MICHELLE’s POV.
As soon as the doctor’s words filter into my ears as I sit in front of him , my heart skips a beat. This is not the kind of news I am expecting, how can my baby be in danger now when i just conceived. My heart is shattered into a thousand pieces and I can feel the tears falling from my eyes. “You need to put yourself together, Luna” the doctor says again and I sniff back a tear. I need to be strong, this is not the time for me to cry. Crying won’t solve what I am already going through. “Tell me” I finally find my voice, “what are the chances?” “Well” he leans forward towards me, “the tumor can be managed with medication but i am not sure for how long ma’am” “I will keep the baby” I announce and a small frown appears on his face. “What do you mean? Didn’t you hear me, Luna ? A tumor is.. I immediately interrupt him, “I have been craving a child for the past three years, doctor and I can not throw these ones away because of a tumor. Since it can be managed by medecine, I will go with that. My baby should be given a chance to live right?” I force a smile on my face and my mind drifts off to Nicholas for a moment. He is supposed to be here with me, he is supposed to be giving me the emotional support that I need but instead he chooses to stay with her and now. I clean the tears falling down my eyes and force my smile to widen. “I do not know for how long we have to rely on the medication, Mrs Michelle” “I am willing to take the risk” I tell him, “I am willing to do anything and everything to protect this baby . Please help me” at this moment, I don’t care if I am the almighty Luna of our pack. I just want my baby to be fine and that’s all” “Okay then” he finally agrees, “if you are willing to take the risk, I am willing to help you all the way. “But one thing” it suddenly occurs to me, “you must not mention anything about my pregnancy or the tumor to Nicholas” “Why, Luna?” The frown on his forehead intensifies, “I think your husband ought to know” “I am ordering you as your Luna, doctor. You can not breathe a word of this to him, okay?” He lets out a heavy sigh, “I will do as you say, ma’am” “Hmmm” Bracing myself, I push my body out of the chair before sniffing back another set of new tears that forms In my eyes. A lot is going on in my head but I have no one to share it with. Just one day and my sister has ruined everything for me. “I will take my leave now and I will keep in touch” Saying that, I make my way out of the office and slump on the chair just outside the office. It feels like my whole world has come to a standstill and I am about to lose everything I have worked for for the past three years. How can Nicholas do this to me? How can he make a mockery of me in such a way? “Until when will you keep beating yourself up?” My wolf asks inside of me but I completely ignore it and bury my head in between my palms. I am already feeling nauseous and dizzy, I just don’t know what to do. “You should go and talk to Nicholas” my wolf tells me again, “he needs to know what is at stake” I sniff back a tear, maybe it was right. I need to talk to him, I need to speak to him. With this at the back of my mind, I spring up from the chair and make my way outside where my car is parked. “To Nicholas’s office” I tell my chauffeur and he nods before zooming off. ***** “Nicholas..” my voice trails off when I push the door open and I find the two of them in the most compromising position ever. Natalia is sitting on his glass table while Nicholas’s hands are wrapped around her waist and they are both kissing. I almost lose my footing seeing them like this but I hold onto the door frame and steady myself. The two of them gently pull away from each other and I can see how disappointed he looks when his gaze rests upon me. “Can you not knock?” Natalia inquires while rolling her eyes at me. “Is this what you are doing?” I can’t help but ask, “I have not even signed the divorce papers and you are already doing this in the office?” Nicholas gently holds onto her hand and smiles at her, “This is the cue for you to sign the papers dumbass' ' he growls, “and I will not be asking you anymore. I have already asked the servants to prepare your luggage and I have sent a hundred million dollars to your account. You can stay in the house in Beverly Hills until you want to move out. I think I have done more than enough for the relationship we have shared for three years. Michelle” his eyes are full of hatred towards me and tears well up in my eyes. How did everything go wrong? “I have a baby growing inside of me” I also want to yell, “our baby is on the verge of dying” I want to tell him but seeing how lovey dovey he is with Natalia, I can not help but feel disgusted. It is so easy for him to let go of everything we have shared for the past three years. Guess he never loved me. “I think you should sign the papers now, Michelle” Natalia tells me, “haven’t