ZACH’s POV.After dropping the call, anger surge through me. I know this can only be Odette’s doing and I am not going to forgive her this time around but one thing, Bryer has to tell me why she went there. It could make sense since he was her alpha but why didn’t she tell me before leaving?Grabbing my jacket from the stand, I hasten out of the house and in no time, I am on my way to imperial regency. I didn’t know Malachi owned that property.It is the most expensive property in the whole of the country with its taxes being the highest too. He is trying to show off? I will show him that I can also make a name for myself. I have already started, it is just a matter of time before both our names are placed side by side.Twenty minutes later, I drive into the compound and I see Bryer seated on the porch, she shoots up from the chair as soon as she sees me and rushes into my embrace. Tears are glistening in her eyes and my anger skyrockets. Should he embarrass me in this way? What has B
ODETTE’s POV.With a heavy sigh, I plop down on the chair as the two of them continue to stare back at me like they do not know me. This is the main reason why I didn’t tell any of them because I know they will get hyper sensitive about everything.“You know you didn’t have to fly back because of this right?” I ask Jayden, “it’s not as serious as you think”“Are you kidding me?” Kayden flares up, “all this was going on and you didn’t deem it fit to let us know? I would have killed that bastard myself if you told me earlier”“I can handle Zach on my own” I tell them, “now can we stop discussing this? Mum gave me an earful earlier today and the two of you won’t let me rest too. I have a lot on my plate right now and I can not think if anything else”“How is Malachi treating you?”“That question reminds me of mum” I say to the both of them and I see how their gaze drops. The fact that mum had gone through the same thing and I am also going through it means the moon goddess is quite aware
ZACHARY’s POV.I angrily throw the documents on the table and all the board members flinch, my eyes travel around the room before settling on the man standing on the podium.“Is this what you have to offer me?” I ask him, “one whole week and this is the rubbish you fucking bring to me?”No one says anything and this angers me the most, do they all think I pay them to laze around and just.. Pulling myself from the chair, I grab my phone.“If you are all not competent enough, I will have the lot of you replaced”“Mr Hills” one of them finally speaks up, “the company is in on the rise now, i believe we can make the most out of this if we decide to partner with Echo”A deep frown forms on my face as I tighten my jaw together. That name is the bane of my existence.“Find other Investors” I tell them, “or you all can submit your resignation letter”With that I storm out of the conference room. It’s been a while since I finally brought my company to the limelight and of course it is doing we
BRYER’s POV.As soon as I drop my phone, I plop on the bed and close my eyes trying to calm my mind. Last night was really rough, I didn’t even know Zachary would end up believing me but he did and that was something I owe to Jacquline. If she didn’t give me that portion from the beginning, how would I have been able to have Zach wrapped around my fingers. He believed me without one single doubt and I hope it remains like that until I can finally get what I want.Now going back to Texas could be dangerous but I need to show Malachi that I am not scared of his threats. We belong side by side, I am the only person who is capable of standing beside him and protecting him when things go haywire.My phone chimes with a message and I pick it up, my forehead creases into an angry frown when I see the content of the message. The idea to check Zachary’s dash cam this morning occurred to me and when I did, I realized it caught everything that happened last night, more than enough to tarnish Od
MALACHI’s POV.Torturing someone who has one way or another gone against me is one of the sweetest things in my world, making them scream in pain and agony makes me and my wolf excited and that is the kind of immense joy I felt a while back, seeing Bryer in that kind of pain. She was my best friend, that would have never happened to her if only she respected boundaries and not called my wife names.Pushing the thoughts of her to her to the back of my head, I make my way into my room and at that moment, a call comes through my phone.Seeing her name pop up on the screen makes a warm smile appear on my face. Plopping down on the bed, I click on the receive button before pressing the phone against my ear.“Hello love” her voice filters through and I immediately feel my anger disappearing. This wife of mine has the power to make or break me and I am not going to stop her from doing whatever she wants with me, that’s how much I love and want her.“I have been calling you” Odette says from
ODETTE’s POV.“Babe?” Malachi calls out to me for the umpteenth time but I just continue facing the wall, not having the energy or the ability to look at him. It hurts, it hurts so badly and there is nothing I can do about it.I struggled to accept the fact that I would give birth to Zachary’s child but I loved the feeling of being pregnant nonetheless. It was my child, mine but it was snatched from me. The more I think about it, the more sad and upset I am. I gently touch my tummy and close my eyes. It is empty now, my child didn’t even get the chance to come into this world..I sniff back a tear, I don’t want Malachi to see me in pain because he is in pain himself. I don’t want him to see me the way I am broken, broken from inside. It’s been two days but it feels like yesterday where I lost my baby. How will I be able to forgive myself for not taking good care of my baby?“Babe?” He calls out again but I continue to ignore him. I can’t even face him, how can I do that without feelin
ZACHARY’s POV.The moment those words reach my ear, my heart skips a beat. What does she mean by my child? What the heck was that? I know Odette and she wouldn’t have kept my child after we broke up. I didn’t even know she was pregnant, how could she call me and tell me something like that?When I went to her house two days ago, I intended to speak to her but seeing her in that condition, I was somewhat happy. She hurt me too, she hurt me and I couldn’t stop myself from injecting her with the wolfsbane before I decided to take her to the hospital. For the time we were together, she didn’t get pregnant but she didn’t hesitate to get pregnant for someone but right mow it feels like my world has come to a fucking standstill.I call her number again but she doesn’t answer. Luckily I am still in New York for a business meeting , I grab my car keys and rush out of the room. I want her to look me in the eyes and tell me those disgusting lies.In no time, my car pulls in front of Malachi’s ho
CHAPTER THIRTY NINE.MALACHI’s POV.I had just finished setting the table for dinner when she walks back into the house looking a bit dejected and tired. I don’t bother asking her what’s wrong because I already know what happened. Seeing her like this breaks my heart. She didn’t say anything for two days and In those two days, it felt like my whole life came to a standstill. She was in pain and I couldn’t do anything about that. It made me feel incapable and unable to take care of my woman.When she showed up at the study earlier, I was happy she was finally out of bed but that didn’t stop her from noticing something was wrong and I had to tell her, I had to break her heart once again. Believe me, I wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to kill an alpha like Zach but she made me promise to wait till the right time. The only thing I can do at this moment is to comfort her and wait for the right time.Letting out a sigh, I make my way towards her and pull her into my embrace. Odette does
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
