MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as Enzo walks out of the room, a slight sigh leaves my mouth. Who exactly is he and how dare he try to act like we are acquainted? The more I think about it, the more it makes no sense. What exactly is his motive behind coming to my hotel room and asking me to go with him to Los Angeles? My thoughts are interrupted when a hand prods me and I turn to see Lucy staring back at me, a bewildered look lingering on her face. “I didn’t know you had another man, Michelle” she tells me, “I almost thought my brother did a bad thing for leaving you, the ideal Luna and mate” her voice is full of enough sarcasm towards me. A frown appears on my forehead, I know exactly what she is trying to do. She is trying to guilt trick me into thinking I am the problem when her brother was the one who brought his ex-girlfriend into our home and even got her pregnant. I tried not to think about it but looking at the face of his sister, I get upset. For the longest time, L
NICHOLAS’s POV. Natalia Is sleeping peacefully on the bed while my gaze continues to linger on her. She is a complete replica of Michelle. Maybe because the two of them are siblings but the difference isn’t much. Even if I don’t want to think about Michelle, looking at her elder sister, I can not help but think about her. My musing is cut short when a soft knock resonates on the door and a frown appears on my face, who dares to disturb me at a time like this? Pushing my body out of bed, I walk to the door and throw it open. Lucy is standing there and she looks a bit upset which makes my forehead crease into a frown. “What happened?” I ask her, “why do you look so glum?” “I met with michelle” she tells me and the frown on my face intensifies, what did she expect me to do because she met with Michelle? Thinking about it, it pisses me off. “So what?” I glance back at Natalia and luckily she is still sleeping. I made her a promise not to talk about her sister again and Lu
MICHELLE’s POV. When the knock came on the door, my heart skipped a beat. I actually thought Enzo came back after the stunt he pulled. How can he kiss me like that and worst of all, I didn’t even push him away. I allowed him to kiss me for as long as he wanted before I finally pushed him away and sent him off. Maybe he is the one by the door and I am ready to give him a piece of my mind but as soon as I fling the door open, I freeze. It is not Enzo but Nicholas. How did he know my room number and why the hell is he in front of my door? My eyes darken at the sight of him, the nerve of him to show up in front of me after what he did to me. “Nicholas?” His name rolls out of my lips, “why are you here?” “Enzo?” He asks me, “is that who you are seeing now?” My forehead curves up, how does he know about Enzo? Oh, Lucy must have told him but even at that, did he even have the right to stand in front of me and ask me about a man he doesn’t even know? “You must have had
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
MALACHI’s POV.Walking into the room, I see my wife seated beside her sleeping father, her head on the bed beside him and seeing that she didn’t raise her head when I walk in, I know for a fact that she is sleeping. Walking gently towards her, I squat beside her before tapping her gently.“Baby”Odette stirs in her sleep and opens her eyes, a light yawn leaves her mouth.“Baby, you are back?”“Hmm” I nod, “I am back. Come, I will take you home so you can take some rest, okay?”“I don’t want to leave dad alone” she sounds adamant.“You are not leaving him okay? Kayden and Ayana are both outside. They will look after him till your mum gets back. You are pregnant, remember? You don’t need all of these stress right now”She lets out a sigh, I hate seeing her in this kind of situation. How I wish I was in her stead.“Okay? You need all the rest you can get now. I don’t want you getting sick in your condition, my love” I cup her face lightly and press a kiss against the tip of her nose, “pl
BRYER’s POV.I let out a little gasp as I push open my eyes but I am met with ultimate darkness and silence. The ground underneath me is cold and it is seeping through my skin. The last thing I remember was someone walking up to me when I was leaving the mall earlier and the rest is history.Who dared to do this to me? Who dared to capture me and put me in a position like this? Could it be Zachary? I ratted him out to the police and he is getting investigated again or it could be Odette. I mean, I harmed her father and landed him in this hospital. It wasn’t that hard to do since their cleaning lady had a gambling addiction, I was able to buy her off as soon as I talked to her but she wouldn’t have that time to have me captured right? Or was it Malachi? Did he do this?I have a lot of questions but no one to ask, not when this place looks like my nightmare. Wolves have the ability to see even in the dark but for some reason, I am unable to do that. What the heck is happening? Who was
ODETTE’s POV.Despite being upset with him, I can’t go against him and that’s why I sat my ass on the bed when he told me to.I can think clearly now, I went a bit overboard at the hospital but if I didn’t meet him, Bryer wouldn’t have come into our lives so my anger was a bit justified. I am going to find her and I am going to tear her into a million pieces, scatter her remains all over the world and make sure she regrets it for the rest of her life.The rain is still falling heavily and I wouldn’t be able to go back to the hospital anytime soon so I decided to call my mum and from the tone of her voice, nothing has happened yet.“The doctors are going to check him for the drugs” she says, “you shouldn’t worry too much, my darling”I sniff back a tear, this hurts more than anything I can even think of, “I am sorry mum” I tell her, “dad is in this condition because of me”“It is not because of you, my baby. Don’t worry, your father will be fine. You should make up with your husband, y
