MICHELLE’s POV. “Thank you” I say to the lady who has just given me a drink of water from the refrigerator in my room. “You are welcome ma’am” she bows lightly and in no time she is out of the room while the look on my face remains expressionless as I continue to stare back at myself in the mirror. “It is time to walk down the aisle, sister In law” Izzy tells me as she helps to readjust the silver crown on my head. “Is there something you are not telling me, Izzy?” I ask as I turn away from the mirror and turn my head towards her and I see a look of confusion flash through her face. “What do you mean sister in law?” My mind drifts off to what Natalia told me a few minutes ago. I had no idea she was on the yacht with us, Enzo didn’t make mention of that. Even before we left the house In his private jet, I requested to meet Natalia but he refused and wouldn’t let me. Natalia had told me something about Enzo but I didn’t quite understand it and when I wanted to ask her, I
MICHELLE’s POV. I frantically open my eyes as a slight groan leaves my mouth and I push myself to a sitting position, my eyes searching the room frantically and my teeth clenching in anxiety. I try to push my body out of bed but the pain lingering in my stomach halts me and I wince in pain. For a moment, memories of what happened flash through my head but I am unable to decipher anything because the last I remember was someone covering my eyes. “Enzo?” His name rolls out of my lips as my eyes dart across the room. Neither is his scent lingering anywhere or can I feel a sense of him. “Enzo?” I call out again and immediately the door pushes open and my heart skips a beat.. A sigh of disappointment leaves my lips when I see Izzy saunter into the room. “Sister in law” a small smile appears on her face, “you are awake” “Where is Enzo, Izzy?” I ignore the pain lingering in my tummy as my eyes continue to search her face for an answer. Right now, the only person I want to
ENZO’s POV. I have just stepped out of the shower when my mobile begins to ring again. In the past three days, I have been receiving a lot of calls and I know this is also linked to it. What happened on the yacht caused a huge stir on the internet and I have done a lot to bring down some of the news. Luckily the part of either of us being a supernatural being is still under wraps but the headlines were all about Avanti and the bloodbath. Thinking back about it, I actually didn’t do anything to stop the situation on board, I was only concerned about my wife and her safety. Luckily those who were hurt were all taken to the hospital on time and it wasn’t so severe, only I suffered a major hit. Thinking about it now, it kind of hurts a little but the pack healer is doing a good job in managing it at least until I am able to get an antidote for it. Adeline, that bastard!! I jolt back from my thoughts again when the beeping of my mobile reaches my ear again and I click
MICHELLE’s POV. I was getting tired of waiting for Enzo to come back and I decided to go and meet him only for me to hear what had happened and he didn’t even tell me. He decided to keep it a secret from me for reasons best known to him. How dare he hide something so important from me? Looking at the two of them, I felt like giving Enzo a tight slap across the face. “Hey” a fake smile appears on his face, “thought you said you were not coming down?” “So you could lie your way around again?” I ask with a raised brow while walking towards him. The pain in my stomach has not completely gone so I am walking as slow as I can be, not wanting to intensify it. “So you clearly didn’t tell her?” A mocking smirk appears on Nicholas’s face as he folds his hands across his chest, “you always want to play the good guy, don’t you!” “I wasn’t talking to you, Mr woodsborn” I snap at him, “so get the fuck out of my face and why are you even here? Aren’t you supposed to be mourning for
NICHOLAS’s POV. Finally, I see her fragile figure walking up the alley towards her house, an airpod stuck to her ear and her attention on her phone. I have been waiting for her for quite some time now and luckily she is back. I have an inkling that whatever she is looking at in her phone is somewhat related to her love interest and it makes me all giddy with excitement. Looking at her, I can’t help but wonder what she loves so much about that bastard. That same bastard that I want to kill and send back to the moon goddess. After a while, she comes to a halt in front of me and her forehead creases into a frown when she sees me. Removing the AirPod from her ear, a scowl also appears on her face. “You? What are you doing here?” “Hmmm, this is where you live?” I ask her, “isn’t it too simple for someone working with Avanti?” “I asked you a question Mr woodsborn” Maria rolls her eyes, “what are you doing here and how did you find my house?” “It was pretty easy” I tell
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
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
