ODETTE’s POV.As soon as he opens the door and my eyes come in contact with his, my breath hitch. I remember how his lips felt on mine hours ago, the feel of his body against mine and the way his ragged breath fanned my face.I spent four hours in this room but just one look at him in his robe and I feel my whole body heat up again. But I shouldn’t be thinking about him in this way, he has a mate and I do it, I did but that doesn’t change the fact that this is wrong in all ramifications.Clearing my throat, I step out of the room onto the hallway but he doesn’t move an inch, his huge frame towering above me.“How do you feel?” Malachi asks, his gaze on me.“Better” I lie. Of course, I don’t feel better. I want the fucking ground to open up and swallow me whole but wait, has he always had these kinds of eyes?“Odette?” His voice jolts me out of my thoughts and I let out a sigh.“I guess I should leave now” I tell him.“Stay for dinner” he tells me.“No” I immediately refuse, “I don’t
I immediately pull away from him, I genuinely do not like the way my body is reacting to his touch. I shouldn’t be feeling that way with another man ever.“I have to go” I grab my bag and rush out of the house, no, I can’t let that happen.I don’t even give him an opportunity to come after me because the moment I get to my car, I zoom off before he appears in front of my car again.As soon as I turn on the main road, I bring my car to a halt before letting out a huge sigh.What the hell was I thinking agreeing to stay for dinner and even agreeing to stay and do the dishes with him? What the hell was I thinking letting him kiss me? What the heck was I thinking letting him touch me and letting my imaginations run wild.Zach will be so disappointed in me, how can I let that happen? A wolf is bound to its mate for the rest of its life so why the heck did I allow another man touch me?I press my head against the headrest and close my eyes, this isn’t right and this shouldn’t happen ever ag
ODETTE’s POV. I wake up to the sound of Zach talking into the phone in hush tones, a slight frown appears on my face as I pull my body to a sitting position. This has been going on for days now, he talks into the phone late in the night and he always looks worried. Grabbing my night robe, I pull out of bed and make my way towards the balcony. The moment he sees me, he immediately ends the call and plasters a fake smile on his face. “What’s going on, Zach?” I ask him. “It’s nothing princess” he replies, “sorry for waking you up, you should go back to bed” It is clearly a lie, I wish I could read his thoughts just like he reads mine but I don’t know why he blocked me out. I can neither read his thoughts nor even know what’s going on in his mind. “What does that even mean?” I ask again, “since you got back, you have been acting strange. Tell me, what’s going on with you, babe? Is there an issue at the pack house?” “No, not that” he answers, “Zuni is doing a good job in my ab
ODETTE’s POV.Getting a hold of myself, I walk into the conference room again and now, father is the one talking. I try as much as possible not to glance at Malachi again because I know his fucking gaze are still on me.Flashing a smile on my face, I sit near Zach and he gently grabs a hold of my hand under the chair, a gesture which makes my lips curl up and from the corner of my eyes, I see Malachi’s face tense up.“You took too long,” he whispers to me.“My strap came off”“Well, ladies and gentlemen” father’s voice reaches my ear again, “we have listened to what Zachary has said, so do you have anything to say concerning that?”Everyone is silent for a moment until I see Malachi gently rise from his chair and my eyebrows hit my hairline.“Well, eight hundred million dollars is not a small amount of money Mr Zachary, so what’s your guarantee that you will be getting this project after getting this money? Well, permit me to say this, I am not a full member of the board of Avanti an
ODETTE’S POV.A week later.I am seated in the room in the pack house, Zach has gone for a meeting with a few of the pack members. Apparently they are a few wolf hunters that have been invading the pack and luckily a few of them have been caught.Last week, we were able to secure the deal, the money was given to Zach and now we are waiting for the feedback from the investors. Dad and mum left a few days after then and we talk everyday, mum is fine and I know for a fact that she will live. She is a strong woman, she didn’t crumble the first time and she won’t crumble now.The pack house is beautiful but everyone seems to walk on eggshells with me and Zach. For the past week we have spent here, I have seen how ruthless Zach is. His word is his law and I see how swiftly he gets things done. I can’t help but be proud of him the most, I always knew he was going to be a force to be reckoned with. Now the only thing we need to do now is focus on our lives and our future. My thoughts are int