MALACHI’s POV.She cried, she had tears in her eyes and it was because of me and she was fucking right. Bryer came into her life because of me. It is my fault that Mr Philips is in this condition, it is my fault that my wife cried and even slapped me. For the first time since we got married, I didn’t go after her. Not because I am upset but because I know she needs some space away from me.“Fuck!!” I mutter under my breath taking a few steps back from the elevator door. My world has come to a fucking standstill. We were happy a few hours ago so what the hell is this?“What’s going on man?” Kayden asks, “what’s happening?”“We need to get the doctor now,” I tell him before turning to my mother in law. She looks so pale and my heart breaks into a million pieces again. It is my fault that everything has happened, I caused this.“Mum…” my voice trails off, I don’t even know what to say to her at this point. She could hate me too, I caused her husband to be here in the first place.“You sh
ODETTE’s POV. Right from Costa Rica down till when the plane touched down in New York, I didn’t say a word and I didn’t call any of my family members. I can’t lie, I was scared. I was scared of what they would say, I was scared that something had happened to my father and I didn’t want to hear it. I was so anxious that I wished we could reach sooner. One of Malachi’s cars was already waiting when the plane landed and in no time, we were on our way to the city hospital. That man, he loves me like a real daughter and never made me feel the absence of a real father. I don’t even know any other father aside from him. How can he come down with a heart attack? Father is not one to neglect his health so how is that even possible? I close my eyes and sniff back a tear, I feel like I am about to lose my fucking mind, I am about to go crazy. Malachi wraps his hand around my waist and pulls me closer and I let him. I rest my head on his shoulder and allow myself to feel whatever I need
MALACHI’s POV.Seeing my wife in that position gives me one of the biggest hardons ever but I don’t want to tire her out again so I only help her shower and put her to bed. She looked so beautiful moaning like that a while back, I wouldn’t be able to keep that image of her out of my head even if I tried.“Are you tired?” I ask as I cover her with the blanket.“Well, can’t say I am not” her face breaks into a small smile, “but I loved that, it was…adventurous, you could say that”I lean forward and press a kiss on her forehead, “now take some rest okay? I have some work to finish in the living room”“Don’t be long, okay?”“Of course princess”After another kiss, I finally make my way out of the room, switching off the light on my way out. I still have a hard on and I doubt it will reduce soon. The moon goddess knows how much I want her but I can’t be so selfish to do that to her after making her fuck herself and I watched.My lips tilt slightly, that image is going to be in my head fo
ODETTE’s POV.Swimming more laps, I finally pull my wet body out of the water as my face breaks into a smile. Malachi is seated at the foot of the pool, his eyes on me with a glass of red wine in hand. Ever since I got pregnant, he has refused to taste any kind of alcohol, he said he didn’t want his child to think his father is an alcoholic.“Aren’t you tired?” He asks me, his voice a mixture of warmth and love.“How about you swim with me?” I inquire with a pout, “the water is nice babe, the moon is beautiful. What more do you want? The night is perfect”“With you everything is perfect, my love” he tells me, a wink following suit, “you know that, don’t you?”My cheeks flush and my smile widens, this man knows how to make me smile without making an effort.“Come and swim with me, Malachi”“I am supposed to be keeping an eye on you, babe”“Come here, Mr man” I raise an eyebrow at him, “or I going to be mad at you”He lets out a sigh before chugging down his entire glass.Before I can s
BRYER’s POV.From afar, I see him taking a sip of his coffee. I know he wouldn’t want to see me now but if I want to get everything back, I need to get his trust back.I just need the right amount of words and pretense.Throwing the half cigarette on the floor, I squash it with my leg before making my way into the café. I have to do this now, I need to make a fucking move. I can’t just sit idle waiting for something to happen.“Mason!” I call out his name gently and he immediately springs up from the chair, anger written on his face.“What are you doing here, Bryer?”I glance at the lady beside him, the one from the salon. I didn’t know two of them were acquaintances, I could have gotten some information for free from her.“Miss Bryer” her face breaks into a small smile.“I didn’t know you knew him” I tell her, flashing her a smile, “Boyfriend?”“It is none of your business” Mason snaps before she can even answer me, “what do you want, Bryer?”I let out a sigh, he has his guards up mo
MALACHI’s POV.“Oh my world!!” Odette screams as soon as I push open the door to the cottage. Imagine the look of surprise and awe on her face when the plane touched down Costa Rica. She has been beaming smiles since then. A few days ago when we had that subway experience, she made mention of the fact that she would like to live normally and I decided to make that happen. Bring her to a place where no one would care about us and just be normal for a few days.I purchased this cottage two days ago and seeing everything, I am in love with it already. The three bedroom cottage which is a little away from the town, looks like something out of a fairytale with a beautiful lake behind and a garden full of beautiful flowers by the side. There is also a swimming pool in front of it, adding an extra layer of magnificence to the house. The former owner sure took care of it because it looks much more amazing than the photos I saw.“How did you even come across this babe?” Odette asks as we cont
