who
MICHELLE’s POV. My mouth hangs open in awe as Enzo opens the car door for me. The mansion in front of me looks like something out of a fairytale. Every detail, every extravagance is unique and I can not help but marvel at it. The Middlemist Red Camellia gracing his front lawn catches my attention and I can not help but be wowed. This flower is one of the rarest flowers and Enzo has it in abundance and not to mention the beautiful mansion that looks like a chapel. The one who designed this house must have spent years coming up with the best design. “You look impressed” his voice filters into my ear and I jolt out of my reverie of thought before turning my head towards him, my eyes didn’t miss the smirk on his lips. He looks proud. “The house is really beautiful” I tell him, “of course I am impressed” “This is the only building you will ever find like this, Michelle” he tells me, “one of a kind” “Hmmm” My eyes catch the attention of the two people walking
ENZO’s POV. After I leave Michelle alone in the room, I briskly make my way towards the study. Izzy and Xavier are already waiting for me and the look on both faces tells me this is more than an abduction. Diego wants me to unleash my full wrath and he will not like it. “She settled in fine?” Izzy asks as I lower myself on my favorite reclining chair. “Hmm” I answer with a nod before turning to Xavier, “tell me everything that happened” “Hakeem and Melisa had gone to the mall and that’s when it happened. Here” he drops his phone in front of me, “Diego sent me the video” I pick up the phone and look at the video, my eyes darken at the sight of it. From the look of things, Diego has planned this for a long time now after what happened some weeks ago. “What do you think we should do, Enzo?” Izzy asks me, “we can not leave Hakeem and Melisa with them, those two are part of our best soldiers” “I will talk to Avra” I finally answer and her forehead creases into a frown.
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as Enzo kisses me, something reverberates over my body. I am not sure what is or what it signifies but I am sure it is definitely something. Something that will change my entire life forever. I don’t push him away, I allow him to hold onto me and deepen the kiss. Maybe this is what I need, to finally get rid of the thoughts of Nicholas away from my head. For three years, I stayed loyal to him but he didn’t bat an eyelid before getting my sister pregnant. I no longer care about him and I am going to do me starting forward. With this at the back of my mind, I snake my hand around Enzo’s torso and deepen the kiss. We continue to kiss and hold onto each other. His hand cups the small of my back and our tongues dance in sync. For a while, I am lost in his world. In the beautiful world he has shown me just in a day and now for some reason, I want to remain in that world and allow him to take care of me in my mess. After a few seconds, Enzo slowly pu
ENZO’s POV. With my back pressing against the chair, I let out a heavy sigh. I have not slept a wink since yesterday night. After feeding Michelle dinner, I helped her to bed and came back to my study. I have a lot of work to finish off and it is taking a lot of time. I have two surgeries scheduled for the next seven hours and some pack issues I need to take care of. Just a day away from Los Angeles and my table is packed full with work. My musing is interrupted when my mobile begins to beep. At first I want to ignore the call but on second thought, I pick up the phone and my eyes darken at the sight of the caller. The nerves!! I click on the receive button before pressing the phone against my ear. “Why have you called?” “I am in front of your house Enzo” Avra’s voice filters into my ear, “let’s have a talk” “The nerve of you to show up in front of my house, Avra” I growl in anger, “how dare you?” “You can do what you chose to me Enzo, I really need to see you”
ODETTE’s POV.When my husband pushes the door open and walks into a room, a frown immediately settles on my face when I see him. He doesn’t have a bruise on his face but I can feel it, he looks tired and a bit worn out.“What happened to you?” I ask him immediately and he comes to sit beside me but instead Malachi pulls me to a hug and rests his head on my shoulder. I allow him to do that, he clearly needs the hug but that still doesn’t stop the fear I felt when I saw him a while back.We stay like that for a while until he finally lets go of me but our faces remain only an inch apart.“Are you okay, babe?”“Hm” he nods with a gentle smile, “I am fine, my love”“Are you lying to me?”“Why would I do that?” He asks me, tucking a few strands of my hair to the back of my ear, “I just had a boxing match with Zachary”“What?” The frown on my face intensifies, why would he even do that? This is unlike Malachi to want to indulge my ex husband more than necessary. Is something going on that I
ZACHARY’s POV.After the call, I push Bryer off of me and pull my half naked body off the bed. After the security led us out of the gala hall last night, she was so upset that she decided to down in alcohol and I ended up going with her. I didn’t want to leave her alone lest she caused another kind of trouble for me. I am still trying to figure out a way to get out of this one. I thought Odette would be happy when I told her but I seem to have forgotten how stubborn that wife of mind is.After drinking her life out, I brought Bryer to my house and we ended up having sex. Sex with her isn’t as exciting as it was from the beginning when everything was fined when I had Odette wrapped around my fingers and I could get her to do anything and everything i wanted. I guess it was the thrill and the adrenaline of that time that kept me going. Now everything felt bland and upsetting. I can’t wait to get my wife back and have my life in order again.“Where are you going?” Bryer asks as she pulls
MALACHI’s POV.By the time I am done with my wife, she looked so exhausted but so fucking beautiful. I want to take a picture of her looking this way and frame it. Hair tangled, sweat glistening her body making her look more sexy. I would give anything to continue seeing her this way but I can’t tire her out more than necessary. She is pregnant, I need to take that into consideration.“I am so tired” she manages to say, a smirk on her face.“Sorry baby” I brush some strands of heir to the back of her ear, “I will take you to have a shower okay?”With that, I pull out my phone and send her gynecologist a message before returning my focus to my woman.“I want to go home, babe” she whines, a pout on her lips.“Of course not babe, you need some rest okay? I have a meeting so I will come to pick you up after then, okay?”“Fine” she didn’t even have the energy to argue.Pulling her clothes down to cover her naked body, I gather her up in my arms before making my way out of the examination r