MALACHI’s POV.I wake up feeling a bit uneasy and I don’t know why. Nothing seems to be the problem, the pack house back in Texas is okay. My little brother is fine and everything at work is pretty good so I genuinely do not know why it feels like something is wrong but i can not place it.I have been angry for a while now, seeing that her husband is back and she seems so happy with him. It’s not like I want her to be sad but I don’t just know why the moon goddess is trying to mess with me in this way.My phone vibrates and Bryer’s name pops up.We haven’t spoken in a week and I was enjoying my peace and quiet.Clenching my jaw together, I finally pick up my phone.“Hello”“If I don’t call you, you won’t call me Malachi” she says from the other end.“I have been really busy,” I tell her.“How am i supposed to know that when you wont even let me into your mind”“Why did you call?”“Let's have dinner together, Malachi” she suggests again, “I am coming back to town today and I really li
ODETTE’s POV.By the time I open my eyes again, I am on a soft bed in a semi dark room with rain splattering on the window. Letting out a sigh, I gently pull my body to a sitting position as the thoughts of what happened a while ago becomes fresh in my head again. Not only did Zach and that lady inject me with wolfsbane to weaken my wolf, he forcefully took my blood but he couldn’t take the venom because I couldn't transform, he also forced me to sign the divorce papers.Now thinking about it, tears well up in my eyes. This must be how mother felt when dad served her divorce papers. I mean, I loved him and gave him everything he ever wanted, how could he betray me like this and all for what?The more I think about it, the more I find it hard to believe that he would do that to me. That is Zach, my mate, my husband. How could he look me in the eyes and treat me the way he did.Leaning forward, I switch on the bedside lamp and I almost have a heartache when I see the man seated on the
MALACHI’s POV.Watching her finally fall asleep, I let out a sigh of relief. She has cried so much that it broke my heart and I don’t know why. I don’t particularly want to see her in pain but I don’t know why I am more concerned about her though.Her wounds are slowly healing and I am glad about that.Standing up from the bed slowly, I switch on the bedside lamp before making my way out of the room and shutting the door behind me.Walking back to my favorite chair near the furnace, I lower myself on as the thought of Odette winds its way into my head again. She was in so much pain and I could see it. I genuinely want to sink my claws into Zach’s chest and watch him die slowly.The mobile on the table beside starts to ring and seeing it is my assistant Emily, I immediately answer the call.“Hello”“Sir” her voice filters through, “we have a problem”“What happened now?”“We are unable to get a hold of the male lead that is supposed to take part in the movie, “survivor” we have called
BRYER’s POV.I angrily smash the vase on the ground and watch it shatter into a million pieces. As if that is not enough, I grab the other porcelain vase and smash it again. How can Malachi do this? How can he get married to her and that too, everyone has been talking about it. Every news house, every blog, every newspaper, everyone on the internet has been talking about Malachi Bromte’s mystery wedding.It should have been me, I should have been the one standing beside him and not that good for nothing bitch.“Fuck!!” I yell at the top of my voice, anger enveloping me. I refuse to cry, this can’t be happening. No!! Tears start to stream down my eyes. It should have been me, I am the one fit to stand beside him and love him. I have worked so hard for him to see me, for him to acknowledge me as his own but he chose some rich heiress. Didn’t he see that I also worked? I worked hard to make him see me, like me, he even became my best friend so how did we get here? How did he look me in t
ODETTE’S POV.Being in his embrace feels like a lifetime of happiness and joy, I can’t imagine myself in the arms of another. Malachi has my heart and he has it for all of eternity.How didn’t I even see through his façade of planning a ceremony for us. He didn’t even mention anything about it even by accident but I love it, I love the surprise it came with and that’s why I am tucked in his arms trying to pull myself together. I don’t even know what I am going to do without this man in my life.“Okay now?” His voice cut into my train of thought and I nod, pulling away from him.“Malachi Bromte” I start to speak, “today before our family and friends, I vow to give you all of myself, my hope, my dreams, my forever. I promise to love you fiercely, to stand by you and support you in everything you do. I promise to be your sanctuary, your biggest cheerleader and your fiercest protector” I pause for a moment, the emotions are overwhelming, I can’t believe I am standing in front of everyone.
