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
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.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.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
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
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.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
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.The doorbell rings and I hurry out of the kitchen to open it. Malachi left for the office because he had a meeting, I was asleep when he even left. I decided to make breakfast for myself. At this point I miss Mason, he would have been here to keep me company but I understand that young man is busy with school and I will hate to ruin that.My face breaks into a little smile when I see the person standing outside my door..Emma.“Good morning ma’am” she greets politely.“Good morning Emma, what brings you here?” I open the door wider, “please come on in”“That won’t be necessary ma’am, the boss asked us to bring this for you”This is when I notice the big box the man behind her is carrying.“He said we should have it delivered, he will be home in five minutes to take care of what’s inside”“Okay, please you can keep it in the living room”“Sure ma’am”After he drops the box, he bows lightly and makes his way out again.“Why don’t you stay for breakfast?”“Thank you so much
ODETTE’s POV.When my husband pushes the door open and walks into a room, a frown immediately settles on my face when I see him. He doesn’t have a bruise on his face but I can feel it, he looks tired and a bit worn out.“What happened to you?” I ask him immediately and he comes to sit beside me but instead Malachi pulls me to a hug and rests his head on my shoulder. I allow him to do that, he clearly needs the hug but that still doesn’t stop the fear I felt when I saw him a while back.We stay like that for a while until he finally lets go of me but our faces remain only an inch apart.“Are you okay, babe?”“Hm” he nods with a gentle smile, “I am fine, my love”“Are you lying to me?”“Why would I do that?” He asks me, tucking a few strands of my hair to the back of my ear, “I just had a boxing match with Zachary”“What?” The frown on my face intensifies, why would he even do that? This is unlike Malachi to want to indulge my ex husband more than necessary. Is something going on that I
ZACHARY’s POV.After the call, I push Bryer off of me and pull my half naked body off the bed. After the security led us out of the gala hall last night, she was so upset that she decided to down in alcohol and I ended up going with her. I didn’t want to leave her alone lest she caused another kind of trouble for me. I am still trying to figure out a way to get out of this one. I thought Odette would be happy when I told her but I seem to have forgotten how stubborn that wife of mind is.After drinking her life out, I brought Bryer to my house and we ended up having sex. Sex with her isn’t as exciting as it was from the beginning when everything was fined when I had Odette wrapped around my fingers and I could get her to do anything and everything i wanted. I guess it was the thrill and the adrenaline of that time that kept me going. Now everything felt bland and upsetting. I can’t wait to get my wife back and have my life in order again.“Where are you going?” Bryer asks as she pulls
MALACHI’s POV.By the time I am done with my wife, she looked so exhausted but so fucking beautiful. I want to take a picture of her looking this way and frame it. Hair tangled, sweat glistening her body making her look more sexy. I would give anything to continue seeing her this way but I can’t tire her out more than necessary. She is pregnant, I need to take that into consideration.“I am so tired” she manages to say, a smirk on her face.“Sorry baby” I brush some strands of heir to the back of her ear, “I will take you to have a shower okay?”With that, I pull out my phone and send her gynecologist a message before returning my focus to my woman.“I want to go home, babe” she whines, a pout on her lips.“Of course not babe, you need some rest okay? I have a meeting so I will come to pick you up after then, okay?”“Fine” she didn’t even have the energy to argue.Pulling her clothes down to cover her naked body, I gather her up in my arms before making my way out of the examination r
ODETTE’s POV.I don’t stop walking until we get to the car, Malachi behind me. I shouldn’t have let her go, I shouldn't have just slapped her. I should have dragged her by her hair and used the heels of my shoes to smash her fucking face. How dare she? How dare she think she can even think of hurting my family? The more I think about It, the more upset I become.“Babe?” Malachi gently grabs a hold of my hand, “calm down”“How can I fucking calm down?” I grit my teeth in anger, “that bitch..how dare she think she can do as she pleases just because I let her be? Who the fuck does she think she is?”“Do not forget that you are pregnant babe” he tells me again, “can you take a deep breath for me? Please?” He gently cups my face and I let out a sigh. I know stress is not good for the baby and I am trying so hard not to be so upset but I fucking can’t.“Let’s just go home babe” I finally tell him but before we can make a move, I see dad walking towards us.As soon as he comes to a halt in f
ODETTE’s POVFrom where I am seated, I see my husband take the stage and my heart swells in joy. Dressed in a custom made three piece suit and his hair pulled back in neat bun, the smile on his face will forever be etched in my heart. He looks proud, he looks happy and I am more proud of him. Survivor filmed for months and I saw him give his full commitment to that project. Days when he would go to the set, days when he would be on call for hours and days when he actually looked frustrated. But today, he looks happy and I can’t ask for anything more than for this smile to remain on his face.“Good evening ladies and gentlemen” his voice resonates in the entire hall, “it is good to have you all here, taking time out of your busy schedule to be here today. I really appreciate all of you and thank you”A round of applause leaves the room as his eyes settle on me, did he just wink at me from upstage? My cheeks flush and I stifle a smile, this man will surely be the death of me.“As you al
MALACHI’s POV.“I am sorry alpha” he continues to beg but I promise him that that’s the last thing he will ever get to say. Giving wolf hunters details about my pack and I lost seven pack members because of him. It is a sin, one I am not going to forgive even if the moon goddess comes down.“I am supposed to be with my wife” I start talking, rolling up the sleeves of my shirt, “I am supposed to be taking care of her and our baby but I am stuck here with you because you chose to be a fool. Now you can’t blame me for what has happened, okay?”“Please…The words hang in his mouth when I slap him hard across the face and blood pools out of his nose.“I hate injustice the most, Alec” I tell him again, “and you made a very big mistake doing that, you know right?”“I am sorry”I grab a hold of his neck and fling him across the room, his body falls down with a loud thud and he groans in pain.“I lost seven pack members because of you” I grab a hold of his neck again and push him against the w
ODETTE’s POV.“Good morning mum” the two of us air kiss before she helps me to sit. After Malachi left for Texas this morning, I decided to come stay home until he gets back. It was not a decision I made on my own, he made me promise to come back home to my parents until he gets back and I did. It’s been so I decided to come see my parents.“Where is dad?” I ask mum.“He has a meeting in his study” she replies, “let me make you some soup. You can go and say hi to him”“Okay mum”I watch her walk towards the kitchen before I also walk towards the elevator. They have a lot of servants but mum always prefers to cook for us and for dad. Dad has practically stopped asking her not to go to the kitchen. Anything to make his wife happy.As soon as I push dad’s door open, his face lights up and a smile spreads across it.“Who do we have here?” He asks, removing the glasses that is perched beautifully on his face. This man, he can give other older handsome men a run for their money because wha
BRYER’s POV.He has gone against everything that I believe in, my love and my hatred for him. He killed Rome, the only person who saw me as family in this damned world. He killed him and sent his body to me. For this, I will make him pay. I love him but he has made a mistake, a mistake that I will never be able to forgive. Maybe this is what we need, becoming arch enemies.I didn’t bat an eyelid taking the battered body of Rome to his front door. I want him to always remember what he did and how Rome looked when he died. I want Malachi to always remember that he is a murderer and he will pay for what he did. I love him to death but I also hate him in the same way.“Malachi!!” I continue to yell out his name, not caring if he is sleeping. I mean, how can he sleep? He killed one of his kind, he must face the consequences of his actions and I will take my revenge on him. Up until now I have been holding back because I love him and I want to be with him but now I am going to make it my li
