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
ENZO’s POV. TWO DAYS LATER. I groan lightly as I push my body out of the chair, my head is throbbing so badly and I just need to rest it for a while but how can I? It has been two days already and Michelle is yet to wake up. Lawrence has told me it would take some time for her to wake up but I am getting apprehensive about it and most especially because she is pregnant, she can’t be out for too long. “You need to take some rest or you will break down yourself” my wolf advises but I completely ignore it and pick up my phone before dialing a number. “Send all the files to my email, I will check them out today” “Okay sir” my assistant answers from the other end, “one of the models has been involved in an accident sir, I have been calling you but you didn’t answer. She has been rushed to the hospital” I let out a heavy sigh, the show is in a week’s time and a model is involved in an accident? “How bad is the accident?” “I am not sure she will be able to perform sir”
MICHELLE’s POV. “I can walk by myself” I tell Enzo two days later as soon as the car comes to a halt in front of the mansion but he will hear nothing of it. He alights from the car before gathering me up in his arms and making his way into the house. Ever since I woke up two days ago, Enzo has not allowed me to even do anything, he was up and about for me and I couldn't be more thankful. I am even more thankful for the fact that his blood was all the remedy I needed, the fact that he saved me and gave me a new leash on life. If I could ask for one thing from the moon goddess, it would be to keep Enzo happy for the rest of his life because he has shown me what Nicholas couldn’t in three years. When I was in coma, I kept hearing his voice everyday and I wanted to wake up and tell him how grateful I am to have him in my life. I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to open my eyes again but when I did and I saw him in front of me, I was overly excited and happy and now being i
MICHELLE’s POV. The scent of something yummy filters into my nostrils and I slowly open my eyes to see Enzo dropping a tray of breakfast on the bedside table. My face breaks into a smile as soon as I see him, he is my morning dose of happiness. He is dressed in a gray suit and his hair is pulled back in a neat bun, I genuinely can not take my eyes off of him. How can one look so good even in the morning? “Good morning princess” he says and presses a kiss on my lips. “I haven’t even brushed yet” I can’t help but whine and he scoffs. “I know that and I don’t care” he straightens up and pats my hair lightly, “have some breakfast and have your medication. They will arrive soon and you can use them as you please. I have an important meeting this morning which I can not miss” “Do not worry about me, Enzo” I tell him, “I will be fine” “Sure about that?” “Hmmm” I nod, “even if I am not fine, you will be the first person to know that” “Of course” he flashes me a smile, “M
NICHOLAS’s POV. As soon as he ends the call, I fling my phone on the couch and ball my hands into a fist. How dare he talk to me in that manner? Does he know who I am? The more I think about it, the more angry I get. How dare he? So now Michelle thinks she can speak to me as she wants because her little boyfriend is acting like a boss? I am quite sure he doesn’t know who I am and that’s why he must think that I am on the same level with him. Oh, how I will hold him and tear him into a million pieces. I pick up my phone to call her again but I decide against it, I really do not want to hear his annoying voice again. The opening of my door jolts me out of my train of thoughts and I see Pete and Winston walk into my study. “Master” they both bow lightly. “I don’t remember calling for you” I tell the two of them as a frown appears on my face, “why are you here?” “A ruckus is going on at the pack house, master” Pete answers and the frown on my face intensifies. “What
MICHELLE’s POV. The time is already past ten and Enzo is not back yet. Since he left in the afternoon, I have called him four times and his assistant picked every single time telling me he is in a meeting. I know Enzo told me he would be very busy but right now I feel like he is avoiding my calls since he left angrily. I don’t even know what to do and how to go about it, I don’t even know his office. Pressing my back against the couch, I pick up my phone to call him but the sound of the front door opening catches my attention and my eyes immediately light up but seeing Xavier, I can’t help but give a dampening sigh. I actually thought Enzo was the one coming home to me. “Luna” he bows lightly and my heart skips a beat, the name Luna sounds a bit foreign to me now. “I came to get a few things for Enzo” His statement makes a scowl to appear on my face, “What do you mean?” “I guess he will be overworking today, he asked me to get something from his room” The frown o
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
