ENZO’s POV. As soon as I end the call, the smirk on my lips widens as I turn my attention back to the man who is standing before me. I had finished my surgery a while ago and I was scheduled for another one in an hour but that didn’t mean I didn’t know what was going on in my house and how Nicholas snaked his hand around my wife’s waist and that was a mistake he never should have made. The more I looked at the video in front of me, the more I get pissed at it. “What do you want to do with it now, master?” Xavier asks me. “Here” I hand him back the phone, “give it to my secretary and tell her to hand it over to the media team, they know what to do with it” “Yes boss” Xavier bows and walks out of the room while I lean back on the chair as the smirk returns to my face. This time around, I am going to snatch everything about AER from Nicholas and he will wish he didn’t touch my wife in such a way. That is something I will never be able to forgive no matter what. Picking
NICHOLAS’s POV. My laugh continues to resonate in the room as all of them continues to stare back at me. I can not believe the fact that a mere alpha like Enzo has me in a tight corner like this all be Michelle. I should have known that Michelle was not the same person I married three years ago. She is more ruthless and more aggressive now, more like the bane of my existence. Not in my life did I ever think i would be in this position because the shares of AER has plummeted so much that I find it hard to believe and what more, Lucy is at the pack healer’s. The more I think about it, the more I can’t help but laugh. Enzo really laid all his cards on the table this time around and now I am not going to lie low. If he wants to go low, I am going to go much lower than he ever expected and I am going to make him pay for touching my sister the second time, I swear on the moon goddess. Pushing my body on the revolving chair “What should we do sir?” My assistant asks me, “the
ENZO’s POV. A snare leaves my mouth as I shift back to my human form, my eye’s drinking in the sight of the bodies on the ground. This is two days after slamming Nicholas with the lawsuit but he had the audacity and the nerve to attack my pack house and injure a lot of people. I was about to go in for a surgery when Izzy called me and I had to ditch everything to rush back to the pack house. Luckily for me, Michelle was not around. She and her aunt had to go to their ancestral home to pay her dead parents a visit and I was supposed to go with her but I couldn't because of the surgery. Who would have known that Nicholas would attack me like a stupid rouge like that. Groaning softly, I turn to look at the battered body beside me and my lips curl into a smirk, he is a pretty strong contender but too weak. I can’t help but wonder how he became the alpha of his pack when he is this weak and not only that, most of his pack members are also lying unconscious on the ground. It
MICHELLE’s POV. I keep pacing around the room after I drop the call. Just a few hours after I left, Nicholas dared to attack my husband. I am going to hold him by the hair and make sure to sniff the life out of him. How can he do such a cowardly thing? Was he that afraid of the lawsuits that he had to attack Enzo like that? Thinking about it, I get more worried. I just want to see him and that’s the only way I can feel better. “Keep him safe for me, moon goddess” I mutter under my breath as I continue pacing around the room. “You know this won’t help you, right?” Aunt’s voice filters into my ear and I stop to look at her, “you are pregnant Michelle, three babies inside of you, you you shouldn’t be walking around like that” “I am just worried aunt” I tell her as I swallow hard; “he sounded so weak on the phone and I won’t be able to rest if I don’t see my husband tonight” “It will take about an hour to get here, are you going to keep pacing until he comes?” “I don’t t
ENZO’s POV. The lady in my arms stiffen the moment my question reach her ear. I have known for the longest time that Maria was in love with me. I didn’t bother to act on it because I didn’t feel that way towards her and she was certainly not my type and let’s not forget the life of a wolf. The moon goddess always chose for us and she didn’t make me and Maria mates. The other reason why I didn’t act on it was because Maria didn’t act on it too and that’s one reason I respect her till date, she knew how to keep her distance and I hope it remains so. “You knew from the beginning that she loved you?” Michelle asks me after a while as I bury my face in the crook of her neck and I sniff in her scent making me groan lightly. My whole body feels weak but being next to this woman makes me feel so much better. “Hmm” I nod, “I knew from the onset” “So why didn’t you do anything about it” Is this lady being serious right now? “Why would I? I don’t love her, I love only you” “H