ODETTE’s POV.I don’t stop walking until we get to the car, Malachi behind me. I shouldn’t have let her go, I shouldn't have just slapped her. I should have dragged her by her hair and used the heels of my shoes to smash her fucking face. How dare she? How dare she think she can even think of hurting my family? The more I think about It, the more upset I become.“Babe?” Malachi gently grabs a hold of my hand, “calm down”“How can I fucking calm down?” I grit my teeth in anger, “that bitch..how dare she think she can do as she pleases just because I let her be? Who the fuck does she think she is?”“Do not forget that you are pregnant babe” he tells me again, “can you take a deep breath for me? Please?” He gently cups my face and I let out a sigh. I know stress is not good for the baby and I am trying so hard not to be so upset but I fucking can’t.“Let’s just go home babe” I finally tell him but before we can make a move, I see dad walking towards us.As soon as he comes to a halt in f
ODETTE’s POVFrom where I am seated, I see my husband take the stage and my heart swells in joy. Dressed in a custom made three piece suit and his hair pulled back in neat bun, the smile on his face will forever be etched in my heart. He looks proud, he looks happy and I am more proud of him. Survivor filmed for months and I saw him give his full commitment to that project. Days when he would go to the set, days when he would be on call for hours and days when he actually looked frustrated. But today, he looks happy and I can’t ask for anything more than for this smile to remain on his face.“Good evening ladies and gentlemen” his voice resonates in the entire hall, “it is good to have you all here, taking time out of your busy schedule to be here today. I really appreciate all of you and thank you”A round of applause leaves the room as his eyes settle on me, did he just wink at me from upstage? My cheeks flush and I stifle a smile, this man will surely be the death of me.“As you al
MALACHI’s POV.“I am sorry alpha” he continues to beg but I promise him that that’s the last thing he will ever get to say. Giving wolf hunters details about my pack and I lost seven pack members because of him. It is a sin, one I am not going to forgive even if the moon goddess comes down.“I am supposed to be with my wife” I start talking, rolling up the sleeves of my shirt, “I am supposed to be taking care of her and our baby but I am stuck here with you because you chose to be a fool. Now you can’t blame me for what has happened, okay?”“Please…The words hang in his mouth when I slap him hard across the face and blood pools out of his nose.“I hate injustice the most, Alec” I tell him again, “and you made a very big mistake doing that, you know right?”“I am sorry”I grab a hold of his neck and fling him across the room, his body falls down with a loud thud and he groans in pain.“I lost seven pack members because of you” I grab a hold of his neck again and push him against the w
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning mum” the two of us air kiss before she helps me to sit. After Malachi left for Texas this morning, I decided to come stay home until he gets back. It was not a decision I made on my own, he made me promise to come back home to my parents until he gets back and I did. It’s been so I decided to come see my parents.“Where is dad?” I ask mum.“He has a meeting in his study” she replies, “let me make you some soup. You can go and say hi to him”“Okay mum”I watch her walk towards the kitchen before I also walk towards the elevator. They have a lot of servants but mum always prefers to cook for us and for dad. Dad has practically stopped asking her not to go to the kitchen. Anything to make his wife happy.As soon as I push dad’s door open, his face lights up and a smile spreads across it.“Who do we have here?” He asks, removing the glasses that is perched beautifully on his face. This man, he can give other older handsome men a run for their money because wha
BRYER’s POV.He has gone against everything that I believe in, my love and my hatred for him. He killed Rome, the only person who saw me as family in this damned world. He killed him and sent his body to me. For this, I will make him pay. I love him but he has made a mistake, a mistake that I will never be able to forgive. Maybe this is what we need, becoming arch enemies.I didn’t bat an eyelid taking the battered body of Rome to his front door. I want him to always remember what he did and how Rome looked when he died. I want Malachi to always remember that he is a murderer and he will pay for what he did. I love him to death but I also hate him in the same way.“Malachi!!” I continue to yell out his name, not caring if he is sleeping. I mean, how can he sleep? He killed one of his kind, he must face the consequences of his actions and I will take my revenge on him. Up until now I have been holding back because I love him and I want to be with him but now I am going to make it my li
MALACHI’s POV.For the rest of the night, I can’t even keep my eyes off of her. She looks beautiful, so extraordinary, like someone straight out of the painting. Everything on her body is spectacular and she can give every fucking model a run for their money.When we entered the restaurant to have dinner, I couldn't help but notice the waiters ogling at her like they wanted to eat her whole but they were wise enough to keep their stupid fantasies to themselves.“How did you enjoy dinner?” I ask her on our way home, a huge grin on her face.“Well” she shrugs, “it was good but the most exciting part is that I got to spend enough time with you today. I mean I loved every single moment of it. Thank you so much baby, I really appreciate everything you do for me”“Well, I live to please” I pull her closer and press a gentle kiss on her forehead, “now we have to get you home and Into bed. You need all the rest you can get okay?”“Of course my love”Odette leans into my embrace and closes he
