ENZO’s POV. Michelle’s scream alerts me and I immediately sit up, before I can even ask her anything, my eyes catch the blood stain on the bed and for real, my heart skips a beat. I didn’t notice the blood when I came to lie down beside her so how did this happen? My mind is in turmoil right now, I am not sure if she is having a miscarriage or it is because of the tumor. “Snap out of it” my wolf growls inside of me and I snap back to reality. Tears are streaming down her eyes and she looks scared, very scared. “Hey” I hold onto her cheek, “I will take you to the hospital, okay?” “My babies” her muffled voice reaches my ears, “I can not lose my babies, Enzo. I….” Michelle’s voice trails off. “You will not lose your babies” I try to assure her, even if somewhere in my mind I am scared. For Michelle to refuse terminating the pregnancy, she must really want to keep the pregnancy. How will she feel if she actually loses it even if technically I want her to get rid of the babi
MICHELLE’s POV. Standing in front of the mirror, I can not help but admire myself. The knee length dress looks so good with the gemstones on it. The slit running up my thighs gives it a more subtle look and I can not help but fall in love with it. I am certain Enzo designed this himself seeing how simple yet stunning it looks. How can a man be versed in a lot of things, surely he is the moon goddess’s favorite and I can swear on that. My musing is cut short when the door opens and Enzo saunters in. For a moment he is speechless as his eyes travel over me. He must love the dress on me seeing the soft look embroidered on his face. “Wow!!” Left his lips as he begins to take slow steps towards me, “you look breathtaking, Michelle” “Did you design this?” I ask him as he comes to a stop in front of me, his eyes still on me and how I want to pounce into his embrace and sniff in his scent. “2019 collection” he answers, “you are the first person wearing it, it has been in tha
ENZO’s POV. Snaking my hand around her waist, I deepen the kiss and find her tongue. Something about her keeps drawing me in and I just want to hold her in my embrace forever without letting her go or letting her shed a single tear. With this, my grip around her tighten. I am afraid she might slip away if I let her go and I am not ready for that. Her kiss is slow and gentle, full of love and warmth. The more we kiss, the more Michelle presses her body against mine and I totally understand that body language. She wants me and I want her too. I want to rip off her clothes and make her mine. Her scent is becoming too strong for me and that feeling envelops me again. Deep Inside of me, I can already feel it. The urge to mark her and place my scent on her. The urge to sniff her and get accustomed to her scent becomes very strong and my wolf groans. This is it, I can feel it inside of me. She belongs to me right from the first day I set my eyes on her, the mo
NICHOLAS’s POV. A light groan leaves my lips as I close the document I am reading and I press my back against the chair. It’s been like two weeks since the divorce saga and all I can say is Natalia is settling in well but the workload is a bit too much. When Michelle was around, she helped me take care of the pack house while I focused on work and now because of Natalia's pregnancy, I told her not to work and always rest. I scoff; am I actually thinking about Michelle right now? She is part of my past and I am going to make sure she remains there. My thoughts are cut off when the door opens and Natalia saunters into the study dressed to kill as usual. She never missed a chance to impress me with her perfect body and she has her hair pulled up in the hairstyle that I love the most. “You are still working?” She asks as she walks up to me, “it’s already late” “I just have to finish up with these documents” I tell her, “maybe in like thirty minutes I will be done” “Hmmm
ENZO’s POV. Tonight has been the most overwhelming night of my life and I need a lot of time to process what has happened but right now I am seated in my study with Melisa sitting in front of me. I had helped Michelle go to bed after we got back and we both decided to keep everything that happened a secret until we are able to figure out everything that’s going on. She had to also rest early because she is supposed to go to the hospital in the morning and that’s why I put her to bed early. I just want to finish with Melisa and crawl into bed beside her. With this at the back of my head, I press my back against the chair and turn my attention to the deranged Melisa. “Have the healer checked your wounds?” I ask her. “Yes master, she gave me some herbs to take” “Tell me, what did Diego do to you?” “He didn’t do anything to us at first, master,” Melisa begins to talk, “he kept us in separate rooms until two days ago when he asked us to tell him your schedule and how yo
MICHELLE’s POV. It was about 12 midnight when a knock resonated on the door and I pulled my eyes open. I was expecting to see Enzo curled up beside me but rather his sister is the one standing in front of my door with a huge grin on his face. “Izzy?” “Hmm, Enzo said to make sure you take your drugs. I guess I am going to be doing the nanny duty now” “Don’t mind him, I already have my alarm set for that” I tell her, “where is he though?” “He went out to Santa Monica, he will be back soon” At the mention of Santa Monica my forehead creases into a frown, he didn’t tell me he was going to Santa Monica. “You should take your drugs though” After she is done, Izzy turns around and walks towards the elevator while I make my way back into the room again It is clearly after midnight and he is in Santa Monica? Slumping back on the bed, I pick up my phone and dial his number but it didn’t even connect. What the hell is he doing? I try to connect with him but i can not, i