NICHOLAS’s POV. My eyes slightly open as a groan escapes my mouth but the scene in front of me is different from the torture jail Enzo has put me in. This time around, I am in the middle of a big forest and the lady in front of me is one that I have never seen before. She probably is the most beautiful woman I have ever set my eyes on. Her white hair is cascading down her back like a long cloak and the orange-yellow robe on her body gives me the irk of something dangerous yet attractive. I have heard tales of the moon goddess but I have not been blessed to see her yet but this woman in front of me eludes all appearance of the goddess. I continue staring back at her while she continues to tend to the rose flower in her hand. “Goddess Selene?” I finally find my voice and she abruptly halts what she is doing and turns her gaze on me, immediately I feel a chill down my spine. “How dare you call me that?” She growls in anger and starts to take slow steps towards me, “how
MICHELLE’s POV, I shoot out of bed as my eyes frantically search the room until a hand pulls me into his embrace and that is when I let out a sigh of relief as soon as his scent filters into my nose. I must have had a very bad dream because the way my body is reacting right now isn’t supposed to be so but I really can not fathom why my whole body is shaking in such a way. “Hey, calm down” his soothing voice reaches my ears as he pats my hair lightly, “you are safe okay?” “Something is not right, Enzo” I tell him, “I can feel it in my bones, something is wrong somewhere but I don’t know how to place it” I slowly pull away from him as I continue to gaze into his eyes. It was only meant to be a moment with this man but here I am married to him with our lives taking different turns each day. Now I don’t even know the direction we are headed now, everything seems so fuzzy and with the way my body is reacting, something doesn’t seem right even in the least. For the first ti
ENZO’s POV. The moment the car comes to a halt in front of the house, I see how Michelle’s face lights up the minute she sees the house in front of her. This is a house I purchased a few days ago and I am not sure if she would like it as much as I have anticipated. “Oh my gosh babe!!” Her voice jolts me out of my train of thoughts,“When did you buy this?” I open the car door for her and she hastens down before briskly walking through the house, the smile on her face widening with each step. “Do you like it?” I ask her and she turns to me with an eye roll. “Like? Babe, I love it. This is so beautiful babe, I mean look how classy and demure it looks. How much did you purchase this, Enzo?” She turns to me with a raised brow again, “clearly this is top notch and no one will sell this for less” “You don’t have to worry about the price, kitten” I tell her as I drape my hand over her shoulder, “just enjoy it” I immediately gather her into my arms and start to walk towards t
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
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
ZACHARY’s POV.I slump back against the wall, Odette’s words ringing in my head. How the heck did I make such a mistake? How the heck did I let Bryer do all this to me! Why the fuck did I let Odette go? When did Bryer do all this to me? I know we had something but it broke off when I met Odette and I genuinely fell in love with her. We had so much to do together, we loved each other and I messed everything up. I even tortured her and still…“Fuck” I shake my head to remove those thoughts. How the heck did I do this, I am sure the moon goddess will be cringing at the thought of me being one of her creations. I even went as far as killing our own child. I knew she wasn’t lying, she didn't lie. I could see it in her eyes, the pain and the agony. How did I change, how did I become the man she hates so much, when did I push her away into the arms of another man.A lot is going on in my head and how I want this to be a fucking dream.A knock on the door makes me jolt out of my thoughts.“Z
MALACHI’s POV.As soon as those words leave his mouth, my eyes darken and I let go of Odette, taking slow steps towards him. Did he just call my woman his wife in my presence? Did he just open his mouth and fucking call her his?The more I think about it, the more my wolf howls in my head. I want to kill him, shatter him into a million pieces and make sure his wolf never recovers. How dare he? How dare he stand in front of me and call her his?“What did you just say?” I ask him as soon as I come to stand in front of him, “did you just call my wife your woman?”“What did you expect?” Zachary blurts out, “it was bound to happen sooner or later. Fine, I was not in my right mind and you jumped in to make her yours. What did you think? That you would have a love story like her dad and her mum?”My hand collides with his face in a slap and I grab him by the neck, my eyes burning with anger.The pain in my chest is still lingering a little but hearing him call Odette his wife makes my wolf s
