ENZO’s POV. I see how Michelle’s face gets red and I scoff, she is just too funny even on a hospital bed. Earlier when that pain enveloped her, fear actually gripped me and I lost all sense of reasoning but seeing her smiling and joking around now, I feel a lot better. I actually don’t know what the moon goddess is planning but the lady in front of me is definitely something else, something I would like to get closer to more than this and I am going to make sure of that. Her pain, her heartache, her sadness and her anxiety, I want to get rid of everything and anything that makes her sad and upset. “Stop staring at me like that” Michelle says after a while, “I don’t want to be too close to you” I chuckle lightly, I love the fact that she is trying to act hard to get, it makes me want to be around her the more. My mobile begins to ring again and the look on her face changes which makes my smirk widen. Is she being jealous right now? Thinking about it, it kind of make
NATALIA’s POV. Nicholas has been gone for most part of the day because of the wolf hunters that were caught a day ago. Life at the pack house was getting better and everything was on track. This was the life I wanted, this was the life for me. The life that my little sister stole from me. Speaking of little sister, I had asked someone to find her for me but no one knows where she went and that was better. It was a good thing that she disappeared from our lives for good, I couldn’t stand her anyways. Now under the tainting sun of the city, I am seated at the foot of the im swimming pool with a bottle of champagne beside me and my favorite music blaring from unseen stereos when one of the workers walks up to me with a slight bow. “Someone is here to see you, Luna” she announces and my forehead creases into a slight frown. I am not expecting anyone and Nicholas is not back yet, that I am sure of. So who has come to see me at this time? “Who is it?” I ask her again, “who
MICHELLE’s POV. My mouth hangs open in awe as Enzo opens the car door for me. The mansion in front of me looks like something out of a fairytale. Every detail, every extravagance is unique and I can not help but marvel at it. The Middlemist Red Camellia gracing his front lawn catches my attention and I can not help but be wowed. This flower is one of the rarest flowers and Enzo has it in abundance and not to mention the beautiful mansion that looks like a chapel. The one who designed this house must have spent years coming up with the best design. “You look impressed” his voice filters into my ear and I jolt out of my reverie of thought before turning my head towards him, my eyes didn’t miss the smirk on his lips. He looks proud. “The house is really beautiful” I tell him, “of course I am impressed” “This is the only building you will ever find like this, Michelle” he tells me, “one of a kind” “Hmmm” My eyes catch the attention of the two people walking
ENZO’s POV. After I leave Michelle alone in the room, I briskly make my way towards the study. Izzy and Xavier are already waiting for me and the look on both faces tells me this is more than an abduction. Diego wants me to unleash my full wrath and he will not like it. “She settled in fine?” Izzy asks as I lower myself on my favorite reclining chair. “Hmm” I answer with a nod before turning to Xavier, “tell me everything that happened” “Hakeem and Melisa had gone to the mall and that’s when it happened. Here” he drops his phone in front of me, “Diego sent me the video” I pick up the phone and look at the video, my eyes darken at the sight of it. From the look of things, Diego has planned this for a long time now after what happened some weeks ago. “What do you think we should do, Enzo?” Izzy asks me, “we can not leave Hakeem and Melisa with them, those two are part of our best soldiers” “I will talk to Avra” I finally answer and her forehead creases into a frown.
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as Enzo kisses me, something reverberates over my body. I am not sure what is or what it signifies but I am sure it is definitely something. Something that will change my entire life forever. I don’t push him away, I allow him to hold onto me and deepen the kiss. Maybe this is what I need, to finally get rid of the thoughts of Nicholas away from my head. For three years, I stayed loyal to him but he didn’t bat an eyelid before getting my sister pregnant. I no longer care about him and I am going to do me starting forward. With this at the back of my mind, I snake my hand around Enzo’s torso and deepen the kiss. We continue to kiss and hold onto each other. His hand cups the small of my back and our tongues dance in sync. For a while, I am lost in his world. In the beautiful world he has shown me just in a day and now for some reason, I want to remain in that world and allow him to take care of me in my mess. After a few seconds, Enzo slowly pu
ENZO’s POV. With my back pressing against the chair, I let out a heavy sigh. I have not slept a wink since yesterday night. After feeding Michelle dinner, I helped her to bed and came back to my study. I have a lot of work to finish off and it is taking a lot of time. I have two surgeries scheduled for the next seven hours and some pack issues I need to take care of. Just a day away from Los Angeles and my table is packed full with work. My musing is interrupted when my mobile begins to beep. At first I want to ignore the call but on second thought, I pick up the phone and my eyes darken at the sight of the caller. The nerves!! I click on the receive button before pressing the phone against my ear. “Why have you called?” “I am in front of your house Enzo” Avra’s voice filters into my ear, “let’s have a talk” “The nerve of you to show up in front of my house, Avra” I growl in anger, “how dare you?” “You can do what you chose to me Enzo, I really need to see you”
MICHELLE’s POV. With one last look at the mirror, I nod at myself before making my way out of the room. Today is my appointment with the doctor Enzo recommended and I am feeling optimistic about it. I have a feeling that I would hear some good news in a few hours and I am excited. Luckily after that day at the hospital, the pain subsided but I still felt it on a few occasions. Earlier, Enzo sent me a message saying he would be late since he has a surgery at the hospital and he told me one of his men will bring me to the hospital. He made breakfast before leaving and I can’t help but feel indebted to him, he has treated me so nicely that I can not thank him enough. Looking at myself again, I nod again. I am dressed in a pair of denim flay pants and a white long sleeve shirt to go with it and I pull my hair into a messy bun. I am in no mood to dress to kill and this is the perfect dress for me at this moment. I pick my my glasses before making my way out of the room an
ENZO’s POV. As soon as Michelle crashes into my embrace, I pull her into my arms and she rests her head against my chest. I hate the fact that she is in so much pain and I can do little or less to help her. I hate seeing pain in her eyes, I hate seeing her cry but right now even with all the power I have, I am unable to help her. “Give us a moment, Lawrence” I tell him and he nods before making his way out of the examination room leaving the two of us. I allow her to cry until I can only hear her whimpers then I slowly disengage from her. “Do you feel better now?” “I don’t want to lose my baby, Enzo” Michelle tells me, “i really don’t want to” “Look here princess” I gently grab a hold of her hand, “you trust me yeah?” “Hmmm” she nods softly. “You have a long life ahead of you and you can not allow such a thing to pull you back. You can have as many babies as you want in the future, let’s get rid of this one and you can.. “No!!” Michelle immediately interrupts me
MALACHI’s POV.Everything happened in an instant and before I knew what was happening, my fangs were buried in her neck and my wolf howled in excitement at the thought of becoming one with her. I loved her and I didn’t try to stop myself from marking her even though she got upset and tried to tell her uncle and her aunt nothing about me.Why the heck was she so worried about the fact that I had a mate? Yes, I had a mate but that is my cross to carry and not hers but holding her in my arms now and kissing her, all my anger goes away until she pushes me off, her gaze on something behind me.I follow her line of sight and I see Mason there, he looked very mad and disgusted to say the least. Well, I can’t blame him. He loves Bryer and wants her to be his sister in law but he keeps forgetting about the fact that I do not love Bryer and I do not want to spend my life with her.“Why didn’t you call me that you were coming, Mason?” I ask him, an eyebrow raising in the process.“So you could t
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
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.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
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
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.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
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
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