you been humiliated enough? What more do you want?” Sniffing back a tear, I throw my bag open and bring out the papers. Pressing them on the table, I scribble my signature on it and leave it on the table. “I have always looked up to you Nicholas” I start to talk, “but I can see that you were not worth it even from the beginning. I did everything to make this relationship work but I guess.. “You don’t need to talk much” Nat continues, “no one actually needs your lectures” I smile through tears, “I can not say I wish you happiness because I hope your life is full of problems and pains for what the two of you have done to me” Not bothering to wait for any of their responses, i turn around and walk out of the office. The tears are falling in torrent but it is the end now. I have lost everything I have worked so hard for. Just as I get to the door, her voice reaches my ear again. “If you at that angry, you shouldn’t take what Nicholas is offering you” her voice is lace with mockery and sarcasm, “I mean he gave you more than enough for three years” “I do not need anything from him” i turn to look at him for a moment, his eyes glued to the lady in front of him, which breaks my heart the most. Sniffing back pain and tear, I slam the door close behind me. The pain is too much for me to bear, in feels like I am about to lose my life. The pain in my chest was too much and I can not breathe. “Luna '' my driver calls as I walk to the car, “are you okay! Don’t you feel fine?” “Adrian” I gently call out his name, “can you book a hotel for me?” His face scrunches up, he is definitely confused. “But.. “Do as I have said Adrian” I tell him, “I really need all the rest I can get now” “Of course Luna” He helps me into the car and in no time he zooms out of the premises. As I press my head against the headrest and close my eyes, the tears continue to fall.MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as I lower myself on the bed, my mobile begins to beep. Seeing it was one of Nicholas’s lawyers, I let out a heavy sigh before clicking on the receive button. “Hello” “Madam, sir Nicholas sent over the divorce papers via email. I think we should meet and discuss how to settle this. He want to add more alimony for you” “You can go ahead and process it. Mind you, I am not in need of the alimony, he can keep his money for all I care” “Why don’t you tell me your location, I will come over” “You don’t have to meet me, Mr Smith” I tell him, “just do as Nicolas has told you, I am not in the mood to meet anyone from his side. I immediately end the call and I fling the phone on the bed as my mind drifts off to Nicholas again. All my life, I thought I married the perfect gentleman and alpha. The man who was rude to others but gentle with me. I saw Nicholas as a god and this is what he does to me. The more I think about it, the more angry I get. I gently
NICHOLAS’s POV. I have just finished reading the document on my study table when my door pushes open and Lucy saunters into the room. She has a gloomy look on her face and I am guessing the meeting with Michelle didn’t go as she wanted. I had told her not to but my little sister is stubborn, I am glad she learned the hard way. “I am busy, Lucy” I tell her, “why are you here?” “You don’t seem bothered about Michelle?” She asks while lowering herself on the chair in front of me, “I met with her and she was extremely angry, I don’t think.. I cut her short, “do you think I am doing this because I still love Michelle but I want to keep my baby with Natalia?” A frown appears on my forehead as the words spew out of my mouth. “Isn’t that what this is about? Lucy asks further, “you have always wanted a child and she has not been able to produce one for you. I understand that you want to be with Natalia because she is carrying your baby but.” “I love Natalia, Lucy” I tell her, “I lov
NATALIA’s POV. After Nicholas is done talking to the pack members, he leaves to meet with the bounty hunters while I decide to take a tour around the pack house. It had been three years of not seeing the building, three years of being away from him, three years of letting Michele do as she pleased. Three years ago, I watched her take him away from me and I couldn't do anything. I left the pack house in shame but now I was back to take what belongs to me. No matter how tough everything gets, I must make sure Nicholas never thinks about getting back with that sister of mine anymore. I know he won’t do that, after all I have his heir growing inside of me. “Natalia” my thoughts were interrupted when I hear someone call my name from behind me and I turn to see his sister. I almost roll my eyes, I know she didn’t like me so why won’t she keep her distance from me? “For someone who doesn’t like me, you sure pester me a lot, Lucy” I don’t bother to hide the loathing in my voice. S
