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.As soon as I hear what she said, anger envelopes me and the urge to slap Zach hard across the face surge through me. How did he even get here? I didn’t send him an invitation so how dare he? How could he be so shameless to show his face here? A lot of “how could he” is going in my head as I clench my jaw together.“How did he even get in here?” I walk to the door where Malachi is still standing, “I don’t remember sending him an invitation”“Calm down baby” Malachi turns to me, “remember you don’t need any stress right now”“He shouldn’t be here, malachi” I tell him, “how did he….He pulls me into his embrace and envelopes me there. Why the heck am I panicking? He is the one who committed a dirty act and showed up here, he should be ashamed and not me“Hey baby, you need to calm down” he whispers over my hair, patting my back lightly, “please”“You may leave” he tells her again and she closes the door behind her leaving the two of us.Malachi slowly pulls away from me bu
MALACHI’s POV.From the foot of the stage, I see her walk onto the stage looking so beautiful in her black body-con mesh dress with a slit running up her thighs. The dress is clinging onto her body perfectly, accentuating her hourglass figure. Her makeup is mild but looks so perfect on her and the red rouge on her lips make me want to pull her into my embrace and kiss her until no trace of that red lipstick is visible.My lips curl into a small smile as I continue to stare back at her, she is mine, my woman.The hall is already filled up, how I wish I could spend a little time with her before the show starts. She has been busy for most part of the day, same as me and we only got to speak through the phone.“Sister in law looks so pretty” Mason whispers into my ear and my heart swells with pride, I am glad that he is finally warming up to her.“I know right” I answer, “and she is mine to say the least”“Look at you being all proud” he says again and I smirk.My gaze returns to her agai
ODETTE’s POV.“Okay, good” I drop the fabric on the table as I stifle a light yawn, “make sure to have them produce these in much larger quantities” I tell the head of design, “we need to start working on the designs and I need all hands on deck”“Yes ma’am”“Good”It has been a week of work and I feel like my body is about to give up. Fashion week is just a week away and I am trying to handle everything. Dad said he would be back in three days since mum was fine now. Jayden was taking care of London’s fashion week and I am the only one here.Remind me to completely wash my hands off anything that concerns work when everyone comes back.“What time is it?” I ask again.“It’s past eight ma’am”“Wow!!”“Let’s revise the plan again and we can call it a day”“Sure ma’am, I will get everyone to the conference room”Walking out of the store room, I take the elevator to my office and my jaw drops when I walk in and I see Malachi seated on the couch, his attention on his phone.“You didn’t te
BRYER’s POV.She actually asked him to let me go and he did without saying anything. How did the two of them meet and become entangled? Malachi is mine and I can not just allow someone from the goddess knows where to come and take him away from me. How did the spell even break? She ensured me that we would remain mates forever so how did the fucking spell break?“Fuck this” I mutter under my breath as I angrily fling the phone on the bed. I have tried calling Malachi for what seems like ages but he didn’t respond nor did Mason. For Mason not to accept my call, it meant Malachi had already told him what happened.This isn’t supposed to happen, Malachi and I were supposed to have our ceremony and become official mates, how could this..My attention shifts to the door that has just opened and Zach saunters into the room with his phone to his ear, he looks like he is having an important call.He hasn’t asked me anything about how I knew Malachi and I am hoping he doesn’t ask. One thing a
ODETTE’s POV.The moment he opens the door and I saunter into the house, I come face to face with Mason who has a huge smile on his face and this makes me frown. Okay, so why is he smiling at me like that when he has never?“Welcome back, sister in law” he said to me and I turn to Malachi who is busy trying to stifle a smile.“Do you want some water?”“Okay, what’s going on here?” My eyes dart across the two of them, “why are you trying to be nice to me when we both know you don’t like me”“It’s not like I hate you, sister in law” he says again, “I just……Malachi told me what happened and I am really sorry about that. I didn’t…..“You told him?” I turn to Malachi who nods“Yes, he needs to understand”Sucking on my lower lip lightly, I return my attention to Mason again.“It’s fine, I didn’t expect you to just accept me on seeing me. I know you had a long history with Bryer and all”“It still wasn’t reasonable for me to act the way I did. Permit me to make amends to you, I
ODETTE’s POV.Seated on the bed, my whole attention is on the computer in front of me. I didn’t stay long in Texas after what happened because I had to rush back to oversee the company and I was too angry to stay with Malachi. I wasn’t upset with him, it wasn’t his fault and it wasn’t like anything happened. I even asked him to let Bryer go, to show her how much power I have over her mate. I didn’t realize our parts would become tangled one day and now.The intercom on the table rings out lightly, jolting me out of my thoughts.“Hello”“Ma’am” the receptionist’s voice filters through, “your husband is here to see you”“My husband?” A scowl settles on my face.“Yes ma’am”“Let him in”After a few seconds, the door opens up and Zachary saunters in. He is dressed in a navy blue suit that looks good on him. His hair is slicked back nicely. This was the man I was drooling over, the one who had my heart in a chokehold, the one I was ready to do anything and everything for.Looking at him
MALACHI’s POV.After reviewing the last document, I close the book before pressing my back against the chair, closing my eyes in the process. I had to fly back to Texas early this morning because something happened at the pack house I had to take care of. Apparently a rogue park attacked my pack last night and left a few injured people. I was tired of sending them warnings and maybe now I should teach them a lesson that it’s not all packs they can go to attack like that.A knock on the door makes me open my eyes.“Alpha” someone calls from outside.“Come in, Blaise!” I urge him and he immediately ventures into the room with a slight bow.Blaise is my beta and he is one good kid, very good if you ask me.“What is it, Blaise?”For a moment my mind drifts off to Odette. I already miss her, she couldn’t come with me because she has to take care of the company. I want to finish early and go back to her. Last night was so overwhelming for her and I still feel angry about it. The nerve of Br
ODETTE’s POV.Standing in front of the house I once shared with Zach as my husband, I am contemplating whether to go in or just go back.I don’t want to go back to the family house and I do not want to go back to a hotel. Going back to Malachi’s house is not an option, a lot has happened today and we needed time away from each other. I touch that spot on my neck and a sigh leaves my mouth.“Should we really do this?” My wolf asks me and I nod, it’s not like Zach is here and I need to get my things from here.Making up my mind, I make my way towards the house. Putting in the password, I jerk the door open and a sight as disgusting as shit greets me. I stumble back a few feet away from the mess in front of me. Zach, deep inside her having sex on the sofa right in front of me. What the actual heck? When did he even come to New York? A lot of questions are in my head as I continue to look at them, disgust clearly written on my face.The two of them turn to me and I can see the smirk linge
MALACHI’s POV.Everything happened in an instant and before I knew what was happening, my fangs were buried in her neck and my wolf howled in excitement at the thought of becoming one with her. I loved her and I didn’t try to stop myself from marking her even though she got upset and tried to tell her uncle and her aunt nothing about me.Why the heck was she so worried about the fact that I had a mate? Yes, I had a mate but that is my cross to carry and not hers but holding her in my arms now and kissing her, all my anger goes away until she pushes me off, her gaze on something behind me.I follow her line of sight and I see Mason there, he looked very mad and disgusted to say the least. Well, I can’t blame him. He loves Bryer and wants her to be his sister in law but he keeps forgetting about the fact that I do not love Bryer and I do not want to spend my life with her.“Why didn’t you call me that you were coming, Mason?” I ask him, an eyebrow raising in the process.“So you could t