ZACHARY’s POV.I keep pacing up and down until I hear her footsteps behind me, I turn around to see her walking towards me, an expressionless look on her face.In the past I would have pulled her into my embrace and maybe kissed her but right now we have become strangers to ourselves. Looking at her, the thought of my child growing in her belly envelopes me and I swallow hard, the deed has already been done, there is no need to cry over spilt milk.“Where is Bryer?” I ask her, “I have not come to cause any problems for you since you had just had a miscarriage but I need you to give her to me, I do not have the strength to argue with you”“Did you ever love me, Zachary” Odette asks me,her tone calm and gentle, “did you ever sit down and think to yourself that this would hurt me? I gave you nothing but love and this is how you repay me, Zach?”“What the heck are you doing now?” I groan in frustration, “tell me, do you want me back? Do you want me to take you as my Luna again?”“Bryer’s
ODETTE’s POV.I continue pacing up and down the room, Bryer’s words still lingering in my head. I know exactly what she means but I do not know the damage she had done to him. Well, I don’t feel bad for him, he allowed himself to be used by her and this is his karma.“Babe” Malachi calls out to me, “you just had a miscarriage, stop walking around like that”“I am fine, Malachi. You don’t have to worry about me”“There goes that statement again” a frustrated sigh leaves his mouth, “you know I will always worry about you and yet you..He stands up from the bed and comes to a halt in front of me.“I don’t want you stressing”“How much damage do you think Bryer did to Zach?” I ask him and a huge frown appears on his face.“What? Are you worried about him right now?” He sounds a bit upset, “like….“Of course not, Baby” I cut him off, “get your heads out of the gutters, I just want to know the level he is on. I don’t want him experiencing his karma when he is not in his right senses. He nee
BRYER’s POV.It has been four days since Malachi locked me up here and he hasn’t shown up. I don’t know if he has gone back to New York or he is purposely not showing up in front of me. I even tried to escape last night but I was hurt because of how weak my body is. My injuries are not healing because of what Malachi poured on me, even though they let me have a shower and stay at the pack house, I am still under the scrutinizing gaze of the pack warriors.Malachi is trying to break me mentally by keeping me here, away from the world and away from my phone. I wonder if Zach already knows I am missing. He must have asked Brendon, I need him now more than ever. This is when I need him to show me I am his mate.I let out a sigh as I plop down on the bed, wincing in pain. The more Malachi hurts me, the more I am going to make her pay for every single pain and suffering I had to go through.The door opens up and I spring up from the bed. An angry sigh leaves my mouth when I see who it is.
ODETTE’s POV.Plopping down on the bed lightly, dad also lowers himself beside me. Concern and worry written on his face. He looks like he is waiting for my permission to hurt Zach and I can understand, I also want to hurt him too, hurt him so much that even the moon goddess will be scared for him.“Mum told me you have been worried” I start to talk, “you needn’t worry about me dad, i am fine”“Do you know how scared I was seeing you on that hospital bed, princess?” He asks me, “I was so scared, it felt like the day your mum was supposed to have her surgery. I don’t ever want to see you in that kind of situation ever again”Without saying anything, I lean into his embrace and he starts to stroke my hair lightly.It is still overwhelming that a man who didn’t father us could love us this way. He never made us feel like we were missing a real father. Sometimes I wonder why he and mum didn’t have another child.“Baby” he calls out gently, “you know the doors are always open for you to co
CHAPTER THIRTY NINE.MALACHI’s POV.I had just finished setting the table for dinner when she walks back into the house looking a bit dejected and tired. I don’t bother asking her what’s wrong because I already know what happened. Seeing her like this breaks my heart. She didn’t say anything for two days and In those two days, it felt like my whole life came to a standstill. She was in pain and I couldn’t do anything about that. It made me feel incapable and unable to take care of my woman.When she showed up at the study earlier, I was happy she was finally out of bed but that didn’t stop her from noticing something was wrong and I had to tell her, I had to break her heart once again. Believe me, I wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to kill an alpha like Zach but she made me promise to wait till the right time. The only thing I can do at this moment is to comfort her and wait for the right time.Letting out a sigh, I make my way towards her and pull her into my embrace. Odette does
