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
BRYER’s POV.Dropping my phone on the table, the smile on my face intensifies as I continue watching the man beside me sleep. Despite being an alpha, Zachary has always been a weak man and I know that first hand. Being able to manipulate him is something that I can do with my eyes closed and him lying here with me is proof enough. He even agreed to join hands with him and bring his ex wife back. I have no issue with that but it will become an issue when Odette tries to act funny with me.With one last look at him, I pull my body off the bed and start to get dressed but at that moment, his eyes open and a slight frown forms on it.“Where are you going?” He asks, pulling his body to a sitting position.“Why?” I ask him back, “you and I no longer share a relationship so you shouldn’t be bothered about me. Today is a full moon, I need to make preparations”“You will stay here, Bryer” Zachary grits his teeth, “you are the Luna of this pack and it is a full moon tonight, you should stay and
ZACHARY’s POV.“Fuck!!!” I fling the phone across the room and I watch it smash into the wall, shattering to the ground with so much intensity.How dare he? How dare he do this? I know no one else would do this and In a time like this. How can they all decide to pitch their tent with him and before I am able to comprehend that news, Blossom headquarters caught fire. I can swear on my life that all this is Malachi’s doing. He is trying to push me to the wall and see how I am going to retaliate.My second phone starts to ring but I ignore it, I am not even in the mood to speak to anyone at the moment. I plop down on the couch and bury my face in my palms, this is when the front door opens again and she saunters in.“I thought you left?” I ask her.“Rome called and informed me about what happened, I couldn’t leave” Bryer comes to sit beside me, “I know how your anger works, it is better for you to not be alone”“I don’t need you to come take care of me, Bryer. You should be on your way”
ZACHARY’s POV.I push the door open and step into the room, my eyes catch the lady on the bed and I let out a little smirk. There she is, the one who almost sent me to jail. I have spent the past weeks trying to maneuver my way out of police custody. Yes, they found evidence against me but it was not enough to throw me in prison and that’s why I am still here. Now she is the one on the hospital bed and she even had the guts to call me to come see her. I wouldn’t have agreed but part of me wanted to see what has become of her now, part of me still wanted to see her despite everything that has happened between us. I guess that the effect of spending too much time with someone.“Who is it?” She asks immediately I lower myself on the space beside her, “who are you?”“This is funny” I answer, “wanting to go blind for a man? How obsessed are you with him, Bryer?”“I thought you wouldn’t come, Zach” she sounds a bit relaxed now, “why did you come?”“You called and even though I hate you, I c
MALACHI’s POV.When she saw me smoking, I actually wanted to go after her but I stopped myself. She has never seen me smoke before and that was a part of me I wanted to keep away from her but she found out. She was calling me earlier and I purposely didn’t pick her calls. I was upset about a lot of things and I couldn’t bring myself to talk to her because I didn’t want her to notice anything.After I left the hospital, I went back to the office but I didn’t go into my office. The fact that Zachary will continue to bother us even after what I did to him today is more annoying than anything. I want to kill him, I want to erase his memory from her life. He had her before me, they had something between them. They have broken up but I am still upset about that fact. I want her to give me the permission to end him, to finally rid this world of someone like him. The more I thought about it, the more upset I got.“You are just an unsecured prick” these words have been ringing in my head since
ODETTE’s POV.The time is already past 8pm but Malachi is not back yet. He left me at the office a while back and he hasn’t returned yet. The driver asked if he should take me home but I refused. He told me he was coming soon so I am going to wait for him.A gentle knock on the door jolts me out of my thoughts and I raise my head to see Emma saunter into the office.“Ma’am” she bows lightly, “it is already late. How about I ask the driver to send you home. Maybe the boss might not come back”“Did you try to call him?”“He didn’t answer my call, ma’am” she answers and I let out a sigh. Where the hell is my husband?Just as I open my mouth to talk, my mobile starts to ring and Jayden’s name pops up.“Excuse me” I pick up my phone and press it against my ear, “hello”“Odette” his voice filters through, “can you go to the office for me? I left a file on dad’s desk and no one is allowed to enter his office aside from the three of us. I have a meeting with Mr Ling in a few minutes, I need t
MALACHI’s POV. I had just finished signing a document when a soft tap comes on the door and it pushes open to reveal her ever gorgeous face. The day for the release of survivor is fast approaching and I have a lot of work to be done. The movie is already promising to be a big hit, I can only guide it on the right part. Just yesterday, I received news that Bryer injured her eyes and was rushed to the hospital. She never amazes me, she has always been someone who would rather die than let herself be embarrassed. Wolves don’t have the ability to heal themselves when it comes to their eyes so she knows exactly what she is doing and I know exactly why I have let her be in the hospital in cuffs. “Hey baby” Odette leans into my embrace and presses a light kiss on my lips, “I brought you lunch, you should take a break and eat. You have been really busy” “Okay sweetheart” I am not hungry but I don’t want to argue with her. She has become really sensitive these days. Even after she was done
BRYER’s POV.It has been one hell of a week. I felt like I died and woke up several times because my body is tired at this point. Malachi made do his threat, injecting me with substances and pushing me to the point of losing my primal control. He really is a nutcase and I have learnt first hand what I shouldn’t do.My whole body aches, my sense is muddled and it feels like I am going to cry all because of that bitch. It is her, she is the only reason why I have become this person that I am now.The iron doors open up and a usual face walks in. He has been coming to check in on me almost every hour, carrying out his boss’s orders without delay. He used to be one I know when I was in the pack but I guess ever since Malachi announced I was no longer part of the pack, everyone turned their backs on me.“Have you come to hurt me again?” I ask but instead he laughs.“You are already a mess, Bryer. I just derive joy in seeing you this one. You caused the alpha a lot of trouble, this time yo
ODETTE’s POV.I was waiting for Malachi to return, my attention on my phone when a shadow cast upon me and I raise my head to meet his gaze…Zachary. I haven’t seen him since I got back, the last I heard was that he was being reinvestigated after what Bryer did but what is he doing here? I didn’t take him to be someone who would visit the mall at this time then I see it, the lady behind him.The sight makes me scoff, he has jumped into the arms of another woman after Bryer left him. Without saying anything, I return my attention to my phone, not caring about his presence anymore.“Wait for me in the car” I hear him tell her and the lady immediately walks away. Still, I don’t raise my head from my phone. He is not worth my attention even in the slightest.“Odette” he calls out to me but I continue to ignore him. Now I wish Malachi is back already.“Odette” he calls again and this time I hiss lightly, finally raising my head to meet his gaze.“What do you want, Zach?”“I just need to ta
MALACHI’S POV.With my arm wrapped around her naked body, I bury my face in the crook of her neck and fill my lungs with her scent. The time is past 10PM but none of us have taken any time to sleep. I like the fact that we can stay in each other’s arms and just be ourselves.“What are you thinking about, my love?” She asks me, “you have been in thought for a while now”“I’m just thinking about how a lot has happened in the past few months, wifey” I tell her, snuggling closer to her, “but most especially I love the fact that we are together no matter what”“Should we go for a drive?” Odette suggests, pulling her body to a sitting position, “the weather is really nice”“You really want to go for a drive?” I ask and she nods vigorously.“We could get some ice cream on the way and even some chocolates too”“I should have known it’s your cravings speaking and not you” I tell her, pulling my naked body off the bed, “fine, let’s get dressed okay? I will get you everything you want”“Thank y
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
