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
