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
ODETTE’s POV.The moment I hear those words, I abruptly pull my skirt down and jump off the bed, Malachi’s lips tilt into a mocking smirk as he lowers himself on the bed.“You are going to go in there reeking of sex, babe”I roll my eyes to the back of my head, look at him talking like it’s not his fault. He is the one who put me in this position in the first place. Note to self: never have sex in the hospital where your father and your husband are both admitted” Walking towards the mirror, I start to fix my hair and my clothes.“You look okay, baby” he says to me, “you should go and see father in law now”“Hmm” I nod, “I will tell them you are taking a rest, okay?”“I will get changed and be there okay?”“But…“I am fine” he subtly cuts me off, his gaze softening, “I will come soon, okay?”“Okay baby” pressing forward, I kiss him lightly on the lips, running my index finger over his lips to clean a little bit of my gloss, “and make sure you take a shower” my gaze falls on his erect
MALACHI’s POV.Walking into the room, I see my wife seated beside her sleeping father, her head on the bed beside him and seeing that she didn’t raise her head when I walk in, I know for a fact that she is sleeping. Walking gently towards her, I squat beside her before tapping her gently.“Baby”Odette stirs in her sleep and opens her eyes, a light yawn leaves her mouth.“Baby, you are back?”“Hmm” I nod, “I am back. Come, I will take you home so you can take some rest, okay?”“I don’t want to leave dad alone” she sounds adamant.“You are not leaving him okay? Kayden and Ayana are both outside. They will look after him till your mum gets back. You are pregnant, remember? You don’t need all of these stress right now”She lets out a sigh, I hate seeing her in this kind of situation. How I wish I was in her stead.“Okay? You need all the rest you can get now. I don’t want you getting sick in your condition, my love” I cup her face lightly and press a kiss against the tip of her nose, “pl
BRYER’s POV.I let out a little gasp as I push open my eyes but I am met with ultimate darkness and silence. The ground underneath me is cold and it is seeping through my skin. The last thing I remember was someone walking up to me when I was leaving the mall earlier and the rest is history.Who dared to do this to me? Who dared to capture me and put me in a position like this? Could it be Zachary? I ratted him out to the police and he is getting investigated again or it could be Odette. I mean, I harmed her father and landed him in this hospital. It wasn’t that hard to do since their cleaning lady had a gambling addiction, I was able to buy her off as soon as I talked to her but she wouldn’t have that time to have me captured right? Or was it Malachi? Did he do this?I have a lot of questions but no one to ask, not when this place looks like my nightmare. Wolves have the ability to see even in the dark but for some reason, I am unable to do that. What the heck is happening? Who was
ODETTE’s POV.Despite being upset with him, I can’t go against him and that’s why I sat my ass on the bed when he told me to.I can think clearly now, I went a bit overboard at the hospital but if I didn’t meet him, Bryer wouldn’t have come into our lives so my anger was a bit justified. I am going to find her and I am going to tear her into a million pieces, scatter her remains all over the world and make sure she regrets it for the rest of her life.The rain is still falling heavily and I wouldn’t be able to go back to the hospital anytime soon so I decided to call my mum and from the tone of her voice, nothing has happened yet.“The doctors are going to check him for the drugs” she says, “you shouldn’t worry too much, my darling”I sniff back a tear, this hurts more than anything I can even think of, “I am sorry mum” I tell her, “dad is in this condition because of me”“It is not because of you, my baby. Don’t worry, your father will be fine. You should make up with your husband, y
MALACHI’s POV.She cried, she had tears in her eyes and it was because of me and she was fucking right. Bryer came into her life because of me. It is my fault that Mr Philips is in this condition, it is my fault that my wife cried and even slapped me. For the first time since we got married, I didn’t go after her. Not because I am upset but because I know she needs some space away from me.“Fuck!!” I mutter under my breath taking a few steps back from the elevator door. My world has come to a fucking standstill. We were happy a few hours ago so what the hell is this?“What’s going on man?” Kayden asks, “what’s happening?”“We need to get the doctor now,” I tell him before turning to my mother in law. She looks so pale and my heart breaks into a million pieces again. It is my fault that everything has happened, I caused this.“Mum…” my voice trails off, I don’t even know what to say to her at this point. She could hate me too, I caused her husband to be here in the first place.“You sh
ODETTE’s POV. Right from Costa Rica down till when the plane touched down in New York, I didn’t say a word and I didn’t call any of my family members. I can’t lie, I was scared. I was scared of what they would say, I was scared that something had happened to my father and I didn’t want to hear it. I was so anxious that I wished we could reach sooner. One of Malachi’s cars was already waiting when the plane landed and in no time, we were on our way to the city hospital. That man, he loves me like a real daughter and never made me feel the absence of a real father. I don’t even know any other father aside from him. How can he come down with a heart attack? Father is not one to neglect his health so how is that even possible? I close my eyes and sniff back a tear, I feel like I am about to lose my fucking mind, I am about to go crazy. Malachi wraps his hand around my waist and pulls me closer and I let him. I rest my head on his shoulder and allow myself to feel whatever I need
MALACHI’s POV.Seeing my wife in that position gives me one of the biggest hardons ever but I don’t want to tire her out again so I only help her shower and put her to bed. She looked so beautiful moaning like that a while back, I wouldn’t be able to keep that image of her out of my head even if I tried.“Are you tired?” I ask as I cover her with the blanket.“Well, can’t say I am not” her face breaks into a small smile, “but I loved that, it was…adventurous, you could say that”I lean forward and press a kiss on her forehead, “now take some rest okay? I have some work to finish in the living room”“Don’t be long, okay?”“Of course princess”After another kiss, I finally make my way out of the room, switching off the light on my way out. I still have a hard on and I doubt it will reduce soon. The moon goddess knows how much I want her but I can’t be so selfish to do that to her after making her fuck herself and I watched.My lips tilt slightly, that image is going to be in my head fo
ODETTE’s POV.Swimming more laps, I finally pull my wet body out of the water as my face breaks into a smile. Malachi is seated at the foot of the pool, his eyes on me with a glass of red wine in hand. Ever since I got pregnant, he has refused to taste any kind of alcohol, he said he didn’t want his child to think his father is an alcoholic.“Aren’t you tired?” He asks me, his voice a mixture of warmth and love.“How about you swim with me?” I inquire with a pout, “the water is nice babe, the moon is beautiful. What more do you want? The night is perfect”“With you everything is perfect, my love” he tells me, a wink following suit, “you know that, don’t you?”My cheeks flush and my smile widens, this man knows how to make me smile without making an effort.“Come and swim with me, Malachi”“I am supposed to be keeping an eye on you, babe”“Come here, Mr man” I raise an eyebrow at him, “or I going to be mad at you”He lets out a sigh before chugging down his entire glass.Before I can s
BRYER’s POV.From afar, I see him taking a sip of his coffee. I know he wouldn’t want to see me now but if I want to get everything back, I need to get his trust back.I just need the right amount of words and pretense.Throwing the half cigarette on the floor, I squash it with my leg before making my way into the café. I have to do this now, I need to make a fucking move. I can’t just sit idle waiting for something to happen.“Mason!” I call out his name gently and he immediately springs up from the chair, anger written on his face.“What are you doing here, Bryer?”I glance at the lady beside him, the one from the salon. I didn’t know two of them were acquaintances, I could have gotten some information for free from her.“Miss Bryer” her face breaks into a small smile.“I didn’t know you knew him” I tell her, flashing her a smile, “Boyfriend?”“It is none of your business” Mason snaps before she can even answer me, “what do you want, Bryer?”I let out a sigh, he has his guards up mo
