MALACHI’s POV.Watching her finally fall asleep, I let out a sigh of relief. She has cried so much that it broke my heart and I don’t know why. I don’t particularly want to see her in pain but I don’t know why I am more concerned about her though.Her wounds are slowly healing and I am glad about that.Standing up from the bed slowly, I switch on the bedside lamp before making my way out of the room and shutting the door behind me.Walking back to my favorite chair near the furnace, I lower myself on as the thought of Odette winds its way into my head again. She was in so much pain and I could see it. I genuinely want to sink my claws into Zach’s chest and watch him die slowly.The mobile on the table beside starts to ring and seeing it is my assistant Emily, I immediately answer the call.“Hello”“Sir” her voice filters through, “we have a problem”“What happened now?”“We are unable to get a hold of the male lead that is supposed to take part in the movie, “survivor” we have called
ZACHARY’s POV.Plopping down on the chair, I massage the space between my brows as anger continues to wash over me. How did she escape and no one could stop her? It is still so annoying that someone entered my pack house and took her and not one of them could stop the person. The worst part is that no one saw his face. He killed two of my men and left like he fucking owned the place:I lean forward on the chair as my gaze falls on the three men standing in front of me. They were supposed to be guarding her and now..“Are you going to tell me the truth now?” I ask, my voice unusually low, “because I find it hard to believe that someone will walk into the pack house, take her and none of you was able to stop him? What's the worst part? You didn’t even see his face? How dumb is that?”“Sorry Alpha” one of them says, “we are still looking for them”“Are you nuts?” I spring up from my chair in anger, grabbing him by the neck and shoving him towards the wall, “you should be thankful to the
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as I lower myself on the seat, an air hostess comes at me with a huge smile on my face. “We are getting ready to take off now ma’am” she tells me, “anything you need?”“Not at all” I flash her another smile, “but thank you”Malachi left forNew York yesterday because he had to meet with Kayden before shooting started but I opted to stay back in Virginia for a while to regroup. I am still in awe of what Zach did to me. I still can’t believe that the man I loved all my life could look me in the eyes and do this to me. He hurt me, he hurt me so much that I am not sure when I am going to recover yet. Tying me up, taking my blood and forcing me to sign those papers is something I will never be able to forgive him for doing that to me, for making me remember the trauma my mother had to pass through. Was any man even loyal at all?I close my eyes and press my head against the headrest, letting my thoughts run wild. I haven’t told my parents or siblings and I don’t plan
MALACHI’s POVDropping my phone, I return my attention to the man seated in front of me who is busy on his laptop with Odette hovering over him. Her silver hair is pulled up in a messy bun and the urge to weave my hand through it becomes a little intense so I shift my gaze from her and settle on Elvis again. Back in the car when she told me about Zach threatening her, I swear I wanted to go back to North Carolina and teach that bastard a lesson. How dare he think of threatening her. If she didn’t stop me, I would have been there by now. He hurt her and still dared to threaten her, how shitty could he be?“What’s going on, Elvis?”“I am trying to hack into his phone sir” he responds, “it’s difficult with only his phone number but I am trying”“Well, try harder” my patience is wearing thin at this moment, “I don’t want my woman’s stuff out there”The words are out of my mouth before I can even stop myself and I find her looking at me, a bewildered look on her face.“Can we talk for a
ODETTE’s POV.When I found out I was pregnant a day ago, it felt like my whole world came to a fucking standstill. Like how could I be pregnant for a man like him? Believe me, I was devastated and I actually thought about getting rid of the baby. I couldn’t give birth to Zach’s child, I couldn’t give birth to a baby whose father didn’t want me. It made me remember what my mother had to go through. Now I understood the kind of pain she must have experienced when her mate rejected her for her own sister.Now standing in front of Malachi and with the way he is looking at me, my world shatters. I didn’t expect him to judge me, I didn’t expect him to have that look in his eyes. It isn’t my fault that I got pregnant by my husband.Letting out a sigh, I slowly move away from him, wiping the tears from my face.“You see” I force a smile on my lips, “we can not be together, Malachi. I am pregnant with another man’s child and that’s the truth. You have a mate, stick to that”“You do not get to
