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
ZACHARY’s POV.Plopping down on the chair, I massage the space between my brows as anger continues to wash over me. How did she escape and no one could stop her? It is still so annoying that someone entered my pack house and took her and not one of them could stop the person. The worst part is that no one saw his face. He killed two of my men and left like he fucking owned the place:I lean forward on the chair as my gaze falls on the three men standing in front of me. They were supposed to be guarding her and now..“Are you going to tell me the truth now?” I ask, my voice unusually low, “because I find it hard to believe that someone will walk into the pack house, take her and none of you was able to stop him? What's the worst part? You didn’t even see his face? How dumb is that?”“Sorry Alpha” one of them says, “we are still looking for them”“Are you nuts?” I spring up from my chair in anger, grabbing him by the neck and shoving him towards the wall, “you should be thankful to the
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as I lower myself on the seat, an air hostess comes at me with a huge smile on my face. “We are getting ready to take off now ma’am” she tells me, “anything you need?”“Not at all” I flash her another smile, “but thank you”Malachi left forNew York yesterday because he had to meet with Kayden before shooting started but I opted to stay back in Virginia for a while to regroup. I am still in awe of what Zach did to me. I still can’t believe that the man I loved all my life could look me in the eyes and do this to me. He hurt me, he hurt me so much that I am not sure when I am going to recover yet. Tying me up, taking my blood and forcing me to sign those papers is something I will never be able to forgive him for doing that to me, for making me remember the trauma my mother had to pass through. Was any man even loyal at all?I close my eyes and press my head against the headrest, letting my thoughts run wild. I haven’t told my parents or siblings and I don’t plan
MALACHI’s POVDropping my phone, I return my attention to the man seated in front of me who is busy on his laptop with Odette hovering over him. Her silver hair is pulled up in a messy bun and the urge to weave my hand through it becomes a little intense so I shift my gaze from her and settle on Elvis again. Back in the car when she told me about Zach threatening her, I swear I wanted to go back to North Carolina and teach that bastard a lesson. How dare he think of threatening her. If she didn’t stop me, I would have been there by now. He hurt her and still dared to threaten her, how shitty could he be?“What’s going on, Elvis?”“I am trying to hack into his phone sir” he responds, “it’s difficult with only his phone number but I am trying”“Well, try harder” my patience is wearing thin at this moment, “I don’t want my woman’s stuff out there”The words are out of my mouth before I can even stop myself and I find her looking at me, a bewildered look on her face.“Can we talk for a
ODETTE’s POV.When I found out I was pregnant a day ago, it felt like my whole world came to a fucking standstill. Like how could I be pregnant for a man like him? Believe me, I was devastated and I actually thought about getting rid of the baby. I couldn’t give birth to Zach’s child, I couldn’t give birth to a baby whose father didn’t want me. It made me remember what my mother had to go through. Now I understood the kind of pain she must have experienced when her mate rejected her for her own sister.Now standing in front of Malachi and with the way he is looking at me, my world shatters. I didn’t expect him to judge me, I didn’t expect him to have that look in his eyes. It isn’t my fault that I got pregnant by my husband.Letting out a sigh, I slowly move away from him, wiping the tears from my face.“You see” I force a smile on my lips, “we can not be together, Malachi. I am pregnant with another man’s child and that’s the truth. You have a mate, stick to that”“You do not get to
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