MALACHI’s POV.Seeing her cry, seeing her shed tears made me so upset and how I want to bang both their heads together for making her cry.“Is that the best you can come up with?” I ask the two of them.“What did you expect?” Jayden chips in, “she is so loved up when it comes to you, she wouldn’t even leave the house”“Even though, using aunt as bait is not something I agreed to”“Well, sorry about that” Jayden says, “but you must not know, mum is sick too. She was at the pack healer since. She told us not to tell Odette because she didn’t want her to worry about her”Before I can respond to him, Odette bursts out of the hall running towards me.“Babe” she comes to a halt in front of me, an excited look on her face, “dad, mum..“Calm down, honey” I gently cup her face, “okay?”“It’s a fucking wedding ceremony baby” Odette beams, excitement written all over her face, “the hall, it’s our ceremony and it’s..“You like that?”“Of course” she looks so happy, so fucking happy, “I fucking li
ODETTE’s POV.The moment my mouth comes in contact with his erect dick, Malachi shudders, clinging onto the wall. This is the first time I am doing this and seeing how he is reacting to it, I am sure he loves every bit of what I am doing to him.I circle my tongue around his tip and bite down on it a little, making him groan. I love the way his body is reacting to me, I love that I have so much power over him.“Babe!” He rasps out, his toes curling. I continue to suck in his erect cock while beads of sweat pour down his body. He looks so good, I can ogle at this man all of my life and I won’t feel any regrets about it. The more I suck, the more his moans and his groans reach my ears and I love every sound he is making, it’s like music to my ears.He gathers a handful of my hair in his arms and rake his fingers through it, I fucking love it.“I am going to cum” he managed to say, his whole body vibrating in my embrace.I increase my pace and In a few minutes, he spills his warm liquid
MALACHI’s POV.I didn’t say anything to her until she is safely seated in the car, away from public eyes. This wife of mine doesn’t even care about anything. How could she go there without informing me? What if something had happened to her? I was in a meeting when her assistant called me and told me about her whereabouts. I genuinely do not care about what the public thinks of me, only my wife matters to me.Immediately the driver zooms off the premises, I let out a huge sigh tousling my already disheveled hair.“Are you okay?” She asks.“Hmmm” I nod, “I am fine”“You don’t look fine though..“Stefan” I call out to the driver, “go to the hospital”“Okay, sir”“Are you sick?” Her voice becomes laced with worry.“I am fine, babe”She opens her mouth to say something but decides against it. This wife of mine needs to know when to take care of herself first before anyone. I appreciate her standing up for me but then again, I wouldn’t want her to become an object of public ridicule.A few
ODETTE’s POV.The door to my office burst open and my assistant hastens into the room. This gesture of hers makes me raise my from the documents I am reviewing.“Don’t you know how to knock before barging into my office?” I ask her.“I am sorry for barging in like this ma’am” she immediately apologizes, “but I think you need to see this”She hands me the iPad which I collect and my forehead creases into a frown the moment I see find content. He is having a press conference and still accusing my husband of what happened? Yes, I know Malachi is responsible for that but how did Zachary get to know about this?”“Is the conference still on?” I ask her.“Yes ma’am”“Good, get the car ready”I am not going to allow him to tarnish my husband’s image in this way.Five minutes later, the car is on its way to the venue. Luckily it is not that far from Avanti so I actually reach in fifteen minutes but the security personnels at the door won’t let me in.“Do you know who I am?” I ask them.“You do
ZACHARY’s POV.“Fuck!!!” I fling the phone across the room and I watch it smash into the wall, shattering to the ground with so much intensity.How dare he? How dare he do this? I know no one else would do this and In a time like this. How can they all decide to pitch their tent with him and before I am able to comprehend that news, Blossom headquarters caught fire. I can swear on my life that all this is Malachi’s doing. He is trying to push me to the wall and see how I am going to retaliate.My second phone starts to ring but I ignore it, I am not even in the mood to speak to anyone at the moment. I plop down on the couch and bury my face in my palms, this is when the front door opens again and she saunters in.“I thought you left?” I ask her.“Rome called and informed me about what happened, I couldn’t leave” Bryer comes to sit beside me, “I know how your anger works, it is better for you to not be alone”“I don’t need you to come take care of me, Bryer. You should be on your way”
BRYER’s POV.Dropping my phone on the table, the smile on my face intensifies as I continue watching the man beside me sleep. Despite being an alpha, Zachary has always been a weak man and I know that first hand. Being able to manipulate him is something that I can do with my eyes closed and him lying here with me is proof enough. He even agreed to join hands with him and bring his ex wife back. I have no issue with that but it will become an issue when Odette tries to act funny with me.With one last look at him, I pull my body off the bed and start to get dressed but at that moment, his eyes open and a slight frown forms on it.“Where are you going?” He asks, pulling his body to a sitting position.“Why?” I ask him back, “you and I no longer share a relationship so you shouldn’t be bothered about me. Today is a full moon, I need to make preparations”“You will stay here, Bryer” Zachary grits his teeth, “you are the Luna of this pack and it is a full moon tonight, you should stay and
MALACHI’s POV.When Mason informed me of the meeting between Odette and Zachary, I was so mad that I wanted to kill him. I immediately left the meeting I was in and went straight to that hotel. The only thing that made it possible for him to walk out of that hotel alive was the fact that she stopped me. She stopped me from killing him if not I eat wolves like him for a snack.But how could I stay mad at her for long? The moment her body came in contact with her and my lips rested on hers, I felt all of my anger disappear and the only thing I wanted to do at that moment was take her to bed and make insane love to her but i couldn’t. Her gynecologist hasn’t given me the permission yet so I had to take a long cold shower to keep my shaft from getting a hard on again. That wife of mine is giving me a hard time and I love it.I step out of the shower with a towel loosely wrapped around my waist and as soon as I enter the room, my phone starts to beep and as soon as I see the caller ID, I a