ODETTE’s POV.For the longest moment, the two of us stand there looking at ourselves. I am still trying to understand why he is so into me when his mate literally left a while back but part of me wants it, everything he is offering, I love it and I want it. I want everything he is giving me, the care, the warmth and everything he has to offer but my mind is split in two. How can I take another woman’s man? I have never heard where an alpha was mated to two Luna’s before.“Please” his words jolts me out of my thoughts again and I let out a sigh.“I have to be at the pack house” I tell him, “my help is needed”“Let me come with you,” Malachi responds.“No, it’s fine. I can manage”He raises an eyebrow at me, his gaze intensifying with each passing moment.“You are pregnant, Odette. Let me take you to the pack house and that’s final. I understand you can do it yourself but let me, I want to”He didn’t wait for my response before making his way towards the door but stood again.“Change i
BRYER’s POV.An hour ago.When Malachi opens the door, a huge grin appears on my face as I rush into his embrace. I haven’t seen him in like forever but he doesn’t look excited to see me. Well, he has always been like this, I just wish he can even pretend to want me and not act this way all the time.I have been away for like a week and he didn’t call or text me. I know he is not particularly happy about the fact that we became mates despite being friends but he has forgotten when I told him I was madly in love with him and I would do anything to make him mine. Has he ever looked at himself in the mirror? I mean, he is the most gorgeous man I have ever seen with eyes that feel like they are bearing a hole into me. I mean, I would have been mad if he didn’t belong to me and I am going to do everything to keep it that way no matter what.“What are you doing here, Bryer?” His voice cut into my reverie and I gently pull away from him, his gaze on me and he has an expressionless look on h
ODETTE’s POV.His gaze remains on me as I continue to pace up and down the room. What the heck happened a while back? How did we get in that position? How did he…Fuck!! That wasn’t supposed to happen. Yes, I felt it and none of us could stop ourselves but that didn’t mean we could commit such an atrocity against the moon goddess.I gently touch the nape of my neck and I can still feel the roughness from his fangs. How was he able to mark when he had a mate? At this point, I don't even know what has happened.“You are going to get dizzy pacing like that” his voice halts me and I turn to face him. He looks indifferent like we haven’t just committed a sin. How can he sit there looking so relaxed and so….“Do not forget that you are pregnant” Malachi further adds.“Really?” I plop down on the chair opposite him, “we just did something wrong and all you care about is the fact that I am pregnant?”“What did we do wrong, bubbles”“You have a fucking mate”“A mate whose presence I never felt
ODETTE’s POV.My hands are still trembling from before and the only thing I want now is to hug my husband and tell him how much I love him. Right now there is not Breyer or Zachary, it’s just me and Malachi, us, our world.I look at the time again and it’s already been fifteen minutes since I called him, he should be pulling up by now. Like the moon goddess is on my side, I hear the gates open and his car drives in. Excitement surges through my entire body as I manage to hold my smile. With one final look at the mirror, I pick up the bouquet of flowers that’s on the table beside me before heading over to the door.The door opens up and his familiar scent fills my nose before he appears looking dapper in his brown suit and his hair slicked back to perfection.His face immediately breaks into a smile as his eyes travel over me.“Someone is looking hot” Malachi says, “what’s the occasion baby?”“Here” I hand him the bouquet.“Guys get flowers too?”“Come on” I can’t help but smile light,
ZACHARY’s POV.Standing in front of hundreds of eyes a few days after my investigation started is actually not the right thing to do but being involved with Bryer has caused me so much already and I genuinely want my wife back. If this is the price I have to pay in order to get my wife back, I am more than willing to pay for it. The only thing I want now is to get my wife back and we can stay happy together. I am actually tired of seeing her with Malachi. I want to see her happy and smiling with me. That’s the only thing that matters to me and I don’t care how I do it, I just want her.“You can start now,” the person standing beside me says. She is Malachi’s assistant and seeing the smug look on his face as he is seated at the back of the hall aggravates me the most. I hate that he always gets the upper hand in this, I hate that I have to do this in front of him.Letting out a sigh, I clear my throat lightly before pulling the microphone towards me.“Good evening everyone and thank y
