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
MICHELLE’s POV.With trembling hands, I collect the paper from the doctor and continue to stare back at it. I was not expecting what he said a few minutes ago. How can I be pregnant? Was this some kind of joke? He said I couldn’t get pregnant right? I have been trying for two years now and my efforts yielded superfluous dejections so this is why the result in my hand has me trembling. Three years of being the Luna of my pack has got me trying to produce an heir to the legendary pack of the shadow warriors but I could not.My husband, Alpha Nicholas would be so happy to hear this news. After all, we have been trying together.When I was just sixteen years old; my mate manifested himself. I worked at the pack kitchen with my aunt after my father and my mother died from a pack war when trying to save Nicholas and since then, aunt decided to just make meals for the pack house.On that fateful day, I found out that Nicholas was my mate and I was damn too excited, he was the talk of many
I gently open my eyes as the gloomy day dawns upon me. Last night was the most terrifying day of my life and I badly wanted to think it was a dream but here I am on the bed with Nicholas’s side cold and unlaid.Tears well up in my eyes but I try to push it to the back of my head, the divorce papers are lying on the table beside me while the pregnancy report is just by the side. One contained my happiness and the other contained my pain. My three years of marriage have come crashing to the ground with a loud bang, I feel like a weakling.I grab the divorce papers again and stare down at it, the words are dancing before my eyes. The fact that Nick’s signature is staring back at me makes everything so unbearable. Did he even hesitate before signing this? Did he even have a second thought before penning down his signature? A lot is going on in my head as I continue to look at the papers in my hand. I can no longer contain the tears and it hurts so much, I can feel my legs go weak. Dropp
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
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 gen
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

ODETTE’s POV.By the time I open my eyes again, I am on a soft bed in a semi dark room with rain splattering on the window. Letting out a sigh, I gently pull my body to a sitting position as the thoughts of what happened a while ago becomes fresh in my head again. Not only did Zach and that lady inject me with wolfsbane to weaken my wolf, he forcefully took my blood but he couldn’t take the venom because I couldn't transform, he also forced me to sign the divorce papers.Now thinking about it, tears well up in my eyes. This must be how mother felt when dad served her divorce papers. I mean, I loved him and gave him everything he ever wanted, how could he betray me like this and all for what?The more I think about it, the more I find it hard to believe that he would do that to me. That is Zach, my mate, my husband. How could he look me in the eyes and treat me the way he did.Leaning forward, I switch on the bedside lamp and I almost have a heartache when I see the man seated on the
MALACHI’s POV.I wake up feeling a bit uneasy and I don’t know why. Nothing seems to be the problem, the pack house back in Texas is okay. My little brother is fine and everything at work is pretty good so I genuinely do not know why it feels like something is wrong but i can not place it.I have been angry for a while now, seeing that her husband is back and she seems so happy with him. It’s not like I want her to be sad but I don’t just know why the moon goddess is trying to mess with me in this way.My phone vibrates and Bryer’s name pops up.We haven’t spoken in a week and I was enjoying my peace and quiet.Clenching my jaw together, I finally pick up my phone.“Hello”“If I don’t call you, you won’t call me Malachi” she says from the other end.“I have been really busy,” I tell her.“How am i supposed to know that when you wont even let me into your mind”“Why did you call?”“Let's have dinner together, Malachi” she suggests again, “I am coming back to town today and I really li
ODETTE’S POV.A week later.I am seated in the room in the pack house, Zach has gone for a meeting with a few of the pack members. Apparently they are a few wolf hunters that have been invading the pack and luckily a few of them have been caught.Last week, we were able to secure the deal, the money was given to Zach and now we are waiting for the feedback from the investors. Dad and mum left a few days after then and we talk everyday, mum is fine and I know for a fact that she will live. She is a strong woman, she didn’t crumble the first time and she won’t crumble now.The pack house is beautiful but everyone seems to walk on eggshells with me and Zach. For the past week we have spent here, I have seen how ruthless Zach is. His word is his law and I see how swiftly he gets things done. I can’t help but be proud of him the most, I always knew he was going to be a force to be reckoned with. Now the only thing we need to do now is focus on our lives and our future. My thoughts are int
ODETTE’s POV.Getting a hold of myself, I walk into the conference room again and now, father is the one talking. I try as much as possible not to glance at Malachi again because I know his fucking gaze are still on me.Flashing a smile on my face, I sit near Zach and he gently grabs a hold of my hand under the chair, a gesture which makes my lips curl up and from the corner of my eyes, I see Malachi’s face tense up.“You took too long,” he whispers to me.“My strap came off”“Well, ladies and gentlemen” father’s voice reaches my ear again, “we have listened to what Zachary has said, so do you have anything to say concerning that?”Everyone is silent for a moment until I see Malachi gently rise from his chair and my eyebrows hit my hairline.“Well, eight hundred million dollars is not a small amount of money Mr Zachary, so what’s your guarantee that you will be getting this project after getting this money? Well, permit me to say this, I am not a full member of the board of Avanti an
ODETTE’s POV. I wake up to the sound of Zach talking into the phone in hush tones, a slight frown appears on my face as I pull my body to a sitting position. This has been going on for days now, he talks into the phone late in the night and he always looks worried. Grabbing my night robe, I pull out of bed and make my way towards the balcony. The moment he sees me, he immediately ends the call and plasters a fake smile on his face. “What’s going on, Zach?” I ask him. “It’s nothing princess” he replies, “sorry for waking you up, you should go back to bed” It is clearly a lie, I wish I could read his thoughts just like he reads mine but I don’t know why he blocked me out. I can neither read his thoughts nor even know what’s going on in his mind. “What does that even mean?” I ask again, “since you got back, you have been acting strange. Tell me, what’s going on with you, babe? Is there an issue at the pack house?” “No, not that” he answers, “Zuni is doing a good job in my ab
I immediately pull away from him, I genuinely do not like the way my body is reacting to his touch. I shouldn’t be feeling that way with another man ever.“I have to go” I grab my bag and rush out of the house, no, I can’t let that happen.I don’t even give him an opportunity to come after me because the moment I get to my car, I zoom off before he appears in front of my car again.As soon as I turn on the main road, I bring my car to a halt before letting out a huge sigh.What the hell was I thinking agreeing to stay for dinner and even agreeing to stay and do the dishes with him? What the hell was I thinking letting him kiss me? What the heck was I thinking letting him touch me and letting my imaginations run wild.Zach will be so disappointed in me, how can I let that happen? A wolf is bound to its mate for the rest of its life so why the heck did I allow another man touch me?I press my head against the headrest and close my eyes, this isn’t right and this shouldn’t happen ever ag
