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
CHAPTER THIRTY NINE.MALACHI’s POV.I had just finished setting the table for dinner when she walks back into the house looking a bit dejected and tired. I don’t bother asking her what’s wrong because I already know what happened. Seeing her like this breaks my heart. She didn’t say anything for two days and In those two days, it felt like my whole life came to a standstill. She was in pain and I couldn’t do anything about that. It made me feel incapable and unable to take care of my woman.When she showed up at the study earlier, I was happy she was finally out of bed but that didn’t stop her from noticing something was wrong and I had to tell her, I had to break her heart once again. Believe me, I wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to kill an alpha like Zach but she made me promise to wait till the right time. The only thing I can do at this moment is to comfort her and wait for the right time.Letting out a sigh, I make my way towards her and pull her into my embrace. Odette does
ZACHARY’s POV.The moment those words reach my ear, my heart skips a beat. What does she mean by my child? What the heck was that? I know Odette and she wouldn’t have kept my child after we broke up. I didn’t even know she was pregnant, how could she call me and tell me something like that?When I went to her house two days ago, I intended to speak to her but seeing her in that condition, I was somewhat happy. She hurt me too, she hurt me and I couldn’t stop myself from injecting her with the wolfsbane before I decided to take her to the hospital. For the time we were together, she didn’t get pregnant but she didn’t hesitate to get pregnant for someone but right mow it feels like my world has come to a fucking standstill.I call her number again but she doesn’t answer. Luckily I am still in New York for a business meeting , I grab my car keys and rush out of the room. I want her to look me in the eyes and tell me those disgusting lies.In no time, my car pulls in front of Malachi’s ho
ODETTE’s POV.“Babe?” Malachi calls out to me for the umpteenth time but I just continue facing the wall, not having the energy or the ability to look at him. It hurts, it hurts so badly and there is nothing I can do about it.I struggled to accept the fact that I would give birth to Zachary’s child but I loved the feeling of being pregnant nonetheless. It was my child, mine but it was snatched from me. The more I think about it, the more sad and upset I am. I gently touch my tummy and close my eyes. It is empty now, my child didn’t even get the chance to come into this world..I sniff back a tear, I don’t want Malachi to see me in pain because he is in pain himself. I don’t want him to see me the way I am broken, broken from inside. It’s been two days but it feels like yesterday where I lost my baby. How will I be able to forgive myself for not taking good care of my baby?“Babe?” He calls out again but I continue to ignore him. I can’t even face him, how can I do that without feelin
MALACHI’s POV.Torturing someone who has one way or another gone against me is one of the sweetest things in my world, making them scream in pain and agony makes me and my wolf excited and that is the kind of immense joy I felt a while back, seeing Bryer in that kind of pain. She was my best friend, that would have never happened to her if only she respected boundaries and not called my wife names.Pushing the thoughts of her to her to the back of my head, I make my way into my room and at that moment, a call comes through my phone.Seeing her name pop up on the screen makes a warm smile appear on my face. Plopping down on the bed, I click on the receive button before pressing the phone against my ear.“Hello love” her voice filters through and I immediately feel my anger disappearing. This wife of mine has the power to make or break me and I am not going to stop her from doing whatever she wants with me, that’s how much I love and want her.“I have been calling you” Odette says from
BRYER’s POV.As soon as I drop my phone, I plop on the bed and close my eyes trying to calm my mind. Last night was really rough, I didn’t even know Zachary would end up believing me but he did and that was something I owe to Jacquline. If she didn’t give me that portion from the beginning, how would I have been able to have Zach wrapped around my fingers. He believed me without one single doubt and I hope it remains like that until I can finally get what I want.Now going back to Texas could be dangerous but I need to show Malachi that I am not scared of his threats. We belong side by side, I am the only person who is capable of standing beside him and protecting him when things go haywire.My phone chimes with a message and I pick it up, my forehead creases into an angry frown when I see the content of the message. The idea to check Zachary’s dash cam this morning occurred to me and when I did, I realized it caught everything that happened last night, more than enough to tarnish Od
ZACHARY’s POV.I angrily throw the documents on the table and all the board members flinch, my eyes travel around the room before settling on the man standing on the podium.“Is this what you have to offer me?” I ask him, “one whole week and this is the rubbish you fucking bring to me?”No one says anything and this angers me the most, do they all think I pay them to laze around and just.. Pulling myself from the chair, I grab my phone.“If you are all not competent enough, I will have the lot of you replaced”“Mr Hills” one of them finally speaks up, “the company is in on the rise now, i believe we can make the most out of this if we decide to partner with Echo”A deep frown forms on my face as I tighten my jaw together. That name is the bane of my existence.“Find other Investors” I tell them, “or you all can submit your resignation letter”With that I storm out of the conference room. It’s been a while since I finally brought my company to the limelight and of course it is doing we
ODETTE’s POV.With a heavy sigh, I plop down on the chair as the two of them continue to stare back at me like they do not know me. This is the main reason why I didn’t tell any of them because I know they will get hyper sensitive about everything.“You know you didn’t have to fly back because of this right?” I ask Jayden, “it’s not as serious as you think”“Are you kidding me?” Kayden flares up, “all this was going on and you didn’t deem it fit to let us know? I would have killed that bastard myself if you told me earlier”“I can handle Zach on my own” I tell them, “now can we stop discussing this? Mum gave me an earful earlier today and the two of you won’t let me rest too. I have a lot on my plate right now and I can not think if anything else”“How is Malachi treating you?”“That question reminds me of mum” I say to the both of them and I see how their gaze drops. The fact that mum had gone through the same thing and I am also going through it means the moon goddess is quite aware
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
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