BRYER’s POV.“Due to the injury, you won’t be able to wolf out for a while” Jacquline tells me and I ball my hands into a fist, this is four days after Odette attacked me. I left the hospital after footing the bills in the Bahamas and I came straight home.For four days I have been unable to move and it’s all thanks to that bitch I am going to hold her by her neck and make sure she pays for everything she has done to me.“I made some tonic for you, you will be fine soon” Jacquline says again.“Thank you”“I will take my leave now so you can rest”“Before that” I stop her, “don’t forget what we talked about”“Of course”With a little smile, she walks off while I am left to my musing again. Odette, that motherfucking bitch. I am going to make sure she pays for what she did to me and Malachi, I won’t let him line in peace either.Someone opens my front door again, making my forehead crease into a frown.“Jacqueline?”“Would she dare come here?” A familiar voice filters into my ear and my
ODETTE’s POV.The moment a knock resonates on our door, I allow Malachi to open it while I sit on the dining table. My mind on how to make her pay for what she did. I have let her go a lot of times and she actually thinks I am a weakling. This time around, she is going to wish she didn’t mess with me again.As soon as she steps in, Malachi’s face changes for the worst, he looks disgusted.“Aren’t you going to welcome me?” She asks, “thanks to me, you are popular again”“Speak to me and not my husband” I cut her off, “I am the one who asked the receptionist to let you in. I mean shouldn’t you be allowed to crash our honeymoon since you are a distinguished guest?”I stand up and this is when Malachi’s eyes open wide the moment he sees me with the baton, even Bryer takes a step back.“I mean, you are too important for me to ask the receptionist to send you back. You caused such a scandal back in America and you jumped right on the next available plane to the Bahamas, you are something ar
MALACHI’s POV.The scent of my favorite dish finds its way into my nose as I make my way out of the room after taking a shower. I need no one to tell me who is in the ensuite kitchen because I know it’s my wife. No matter how many times I tell her not to bother about cooking, she never seems to listen but I have made peace with that. She can do whatever she pleases and I will be behind her to guild her and take care of her.Besides we are on our honeymoon, she can do as she pleases. I can only watch her and admire her, thanking the moon goddess for blessing me with a beautiful soul such as hers.“Sleepy head” her face breaks into a smile when she sees me, “i thought you wouldn’t wake up”“How can’t I?” I round the kitchen counter and snake my hands around her waist, “I have the most beautiful woman so I should always try to live up to that. This smells delicious” I look over her shoulder before pressing a kiss on her cheek“Well, you always cook for me so i decided to return the favor
ODETTE’s POV.Malachi wraps his hands around my waist while I lean into his embrace. Our hotel suite is facing the ocean directly and it looks so beautiful. Part of me wishes that we can stay here for all of eternity without having to worry about anyone or anything. We have been here for three days and I can tell you that they are the best three days of my life after my wedding.I am still in awe of how Malachi was able to come up with such an amazing wedding ceremony. I am still having the jitters from the many gifts he got me. I mean he is the best husband one can ask for and I am glad he is mine for all of eternity.“What are you thinking about, wifey?” His voice filters into my head and I can’t help but smile. Wifey! I love the sound of that.“Nothing my love, just basking in the glory of our honeymoon. I can literally not get enough of it”His soft chuckle reaches my ear and my body tingles. No matter how many times I have heard this man speak or laugh, I genuinely can't get enou
ZACHARY’s POV.The more I keep looking at the pictures, the more I feel like smashing everything in front of me to the ground. She looks happy, she looks happy with him when it should have been me, when I should be the one standing beside her and smiling like that. Malachi has his hands on my woman’s waist, fuck I want to kill him, I want to make him pay for taking her away from me.My thoughts are interrupted when a knock resonates in my ears and my assistant makes her way in.“Sir, the reporters would not leave”I let out a sigh, they have been standing in front of my gates all morning after the pictures of Odette and Malachi have been circulating around the internet. Massaging the space between my brows, I finally drop my phone and I stand up.“Since they are so nosy, let’s give them something to talk about.I am dressed in a casual pair of grey joggers and a white T-shirt but I don’t care about that, they came to meet me in my house so they will meet me as I come.“Okay sir”In no
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.
