MICHELLE’s POV. It is already past eight and Enzo is not home yet. I have called him several times but he didn’t respond, Maria also told me that he has left the venue. Did he go straight to the pack house? I am not so sure because I told him to come straight home and the Enzo I know will never make me worry. I turn around to pick up my phone and this is when I see Izzy’s call coming through and my heart skips a beat. I hastily pick up the phone and click on the receive button before pressing it against my ear. “Michelle” her voice filters through, “I don’t have much time but Enzo is here at the pack house and he won’t see anyone or talk to anyone. He came in thirty minutes ago and has since locked himself up in his room and has refused to come out” “I am on my way now” I immediately drop the phone and grab the car keys before heading out of the room. The moment I step out, an unknown man bows to me and from the look of things, he is completely human. “I am the ne
ENZO’s POV. AN HOUR AGO. As soon as I shut the door, I slump on the floor and bury my face in my hands. Today was just as hectic as the day before but right now that is the least of my problems right now. It is already past eight and any moment from now, I will be experiencing the worst pain ever and the worst primal instinct ever. For the past ten years, this has been my comfort zone. This has been the room that held my pain and anxiety for the past ten years and here I am today, trying to hide away from the world as usual. A soft knock on the door jolts me out of my train of thought and immediately her scent filters into my nose, I immediately know who is behind the door and my wolf growls inside of me. “Go away, Izzy” I tell her, “I am not in the mood to listen to talk to anyone” “You can not just hide in there Enzo, come out and let’s talk about this” “Go and take care of yourself, Izzy” I tell her again, “we will talk in the morning” This is the place I am mea
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
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
BRYER’s POV.From afar, I see him taking a sip of his coffee. I know he wouldn’t want to see me now but if I want to get everything back, I need to get his trust back.I just need the right amount of words and pretense.Throwing the half cigarette on the floor, I squash it with my leg before making my way into the café. I have to do this now, I need to make a fucking move. I can’t just sit idle waiting for something to happen.“Mason!” I call out his name gently and he immediately springs up from the chair, anger written on his face.“What are you doing here, Bryer?”I glance at the lady beside him, the one from the salon. I didn’t know two of them were acquaintances, I could have gotten some information for free from her.“Miss Bryer” her face breaks into a small smile.“I didn’t know you knew him” I tell her, flashing her a smile, “Boyfriend?”“It is none of your business” Mason snaps before she can even answer me, “what do you want, Bryer?”I let out a sigh, he has his guards up mo
MALACHI’s POV.“Oh my world!!” Odette screams as soon as I push open the door to the cottage. Imagine the look of surprise and awe on her face when the plane touched down Costa Rica. She has been beaming smiles since then. A few days ago when we had that subway experience, she made mention of the fact that she would like to live normally and I decided to make that happen. Bring her to a place where no one would care about us and just be normal for a few days.I purchased this cottage two days ago and seeing everything, I am in love with it already. The three bedroom cottage which is a little away from the town, looks like something out of a fairytale with a beautiful lake behind and a garden full of beautiful flowers by the side. There is also a swimming pool in front of it, adding an extra layer of magnificence to the house. The former owner sure took care of it because it looks much more amazing than the photos I saw.“How did you even come across this babe?” Odette asks as we cont