MICHELLE’s POV. Sitting in front of the doctor, my heart continues to beat fast against my rib cage. How I wish Enzo was here with me but he has a meeting that he can not miss but he promised to be here soon. With him beside me, I will surely feel better because right now; my whole being is in turmoil. The old man clears his throat before raising his head to meet my gaze. “Miss Michelle” he presses forward against the chair and drops the document on the table, “I have gone through your file” “What did you find?” Lawrence asks him. “It is just as you have said, we can not delay the surgery anymore, you have less than a week to live. The tumor has covered every part of your womb” My heart drops to my feet as his words filter into my ear. This is not the kind of news I was expecting, I thought a miracle was going to happen but I guess I am only a pawn in the hands of the moon goddess. “So I am going to die?” “It is a very slim chance, ma’am” the old doctor says, “we
ENZO’s POV. Sitting in front of the sea of eyes before me, my mind is not even on the meeting going on right now. Michelle went into surgery four hours ago and how I want to be there for her but I am stuck in this meeting which she made me promise to attend. Looking back at my watch, I still have an hour before everyone is done with their pitch and I am not sure how long I can take it anymore. “Can you not go a little faster?” My voice resonates in the entire room and the man on the podium bows a little. “Yes sir” he answers and I roll my eyes at him as my thoughts go back to Michelle. I want to be beside her and let her know that everything will be fine. My thoughts are interrupted when the mobile in front of me begins to ring and when I see the caller ID, my heart skips a beat. Michelle is surely putting me on my toes. I pick up the phone and press it against my ear. “Tell me” “There is trouble, Enzo” Lawrence says from the other end and I immediately jump out of
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning mum” the two of us air kiss before she helps me to sit. After Malachi left for Texas this morning, I decided to come stay home until he gets back. It was not a decision I made on my own, he made me promise to come back home to my parents until he gets back and I did. It’s been so I decided to come see my parents.“Where is dad?” I ask mum.“He has a meeting in his study” she replies, “let me make you some soup. You can go and say hi to him”“Okay mum”I watch her walk towards the kitchen before I also walk towards the elevator. They have a lot of servants but mum always prefers to cook for us and for dad. Dad has practically stopped asking her not to go to the kitchen. Anything to make his wife happy.As soon as I push dad’s door open, his face lights up and a smile spreads across it.“Who do we have here?” He asks, removing the glasses that is perched beautifully on his face. This man, he can give other older handsome men a run for their money because wha
BRYER’s POV.He has gone against everything that I believe in, my love and my hatred for him. He killed Rome, the only person who saw me as family in this damned world. He killed him and sent his body to me. For this, I will make him pay. I love him but he has made a mistake, a mistake that I will never be able to forgive. Maybe this is what we need, becoming arch enemies.I didn’t bat an eyelid taking the battered body of Rome to his front door. I want him to always remember what he did and how Rome looked when he died. I want Malachi to always remember that he is a murderer and he will pay for what he did. I love him to death but I also hate him in the same way.“Malachi!!” I continue to yell out his name, not caring if he is sleeping. I mean, how can he sleep? He killed one of his kind, he must face the consequences of his actions and I will take my revenge on him. Up until now I have been holding back because I love him and I want to be with him but now I am going to make it my li
MALACHI’s POV.For the rest of the night, I can’t even keep my eyes off of her. She looks beautiful, so extraordinary, like someone straight out of the painting. Everything on her body is spectacular and she can give every fucking model a run for their money.When we entered the restaurant to have dinner, I couldn't help but notice the waiters ogling at her like they wanted to eat her whole but they were wise enough to keep their stupid fantasies to themselves.“How did you enjoy dinner?” I ask her on our way home, a huge grin on her face.“Well” she shrugs, “it was good but the most exciting part is that I got to spend enough time with you today. I mean I loved every single moment of it. Thank you so much baby, I really appreciate everything you do for me”“Well, I live to please” I pull her closer and press a gentle kiss on her forehead, “now we have to get you home and Into bed. You need all the rest you can get okay?”“Of course my love”Odette leans into my embrace and closes he
