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
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”
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
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
BRYER’s POV.An hour agoI can not let him go without a fight, I have had our whole life planned out for us. He would mate me and we would travel the world together. I can’t let him leave, not like this.After Zach finishes his call and comes back Into the room, I am already in the shower but I had left a glass of juice for him.“Are you taking a shower?” He calls out to me.“Yes, I kept some juice for you. Make sure to take it”“Yes”I know Zach and I know how ruthless he can be. He is one of the worst wolves on earth after Malachi. Dealing with him requires a deep level of understanding and patience which is what I am doing. Before he finds out anything about me and Malachi, I should get my mate back. If I knew I would be pushing her towards my Malachi, I would never have suggested the divorce to him or made our relationship known.Looking back at myself In the mirror, I can’t help but smirk lightly. I look too good and I know Malachi would not be able to take his eyes off me when h
ODETTE’s POV.The moment I enter my room, I slump on the bed and I allow my thoughts to run wild. Zach had the nerve and he didn’t only do that, he brought her along with him. Believe me, I wanted to tear them into pieces. Who told him he could come and he could bring her. I was so mad and it was because Malachi was there that I was able to keep calm.My door opens up and Malachi saunters into the room. Looking at him, my face breaks into a smile. He has the ability of shifting my mood no matter how shitty it is.“Hey baby” he plops down on the bed beside me, “thought you said you wanted to shower?”“Well, here I am still seated and upset about the fact that that bastard came for the event, he also brought that bitch along with him”“What should we do to alleviate this mood of yours, my love?” He kisses the tip of my nose lightlyHe is smiling and he looks so cute. One thing with Malachi is the fact that he would never discuss things that make me upset, I have noticed that with him co
BRYER’s POV.I stand there gritting in anger as Malachi leads her to his Maybach and in no time, the two of them zoom off the premises.I am about to lose my fucking mind and there he goes with another lady in his car. It should have been me sitting with him in that car and not that lady who was dumped by Zach. It should be me if only that witch did her job well.I clench my teeth in anger trying to calm myself until a hand snake around my waist and Zach’s face comes into view.“Sorry for keeping you,” he says, beaming smiles.“It’s fine. Are you done?”“Yes, we should… the words hang in his mouth when some reporters rush over to us and I can’t help but roll my eyes. Do they never get tired of bombarding people with their stupid questions?“Mr Zach, is it true that you and your wife Mrs Odette got divorced?”“What led to your divorce sir?”“Is this lady the new woman?”“Please say something sir”Their questions are getting on my nerves. Who says I am the other woman? I have known Zach
MALACHI’s POV.After she leaves, the smirk on my face dies off and I return my attention to the bastard still standing in front of me. Who the hell does he think he is? Coming in front of my woman and acting like this? Is he tired of living? I will break him into a million pieces if he dares to go in front of her again, that’s how possessive I have become over the past few days. I want him to know that she is mine and mine alone.“I should have known something was up that day, the way you kept looking at my wife”“Ex wife” I correct him, “don’t say it like you are even worth the air that she breathes, do you understand what I am saying to you, Zachary? How dare you come here, how dare you come in front of her? You are fucking lucky that I did not tear you up when I can’t to save her from your dungeon”“What?” His eyes open wide for a moment, “it was you?”I take a step close to him, I am a bit taller than him so naturally I will look down on him,“What did you think?”“How dare you en
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as I hear what she said, anger envelopes me and the urge to slap Zach hard across the face surge through me. How did he even get here? I didn’t send him an invitation so how dare he? How could he be so shameless to show his face here? A lot of “how could he” is going in my head as I clench my jaw together.“How did he even get in here?” I walk to the door where Malachi is still standing, “I don’t remember sending him an invitation”“Calm down baby” Malachi turns to me, “remember you don’t need any stress right now”“He shouldn’t be here, malachi” I tell him, “how did he….He pulls me into his embrace and envelopes me there. Why the heck am I panicking? He is the one who committed a dirty act and showed up here, he should be ashamed and not me“Hey baby, you need to calm down” he whispers over my hair, patting my back lightly, “please”“You may leave” he tells her again and she closes the door behind her leaving the two of us.Malachi slowly pulls away from me bu
MALACHI’s POV.From the foot of the stage, I see her walk onto the stage looking so beautiful in her black body-con mesh dress with a slit running up her thighs. The dress is clinging onto her body perfectly, accentuating her hourglass figure. Her makeup is mild but looks so perfect on her and the red rouge on her lips make me want to pull her into my embrace and kiss her until no trace of that red lipstick is visible.My lips curl into a small smile as I continue to stare back at her, she is mine, my woman.The hall is already filled up, how I wish I could spend a little time with her before the show starts. She has been busy for most part of the day, same as me and we only got to speak through the phone.“Sister in law looks so pretty” Mason whispers into my ear and my heart swells with pride, I am glad that he is finally warming up to her.“I know right” I answer, “and she is mine to say the least”“Look at you being all proud” he says again and I smirk.My gaze returns to her agai
ODETTE’s POV.“Okay, good” I drop the fabric on the table as I stifle a light yawn, “make sure to have them produce these in much larger quantities” I tell the head of design, “we need to start working on the designs and I need all hands on deck”“Yes ma’am”“Good”It has been a week of work and I feel like my body is about to give up. Fashion week is just a week away and I am trying to handle everything. Dad said he would be back in three days since mum was fine now. Jayden was taking care of London’s fashion week and I am the only one here.Remind me to completely wash my hands off anything that concerns work when everyone comes back.“What time is it?” I ask again.“It’s past eight ma’am”“Wow!!”“Let’s revise the plan again and we can call it a day”“Sure ma’am, I will get everyone to the conference room”Walking out of the store room, I take the elevator to my office and my jaw drops when I walk in and I see Malachi seated on the couch, his attention on his phone.“You didn’t te
