ENZO’s POV. Regret wash over me as I sit staring down at the unconscious woman on my bed. Immediately she fell unconscious twenty minutes ago, I immediately came back to my senses and rushed her back to the pack house. It is already very late and calling Lawrence to come here is going to be an impossible task. One rule, no humans are allowed at the pack house. I have checked her pulse and everything seems normal but she is still not waking up and I am not so sure about the babies. From the injuries on her body, I must have hurt her so badly and now I can not even look at her face. She looks so weak and so feeble right now, I wish I can turn back the hands of time and right my wrongs. I shouldn’t have hurt her or even looked at her. “It was not your fault” my wolf tells me but it’s voice makes me more annoyed, it is my fault, everything. But rules can be broken, can’t there? For her I am ready to go to the end of the world and right now, if her world ends then mine ends a
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as Enzo envelopes me in his arms, I instantly feel alive. When I woke up earlier and I didn’t see him, it felt like my whole life had been shattered into a thousand pieces and what's more, my heart broke when I heard him saying he could not come see me. How can he leave me alone when I am in this condition? Shouldn’t he be by my side so I will feel better? But right now, it is not about me. This man is literally shaking in my arms and I know why, he is scared. “Are you okay?” His voice filters into my ear as he pulls away from me gently, “are you fine? Did something happen to the babies? Are you….” Enzo’s voice trails off when I don’t say anything and just continue staring back at me, this man literally has tears well up in his eyes. “If you badly wanted to know how I was doing, why did you refuse to come and see me?” I ask him. “I am sorry, Michelle” his voice comes out almost in a whisper, “I was just…. “You look a mess, baby” I cup his face in
MICHELLE’s POV, “Here you go ma’am” Maria says as she hands me the documents, “and Mr Nicholas is waiting for you in the conference room, everything is ready as per your instructions” “Good, get the car ready” I tell her, “I will speak with him and we will move” “Okay ma’am” Tucking the paper she has just given me into my bag, I make my way to the conference room and there Nicholas is standing next to the window, his gaze on the busy road ahead. “I don’t think this is the right place for you to be, Mr woodsborn” I tell him the moment I drop my bag on the glass table. He turns his attention to me and an expressionless look is hovering over his face, a look I am sure Enzo is responsible for. “You look absolutely stunning in this outfit, Michelle” he says out loud, his voice making me cringe, “but I am not here to admire you. You and Enzo are lucky that Lucy is recovering fast or I swear I would have destroyed the two of you” I can’t help but laugh as I lower myself o
ENZO’s POV. As soon as I step out, I place the phone against my ear as a familiar voice filters into my ear. “We found the judge, boss” Stephan says from the other end. Stephan is also one of my trusted men, he also gets the job done quickly. “Good, bring him in. I will have a talk with him before the show” “Yes boss” As I end the call, I close my eyes for a moment to calm myself down. Finding out that Nicholas came to take my wife to the court with him annoyed me the most and I think it is high time I bring him to his knees, he wouldn’t dare to even look at her again if I am done with him. With this at the back of my head, I make my way back into the room. Now Michelle is pacing up and around the room and I know exactly what is going on in her mind, I know exactly what she is passing through now and I know what is about to happen. “Get him treated” I tell Izzy before grabbing a hold of my wife’s hand, “Let’s go” She picks up her bag and the moment we board the c
NATALIA’s POV. Pacing up and down the room, I pick up my phone and dial his number again but for the umpteenth time, he doesn’t answer. This is the first time he is behaving like this and he knows how much I hate to be left alone. It is already past eight and he should be back at the hotel by now. Is he with Michelle? A lot is going on in my head as I continue to pace around while still calling his number. What I am doing is interrupted when the door opens and Nicholas ventures into the room and immediately I feel the hair on the back of my neck stand on edge. I know this feeling, I have felt it before and it is not one I will like to experience ever again. Angry Nicholas is one of the worst things someone can experience and I really do not want that again, not now. “Hey baby” I fake a smile on my face and try to touch him but he halts me in my tracks, a gesture that makes me gulp. “Get dressed, Natalia” he orders and a slight frown appears in my face. “Are we going
MICHELLE’s POV. Standing near the door, I can’t help but admire the man who is seated behind the mahogany desk with his attention on the documents in front of him and how he looks so good in glasses and with his hair falling over his face like that. Gosh, this man is so hot and when I mean hot, I mean he is the most handsome man that has walked the face of the earth because how can he look this good even without trying? “Do I need to learn his skin care?” I think to myself and can’t help but scoff, this man literally doesn’t have any skin care routine. “Are you going to keep ogling at me from the door?” Enzo finally looks up as he leans back on the chair giving me a full view of the god that he is, “you are clearly drooling over me and you won’t come to meet me?” “I wasn’t drooling over you” I tell him and he chuckles lightly. “Have you forgotten that I can listen to your every thought, dear wife?” Wife? Hmm I love the sound of that. “Come here!! Gosh, I immedi
NICHOLAS’s POV. I push open the door and saunter into the room. The moment Natalia sees me, she slowly pushes her body to a sitting position as a sigh leaves her lips. After her fall two days ago, I had to bring her back home after confirming that she lost the baby due to a miscarriage. At the time, I felt like the worst person on earth because that child was supposed to be mine but now it is gone. No matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t wrap my head around it but now seated in front of her with a small smile on her lips, I just don’t know how to feel. “Why do you look so glum?” She asks me, “are you okay?” “How do you feel now?” I ask her in return, my gaze traveling around her. “Just a little headache but I am tough, I will be fine” “I see, you will be fine '' I scoff as I take my hand through my hair as the thought of Michelle winds its way into my head. I remember how her giggles and her chuckles sound, how she makes a pout when she can not get something do