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as the car pulls up in front of the building, my jaw fucking drops to the ground. This is the Lincoln Center for the performing Arts, one of the most notable opera houses in New York City. I have never been here but I love operas. I guess it’s one of the perks of living amongst humans.“What are we doing here, Mason?”“Well” he shrugs, “don’t really know”Someone opens the car door for me and helps me step out.“Mrs Hernandez, we have been waiting for you” he says and I flash him a smile, “I am in charge of taking you inside to your seat”“Okay?” My eyes dart across the two men.“I am Brandon, I will be your chaperone for tonight”“Is my husband here?” I start to look around but I didn’t see a sign of him or his car.“We will have to go inside to see that” he flashes me a toothed smile again as Mason comes to stand beside me.“Sister in law, I will come at exactly eight to pick you up, okay?”“You aren’t coming in?”“Of course not”With a nod, he turns around and
ODETTE’s POV.We all watch in horror as the man hands me the card and I cringe when I read it.Even if you go away from me, even if you are a million places away from me, I still love you Odette. I have never stopped loving you and I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me. This is me wishing you a happy anniversary”The more I read, the more I cringe. What the hell? Did he actually write this? So cliche and so bad, it doesn’t even bring a smile to my face.“I think you need to take these back, Mr” I tell him, “return them to the person who sent you”“I don’t think…“Take them away” Malachi growls, “and I mean now” his eyes darken and I know he is trying to hold himself from getting upset. I can’t even blame him, I mean how can my ex husband send me a truck load of flowers to my new husband’s house? Is he insane?“You should take these away before I put my hands on you” Kayden tells him and the man fidgets a little.“Okay sir”We all watch as he drives off and I let out a h
MALACHI’s POV.Today, I planned to stay at home all day with my wife, watching her favorite movies and fucking her into oblivion but a certain police commissioner couldn’t do his job, now here I am fully dressed up in my suit sitting across from him. The click click of my ball pen cuts through my train of thought and I realise I had been talking to me.“What did you say?” I ask him.“My apologies for what happened, Mr Bromte” he says again and I scoff.“Tell me what actually happened? You said it was safe right? How did someone get their hands on it?”“We are still trying to find that person, Mr Bromte” he says again, “I will keep you posted on…“Do I look like a fool to you?” I cut him off and a look of uncertainty flashes through his face. One thing I can not tolerate is someone lying to me, I hate it, I hate it so much that it makes my blood boil and the only thing I want to do now is grab him by the neck and make him spill the truth. Aside the fact that I try to do things in order
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning baby” Malachi says as I step out of the shower. He is clad in a pair of grey sweatpants and a white Tee. His hair in a messy bun while he has a bored look on his face.I look at the time and it’s already past seven.“Aren’t you going to work today?” I ask him, making my way towards the vanity table but instead of answering, he pulls his huge body off the bed and starts walking towards me like a panther wanting to pounce on his prey. As soon as he gets to me, he encircles my waist from behind and presses a gentle kiss on my bare back.“I am not going to work today” he whispers into my ear, “today, I am going to stay at home all day”“I thought you had a lot of work?”Another kiss to the back and my insides heat up. We haven’t been intimate in a few days and I can’t lie, I miss him but the recent happenings have kept us on our toes. I missed him , I missed having him buried inside of me, I missed looking like a mess underneath him.“What’s going on in that fi
BRYER’s POV.I didn’t expect to find Malachi's wife here but seeing her with him and seeing the way Zachary kept looking at her until she left made me upset. He should be over her by now and he shouldn’t even be looking at her that way. I am mad at him yes but that doesn’t mean I have forgotten how my body felt underneath him. I can’t lie, he and Malachi are beasts when it comes to the bedroom game. I want to feel Malachi inside of me again but since I can’t have him yet, Nicholas can do that for me.“I didn’t know your ex wife still visited you” I say out loud, dropping my bag on the table and covering the space between us.“It’s none of your business, Bryer,” he tells me, lowering himself on the couch. “I know why she came here, she wanted to get the truth out of me and I told her. I know I would be arrested sooner or later but the fact that she came here to our house Is enough for me. I killed our unborn baby too, this is the least I can do for her. I care about her more than anyth
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning ma” the house help greets as she opens the front door. She must be new because I have not seen her before.“Where is Zach?”“He has gone for a run, ma’am”“Good, I will wait for him”With that, I step into the house but she tries to stop me.“I don’t know you ma”“You do not need to know me, young lady” I gently cut her off, “just ring your master and let him know that Odette has come to see him. He should be running back in no time”Not saying anything again, I go further into the house and for a little while, my heart breaks again. The four walls of this house once held my happiness and everything, Zach and I shared everything we possibly could but now it looks tainted, like the devil himself had come to stay here. It no longer looks like the house I shared with my ex husband, it was now part of a mistake I should never make again. Nothing has changed in the house but everything looks different, even our wedding pictures are still hanging on the wall. Did
