ENZO’s POV. My eyes flutter open and I am somewhat surprised to see Michelle in front of me with a huge smile on her face. Yesterday she refused to sleep in our room and opted to stay with her aunt and left me sulking all night. I didn’t want to regret bringing her aunt but as soon as the lady came, she took my wife away from me and I was not happy about it. Seeing her smiling back at me now, I feign anger and just continue staring back at her. “Good morning hubby” Michelle’s voice reaches my ears as she presses a kiss on my forehead, “I hope you had a good night's sleep?” “As if” I roll my eyes to the back of my head, “didn’t you leave me because of your aunt?” “Of course I did” she answers nonchalantly, “next time you hide things from me, I will send you packing out of my house” My eyes open wide for a moment, is she trying to exercise her rights now? This woman is surely a Willy one. “I never expected you to change so soon” “Of course” she laughs heartily and my
NICHOLAS’s POV.. As soon as those words left Enzo’s lips, I felt my whole life come to a standstill and I wanted to ask him how it was possible but he was gone before i could even say a word. How could she be pregnant for me? How was that even possible? Michelle never mentioned it to me so how come? The more I think about it, the more confused I become. Picking up my phone immediately, I dial Pete’s number and he answers. “Tell them to get the jet ready, we are going back home” I need to get to the root of the matter, how can Michelle be pregnant with my baby? I swear I am going to make Enzo pay if it is a lie. I grab my jacket and hurry out of the hotel room and in no time, I am on my way to the airport. The thought of Michelle is lingering in my mind and I have never been more tormented than I am at the moment. If what Enzo said was true, the moon goddess needs to punish me for throwing her and my unborn child away. How could I do that and accept a child that didn’t b
MICHELLE’s POV. Greetings of “luna” continue to filter into my ear as I make my way towards the pack infantry. Looking around the park house, I make a mental note to come by often to check on things. “Hey sister in law” Izzy walks up to me and drapes her hand over my shoulder, “I would have made preparations for a banquet if I knew you would come around today” I can’t help but laugh at her outburst, she sure knows how to joke a lot. “It is not too late to prepare for a banquet dear Izzy” i tell her, “you can start” “Of course my lady but you shouldn’t have bother coming here, the pack healer would have come to meet you if you asked” “Asked you?” I roll my eyes at her, “when you clearly didn’t tell me about Enzo's injury. I am sorry but I do not trust you and that brother of yours” A small pout appears on her lips as she comes to a halt beside me, “So now I am the enemy? Enzo clearly refused to tell you, Michelle even after I tried to cajole him. You should have hi
MICHELLE’s POV. Enzo had an impromptu surgery at the hospital this morning so I opted to go to the office. We had a lengthy conversation about my pregnancy last night and all I can say is that I am super proud of the man I call my husband. He didn’t make me feel I was giving him another man’s children. He makes me feel like the children in my womb are his and that is one thing I will always respect him for; taking me and my babies into his home and treating us like we are his world. Letting out a sigh, I pick up my bag from the table and make my way out of the room. I am surprised to see Maria standing outside my door and as usual she has a huge smile on her face. “How come you are here?” I ask her. “The boss asked me to accompany you to the office so I came right from the house” she answers, her voice is full of energy and vigor. “You could have come into the room,” I tell her. “Not at all ma’am, I didn’t want to bother you” I look down at her neck and I discover she
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
MALACHI’S POV.With my arm wrapped around her naked body, I bury my face in the crook of her neck and fill my lungs with her scent. The time is past 10PM but none of us have taken any time to sleep. I like the fact that we can stay in each other’s arms and just be ourselves.“What are you thinking about, my love?” She asks me, “you have been in thought for a while now”“I’m just thinking about how a lot has happened in the past few months, wifey” I tell her, snuggling closer to her, “but most especially I love the fact that we are together no matter what”“Should we go for a drive?” Odette suggests, pulling her body to a sitting position, “the weather is really nice”“You really want to go for a drive?” I ask and she nods vigorously.“We could get some ice cream on the way and even some chocolates too”“I should have known it’s your cravings speaking and not you” I tell her, pulling my naked body off the bed, “fine, let’s get dressed okay? I will get you everything you want”“Thank y
ODETTE’s POV.The moment I hear those words, I abruptly pull my skirt down and jump off the bed, Malachi’s lips tilt into a mocking smirk as he lowers himself on the bed.“You are going to go in there reeking of sex, babe”I roll my eyes to the back of my head, look at him talking like it’s not his fault. He is the one who put me in this position in the first place. Note to self: never have sex in the hospital where your father and your husband are both admitted” Walking towards the mirror, I start to fix my hair and my clothes.“You look okay, baby” he says to me, “you should go and see father in law now”“Hmm” I nod, “I will tell them you are taking a rest, okay?”“I will get changed and be there okay?”“But…“I am fine” he subtly cuts me off, his gaze softening, “I will come soon, okay?”“Okay baby” pressing forward, I kiss him lightly on the lips, running my index finger over his lips to clean a little bit of my gloss, “and make sure you take a shower” my gaze falls on his erect
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