MICHELLE' s POV. The beeping of my mobile resonates in my ears and I gently open my eyes before pushing my body to a sitting position. Picking up my phone, it is my aunt and for a moment I don’t know if I should answer the call. She must have heard what happened at the pack house and I know for a fact that she wants to give me an earful. The phone in my hand continues to ring and left with no other choice, I click on the receive button before pressing the phone against my ear. “Hello” “You brat” she sounds furious, “how dare you leave without even telling me, Mish?” “I am sorry aunt” I say out loud, “Everything happened so fast and I didn’t have time to think, I had to leave immediately” “But why, why would you leave your home and your pack just because Natalia is back, I thought you were stronger than this my dear” “Look aunt” I rake my fingers through my wavy hair as she sigh left my lips, “Nicholas wanted me gone and I didn’t want to argue with him. He finds Natalia b
MICHELLE’s POV. The moment I set my eyes on them, my heart skips a beat hoping that neither of them heard what I have discussed with the doctor. My heart is beating fast against my ribcage as the two of them walk up to us. “Hello sir” the doctor stands up with respect, “I wasn’t expecting you” “I brought my fiancée for a check up” Nicholas announces and I gulped while the doctor looks at me for a split second. I am sure he must understand why I have begged him not to allow Nicolas in on what is happening. “But it seems you have a visitor” Natalia begins to speak, her eyes rolling to the back of her head and her face looking as expressionless as it can be. I understand the fact that she hates me and I don’t like her either, not when she is responsible for breaking my life into a thousand pieces. “I was just about to leave” I finally find my voice and turn to the doctor, “I will give you a call” “Why are you at the doctor?” Nicholas’s voice filters into my ear and I freeze fo
ENZO’s POV, I have just brought the car to a sudden halt in front of the hospital when the lady who is standing away from my car collapses. I rush out of the car and run towards her but by now she is already unconscious. Cussing silently, I gather her up in my arms and rush towards the hospital. I just arrived from the airport and I didn’t get a chance to go to my hotel before rushing to the hospital, apparently the patient waiting for me was getting worse. As soon as I enter the hospital, a group of doctors rush towards them and they all look surprised seeing me with a lady in my arms, i am also surprised myself but this is not the time for that. “Doctor Enzo” the hospital director bows lightly as he walks up to me. “Put her on bed rest and administer some medicine for her, she passed out just now. I will come to see her after my operation” “Yes doctor” With one last look at the lady who is being wheeled away, I hasten towards the elevator. Time is of the essence now
MICHELLE’s POV. The moment my eyes flutter open, I am shocked to see the man in front of my eyes. He has sharp features like Nicholas but his are more pronounced and his hazel eyes continue to stare back at me while his wavy hair is all over the place. I can’t lie, I am lost for words. How can a man be this beautiful apart from Nicholas! Everything about him is just so perfect that I can not take my eyes off of him, why did he have such rosy lips? Is he a vampire perhaps? A lot is going on in my head as I continue to stare at the angel in front of me forgetting that it was their noise that woke me up. “You are up” his deep and hoarse voice reaches my ears and I can feel a knot in my stomach, his voice is also one to die for. For a moment my mind drifts off to Nicholas and my mood immediately dampens the things he did to me. “Who are you?” I ask him while pushing myself to a sitting position. “I am a doctor” he answers with an eyebrow. “How did I get in here?” I use thi
MICHELLE’s POV. The ride back to the hotel is unusually quiet, he keeps receiving calls and giving orders in a way I don’t even understand. At one time, he even flares up and I even flinch,he isn’t like his looks. He is much more different. I am also not in the mood to start up a conversation so I just focus my attention on the road head and close my eyes. The thought of Nicholas and Natalia fills my heart and I can’t help but feel worse than I already feel. The fact that he brought her to our personal doctor shows how much he wants to get rid of my thoughts and everything that concerns me. couldn’t even believe it when he ventured into the office with his hand snaked around her waist. Nicholas is in a hurry to tell the world that we no longer belong together. It is painful yet disgusting, how could he do that to me? The more I think about it, the more furious I become. “Kobo for your thoughts?” His voice filters into my ear and I abruptly turn to him, he is looking at me
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