ENZO’s POV. I am seated on the kitchen counter watching my wife as she makes breakfast. Michelle insisted on making breakfast and I allowed her too. Now I am having a cup of coffee while watching her make breakfast for the both of us. I can’t even take my eyes off of her for reasons best known to me. Looking at how happy she looks while swinging her waist from side to side listening to some music, I make up my mind that I must protect this woman at all cost, no matter what happens. My attention is drawn to the phone on the table when it starts to blink and when I see the caller ID, I immediately pick it up and press it against my ear. “Hello” “Sir” Mr Hernandez’s voice filters into my ear. “Tell me, why have you called?” “I have sent the copy of the approved divorce papers to your email sir and I called to let you know” “Very well then, thank you” I end the call and place the phone back on the table as my attention returns to the lady who is now dishing the food i
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
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.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.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
ODETTE’s POV.Getting a hold of myself, I walk into the conference room again and now, father is the one talking. I try as much as possible not to glance at Malachi again because I know his fucking gaze are still on me.Flashing a smile on my face, I sit near Zach and he gently grabs a hold of my hand under the chair, a gesture which makes my lips curl up and from the corner of my eyes, I see Malachi’s face tense up.“You took too long,” he whispers to me.“My strap came off”“Well, ladies and gentlemen” father’s voice reaches my ear again, “we have listened to what Zachary has said, so do you have anything to say concerning that?”Everyone is silent for a moment until I see Malachi gently rise from his chair and my eyebrows hit my hairline.“Well, eight hundred million dollars is not a small amount of money Mr Zachary, so what’s your guarantee that you will be getting this project after getting this money? Well, permit me to say this, I am not a full member of the board of Avanti an
ODETTE’s POV. I wake up to the sound of Zach talking into the phone in hush tones, a slight frown appears on my face as I pull my body to a sitting position. This has been going on for days now, he talks into the phone late in the night and he always looks worried. Grabbing my night robe, I pull out of bed and make my way towards the balcony. The moment he sees me, he immediately ends the call and plasters a fake smile on his face. “What’s going on, Zach?” I ask him. “It’s nothing princess” he replies, “sorry for waking you up, you should go back to bed” It is clearly a lie, I wish I could read his thoughts just like he reads mine but I don’t know why he blocked me out. I can neither read his thoughts nor even know what’s going on in his mind. “What does that even mean?” I ask again, “since you got back, you have been acting strange. Tell me, what’s going on with you, babe? Is there an issue at the pack house?” “No, not that” he answers, “Zuni is doing a good job in my ab
I immediately pull away from him, I genuinely do not like the way my body is reacting to his touch. I shouldn’t be feeling that way with another man ever.“I have to go” I grab my bag and rush out of the house, no, I can’t let that happen.I don’t even give him an opportunity to come after me because the moment I get to my car, I zoom off before he appears in front of my car again.As soon as I turn on the main road, I bring my car to a halt before letting out a huge sigh.What the hell was I thinking agreeing to stay for dinner and even agreeing to stay and do the dishes with him? What the hell was I thinking letting him kiss me? What the heck was I thinking letting him touch me and letting my imaginations run wild.Zach will be so disappointed in me, how can I let that happen? A wolf is bound to its mate for the rest of its life so why the heck did I allow another man touch me?I press my head against the headrest and close my eyes, this isn’t right and this shouldn’t happen ever ag
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as he opens the door and my eyes come in contact with his, my breath hitch. I remember how his lips felt on mine hours ago, the feel of his body against mine and the way his ragged breath fanned my face.I spent four hours in this room but just one look at him in his robe and I feel my whole body heat up again. But I shouldn’t be thinking about him in this way, he has a mate and I do it, I did but that doesn’t change the fact that this is wrong in all ramifications.Clearing my throat, I step out of the room onto the hallway but he doesn’t move an inch, his huge frame towering above me.“How do you feel?” Malachi asks, his gaze on me.“Better” I lie. Of course, I don’t feel better. I want the fucking ground to open up and swallow me whole but wait, has he always had these kinds of eyes?“Odette?” His voice jolts me out of my thoughts and I let out a sigh.“I guess I should leave now” I tell him.“Stay for dinner” he tells me.“No” I immediately refuse, “I don’t
ODETTE’s POV.I wake up feeling a bit refreshed but I know it’s only a matter of time before my body heats up again. Unconsciously, my mind drifts off to Malachi and I let out a frustrated groan. How could he take me to his house when he has a mate? But it’s not like I did anything wrong, I didn’t know and it’s not even my business.I shove the thought to the back of my head, time to get the day started.Pulling my body out of bed, I make my way towards the bathroom but a knock on my door has me turning my head.“Hey baby” it’s mum, “can I come in?”“Sure”She pushes the door open and saunters into the room, a small smile on her face.“Good morning mum”“Morning sweetheart” she perches on one side of my bed, “how are you feeling this morning?”“Good” I shrug, walking into the bathroom and grabbing my brush.“Yeah?”“Hmm”“So how were you able to…you know like take care of your heat? Izzy told me you didn’t go to the pack house yesterday”“Are you keeping tabs on me, Mrs Philips?”She
