BRYER’s POV.As soon as Zach walks out of the room, I angrily throw the pillow against the door. How dare he come to me after what he did? He killed my baby, my trump card. My wolf howls in my head as I ball my hands into a fist. Who the hell does he think he is and how dare he? He made me lose my baby and I won’t let him go no matter what. I am going to use him to get whatever I want and be best believe, I am not even joking about it.I close my eyes trying to calm my aching heart. Yes, I only wanted to use the child for my personal gain but it was mine and I had an attachment to it. I refuse to cry, instead I will put more effort into getting what I want. Only after I get Malachi will I be able to live peacefully. Only by his side will I be able to get everything I want. Zach can no longer offer me anything but he will be my stepping stone, I will use him to get everything I have ever wanted.I didn’t grow up into affluence like others but I was lucky enough to meet Malachi and his
ODETTE’s POV. I drop the phone on the table as a hand snake around my waist. I don’t bother to turn around because I already know who it is. I let out a sigh, allowing my head to rest on his chest.“See why I told you not to watch that stupid video?” Malachi asks, his voice deep and hoarse, “I told you it would only mess with your mood”“I am fine, babe” I tell him, “I am more concerned for her. I mean she lost a baby but doesn’t even look like she cares. Going around and making a video shows how stupid she actually is. I mean, why blame me for that?”“What do you think?” He turns me around to face him, our faces only inches away from each other, “because she badly wants to be you, my love and she knows it will never be possible so she wants to do everything to tarnish your reputation”I shrug as I help arrange his tie, “then she better do a good job because this is almost like a child’s play. She really thinks I will not be able to get out of this one?”Before Malachi can say anyth
ZACHARY’s POV. Seeing her walk into the hotel room, my heart skipped a beat. She is putting on a pair of jeans trousers and a crisp white shirt which is neatly tucked into her pants. She has her silver hair in a high ponytail and fuck, I want to pull her into my embrace and hug her. How did I miss this? How did I let her go and get involved with that Bryer?The lady who used to smile so much when she saw me was now looking at me like a total stranger.Standing up, I try to pull out the chair for her but she stops me.“I can do this myself” Odette tells me, “you do not need to worry about me”“Be it you or someone else, I should act as a gentleman, Odette”I must have sounded funny because she scoffs before pulling out the chair herself.“That is rich coming from you, Zachary”Shaking my head, I walk back to my chair and also sit down, my gaze not leaving her.“I ordered your favorite wine”“I don’t drink that anymore”“It’s not even up to three months, bae..“You do realize I have a
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as Zachary walks out of the room, Malachi drops the bat he is holding and combs his hair with his fingers. He looks upset, very upset. I have never seen him in this kind of position before. He looks like he is about to set the entire building on fire.“Babe…The words hang in my throat when the door opens again and a few of the hotel staff enter. The moment they see a mess, all of them start looking around wondering what to say or do.“Is everything alright sir?” The one who seems to be the hotel manager asks.Pulling out his wallet, Malachi drop two Cheques on the tablel, each containing fifty million dollars“If this is not enough to take care of the damage in this room, you can call my office”With that, he turns around and walks out of the room not bothering to spare me any glance. If he is behaving like this in this way, I must have really hurt him. Grabbing my bag, I also follow him to see him waiting by the elevator.“I thought you left?” I ask him but he
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
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
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”
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
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
ODETTE’s POV.The doorbell rings and I hurry out of the kitchen to open it. Malachi left for the office because he had a meeting, I was asleep when he even left. I decided to make breakfast for myself. At this point I miss Mason, he would have been here to keep me company but I understand that young man is busy with school and I will hate to ruin that.My face breaks into a little smile when I see the person standing outside my door..Emma.“Good morning ma’am” she greets politely.“Good morning Emma, what brings you here?” I open the door wider, “please come on in”“That won’t be necessary ma’am, the boss asked us to bring this for you”This is when I notice the big box the man behind her is carrying.“He said we should have it delivered, he will be home in five minutes to take care of what’s inside”“Okay, please you can keep it in the living room”“Sure ma’am”After he drops the box, he bows lightly and makes his way out again.“Why don’t you stay for breakfast?”“Thank you so much
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
