ZACHARY’s POV.I keep pacing up and down until I hear her footsteps behind me, I turn around to see her walking towards me, an expressionless look on her face.In the past I would have pulled her into my embrace and maybe kissed her but right now we have become strangers to ourselves. Looking at her, the thought of my child growing in her belly envelopes me and I swallow hard, the deed has already been done, there is no need to cry over spilt milk.“Where is Bryer?” I ask her, “I have not come to cause any problems for you since you had just had a miscarriage but I need you to give her to me, I do not have the strength to argue with you”“Did you ever love me, Zachary” Odette asks me,her tone calm and gentle, “did you ever sit down and think to yourself that this would hurt me? I gave you nothing but love and this is how you repay me, Zach?”“What the heck are you doing now?” I groan in frustration, “tell me, do you want me back? Do you want me to take you as my Luna again?”“Bryer’s
MALACHI’s POV.As soon as those words leave his mouth, my eyes darken and I let go of Odette, taking slow steps towards him. Did he just call my woman his wife in my presence? Did he just open his mouth and fucking call her his?The more I think about it, the more my wolf howls in my head. I want to kill him, shatter him into a million pieces and make sure his wolf never recovers. How dare he? How dare he stand in front of me and call her his?“What did you just say?” I ask him as soon as I come to stand in front of him, “did you just call my wife your woman?”“What did you expect?” Zachary blurts out, “it was bound to happen sooner or later. Fine, I was not in my right mind and you jumped in to make her yours. What did you think? That you would have a love story like her dad and her mum?”My hand collides with his face in a slap and I grab him by the neck, my eyes burning with anger.The pain in my chest is still lingering a little but hearing him call Odette his wife makes my wolf s
ZACHARY’s POV.I slump back against the wall, Odette’s words ringing in my head. How the heck did I make such a mistake? How the heck did I let Bryer do all this to me! Why the fuck did I let Odette go? When did Bryer do all this to me? I know we had something but it broke off when I met Odette and I genuinely fell in love with her. We had so much to do together, we loved each other and I messed everything up. I even tortured her and still…“Fuck” I shake my head to remove those thoughts. How the heck did I do this, I am sure the moon goddess will be cringing at the thought of me being one of her creations. I even went as far as killing our own child. I knew she wasn’t lying, she didn't lie. I could see it in her eyes, the pain and the agony. How did I change, how did I become the man she hates so much, when did I push her away into the arms of another man.A lot is going on in my head and how I want this to be a fucking dream.A knock on the door makes me jolt out of my thoughts.“Z
BRYER’s POV.As soon as Zach walks out of the room, I angrily throw the pillow against the door. How dare he come to me after what he did? He killed my baby, my trump card. My wolf howls in my head as I ball my hands into a fist. Who the hell does he think he is and how dare he? He made me lose my baby and I won’t let him go no matter what. I am going to use him to get whatever I want and be best believe, I am not even joking about it.I close my eyes trying to calm my aching heart. Yes, I only wanted to use the child for my personal gain but it was mine and I had an attachment to it. I refuse to cry, instead I will put more effort into getting what I want. Only after I get Malachi will I be able to live peacefully. Only by his side will I be able to get everything I want. Zach can no longer offer me anything but he will be my stepping stone, I will use him to get everything I have ever wanted.I didn’t grow up into affluence like others but I was lucky enough to meet Malachi and his
ODETTE’s POV. I drop the phone on the table as a hand snake around my waist. I don’t bother to turn around because I already know who it is. I let out a sigh, allowing my head to rest on his chest.“See why I told you not to watch that stupid video?” Malachi asks, his voice deep and hoarse, “I told you it would only mess with your mood”“I am fine, babe” I tell him, “I am more concerned for her. I mean she lost a baby but doesn’t even look like she cares. Going around and making a video shows how stupid she actually is. I mean, why blame me for that?”“What do you think?” He turns me around to face him, our faces only inches away from each other, “because she badly wants to be you, my love and she knows it will never be possible so she wants to do everything to tarnish your reputation”I shrug as I help arrange his tie, “then she better do a good job because this is almost like a child’s play. She really thinks I will not be able to get out of this one?”Before Malachi can say anyth
ZACHARY’s POV. Seeing her walk into the hotel room, my heart skipped a beat. She is putting on a pair of jeans trousers and a crisp white shirt which is neatly tucked into her pants. She has her silver hair in a high ponytail and fuck, I want to pull her into my embrace and hug her. How did I miss this? How did I let her go and get involved with that Bryer?The lady who used to smile so much when she saw me was now looking at me like a total stranger.Standing up, I try to pull out the chair for her but she stops me.“I can do this myself” Odette tells me, “you do not need to worry about me”“Be it you or someone else, I should act as a gentleman, Odette”I must have sounded funny because she scoffs before pulling out the chair herself.“That is rich coming from you, Zachary”Shaking my head, I walk back to my chair and also sit down, my gaze not leaving her.“I ordered your favorite wine”“I don’t drink that anymore”“It’s not even up to three months, bae..“You do realize I have a
ODETTE’s POV.As soon as Zachary walks out of the room, Malachi drops the bat he is holding and combs his hair with his fingers. He looks upset, very upset. I have never seen him in this kind of position before. He looks like he is about to set the entire building on fire.“Babe…The words hang in my throat when the door opens again and a few of the hotel staff enter. The moment they see a mess, all of them start looking around wondering what to say or do.“Is everything alright sir?” The one who seems to be the hotel manager asks.Pulling out his wallet, Malachi drop two Cheques on the tablel, each containing fifty million dollars“If this is not enough to take care of the damage in this room, you can call my office”With that, he turns around and walks out of the room not bothering to spare me any glance. If he is behaving like this in this way, I must have really hurt him. Grabbing my bag, I also follow him to see him waiting by the elevator.“I thought you left?” I ask him but he
MALACHI’s POV.When Mason informed me of the meeting between Odette and Zachary, I was so mad that I wanted to kill him. I immediately left the meeting I was in and went straight to that hotel. The only thing that made it possible for him to walk out of that hotel alive was the fact that she stopped me. She stopped me from killing him if not I eat wolves like him for a snack.But how could I stay mad at her for long? The moment her body came in contact with her and my lips rested on hers, I felt all of my anger disappear and the only thing I wanted to do at that moment was take her to bed and make insane love to her but i couldn’t. Her gynecologist hasn’t given me the permission yet so I had to take a long cold shower to keep my shaft from getting a hard on again. That wife of mine is giving me a hard time and I love it.I step out of the shower with a towel loosely wrapped around my waist and as soon as I enter the room, my phone starts to beep and as soon as I see the caller ID, I a
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
